home in wiltshire. duncan kennedy reports from winchester crown court. this was the first time victoria cilliers, on the left, has walked into court. her physical injuries behind her, but her psychological trauma is never—ending. she had no idea emile cilliers wanted her dead so idea emile cilliers wanted her dead so he could claim on her life insurance policy. incredibly, he chose to kill her doing the sport she loved, skydiving. and so, in april 2015, when victoria jumped here, her parachute had been sabotaged by her husband. thejump nearly killed her. what was happening at the locker when you got there? emile cilliers denied tampering with her parachute, or trying to rig a gas explosion at their home six days earlier. today

he was jailed for life for both. where was the parachute when you got to the locker? i can't remember. on the surface the facade can seem quite compelling, quite charming, interested in sport and the army. below the surface the story is completely different. he is cold, callous and treated his wife victoria with absolute contempt. this is the mother of his first two children. today she said he has finally faced justice. that is what he has done, he has ruined every life he has ever touched and this is what he deserves, life for life. how would you describe meal sillier is? an absolute socio path. tonight, the army confirmed emile cilliers would be sacked. victoria says she cannot understand why he did it, but he did, and now faces the consequences. now on bbc news, our world. last year a devastating fire at a

guatemalan children's home left 41 teenage girls dared and 15 with life changing injuries. —— dead. the tragedy revealed a terrifying tale of mistreatment at the home. guatemala is one of the most murderous nations on earth. as you can see there is a pretty large police presence here and that is because we are here. for parents, state ca re because we are here. for parents, state care for their children is often a desperate last resort. this area is very familiar for you.

stephanie arriaga has spent many hours here in guatemala city's general cemetery. how loblaws kimberley? kimberley died in the flames at the virgen de la asuncion children's home on march eight, 2017. in a

nation used to tragic events, the fire shocked guatemalans. after a failed mass escape, 56 teenage girls had been locked into a classroom overnight by police. in an attempt to force the offices to let them out, one of them started a fire. —— officers. the door was not unlocked until it was too late for too many. no one took charge. so stephanie founded a charity that helps families waiting outside the morgue for news of their daughters. so, you are here for 15 days? we are heading south out of the city to visit the children's home that is 110w to visit the children's home that is now closed. guatemala has 5000 children in care, and this was the largest government facility. this is

oui’ largest government facility. this is our guide. she left the home before the fire but as a teenager she lived here for more than a year. looks like a prison. doesn't look like a children's home. and how do you feel being back here? whoa.

a tower with a guard. it was built to house 400 children, but on the day of the fire, 600 were living here. now it is empty. we are not allowed inside. all you can see inside is some corrugated iron fencing that has obviously been put around the room where the girls died. that's about, i don't know, maybe 30 or 40 metres from this main gate. you can't see anything else. she came here because she was an orphan, but are also boys and girls with disabilities, gang members, vic

is of sexual abuse and children whose parents were just too poor to keep them at home. —— victims. many of the children were desperate to get out. escapes happened often. in 118 month period, more than 200 attempts were reported. some of the runaways were never found. why did the kids try and escape so often? because we understand that it happened a lot. at midnight! what was that?

how many days? it must have been terrifying. wendy home closed after the fire, other institutions stepped in to help. —— when the. some of the former residents went to this refuge, a charity running children's homes. lionel is the director, and

promotes a therapeutic environment. a stark contrast to the stories we've heard about the virgen de la asuncion. the girls are going to show us around the home now. just 28 girls live here. all survivors of sexual abuse. lionel is a well—known campaigner for child protection reform in guatemala. he had inside information about conditions in the virgen de la asuncion home. 50! you were telling them what was

happening in the home. and what were the authorities telling you? eight officials are in prison facing charges, including culpable homicide. but 15 months on, nobody has been convicted. the streets of guatemala city are often terrorised by violent gangs. the most troubled

areas are known as zona rocas, red zones. we are meeting in this couple in one of them, zone 18. here she is. ok. they place their daughter ashley in the home, and she perished in the fire. ashley was 14 when she died. i imagine that it costs you to look at that. tell me a little bit about why

ashley was in the home. there were no options. she believed the only way she could protect her child was to put in care. she takes us on child was to put in care. she takes usona child was to put in care. she takes us on a tour of the deceptively peaceful looking neighbourhood where ashley were. —— grew up. they do come now, but they sell their wares from the safety of their vans. this is a dictator chips laurie and he has got an armed guard with him. —— potato chips lorry. in areas like this where the state

is so often absent, the pressures on young people to get involved with gangs are immense. her own personal history made her acutely aware of the choices facing ashley. after the fire, more than 200 children living at the virgen de la asuncion children's home was sent back to their parents, many marginalised neighbourhoods. in this quiet sunlight, at the red zones, the zona rojas, the quite dangerous parts of guatemala city feel quite benign. we know that at least three adolescents who returned to their families after the fire were assassinated in their own communities. it's grim. insecure at home with their families, often u nsafe home with their families, often unsafe in child ren's home with their families, often unsafe in children's homes, the social security net for people in guatemala is practically

