5:36 pm
is gary lineker, who earned 1.35 million pounds in the year to april. since the last report, there was a fall of around 500,000 households paying the licence fee — roughly 2% of the total. and in terms ofjobs — 500 more full time posts are to be cut by march 2026. that comes after 2,000 job reductions in the last five yea rs. let's turn now to the controversy over strictly come dancing — and concerns that some contestants may have been mistreated. the bbc�*s director general tim davie addressed that issue directly — apologising to anyone who had an experience which had not been wholly positive. with me is our culture correspondent charlotte gallagher. charlotte, at the start with strictly come dancing mama and weeks of negative headlines. i suppose the common denominator in all of those headlines is that is you of duty of care. it headlines is that is you of duty of care. , . headlines is that is you of duty of care. , ., ., headlines is that is you of duty of care. , ., ., ., , care. it is, and negative headlines about strictly _ care. it is, and negative headlines about strictly come _ care. it is, and negative headlines about strictly come dancing - care. it is, and negative headlines about strictly come dancing are l care. it is, and negative headlines. about strictly come dancing are the last thing the bbc once. it is this
5:37 pm
incredibly popular and family family programme, millions of euros every week, a jewel in the crown of the bbc entertainment offering, so these negative headlines have not been welcomed or particularly involving the behaviour of some of the professional dancers towards their celebrity, amateur contestants. to me professional dancers have left the show, so they have now gone, but the show, so they have now gone, but the headlines are still continuing. today, for example, a paradigm —— part olympian said he had no problems with his partner but said he was injured and that could have been avoided. so tim davie under pressure to say something about strictly come dancing in this briefing and said he was sorry to anyone who had an experience on the programme that was not holy supportive and professional and enjoyable. he also said they were obviously clearly learnings about oversight in training rooms, and they are now will be a member of production staff when they learning those dances, the celebrities and
5:38 pm
partners, and he also said that be assured we have the right safeguarding procedures and duty of care in place and there are competitive elements of the show and people enter because they want to win but it should not away the positive elements of the show, the fun and entertainment. he said he was looking forward to the series, the celebrity contestants will be announced soon, and no sedition that strictly come dancing will disappear off bbc news ——.i strictly come dancing will disappear off bbc news ---— off bbc news --. i say from that with this report, _ off bbc news --. i say from that with this report, just _ off bbc news --. i say from that with this report, just take - off bbc news --. i say from that with this report, just take me i off bbc news --. i say from that with this report, just take me to| with this report, just take me to the top lines on the top earners. figs the top lines on the top earners. is you said, gary lineker, for the seventh year in a row, the highest—paid bbc star, huw edwards, the former bbc news presenter, he had a increase of £40,000 on his pay even though he had not been on air sincejuly 2023. that even though he had not been on air since july 2023. that was even though he had not been on air sincejuly 2023. that was not since july 2023. that was not because he received a pay rise while on air, it is because tim davie said, increased responsibility and extra hours because of when he was

5:40 pm
there on the tarmac because in the next little while, we will seejoe biden leave it delaware and head back to washington to stop by wells is our correspondent and has been with the president for the last few days, and of course we had not seen joe biden forfive days, and of course we had not seen joe biden for five days. days, and of course we had not seen joe biden forfive days. we heard him yesterday in that call to the campaign headquarters where, the harris was, but we have not seen pictures ofjoe biden in five days, certainly since the dramatic announcement on sunday that he was pulling out of the presidential race, so this would be a moment where we glimpsejoe biden as he returns to washington. he has already said, posting on social media, that he would give a statement to the nation, addressing from the oval office, where he will talk about why she has exited the race and what happens now. he also has to meet the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who was there in washington, who addresses congress tomorrow. of course, joe
5:41 pm
biden was expected to have had that meeting tomorrow with regimen netanyahu, that has been postponed until thursday, so he heads back to an absolutely packed agenda in washington, but this would be a significant moments, seenjoe biden as he leaves delaware, and we expect that in the next little while. as soonest there is movement there, we will return to ione wells. here, the uk government has announced the bibby stockholm migrant barge will be closed. the facility has been used to house asylum seekers off the coast of dorset. extending the use of it would have cost more than £20—million next year. here's the the bbc�*sjoe pike with the latest on the decision on the bibby stockholm to be a fly on the wall of the home office in the past few weeks. a changing of the guard of course in terms of ministers but also a changing of the guard in policies. we have seen this rwanda scheme that civil servants put together over the last few years being ripped to pieces by the home secretary yvette cooper, and now a similarfate has befallen the bibby stockholm barge in dorset, too.
