good evening, and welcome to bbc news. 11 people from the same family have been convicted in a trial over modern day slavery in lincolnshire. it follows one of the biggest police investigations of its kind. members of the rooney family targeted vulnerable homeless people, keeping them in squalid conditions in caravans, with no running water or toilets, and using threats and violence, including punishment beatings, to keep them in line. victims were forced to work in the family's construction business, for little or no wages. our north of england correspondent, judith moritz, reports. fathers, sons, cousins across the generations, 11 members of one family, whose cruelty has spanned

the decades. the rooneys were the masters, this is where they kept their slaves. they were forced to live in these caravans in squalor and in filth, conditions not fit for human habitation. whilst those who controlled them lived in comfort and luxury. the rooneys had many victims, including this man, whose interview has been re—voiced to protect his identity. i've been on and off the streets for years, drugs and alcohol. i haven't seemed to be able to get settled. see, they've scarred me. sometimes i have flashbacks, and you know what i mean, nightmares and that. i'm always wary about them. patrick rooney was one of those posing as a respectable businessmen, laying driveways. but in reality, the family used slave labour, forcing vulnerable men to labour for little or no reward.

one customer, who has asked not to be identified, remembers how the workmen appeared. they weren't treated as civilised at all. they were treated as if they were subhumans. i was truly astonished. there was no machine to strip the old tarmac off, nothing. these guys did it all by hand. and it was extremely hard work for them, i'll give them that. they didn't stop. they didn't have any breaks, anything. all they got was we made them a few cups of tea, a few chocolate biscuits. they were delighted to get a cup of tea, because i knew and they knew they weren't going to get anything else. not for the day. in contrast, the family lived lavishly. this expensive funeral for one relative showing their wealth. in the local lincolnshire community, it didn't go unnoticed. the people they were preying on were the most vulnerable. they made a lot of money out

of them, and the stories i was hearing about big wodges of cash. bringing the 11 family members to book has taken several years. the police needed to win the trust of victims who were very vulnerable. they were dirty. they were thin. the clothes they were wearing were terrible. when we took them to the reception centre, one individual had to use an entire bottle of shampoo to make himself feel clean. to how they are now, in employment, going to college, they're reunited with their families. it's absolutely heart—warming and amazing to see the transformation. and it makes it all worthwhile. they preyed on the homeless and desperate, offering them shelter and work. but there was no dignity in this, only lives exploited and destroyed. judith moritz, bbc news, nottingham. president trump has stepped up the war of words with north korea, saying the us military is "locked and loaded," with plans in place, if pyongyang acts unwisely.

russia has now intervened in the deepening crisis, with foreign minister sergei lavrov calling on both sides to sign up to a plan, to de—escalate tensions. our north america correspondent, nick bryant, reports. after fire and fury comes "locked and loaded" — not the title of some hollywood summer blockbuster, but the words of america's commander in chief, to describe his country's state of military readiness. these are the latest pictures of b—i bombers stationed in guam, the motto of this squadron — "fight tonight." president trump reminded people of that on his twitterfeed this morning. he's deploying social media to ratchet up his rhetoric. "military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded, "should north korea act unwisely. "hopefully, kim jong—un will find another path. " and last night, there was another personal warning to the north korean leader. he has disrespected our country greatly.

he has said things that are horrific. and with me, he's not getting away with it. he got away with it for a long time between him and his family. he's not getting away with this. this is a whole new ball game. as the government of japan deployed missile interceptors to guard against north korean rockets, international leaders essentially told both sides to cool it. translation: i believe that i'm firmly convinced that an escalation of rhetoric will not contribute to a solution of this conflict. translation: when a fight has nearly broken out, the first step away from that dangerous threshold should be taken by the side that is stronger and smarter. amidst this verbal brinkmanship, it's emerged the trump administration has been secretly talking to north korea about americans in prison there, and deteriorating relations. the news came as america's defence secretary emphasised diplomacy. you can see the american effort is diplomatically lead, you can see the american effort

is diplomatically led, it has diplomatic traction, it is gaining diplomatic results. and i want to stay right there, right now. the tragedy of war is well enough known. it doesn't need another characterisation beyond the fact that it would be catastrophic. holiday—makers on guam, the island north korea has threatened with missiles, still seem unfazed. but amongst the beach reading this morning, a fact sheet from the guam government, warning not to look at fireballs. jane o'brien is our correspondent in washington. what reaction has there been to the words from germany and russia? no official reaction just yet, but donald trump is expected to meet his top security advisers and diplomatic team, including the un

