ai—year—old, roger hayward, to 30 months in prison for his part in violent disorder in blackpool earlier this month. you heard that thejudge did take into earlier this month. you heard that the judge did take into account the fact that hayward had pleaded guilty, admitting two counts of assaulting an emergency worker. he said he would receive credit for those guilty pleas was not he also said that he took into account his remorse and his personal circumstances. thejudge did outline how this, of course, happened after the stabbing to death of those three young girls in southport. inhibits remarks, he talked about how one cannot begin to imagine the grief and the despair experienced by the families of the three girls killed in southport. he said that people from all communities offered solidarity, but others, he said, such as you, chose to commit

mindless drunken thuggery. he said there was no political or ideological reason for taking part. during his sentencing, thejudge talked about how hayward was clearly in the lead from the video footage from the time of the incident in blackpool. the fact that he had been seen leading a large group down the promenade. thejudge said, you are beckoning them from the front. you beckoned the mob at one point to breach the police lines. he said, you were seen throwing punches, due kicked out at the officers, he said. he said, you wanted to create a serious, dangerous, violent incident. he said that people would be bubbled at and revolted for treating those events as a reason for mob violence. these are one of

many sentencing is in the past few weeks, following what happened in england and northern ireland after the stabbing in southport, where those three young girls were killed. we have got other sentencings that will be going on today, but that one was of the 41—year—old involved in that violent disorder that took place in blackpool. he had pleaded guilty, as we said, to that violent disorder, and assaulting those emergency workers. you may remember and got a sense from those comments from thejudge, the and got a sense from those comments from the judge, the scale of the incident that happened in blackpool. they were around 1000 people that were involved in that mob and, as we heard, thejudge believed that were involved in that mob and, as we heard, the judge believed that roger hayward was at the front of that, leading that mob, hence why he has been sentenced to 30 months in

prison. as i mentioned, we are getting a lot more updates from around the country today, and we have a special live page up and running right at the moment, which has all the details of the things there. sentenced two years and six months for assaulting an emergency worker. you can follow all of that on the bbc news website and app. now, we have been talking about the violence that has been taking place across england and northern ireland since those stabbing incidents in the area of southport. but it has been two weeks since sunderland was hit by violent disorder. parts of the wider trouble that was sparked by that. for and that was spread online about those southport stabbings. two weeks on, with shops boarded up and some buildings burned

sentenced for offences of violent disorder and assaulting an emergency worker in disorder earlier this month in blackpool. that following the stabbings in southport in which three young girls were killed. the judge said that haywood wanted to create what he called a serious violent incident. as we mentioned, throughout the past couple of weeks, a lot of people have been sentenced and charged. at least 365 people have been charged over the disorder, with about 90 sentences handed down. talking of charges, we have had a development in the last couple of hours, because a man, 32—year—old kieran usher, has been charged with the more serious offence of riot in the more serious offence of riot in the wake of the unrest. that follows a 15—year—old boy being charged with the same offence yesterday. rioting

is a charge which carries a maximum penalty of ten years in prison, which is double the maximum a violent disorder carries. a violent disorder is what most of the charges have been. indeed, today's sentencing was a violent disorder. you will remember the riots were sparked by that this information —— that this information. we also had a development in liverpool that i want to update you on. a39—year—old man has pleaded not guilty to encouraging murder and violent disorder between the 28th ofjuly and the 8th of august. andrew mcintyre of rufford entered a plea of not guilty to a third allegation of not guilty to a third allegation of possessing a bladed article, namely a folded pocket knife in

liverpool. those are the updates we have had on these cases. i want to bring in our home and legal correspondence. dominicjoins us now from the newsroom. there has been a lot going on. let's start with the case we were able to show on camera, which was roger haywood, jailed for 30 months. yes, he was accused of basically leading disorder in blackpool, leading disorder in blackpool, leading a mob into a shopping centre and causing alarm to people there, including security workers who tried to keep them out with a jd sports store. he admitted to micro—counts of assaulting an emergency worker. the court heard that he had to be physically restrained and pushed back because there were so much alarm and violence going on. the judge has given him 30 months, a pretty hefty sentence for violent

disorder and these assaults. he is one of many people appearing in court today. another one later this afternoon, john honey in hull. viewers may remember this case from earlier in the week, he has admitted to looting a lush cosmetics store in the city, but his sentencing was put back after the judge heard that he had allegedly been offering his autograph in prison. i think the judge wanted to hear more about that. we expect him to be sentenced later today. there are a lot of things going on. latest figures we have come people arrested so far. overall, 480 people charged with offences. some of those are serious offences, and about to 30 have been charged with violent disorder. there

