store in huddersfield, a lonely moorland — just a few of the places where vulnerable children were groomed and sexually abused by men of mainly pakistani heritage. so many men were involved that three trials were needed. a judge has now ruled the 20 who were convicted can now be publicly identified. one of them was mohammed ibrah, nicknamed bully. a huge man who used his physical presence to intimidate. one of his victims was thrown out of his car when she refused to give in to his depraved demands. he kept punching me and punching me. it felt like my nose was broken. they kicked me, and i got out of the car and started running. ijumped over the fence and started running down the moors. then i ran back up and saw them drive off. i had tojump in front of a car covered in blood at 4am in the morning to get a lift back to huddersfield.

the ringleader, amere singh dhaliwal, was jailed for life and told he must serve a minimum of 18 years. the judge said his treatment of the girls was "inhuman". 0ne scenario which kept cropping up in these cases is that victims were driven up here onto the moors at night. if they didn't do what their abusers told them to, they were beaten up and dumped. imagine being a child left in this wilderness, in the dark, having been physically and sexually assaulted by someone you thought cared for you. it's a very frightening place. there is so much more than up here they can be anywhere. this farmer vividly remembers a distressed teenage girls knocking on the door of his remote hilltop home. over the years, he's had to take several to safety. as i looked out, there were three girls that looked roughed up and confused. they didn't know where they were and asked if they could come in and if i could help them. what was the impression you got of what had happened to them?

it looked like they had been knocked about by someone. something funny... something very suspicious was happening. i could tell by their hair, which was everywhere, and they were crying uncontrollably. she would come home disorientated, scratches, bites... the mother of one schoolgirl victim told us what everyday life was like. on one occasion, she came home and her neck was completely black with bites from one side to the other. a taxi had just pulled up outside and pushed her out. i could see another girl in the back, and then it just drove off. i changed my hours so i could pick her up after school. i used to dread bank holidays when i knew she would be at home and i couldn't monitor her. west yorkshire police refused to answer criticism from the prosecution that they were disgraceful for ignoring complaints at the time from victims. the local council says victims would be listened to now. these crimes took place a number of years ago, at a time when, as we know sadly from other cases in other parts of the country,

that the issue of child sexual exploitation was not well defined or understood. since then, lessons have been learned. the men so far sentenced for this abuse have collectively been jailed for more than 220 years. another four men will be sentenced next month. danny savage, bbc news. bbc look north's home and social affairs correspondent emma glasbey is in huddersfield and has sent this update. well, the details of the these three trials were chilling. these girls were children deliberately selected and targeted because they were vulnerable. now, the judge told the court the way these girls were treated defies understanding. he said that many if not all of the girls will never recover from the abuse they suffered. he said that the girls had displayed great courage in giving evidence,

but that the men responsible had shown no remorse. now the ringleader of this gang was a man who raped girls as young as 11. thejudge told him, "your treatment of these girls was inhuman." he was jailed for 18 years. another man disappeared during the course of his trial whilst he was on bail. police are still looking for him. now there were criticisms in court of west yorkshire police and local council about how they responded to the victims and their families when the abuse began 1a years ago. council has announced that an independent review is to be carried out. and we'll find out how this story, and many others, are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:a0pm and 11:30pm this evening in the papers. 0ur guestsjoining me tonight are jason beattie, head of politics at the mirror, and anna isaac, who's

the economics and trade correspondent for the telegraph. hope you can join hope you canjoin us hope you can join us for that. the islamist preacher anjem choudary has been been released from prison on licence. he's served half of a five—year sentence handed down to him in 2016 for inviting support for the islamic state group. the bbc understands there will be restrictions on his movements and he'll be closely monitored by the security services. our home affairs correspondent june kelly reports. within hours of coming out of prison, anjem choudary was back in a familiar place. in front of the cameras. he can be seen, but not heard. he is banned from speaking to the media. this probation hostel in north london is where he is initially being housed. it was before dawn when he was driven across the capital from belmarsh top security prison. during his time inside, he hasn't changed his views, according

to counterextremism specialists. he's become hardened in his own extremism and in his own radicalised opinions. there have been numerous attempts to try and deradicalise anjem choudary, as part of the pastoral care service with imams in prison services. they have got nowhere. the whole world one day, my brothers, will be under the sharia, including hackney, moscow, new york, all of the countries under the thumb of the muslims. for two decades, anjem choudary was clear about the world he wanted to see. a master manipulator, he was at the centre of a network of violent extremists. we are we a re clearly we are clearly at war! michael adebolajo was one of the pair who carried out the savage street killing of fusilier lee rigby. another choudary disciple, siddhartha dhar, fled the uk while on bail and is suspected