ambassador and the secretary of state, rex tillerson. that is due later this evening, so we may have some kind of reaction after that. but either way, i think criticism is not likely to change the rhetoric. we have seen that already, donald trump issuing his fire and fury speech at the beginning of the week, which he was strongly criticised. he also said this morning, locked and loaded, and he believes his words have maybe not been tough enough. i do not think international criticism is good to have any more effect than domestic criticism. angela merkel says diplomacy is the only option. what appetite is the for some more positive incentives than the sanctions which are clearly negative? given the fact that donald trump said, we could all is negotiate. for negotiations to start, the us wants some kind of

gesture of more than goodwill from north korea. they want north korea to stop firing missiles, the ultimate aim of all this is to get north korea to give up its nuclear weapons. so far, kimjong and has shown no appetite for that. until there is a display of serious intent on the part of north korea to want to negotiate, then i think talks are unlikely. jane, thank you. joining me now is alison evans, senior asia—pacific analyst at ihs markit country risk. alison, thank you forjoining us. given that it is north korea that has been carrying out these missile tests, what is the perception of the threat that he may now be under?” think north korea's perception is that the threat is greater, due to

the unpredictability of the trump administration in the us, and as you mention, north korea has tested two intercontinental ballistic missiles injuly. but in response to that, the us also carried out an operational test of its three intercontinental ballistic missile isjust a intercontinental ballistic missile is just a week ago. how substantial, then,is is just a week ago. how substantial, then, is the threat to guam? north korea said a few days ago that they could land just several miles away. north korea actually said that by mid—august, it would have finalised this contingency plan to strike one with four missiles, but i still think it is unlikely that north korea would actually do that because to strike a us position like that would be almost certain to draw the us into war. what do you see happening in the neighbouring countries, particularly south korea,

but also japan? because they would be under the path of these missiles should the actually be launched. exactly, and i think the alliance between the us and japan and the us and south korea is really important here, not only does the us needs to be clear that it is not going to ta ke be clear that it is not going to take a pre—emptive attack on a north korea, which is what china and north korea, which is what china and north korea fear, but also that it is willing to defend its allies if necessary. and you mentioned missiles flying over the territory. in that case, radars injapan for example would pick up the missile, and be able to show that with the us. they could potentially strike the missile down with the defence systems. we keep hearing that china has the most influence over north korea. how is it using that influence, as far as you can tell? first of all, china's influence over north korea has waned somewhat since

kimjong—un north korea has waned somewhat since kim jong—un became the supreme leader there in december 20 11. for example, he executed his uncle, who had strong ties with china, and who was a businessman in china. but there are still relations between china and north korea, particularly trade relations, and that is something that china could use to try to put pressure on north korea. however, i think it is important that china has reiterated its position today in the state run global times, it stated that if north korea fired first, it would stay neutral, which is a clear message to north korea not to be true to provocative. they also said that if the us where to move first for regime change in north korea, china would intervene. alison, thank you forjoining us. the steel company tata has been given the go—ahead to separate its uk pension scheme, from the rest of the business,

which will help tens of thousands of the firm's workers. staff voted earlier this year to accept less generous pensions, in return for investment to securejobs. the move is expected to clear the way for a possible merger with a rival german company. our correspondent, wyre davies, reports now from port talbot. tata steel had warned for years that its uk business was under threat, and wanted to radically reduce pension benefits to workers, or face the prospect of having to close its port talbot plant. for months, employees who stood to lose thousands of pounds from their retirement plans have been meeting to review their options. all of a sudden, you come to the end of your working life, you have two years left. and you have got to work another seven years in order to get what you have worked for your entire life without any penalties, and they feel cheated. i've been there for 23 years, 24 years, and you think you're going to be secure when you're 60 or 65, and now they've taken that away from you.

the £15 billion british steel pension scheme is one of the uk's biggest. around 130,000 members will be affected and the new plan would see current owners tata paying £550 million into the restructured pension scheme. the scheme will also get a stake of one third of tata's uk business to help meet future pay—outs. workers who sign up to today's proposal will have lower annual increases. other options include transferring into a personal pension scheme, or they can stay with the old british steel scheme, which is backed by the pension protection fund, and that's the really controversial part, because that's normally only available to companies that have gone out of business. the pension protection fund is there to protect the members, not the companies themselves. so i think the issue that everyone has is, why should they be allowed to join the ppf when the liability is with tata steel worldwide,

which has plenty of cash, as we know? though this agreement does protect workers' pension plans, it also makes the company, tata steel, much more attractive to a potential takeover or merger. and with the german steel giant thyssenkrupp waiting in the wings, there will be renewed concerns about future job losses and even closures at some uk steel plants, including port talbot. the german firm says it wants to consolidate european steel—making, but industry experts say that port talbot is in a relatively strong position. i think the immediate future for workers at port tolbert is actually very good. port talbot has restored its competitiveness, it's been helped by the exchange rate of the pound against other currencies. port talbot has been synonymous with steel—making for 70 years. and although only one fifth of the once 20,000—strong workforce is still working here, today's deal on pensions should bring some relief.

