boy has also been 14—year—old boy has also been sentenced but he can't be named for legal reasons and he has been detained for a legal reasons and he has been detained fora minimum legal reasons and he has been detained for a minimum of 15 years. thejudge said logan detained for a minimum of 15 years. the judge said logan was completely defenceless against those who killed him, and that it was impossible to imagine the terror he endured as injuries were inflicted upon him. the trial earlier this year it lasted two months, and throughout it, all 12jurors lasted two months, and throughout it, all 12 jurors sat and listened two weeks and weeks of evidence. at times it was very distressing. one of them was doctorjocelyn, and she has chosen to speak out about her experiences. she said she has been left traumatised by what she has heard. i would cry most days until i got to court and i would be set in my car, thinking i don't want to go in. with every fibre of my being, i don't want to go in. but i knew i had to

do and i had a duty to do that. for two months earlier this year, dr joselyn sellen�*s life came to a standstill. she was a juror in a harrowing case, the murder of logan mwangi, along with 11 others, just normal people like me and you, she had to listen two weeks of evidence of how the little boy was cruelly punished, brutally beaten and how his body was then dumped in a river. when i first heard the opening prosecution, i was distressed. i think we had to stop at that point. the hardest day was the following day with the clinical evidence from the paediatrician, when she was describing how logan would have been in life and how his final hours would have been. your imagination will take you to very dark places when you are hearing that kind of evidence. idr when you are hearing that kind of evidence. , , , ,, when you are hearing that kind of evidence. , g , ,, , ., evidence. dr joselyn sellen is a psychologist — evidence. dr joselyn sellen is a psychologist trained _ evidence. dr joselyn sellen is a psychologist trained to - evidence. dr joselyn sellen is a psychologist trained to help - evidence. dr joselyn sellen is a - psychologist trained to help people with their mental well—being, but through all of this she couldn't talk about the case with anyone. it is something jurors are told at the start of any case. i

mother, the stepfather, john cole, and a 14—year—old boy had locked logan mwangi in his room because he had covid. thejudge said what logan mwangi in his room because he had covid. the judge said what they had covid. the judge said what they had done was extreme, keeping him to himself for 2h hours a day for a number of days, they had beaten him and then killed him and they had dumped his bodyjust like dumped his body just like fly—tipping dumped his bodyjust like fly—tipping in the local riverjust a few hundred metres away from where they lived. thejudge a few hundred metres away from where they lived. the judge then today has sentenced all three, the mother, angharad williamson, 228 years, stepfatherjohn cole, a0 years old, 229 years and the 1a—year—old to any minimum term of 15 years. logan's body was found with 56 injuries, some of them so severe that they were described by some of the medical staff as things that you would normally witness or... inaudible. apologies, we have lost the sound to tomos morgan there, but there will be more reaction from cardiff crown court in the coming hours.

where the suspect is a serving officer, but denied perpetrators within the force were "getting away with it". the report identified "systemic weaknesses" in police response to these cases, and found that victims lacked confidence in the impartiality of the police. are home affairs correspondent, gene kelly, has been looking at this report. kelly, has been looking at this re ort. , kelly, has been looking at this reort. , . , kelly, has been looking at this re ort, , ., , ., kelly, has been looking at this reort. , .,, ., , kelly, has been looking at this reort, , ., , ., , ., report. this was a strongly worded re ort report. this was a strongly worded report launched — report. this was a strongly worded report launched here _ report. this was a strongly worded report launched here by— report. this was a strongly worded report launched here by the - report launched here by the watchdogs at canary wharf and it followed what was called a super complaint which had been bought by the women's charity, the centre for women's justice. the women's charity, the centre for women'sjustice. they the women's charity, the centre for women's justice. they had the women's charity, the centre for women'sjustice. they had become concerned about the number of stories they had heard from women who had made allegations of domestic abuse against police officers or police staff and the treatment they had received. for example, one woman said her statement had been read by the suspect, who was her husband. now, the report says there needs to be with improvements in a number of areas, including round impartiality, is that case illustrates. also they say there needs to be a much sharper

focus on victims and the challenges they face when they make complaints against police officers. and also, they say that if there isn't going to be a criminal prosecution, there needs to be a better way of conducting this conduct investigations, which they say is not happening at the moment in some cases. now, in terms of criminal prosecutions, they found that the rate of prosecutions against police officers was only slightly lower thanit officers was only slightly lower than it is for the general public. having said that, the rate generally is very low. as for the future, they make a number of recommendations, including they say some cases could be passed to outside forces. the centre for women's justice wanted all cases to go to outside forces, but the watchdogs say they don't think this is necessary. june kelly there. let's speak now to harriet wistrich — the director of the centre for women'sjustice. thank you very much for being with us. it was your organisation that brought this so—called super complaint, just explain why you did.

well, basically, we heard about... well, basically, we heard about... we started receiving examples of cases where women had been in a relationship or marriage to a police officer, some who had actually themselves been in the police, who have found that the way in which... well, they were fearful of reporting, but if they did report, the way in which their case was investigated was sometimes wholly unsatisfactory and sometimes there are examples of collusion and of police officers using their powers inappropriately and many, many of the cases didn't go anywhere and in some cases women were subjected to adverse police action, including being arrested themselves and, you know, if they were police officers also being subject themselves to misconduct proceedings. so the position for police officer

complainants is particularly problematic because they have no... no automatic right to complain, if a case doesn't result in a criminal charge and misconduct proceedings won't necessarily be brought. this is something that the super complaint report highlighted and found that only less than a0% of cases reported went to a misconduct investigation, which is a very low proportion. 50 investigation, which is a very low proportion-— investigation, which is a very low --roortion. ., ., proportion. so what is your reaction to the report _ proportion. so what is your reaction to the report that _ proportion. so what is your reaction to the report that denied _ proportion. so what is your reaction to the report that denied that - to the report that denied that perpetrators were in the force were getting away with it?— getting away with it? well, it does make some _ getting away with it? well, it does make some useful— getting away with it? well, it does i make some useful recommendations getting away with it? well, it does - make some useful recommendations for reform, but we are disappointed that it didn't institute a properly independent reporting mechanism. you can imagine, if you are married to a

police officer, particularly in a smallish local force, trying to report his behaviour, and we know how domestic abusers can often be sort of veryjekyll and hyde —type characters, you know, appear to be your mate. if their own colleagues are investigating them, the women have no confidence to report. most women would be very, very fearful of reporting. one the findings actually of this investigation was that only six women out of 10a that they had looked at who had previously reported domestic abuse would ever consider doing so again, which shows the level of lack of confidence in the level of lack of confidence in the system to deal with domestic abuse. and, you know, there should be zero tolerance of domestic abusers in the police. in some cases, we have even heard of police officers accused being promoted or

being put in positions where they are dealing with vulnerable witnesses and, you know, as we have seen with the wind cousins case, a lack of effective vetting of police officers who had been accused of violence against women. —— in the wind cousins case. when cousins obviously being the most extreme example. but there is very serious examples we heard about in the super complaint, as we illustrated, and in the subsequent work since we submitted that super complaint two years ago and we have been contacted by over 165 women who have had really bad experiences of trying to report and sometimes being very seriously victimised by police officers. �* , ., seriously victimised by police officers. , . ., officers. are you optimistic that havin: officers. are you optimistic that having highlighted _ officers. are you optimistic that having highlighted this - officers. are you optimistic that having highlighted this issue, i having highlighted this issue, having highlighted this issue, having seen now the outcome of an investigation, that police forces will take this issue more seriously? i mean, the findings suggested that in some cases the cases could be

concerned not to have domestic abusers in the force and would be seeking to put in measures, but, you know, we wait to see how effective that isn't how across the board it is. but yes, it is a mixed bag in summary, really. it highlights the issue, there have been some measures to improve, but we think it should go a lot further. and the actual investigation itself wasn't able to look at some of the most serious allegations that we have heard about because, although it did sort of file reviews and dip sampling and things like that, it didn't, it wasn't able to look at investigation into actual cases, where collusion or corruption has been alleged. we know that to most abusers... sorry.

no, harriet wistrich, we are at a time, but thank you very much. harriet wistrich, the director for centre for women's justice there, thank you very much. the uk is giving ukraine an extra billion pounds in military aid — almost doubling british support for the fight against russia. the uk is the second biggest donor to ukraine after the united states, and borisjohnson says it's "transforming ukraine's defences". well, since russia's invasion, the uk has sent a total of £3.8 billion to ukraine — that includes both military and humanitarian aid. the latest promise of help comes on the final day of the nato summit in madrid, where the alliance has agreed to strengthen its forces in eastern europe. meanwhile, ukraine is claiming to have seized the strategically important snake island in the black sea — russia insists its forces have just withdrawn from there as a gesture of goodwill. frank gardner has this report. training for a while that is already happening. ukrainian soldiers on salisbury plain part of a package of

hello, bridgwater surgery. how can i help? for many patients, getting through to a gp surgery has become more difficult since lockdown was lifted. is that medically urgent for today? demand has bounced back strongly. at the same time, there is a shortage of family doctors and nurses across much of the uk. this report says in england alone the situation is likely to get worse with one in four gp posts unfilled by the end of the decade. the government has announced multiple times a commitment to increase the number of gps by 6,000. they are actually not on track to deliver that, but even if they were, that's not enough because the demand for gp services over this decade is due to increase by about a fifth. we've got many more old people and we need general practice to do more. the number of students starting medical training has increased, but gps say that's being offset by an even greater rise in qualified doctors leaving or cutting back their hours. the pressures that gps are experiencing are resulting in more gps, even sometimes

at quite a young age, leaving the workforce, retiring early, and a growing number of gps who are working part—time in orderto maintain their own mental health, in order to keep them in the workforce. the government says it has made an extra half a billion pounds available to improve gp access. nhs england is now working on a long—term workforce strategy to try and boost the number of doctors in the profession. jim reed, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello. sunshine and showers day across the uk today. downpour is that the heaviest out in the west, temperatures on the cool side in those wetter moments, 16—17 , could get up to 19 celsius this evening, some eastern areas where there will be fewer showers. the cloud breaks later and that is a more persistent rain heading toward shetland tonight

may be some heavy off and we downpours in east england. clear skies did, down to single figures for the night, mostly down to 10 degrees as we start through friday. through friday some heavy thunder we showers spreading through east england, more persistent rain in orkney and shetland, but really a sunny story which i was breaking out, heaviest in the north and east on friday, more places dry in the west until we see more persistent rain arriving in northern ireland later in the day. that will bring showers right across the country on saturday. sunday be dry day of the weekend and probably feeling a touch warmer as well. —— the drier day the weekend.