of being part of an is killing squad. the former head of counterterrorism at scotland yard believes choudary‘s influence outstripped his character. i think we've got to be careful not to overstate him. he is a pathetic groomer of others and should be seen as such. i think we all have to be very careful about not over inflating his status and giving him some sort of mythical evil genius type character, because that's not what he is. anjem choudary will be subject to a long list of restrictions and supervising him will cost a lot of public money. as part of the restrictions, he will have two where a tag and be under a curfew. he is banned from preaching and organising meetings. he can only see people who are approved and he is banned from meeting anyone with a terror connection. and he will have to get permission to go on the internet. i don't think he should have been released, he sets a bad precedent for what he's done and the damage he has done, to get two and a half years, not enough. i've worked with a lot of families, and one of the families i've worked with, it's ruined their lives.

as the law stands, he is eligible for release now. the restrictions on him will last only a couple of years. june kelly, bbc news. a brexit deal may never be reached, according to the european union's chief negotiator. michel barnier says 90% of the deal is done, but that the problems surrounding the irish border could collapse any agreement. and the prime minister is facing a fierce backlash against the idea of extending the uk's transition period after leaving the european union, as john pienaar reports. still in brussels, still turning on the charm, or trying to, still getting nowhere fast. not many more leaders photos before britain leaves. now, theresa may is being handed a set of allegedly impossible demands as the price of a deal. she went on her way with eu leaders like donald tusk, sympathetic but still leaving her to face angry

tories. michel barnier took to french radio to say britain was behind its own problems. translation: brexit has numerous consequences, it was chosen by the british. at home today, the consequences included her scottish secretary openly demanding no extension to eu fishing rules in scotland. i want us to still leave the common fisheries policy at the end of 2020. the scottish tories want scottish fishing free of eu rules and quotas. at westminster, tories on all sides hate the idea of extending the brexit transition, with a further delay and further billions to the eu. they want the prime minister to mean it when she says she would walk away with no deal. it would help if the government started to demonstrate more confident that we will leave if we cannot get a deal.

what we cannot have is the european union has to give us permission before we leave. the pm is sticking to the hope she will never need to lengthen the transition. britain having to stay under eu rules longer than planned, and if it does, she wants the uk free to pull out. easy to say, hard to negotiate. harder, still, to get past her party. 0nce supporteive or tolerant tory mps now say they are impatient and a vote of confidence in her leadership now looks more likely. even if she survived that, she would emerge damaged, politically weakened. there is also more muttering about who is manoeuvring for a future contest and who tory mps want next. brexit was always about high principles of sovereignty. it is coming down to the lower politics of power, plotting and political survival.

a russian national has been charged with attempting to interfere in the 2018 us midterm elections. the us department ofjustice alleges elena alekseevna khusyanova tried to manipulate voters using social media and other platforms. it's alleged she's been involved in what's been described as "information warfare against the united states" in a kremlin—backed plan. at least 60 people have died near the indian city of amritsar after a train ran over a group of festival goers. a policeman said people had been sitting on or near the tracks watching the burning of effigies, and the noise of the approaching train was drowned out by fireworks. james clayton is in delhi and sends this report. essentially what we believe happened was a crowd had gathered to watch an effigy being burnt as part of a festival. some of those spectators had gathered on a railway track. when the effigy was being set

alight, firecrackers started going off, fireworks started and it is incredibly loud. at the same time, a train was coming. clearly, a lot of the crowd didn't hearthe train coming, whether the train driver decided to try and warn them, we don't know, whether he didn't see them at this point. we do know that the train did plough into a number of people on that track, causing mass fatalities. the time isjust the time is just approaching a quarter past 8pm. the headlines on bbc news... 20 men are found guilty of being part of a grooming gang that abused girls as young as 11 in and around huddersfield. radical islamist preacher anjem choudary is released from prison on licence and is now at a bail hostel. more than two weeks afterjournalist jamal khashoggi went missing,

the former head of m16 says he has little doubt that the saudi regime ordered his killing. sport now, and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's will perry. good evening. let's start with tennis news. tie—breaks will be played at 12—all in the final set at wimbledon from next year. it comes after the deciding set of kevin anderson's semifinal withjohn isner this year lasted almost three hours. that's prompted bosses at the all england club to act. so next year, if the final set is deadlocked at 12 games all, the winner will be the first player or team to reach seven points with an advantage of two or more points. the decision has predictably brought a big response on social media including from three—time wimbledon champion boris becker... former british number

