rebekah vardy has lost her libel case — which had become known as the �*wagatha christie�* trial — at the high court. vardy had sued coleen rooney after the latter accused her of leaking private information about her to the tabloid press. both women have huge social media followings and business interests, having leveraged their exposure as the wives of famous football players. our correspondent, colin paterson, has been following the trial. it was the trial that brought two footballers' wives face—to—face in court — coleen rooney, wife of england's all—time top scorer wayne rooney, and rebekah vardy, wife of leicester city strikerjamie vardy. the trial attracted huge media interest. camera crews jostled for a position outside, reporters and columnists had to queue to get a ringside seat for this courtroom drama. now thejudgment has been published online. the winner, coleen rooney.

coleen rooney has struck a major victory, major home run here. and it makes her look, in a sense, a certain amount of a statesperson over this. she understands the game. vardy doesn't. the case all centred on an accusation made by coleen rooney in october 2019. she'd been doing some detective work to investigate who was allegedly leaking information from her private instagram account to the sun newspaper. coleen rooney created fake stories to try to deduce who was behind the leaks. she allegedly blocked every account apart from rebekah vardy�*s. days later, the stories appeared in the sun. only then, and after the use of ten dots to ramp up the tension, did coleen rooney reveal in an online post that the one account she'd allowed to read these works of fiction was rebekah vardy�*s. it was rebekah vardy who'd brought this legal action, and as she arrived for her first day

in the witness box, much would depend on how she gave evidence. it did not go well. she was accused by coleen rooney's legal team of being evasive, of changing her story, of lying under oath. rebekah vardy was described as an attention seeker who wanted to appear in the newspapers. coleen rooney told the court at the euros in 2016 when there was a commotion nearby. it was rebekah vardy switching seats to sit behind her, allegedly to be in the photographs. the court heard rebekah vardy used her agent, caroline watt, seen on the left, to leak the stories to the sun. these included tales about the state of rooney's marriage. caroline watt did not give evidence in court for health reasons and her mobile phone, which could have provided a data trail, went missing in the north sea. in the witness box on the first day of her evidence, rebekah vardy broke down in tears.

this happened again on subsequent days. at one point, thejudge paused proceedings to allow her to recover. i was in court only a few feet from rebekah vardy as she sat there crying, with her head in her hands, looking like she was thinking, "why did i ever bring this to court?" the contrast with the composure coleen rooney showed while giving evidence was striking. each day, coleen rooney was accompanied by her husband, wayne, as she arrived at court. she told how her privacy had been invaded. information and photographs she wanted to share with only a few trusted friends and family were repeatedly leaked to the sun. this is why she set out to find out who was behind the leaks. she also said she had repeatedly tried to settle the case privately to avoid going to court, but rebekah vardy refused. when it was wayne rooney's turn in the witness box, he said he was not aware

of his wife's online detective work until the day she posted her accusation. he described the traumatic impact whole case had had on her, with her becoming a different mother, a different wife. after today's judgment, coleen rooney will feel herself vindicated in her detective work. meanwhile, rebekah vardy�*s reputation has taken a hit and there will be big legal bills that need to be paid. colin paterson, bbc news, the high court. our home and legal correspondent dominic casciani is with me. what defended colleen rennie actually have to prove in court? the burden of actually have to prove in court? tue: burden of proof actually have to prove in court? tte: burden of proof is on renee kennett wasn't on vardy to prove her case, effectively, rennie had to go to court and show that the words that she'd used in what has now become the reveal instagram post which says it was rebekah vardy�*s account, she had to prove that that was true. the judge had previously said, look, what you have effectively posted

here amounts to an accusation that is a breach of trust, so the burden of proof is on coleen rooney from day one. but i think was really interesting is how she then went into court and methodically and carefully forensically set out her case and a very, very calm and controlled manner. i will case and a very, very calm and controlled manner. iwill give case and a very, very calm and controlled manner. i will give you an example of this. your computer expert absolutely demolished rebekah vardy�*s claims in court, the whatsapp messages with the agent we saw and collin�*s package. those messages somehow disappeared. experts said that's just implausible, the experts said that'sjust implausible, thejudge experts said that's just implausible, the judge accepted that and went further, effectively finding this on the balance of probabilities. rebekah vardy had effectively destroyed or deleted evidence. in effect, there are a series of tactical blunders which helped coleen rooney when her case.