the former snp mp natalie mcgarry has beenjailed for embezzling almost £25,000 from the party and from a pro—independence group.mcgarrry has been sentenced to two years in prison. let's speak to our correspondent catriona renton. tell us more about this case. it lasted for six weeks in glasgow and it ended last month when she was found guilty of embezzling almost £20,000 from a charity called women for independence. she was in the founding members of the charity and the glasgow regional association of the glasgow regional association of the snp, she took £a600 from them. today natalie gcgarry was sentenced at glasgow court, and a sheriff told her she had lied to others and deceive colleagues and the charges were very serious taking place over a long period of time and he said she had fallen well short of the standards expected of a politician in public office. now the background

to this case, natalie mcgarry is a rising star in the scottish national party. she volunteered to run the finances of this campaign group women for independence in the run—up to the referendum in 201a. she was then elected as an snp mp for the glasgow east constituency in 2015. but six months later, she resigned the whip and it became known she was being investigated for fraud. the whip and it became known she was being investigated forfraud. women for independence realised thousands of pounds were missing from their accounts. they got the police to investigate and then this other organisation the glasgow regional association of the snp discovered they had lost £a600. as we head, there was a trial that lasted six weeks and in that trial we were shown bank accounts, shown money going in and money going out, many immediately coming into the bank account natalie mcgarry and going out to pay rent, loans, pay for shopping, even a holiday to spain.

natalie mcgarry has told the court she suffered over the last seven years and her life has been intolerable. she said she just wants a normal life and just wants to melt into the background but today, the sheriff decided a custodial sentence was the only option and he sentenced her to two years in prison. {lilia her to two years in prison. 0k, thank you _ her to two years in prison. 0k, thank you for— her to two years in prison. 0k, thank you for updating us on that story. the headlines on bbc news. a mother and stepfather have been given life sentences for murdering a five—year—old boy who died after months of imprisonment in his bridgend home. the police watchdog says forces need to improve how they respond to domestic abuse cases where the suspect as a serving officer. london's public health director urges anyone with monkeypox to skip the capitals pride events this weekend. more now on that story. london's public health

director is urging anyone with monkeypox symptoms not to attend any pride events this weekend but to stay home instead. professor kevin fenton told the bbc that gay and bisexual men especially need to be aware of unusual rashes or lesions. more than 1000 infections have been identified in the uk — the largest number outside of africa. our global health correspondent naomi grimley has more. london draped in rainbow flags, but this year's pride takes place against the backdrop of a monkeypox outbreak with the vast majority of infections in men who have sex with men. i didn't know much about monkeypox, but when they told me i thought the worst. it's a difficult subject to talk about, but dan, who's 31, wants to speak openly about the symptoms which includes a rash. so i started to get swollen down in my genitals and then also my glands in my throat, so my throat started swelling up and for a couple of days i found it quite hard to breathe at times. symptoms are usually mild but anyone can catch monkeypox through close contact. because so many of the current cases are in gay and bisexual men, health officials say clear messages are needed ahead of pride. if you think you may have monkeypox,

with blisters, fever, swollen glands, please don't go out over the weekend. stay at home, contact nhs111 or your local sexual health service for advice. if you are out and socialising and mixing, please be on the lookout for any signs and symptoms. before this spring, monkeypox was exclusively circulating in these african countries, where it's been endemic for years. since may, however, cases have been found in several countries which wouldn't normally expect to see the virus. and the uk has the most cases, with over 1000 recorded. there is a vaccine and queues have been forming outside new york's pop—up clinics. the uk is also offering it to men at higher risk. pride is first and foremost a party, but health officials want to be frank about a disease new to the uk. naomi grimley, bbc news.

and inquiry is beginning to the charity established in honour of the fundraiser and army veteran captain sir tom moore. the charity commission has been concerned about the management of the captain tom foundation and decisions which could have generated significant profit for a company run by his family. laura chant reports. inches to go. and there he is. congratulations! the images of captain sir tom moore that captured the nation's heart. sir tom walking 100 laps of his garden before his 100th birthday during the first covid lockdown. he raised £38 million for the nhs. that money was donated to nhs charities, and is not part of the inquiry. what is being looked into is the connection between the captain tom foundation and a company previously set up by his daughter, hannah ingram moore, and her husband colin. it's after the charity commission became concerned about what they said could be

a failure to consider intellectual property and trademark issues, which could have generated profit for his daughter's private company. something that has concerned us has been the arrangements between the charity and a company linked to the ingram moore family. we are formally investigating whether or not the trustees took the right decisions in managing those links, and making sure that the charity fulfilled their responsibilities in terms of the decisions that they took about those links, and any potential conflicts of interest between the family and the charity. the chairman of the captain tom foundation's board of trustees said it would work closely with the commission. in a statement, the family said neither hannah nor colin ingram moore were trustee directors of the captain tom foundation when it was formed, and the charity commission found no issues with its accounts published in february. laura trant, bbc news.

is really lawmakers voted are held in early national election. the knesset or parliament has been formally dissolved, and the election will be held on november the first. it will be the fifth election in israel in less than four years. japan is experiencing its worst heatwave since records began — with temperatures climbing above 35 degrees celsius. concerns are growing over a power shortage and people are being asked to save energy where possible. officials say the heat is likely to continue in the coming days. a source at buckingham palace says an inquiry into the handling of bullying claims made against the duchess of sussex will remain private and won't be published. lawyers for the duchess strongly denied the allegations, when they were made, about bullying of staff. the palace says the investigation has led to reforms in the way it's run. our royal correspondent sarah campbell reports. meghan, the duchess of sussex, back in the uk at a royal event

for the first time in two years. thejubilee weekend was a rare opportunity for the royals to get together in public, and in private. over the four—day weekend, prince charles met his granddaughter, lilibet, for the first time. the meeting was, according to a palace source, very emotional. while the sussexes were building a new life in california, over the past year an independent review was carried out by the palace's hr department using an outside legal team, after allegations surfaced that meghan had bullied two former members of staff while she was a working royal. allegations she strongly denied. the review, which was not paid for using public funds, has led to improvements to working practices, according to a senior royal source. but to maintain the confidentiality of all those who took part, no further details will be released. the sovereign grant is the annual report detailing the running costs of the working members of the royal family, including travel, staff costs and the upkeep of buildings. security costs are excluded. for 2021—22, the grant totalled

£86.3 million of public money, a slight increase on the previous year. the biggest spend, almost £55 million, was on the continued renovation of buckingham palace, a ten—year programme of works. it was the focal point of the platinum jubilee celebrations, and the costs were a0% higher than the previous year, as work was accelerated to get it ready for the jubilee weekend. foreign travel was also back on the books after a lull during the pandemic. the cambridges' at times controversial nine—day trip to the caribbean in march, was the most expensive royal trip, costing £226,000. despite her mobility issues, the queen has still managed to carry out 201 engagements over the past year, many of them virtual. but as was evident in scotland this week, she appears determined to get on with the job. sarah campbell, bbc news.

two female cyclists have claimed that transgender athletes are still competing in british cycling women's events despite suspending their policy that is meant to stop that happening. it comes as the government has urged all governing bodies to ensure women's sport is "reserved for people born of the female sex". supporters of transgender inclusion say that is "extremely damaging". jane dougall reports it's soul destroying. i feel crushed. no matter how hard you train, how hard you try, you're just never going to be able to beat that person. never going to be able to beat that erson. , ., ., ., person. these women are not elite athletes. person. these women are not elite athletes- itut _ person. these women are not elite athletes. but they _ person. these women are not elite athletes. but they are _ person. these women are not elite athletes. but they are british i athletes. but they are british number one is in their respective cycling categories. competing at a national level. and recently they've lost ranking points and prize money to trans women. i felt totally destroyed, because i should have, as a biological woman, had that place on the podium. i don't want anyone to feel like i do right now. it has a domino effect on everybody.