our wales correspondent, tomos morgan, was outside the plant in port talbot earlier. they will take a cut to the pension deal, whether that is going into the new pension deal created, carry on with the new british steel pension scheme that will be underpinned by the pension protection fund. that will not be as good as the one they originally thought they would be in, whichever option they choose, but as i say, there will still be jobs here at least in the medium term. it also paves the way for a more likely merger between tata steel and thyssenkrupp. one of the sticking

points from that deal was the pension deficit that tata steel has, and the location for port talbot is particularly interesting, because some steel analysts say that if that merger did happen, there would be a trade off. one of the steelmakers in europe, of which there are three of these two companies come together. -- if these two companies come together. —— if these two companies come together. but others said that port talbot is any good position because of the car in britain. in the end, they have managed to save jobs, and that is the important thing, which is why the important thing, which is why the unions and workers went for the deal. the headlines on bbc news — 11 people from the same family have been convicted,

in a trial over modern day slavery. germany and russia urged the united states and north korea to dial down the rhetoric is donald trump says his military is locked and loaded. a new deal for tata steel — it'll safeguard jobs, but reduce pension benefits for thousands of workers. the workforce voted for the deal, but many say that they feel cheated. eggs from european poultry farms, containing traces of insecticide, have now been found in nearly 20 countries. they've been contaminated with the pesticide fipronil, which can damage the kidney, liver, and thyroid gland. the european commissioner for food safety is calling for high—level talks to tackle the problem, and has called for an end to countries blaming and shaming each other. here's our europe correspondent, damian grammaticas. the netherlands is europe's biggest producer of eggs, but now millions of chickens here might have to be slaughtered. anya visscher‘s farm has been given the all clear.

the pest control company that fumigates her barn didn't use the banned insecticide fipronil, but the damage to her industry has been done. the farmers trust the companies to come into your barn and do their stuff. there are many rules in the netherlands, so we are thinking it is ok. and the extent of the problem is spreading. where it started in the netherlands, belgium, germany and france, farms have had to be closed. fresh eggs and products made with eggs have been withdrawn from sale from the uk, ireland, poland, italy and romania, and others. in switzerland, even as far afiled as hong kong, there have been re—calls, too. all this shows is how interconnected our industrial food chains are today. belgian authorities said the first signs of a problem may

have emerged as long ago as november in the netherlands. there are difficult questions for european countries — why wasn't anything done sooner? the european commission has called for a meeting of member states to get to the bottom of the problem. the aim is to continuously improve the effectiveness of the eu system to deal with food fraud and food safety issues. fipronil is used to kill fleas in domestic pets and is not allowed on animals entering the food chain. the amounts discovered in eggs are not harmful to humans, but prosecutors said two people have been arrested for threatening public health. translation: they mixed this forbidden product with substances that come into contact with the food chain, and they did it for their own profit. they put health in danger and damaged confidence in food safety. that confidence in what we eat is safe may be taking time to be repaired. it will be months before each farm where fipronil was used can be declared safe again. for more, we'rejoined by food safety expert hugh pennington, a former advisor to the government.

journalists love to talk about food scandals. to what extent is this a scandal? it is truly a regulatory scandal. obviously, the systems that we have to deliver safe food are meant to stop this sort of thing happening. people are watching hen houses with the wrong substance, because even people who sub contract, they have to make sure that some contractors are doing the right thing, and there has to be a paper trail and all this kind of stuff. if there is fraud, someone is doing something illegally, that can be quite difficult, but even then, it is thejob be quite difficult, but even then, it is the job of the regulators to spot that and stop it, and it does seem spot that and stop it, and it does seem that this is a crisis in the sense that the problems have been going on a bit too long. if it happened last week, and we could have done something about it this week, that would be ok, in a sense, but this has been going wrong for months, but saw something has gone wrong with the regulatory system,

which is why the eu is to sort it out. for nearly 20 countries to be affected by this now, what should we draw from that about the supply chain of food these days in a globalised world? food chains have been globalised for a long time. we have been importing tea from india and so on for hundreds of years. so we have to accept that the food chain, food moves long distances, and that basically, each country has to make sure that what it is bringing in his safe. it relies on international systems, an international systems, an international food regulatory system, which is accepted by everybody, which was actually invented by nasa to make food safe pasture not a long time ago. and thatis pasture not a long time ago. and that is the sort of system we have a paper trilogy can find out what is going on, and you may be able to spot a bit of monkey business going on as well. —— a paper trail. clearly, the right kind of eyes have

not been watching here. different countries are passing the buck back and forwards at the moment. what are the penalties if someone is found to be at fault? it depends what they did wrong, in a sense. if they are just telling lies and so on, whether you go to prison or get fined, you should be banned from engaging in the sort of practices. it sounds as though it is the companies who have been providing the cleaning regimes. if that is the case, maybe they should be closed down. what about theissue should be closed down. what about the issue of the public health risk here? we are told that this can be a very dangerous pesticide, but only in high doses. we are not going to be made ill from these eggss, so why have so many eggs been taken off the shelves, certainly the products that they are made from? you do not want

