the sentence given to the man who stabbed to death three people in nottingham was unduly lenient and is referring it to the court of appeal. valdo calocane was sentenced to an indefinite hospital order last month for killing students barnaby webber and grace o'malley kumar, and school caretaker ian coates lastjune. our home affairs correspondent tom symonds is with me. so the attorney general making it very clear that she is not happy with the sentence?— with the sentence? yes, valdo calocane pleaded _ with the sentence? yes, valdo calocane pleaded guilty - with the sentence? yes, valdo calocane pleaded guilty to - calocane pleaded guilty to manslaughter, not murder, because he said he was suffering from diminished responsibility, mental health conditions, and five psychiatric reports agreed with that position. and thejudge psychiatric reports agreed with that position. and the judge set as a result he was sending him not to prison but to a secure hospital. he did say he thought calocane would never be released, he would be there for his whole life, but because it is a hospital order he could be released if he made a significant recovery, if he was no longer a risk to the public. and so the attorney
1:05 pm
general has said that as too lenient sentence because it doesn't penalise him for what he did. and that is why the court of appeal will now look closely at this. but it has to weigh up closely at this. but it has to weigh up a few things here, this is a complicated case. it has to look at the judge's complicated case. it has to look at thejudge's view complicated case. it has to look at the judge's view that calocane should be in a hospital thejudge's view that calocane should be in a hospital and is the judge's view that calocane should be in a hospital and is not in prison because if he was in prison he might be a risk to inmates, might not take his medication. and also the possibility that once he was released he could then be sent, from hospital, he could then be sent to prison. so there's a few things there for the court of appeal to weigh up. but it's really in the end about what we do about people who have significant mental illnesses, that the judge himself that there wasn't evidence to suggest he would be a risk to the public if he hadn't been mentally ill. ., ~ public if he hadn't been mentally ill. . ~ , ., , public if he hadn't been mentally ill. . ~ ,, , . public if he hadn't been mentally ill. . ~ , . ., ill. thank you very much, tom symonds- _ bbc news has uncovered important new details about the post office scandal in which hundreds of sub—postmasters were wrongly prosecuted. we've analysed documents from seven years ago, which show the government knew the post office had suddenly

abandoned a secret investigation into the faulty horizon it system — even though it was an investigation that could have helped the postmasters prove their innocence. andy verity has this exclusive report. take digital signatures, suppressed internal reviews and a secret investigation —— fake digital signatures. evidence withheld from corporate revealed in confidential documents released through freedom of information and analysed by the bbc. they prove the post office learnt ten years ago from an internal review called project zebra that some subpostmasters' accounts could be fiddled with it without their knowledge, which might have undone all the convictions had the post office admitted it. a top qc, jonathan swift, said the findings contradicted years of denials and told the post office chair tim parker in 2016 it must be investigated. we found out that parker had ordered delight to trawl
1:07 pm
through every transaction on the horizon it system going back to 1999 to find out how often remote fiddling had happened and why. ministers in david cameron's government knew about the investigation, including business secretary sajid javid and baroness lucy neville rolfe. but then the investigation suddenly stopped. it made me bankrupt. this- investigation suddenly stopped. it - made me bankrupt. this subpostmaster was civen a made me bankrupt. this subpostmaster was given a three-year— made me bankrupt. this subpostmaster was given a three-year sentence - was given a three—year sentence based on evidence from the horizon system and his conviction still has not been quashed. if deloitte pellagra investigation had been completed it might have helped falsely accused subpostmasters like him by providing crucial evidence that the evidence used to convict them couldn't be relied on. —— if

