5:38 pm
plenty more for people to watch today. let's return now to our top story. the unrest in the uk. the heat was fuelled by the disinformation falsely calling the attacker and the southport incident attacker and the southport incident a muslim migrant with some of the first messages about this link to russia. our reporter has more. the fake name of the southport attacker first appeared on this website. it goes into two international outlets brought us on the telegraph. the name was... since then the article had been deleted but it is possible to find it using a simple tool called a way back machine so here it is pulled out from the archive. the article reads... they claim he was a asylum seeker
5:39 pm
coming to the uk by boat last year. if you zoom in, it is possible to see the date and time when the article was published on the evening of the attack at 702. we will come back to this time later. when the news was debunked, the media issued an apology signed by the deer but look closer. the name of the editor is not specified. there are also no contact details on the website and it is not clear where it is registered. the telegraph found russian links to the website and said 12 years ago, it was publishing the videos in russia. here it is on the videos in russia. here it is on the map. around 900 km from moscow. since then the videos were deleted, it's not possible to find them any more, but remember the time. when the article was published. around the article was published. around the cv meeting —— same evening a number of russian news channels publish the news but the children
5:40 pm
attacked in the uk and they said it was a refugee from syria who was shouting. the telegram channel is named russian now. and of a telegram channel which is called putin in telegram publish the save —— same news items are there and another group with the headline in the muslim killed christian children. while here they named the attacker, the same name shared by the channel three now website and they also mentioned he was screaming. even after the news was debunked, russian state owned media continued to spread misinformation. they still call the attacker eric migrant. this headline reads... going even further speculating whether it could lead to
5:41 pm
a civil war in the uk. a day after the prime minister of bangladesh — sheikh hasina — was dramatically forced from power, the parliament has now been dissolved. student protesters had set a deadline for the dissolution. they want a new interim government, to be led by nobel prize winner mohammed yunis. meanwhile, leading opposition figure and former prime minister khaleda zia has been released from prison. she was jailed six years ago on corruption charges that critics say were false. lawyers for the family of two men at the centre of an incident at manchester airport, say an officer took one of them to an area out of view of security cameras and threw him face down to the floor and put his knee on the back of his neck. some viewers might find the pictures in the upcoming video distressing. this video which a police officer could be seen kicking one in the head and hitting the other with a taser surfaced online last month, and led to protests in rochdale and manchester. the family of the men held a news conference earlier and their lawyer said the police must be
5:42 pm
held to account. the family wish to put on record that if the two young men sat next to me and seen on video and stand accused of criminality, their family fully support that they must face robust, due legal process. but the family also wish to state that they know more than many other families, that the police play a crucial role in our society and police with the consent of the people. and that is precisely why when they get it so badly wrong, they must be held to account. greater manchester police hasn't responded to the allegations in that news conference. our reporter phil mccann is in manchester — and has been outlining what else the family have been saying. there was the video you showed there which went viral which was filmed by
5:43 pm
a passer—by and you can see an armed police officer and in the latter part of last month kicking at a man who was lying on the ground in the face and stamping on his head and his brother you can see later on was hit in the back of the head by an officer with a taser. then the manchester evening news some days later obtained cctv footage, showing the two brothers repeatedly punching police officers were clearly trying to apprehend them. most police officers were all knocked to the ground. in this press conference was held today this hotel in manchester today, it was an attempt by the family of those two brothers to add some extra context because they are concerned, their suspicion was that extra cctv was released by greater manchester police was released to change the narratives of the police looked better because they were giving all sorts of criticism of the first video so there were in fact protest outside the police station
5:44 pm
where the two men are from, protests here in manchester as well. so the family really felt it was time to put their site across and they were concerned about for the release of the footage could prejudice the ongoing investigations to this on the police officers is facing a criminal investigation by the criminal investigation by the criminal watchdog and it is reviewing all of the actions there and greater manchester police has its own investigation into what is going on. a british man kept as a slave for almost 26 years has won a record legal pay out, after his family sued the government for "denying him adequate compensation", in what was one of the uk's biggest cases of modern day slavery. the man was held on a traveller site with 17 other vulnerable men, forced to work for little or no pay, fed on scraps and beaten by their captors. our correspondent linsey smith's report contains details you may find upsetting. in one of the biggest investigations into modern—day slavery...
5:45 pm
abusing their vulnerable victims... his family had given him up for dead. it was a story that made headlines around the world. 18 vulnerable men rescued from this lincolnshire traveller site. they had been kept in squalor by the rooney family. one, a homeless man picked up in hull, was even made to dig his own grave. today's sentences reflect the level of exploitation, control and violence that exhibited. it's seven years since the rooneys wept in court as their family were sent to prison. but only now has the victim's sister finally won what she says is adequate compensation for him. it has taken as long to get his compensation as the rooneys have spent in prison. and that's quite something, isn't it? i only wish the money could fix him, but it won't.