non—existent. we tracked down a teenager who escaped from the children's home at six months before the fire. —— six months before. elizabeth, as we will call her does not want to be identified. she now lives on the streets of guatemala city and comes here every day to a charity helping homeless youngsters. she spent four years in the virgen de la asuncion. in 2016, she succeeded in getting away. but how do you keep safe on the streets, because the streets of guatemala, they are not a safe place

for young women, are they? and if there are risks on guatemala's mean streets, elizabeth dole is her fears guatemala's mean streets, elizabeth dole is herfears by sniffing glue. —— dulls her fears. as night falls, we visit the city's central park. elizabeth sleeps here and we wonder how many more former residents of the virgen de la asuncion we might find. what we have been told is there are

quite a lot of kids who are living here on the streets, who also escaped from virgen de la asuncion, and like elizabeth it is too dangerous for them to go home and this is the only option. there is a very strong smell of gloom. it is a cheap, nasty drug and does lasting damage. somebody has got a baby there. she looks very young, the mum. —— glue. he is too high to make much sense,

but like elizabeth, this 17—year—old chose the streets of guatemala city over the virgen de la asuncion. and on the seventh of march last year, the day before the tragic fire, more than 100 boys and girls, also desperate to leave this notorious children's home, plant a mass escape. it was this that provoked the ultimately lethal response of the ultimately lethal response of the state. claudia was the guatemalan journalist who is published testimony of the survivors of the fire. it was recorded while they we re fire. it was recorded while they were in hospital and described their ca ptu re. the recaptured youngsters were held

for hours outside the home. at around 1am on the eighth of march, they were taken back inside the home. their mattresses with thrown into a classroom and 56 girls we re thrown into a classroom and 56 girls were locked inside by police officers. we still do not know who gave that order. —— bare mattresses were thrown into a classroom.

nine minutes is what we have been told, nine minutes. nine long minutes. at the department of social welfare, we visit the official responsible for guatemala's looked after children. when we meet him, he has been in hisjob there we. what responsibility does the department have for what happened at the children's home last year? as we understand it, there have been dozens as we understand it, there have been d oze ns of as we understand it, there have been dozens of complaints against people working in the home, against the conditions there. why was it still open? the challenge to child protection

reform is huge, not least because of the national malaise, corruption. two of guatemala's former presidents in prison on fraud charges, and nepotism, budget skimming and cash contracts are all part of the virgen de la asuncion story. this girl, he lived here is a teenager, now has a job she likes and lives with extended family. but her experiences in this children's home have left

their mark. how much time did you spend here? the weather this weekend is looking a little hit and miss. in fact, we are expecting some rain, on—and—off rain, across northern parts of the uk. there could even be some thunder and lightning. but the good news is it's not going to be like it all through the weekend. i think we'll all get at least some sunshine. let's have a look at the satellite image. a lot of cloud across the uk right now and, in fact, this area of cloud here, that's racing in our direction. that'll be moving through the rest of the night and into saturday morning, and that's responsible for the showers. so here's the forecast then through the early hours of saturday. showers getting into northern ireland, some into wales, the north—west of england and western scotland. so here we will have some rain overnight, and then towards the east and the south, it's looking dry. the temperatures first thing on saturday will be hovering around about 10 degrees. now, this is the low pressure that is going to upset the weather a little bit, at least temporarily on saturday, and the further north you are across the country, the more likely you are to run into those heavy showers.

so let's say wales, parts of northern england, northern ireland, certainly scotland here, there could be some thunder and lightning and potential downpours, but they won't last for very long. in fact, the breeze, and it will be a fair old breeze, should push them through relatively quickly. you can see where the splodges of blue are. to the south, not so much of that blue, so here the weather is looking drier and brighter. so that weather system moves away, those are the showers here. by the time we get to sunday, another weather front moves through, but this weather front is going to bring something a little bit different. this is going to be mostly cloud, so we're going to have to pay for it. we're going to lose the showers, but there will be a lot of cloud streaming in off the atlantic on sunday. there will be some sunshine around, particularly across these eastern areas, but for some of us, it may be quite an overcast day. in fact, some of these coastal areas on sunday could end up being even a little on the drizzly side. temperatures will be typically around the high teens on sunday,

so nothing too spectacular, but in the sunshine, it shouldn't feel too bad at all. and then as we head into next week, the good news is that the weather system seems to be moving to the north and away from us. there'll still be some rain in the north of the country, but the overall trend is for things to start warming up. so for example, in manchester, by monday and tuesday, we're back into the mid—20s, london possibly even into the high 20s through the course of the week. so the good news is that the weather is going to be improving across much of the uk as we head back into next week, and summer is going to make a return. that's it, bye—bye. this is bbc news. i'm nkem ifejika. our top stories: 2,000 children separated from their parents in two months — us authorities reveal their mexican border measures. the trade war heats up. washington announces 25% tariffs on chinese goods — and beijing promises retaliation. they can't believe they got away