said... no money could make up for the undeserving shame he and his family have wrongly been made to feel. a final appeal by the wikileaks founder julian assange against extradition to the united states is underway at the high court today but mr assange himself failed to appear:. to appear. his lawyer says he's too unwell to attend. julian assange, an australian citizen, is wanted in the us for leaking secret military files over a decade ago. nicky schiller reports. for the past five years, julian assange has been fighting his extradition to the united states. that is to face trial over the leaking military secrets. the us says he put lives at risk. wikileaks published classified military files over a decade ago. he says the case is politically motivated, and, supporters say, exposed wrongdoing. us, uk, hands off assange!
1:11 pm
hundreds of those supporters turned up outside the high court for the start of the case. many arguing that this isn't only about mr assange but also about press freedom worldwide. mr assange's wife, stella, said that his health has deteriorated and this decision is life or death for him. this case is an admission by the united states that they now criminalise investigative journalism. it is an attack on alljournalists, all over the world. it is an attack on the truth, and an attack on the public�*s right to know. julian is a political prisoner, and his life is at risk. in 2010, julian assange's wikileaks published leaked video of iraqi civilians killed by us forces. just one of thousands of us secrets. two years later, he fled into the ecuadorian embassy in london. in 2018, the us began preparing a prosecution against him.
1:12 pm
the next year, mr assange was removed from the embassy and he has been injail ever since. the case here hinges on a 2021 ruling that mr assange can be extradited. that was upheld by the supreme court in 2022, and the then home secretary priti patel signed the extradition order. mr assange is seeking for permission to review that decision, and to challenge the original court ruling. if that fails, mr assange could be handed over within weeks, although his lawyers have suggested that they could take the case to the european court of human rights, if the appeal is turned down. nicky schiller, bbc news, at the high court. the united states has — for the first time — proposed a un resolution calling for a temporary ceasefire in gaza. the us is israel's most important ally and it's previously avoided the word �*ceasefire' during united nations votes on the war. the draft resolution also opposes israel's plans to attack the city of rafah in southern gaza, where more than a million

palestinians have taken refuge. jenny hill reports from jerusalem. in gaza's darkness, a rescue mission. underfire, working by torchlight, doctors try to get patients out of nasser hospital. "don't worry," they reassure this woman. israel raided the hospital last week. where once there was treatment, hope, there is fear and pain. and the team couldn't get everyone out. even now, there are patients trapped inside. we were shocked at what we saw in nasser medical complex. there is waste everywhere. electricity was no good, not working. parts of the hospital are damaged, some severely damaged. israel claims that a clinic was a hamas base. used to hold hostages.
1:14 pm
troops exhibit what they say is evidence — hamas vehicles, weapons, cars stolen during the october 7th attacks. and prescription medicine sent in for the hostages by their desperate relatives at home. israel insists it won't stop in gaza until the captives are freed. it has released new footage of one kidnapped family, apparently being moved inside gaza on the day of the attacks. you canjust make out shiri bibas, clutching her nine—month—old baby, as they are taken away. but the human cost of israel's war on gaza alarms its allies. even the us, its closest partner, is now demanding a ceasefire. it would be a precious respite for the people of gaza, attacked notjust by israel but by disease, hunger. look what happened when an aid convoy drove into this

1:16 pm
these sort of comments. it isa it is a very strongly worded intervention, clearly something about which he feels strongly. he says too many have been killed, and he talks about wanting to see an end to the fighting. he doesn't use the word ceasefire, he says an end to the fighting as soon as possible. he says there is a desperate need for increased humanitarian support for gaza, saying also that they need to hostages released as well, and goes on to speak about the importance of peace. it is a constructive and evenhanded message, sending a strong message of a sense of the need for something urgent to happen in terms of humanitarian need and human suffering. it is part of a package of visits is carrying out, today visiting humanitarian workers, he will hear about some of their work in gaza, and will also hear about anti—semitism and how that might be fought and counted. —— countered.