to put the public to any risk, and here you can do something about it. the public knows that has been a problem. you can do something about it by just dumping problem. you can do something about it byjust dumping the x essentially, and also colin back any products made from suspect eggs i think the public would expect that, because we have two trusts the food at the supermarket is safe, the supermarkets have to do the same from the suppliers. if something has gone wrong along the line, action has to be taken, and seem to be taken, even if it costs money. professor commented to top two, thank you very much. —— good to talk to you. two passenger trains have collided in egypt, killing at least 36 people and injuring dozens more. one train was travelling from cairo and the other from port said when they hit head—on in the northern city of alexandria. it is not yet known what caused the two trains to collide. the former head of m15, lord evans, has warned that britain could face a terrorism threat for another 20 or 30 years.

in an interview with the bbc, jonathan evans also said that russia was likely to be trying to interfere in the uk's democracy. and he warned that the "internet of things," in which vehicles and domestic devices are all connected to the internet, will need to be made more secure to reduce emerging cyber threats. we are at least 20 years into this. my guess is that we will still be dealing with the long tail in another 20 years' time. i think this is genuinely a generational problem. i think that we are going to be facing 20 or 30 years of terrorist threats, and therefore we need, absolutely critically, to persevere. well, for analysis, we can talk to raffaello pantucci, director of international security studies at the royal united services institute in london. to what extent do you agree with lord eva ns' assessment to what extent do you agree with lord evans' assessment of the threat? sadly, i think

lord evans' assessment of the threat? sadly, ithink we lord evans' assessment of the threat? sadly, i think we are right, —— he is right. it is different to predict, but if we look at the history of terrorism, trends that we see at the moment, there is really... his assertion that it will go on for another generation or two is probably accurate. how much worse is probably accurate. how much worse is the terror threat now, in terms of the frequency of attacks, number of the frequency of attacks, number of groups that could be behind atrocities that are carried out?|j think we have to remember that terrorism comes in many different forms, and what we are looking at now, in terms of actual numbers of casualties, and you look and compare back to what was happening in europe in the 19705, the numbers are way down. at that time, groups like the ira and the problem of left and right—wing terrori5m, wa5 ira and the problem of left and right—wing terrori5m, was leading to lots of casualties the continent. now, what we see is relatively less.

at the same time, comparing this year to the past few years, there has been an uptick, and that is linked to what we are seeing around so—called islamic state. terrorism comes in lots of different shapes and forms, what we are looking at at the moment, a particular sort of ideology that has managed to diffuse the methodology of attack that is so basic and elemental that it means, get a knife, get a car, that will count as a terrorist act. and in that context, makes it very easy for anyone to decide to do this, and the ideology i5 anyone to decide to do this, and the ideology is so pervasive that it is easy for people to understand or feel like they are understanding what they are latching onto and dissipating within it. we are seeing a threat picture now that is more diffused in some ways, than the structured, hierarchical groups, being directed from far off places

to direct attacks against us, a very different threat picture to what we are seeing now, a different threat picture to what we are seeing now, a very different threat picture to what we are seeing now, a very diffused threat, random people popping up and doing what these horrible things, often with no direction, or if they have direction, it is through social media applications, talking to someone media applications, talking to someone in syria. it is a different unconjugated threat we are looking at now. to what extent is the fact that the internet seems to be a way for these groups to recruit or encourage people to act in a way that they have not in the past? from what lord evans says, that is known to bea what lord evans says, that is known to be a problem in the future, to. what lord evans says, that is known to be a problem in the future, tolj think it is, we have to be careful to understand what that means, because how... the internet in itself is not bad. people spreading ideas and directing people through it is dangerous. what we have to remember is that these days, the way we form relationships and the way we develop contacts with each other is often driven by social media applications. you can develop quite an intimate and intense relationship

with someone who is really far away, you have never actually met in person, you don't even really know what they look like, and yet what we are seeing with terrorism is that people are still willing, on the basis of these relationships, to conduct terrorist atrocities. that has really spun the picture in a different direction, and if we take that forward and to next 15, 20 yea rs, that forward and to next 15, 20 years, the relationships we form in this way will become more intense, and will develop in some way that i cannot quite visualise right now. the picture is good to get more concentrated, and the other aspect we have to remember is that at the moment, we are fixated on a violent islamist threat, but the reality is that terrorism means political violence, any political ideology, using violence as part of its cause. that comes in lots of different shapes and sizes will stop moving forwards, thinking that groups have a violent message that must be delivered to us all, that could

really be shooting us into a very different form of terrorism that we might end up finding ourselves confronting. one that would be very ha rd to confronting. one that would be very hard to counter. very briefly, what might be the ideology driving that terrorism in the future? that is difficult to predict, i remember the beginnings of an ebbing of al-qaeda backin beginnings of an ebbing of al-qaeda back in 2009, 2010, people started to look for other ideologies, such as violent environmentalists. i think we need to think beyond that, people trying to create a new, utopian nontechnical tomorrow, or some other extreme ideology that we cannot quite conceptualise. or it could be a return to the old, left or right struggle, that we dominated the picture in the 705 and 19805. thank you for your time. time now to take a look at the weather forecast with helen.

