correspondent danny shaw. he is known as the black cab rapist. john worboys is believed to have drugged and sexually assaulted more than 100 women. yet the parole board has decided that after ten years in custody, it is safe for him to be released, and he is due out by the end of the month. the government wants to stop that happening and is looking at the possibility of legal action. anybody out there will appreciate just how awful this must be for victims, to see what is happening. to think about somebody like that being out on the streets. the secretary of state forjustice will be doing everything he can to make sure this man stays behind bars. thejustice secretary has been in the post less than one week. he has asked lawyers to look at weather it is plausible to contest the decision in the courts and whether there is a good chance of success. 0pposition mps welcomed the move. i think that the public are completely bewildered that john worboys is being released as early as he is. he is a serious criminal and a threat to women and i do not

think that his victims, nor, frankly, the majority of women, are going to be convinced that he does not continue to be a threat to us. but it would be highly unusual for the government to launch a legal challenge against a decision made by an organisation they are responsible for, and if they do bring judicial review proceedings against the parole board, there is no guarantee of success. we do know that the bar forjudicial review claims is set very high. you cannot simply take a case to court because you do not like the outcome. it has to be unlawful for some reason or another, so we will wait and see. in the meantime, victims ofjohn worboys are being consulted on what conditions he will have to comply with when he is let out. some are concerned that the serial six offender will try to track them down. i've been speaking to human rights barrister, hugh southey, about the potential challenges the government might face

in seeking judicial review. 0ne one of the difficulties, as an interested member of the public, is that because the parole board decision is private, it is impossible to know weather or not there are grounds for challenging it. from the details that we know, what do you think? well, from the details that we know, i... i think it is impossible to know, because he was sentenced, obviously, ten years ago on the basis that he posed a risk at that stage. but ten years is, in principle, long enough to allow somebody to reform. we just do not know as members of the public whether or not that material was before the parole board, material showing that he had reformed. should the government go ahead and seek thisjudicial review, what the government go ahead and seek this judicial review, what might be their chances of success? well,

again, that is i think impossible to say without knowing what the reasoning was. as, i think, say without knowing what the reasoning was. as, ithink, matt stanbury just reasoning was. as, ithink, matt stanburyjust said reasoning was. as, ithink, matt stanbury just said on reasoning was. as, ithink, matt stanburyjust said on your video, the bar is set quite high. it is quite hard to challenge decisions of the parole board because a lot of pa role the parole board because a lot of parole board decisions are regarded asjudgments, essentially, parole board decisions are regarded as judgments, essentially, that parole board decisions are regarded asjudgments, essentially, that it has been entrusted to date. but it is not impossible to challenge the pa role is not impossible to challenge the parole board. ukip has suspended the girlfriend of its party leader, henry bolton, after she made apparently racist remarks about prince harry's fiancee, meghan markle. the mail on sunday has published text messages allegedly sent byjo marney that include derogatory comments about ethnic minorities. dan johnson reports.

would taint the royal family and that black people were ugly. when a reply was sent suggesting that these comments might be racist, she said, "so what?" and that she did not want other races invading her culture. in a statement, she said... ukip confirmed she has been suspended. the party leader said last night he did not want to comment. ukip‘s mep for the west midlands, bill etheridge, told me his leader should quit.

all around this country, there are ukip activists and supporters who are looking to us to take a lead to try to push brexit forward, to try to focus on the issues that actually got us elected and that we are renowned for. and whilst this is happening, we have a leader who has been preferably, as it appears, completely anonymous and invisible, but now, all we get, day after day, despite the hard work of our activists, is talk about issues within his personal life which, frankly, i do not care about, but the way he is handling it is unprofessional. he is a political lightweight, completely out of his depth who frankly needs to move away and let the rest of us get on with pursuing the wishes of the british people in freedom from the eu. you say you do not care about his personal life and what happens, but if you ask for him to go now, the issue of the moment is his personal life. surely that should be private. the point is, it has been ongoing for weeks. we are trying to get on with the issue at hand,

the freedom of our country from the eu. it is rather important. all we get constantly is this issue rumbling on.