they don't want to be named for fear of backlash and we are also protecting the identity of the trans woman, but there is confusion. in april, trans—athlete emily bridges was blocked from competing in a women's national championship saying the decision had led to targeted abuse. british cycling then voted for an immediate suspension of its tra nsgender participation policy. however, these women say trans—athletes are still racing against them. this was a national level competition. it just felt like the policy wasn't kind of worth the paper it was written on, so i did make a formal complaint. british cycling have responded, saying the policy only applies to new applicants and that existing licence holders remain unaffected by the suspension of the policy, provided the requirements in place at the time of application were met. the women claimed there was no mention of this before they complained and it's not specified in the original suspension statement. it's a pivotal time in the debate

on trans inclusion, with the culture secretary nadine dorries saying other sports should replicate swimming's decision to ban trans—athletes in women's categories. she tweeted. .. her words have infuriated trans—athletes and allies. excluding people from the category that they identify as, i feel is extremely damaging. we need to be making sure that trans and non—binary people are still welcome in sport at every level and we will be far richer and a better society for including everyone in the category of sex or gender that they identify as. british cycling is just one of many governing bodies having to make a choice between inclusion and fairness. these cyclists say they just want clarity for everyone. jane dougall, bbc news. lots more coming up in the next hour

this is bbc news. iam i am samantha simmonds. the headlines: a mother and stepfather have been given life sentences for murdering a five—year—old boy, who died after months of imprisonment in his bridgend home. the impact logan's death has had and continues to have on all those who loved him and knew him within the local community is immeasurable. the police watchdog says forces need to improve how they respond to domestic abuse cases where the suspect is a serving officer. london's public health director urges anyone with monkeypox to skip the capital's pride events this weekend. the uk promises another £1 billion to ukraine to help it fight the war against russia. an investigation is underway into the charity set up in honour of the fundraiser and army veteran,

captain sir tom moore. a mother and stepfather have been given life sentences for murdering a five—year—old boy. logan mwangi's body was dumped in a river near his home in sarn in bridgend. logan had suffered multiple internal injuries and was treated like a prisoner in his own home in the days before his death. judgejustice before his death. judge justice jefford before his death. judgejustice jefford said logan was completely defenceless against those who killed him and it was impossible to imagine the terror he endured as injuries were inflicted on him. our correspondent, tomos morgan, is that cardiff crown court. let our correspondent, tomos morgan, is that cardiff crown court.— that cardiff crown court. let me “ust take that cardiff crown court. let me just take you — that cardiff crown court. let me just take you back _ that cardiff crown court. let me just take you back to _ that cardiff crown court. let me just take you back to how i that cardiff crown court. let me just take you back to how this i that cardiff crown court. let me i just take you back to how this story started back injuly of last year.

it all started with a phone call to the police by angharad williamson, logan mwangi's mother. she called them hysterically, saying that her five—year—old son had gone missing. body cam footage later by police when they entity home later that morning showed a family in real distress, the mother, stepfather, john cole, and a 1a—year—old boy clearly worried about logan mwangi. but any background you could also hear the washing on, the first signs that potentially things were not all what they seemed in this household. and it turns out that that phone call, their mannerisms, their expression at the time were all a complete facade. they were lying. they had kept logan mwangi trapped in his room. he was suffering with covid already, but they trapped him there, beat him, killed him and then dumped his body in a riverjust a few hundred metres away from where they lived in sarn in bridgend in south wales. when he heard of the death of his son, logan mwangi's

father, benjamin, said... well, his life now was a colder and darker place without the smile of his son and it has affected... the effect on his life has been devastating. logan had suffered 56 injuries to his body. thejury had suffered 56 injuries to his body. the jury heard some horrific medical detail about how those injuries had affected him. some of them was so severe they were akin to them was so severe they were akin to the same as one would have if they were in a car crash orfallen the same as one would have if they were in a car crash or fallen from a great height. and actually, one juror has contacted the bbc afterwards and has done an interview talking about the effect it has had on her, calling for more support for jurors when they are in trials with such terrific testimony being read out. after sentence was read out here, south wales police gave a statement on the steps here in cardiff crown court. ben and his family have demonstrated incredible strength throughout. what they have been through is hard to comprehend, but they have endured everything with tremendous courage and dignity at this

most difficult time. the impact logan's death has had and continues to have on all those who loved him and knew him within the local community is immeasurable. knowing thatjustice has been done for logan, i hope that they can now begin to rebuild their lives and celebrate the joy that he gave them during the precious time they had with him. once again, i would like to pay tribute to the professionalism shown by police officers and emergency services colleagues who were faced with the most traumatic scenes imaginable back injuly last year. i would also like to thank my team of detectives and staff, who have worked tirelessly on this investigation, together with the crown prosecution service and prosecution counsel. the efforts of all involved have contributed to today's outcome. now, in sentencing the judge said that she _ now, in sentencing the judge said that she didn't accept much of the evidence — that she didn't accept much of the evidence that was given by angharad williamson and john cole throughout this trial, _ williamson and john cole throughout

which at times was very distressing. one of them was drjoselyn sellen and she's chosen to speak about her experiences. she says she's been left traumatised by what she has heard. she spoke to nelli bird. i would cry most days until i got to court and i would be sat in my car, thinking, "i don't want to go in. with every fibre of my being, "i don't want to go in." but i knew i had to and i had a duty to do that. for two months earlier this year, joselyn sellen's life came to a standstill. she was a juror in a harrowing case — the murder of logan mwangi. along with 11 others — just normal people like me and you — she had to listen to weeks of evidence of how the little boy was cruelly punished, brutally beaten and how his body was then dumped in a river. when i first heard the opening prosecution, i was distressed. i think we had to stop at that point. the hardest day was the following day with the clinical evidence from the paediatrician,

when she was describing how logan would have been in life and how his final hours would have been. your imagination will take you to very dark places when you are hearing that kind of evidence. joselyn is a psychologist trained to help people with their mental well—being, but through all of this she couldn't talk about the case with anyone. it is something jurors are told right at the start of any case. i felt as if my normal life was completely hijacked. so, i am a single parent, i live with my 15—year—old daughter. there were several times that she... she was studying for her gcse mocks. several times she was sat holding me while i was crying inconsolably. nightmares, intrusive thoughts, difficulty sleeping — difficulty getting to sleep, waking up. i still hear children or i see children and it will still take me back. it is really unusual for a juror to speak out about their experiences,

but the impact of whatjoselyn heard here at cardiff crown court means she wants things to change. she has now written to the court telling them that the support she received was wholly inadequate and inappropriate. all it would take would be one person, one therapist, one person who is trained in trauma therapy who is able to understand the nature of that kind of evidence. and to expectjurors to be able to make those kinds of decisions... ..when you are in a state of secondary trauma, i think, is really unfair, i think that is deeply unfair. in a statement, a spokesman for her majesty's courts and tribunal service said... after the verdict, the judge told jurors they would never have to do jury service again because of the traumatic nature of the case. joselyn is relieved about that,

but hopes that by speaking out she can make a change for others in the future. a report into how police forces in england and wales deal with allegations of domestic abuse against their staff has been published. it follows a super complaint made by the centre for women's justice. watchdogs have found that police need to improve how they respond to domestic abuse cases where the suspect is a serving officer, but denied perpetrators within the force were "getting away with it." the report identified "systemic weaknesses" in police response to these cases, and found that victims lacked confidence in the impartiality of the police. our home affairs correspondent, june kelly, has been looking at the report.

it was a strongly worded report which was launched here by the watchdog at canary wharf and it followed what is called a super complaint, which had been brought by the campaigning women charity, the centre for women's justice. they had become concerned about the number of stories they were hearing from women who had made allegations of domestic abuse against police officers or police staff and the treatment they had received. for example, one woman said that her statement had been read by the suspect, who was her husband. now, the report says there needs to be improvements in a number of areas, including around impartiality, as that case illustrates. also they say that needs to be a much sharper focus on victims and the challenges they face when they make complaints against police officers. and also they say that if there isn't going to be a criminal prosecution, there needs to be a better way of conducting a misconduct investigation which they say is not happening at the moment in some cases. now, in terms of criminal prosecutions, they found that the rate of prosecutions against police officers is only slightly lower than it is for the general public. having said that, the rate generally is very low. and as for the future, they make

a number of recommendations, including, they say, some cases could be passed to outside forces. now, the centre for women's justice want all cases to go to outside forces, but the watchdog say they don't think this is necessary. earlier on we spoke to harriet wistrich, director of women's charity — the centre for women's justice — about some of the cases she has been told about. sometimes there are examples of collusion and of police officers using their powers inappropriately, and many, many of the cases didn't go anywhere and in some cases women were subject to adverse police action, including being arrested themselves and, you know, if they were police officers also being subject themselves to misconduct proceedings. so the position for a police officer complainants, particularly problematic because

they have no automatic right to complain, if a case doesn't result in a criminal charge and misconduct proceedings won't necessarily be brought. this is something that the super complaint report highlighted and found that only less than a0% of cases reported went to a misconduct investigation. which, is a very low proportion. 50 investigation. which, is a very low proportion-— investigation. which, is a very low --roortion. ., ., proportion. so what is your reaction to the report _ proportion. so what is your reaction to the report that _ proportion. so what is your reaction to the report that denied _ proportion. so what is your reaction to the report that denied that i to the report that denied that perpetrators who were in the force were getting away with it? well, i mean, it were getting away with it? well, i mean, ., , ., ~ , mean, it does make some useful recommendations _ mean, it does make some useful recommendations for _ mean, it does make some useful recommendations for reform, i mean, it does make some useful| recommendations for reform, but mean, it does make some useful i recommendations for reform, but we are disappointed that it didn't institute a properly independent reporting mechanism. you can imagine, if you are married to a