5:42 pm
now, the reason for the barge being used in the first place was about saving money on accommodation costs. between £7 million and £8 million a day was being spent on hotels to house migrants across the united kingdom, and it was thought by the then conservative government that this would be a more efficient and appropriate way to house some of those migrants. 500 migrants between the ages of 18 and 65 were to be housed. but this project was beset with problems, notjust safety concerns but legal challenges, and also legionella bacteria being found on board, leading to the 39 men on board at one stage being taken off that barge. it will continue to be used untiljanuary next year. the uk government say they will save £20 million a year by not extending that contract. the conservatives, of course, argue, where else do you house asylum seekers? james cleverly, who was the home secretary, now shadow home secretary, asks what cities are these asylum seekers going to be put in? and he argues that ripping apart
5:43 pm
rwanda but also bibby stockholm could lead to tens of thousands of migrants, in addition, coming to this country. really briefly, exactly on that point, rwanda gone, the bibby stockholm gone, or shortly, at what stage is the government really specific about what their plan is? their plan is to stop the gangs and the plan is to appoint a new sort of border tsar. they want to cut the cost of the immigration system by £7.7 billion over the next decade, but ultimately you and i and the viewers know that it will be ultimately in terms of the numbers of people coming to this country, that will be what the government will be judged on at the next election. a police officer has been stabbed in the chest at frankland prison, in durham. the victim is said to be "conscious and talking" in hospital. durham police say the officer, who is from another force, was attacked in the morning, while visiting the prison.

5:46 pm
that picture there. as soon as we receive movement we will return to our correspondent and talk to them there, asjoe biden returns back to washington. at least two million women and girls in england and wales are victims of violence every year, according to police chiefs. they say that 3,000 of these crimes are recorded every day, but the figures don't show the true scale of the issue — as many victims are too frightened to come forward. our senior uk correspondent sima kotecha reports. stalking, child sexual abuse, domestic violence, sexual violence — some of the key threats facing women and girls, according to an alarming report by the national police chiefs' council. it outlines the scale of violence, calling the problem a national emergency. it says more than a million violent crimes against women and girls were recorded over the last year in england and wales, accounting for 20% of all crimes recorded by the police. that's a 37% increase
5:47 pm
from 2018 to 2023. some of that rise will be down to an increase in reporting and more awareness of these crimes. nobody in industry and in other sectors and across the public understand just the scale and impact of these crimes. so what we're putting out today is just the scale — one in 12 victims, one in 20 perpetrators, a significant growth in domestic abuse, in rape. and we're really pleased that women and girls are coming forward to report. but at the same time, we just need to set out from our policing judgment, just the scale of this epidemic. the npcc says it's creating a centralised hub which will support forces by providing specialist knowledge and training. the government says it welcomes the hub and aims to halve violence against women and girls over the next decade. it's likely those affected by these crimes willjudge whether enough is being done to make sure others don't go through what they have.
5:48 pm
sima kotecha, bbc news. the radical preacher anjem choudary has been found guilty of directing a group banned under uk terror laws and encouraging support for it online. he was convicted after a trial at woolwich crown. he's due to be sentenced next week. our home and legal correspondent dominic casciani has the latest. the name anjem choudary and a very, very familiar face to people of a certain generation. i'm talking people of my kind of age, but for younger people, they may have no idea who he is. but for 25 years, anjem choudary and his supporters have been at the heart of terrorist recruitment in the uk for jihadist ideology. so when lastjuly, police smashed down his door to arrest him in quite extraordinary scenes in east london, they had to be pretty sure they finally had evidence to land him. that was evidence that he was trying to recruit online transatlantic within the united states through secret meetings.