one greg rusedski. .. and former tour pro mardy fish says... staying with tennis, britain'sjohanna konta has lost in the semi—finals of the kremlin cup. but her run came to an end as she was beaten in straight sets 6—4, 6—3 by the sixth seed and local favourite daria kasatkina. it was only the second time this year she'd reached the last four of a competition. and lewis hamilton was quickest in first practise for this weekend's

us grand prix in austin, texas. hamilton finished 1.3 seconds ahead of his mercedes team—mate valteri bottas. ferrari's sebastian vettel down in fifth. hamilton will become world champion again if he wins sunday's race and vettel is lower than second. second practise has just got underway. eden hazard doesn't need to go to spain to win the ballon d'0r. that's according to his chelsea manager maurizio sarri. hazard has been linked with a move to real madrid in recent months. it's thought that part of the appeal is that it would increase hazard's chances of winning europe's biggest individual honours, but sarri believes hazard can do that by staying at stamford bridge. he can win everything, also the battle on the work, without playing in spain. because for example, if the chelsea will be able to win the champions league and the belgian national team will be able to win

the world cup, he will be able to win everything. the rape and death threats sent to chelsea women's captain karen carney have been reported to police by the football association and her club. the threats followed chelsea's victory over fiorentina in the champions league on wednesday. the fa say they're "appalled" and "dismayed" and carney has recently released this statement in which she confirmed the matter was in the hands of the police. carney posted this on social media today... there's one game in the rugby union champions cup this evening. leicester are taking on scarlets in pool four. the score is currently 10—10.

live commentary on five live sports extra and via the bbc sport website right now. that's all the sport for now. the former head of mi6, sirjohn sawers, has said he has little doubt that the order to kill the journalist jamal khashoggi came from the highest part of the saudi regime. the washington post columnist hasn't been seen for more than two weeks since entering the saudi consulate in istanbul. the saudi authorities have denied any involvement, but the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt has warned of "consequences" if mr khashoggi has been murdered. 0ur diplomatic correspondent james robbins reports. does this forest near istanbul hold appalling evidence of murder? turkish police have reportedly searched here for the remains of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi, who walked into his country's consulate in istanbul over two weeks ago and then disappeared. suspicion has fallen on saudi arabia's crown prince. on tuesday, the 33—year—old told

mike pompeo, america's secretary of state, he knew nothing of what had happened. but now, a former head of mi6, has dismissed that denial. sirjohn sawers believes the prince had thought the trump administration wouldn't complain about the murder. this appalling killing points to the evidence of it being ordered and carried out by people close to the crown prince of saudi arabia. i don't think he would have done this if he hadn't thought he had licence from the us administration to behave as he wished to do so. look at these pictures of the crown prince, and particularly this man, seen regularly in the background. the saudi security official is close to the prince and cctv footage leaked by turkey also places him outside the consul‘s residence in istanbul the day jamal khashoggi disappeared.

and what about a leaked audio recording, allegedly released from inside the saudi consulate? the sounds apparently of jamal khashoggi's terrifying last minutes. turkey has denied to sharing it with other governments, but does not deny the recording exists. this spring, the saudi crown prince was greeted as a reformer by theresa may. it is a close ally, but today, it is much trickier. if the stories we are reading turn out to be true, will that have an affect on our relationship? yes, it will, because if the stories are true, and it is still an if, they will be totally against our values as a country. investigations into jamal khashoggi's fate continue, but pressure for answers, however horrible, is building. james robbins, bbc news.

devon and cornwall police have admitted breaking health and safety laws following the death of a church caretaker. thomas 0rchard, who was 32 and had schizophrenia, died in hospital a week after he suffered a cardiac arrest at an exeter police station in 2012. 0fficers used an emergency restraining belt, but the force hasn't accepted that the belt led directly to mr 0rchard's death. duncan kennedy reports. for thomas 0rchard's parents, today was the latest hearing in the six years since his death. it was in exeter that thomas, a paranoid schizophrenic, was arrested after shouting at passers—by. at the police station, a fabric restraining belt was put over his face. a few minutes after it was removed, he stopped breathing and later died in hospital. three police staff were put on trial for the manslaughter of thomas, but were cleared.

