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. i think it is absolutely right that 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 wants to know if it's plausible to contest the release decision in the courts, and if there is a good chance of success. lawyers for some of the victims are also considering legal action. we have been looking into legal challenge

of the decision by the parole board. we can also look at the rules which prohibit any publication of the reasons for the decision, something that the secretary of state content of because they are his rules. it would be highly unusual for the government to launch a legal challenge against the parole board, an organisation it is responsible for. and if the case ends up here at the high court, there's no guarantee of success. would it be difficult? that depends on the quality of the decision—making. if this was a bad decision, one which no reasonable decision maker could have reached, or for some reason it failed to follow the procedures, for example, it has been said that the victims, or some of them, weren't consulted, it is quite possible the decision was unlawful. it is so unusual is that it's not usually the secretary of state forjustice making those arguments. in the meantime, preparations are continuing forjohn worboys‘ release. some are concerned that the serial sex offender will try to track them down. he has asked lawyers to look at weather it is plausible

ian kelcey from the law society's criminal law committee says the decision to releasejon worboys would have been carefully considered. you have got a very good cross—section of people throughout who are looking at this case.

and they will not have come to this decision easily. the first thing you have to bear in mind, it has to be a unanimous decision. it cannot be a split decision, they all have two agree that he is no longer a risk to the public. now, there is a big brouhaha about his release, but we are all offering opinions and putting forward views, but none of us actually know the facts. they are duty—bound if they feel there is no risk to the public, to say that he is suitable for release. what we must bear in mind, when he was sentenced, he was sentenced on the basis that he would be considered for parole after he had served a period of eight years. now, as far as i am aware, nobody appealed that, nobody said it was unduly lenient, nobly went to the attorney general asking them to make a decision which they then took to the court of appeal. as far as i'm aware, that not happen. at that stage, people were content, if i can put it that way, with the sentence passed. now, what we now have is a situation that, as i say, we are all offering opinions but none of us know the facts. the only people who know the facts are the parole board. he may have health issues, there are may be all sorts of reasons why he is no longer a risk to the public. the leader of ukip henry bolton,

is under pressure to resign, after his girlfriend was suspended from the party, for making offensive remarks about prince harry's fiancee, meghan markle. mr bolton hasn't made any comment. here's our political correspondent alex forsyth. we as weasa we as a party are a party of leaders. just three months into the job there are questions over his future, relating to his relationship with this woman, jo marney, in tex messages, she has said that meghan markle had a tiny brain and would taint the royal family. markle had a tiny brain and would taint the royalfamily. she markle had a tiny brain and would taint the royal family. she called black people ugly. the mail on sunday revealed text messages she sent in which he said meghan markle had a tiny brain and would taint the royal family. and she called black people ugly. in a statement, she reportedly said her comments were unnecessary, reckless and overly exaggerated for effect, and offered her sincere and deepest apologies to anyone she had hurt, and for the distress and embarrassment caused to family, friends and the party. she has been suspended, and some ukip members think their leader should quit. i don't want to talk about his personal life. it's entirely up to him. but it is impacting on activists now, and they are working down hard, and it's not fair on them and the rest of us. henry, do the right thing,

the honourable thing, stand aside and let us get on with business. so far, no official comment from henry bolton, but senior figures say he has some tough choices. he is increasingly in a position where he has some difficult decisions to make. he knows that. he and i have spoken recently over the weekend, as recently as this morning. i know he's focused on those decisions today and he intends to make those decisions today. i'm sure whatever he does will be in the best interests of the party. after riding high following the brexit referendum, ukip is again facing turmoil. even nigel farage said tonight he wouldn't consider returning as leader, even for a second. lets speak to suzanne evans, former ukip deputy chairman, she joins us from shrewsbury. what were your thoughts when you first saw the comments? they are absolutely disgraceful, there is no justification for them whatsoever, whether they were thoughts expressed

ina whether they were thoughts expressed in a private conversation or whatever, those thoughts are reprehensible to any right—thinking person. the problem is not so much that henry bolton should resign because of what his girlfriend has said, it would be a very sad day if anyone of us said, it would be a very sad day if anyone of us were said, it would be a very sad day if anyone of us were held accountable for what our partners did or friends and family, but it is just another scandal on top of scandal after scandal on top of scandal after scandal with christa bolton. i understand he is considering his position, we will have to see what the next few hours bring. —— with mr bolton. should he resign? he has not personally said it. the reason people are calling for him to resign, and they were calling for him to resign before the story was run, and that is because they felt human misrepresented himself and his family man credentials, if you like, on the campaign trail, when he stood to be leader. it transpires he has been married three times, we thought it was only twice, has left his