police officer, you know, particularly in a smallish local force, trying to report his behaviour, and we know now domestic users can often be veryjekyll and hyde —type characters, you know, can appear to be very matey. you know, their own colleagues are investigating them. the women had no confidence to report. you know, most women would be very, very fearful of reporting. one of the findings, actually, of this investigation was that only six women out of the 10a they had looked at who had previously reported domestic abuse would ever consider doing so again, which shows the level of lack of confidence in the system to deal with domestic abuse. and there should be zero tolerance of domestic abusers in the police. in some cases, we have even heard of police officers accused of being promoted or being put in positions where they

are dealing with vulnerable witnesses. and, you know, as we have seen with the case of wayne cousins, a lack of effective vetting of police officers who have been accused of violence against women, wayne cousins obviously being the most extreme example, but there are some very serious cases we have heard about in the super complaint, as we have illustrated, and the subsequent work since we submitted that super complaint three years ago, we have been contacted by the... 65 women who have had really bad experiences of trying to report and sometimes being very seriously victimised by police officers. harriet wistrich there. joining me now is dave tucker, head of crime and criminaljustice at the college of policing. one are the best organisations that investigated the aeroplane. thank you for being with us. the report

found there were systemic failures. what are those systemic failures and how can they be fixed? this what are those systemic failures and how can they be fixed?— how can they be fixed? as you say, the failures — how can they be fixed? as you say, the failures we _ how can they be fixed? as you say, the failures we found _ how can they be fixed? as you say, the failures we found effect - how can they be fixed? as you say, the failures we found effect the i the failures we found effect the system from the start, pretty much, to the finish. there were some really good, really well committed, really good, really well committed, really energetic people trying to do their very best for victims, but generally the system is not that supportive and there are two broad areas where that has its most impact, as harriet wistrich was saying in that piece you were just playing. it is very difficult for domestic abuse victims to come forward and that is particularly difficult if you're... if the person who has perpetrated the abuse is part of the police service. and then later on in the process, we found that allegations that had been subject to a criminal investigation were then not considered for discipline and conduct investigation as well. so what should happen is that they could be a criminal investigation if there is a criminal

allegation, but once that is completed it could then be that you would have a discipline and conduct investigation and we are finding that wasn't happening. so the recommendations we make are really focused on trying to improve the whole system from top to bottom because we think that broadly, the system is good if it is implemented properly. system is good if it is implemented --roerl . , system is good if it is implemented --roerl. , ., properly. yes, the report found victims lack _ properly. yes, the report found victims lack confidence - properly. yes, the report found victims lack confidence in i properly. yes, the report found victims lack confidence in the i victims lack confidence in the impartiality of the police. we have seen trust in the police eroded drastically over the past years. does this just further undermine trust in the police but the general public? i trust in the police but the general ublic? ~' ,., trust in the police but the general ublic? ~' ., , ., , public? i think he report has, as harriet mentioned, _ public? i think he report has, as harriet mentioned, it _ public? i think he report has, as harriet mentioned, it is - public? i think he report has, as harriet mentioned, it is hard i harriet mentioned, it is hard hitting, it doesn't, we didn't shy away from saying where we found problems, but i think we can be confident is that when we started this investigation back in 2020, police forces were contacting us and we were pretty much overwhelmed by police forces wanting to understand the nature of the super complaint

and what action they could take immediately to improve the way they responded to that. and now we have got to the end of their investigation and we have got our recommendations and that combined with the commitment of police officers and police forces, i think we have got a real opportunity here to make a substantial difference and victims should be confident that they can come forward and get the help and protection they need. flan help and protection they need. can the be help and protection they need. can they be confident, when a lot of the allegations sewers will still be investigated by the police force that the officer accused still works within? the recommendations are only that in some cases that though should be investigated by a different force. why is that, why shouldn't they all be investigated by a different force because we were very, very clear that we wanted to make sure people felt confident about making allegations and that these cases would be _ about making allegations and that these cases would be dealt - about making allegations and that these cases would be dealt with i these cases would be dealt with properly, confidentially and independently. that doesn't necessarily require an external force to do that. but what it does require is that when police officers

are involved in those investigations, they make a testimony, they make a statement to say that they are not connected in any way to either of the parties. what we thought was that if you applied that rule to every case, that actually you may not achieve independence just by getting an outside force to carry out the investigation because it is quite possible that people would work together on cross—border operations or possibly have even undergone training together. so what was important to us was that victims feel confident that the investigation will be independent and that can be applied, that independence can be applied in a different way thanjust independence can be applied in a different way than just getting a separate, an external force to do it. �* . ~ separate, an external force to do it. all right. dave tucker, thanks forjoining _ it. all right. dave tucker, thanks forjoining us- — more than 1,000 monkeypox infections have been identified in the uk — the largest number of any country outside of africa. the majority of those infections are among gay and bisexual men and they've been warned to be aware

of unusual rashes or lesions. our global health correspondent, naomi grimley, has more. london draped in rainbow flags, but this year's pride takes place against the backdrop of a monkeypox outbreak with the vast majority of infections in men who have sex with men. i didn't know much about monkeypox, but when they told me i thought the worst. it's a difficult subject to talk about, but dan, who's 31, wants to speak openly about the symptoms which includes a rash. so i started to get swollen down in my genitals and then also my glands in my throat, so my throat started swelling up and for a couple of days i found it quite hard to breathe at times. symptoms are usually mild but anyone can catch monkeypox through close contact. because so many of the current cases are in gay and bisexual men, health officials say clear messages are needed ahead of pride. if you think you may have monkeypox, with blisters, fever, swollen glands, please don't go out over the weekend.

stay at home, contact nhs111 or your local sexual health service for advice. if you are out and socialising and mixing, please be on the lookout for any signs and symptoms. before this spring, monkeypox was exclusively circulating in these african countries, where it's been endemic for years. since may, however, cases have been found in several countries which wouldn't normally expect to see the virus. and the uk has the most cases, with over 1,000 recorded. there is a vaccine and queues have been forming outside new york's pop—up clinics. the uk is also offering it to men at higher risk. for some, pride is first and foremost a party, but health officials want to be frank about a disease new to the uk. naomi grimley, bbc news. joining me now is alex sparrowhawk,

russia insists its forces have just withdrawn from there as a gesture of goodwill. let's go to madrid now and our correspondent, kasia madera. samantha, thank you very much. this has been billed as a transformative summit for nato, a real gear shift and that is exactly what we have seen. if you bear in mind that 12 years ago at the last big summit, when this strategic concept was being drawn up, a strategic concept is this blueprint, a guideline for how nato will be working with all the different member parties, well, this guideline, the strategic concept this time around, 12 years later, has completely reshaped the direction in which nato will be going. forthe direction in which nato will be going. for the first time russia has been described as a direct threat. and for the first time climate change has made it onto the agenda

and for the first time also china and for the first time also china and its growing military might has been described as a challenge, but just focusing in on the aspect of ukraine because of course crane has not been mentioned as much in the strategic concept itself, but this is very much been at the top of the gender of everyone, everybody very concerned about what is happening and we heard president biden described that, we will defend every inch of nato territory, adding that, the world, the us will be rallying the world, the us will be rallying the world, the us will be rallying the world to stand with ukraine. so a lot of promises as well. of course, as you were mentioning there, the uk promising £1 billion in military aid to ukraine, but compare that to what volodymyr zelensky says the country needs, they are spending 5 billion us dollars a monthjust they are spending 5 billion us dollars a month just to keep on top of this war. so let's speak about some of the detail of what we have been hearing, what has been promised here at this summit. we can cross

over to speak to dr aglaya snetkov, who is a kremlin expert, an expert on russian foreign security and domestic and foreign security. really good to have you with us. when it comes to the big promises we are hearing, and of course i understand that not all of them will be kept, but a lot of funds, a lot of military support, a huge increase in the rapid advanced forces. is there something in particular you think is significant? a lot of firsts as well, of course, that permanent for the first time a us base in a former cold war country. anything that really takes you, that you think this is a complete gear shift change? i you think this is a complete gear shift change?— you think this is a complete gear shift change? i think the fact that, ou know, shift change? i think the fact that, you know. nato — shift change? i think the fact that, you know, nato will— shift change? i think the fact that, you know, nato will redeploy i shift change? i think the fact that, you know, nato will redeploy so i shift change? i think the fact that, i you know, nato will redeploy so many more _ you know, nato will redeploy so many more forces — you know, nato will redeploy so many more forces. but the americans really— more forces. but the americans really will— more forces. but the americans really will put their headquarters in poland. — really will put their headquarters in poland, that the amount of troops, — in poland, that the amount of troops, ammunition, military support that will— troops, ammunition, military support that will be _ troops, ammunition, military support that will be stationed in eastern europe — that will be stationed in eastern europe is— that will be stationed in eastern europe is a gear change. i think the fact that, _ europe is a gear change. i think the fact that, you know, this many

months — fact that, you know, this many months into the war, but nato continues— months into the war, but nato continues to support ukraine, i think. — continues to support ukraine, i think. is— continues to support ukraine, i think, is substantial because prior to this _ think, is substantial because prior to this summit there were discussions about whether or not the western— discussions about whether or not the western unity was being questioned, whether— western unity was being questioned, whether or— western unity was being questioned, whether or not the allies were not so sure. _ whether or not the allies were not so sure, whether there were other issues _ so sure, whether there were other issues coming onto the agenda and i think that _ issues coming onto the agenda and i think that the combination of this nato _ think that the combination of this nato summit kind of shows the ongoing — nato summit kind of shows the ongoing resolve and the ongoing support— ongoing resolve and the ongoing support that the west is trying to .ive support that the west is trying to give ukraine and i think that is substantial because part of the things— substantial because part of the things that the russians and especially vladimir putin were banking — especially vladimir putin were banking on is basically the west's this interest and that the west would — this interest and that the west would essentially get bored and move on and _ would essentially get bored and move on and their attention would be focused — on and their attention would be focused on something else, and i think— focused on something else, and i think the — focused on something else, and i think the fact that nato placed russia — think the fact that nato placed russia at the heart of its threat is very substantial. because it shows the ongoing focus of what is going on in _ the ongoing focus of what is going on in ukraine and that will bolster ukraine _ on in ukraine and that will bolster ukraine and their military efforts and i_ ukraine and their military efforts and i think— ukraine and their military efforts and i think it will also continue to

the culture secretary nadine dorries has been described as "a little bit bit disrespectful" after her speech at a rugby league world cup event this afternoon. reminicing about her favourite rugby league moment, she went on to describe the moment england won, the rugby union world cup in 2003. have a listen. i like the idea of rugby league because what i've heard, my long—standing memory is 2003, the drop goal. what a moment that was. the head of the rugby league world cup suggested her "mistake" shows a need for a greater "education" about the game. dorries has since tweeted to say, "like jason robinson i may have switched codes in my speech. both league & union have a rich heritage in the uk. obviously i've followed rugby league much less in my lifetime, but i'm looking forward to watching england and all the home nations in the rl world cup this autumn.