definitely cloudy with rain, the better weather should return, not wall—to—wall sunshine, not com pletely wall—to—wall sunshine, not completely dry but better. these are the weather fronts that have been working across the country today, behind them clear skies with showers to come. not a particularly cold night to night but tomorrow it could be close to freezing in some of the glens of scotland. it could be grey first thing with drizzle but that should clear and then sunny spells and a few passing showers which could be quite sharp but it should feel warmer than today because we have more showers and sunshine. after chilly start on sunday there could be mist and fog if you are travelling and apart from the odd shower in the north and this rain much later in the day it looks like a decent day. bye bye.

hello. this is bbc news. the headlines. 11 people from the same family have been convicted in the trial of a modern day slavery, victims kept in water described as truly shocking conditions. they were living in caravans that were dirty. they had no running water. many had to use the wood as a toilet. and some weere living in stable blocks with animals. president trump tweets that the us is "locked and loaded," ready to deal with north korea, if necessary. the russian foreign minister says there is a plan to deal with the crisis. a new deal for tata steel — it'll safeguard jobs, but reduce pension benefits for thousands of workers. three men are jailed after turning a

wiltshire former nuclear bunker into the largest cannabis factory in the south of england. there are three days of competition left at the world athletics championships and british athletics has just one gold medal, thanks to that remarkable run by sirmo farah. uk sport's target of between 6 and 8 medals now looks increasingly unachievable. our sports correspondent, olly foster, is at the london stadium. of course he is, on his perch! he has been there all week. who is the best hope tonight? you talk about mo farah, we've waited one week for another medal, that seems a long time ago, that was on the opening night, that brilliant 10,000 metres, mo farah goes tomorrow in the 5000 metres. we are keeping everything crossed for dina asher—smith. it's the last event on the track at ten

minutes to ten. she'll raise the roof in this great stadium if she can get close to the podium, can she get onto the podium in the 200 metres final. she looked very strong in her semifinal. the story is a wonderful one, go back five years, so wonderful one, go back five years, so many athletes have memories of london 2012 and what they achieved their and experience. experience, dina asher—smith, was carrying the kit, they call them the box carrier, following the athletes onto the track. guess who she followed onto the track as a teenager? jessica ennis hill, and super saturday. she was inspired by that experience. she was inspired by that experience. she was a very good world junior athlete, dina asher—smith. she is now britain's fastest sprinter and our lone representative in the final of the 200 metres. my word, it will be so tough, dafne schippers, who

won bronze in the 100 metresjust days ago, and the sprinter from the ivory coast will be in there, she got a silverfrom ivory coast will be in there, she got a silver from the 100 metres, ivory coast will be in there, she got a silverfrom the 100 metres, it will be really tough. but if this crowd can give dina asher—smith a bit of a lift, you never know. and my word the british team really need it! i'm sure that crowd is capable ofa it! i'm sure that crowd is capable of a whoompf! what else should we watch out for. we are keeping an eye on the long jump and the pit because it's the final of the women's long jump it's the final of the women's long jump and lorraine ugen, a medallist in the world indoors, maybe outdoors with this crowd and the competition she is facing in the final she is struggling. she's had two nojumps,

if she doesn't post decent mark on her third she'll be out and won't see it through. you only get six fulljumps see it through. you only get six full jumps if you see it through. you only get six fulljumps if you reach the cut—off and that's a really tough competition. the american world and olympic champion and also the russian neutral athlete is going here because she was operating outside russia, that blanket ban for russian athletes doesn't apply to her because her biological passport is all fine. so she competes, she has done very well but lorraine ugen, the british jumper, has done very well but lorraine ugen, the britishjumper, it's disappointing because she qualified third longest in herjump so even though it was terrible weather when they posted those marks, she is struggling at the moment in her final. and spectators are in good voice, they must have heard your!