today, the chief constable admitted his force broke one health and safety law regarding training, but not that the belt had caused thomas's death. it is only right to plead guilty on behalf of devon and cornwall police to this charge. however, legal matters remain outstanding in respect of whether this health and safety breach caused the death of thomas. thomas 0rchard's family welcomed that admission, but say it doesn't go far enough. for over six years, devon and cornwall police have consistently refused to accept any responsibility for thomas's needless and avoidable death. we will continue to fight forjustice for thomas, and we are committed to doing all we can to reduce the shameful frequency with which people with mental health difficulties die in police custody. this is thought to be the first time

a police force has admitted a health and safety breach in connection with a death in custody. thomas 0rchard's parents now hope all forces will review the way they use equipment like restraining belts so others are not put at risk. his family will now return for a separate hearing, where a judge will decide if the belt was the cause of thomas's death. duncan kennedy, bbc news, in bristol. mental health therapy is failing more people than it helps in one in seven areas of england, according to research carried out by the bbc. people with conditions including depression, anxiety and post—traumatic stress disorder are entitled to therapy, but not all are getting what they need. 0ur health editor hugh pym reports. lucy had a series of counselling sessions to try to help with her depression, but they ended. things got worse,

and she self—harmed. she believes more therapy would have helped, but she felt she'd been cast adrift. you tend to feel like you're a burden on people anyway. you tend to feel like you're a bit of a fraud, like it's all in your head, definitely not being referred onwards, not being taken seriously, made me feel more worthless, more like i was causing problems for everybody and more like i should reallyjust be able to pull myself together and get over it. i think it made me feel like the nhs had almost given up on me. the therapy programme in england is known as iapt. scotland and wales have similar schemes. the english target is for half of patients to recover after therapy. that is being met. but there's wide variation. in luton, just one in four patients were successfully treated at one stage this year. in the wirral area, it was one in three. but in nottingham west, nearly two in a three recovered and in stoke—on—trent, it was just over two in three. some experts say it's a workforce problem. we don't have enough iapt therapists, there are not enough people coming forward to train as iapt therapists.

and that affects the number of people that can be treated and how many sessions they might get. leading psychologists say the iapt mental health programme has helped hundreds of thousands of people overcome anxiety and depression. they acknowledge that more could be done to improve it in some areas. there's always been regional variation in mental health but we haven't known about it before because we haven't been measuring it before. but now that we can measure it, we can learn enormous amounts about how to reduce it and help the less good performing services to move up to the level of the others, and there has been big successes in that already. lucy is now in mental health writer and campaigner. she just wants to see more consistency in what is available through the nhs to help people navigate their mental health challenges. hugh pym, bbc news. and you can check nhs cancer, a&e, operations and mental health targets in your area by going to the bbc website and looking for our "nhs tracker".

yoga has been part of the duke and duchess of sussex's morning routine in australia as they continue their tour down under. harry and meghan went barefoot on bondi beach f11, and then there was a climb over sydney harbour bridge ahead of tomorrow's invictus games. 0ur royal correspondent jonny dymond was watching. the police in sydney don't normally dress like this, but on the city's legendary bondi beach today, things were far from normal. welcome to fluro friday, where surfing and yoga meets mindfulness. and harry and meghan. harry opened up to the group about his experiences. it's part of his big push to promote mental health. this is called an

anti—bad vibes circle. at the end, a group hug. the house of windsor brought the house down. yoga is part of the cure, and the duchess is a big fan. she told the yogis just how keen she is. she did say she does it every day, and she even got up at 4:30am this morning, completelyjet—lagged, and she is pregnant, so i understand how exhausting that can be, and she did yoga this morning at az30am. the duke went from beach to bridge. up he went, and up. and at the top, a new flag rose. this is the moment that the duke and duchess's trip to australia pivots, away from the walkabouts and the beaches and towards the biggest project of harry's life. this is the start of the countdown to the invictus games, the sporting celebration of wounded warriors. invictus is at the heart of harry's journey.

he has walked with the military. now, he will lead the games he created. jonny dymond, bbc news, sydney. looks glorious there. musonda how our weather is looking. good evening. with the skies clearing once again across many southern parts of the uk good evening. with the skies clearing once again across many southern parts of the uk and indeed the north, we have some mist and fog, particularly in southern areas where you have the moisture through the day. we do still have our weak weather front around, so it is not as cut and dried as to whether we will see much fog orfrost, but it will turn quite foggy. chilly for the glens of scotland, most certainly close to freezing in rural parts of southern england and wales, where it could be quite foggy as well and that fog could be quite thick around the east of wales and the midlands through tomorrow morning. for most of us, it does