are a good couple of hundred kind of starting to stack up in the crown courts to be sentenced, so this will take a long time to go through the courts. there is no sign of this stopping. if they are going to charge more people with rioting, as we are now seeing, i affect there to be an uptick in cases in the weeks to come. we be an uptick in cases in the weeks to come. ~ ., be an uptick in cases in the weeks to come. ~ . ., be an uptick in cases in the weeks to come. ~ . . , ., to come. we have had the first adult in encland to come. we have had the first adult in england charged _ to come. we have had the first adult in england charged with _ to come. we have had the first adult in england charged with riot. - in england charged with riot. explain the difference between the violent disorder and riot, and the difference in sentencing that someone can expect if they are convicted. it someone can expect if they are convicted-— convicted. it is pretty simple, actuall . convicted. it is pretty simple, actually. simply _ convicted. it is pretty simple, actually. simply it _ convicted. it is pretty simple, actually. simply it comes - convicted. it is pretty simple, l actually. simply it comes down convicted. it is pretty simple, - actually. simply it comes down to the size of the group and the amount of evidence that prosecutors have to assess from the police about someone's involvement. violent disorder is known as a rioting offence and to charge someone with rioting, the crown prosecution service has to show that they were part of a group of three or more with effectively a common purpose to go out and cause disorder. in essence what we have seen in the

last week or so is prosecutors in various places around the country where we had the riots going for the low hanging fruit, the people they could count in small groups and get them into court to get those cases processed. with rioting, it is a different situation, much more complicated, because in those cases you have to prove that someone was in a group of 12 or more with a common purpose. that means that prosecutors have had to look at evidence from police video cameras, eyewitness accounts, other independents video where it is available. they will have to prove that someone is part of a group of 12 to be charged with rioting. one person could say, i was not there rioting, i wasjust person could say, i was not there rioting, i was just witnessing. they have to prove that everyone within

the group was where with a common cause. what happens then is that the sentencing range goes up, violent disorder has a maximum of five years, up to a maximum of ten years for rioting, a much more serious offence. what we have seen so far on violent disorder is some very significant sentences being handed out. the first one i witnessed in liverpool last week, a man there got three years. given the maximum if five years, he gets a 30% discount for pleading guilty at the earliest opportunity. that shows how severe these punishments are. that means we can fully expect many of these cases to come down the pipeline. senior prosecutors are aiming to charge more rioting and given the mood in the courts, and judges wanting to be seen to be setting and example around the country, i dare say we will get some hefty sentences in the weeks to come. it is

will get some hefty sentences in the weeks to come-— weeks to come. it is interesting that peeple _ weeks to come. it is interesting that peeple are _ weeks to come. it is interesting that people are pleading - weeks to come. it is interesting that people are pleading guiltyl that people are pleading guilty because there is video evidence. we also had andrew mcintyre pleading not guilty today. the prosecuting chris taylor suggesting to the judge that mcintyre was the administrator of an online group. we are seeing the other prosecutions going through relating to social media. we the other prosecutions going through relating to social media.— relating to social media. we are, and some _ relating to social media. we are, and some of— relating to social media. we are, and some of these _ relating to social media. we are, and some of these cases - relating to social media. we are, and some of these cases will - relating to social media. we are, | and some of these cases will take longer to process and get through court because, quite simply, there has to be a lot more evidence gathering from social media. that becomes particularly complicated if someone is using a full name. mr mcintyre has pleaded not guilty, so they will have to find a trial date for him in the future. that then raises questions about the already existing chronic backlogs in the crown courts in england and wales, but where these cases are going to be fitted in. if they are going to prioritise these cases, that means other cases will have to be moved back down the line and put further

back, which will raise concerns for victims of crimes where some people may have been waiting for three or four years because of the backlogs. it will be interesting to see how this will be handled. the offence that mr mcintyre faces, encouraging murder, it's one of the most serious we have seen so far. a completely different step up from violent disorder or from different step up from violent disorder orfrom riot. but he is saying he is not guilty, so we will have to see where that goes when comes to trial. has have to see where that goes when comes to trial.— have to see where that goes when comes to trial. as always, thank you for our comes to trial. as always, thank you for your insight. _ for your insight. we will continue to look at the issues around the violence because it has been 12 days since a hotel in rotherham, which was housing asylum seekers, became the focus of violent