breast—feeding wife, they have a young baby, he has left his wife for this young woman. i think that calls into question whether or not he has the emotional intelligence to lead ukip or whether he has just been very naive and has misled some of the members. there are people who are very angry and upset and they feel they have been misled. what impact does the conduct ofjoe marnie and that of henry bolton have on the party generally? scandal on scandal. and the problem ukip has had is that we have unfortunately at times been saddled with this racist image. -- jo marney. i completely dispute that, we were called racist because we wanted to leave the european union, it turns out that was the majority view of the country, 52% of the country who voted agreed with us, as we found out ina voted agreed with us, as we found out in a referendum. because of that, we have to be tougher. i am pleased ukip acted quickly, as soon

as these allegations of whatjo marney said kent to light, she responded immediately. —— came to light. sexism, comments about margaret thatcher, esther mcvey, being lynched, assassinated, anti—semitism, look at that in labour, other parties could take a leaf out of our book and act more quickly when these incidents come to light. other party members have spokenin light. other party members have spoken in temperately, and people who want to stand as candidates have been exposed as holding views that some people may find distasteful, let's say, so we hear today that the conservatives are talking about an online respect pledge, quite a clear signal that they feel something needs to be done, how does ukip need to rebrand. 0r needs to be done, how does ukip need to rebrand. or at least stamp authority on members. —— intemperately. we have a

constitution that states very clearly that we will not tolerate any kind of racism, sexism or homophobia, pabst ukip needs to be tougher in action in making sure thatis tougher in action in making sure that is enacted. what the conservatives are putting forward today, i think that is right. the trouble with politics, it in flames passions, people get excited about politics, they have very strong views, that must never be allowed to step over into abuse. unfortunately we have seen it from quite senior people in politics, they have done that and that is deeply regrettable. so, jeremy corbyn, when he became leader of the labour party, he talked about a new kind are gentler politics but what we have seen from his party and momentum has been the opposite, there is a real problem with politics at the moment. very aggressive. social media is fuelling that in particular. needs to be dealt with and nipped in the bud before it gets completely out of hand. thank you very much for your time. and we'll find out how this story,

and many others, are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30pm this evening in the papers, our guests joining me tonight are martin bentham, home affairs editor at the london evening standard, and owen bennett, deputy political editor of huffpost uk. and we hope to be discussing that online pledge later on this at the even in. —— even in. —— evening. humberside police are looking for a man they want to question, in connection with a murder thought to have been committed with a crossbow. shane gilmer, who was 30, died in hospital after the attack, at his home in the village of southburn on friday. his pregnant girlfriend was seriously injured. 0ur correspondent, fiona trott reports murdered in his own home, killed in

his house yesterday, his partner survived the attack. an appeal by the police, they want to question a man in connection with the murder. we do not believe that mr lawrence isa we do not believe that mr lawrence is a threat to the wider public, this is an isolated incident, and he was known to both shane and laura, in fact, they were neighbours. we do not know how he will react if challenged, so please don't approach him, call 999 and leave it to us. 56—year—old anthony lawrence is also known as tony howarth. white, short dark hair, five feet ten, large build. every police force across the uk is looking out for him. two days after this attack, the village is still cordoned off, tech tips are down at the scene, another cordon at the other end, people being asked for their identities, as they come out of the village. 0vernight, police dog teams and the force helicopter were out, searching for whoever was responsible for this attack. villagers in this quiet corner of east yorkshire cannot believe what has happened. police

are asking them and anybody else with information to come forward. talks to secure the future of the struggling construction firm carillion, are expected to continue into tomorrow. the company, which holds several key government contracts, owes more than 900 million pounds to a number of banks. ministers say they're keeping a close eye on the situation. here's our business correspondent joe lynam. karim is probably the biggest british company you have never heard of. it maintains hundreds of schools, hospitals, prisons and even libraries. if it collapsed there is a concern about who would take over at short notice. —— carillion. it is not just public services, at short notice. —— carillion. it is notjust public services, thousands of private sector firms are dependent upon carillion for subcontract work. it represents 120,000 workers. if you multiply