lift and break, but it does take its time. it could be a while before it finally clears away. anyway, we have more cloud further north. it is a moisture—laden south—westerly breeze, not a particularly cold direction. we could see some breaks in the cloud east and also we will see temperatures of 16 or 17 and more widely that temperature in the sun further south. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... 20 men are found guilty of being part of a grooming gang that abused girls as young as 11 in and around huddersfield. 0n on one occasion, she came home and her neck was completely black with bytes from one side to the other. a taxi had just pull up outside and pushed her out. radical islamist preacher anjem choudary is released from prison on licence and is now at a bail hostel. more than two weeks after journalist jamal khashoggi

went missing, the former head of mi6 says he has little doubt that the saudi regime ordered his killing. more now on our top story, the news that 20 men have been found guilty of their involvement in a grooming gang that raped and abused girls in huddersfield over a seven year period. earlier the head of a charity which has been providing support for the families over the past ten years told bbc look north's harry gration about the lifelong impact these crimes can have. this is a long journey that they have been through and i'm afraid the aftermath could go on for years and yea rs. aftermath could go on for years and years. reason families completely in conflict as a result of what is going on at home. the child comes back, they bring all the trauma of what they have been through back into the family, bringing a lot of conflict and i think families are

having to cope with that and work out how to keep their child safe, get that information across to the authorities and make sure this is not happening so we know that trauma will go on for many years to come. what can parents and guardians do in this situation? what should a lookout for? when a child's behaviour suddenly changes, they become more aggressive, they become more withdrawn, they become even more withdrawn, they become even more attached to their mobile phone ina more attached to their mobile phone in a normally would, they have possessions that are very expensive which no one else has bought them. all kinds of signs that show that might be something going on and in those instances, families often come to ask our organisation, and we help guide them. what they really should dare they are worried legal lease. these men were known as being what they were, really. should they not have been picked up so many years

earlier? halas, i'm in absolute agreement with that. we have been banging on the doors of the police. —— alas, i'm in agreement. we sledger barry sheerman who was very supportive. we have been struggling for many years and these families have been so brave and stuck through this, and we have got a debugger convictions have taken place. —— we spoke to barry sheerman. mps have said a ban on sales of new petrol and diesel cars should be brought forward by eight years, to 2032 — to encourage the take—up of electric vehicles. the business select committee says the government's plans to make sure all new cars are effectively zero emission are "vague and unambitious" as theo leggett reports. 0ur city streets are heavily polluted and traffic takes much of the blame. clamp—down on older, dirty vehicles has already begun. from april next year, all but the most recent diesel cars and vans, and many petrol models, will have to be pay £12.50 a day to enter central london, on top of other charges. other cities, including

birmingham and bath, have similar plans. the government wants to ban the sale of conventional diesel powered and petrol powered cars and vans by 20110, and make sure that all new models are effectively zero emission. the committee wants the target brought forward by eight years, and all the government to reverse a decision to reduce the grants available to owners of electic cars. it's already expensive to buy electric vehicle because it is new technology. the costs will come down, but we think it is right to have some incentives to get people to shift to electric vehicles because we need to improve our air quality, we need to reduce our carbon emissions and that grant is one of those things that was encouraging the take—up of electric vehicles. sales of electric cars have been rising fast. but they still make up a tiny percentage of the market. plug—in hybrids, which abnormal engines that can run on electric power for short distances, also have a very small share. with more than 31

million cars on the road, phasing out petrol and diesel will certainly be a challenge. mps also say they want the government to do more to promote the creation of charging infrastructure, which they say isn't fit for purpose. and they say there's no point having a lot more of these if you still haven't got enough of these. although the number of charging points in cities is growing quickly, many rural areas still have very few. there is widespread agreement that many more will be needed. electric is the future. so the challenge is how do we make electric possible? that means rolling out the charging points, which will encourage manufacturers to manufacture more cars, if they know people are going to buy them because people no longer have that range anxiety. the government has not responded to the criticisms directly. a spokesman said it wanted the uk to be the best place in the world to build and own

an electric vehicle, and outlined measures for a major improvement in charging infrastructure. theo leggett, bbc news. earlier we spoke to the head of politics at greenpeace, rebecca newsom, about the report. we thought it was very significant in that the committee now are adding their voice alongside the chorus of a whole load of other now expert group is calling on the government to raise ambition on electric vehicles are not only have this committee said this but the national infrastructure commission, the national grid, energy commission and on climate change are all calling for more urgent action and this is a necessary thing, both in terms of tackling climate change and the urgency of that crisis, but also from a business and jobs perspective. we can secure a place in the global market. they said it