very interesting comments there. i suppose it can happen. all the tennis on the bbc sport website. bbc dot co .uk. it's very dramatic today. rafa nadal is now up. that's all the sport for now. we will see you then. a source at buckingham palace says an inquiry into the handling of bullying claims made against the duchess of sussex will remain private and won't be published. lawyers for the duchess strongly denied the allegations, when they were made, about bullying of staff. the palace says the investigation has led to reforms in the way it's run. our royal correspondent sarah campbell reports. meghan, the duchess of sussex, back in the uk at a royal event for the first time in two years. thejubilee weekend was a rare opportunity for the royals to get together in public, and in private. over the four—day weekend, prince charles met his granddaughter, lilibet, for the first time. the meeting was, according to a palace source, very emotional. while the sussexes were building

a new life in california, over the past year an independent review was carried out by the palace's hr department using an outside legal team, after allegations surfaced that meghan had bullied two former members of staff while she was a working royal. allegations she strongly denied. the review, which was not paid for using public funds, has led to improvements to working practices, according to a senior royal source. but to maintain the confidentiality of all those who took part, no further details will be released. the sovereign grant is the annual report detailing the running costs of the working members of the royal family, including travel, staff costs and the upkeep of buildings. security costs are excluded. for 2021—22, the grant totalled £86.3 million of public money, a slight increase on the previous year. the biggest spend, almost £55 million, was on the continued renovation of buckingham palace, a ten—year programme of works.

it was the focal point of the platinum jubilee celebrations, and the costs were a0% higher than the previous year, as work was accelerated to get it ready for the jubilee weekend. foreign travel was also back on the books after a lull during the pandemic. the cambridges' at times controversial nine—day trip to the caribbean in march, was the most expensive royal trip, costing £226,000. despite her mobility issues, the queen has still managed to carry out 201 engagements over the past year, many of them virtual. but as was evident in scotland this week, she appears determined to get on with the job. sarah campbell, bbc news.

the glasgow east constituency. 2015. but six months later, she resigned the whip, it became known she was being investigated for fraud. the whip, it became known she was being investigated forfraud. women for independence realise thousands of pounds were missing from their account. and they got the police to investigate. then this ad organisation, the glasgow regional association of the snp discovered they had lost £a600. as we heard, there was a trial which lasted six weeks. in that trial, we were shown bank accounts, we were shown money going in, and money going out, many immediately coming in to her bank account and going out to pay rent, loans, to pay for shopping and there was even a holiday to spain. natalie mcgarry has told the court she has suffered over the last seven years and her life has been intolerable and her life has been intolerable and said she just wants a normal life and once to melt away into the background but today the sheriff tom hughes decided a custodial sentence

looking to devolve the government and devolved budgets to be using funding which would otherwise have been provided health services, schools, new homes for example, to put towards defence. that's a novel approach, the first time i think the uk government has done this, and we recognise this is an exceptional situation but what we don't want to see is it becoming something more normalised and we certainly don't want it to set a precedent for the future. ~ , ., , ., , future. where you tell this was auoin to future. where you tell this was going to happen _ future. where you tell this was going to happen or _ future. where you tell this was going to happen or were i future. where you tell this was going to happen or were you i future. where you tell this was i going to happen or were you asked your consent? the going to happen or were you asked your consent?— going to happen or were you asked your consent? the choice was given that either we _ your consent? the choice was given that either we provide _ your consent? the choice was given that either we provide a _ that either we provide a contribution of £30 million up front now, which is what we decided to do, or that we take a consequential at the end of the financial year when we see the supplementary estimates, and with our keenness to support ukraine we decided that we would make this contribution now and then also it helps us to have that certainty to plan for the rest of the financial year as well, so those

where the choices presented to us and we decided to provide the contribution now. it's absolutely right we do support ukraine. haste right we do support ukraine. have ou had right we do support ukraine. have you had this _ right we do support ukraine. have you had this kind _ right we do support ukraine. have you had this kind of— right we do support ukraine. have you had this kind of thing happen before, if not for the situation like ukraine, which is obviously unique, but have you had money taken away from your capital is obviously unique, but have you had money taken away from your capitals budget before? it away from your capitals budget before? . , . , , away from your capitals budget before? .,, ., , , , before? it has happened in the past and it happened _ before? it has happened in the past and it happened because _ before? it has happened in the past and it happened because the - before? it has happened in the past and it happened because the way i before? it has happened in the pastl and it happened because the way the welsh government is funded is on the basis of consequential funding, so when uk government departments spend in devolved areas we will get a barnet share of that. but we also get a ban its share of uk government cuts departments spending in those devolved areas, so we have had situations very late on in the financial year where our budget on the capital side has been cut by £100 million and that's really hard for us to absorb at the end of the financial year and it does make that kind of financial planning very difficult which is why we are working really hard to press the case to the treasury ministers to allow us greater flexibility with

of his garden before his 100th birthday during the first covid lockdown. he raised £38 million for the nhs. that money was donated to nhs charities, and is not part of the inquiry. what is being looked into is the connection between the captain tom foundation and a company previously set up by his daughter, hannah ingram moore, and her husband colin. it's after the charity commission became concerned about what they said could be a failure to consider intellectual property and trademark issues, which could have generated profit for his daughter's private company. something that has concerned us has been the arrangements between the charity and a company linked to the ingram moore family. we are formally investigating whether or not the trustees took the right decisions in managing those links, and making sure that the charity fulfilled their responsibilities in terms

of the decisions that they took about those links, and any potential conflicts of interest between the family and the charity. the chairman of the captain tom foundation's board of trustees said it would work closely with the commission. in a statement, the family said neither hannah nor colin ingram moore were trustee directors of the captain tom foundation when it was formed, and the charity commission found no issues with its accounts published in february. laura trant, bbc news. campaigners are warning that ancient trees, which have been around since the middle ages need better protection. research suggests there could be many more such trees in england than are currently known about, with some two million not recorded and many at risk. our environment and rural affairs correspondent claire marshall reports. there are many known and loved elderly trees here in the ashton court estate in bristol. some are so venerable they have names.

this is the fattest tree. when it was a sapling, horse and carts would have been driving past — the time of richard the lionheart and the crusades. this might be a really good route in, so shall we have a look? we followed steve marsh from the woodland trust, looking for another... the jungle to get to it! ..the domesday oak — but instead, we found a secret. we're nearly there, mind the stumps. wow, look at this, amazing! almost 700 years old, this hidden tree is nameless and a revelation. that is a living cathedral, a literal living legend. what kind of legal protection does this kind of tree have? so this tree only has protection because the landowner looks after it, in this sense, so it's by proxy. as a statutory across the board, trees like this don't have any legal status, a heritage status. that's what we want to change. we think trees like this should have the same heritage status as our ancient buildings, and why wouldn't they?