that, then the effect could be significant. there was a flurry of activity at the cabinet office, it sells having a face—lift, pulling together all the different strands of government, dependent on carillion. it carries out so much work is only different arms of government, it needs to be awarded native here at the cabinet office. they are working on contingency plans, should they collapse, and it isa plans, should they collapse, and it is a big should, then they will be ready to continue working in prisons and schools and hospitals and there will not be so much interruption to services. sources tell the bbc that banks would be prepared to show more patients towards career leon the government supports the company as well. —— carillion. a public bailout ofa well. —— carillion. a public bailout of a public business could be —— a public bailout of a private business could be politically toxic. a murder investigation has been

launched in loughborough, after a man was killed in the early hours of this morning. police were called to an incident on moira street where two people were found injured. a man was treated for stab wounds, but subsequently died at the scene. a female was also treated for minor facial injuries. two of the world's leading fashion photographers, have been suspended from working for vogue and other magazines owned by the publishing house conde nast. the new york times has published a series of allegations against mario testino and bruce weber that they sexually harassed young male models. they both deny the claims. adina campbell reports. the lawyers for him have said that

his accusers cannot be considered reliable sources. another well—known photographer, bruce weber, faces similar allegations, he has denied wrongdoing. conde nast, publishers of magazines like vogue and g0, has taken action. in a statement, the editor, anna wintour, because in both personal friends, editor, anna wintour, because in both personalfriends, has said: vogue isa is a global powerhouse, to grace one of the front covers is a massive deal. marietta stena and bruce webber have been responsible for some of those images. —— mario testino. with allegations of sexual exportation swirling, their futures are hanging in the balance. there are hanging in the balance. there are now called for more regulation in the fashion world. i have been on shoot where i have been inappropriately touched, extremely

inappropriately touched, extremely inappropriate comments made to me. i would like to see unions organising collective bargaining and i would also like to see what models in new york are proposing, an independent body to represent disputes that would represent taking on major names which people could not take on on their own. these are the latest accusations to be levelled at the entertainment industry. the headlines: the justice at the entertainment industry. the headlines: thejustice secretary considers applying for a judicial review after the decision to release serial sex attackerjohn worboys. ukip leader henry bolton faces calls to resign, as the party suspends his girlfriend for alleged racist remarks. police hunt for a man after a fatal attack, reportedly involving a fatal attack, reportedly involving a crossbow in which one man was killed and a woman was seriously injured in east yorkshire. the new chairman of the conservatives says their activists

must be better at using social media to put forward the party's message. brandon lewis who took over the role in last week's government reshuffle, said the tories would equip activists with a cyber "toolkit." speaking to the andrew marr show mr lewis said he wanted to help supporters engage with potential voters. what matters to me, we have a huge number of people, notjust members but volunteers and activists around the country, day in and day out, knocking on doors, delivering leaflets, getting involved in social media, spreading the message about the positive things we are doing in government so we win votes in local and general elections, to make sure we give people good governance in their local areas. have you got as many members as the labour party. as tempting as it is, i will not play a numbers game. this is notjust a numbers game. this is notjust a numbers game, they are absolutely taking you to the cleaners online, as you have admitted, and lots and lots of people, mobilising up and down the country, it in

constituencies with actual bodies knocking on doors and handing out leaflets. the conservative party has nothing like that number of people. we have a huge number of great people delivering leaflets and knocking on doors, the last test, june last year, we did not win the seat we wanted to win but god 1 million more votes, the biggest vote share we have had in decades. iwant to make sure we are building on that. quite rightly, building an online presence as well, doing it in a respectful way. i'm joined now by giles kenningham, former conservative party director of communications. what you think of this new online respect pledge? good starting point, reset the conversation, recast, too much boil and vitriol pumped out online for people across the political spectrum, it is poisoning the well of political debate and acting as a barrierfor of political debate and acting as a barrier for people who want to get into front line politics. good thing but not the smoking gun. what is? a

series of measures, if we are to get any further forward with this we need some form of ross party consensus. they do have said they are not willing to sign up, really, the most progressive and grown—up thing is to come together as parties and say, how can we stop this? switching people of politics at a time when politicians are regularly talking about how we get more young people engaged. how clear is the line between free speech and what some people might think is abusive? quite clear, nothing wrong with this agreeing with people on a point of fa ct agreeing with people on a point of fact or principle but when you get into the realm of public insult, you have gone one step too far. is common were irresponsible, reckless, it is something he should apologise for. —— nothing wrong with disagreeing with people on a point of fa ct disagreeing with people on a point of fact or principle. but this is within parties as well. problem is, social media, no room for nuance,