olly foster, thank you. nearly two months after the grenfell tower fire, there's concern public donations aren't reaching survivors quickly enough. figures from the charity commission show that less than 15% of the money raised has so far been distributed, although the commission says that the early difficulties in identifying and contacting people who need help, are now being overcome. frankie mccamley reports. the response to the fire at grenfell tower was unprecedented. clothes, food and money was donated from all over the world, but with so many organisations collecting funds, the charity commission stepped in to help coordinate efforts with some of the biggest charities. but two months on, figures from the commission show only £2.5 million of the £18 million collected has been distributed to those affected. this whole country and beyond has donated a large amount of money to all

the victims of grenfell tower, yet on the ground there is nothing, these people ain't getting the revenue. grants were announced for residents including £20,000 for people who lost their homes when moving into a new one. another £20,000 to the next of kin of those who died in the fire, and £10,000 to people who spent a week or more in hospital. with less than 15% of some of these donations making it to those affected by the fire at grenfell tower, frustration is building and questions are being raised as to whether this system is actually working, and why it is taking so long for the money to make it to those who need it most. £2.6 million has flowed out of the funds so far, and also in the next phase charities wanted to engage with the survivors and the communities to understand their views and wishes for what they expected funds to be used for.

it comes as residents of a nearby estate in south—east london have been told they'll have to move out. cracks in the walls have been found so if there was a gas explosion the building could collapse. we are shocked. we feel angry, we feel very upset. and quite confused as well because we are not getting any further answers at the moment. i kind of expected it for a while, because we had doubts about the structural safety of the blocks, relating to gas as well, which was one of the issues apart from the fire, one of the safety issues. but i can't really take it in, really. i think we basically have to move. it is somewhere i have lived for 15 years. southwark council says it is doing all it can to help and is putting residents' safety first, but now there are concerns about the cost of

fixing buildings here and across the country. many now questioning who is going to foot an ever—growing bill. frankie mccamley, bbc news. three men have beenjailed, for running a cannabis factory inside a former nuclear bunker in wiltshire. one received 8 years, the other two were sentenced to five. all three admitted conspiracy to produce drugs, after several thousand cannabis plants with an estimated street value of £1m were seized. duncan kennedy reports. hidden beneath the wooded hills of wiltshire, even today, the bunker remains a secretive, subterranean world. its old antenna and air vents the only sign of its existence. but five metres below ground, this cold war sanctuary was transformed into a cannabis factory. this was where 4,000 cannabis plants were found, spread over two floors. the men behind it were martin fillery,

plamen nguyen and ross winter, who were jailed today for admitting conspiracy to produce the drug. police say using the nuclear bunker, once owned by the ministry of defence, meant the gang could exploit its secrecy, and security. this was a highly organised operation, and of course, the nuclear bunker provided that level of security, and covertness to avoid detection. this was the bunker as it was, a secret headquarters for regional government in the event of a nuclear war. 150 officials could survive here for up to a month. this was the canteen then. and when the police arrived. they found everything from a big—screen tv, to a fish tank. and all with the home comforts of an underground world, and the underworld could go to ground.

the gang even bypassed the mains meter, ripping off £650,000 worth of electricity. all to keep the cannabis growing, and drying around the clock. in fact, they thought this facility would provide them with the perfect cover for their illegal activities. why? first of all, you can't see it from the road. it's completely isolated, and the complex itself can be locked up. they managed to keep this place a secret for three years. a place built for a bygone era in global world tensions, it ended up as an industrial scale cannabis production line. but one now consigned, like the cold war itself, to history. duncan kennedy, bbc news, at chilmark in wiltshire. the wait may nearly be over for all of us who want to see a red—haired emoji on our mobile phones! unicode — the company that curates the emoji —

says redheads will be able to describe themselves in emoji form from june 2018 after the organisation's emoji subcommittee recommended 67 new characters. there'll also be new emojis for those with bald heads, curly hair and ‘silver foxes' will be represented with a white—haired emoji. let's talk to fred benenson a social media analyst and emoji expert, who self—published the first entirely emoji translation of a classic novel, emoji dick. we will talk about the novel in a moment, fred. why has it taken so long to get a redhead on the list? it probably has to do with the fact that there are not a lot of redheaded japanese people and the emoji comes from japan. it was about 1-2% of emoji comes from japan. it was about 1—2% of the population which is hundreds of millions of people but i think as emoji have become more mainstream and more prevalent in all

countries people are interested in diversifying its of it is more representative and it takes while to get a new emoji dick into the system so get a new emoji dick into the system soiam get a new emoji dick into the system so i am glad they doing it. we noticed, we thought we might have a red haired guest but a brunette is fine. tell us about the process. i'm fascinated by this subcommittee that decides what the rest of us gets to use. how does it work. unicode is a volunteer nonprofit organisation that comes up with everything from emoji to the normal characters used by operating systems to show simple letters like the letter a but it seems that showing matters is complicated and they ended up being responsible for emoji, there a subcommittee inside the body that listens to proposals and help decide