1:22 pm
the national farmers' union annual confrerence in birmingham, the first prime minister in 15 years to do so. here's our environment correspondentjonah fisher. in the fields and on the farms, all is not well. we're the end of the line in this farm. our kids don't want to take it on because there's no money in it. liz webster has 350 cows and says a combination of factors, including brexit, rising costs and unpredictable weather, has left many farmers like herself at their wits' end. are you still making a profit? is it still profitable to be a farmer? no, it's not! so why are you doing it? i don't know! because it's a way of life. sometime in the next 12 months, there's going to be a general election. and what farmers are hoping is that their concerns about, among other things, food security, prices and the environment will be key topics which politicians will have to address when they hit the campaign trail.
1:23 pm
and so it was that rishi sunak came to birmingham this morning to speak to the annual conference of the national farmers' union. this is the first time that a prime minister has come to this event since gordon brown. that's all the way back in 2008. i know that the transition from the common agricultural policy has been frustrating. it's taken time and i appreciate the perception that we didn't always get the balance exactly right. but i still believe that the vision is the right one. the services we provide must be shaped around your needs. and we've got to build a culture that's based on trust. there was no new money, but he announced support for innovation and technology and moves to make the contracts between farmers and supermarkets more transparent. food security will also now be monitored every year. it's a big step in the right direction. so good news for farmers? good news, but a step is not completely
1:24 pm
walking the talk. we need to see more. we need to see a plan forfood production. i've got your back. thank you very much. applause the prime minister was met with polite applause. but many farmers all across europe are furious and have taken to the streets. this was wales last week. roads brought to a standstill over new rules designed to help nature recover. the farmers' perhaps impossible challenge — to increase production while keeping prices down and the environment protected. jonah fisher, bbc news. rishi sunak could face another difficult by—election, after an independent panel upheld a recommendation to suspend the former conservative mp scott benton from the commons for 35 days. mr benton, who was elected as a conservative but now sits as an independent, was caught by the times newspaper offering to lobby ministers and table parliamentary questions on behalf of gambling investors.
1:25 pm
mps will now vote on whether to implement the suspension. an "unprecedented" number of women are being investigated by police on suspicion of illegally ending their pregnancy — that's according to two of britain's biggest abortion providers. the bbc has found evidence that women who have had natural pregnancy losses have also come under investigation — suspected of having an illegal abortion. divya talwar reports. sammy was seven months pregnant when she says she started feeling unwell. i had a bit of back ache. i think i'm having the baby. and then not even ten, 15 minutes later, he's here. he was blue, he was lifeless. the paramedic on the phone talked me through cpr. sammy and her baby were taken to hospital. she says the next thing she remembers is the police arresting her husband. both of them are placed under investigation, suspected of trying to illegally
1:26 pm
end the pregnancy. we were just treated like criminals from the get go, really. when she found out she was pregnant, sammy says she had initially wanted a termination. abortion is legal in britain before 24 weeks of pregnancy. sammy thought she was well within the legal limit, but says staff at the abortion clinic told her she was over the cut—off. i broke down. i couldn't believe i was, well, near enough 26. sammy says she was honest with police and hospital staff about wanting an abortion, even told them that she looked for pills but never bought or took them. but after the premature delivery, police suspected an illegal abortion may have been attempted. though her baby survived, she's faced a year—long investigation. my mental health, obviously, that's declined in the last year. abortion providers say that since 2020, a growing number of women are facing criminal investigations on suspicion of illegally
1:27 pm
ending a pregnancy. we're probably talking about 50 to 60 who are falling under active criminal investigation, but that compares to pretty well zero before 2018. they want to see abortion fully decriminalised. there's fierce opposition to that. i think that if you don't _ have the possibility of prosecution and if you don't have - the possibility of some sort of sentence, then you're in danger of having more of these cases - and not fewer. - we do need a deterrent. sammy recently received a call from police, who told her the investigation had been dropped. the force who handled her case told us that a thorough investigation was necessary to safeguard all involved. they said no further action would be taken against sammy nor her partner. ijust burst out into tears. i couldn't believe what i was hearing after all these months, all these weeks of not knowing. i wouldn't wish it upon anybody. divya talwar, bbc news.