i think he dumping a case like this lately. they are expensive so thought what about the costs? the thing is, when you win, you win big, so it is real high—stakes game. you don't go to court unless you really know you're going to win. the costs for this are talking more than £2 million because what happens is that rebekah vardy has got her own, and libel cases, lawyers can charge really the earth because the stakes are so high because if that public figures, a lot of money behind their names and brands in public reputation. she is now also got to shoulder coleen rooney's costs as well. there will be a future hearing as well to iron this out unless it can be done behind the scenes. often what happens is the costs are knocked down, so maybe she will only have to pay 70% or 80%. we are talking a bill of 2 million quit. they are rich people, so they are not going to be on bread and soup by the end of next week, but it is going to sting. the end of next week, but it is going to sting-— the end of next week, but it is auoin to stina. ., ~ , .

lets speak to katie hind the consultant editor for showbiz at the mail group of newspapers who knows both women well. thank you very much forjoining us. he followed this very closely, of course. what is your reaction to how it has turned out because but i have to be honest. i didn't think coleen rooney would win this today. so, you know kennett has been quite surprising. as i say, i have followed it since october of 2019 when this story just left followed it since october of 2019 when this storyjust left everybody wanting more. it was the gift that kept on getting to us. finally today it ended. i think certainly coleen rooney will think this is the right to mature, fair result. so, rebekah vardy not quite so happy with things. you met rebekah vardy about five years ago. he spent some time with her. why would a woman with her background and her substance, you know, her husband is a wealthy man, she's earned money in her own right,

accepts the recommendation. sir brian langstaff, who's chairing the public inquiry into the scandal, explained his conclusion. robert francis have no power to order interim payments. you need a compelling case that interim payments are needed now to alleviate suffering ——he made a compelling case that interim payments are needed now interim payments are needed now to alleviate suffering, further suffering, and i agree with him. i am obliged to recognise a practical way to make payment swiftly is to do so through the current affected blood support schemes. that's why i've decided to recommend the interim payments of no less than £100,000 are made to all the affected people and all the bereaved partners who are currently registered with the scheme and those who register between now and the inception of

any future scheme. the government has said it would carefully consider any recommendations. let's get more with our correspondent, laura trant. winding back abets, remind us of some of the background of s. tens of thousands of — some of the background of s. tens of thousands of patients _ some of the background of s. tens of thousands of patients with _ thousands of patients with haemophilia and other blood disorders, they were infected with hiv and hepatitis c. and what has been called the waste treatment disaster in the nhs�*s history. that's because they were given a specific type of treatment to help with their disorders and was infected. it was a new treatment at that time called factor concentrate r factor apes, that was given to people from the mid—19 70s until 1991. that was made by pulling the blood from up to 40,000 different donors, that is why the problem was. if one of those samples was infected, the whole entire batch became infected. so lots of people then contracted different viruses.

that danger increased further when the concentrates, the treatment was brought in from the us, there they were taking blood from groups of people who were known to be high—risk. now, some of the patients he became infected in the uk then unwittingly infected their family members. with hiv, with hepatitis c and people who were undergoing surgery then contracted hepatitis c, hepatitis b, from blood transfusions. so tens of thousands of people were affected. so transfusions. so tens of thousands of people were affected.— of people were affected. so this recommendation, _ of people were affected. so this recommendation, this - of people were affected. so this recommendation, this interim l recommendation, this interim payments should be made immediately. that is what they are saying. now, just a reminder, the purpose of this independent public inquiry is to examine the circumstances in which men, women and children who were under the care of the nhs were given this treatment that was infected. today, the chair, wejust this treatment that was infected. today, the chair, we just saw the clip of him committee infected blood inquiry, sir brian lange staff saying that victims would receive a payment of £100,000 each. now, families and victims have been paid

over the years in a sort of support for they have been given financial support, but this is the first time they have received directions to have actual compensation, so it is a key moment forfamilies, have actual compensation, so it is a key moment for families, for victims in terms of an admission of responsibility stop at the government said it will accept recommendations. so what happens next if this is just the recommendations. so what happens next if this is jus— next if this isjust the interim compensation? _ next if this isjust the interim compensation? this - next if this isjust the interim compensation? this is - next if this isjust the interim compensation? this isjust i next if this is just the interim - compensation? this isjust interim, compensation? this is 'ust interim, and these h compensation? this is 'ust interim, and these are only — compensation? this isjust interim, i and these are only recommendations. it is ongoing. the deadline for more evidence to be submitted to the inquiry has now been extended to the 16th of december. a government spokesperson has said they are going to take a look at this with the utmost urgency. and just a reminder, that an independent study commissioned by the government and published last month said that compensation should be given to victims to theirfamily compensation should be given to victims to their family members to cover costs of stigma, the impact on their life, their work, their lifestyle that could run into billions of pounds. for lifestyle that could run into billions of pounds.- lifestyle that could run into billions of ounds. ., ., billions of pounds. for the moment, thank ou billions of pounds. for the moment, thank you very _ billions of pounds. for the moment, thank you very much. _