700 years old plus? and today, it's been revealed there could be ten times as many ancient and veteran trees than we thought — around 2 million, say researchers from the university of nottingham. the map that we've produced is the first estimate of where we think these trees are in england and that will be really, really useful in terms of moving forward and the conservation and protection of these trees. at first, we couldn't believe the results. it's kind of scary in the fact that how little we know means that those trees are not protected at all. a lot are concentrated around london and the historic hunting parks and forests, but also other places such as the lake district, hereford, and northumberland. but in the east, in bretton, near peterborough, we saw what victoria was worried about — a lone oak, the last fragment of a wood centuries older than the estate that's risen around it. an insurance company said its roots

were damaging a nearby house. the council said it was cheaper to fell it. it's trees like this one that perfectly illustrate the conflict between the very ancient world and the modern, and the difficulty in finding a balance between the two. yesterday, this tree lost. any potential threat to a home is gone, but a unique habitat — and for locals, a skyscape of memory and imagination — has been taken apart. it's not the tree's fault. they knew the tree was there when they built the houses. these living beings are a safe haven as biodiversity levels crash. they also help to cool a heating climate. perhaps armed with the new map of old trees we can help to keep more of them alive. claire marshall, bbc news. you can find out plenty more on all of today's stories on the bbc news website or the bbc news app and i

will be back with you with all the latest headlines in just a few moments. time now for a look at the weather. hello. a pleasant day but the sun has been out so far but there have been some big downpours. more to come today. thundery showers on the western side of this area cloud which is bringing more persistent rain to the north sea. the cloud clip in the south—east working northwards towards shetland overnight, but for most we finished the day with a mixture of sunny spells, scattered heavy showers this evening and temperatures in the high teens and low 20s. some of the shower was continuing tonight particular across parts of central england towards the north—east of england towards the north—east of england later and a persistent rain in the north sea creeps ever closer towards shetland. a few mist and fog patches and in rural areas temperature is down to single figures. 10—12 as we start friday morning but the big picture for friday shows the weather front closing in on shetland bringing heavy rain, another weather front approaching from the west. we are still in that shower remix. it means

they could be a few passing showers at wimbledon. a bit breezy through friday. most of the time will be dry. that's the story for many of us. thundery showers to begin with. more persistent rain in shetland after a bright start for the rest of the country. cloud will then build up the country. cloud will then build up like it has done in recent days with heavy showers. more focus to the north and east of the country. further west, the north and east of the country. furtherwest, drier, the north and east of the country. further west, drier, a few showers around in the afternoon. persistent rain later in the day but temperatures like today, 15—22. through friday night into the start of the weekend, no pressure with an area of more cloud. these weather fronts will bring more consistent cloud and outbreaks of rain across the country. north—west to south—east as we go through the day. the far south—east will stay dry until later on. the showers could be thundery with brightness in between and certainly a better afternoon across northern and western england and wales compared with the morning but more persistent rain across southern scotland and northern ireland. that clears through across

saturday night into sunday. the weekend, sunday the drier of the two days. still a few showers dotted around here and there. most frequent across the north west of scotland at many places will be primarily dry for a good part of the day. temperatures, the low 20s in the south—east at most places in the mid to high teens. it changes next week and a ridge of high pressure builds in from the south keeping things cool and cloudy across scotland and northern ireland. turning warm across parts of england and wales. so

story started in july last year. it all started with a phone call to the police by angharad williamson, logan mwangi's mother. she called them hysterically saying that her five—year—old son had gone missing. body cam footage by police when they entered the home later that morning showed a family in real distress. the mother, stepfather, john cole and a 14—year—old boy clearly worried about logan mwangi. but in the background you could also hear the washing machine on, the first signs that potentially things were not all what they seemed in this household. and it turns out that phone call, their mannerisms and expressions at the time were all a complete facade. they were lying. they had kept logan mwangi trapped in his room. he was suffering with covid already but they trapped him there. they had beaten him, killed him and then dumped his body in a riverjust a few hundred metres away from where they lived in bridgend.

in south wales. when he heard of the death of his son, logan mwangi's father said his life now was a colder and darker place without the smile of his son and it's affected the effect on his life has been devastating. logan had suffered 56 injuries to his body. the jury heard some horrific medical detail about how those injuries had affected him. some of them were so severe they were akin to the same as one would have if they were in a car crash or had fallen from a great height. one juror has contacted the bbc afterwards and has done an interview talking about the effect this had on her and calling for more support forjurors when they are in trials when such horrific testimony is being read out. after sentencing was read out, south wales police gave a statement on the steps in cardiff crown court. ben and his family have demonstrated incredible strength throughout. what they have been through is hard

to comprehend but they have indie would everything with tremendous courage and dignity at this most difficult time. the impact logan's death has had and continues to have on all those who loved him and knew him within the local community is immeasurable. knowing thatjustice is being done for logan i hope they can now begin to rebuild their lives and celebrate the joy he gave them during the precious time they had with him. once again i would like to pay tribute to the professionalism by police officers and emergency service colleagues who are faced with the most dramatic scenes imaginable back injuly last year. i would also like to thank my team of detectives and staff who have worked tirelessly on this investigation together with the crown prosecution service and prosecution counsel. the efforts of all involved has contributed to today's outcome. sentencing, the judge said she didn't accept much of the evidence that was given by angharad williamson and john cole throughout this trial which finished

in april earlier this year and which took the juryjust a couple of hours before they reached the guilty verdicts. the judge today said also the days leading up to logan's death, they had treated logan in extreme manner by locking him in the room without any supervision and dehumanised him in the eyes of his parents. adding also that he was completely defenceless against those that had killed him and that it was impossible to imagine the terror he had endured and the injuries that had been inflicted upon him. angharad williamson, the 31—year—old mother, has been sentenced to a life term and a minimum prison time of 28 years in prison. john cole has been sentenced to 29 years and a 14—year—old boy has been given 15 years. a report into how police forces in england and wales deal with allegations of domestic abuse against their staff has been published.

it follows a super complaint made by the centre for women's justice. watchdogs have found that police need to improve how they respond to domestic abuse cases where the suspect is a serving officer, but denied perpetrators within the force were "getting away with it". the report identified �*systemic weaknesses' in police response to these cases, and found that victims lacked confidence in the impartiality of the police. our home affairs correspondent june kelly has been looking at the report. it was a strongly worded report which was launched here by the watchdog at canary wharf and it followed what is called a super complaint, which had been brought by the campaigning women charity, the centre for women's justice. they had become concerned about the number of stories they were hearing from women who had made allegations of domestic abuse against police officers or police staff and the treatment they had received. for example, one woman said that her statement had been read by the suspect, who was her husband. now, the report says there needs to be improvements in a number of areas,

including around impartiality, as that case illustrates. also they say that needs to be a much sharper focus on victims and the challenges they face when they make complaints against police officers. and also they say that if there isn't going to be a criminal prosecution, there needs to be a better way of conducting a misconduct investigation which they say is not happening at the moment in some cases. now, in terms of criminal prosecutions, they found that the rate of prosecutions against police officers is only slightly lower than it is for the general public. having said that, the rate generally is very low. and as for the future, they make a number of recommendations, including, they say, some cases could be passed to outside forces. now, the centre for women's justice want all cases to go to outside forces, but the watchdog say they don't think this is necessary.

sometimes there are examples of collusion and of police officers using their powers inappropriately, and many, many of the cases didn't go anywhere and in some cases women were subject to adverse police action, including being arrested themselves and, you know, if they were police officers also being subject themselves to misconduct proceedings. so, the position for police officer complainants is particularly problematic because they have no automatic right to complain, if a case doesn't result in a criminal charge and misconduct proceedings won't necessarily be brought. this is something that the super complaint report highlighted and found that only less than...

40% of cases reported went to a misconduct investigation, which is a very low proportion. more than 1,000 monkeypox infections have been identified in the uk, the largest number of any country outside of africa. the majority of those infections are among gay and bisexual men and they've been warned to be aware of unusual rashes or lesions. our global health correspondent naomi grimley has more. london draped in rainbow flags, but this year's pride takes place against the backdrop of a monkeypox outbreak with the vast majority of infections in men who have sex with men. i didn't know much about monkeypox, but when they told me i thought the worst. it's a difficult subject to talk about, but dan, who's 31, wants to speak openly about the symptoms which includes a rash. so i started to get swollen down

there is a vaccine and queues have been forming outside new york's pop—up clinics. the uk is also offering it to men at higher risk. pride is first and foremost a party, but health officials want to be frank about a disease new to the uk. naomi grimley, bbc news. i'm joined by deputy chief constable maggie blyth, violence against women and girls coordinator for the national police chiefs' council — the npcc. the report found cases and found there was no impartiality. what is your reaction? taste there was no impartiality. what is your reaction?— there was no impartiality. what is our reaction? ~

turning the tables on the actions of those violent men who perpetrate this type of abuse on women. we won't tolerate that internally all across our communities. you are sa inc across our communities. you are sa in: it across our communities. you are saying it won't — across our communities. you are saying it won't be _ across our communities. you are saying it won't be tolerated - across our communities. you are saying it won't be tolerated but l across our communities. you are i saying it won't be tolerated but we are in 2022. i asked you earlier if it had been going on too long. how can women and girls feel confident in police forces when they don't deal with complaints against their own officers? irate deal with complaints against their own officers?— own officers? we will and are listenin: own officers? we will and are listening to — own officers? we will and are listening to women _ own officers? we will and are listening to women who - own officers? we will and are listening to women who are l own officers? we will and are - listening to women who are reporting domestic abuse and that is absolutely fundamentally important. as we shine a light and continued to shine a light and turn the stone where conduct and standards have fallen below what we expect all the systems are not consistently being followed, we are a some challenges and we know we need to change some of our approach towards violence

against women and girls. this is what this report says today and we welcome that. we will continue to keep shining that light in this way and we expect more cases to come to the fore over the next few months. the charity that brought this case or complaint wanted all allegations made against serving police officers to be dealt with by another force. that is not in the recommendations. do you think that's a mistake? i do you think that's a mistake? i know the report has looked into this and where there is a place for that to be undertaken and for an independent scrutiny from the default is to take place that can happen. it will not happen in every place and we will continue to keep reviewing this as we move forward. part of the work i am overseeing in relation to violence against women and girls is a review of misconduct across policing and we will be publishing more findings in the

autumn with recommendations to go forward. that is really important that we keep shining a light in this way to make sure there are improvements and that women and girls feel confident and have the trust in policing to report when they need to. trust in policing to report when they need to— trust in policing to report when the need to. . ~ ,, , . they need to. thank you very much for beinr they need to. thank you very much for being with _ they need to. thank you very much for being with us. _ they need to. thank you very much for being with us. the _ they need to. thank you very much for being with us. the 14-year-old | for being with us. the 14—year—old boy who murdered five—year—old logan mwangi has now been named as craig milligan after a judge lifted an anonymity order at cardiff crown court. he has been detained for a minimum period of 15 years.

