hope you canjoin us hope you can join us for that. good evening. 20 men have been found guilty of being part of a grooming gang that raped and abused girls in huddersfield over a 7—year period. the men, mostly of pakistani heritage, were convicted of more than 120 offences against 15 girls, the youngest of whom was just 11. the girls were plied with drink and drugs, and some were abandoned on the yorkshire moors. from leeds crown court, danny savage reports. a bus station. the car park of a diy 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 ibrar, 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 i started running. i jumped over the fence and i 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.

one 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's so much moorland up here, they can be anywhere, can people. this farmer vividly remembers 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 was three girls, that obviously looked roughed up and confused. they didn't know where they were and they asked could they come in and could i help them? and what was the impression you got of what had happened to them? it looked like they'd been knocked about by somebody, something funny... something very suspicious had happened, i could tell by their hair, it was everywhere

and they were just... 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 itjust drove off. i changed my hours so i could pick her up after school. i used to dread bank holidays, when i knew she was going to be at home and i couldn't monitor her. victims and their families said they repeatedly told west yorkshire police what was happening here, but no arrests were made until years later. today, the force refused to answer criticism from the prosecution that their conduct was disgraceful. the local council says it all happened when child sexual exploitation was effectively ignored. 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. most of the men so far sentenced for this litany of abuse have each been jailed for at least 15 years. another four defendants will be sentenced next month. danny savage, bbc news, west yorkshire. the former head of m16, sirjohn sawers, has said he has little doubt that the order to kill the journalist jamal khashoggi came from the highest level 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 secretary, jeremy hunt, has warned of consequences if mr khashoggi has been murdered. our middle east editor jeremy bowen has this report. a forest near istanbul is the latest

scene in this game of thrones for the 21st century. turkish police reportedly searched here for the dismembered body of jamal khashoggi. the saudi journalist has not been seen since he went into his country's consulate in istanbuljust over a fortnight ago. the accusation is that he was killed on the order of crown prince mohamed bin salman. the de facto ruler of saudi arabia. he has tried to reassure the americans and other allies, but it is looking thin. this appalling killing in istanbul seems to be all the evidence points to it being ordered and carried out by people close to mohammed bin salman, the crown prince of saudi arabia. i don't think he would have done this if he had not thought he had licence from the us administration to frankly behave as he wished

to do so. the allegations facing prince mohammed bin salman are based on circumstantial evidence and leaks from turkish security, but there is also hard evidence that he is reckless. for three years, he's been fighting a war in yemen, disastrous for civilians and the international standing of saudi arabia. his blockade of qatar, saudi arabia's tiny neighbour, was ill thought out and ineffective and while he gave saudi women more rights, he has locked up women who have campaigned for the right to drive. the prince has shown himself to be a young man in a hurry, intolerant of criticism. this man, maher mutreb, is one of the prince's top security officials. cctv pictures show him in istanbul on the day that mr khashoggi disappeared. it was one of many leaks from the turkish government, one of the latest, indirectly confirmed by the foreign minister, is that they have a recording of mr khashoggi being killed and dismembered.

how did it happen, he asked? who is responsible? of course we have some information and evidence. turkey's president erdogan visited king salman, father of the crown prince, in saudi arabia in 2015. the two countries are on opposite sides of the argument in many middle east disputes, and now turkey is manoeuvring to take advantage of saudi weakness. prince mohammed bin salman, only 33, has been welcomed at downing street as well as the white house, seen in the west as the great saudi hope for the next half—century. time to think again? if the stories that we are reading turn out to be true, will that have an effect on our relationship with saudi arabia? yes, it will. because if the stories are true and it is still an if, they will be totally against our values and what we stand for as a country. jamal khashoggi was a loyal critic of his country,

the manner of what seems to be his death is damaging the saudi regime more than anything he ever wrote. jeremy bowen, bbc news. just to update you on this story, we are getting some news at bbc, unverified reports coming from a riyadh and also istanbul. saudi state tv are reporting that saudi arabia has now confirmed that jamal khashoggi is indeed dead. this follows a fight that had broken out between the journalist and the people, no indication of who that is, who met him in the consulate. and it is this that led to his death. to reiterate, this coming to us death. to reiterate, this coming to us from saudi state tv. we also understand that earlier this evening

there had been a second phone call that had ta ken there had been a second phone call that had taken place between tu rkey‘s that had taken place between turkey's president 0 began —— erdogan and king salman. saudi arabia saying that investigations are under way, this coming to us from the reuters news agency, investigations are still and at 18 saudi nationals nationals have been arrested so far —— and that. the investigation continues with 18 saudis arrested. this coming to us from reuters and saudi state tv. so confirmation dead bat jamal khashoggi is indeed dead and he died following a fight that broke out when he visited the consulate. no indication of who the fight was with. but we understand it has just been described as "people". this coming from state tv, a saudi state tv, unconfirmed so far, but reuters