5:46 pm
the family would only tell their story anonymously. they are still fearful of the rooneys. my brother needs care round the clock. he was hit over the head with a jcb bucket, i believe, and this has caused him to develop brain atrophy. what we got back was definitely not the man that left us. it is clear from police footage of his rescue that the victim's suffering was mental as well as physical. he was forced to live in this caravan in squalor and filth, condition is not fit for human habitation. this is where they would lay their heads after a day working on driveways. the victim was held with 17 other vulnerable men. some of them seen here posing with one of the rooneys. 15 of them have died since their rescue. and families like the rooneys can make millions off them, living lives of luxury, wearing rolexes and holidaying abroad. whereas lawyers say, once rescued, victims often walk away homeless and penniless.
5:47 pm
sadly, i've had four clients die in the time it takes to get legal aid in place and actually make an application to seeker. the seeker system is simply not fit for purpose. compensation is essential to rebuilding lives and closing that door on exploitation. it is incredibly unfair that victims of trafficking are not obtaining compensation. this solicitor represented the victim for free. our sense is that this may be the highest amount of compensation paid out to a modern slavery survivor under the scheme. we hope that it will be a really important and significant decision for other survivors to be able to use. a government spokesperson says this is an awful crime and they say thoughts remained with the affected individuals saying they have paid out a to victims in the last year to help brave survivors move on with their lives. we understand they don't make specific provisions for victims of modern—day slavery. campaigners say they needs to change. eluned morgan has become the new first minister of wales, following a vote in the welsh parliament. following vaughan gething's resignation, the senedd was recalled from its summer break to nominate her. have a listen to what she had to say. it's the greatest honour of my life
5:48 pm
to stand before you today is the first women to become the first minister of wales. 25 years ago we witnessed... applause 25 years ago we witnessed the dawn of a new era with the burst of evolution. the stiff movement with the realisation of welsh ambition, a rekindling of our national spirit in the beginning of a journey towards greater self—determination within the united kingdom. the scottish qualifications authority has apologised to pupils who received blank exam results emails. it's estimated that around 7,000 students in scotland were affected by a technical problem, with some having to wait more than 90 minutes for their results. the head of the sqa has apologised and says
5:49 pm
the issues has been resolved. from the riots let's bring you a story of hope and reconciliation where religious leaders emerged from a mosque and liverpool to bring food and drink to people despite the unrest. and in mum at the mosque described what happened on bbc breakfast. the mosque is the oldest in the country established in over hundred 20 years ago they were radical writers who came to the mask and threw stones at the mosque and broke the windows in his response the day after back in the victorian times in the late 1800s he decided to open his doors and invite people in. and talk about things who decided to do the same. doing what we did outside _ decided to do the same. doing what we did outside was _ decided to do the same. doing what we did outside was only _ decided to do the same. doing what we did outside was only brave thing| we did outside was only brave thing because _ we did outside was only brave thing because it — we did outside was only brave thing because it is the mosque with supporters you had that sense of

5:51 pm
a lot of things that theyjust wanted to get off of their chests. and by the end of it, we were hugging. we were shaking hands. we were exchanging details, and they were saying that they would love to take us up on the offer of coming into the mosque at another time, where we can open our doors and start to speak to each other. it's august and in scotland's capital city, that means only one thing: it's time for edinburgh festival fringe. for the next three and a half weeks, artists from 58 countries are putting on more than 52,000 performances — from comedy to caberet, and music to magic. our reporter courtney bembridge is there. we are running out of time to bring you all of the brilliant acts here are more than 3000 performing across the month of august and i have got two different acts here now to try and fit them all in. the first is the stuff of fringe fairy tales this is robin a comedian and two years ago performs to an audience of one person. unbeknownst to him a reviewer was outside the show and hurt the person inside doing brilliantly and thought that person

5:56 pm
going to be a fairly quiet night on the weatherfront. so here's the earlier satellite picture. this is the weather front that brought the outbreaks of rain to east anglia and the south—east. but through the evening hours we'll see showers spreading into western parts of scotland, then a bit of a gap and then more showers through the early hours as we get closer to the centre of this low pressure, which is approaching the uk. but elsewhere it's mostly clear, particularly in the east central areas and further south, and whether you're in the north or the south, temperatures will be about the same early in the morning on wednesday between 10 and 13 celsius. so here's that low pressure with its cluster of showers sweeping across western and north—western scotland. showers also further south into northern england, northern ireland, some also around merseyside, and blustery winds further north. in fact, gusts could approach or exceed a0 miles an hour. further south, it scattered fair weather clouds. a decent breeze but pleasant enough — 23 in london, around 18 in glasgow. then on thursday, as one area of low pressure pulls away, the next one comes in. this is going to bring extensive layers of cloud initially to many
5:57 pm
western and south—western parts of the uk, so it starts off quite bright in the east. but then heavier rain will spread into north—western england, across northern ireland and eventually into parts of scotland. but it does look as though east anglia and the south—east could just about stay dry through most of the day and the far north of scotland, too. so that's thursday, how about end of the week? well, that low pressure pulls away. in its wake still, a weather front drapes across scotland, so that means thicker cloud and some showers, but also quite blustery weather. once again, a0 mile an hour winds. to the south of that it's going to be a breezy day, but a generally sunny day. and despite the wind, still up to about 25 degrees, i think in london and typically the low 20s further north. so that's the week. how about the weekend? after a fairly changeable week, it does look as though things gradually through the weekend could actually turn very warm across many parts of england. and there are signs that we could