was an ambitious than maybe it is just a case of being realistic about the transition of getting rid of the petrol and diesel cars and that transition to electric. there are hurdles there are, aren't there, to overcome? calendars. hugely. there are significant things in your common to deliver this. it is important to remember that what we are calling for is more ambition avenue next decade. we still have at 8-10 avenue next decade. we still have at 8—10 years to deliver what the committee today are saying. the steps we will see to deliver a lack of leadership from the national government on rolling out electric vehicle charging infrastructure and also maintaining grants to allow people to purchase electric vehicles server that they help of the upfront costs a nd server that they help of the upfront costs and overtime, those costs come down. if you've been enjoying the latest series of autumnwatch on the bbc, you'll have seen images captured on cameras so sensitive that they can spot a mouse from a mile away.

the technology was developed for military use — and until recently was top secret. 0ur correspondent richard westcott has been to find out more. calais harbour, in france, shot on a camera that is 20 miles away in dover. a bite powerful enough to crack open this rich source of food. and no one had ever seen this before — jaguars hunting sea turtles at night. they are images captured on a thermal camera that was top secret until a few years ago, and it's made here in basildon. to give you an idea ofjust how sensitive the camera is, it can pick out changes in temperature down to 0.001 degrees. so, if i put my hands on my chest, like this, iam heating myjumper. and, hopefully, when i take them away, you will see that. let me introduce paul. hello, paul. hello, richard. i know you are out there

somewhere in the dark. we can even see a mouse from a mile away, searching for food in a ploughed field. wow, you can see a mouse in a field? yes, you wouldn't be able to identify what mouse species it is, but you can definitely tell it's a mouse running around. lights. paul is a wildlife enthusiast, and he was using the military camera to photograph owls at a local aerodrome when he got chatting to someone with connections at the bbc. he sent some of the footage off to the natural history unit in bristol and, within 48 hours, i had the producer on the phone — could he come down and see this kit? because it was so, so much of a leap forward to the technology they were using already. she is nervous. and this is why. the faint glow in the grass is her hidden baby. a leveret, just a day or two old. the team spent a year adapting the system from something that was hooked onto the front of an raf helicopter to something

that was portable enough for wildlife filmmakers. one of the reasons this camera has been able to capture previously unseen animal behaviour is that it can see a very, very long way away. if you compare it to our normal tv camera, that brown water tower on the horizon is six miles away. here's the view on the thermal—imaging cam. or how about these coffee—roasting chimneys? look at the heat coming off. finally, we used it to film a bbc reporter at a watering hole nearly a mile away. spot the heat from the coffee. just a few years ago, this camera was still a military secret. now, it's transforming the way we see the natural world. richard westcott, bbc news, essex. the former deputy prime minister nick clegg has a newjob with the social media company, facebook. he's moving to california, to be the firm's communications head. it comes as facebook tries to repair the compa ny‘s reputation, amid controversy about transparency

and the role of fake news on the platform. the north east ambulance service is the first in the country to trial the use of body cameras on crews in the hope of cutting down the number of assaults. the move comes after a dramatic increase in attacks on paramedics. peter harris reports. this is what they put up with. in the back of cameras, the —— any back in ambulances, there are cameras to film it but much is hidden in homes as people try to treat the victims. paramedics have responded to a job thatis paramedics have responded to a job that is a c one which is where we believe there was cardiac arrest or

do you want to come up here, mark? jeff fairburn was after a good news story with the opening of his company's new brick factory near doncaster but things soon got awkward when he was asked about his £75 million bonus. think... yeah, i'd rather not talk about that. it has been well covered. you don't want to discuss that today? are there any lessons to be learned from that? it's the biggest bonus in the country. no? 0k, right, fine. i think that's really unfortunate, actually, that you've done that. this man is a dissatisfied persimmon homeowner in harrow where he was sold his property leasehold while neighbours later bought their homes with a more valuable freehold. well, i'm not surprised.

but i'm angry. i'm absolutely angry about this 75 million. basically this whole development is his bonus. if he can get a 75 million bonus, i don't understand why they can't give us a freehold for free. persimmon built the foundations for this pay controversy five years ago with a new long—term incentive scheme. for these bosses, the higher the share price the higher the bonus and, boy, did the share price soar. it was fuelled by the government's help to buy scheme which encourages first—time buyers onto the property ladder. it was this which helped push up demand, prices and persimmon's profits. there has been no comment from the company or mr fairburn today, though he has previously said he would donate some of his bonus to charity.