which new ones come into the system. will we end up with too many? right now it's like 50 or 60 every year, and there are hundreds to keep track of on your phone and it's getting overwhelming so i agree. of on your phone and it's getting overwhelming so i agreelj of on your phone and it's getting overwhelming so i agree. i think it can be expensive if you have your phone on the wrong setting. i must confess that i have never used and emoji andi confess that i have never used and emoji and i don't think i will. why do egg what am i missing out on. it's just a unique way to express yourselves, our lives are so full of text, it is used to write an abbreviation, but it is just two letters whereas an emoji dick has a bit more emotion. there's face there sometimes. if you want to be nonliteral it can be great. that is

why i like them. what's your most favourite one, is it possible to tell? friend of mine runs a website called emoji tracker which finds out which of the most popular ones on twitter, for while it wasjust which of the most popular ones on twitter, for while it was just a smiley face or maybe a heart that it has since switched to joy which is like laughing and crying with tears, iamso like laughing and crying with tears, i am so happy i am crying, i think thatis i am so happy i am crying, i think that is still the number one.|j i am so happy i am crying, i think that is still the number one. i get sent that one a lot, i don't know whether to be pleased or not. i must ask about your translation of i assume it is moby dick into emoji dick? can anyone read it irrespective of the language that they speak? i included the english side by side. so you can see what a

normal sentence would look like. it is not really readable in emoji dick form, i wanted to show the limitations on creating an entire novel in emoji dick. other artists have done better jobs novel in emoji dick. other artists have done betterjobs but it was more like an experiment of this think thatjust more like an experiment of this think that just showed up more like an experiment of this think thatjust showed up on my phone, it turns out that, i did that in 2009-2010 and phone, it turns out that, i did that in 2009—2010 and emoji kept getting bigger so people are still talking about it. i kind ofjust did it as a fun weird project rather than a literal translation of moby dick into emoji. and what is the plural of emoji? i think it's emoji! like sheep and fish. i am sure there is

emoji dicks for both. it's been fascinating, fred, thank you for talking to us. thank you for having me on here. i find standard punctuation and straightforward english is adequate. the headlines. 11 people from the same family have been convicted in a trial of a modern day slavery. donald trump says the united states is "locked donald trump says the united states is " locked and donald trump says the united states is "locked and loaded" when it comes to the north korea crisis. germany and russia urged both sides to dial down the rhetoric. regulators approve the move to secure the pensions of tens of thousands of tata steel workers, the workforce voted for the deal but many say they feel cheated. an update on the markets, some of the markets into a heavy losses as the stand—off between america and north korea

point where we are getting writes co nsta ntly point where we are getting writes constantly outside the house, disgusting and my mother is locking the cat flap. councillor deirdre olden is seeing photos of the impact of 43 days of industrial action. she wonders why the labour leaderjohn clancy hasn't addressed the problem. i'd say come out, put your head above the parapet, talk to people, be prepared to listen to their complaints and be prepared to do something about it. until late this morning the council said positive negotiations were ongoing. but then at lunch time things stepped up a gear as unite said it would ballot its members on whether they want to carry on with action past september 23, possibly until christmas. my members are resolved to continue this for as long as they have to. they don't wa nt long as they have to. they don't want to. they want a resolution, they want to clear the streets, they and theirfriends

they want to clear the streets, they and their friends and families are residents of the city. they want to resolve this dispute. liverpool we're very disappointed, we've been informed of the proposal to ballot on that proposal, we still in discussion. council say they have cleared more than three quarters of the city with agency staff but with action stepping up and binmen splitting their daily three hour stoppage in two hour—long strikes the pressure is on. how much can a striking bin collected do in a day, realistically. if you clock on and succes m and spent 20 minutes preparing the lorry and doing safety checks you are then on the road soon turning around to come back for strike action between seven and eight. add a 15 minute coffee break at nine o'clock which gives you just over one hour to work it for the second hour of strike action between 1030 and 1130, half an hourfor lunch from 12 to 1230 and strike action between 130 and 230. no wonder some binmen tell me they

clear just one road wonder some binmen tell me they clearjust one road today. sarah bishop, bbc midlands today, birmingham. air passengers were most likely to be delayed over the last two summers if they flew from gatwick airport or with easyjet. data from the civil aviation authority for those periods have been analysed by the bbc, and show that among the 10 biggest airlines, easyjet travellers suffered an average delay of 2a minutes. gatwick and easyjet say many of the delays were beyond their control as our business correspondent emma simpson reports. up, up and away, but how often do they take off on time? the bbc has been looking at the data. gatwick airport had the longest delays, with an average of 27 minutes. luton was not far behind. doing much better, leeds bradford and belfast city airports, both with average delays of ten minutes.