20 minutes or so about people being sentenced and the impact of the southport stabbings. i just want to bring you an update on one of the adults that went to try and protect the little girls that were at that taylor swift themed dance event. it is a yoga teacher. she has been readmitted to hospital, herfamily have said. she is 35—year—old leanne lucas, seen here. she was one of the organisers of that dance class when the attack happened last month, leaving those three young girls dead. at the time, she was in a critical condition in hospital. she underwent life—saving surgery, but then was allowed to go home. a friend has written on a go fund me page that she has had problems with her breathing. she is back in

compensation that will be paid to victims of the infected blood scandal have been set out by the government. there will be payouts for people infected by contaminated products and those affected, because it happened to a relative. around 30,000 people were given blood containing viruses like hepatitis and hiv over a period of more than 20 years. our health editor reports. they'd called for years for truth and justice, and campaigners who gathered in may to mark the publication of the public inquiry report felt that had been delivered. it said the scale of the scandal was horrifying and that doctors, the nhs and government had repeatedly failed patients. today, more details of the final compensation package have been published. payments to those infected will start by the end of this year and to those affected, including families, some time next year. existing support schemes will continue, as well as compensation.

about 3,000 people so far have been in touch with the official body running the scheme, but it's not clear how many will claim. no amount of money can make up for those people who suffered so much during their lives, nor can it make up for a lost partner, lost child in some cases, a lost a parent, a lost sibling. i do hope today will be seen as a step on the journey to justice. the plan's been broadly welcomed by campaigners but some groups are disappointed. pupils at the treloar�*s school in hampshire, which had a unit to care for haemophiliacs, was subject to high—risk treatments for medical research. they'll receive £15,000 extra as well as compensation, but they say that's not nearly enough. i think the £15,000 proposed award is both derogatory and insulting — not only to the children that are still alive, the young adults that died, but also their families. and those infected with hepatitis c,

or who lost loved ones are unhappy because their maximum compensation would is about half that potentially available to hiv victims. infected is infected, dead is dead, we all had the same blood. some of us have got cirrhosis of the liver and two hepatitis c victims are dying every week. ministers say they've taken the advice of experts and followed recommendations by the head of the compensation authority but campaigners will continue to scrutinise and sometimes challenge the detail. the police say the investigation is not linked to the recent disorder in england and northern ireland. our

correspondent was at the hearing. update us on what was said. what we saw were two teenagers in court today, charged with a range of what the police have described as extremely serious charges. 18—year—old rex clark from east london faces a range of charges relating to the preparation of terrorist attacks, including trying to construct an explosive device, making and testing petrol bombs, and attempting to acquire a firearm. 19—year—old sofia is charged with attempting to assist rex clark and also acquiring from the internet some extreme right—wing ideology, in particular downloading what is called the nlm terror guide, standing for no light matter, and extreme right—wing group. both teenagers were remanded in custody and will appear

one was treated here and the other two were taken to hospital. after two weeks, they were discharged. a week later, my wife was infected. now, a case of the more dangerous strain of mpox has been recorded in sweden. the authorities say the person became infected during a stay in an area of africa where there is currently a major outbreak. it is very probable that we will see more cases in europe in the close time. so, it's important for all countries to be aware that this can happen. there have been 450 deaths in the democratic republic of congo following an outbreak of the new strain. it's also been detected in neighbouring countries including the central african republic, uganda, kenya, rwanda and burundi. doctor meera chand from the uk health security agency said... "the risks to the uk population is currently considered low. however, planning is under way

to prepare for any cases that we might see in the uk. this includes ensuring that clinicians are aware and able to recognise cases properly. outbreaks can be controlled by preventing infections with vaccines. the uk government says it has stockpiles as part of its preparedness plans. the world health organization says a co—ordinated international response is now vital. simon jones, bbc news. five people in the us have been charged with the drug—related death of the star of friends, matthew perry. the 54—year—old actor was found dead in a hot tub at his los angeles home last year. he had taken ketamine. those charged include the actor's former personal assistant, two doctors who are accused of supplying the star with the drug, to fans, matthew perry, best known as chandler bing was the funny character from friends who made no secret of his flaws. he struggled