5:49 pm
let's hear now from commander dominic murphy, the head of counter—terrorism at scotland yard. so, anjem choudary has a long history of radicalising individuals here in the uk, and now we know overseas. so this verdict is really significant for public safety. it means that an individual who's had such a significant impact on vulnerable and younger people in radicalising them towards terrorism, is now in custody. now, anjem choudary�*s key offence here was directing a group that was already banned. this isn't about bombs. he wasn't a bomb maker, but he was someone whose words were used to encourage people to carry out violence, eitherabroad, laying down their lives in syria and iraq and other places, or to commit murder here on the streets of the uk. this is a really important win for counter—terrorism officials here in the uk. they've fought for years to get this man down. and when he comes back to court in about a week's time, he faces a potential life sentence. but after that, the question is if he's injail,
5:50 pm
who could follow him and where does the threat go from here? onjuly the fourth nigel farage was voted in as mp for clacton—on—sea. he's been giving his maiden speech there — focusing largely on immigration — which has been at the forefront of the reform uk campaign. it was his eighth attempt at entering the house of commons. let's take a look. on illegal immigration but i want to make a point. four years ago i went out into the english channel repeatedly, filming dinghies coming across the channel. dinghies with an average of 16 people per boat. i was described as being a sad, lonely, desperate figure. always seeking attention. and i have no doubt there are some that think that still the case today will stop. thank you. but
5:51 pm
i did it because it was obvious to me what was going to happen. it was obvious that there would be a huge influx of people illegally coming to prison across the english channel, and it would happen because we had stopped deporting people who came to britain illegally. higei stopped deporting people who came to britain illegally.— britain illegally. nigel farage s-ueakin britain illegally. nigel farage speaking in _ britain illegally. nigel farage speaking in parliament - britain illegally. nigel farage| speaking in parliament earlier britain illegally. nigel farage i speaking in parliament earlier in the day. as the summer school holidays begin in england, the government has set out plans to limit the number of branded items of uniform — in an attempt to bring down costs. currently, teachers are told to keep such items to a minimum but soon there will be a specific limit, and for many schools, that will mean scrapping branded pe kits. let's speak to carl cullinane, director of research and policy at the sutton trust. welcome to the programme. just give me an idea, first of all, the hardship that exist for many

5:54 pm
social segregation you see in the school system, whereby the top—performing schools have fewer disadvantage schools —— pupils that live in their area because families from low income backgrounds considered these financial implications when they're choosing which school that they go to, and this is contributing to that social segregation that we see. if you are re—school meal eligible student, you're less likely to go to high—performing school even endeavours one in your area. interesting that it even impacts this choice of school. dimension costs, butjust for your this choice of school. dimension costs, but just for your spurs this choice of school. dimension costs, butjust for your spurs —— viewers benefit were perhaps unaware, which are the amounts at an average family is expected to spend on branded school uniforms? research shows it's on branded school uniforms? research shows its the — on branded school uniforms? research shows it's the average _ on branded school uniforms? research shows it's the average is _ on branded school uniforms? research shows it's the average is around - shows its the average is around £420 per year, for a secondary people and close to 304 primary, and these are averages, and so for many families it is more than that, which
5:55 pm
are significant amounts of money and we have reports of parents see their foregoing these were other costs in order to pay for the uniforms and family finances have been so strained over the last two years, we really need to do what we can to relieve the pressure on parents. interesting to talk to you, an important story, i'm glad we squeezed onto the programme, thank you for your time. this quickly time to show you the pictures from delaware because in the next little while, joe biden was moved from delaware, whereas men hold for the last five to seven days, and head back to washington, first glimpse of him since the dramatic announcement on sunday. stay with us on bbc news. hello there. the weather through the rest of the week is looking a little bit mixed, but today, there was some warm sunshine for most of us. some of the best weather was to be found in western parts of scotland. lovely weather watcher picture that. and also across northern ireland, where we had blue skies through much of the day. but these areas may not do quite
5:56 pm
so well in the next few days. there is more cloud coming in from the atlantic that will push its way steadily eastwards — maybe bring a little rain. ahead of that though, arriving, any showers that are formed across eastern areas won't last long at all, and the cloud will come and go a bit overnight. it should be dry overnight, the winds will be light, and those temperatures by the end of the night, typically 11 or 12 degrees. now there is more cloud coming in from the atlantic tomorrow. there will be some sunshine at times, could be a little bit hazy, mind you, and across some eastern areas we may well find one or two showers breaking out as well. but it's towards the west where we've got the cloud thickening in northern ireland, later westernmost parts of scotland, wales and the southwest, where we'll see damp weather moving in as well. and so for these areas in the west, temperatures are going to be a little bit lower on wednesday. further east, it will be warmer. could reach 26 degrees in the south east of england — depends how much sunshine there's going to be. but as we head into thursday, it's cloudy skies that will dominate a tangle of weather fronts across the uk. rather messy sort of picture. cloudy skies, a bit of rain
5:57 pm
from time—to—time here and there, particularly in the west. there's a risk of some heavy rain pushing its way eastwards across southern parts of england, especially into the afternoon, but further north across eastern england and eastern scotland, they may well be dry, and temperatures here reaching the low 20s at best on thursday. things are a bit more straightforward by the end of the week, because these weather fronts are going to move away, taking rain away from overnight. the rain still not far away from the south east of england through much of friday, but otherwise we'll see some sunny spells. there will be a few showers breaking out, and these are most likely where the winds are a bit stronger in northern ireland and across scotland — some of those showers could be a little on the sharp side. temperatures are back down to 18 degrees in glasgow, and a high of 23 celsius in the south east of england. but what of the weekend? well, saturday we'll see some sunshine. some showers for the northern half of the uk. should be drier though on sunday, and in some sunshine, maybe a bit warmer as well.
5:58 pm