joining us nowjason evans, founder of the campaigns group — factor 8 — who have been advocating on behalf of those infected and affected by the scandal. thank you very much forjoining us. the reason that you are part of this campaign is your father, jonathan, died in 1993. tell us a little bit about him as a man, what was he like? ~ ., , ., , ., like? well, i would be able to tell ou more like? well, i would be able to tell you more if— like? well, i would be able to tell you more if it _ like? well, i would be able to tell you more if it wasn't _ like? well, i would be able to tell you more if it wasn't for - like? well, i would be able to tell you more if it wasn't for at the . you more if it wasn't for at the fact that he died when i was four years old in 1993, so my direct memories are few and far between, however, what i can tell you is that following his infection with hepatitis c and hiv he became seriously ill and didn't have much of life at all. about six months after interviewing his and my mum's

relationship and in so many ways. i couldn't even begin to tell you separate the strain of fat and the where he constantly would take its toll. what do you make of this significance of this interim compensation which they have recommended today? it is certainly a big, big step forward. these £100,000 interim compensation payments he has recommended should be made to surviving victims and bereaved partners is really importantjust to perhaps correct some things that were set in the intro they are, these payments are limited to those persons. there are many hundreds of bereaved families who have not only received no ongoing support to dates, but who it's not been recommended now will receive interim constant —— compensation, and that is because the government's position to date is that where an infected person has

died and they were not in a relationship at the time of their death, the family is entitled to no support at all, and unfortunately, that does include arguably some of the west impacted families. we are talking about new risk cases where people were orphaned, in particular, there is when lady, both of her parents died when she was nine years old, the father was infected with hiv unwittingly infecting the mother and both of her parents died, and also children were infected, people died as young as eight or nine, ten years old after being infected with hiv. they too, unfortunately, are eligible for compensation. so, we are only talking but a select number of bereaved families at this moment. however, that being said, sir robert francis's write a report does recommend compensation for all

victims and bereaved families, but it has got to be said that this is certainly a step in the right direction and hopefully that government will act, and this will get badly needed monies into the hands of victim. just get badly needed monies into the hands of victim.— get badly needed monies into the hands of victim. just briefly, what ha--ens hands of victim. just briefly, what happens with _ hands of victim. just briefly, what happens with your _ hands of victim. just briefly, what happens with your campaign - hands of victim. just briefly, what - happens with your campaign because? how strongly do you feel the need to keep going in a given that the sign is compensation is coming in some form? ~ ~ is compensation is coming in some form? ~ “ ~ , is compensation is coming in some form? ~ ~ ., , �* , form? well, i think ultimately, it's on us as campaigners _ form? well, i think ultimately, it's on us as campaigners now - form? well, i think ultimately, it's on us as campaigners now to - form? well, i think ultimately, it's on us as campaigners now to get l form? well, i think ultimately, it's i on us as campaigners now to get this over the line. what we have is a recommendation will stop that's all it is. sir robert francis's report, the government has been sapped on since march of this year recommending exactly the same thing, and to date, publicly facing absolutely nothing has happened. the paymaster general has fobbed off any mp who has asked a question by saying we are working hard, but we have seen no results of that. so our campaign has to keep going to

hopefully get this pushed over the line and get compensation to victims, all bereaved families and ultimately perhaps more importantly to get the truth on record that this scandal was totally avoidable. jason, founder of the campaigns group factor eight, thank you very much for talking to us. you are watching bbc news. it is 21 minutes past 5pm. the headlines on bbc news... rebecca vardy says she's "devastated" after losing her high court libel case against colleen rooney. vardy sued rooney after the latter accused her of leaking her private information to the sun a judge says thousands of surviving victims of the infected blood scandal of the 70s and 80s, should receive immediate six figure compensation. police in lincolnshire arrest two people after a nine—year—old girl dies in a suspected stabbing — she's been named as lilia valutyte.