also you get a stream of narrative pumped out. how likely is it that a conservative party member would be reprimanded if they were seen to be attacking a rival to yellow the code of conduct, we will look at it, it must be zero tolerance across—the—board. too many tories are shying away from fighting with the party on social media. why is that, it seems that labour seem to engage more with their potential voters. there is a recognition that labour have owned the online space, certainly a key factor in their election performance, they did not win but they had a very good 2017 election. for the tories they must find new ways of engaging online, young people do not vote for conservatives traditionally, they have to find a way of wooing the youth vote. there is also a general trend, more and more people are not

watching news by appointment or buy newspapers, they are consuming news online. for tories that is a big challenge. where labour have got it right, third—party grassroots group, like momentum, getting the activists engaged and mobilised and energised to pump out the message. you need a conservative version of momentum? yes, a third party that can go a bit further... they have been criticised yellow sometimes they go one step too far, yes, there is always a line, but you need other people pushing your message, giving you greater credibility. how much of this goes down to the fact that the demographic of the conservative party membership and their voters tends to be older. that is an issue, yes, it is over 50. what you see is that more young people not only engaged but are coming out to vote, traditionally young people might engage but they did not vote, in 2017 the trend was reversed, the conservatives recognise that. ageing

demographic voting for them, the tories must think, how will they get young people on board, because that is the future. how much of this is down to policies rather than meanmemes and retweets. down to policies rather than meanmemes and retweetsm down to policies rather than meanmemes and retweets. it is policy first, the big green agenda from the conservatives, reaching out to young people. added a do that... you need to plant a seed in the first place. —— how do they do that? to plant a seed in the first place. -- how do they do that? you have seen them set out the environment apologies are the next 25 years, the new forest, dusty back tax, that is in motion, but obviously, need to do more in that area. the other issue, the backdrop of brexit, how do the tories carve out a distinct domestic agenda, while brexit is going on, bring young people with them. thank you very much with joining us. tens of thousands of tunisians have

taken part in fresh protests against austerity, on the day that the country marks the seventh anniversary of the uprising which led to the arab spring. but there's been no repeat of last week's violence which resulted in more than 800 arrests. flag waving demonstrators chanted anti—government slogans in the capital tunis, alongside pro—government crowds marking the ousting of tunisia's former leader seven ousting of tunisia's former leader seve n yea rs ousting of tunisia's former leader seven years ago. that revolt sparked uprisings across the arab world. our correspondent mark lowen has been reports from tunis. crisp winter sun here in tunis today, the centre of the capital, thronged with people, anti—government protest, further down the boulevard, pro—government groups, all of them commemorating the seventh anniversary ofjune is ian's revolution, overthrowing the old regime. groups are calling for an end to the austerity measures,

the tax rises and price hikes that prompted violent social unrest earlier in the week, more than 800 people were arrested and one person died. the president today has been visiting an impoverished suburb of tunis, and he hopes the symbolism of that visit along with an announced package of social welfare reforms will stave off further demonstrations. even though it has been a calm atmosphere here, almost like a carnival, tunisia is riven with political, social and economic divisions. for many in this country, the overwhelming hope that there was in 2011 in the arab spring feels increasingly like a distant memory. an iranian oil tanker is reported to have sunk in the east china sea, eight days after bursting into flames, following a collision with another ship. the vessel had been transporting nearly a million barrels of oil from iran to south korea. all thirty—two crew members are presumed dead. more than 160 passengers and crew

had a lucky escape when their plane skidded off a runway in turkey and plunged down a steep slope. the nose of the boeing 737 came to restjust a few metres from the black sea. andy moore reports. the accident happened in the darkness last night. it was only in the daylight this morning that it became apparent how close to disaster the plane had come. the pegasus flight from ankara skidded off the runway in wet conditions and down a steep slope, with its nose coming to restjust metres from the sea. one of the engines detached from the wing and ended up in the water. these pictures from onboard the plane show the understandable panic and confusion. passengers had to clamber up an incline towards the rear of the plane to get out. one hundred and sixty two passengers and six crew were on board. some people were taken to hospital as a precaution but nobody was injured. the airport was closed for a while last night but has reopened this morning.

theories about the cause of the incident include a bird strike or ice on the runway but the governor of trabzon says it was still under investigation. this was a lucky escape for passengers on this plane. last year was the safest ever for commercial aviation. there were around 4 billion journeys made last year and not a single passenger jet crashed. andy moore, bbc news. tributes have been paid to surgeon captain rickjolly who has died at his home in cornwall. during the falklands war he set up a field hospital which treated both british and argentine troops and was uniquely honoured by both countries. among those paying tribute today was simon weston who credited jolly with saving his life. in1982, during