news agency also reporting this. when we get more detail we will bring it to you. 18 saudi nationals have been arrested. an investigation continues, so says saudi arabia's public prosecutor. you are watching 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' club photos like this before britain leaves. but now, mrs may has been handed a set of politically 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 mutinous tories and angry unionists. brussels' chief negotiator took to french radio to say britain was behind its own problems. brexit has numerous consequences, it was chosen by the british, he said. and at home today, the consequences included her scottish secretary openly demanding no extension to eu fishing rules in scotland. what i want to be quite clear is that we are still leaving the common fisheries policy at the end of 2020. so, resistance to brexit, compromise on a possible extension, has spread to scotland. the scottish tories want scottish fishing fleets free of eu rules and quotas. at westminster, tories on all sides hate the idea of extending the brexit transition, with its 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 confidence that we will leave if they can't get a deal. what we cannot countenance is the idea that the european union has to give us permission before we leave. but mrs may is sticking to the hope she will never need to lengthen the brexit transition. her aim is a trade deal without 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. and harder still to get past her party. once supportive or at least tolerant tory mps now say they are impatient that a vote of confidence in her leadership now looks more likely. and even if she survived that, she would likely emerge damaged, politically weakened. there is also more muttering amongst tories about the succession, who in the cabinet and who outside is manoeuvring for a future contest and who tory mps want next. brexit was always about high principles of sovereignty. it's coming down to the lower politics of power, plotting

and political survival. john pienaar, bbc news, downing street. the islamist preacher anjem choudary has been been released from prison on licence. he has 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 not heard. he's 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 counter—extremism

specialists. he's become hardened in his own extremism and in his own radicalised opinions. there have been numerous attempts to try to de—radicalise choudary as part of the pastoral care service with imams in prison services — they've got nowhere. the whole world one day, my dear brothers, will be under the sharia, including hackney and walthamstow and moscow and new york, all of the country, insha'allah, under the thumb of the muslims... for two decades, anjem choudary was clear about the world he wanted to see. a master manipulator, it was at the centre of a network of violent extremists. michael adebolajo was one of the pair who murdered fusilier lee rigby. another choudary disciple is suspected of being part of an is killing squad. the former head of counter—terrorism 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. and 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. choudary will be subject to a long list of conditions, and supervising him will cost a lot of public money. as part of the restrictions, he'll have to wear 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's banned from meeting anyone with a terror connection. and he'll have to get permission to go on the internet. i've worked with a lot of families and one of the families i work with, he's absolutely ruined their lives, one of their kids has been killed in syria, one of the nephews has been killed in syria, her daughter was about to abscond to syria, the family is upside down. he's responsible for that so he shouldn't have been released

in such a short time. as the law stands, he was eligible for release now. and the restrictions on him will last only a couple of years. june kelly, bbc news. at least 60 people have died near the indian city of amritsar, after a train ran over a group of festival—goers. prime minister narendra modi says it is a "heart—wrenching tragedy". richard lister‘s report contains some flashing and distressing images. fireworks and a burning effigy at a hindu festival in amritsar. people have gathered on the railway tracks. the noise was so great that they did not hear the train. it ploughed right through them, leaving carnage in its wake. grief stricken friends and families sat with the bodies, profoundly shocked at the lives taken in one terrible moment. many others were injured. it is still not clear exactly how many casualties there were. some people took bodies away before

the authorities arrived. the police commissioner said that the track was very close to the festival location and their priority was to get the injured to hospital. an enquiry is now under way, but the risks presented by india's rail network are well known and this is just the latest in a long history of accidents. the headlines on bbc news: saudi state media has confirmed that the journalists jamal khashoggi was killed in saudi arabia's consulate in istanbul. 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. devon and cornwall police has

admitted breaking health and safety laws, following the death of a church caretaker. thomas orchard, who was 32 and had schizophrenia, died in hospital a week after he suffered a cardiac arrest at an exeter police station in 2012. officers used an emergency restraining belt, but the force hasn't accepted that the belt led directly to mr orchard's death. duncan kennedy reports. for thomas orchard's parents today's court case was the latest hearing in the six years since his death. it was in exeter that thomas, a paranoid sick —— skipper phrenic was arrested after shouting at passers—by. —— —— schizophrenic. 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 fourth roque one health and safety law regarding training, but not the baht had caused thomas's death. it is only right to plead guilty on behalf of devon and cornwall police to discharge. however —— to this charge. however legal matters remain outstanding as to whether this health and the breach caused the death of thomas. thomas orchard's family welcomed that admission and says it does not 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 to justice the thomas and are committed to

doing all we can to reduce the shamefulfrequency 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 health and safety breach in connect in —— connection with a death in custody. thomas orchard's parents now hope all forces will review the way they used equipment like restraining belt so that 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' death. just to bring you an update on our breaking news concerning the missing journalist jamal khashoggi, he breaking news concerning the missing journalistjamal khashoggi, he has been missing since the second of october, it can see him entering the saudi consulate in istanbul. tonight we have had confirmation from saudi

on me. the therapy programme in england is similar to that in scotla nd england is similar to that in scotland and wales. the english target is for half of patients to recover after therapy, but there is wide variation in results. in luton just one in four patients were successfully treated this year. in wirral it was one in three but in nottingham west it was just over two in three recovering and in stoke—on—trent it was just over two in three. there are not enough therapists, there are not enough trainers coming forward, and that affects many people can be treated and how many sessions they might get. leading psychologists say the mental health programme has helped hundreds of thousands of people ove rco m e hundreds of thousands of people overcome anxiety and depression. they are knowledge that more could be done to improve it in some areas. there has always been regional variation in mental health but we have not known about it because we have not known about it because we have not known about it because we

have not been measuring it. but now that we can measure it we can learn enormous amount of how to reduce it and how to help the less good learning services move up the level of the others. and there has been big success in that already. —— less good performing. lucy is elemental health writer and campaigner. she wa nts to health writer and campaigner. she wants to see more consistency in what is available through the nhs to help people navigate their mental health challenges. 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, and then there was a climb over sydney harbour bridge — on the eve of the invictus games. our royal correspondentjonny dymond is following the royal couple. 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 fluoro friday, where surfing and yoga meets mindfulness.