mps have warned that corrupt money from russia is still being laundered through the uk, despite the war in ukraine. in a highly critical report, the foreign affairs committee said government complacency had helped morally bankrupt billionaires use britain as a safe deposit box. the government said there was no place for "dirty money" in the uk, especially from russia, and it had taken action to crack down on illicit finance. i'm joined now by the conservative mp tom tugendhat, who chairs the foreign affairs committee. tell us more about what your report found. ~ ., ., ., , ., found. what we found was that des - ite found. what we found was that despite the _ found. what we found was that despite the quick— found. what we found was that despite the quick action - found. what we found was that despite the quick action on - despite the quick action on sanctioning certain individuals connected to the president putin regime _ connected to the president putin regime in — connected to the president putin regime in terms of the war in ukraine— regime in terms of the war in ukraine there were still fab too much _ ukraine there were still fab too much dirty money going through our system _ much dirty money going through our system. the uk because it is one of the largest— system. the uk because it is one of the largest financial centres in the world _ the largest financial centres in the world has— the largest financial centres in the world has a lot of dirty money going through— world has a lot of dirty money going through it — world has a lot of dirty money going through it. the only other rival to us in _ through it. the only other rival to us in many— through it. the only other rival to us in many ways is the us. so this is a genuine — us in many ways is the us. so this is a genuine problem notjust because _ is a genuine problem notjust because of the war in ukraine but actually— because of the war in ukraine but actually because it's spreading corruption and it is undermining trust _ corruption and it is undermining trust within our own system. this has been an _ trust within our own system. this has been an issue _ trust within our own system. this has been an issue for _ trust within our own system. “in 3 has been an issue for decades for many governments. how do they deal with it and how difficult is it?

the bridge undertook $325 million worth of crypto currency and the biggest ever happened in march which was $540 million. what we are seeing is a potential pattern that is linking these haxton north korea. with their own and bridge attack, the us came out and said it was north korea that carried out the attack. it's an elite unit in the north korean government to military hackers who are going up the targets and trying to extort money. they have been accused for years of trying to get money and to evade sanctions and help them build up their nuclear programme. now we are seeing evidence that they are planting their attention towards crypto currency platforms. isn’t planting their attention towards crypto currency platforms. isn't the oint that crypto currency platforms. isn't the point that crypto — crypto currency platforms. isn't the point that crypto currency - crypto currency platforms. isn't the point that crypto currency is - point that crypto currency is supposed to be a safe haven and you can steal it. if supposed to be a safe haven and you can steal it— can steal it. if you have your c to can steal it. if you have your crypto currency _ can steal it. if you have your crypto currency and - can steal it. if you have your crypto currency and you - can steal it. if you have your| crypto currency and you have can steal it. if you have your. crypto currency and you have it can steal it. if you have your- crypto currency and you have it in your wallet only you can access that. no bank can touch that. that is the beauty of it. but it comes with problems. a lot of these companies that are being attacked

have grown very fast and they are in charge of hundreds of millions of dollars and quite often there are lapses in security because they are growing so quickly and that means there are potential weak target for hackers to go after. he saw the list there, that is not all of the hacks that have happened, it seems to be a lucrative target for hackers to go after and i'm afraid nobody does it better than the north koreans. the uk is giving ukraine an extra billion pounds in military aid, almost doubling british support for the fight against russia. the uk is the second biggest donor to ukraine after the united states, and since the russian invasion began has sent a total of £3.8 billion pounds to ukraine in both military and humanitarian aid. the latest promise of help comes on the final day of the nato summit in madrid, where the alliance has agreed to strengthen its forces in eastern europe. meanwhile, ukraine is claiming to have seized the strategically important snake island in the black sea. russia insists it's forces have just withdrawn from there

as a gesture of goodwill. let's go to madrid now and our correspondent, kasia madera. what is your assessment of what it's achieved? irate what is your assessment of what it's achieved? ~ ., , . achieved? we have seen a reinvigorated _ achieved? we have seen a reinvigorated nato - achieved? we have seen a reinvigorated nato and - achieved? we have seen a| reinvigorated nato and that achieved? we have seen a . reinvigorated nato and that is exactly what yens stoltenberg wa nted. exactly what yens stoltenberg wanted. we are seeing are united nato and the focus very much on the war taking place in ukraine. just this afternoon president biden said that russia is paying a very heavy price for invading ukraine and that it won't be able to defeat it. he said he would announce a further £800 million —— said he would announce a further £800 million -- $800 said he would announce a further £800 million —— $800 million worth of military aid for kyiv in the coming days. of military aid for kyiv in the coming days-— of military aid for kyiv in the cominr da s. ., ., , ., coming days. together to deploy more assets and ability _ coming days. together to deploy more

from this summit. earlier i spoke to dr aglaya snetkov, lecturer in international politics of russia at university college london. and i asked her what the key developments have been from this summit here in madrid. i think the fact that nato will redeploy so many more forces and the americans— redeploy so many more forces and the americans will put their headquarters in poland, the amount of troops _ headquarters in poland, the amount of troops and ammunition and military— of troops and ammunition and military support that will be stationed in eastern europe as a gear— stationed in eastern europe as a gear change. i think the fact this many— gear change. i think the fact this many months into the war that nato continues— many months into the war that nato continues to support ukraine i think is substantial because prior to this summit— is substantial because prior to this summit they were discussions about whether— summit they were discussions about whether or— summit they were discussions about whether or not the west was being questioned on whether the allies were _ questioned on whether the allies were not— questioned on whether the allies were not a show and other issues were _

from this island which is a tiny dot in the black sea bass being seen as a defeat for the kremlin, is this in response to what vladimir putin is watching here in madrid, this reinvigoration of nato or is it simply an island that is too hard to defend? i simply an island that is too hard to defend? ~ ,, ., ,, , ., ., , defend? i think snake island has become the _ defend? i think snake island has become the symbolic— defend? i think snake island has become the symbolic initial- defend? i think snake island has i become the symbolic initial ukraine resolve _ become the symbolic initial ukraine resolve against russian aggression. if you _ resolve against russian aggression. if you look— resolve against russian aggression. if you look at the map it's a tiny island _ if you look at the map it's a tiny island and — if you look at the map it's a tiny island and you could almost consider what's _ island and you could almost consider what's the _ island and you could almost consider what's the big deal about it? but it's important for a number of reasons _ it's important for a number of reasons it _ it's important for a number of reasons. it is symbolic. the fact the russians are withdrawing at the same _ the russians are withdrawing at the same time — the russians are withdrawing at the same time as the nato summit is finishing — same time as the nato summit is finishing up is important. what's also to— finishing up is important. what's also to keep in mind is that the level— also to keep in mind is that the level of— also to keep in mind is that the level of fighting over the island has increased over the last few weeks — has increased over the last few weeks and this is proving the use of western—

reinvigorated nato, the alliance is strong and growing and we saw how quickly the incorporation of finland and sweden will be taking place. the message is that the west one is to show russia that they cannot behave in this way, what is happening on the ground in ukraine has completely galvanised this alliance, and as president biden earlier answered, nato will defend every inch of its territory and that's the message this alliance, this grouping of defence nations, once russia to know. . ~ defence nations, once russia to know. ., ,, , ., now it's time for a look at the weather. it isjuly it is july tomorrow. it isjuly tomorrow. is the summer coming back? it it is july tomorrow. is the summer coming back?— it is july tomorrow. is the summer coming back? it could do next week but not quite _ coming back? it could do next week but not quite yet. _ coming back? it could do next week but not quite yet. hello _ coming back? it could do next week but not quite yet. hello there. - but not quite yet. hello there. sunshine and showers out there at the moment. at the end ofjune it feels a little on the cool side but let me show you how widespread the showers are and the flashes of

summer, we are going into pride season and the uk summer of love, that this is an opportunity for the virus to spread itself. hope that this is an opportunity for the virus to spread itself.— that this is an opportunity for the virus to spread itself. how much of a threat could _ virus to spread itself. how much of a threat could it _ virus to spread itself. how much of a threat could it be? _ virus to spread itself. how much of a threat could it be? i _ virus to spread itself. how much of a threat could it be? i think- virus to spread itself. how much of a threat could it be? i think it's - a threat could it be? i think it's important _ a threat could it be? i think it's important to — a threat could it be? i think it's important to recognise - a threat could it be? i think it's - important to recognise monkeypox is not a huge threat but it is an issue of importance and concern. it's a problem that can be solved. we know this virus continues to spread in this virus continues to spread in this country, the numbers appear to be doubling every ten or 12 days or so. it's mainly through skin to skin contact. we need a combination of solutions and part of that is about raising awareness, giving people information about what the condition may look like, and education on who might be affected. people need to know what to look for and if they see something, what they then do and how they get tested.—

mcgarrry has been sentenced to two years in prison. catriona renton has more. it lasted for six weeks in glasgow and it ended last month when she was found guilty of embezzling almost £20,000 from a charity called women for independence. she was in the founding members of the charity and the glasgow regional association of the snp, she took £4600 from them. today natalie mcgarry was sentenced at glasgow court, and a sheriff told her she had lied to others and deceive colleagues and the charges were very serious taking place over a long period of time and he said she had fallen well short of the standards expected of a politician in public office. now the background to this case, natalie mcgarry was a rising star in the scottish national party. she volunteered to run the finances of this campaign group women for independence in the run—up to the referendum in 2014.