andre mariner who would referee 20 matches a season, those matches have to be covered by inexperienced referees. i have seen some very good young referees but they make mistakes, it is finding that balance because the high level of intervention of var was so high in the premier league, they were putting right referees mistakes. despite calls he called insanely fast, jack draper stage an impressive fightback to reach the third round of the cincinnati open. he needed a medical timeout in the first match and lost the opening set the world number 11 but he recovered to take the deciding sets before rain arrived preventing him from knowing who his next opponent will be. emily campbell has won two

hundreds of millions of years ago. each layer of this rock face in the garvellachs captures a snapshot of the planet's distant past. scientists have now dated fragments of the rock, and shown them to be from the only place in the world to have a detailed record of how our planet plunged into the most severe and prolonged ice age in our history. these tiny grains prove beyond any doubt that the garvellachs are the best and most complete record of a critical period in our history called snowball earth — when, for 80 million years, pretty much the entire planet was covered with ice. if we wind back the calendar hundreds of millions of years, we see that scotland was in a completely different place, because the continents have moved over time. it was south of the earth's equator, and had a tropical climate until it, and the rest of the planet,

became engulfed in ice. but then, something remarkable happened. after the melting of the snowball, we suddenly start to get bona fide modern—looking animals. it seems counter—intuitive that such a big freeze that could have prevented life was actually the spur to generate this explosion of life. after the snowball melted, of course, everything that had adapted to that and diversified in those specialist niches would have had to then compete with each other in some kind of arms race. geologists have been studying the rocks on the garvellachs for decades — first on foot, using the only building on the island as a base, and more recently, using drones to create detailed computer—enhanced images of the rock layers. if the results are confirmed, these islands could be awarded a golden spike — that's an actual spike hammered in — to celebrate the location of

a planet—changing geological moment. scotland can get the golden spike. the chance is very high, based on the garvellach formation, presented, a great example — excellent example of the potential candidate of the golden spike. the researchers will find out next year whether they — and scotland — have won the golden spike. pallab ghosh, bbc news. fascinating story. a rarely seen deep sea fish has been found in california and scientists want to know why. the silvery 6.3 metre long fish which looks a bit like a serpent was found floating dead on the ocean off the san diego coast. it is only the 20th time that that type of fish has been known to

worship in california since 1901. experts are studying the fish to understand why it came to the surface when it normally lives in the deep part of the ocean where light cannot reach. imagine being in the sea and seeing that pop up. let's take a look at the weather. hello there. we're moving into a quieter couple of days of weather, which is good news because the weekend is just around the corner. there'll be one or two showers coming into northwestern areas, but on the whole it's going to be a dry weekend for us with some sunshine at times, and we're seeing more sunshine across the southern half of the uk today. and it's not as windy here as it was yesterday. we saw this weather front take cloud and rain southwards overnight. if we look to the north, more weather fronts arriving. the winds are picking up and this is where we're seeing more cloud and a few showers as well. and that's going to limit the temperatures in the north west of scotland. highest temperatures again reaching the mid 20s across southeastern parts of england. it's windy in the north west of scotland into the evening as well, but the winds do ease down

a bit overnight and the showers that we've got here do become fewer, and for many places it's going to turn dry with some clearer skies. quite a bit cooler than it was last night across southern parts of the uk. could be as low as 7 or 8 degrees here. it won't be as cold as last night, though, in the north east of scotland. starting tomorrow with some sunshine for many of us, we will tend to find the cloud building up a little bit like today, brings the risk of1 or 2 showers into northern and western scotland, northern ireland, perhaps into the northwest of england. the sunnier skies lingering in east anglia in the southeast. and that's where we'll get the highest temperatures again. but it could be quite warm in the sunshine in the northeast of scotland. now through the weekend, we've got high pressure over towards the azores, low pressure up towards iceland. and it leaves us with this run of westerly winds. the winds could be a little bit stronger during the second half of the weekend, particularly for southern areas. but again, we'll find after a sunny start, clouds will build up a little bit. brings the risk of1 or 2 showers, mainly in the north west of scotland, and there'll be some

spells of sunshine around as well. and those temperatures not changing too much, perhaps 18—19 at best for scotland and northern ireland. highs of the mid 20s again in the southeast of england. as we head into monday, the weather starts to change a bit, particularly in western areas. pressure is going to be falling here. there are some weather fronts to come in from the atlantic, but we're going to start dry and sunny in most areas on monday morning. it's out to the west where the winds pick up, especially in the southwest and through the irish sea. the cloud moves in and we get some rain and it gets wet in northern ireland and western scotland during the afternoon. but ahead of that, the midlands and eastern england should have a dry and quite warm day with some sunshine.