the summer season can be a pinch point. gatwick has the single busiest runway in the world with planes often taking off and landing every minute. things are going smoothly here today, but if this schedule slips it can have big knock—on effects. we absolutely recognise the inconvenience caused to our passengers, but most of the time our flights are ready to go, but they simply cannot depart because we are up against the challenge of congested airspace over our heads, bad weather across the whole european region and european air traffic strikes. we fly to europe more than anyone else and, as a result, we are disproportionately more affected. as for the airlines, easyjet had the longest delays with an average of 2a minutes. it said having the biggest number of flights was a factor. thomas cook came next at 19. the shortest delays were at aer lingus, with 12 minutes. i think airports like gatwick need to think about building in a bit more resilience. i think airlines like easyjet should have, perhaps, more resources for the schedule

they are hoping to deliver, but, ultimately, it's us passengers saying, "we want loads of cheap flights, please." how best to meet the growing demand? the government reckons 30—minute delays could be the norm, unless the airspace above london and europe is redesigned to ease the congestion. emma simpson, bbc news, gatwick airport. it's just over a month since six—year—old bradley lowery died after battling a rare form of cancer. the sunderland fan won a legion of supporters across the country, including footballerjermain defoe. now, in his first interview since bradley's death, jermain told the bbc how he's been inspired by the little boy he called his "best mate". it was in september last year when jermain first walked out with bradley and from, that moment on, a friendship was made. that story of brad's is just special. i've got a nice picture in the house of me and brads at the england game.

i walked him out and we sang the national anthem. but, yeah, it's a special story, you know? my best friend. it was genuine. i mean, he was a kid, all he knew is... i don't know, hejust loved his football. he loved me. i loved him. but i could see his eyes it was genuine because as a child, there was nothing i could give him, apart from just being a friend. they were best friends and it was a friendship that captured the hearts of everyone. it was an instant connection and one that continues with bradley's mum and dad. even towards the end when he was really struggling and he was in bed, he couldn't really move, i would walk into the room and he'd jump up and his mum is, like, "he hasn't moved all day!" so, yeah, for me every time i saw him it was a special feeling. the emotion is still raw, but the impact the little boy has had on defoe has been

a positive one. the bournemouth striker calls it "a gift" and says he will be forever grateful that bradley came into his life. in a funny sort of way i wake up and i think, i don't know, if you've got a headache or you don't feel well or feel tired, "just snap out of it!" if i can see a little kid suffer like that and still fight, then... i mean, for me, there is no bigger motivation to think, "well, if he can go through that and fight, then i can go through anything." you walked out with him so many times, but was the england moment the best? yeah, that was the best. i remember being down the tunnel and he was looking for me, like he does, and i came down the tunnel and gave him a cuddle and joe hart said to me, "jermaine, will you walk the team out?" for him to do that, that was special. then we walked out and just standing there singing the national anthem with brads on mother's day and being back involved in the england squad, and actually playing at wembley. and scoring. for me, yeah, it was one of the best moments of my career. and you can see the full

interview with jermaine defoe on football focus tomorrow, that's on bbc1 at midday. time for a look at the weather. good evening, more cloud and a splash of rain but it hasn't amounted to much, tonight the rain will continue east, when it clears for the weekend it's shaping up to be decent weather. this has been today's every of cloud, various weak weather fronts, you can today's every of cloud, various weak weatherfronts, you can see today's every of cloud, various weak weather fronts, you can see the late evening sunshine disappearing, we could see a splash of rain over the athletics in london. overnight the breeze and cloud and showers, it would be particularly cold for any of us, temperatures should stay in double figures in most areas.

although it could be a little great to start the weekend morning. but it should be mostly dry with more sunshine probably around tomorrow, and even more so sunshine probably around tomorrow, and even more so on sunshine probably around tomorrow, and even more so on sunday. these are the weak weather fronts, week because pressure is building tending to use the showers and weather fronts away although the picture would be altogether dry, great and damp in southern areas, showers and a north—westerly breeze which is not the warmest direction. so temperatures won't get much higher, in fact there would be lower around the moret further than today, only about 17, and a peppering of showers for the highlands and across the cumbrian fells into the norfolk broads, across the worlds into snowdonia and some further south. in the morning we will still see british weather in the south of gradually the cloud will lift and the skies will brighten eventually when sunshine breaks through it will feel warmer than it has felt today, not in east anglia when we had 2a degrees. it's not a warm wind direction, north—westerly, as i say but through the afternoon and into

the evening the showers should ease, temperatures should rise into late afternoon so it's looking good for the athletics on saturday if you are lucky enough to be going. to saturday night into sunday it will be quite chilly, the skies will be clear so it should be good for looking at the meteor shower but it will be chilly with frost levels across the grass in scotland and some mist and fog but otherwise sunday looks quite decent. it's late in the day when bad weather comes in across the north and west of wales, it should be much more settled as would begin the new week. goodbye. this is bbc news. the headlines at 8pm: 11 people from the same family have been convicted, in a trial over modern day slavery; victims were kept in what were described