she was then elected as an snp mp for the glasgow east constituency in 2015. but six months later, she resigned the whip and it became known she was being investigated for fraud. women for independence realised thousands of pounds were missing from their accounts. they got the police to investigate and then this other organisation the glasgow regional association of the snp discovered they had lost £4600. as we heard, there was a trial that lasted six weeks and in that trial we were shown bank accounts, shown money going in and money going out, many immediately coming into the bank account of natalie mcgarry and going out to pay rent, loans, pay for shopping, even a holiday to spain. natalie mcgarry has told the court she suffered over the last seven years and her life has been intolerable. she said she just wants a normal life and just wants to melt into the background but today, the sheriff decided a custodial

sentence was the only option and he sentenced her to two years in prison. the headlines on bbc news. three people have been given life sentences for the murder of a five—year—old boy including a 14—year—old who has been named for the first time. the police watchdog said forces need to improve how they respond to domestic abuse cases where the suspect is a serving officer. london's public health director urges anyone of monkeypox to skip the capitals pride events this weekend. an inquiry has begun into the charity established in honour of the fundraiser and army veteran, captain sir tom moore. the charity commission has concerns about the management of the captain tom foundation and decisions that could have

generated "significant profit" for a company run by his family. laura tra nt reports. inches to go. and there he is. congratulations! the images of captain sir tom moore that captured the nation's heart. sir tom walking 100 laps of his garden before his 100th birthday during the first covid lockdown. he raised £38 million for the nhs. that money was donated to nhs charities, and is not part of the inquiry. what is being looked into is the connection between the captain tom foundation and a company previously set up by his daughter, hannah ingram moore, and her husband colin. it's after the charity commission became concerned about an inquiry has begun into the charity established what they said could be a failure to consider intellectual property and trademark issues, which could have generated profit for his daughter's private company. something that has concerned us has been the arrangements between the charity and a company linked to the ingram moore family. we are formally investigating whether or not the trustees took the right decisions in managing

those links, and making sure that the charity fulfilled their responsibilities in terms of the decisions that they took about those links, and any potential conflicts of interest between the family and the charity. the chairman of the captain tom foundation's board of trustees said it would work closely with the commission. in a statement, the family said neither hannah nor colin ingram moore were trustee directors of the captain tom foundation when it was formed, and the charity commission found no issues with its accounts published in february. laura trant, bbc news. a source at buckingham palace says an inquiry into the handling of bullying claims made against the duchess of sussex will remain private and won't be published. lawyers for the duchess strongly denied the allegations, when they were made, about bullying of staff. the palace says the investigation has led to reforms in the way it's run. our royal correspondent sarah campbell reports. meghan, the duchess of sussex,

back in the uk at a royal event for the first time in two years. the jubilee weekend was a rare opportunity for the royals to get together in public, and in private. over the four—day weekend, prince charles met his granddaughter, lilibet, for the first time. the meeting was, according to a palace source, very emotional. while the sussexes were building a new life in california, over the past year an independent review was carried out by the palace's hr department using an outside legal team, after allegations surfaced that meghan had bullied two former members of staff while she was a working royal. allegations she strongly denied. the review, which was not paid for using public funds, has led to improvements to working practices, according to a senior royal source. but to maintain the confidentiality of all those who took part, no further details will be released. the sovereign grant is the annual report detailing the running costs of the working members of the royal family, including travel, staff

costs and the upkeep of buildings. security costs are excluded. for 2021—22, the grant totalled £86.3 million of public money, a slight increase on the previous year. the biggest spend, almost £55 million, was on the continued renovation of buckingham palace, a ten—year programme of works. it was the focal point of the platinum jubilee celebrations, and the costs were 40% higher than the previous year, as work was accelerated to get it ready for the jubilee weekend. foreign travel was also back on the books after a lull during the pandemic. the cambridges' at times controversial nine—day trip to the caribbean in march, was the most expensive royal trip, costing £226,000. despite her mobility issues, the queen has still managed to carry out 201 engagements over the past year, many of them virtual. but as was evident in scotland this week, she appears determined to get on with the job.

sarah campbell, bbc news. a quarter of gp posts in england could be vacant by the year 2030 — according to the think tank, the health foundation. it says it's concerned about a "growing shortage" of family doctors, and a scarcity of nurses too. our health correspondent jim reed reports. hello, bridgwater surgery. how can i help? for many patients, getting through to a gp surgery has become more difficult since lockdown was lifted. is that medically urgent for today? demand has bounced back strongly. at the same time, there is a shortage of family doctors and nurses across much of the uk. this report says in england alone the situation is likely to get worse with one in four gp posts unfilled by the end of the decade. the government has announced multiple times a commitment to increase the number of gps by 6,000. they are actually not on track to deliver that, but even if they were, that's not enough because the demand

for gp services over this decade is due to increase by about a fifth. we've got many more old people and we need general practice to do more. the number of students starting medical training has increased, but gps say that's being offset by an even greater rise in qualified doctors leaving or cutting back their hours. the pressures that gps are experiencing are resulting in more gps, even sometimes at quite a young age, leaving the workforce, retiring early, and a growing number of gps who are working part—time in orderto maintain their own mental health, in order to keep them in the workforce. the government says it has made an extra half a billion pounds available to improve gp access. nhs england is now working on a long—term workforce strategy to try and boost the number of doctors in the profession. jim reed, bbc news. campaigners are warning that ancient trees — which have been around since the middle ages — need better protection.

research suggests there could be many more such trees in england than are currently known about, with some two million not recorded — and many at risk. our environment and rural affairs correspondent claire marshall reports. there are many known and loved elderly trees here in the ashton court estate in bristol. some are so venerable they have names. this is the fattest tree. when it was a sapling, horse and carts would have been driving past — the time of richard the lionheart and the crusades. this might be a really good route in, so shall we have a look? we followed steve marsh from the woodland trust, looking for another. the jungle to get to it! ..the domesday oak — but instead, we found a secret. we're nearly there, mind the stumps. wow, look at this, amazing! almost 700 years old, this hidden tree is nameless and a revelation. that is a living cathedral, a literal living legend. what kind of legal protection does

this kind of tree have? so this tree only has protection because the landowner looks after it, in this sense, so it's by proxy. as a statutory across the board, trees like this don't have any legal status, a heritage status. that's what we want to change. we think trees like this should have the same heritage status as our ancient buildings, and why wouldn't they? 700 years old plus? and today, it's been revealed there could be ten times as many ancient and veteran trees than we thought — around 2 million, say researchers from the university of nottingham. the map that we've produced is the first estimate of where we think these trees are in england and that will be really, really useful in terms of moving forward and the conservation and protection of these trees. at first, we couldn't believe the results. it's kind of scary in the fact that how little we know means that those trees are not protected at all. a lot are concentrated around london and the historic

hunting parks and forests, but also other places such as the lake district, hereford, and northumberland. but in the east, in bretton, near peterborough, we saw what victoria was worried about — a lone oak, the last fragment of a wood centuries older than the estate that's risen around it. an insurance company said its roots were damaging a nearby house. the council said it was cheaper to fell it. it's trees like this one that perfectly illustrate the conflict between the very ancient world and the modern, and the difficulty in finding a balance between the two. yesterday, this tree lost. any potential threat to a home is gone, but a unique habitat — and for locals, a skyscape of memory and imagination — has been taken apart. it's not the tree's fault. they knew the tree was there when they built the houses. these living beings are a safe haven as biodiversity levels crash.

they also help to cool a heating climate. perhaps armed with the new map of old trees we can help to keep more of them alive. claire marshall, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello. a pleasant day but the sun has been out so far but there's been some big downpours around with more to come through today. thundery showers on the western side. this area of cloud is bringing rain to the north sea and then cloud club in east anglia and the south—east working its way northwards towards shetland over night but for most we finish the day with a mixture of sunny spells, scattered showers on this evening temperatures in the high teens and low 20s. the thundery showers continuing to night particular across parts of central england towards the north—east later and the persistent rain in the north sea creeps closer to shetland. most spots dry, mist and fog patches and temperatures down to single figures, 10-12 temperatures down to single figures, 10—12 as we start friday morning.

the big picture for friday shows the weather front closing in on shetland bringing heavy rain and another weather front approaching from the west in between, so we are in a shower remix which means they could be passing showers at wimbledon. fairly fleeting and breezy on friday that most of the time, though, it will be dry and that's the story for many of us. thundery showers in north—east england and eastern scotland, rain in shetland, after a bright start for the rest of the country. the cloud will then build up country. the cloud will then build up and heavy on thundery showers this time will focus towards the north and east. further west, fewer showers around during the afternoon although the west of northern ireland will have persistent rain late in the day. temperatures 15—22. friday night into the start of the weekend, low pressure with an area of more cloud. these weather fronts will bring more consistent cloud and outbreaks of rain across the country swinging from north—west to south—east through the day. the far south—east through the day. the far south—east will stay dry until later on under showers could be heavy on thundery but brightness in between

and certainly a better afternoon across northern and western england and wales compared with the morning, but more persistent rain across scotland and northern ireland. that clear through as they go through saturday night into sunday. of the weekend, sunday is the dry are the two days, still a few showers dotted around here and there most frequent across the north west of scotland but many places will be primarily dry for a good part of the day. temperatures into the low 20s in the south—east, most places, though, the mid to high teens. the changes next week and a ridge of high pressure builds in from the south keeping things cloudy over scotland and northern ireland. turning warm across parts of england and wales.
