good afternoon. criminal barristers in england and wales have voted for an all out strike next month — joining a wave of industrial action as workers seek pay rises to keep up with high inflation. some barristers say they earn less than the minumum wage — the government claims strike action will simply delay justice for victims of crime. railway workers, dockers, postal workers and refuse collectors are among those who've already gone on strike in what's been called a summer of discontent — while nurses are to be balloted on industrial action. 0ur legal affairs correspondent dominic casciani reports. it's a dispute that has been a decade in the making. criminal barristers saying they can't make a living any more and the government saying it has made a fair and generous offer. this morning the criminal bar association announced 80% of members

have voted for a complete walk—out, an unprecedented escalation of a summer of legal discontent with ministers. discontent over funding for the legal aid system that pays for most criminal cases. the row has had a huge impact already on the justice system. now it's going to get worse. there have been 19 days of strike action so far, that's affected more than 6200 separate cases and delayed 11100 trials. now from the 5th of september there will be an indefinite strike. the government says its offer of 15% to barristers here at the old bailey and other courts is far more than other public sector pay deals. but barristers say it falls far short of the 25% needed to correct a decade of cuts and won't apply to existing cases. the upshot, the delay means to trials, criminals going to jail and victims waiting forjustice.

it's taking at the moment 3.5 years for a rape case to come to trial. that means 15%, we don't get paid until the case is concluded. that's15% if i am lucky by the end of 2024, by which time i'm already looking at 10% of inflation now but i don't think it's unfair to say we would simply like this 15% to apply to all cases. we are willing to talk to government about this but please come to the room, don'tjust do this by the way of press releases and e—mails. dominic raab, thejustice secretary here on the left, will not meet barristers to negotiate. ministers say today's vote is irresponsible and unjustified. judges too are alarmed but some also privately sympathetic. barristers predict that unless more cash is injected into criminaljustice, more and more young lawyers will switch to other branches of law to earn a living. their leaders say if that becomes an exodus from crown courts it won't just mean justice delayed. it will mean justice denied. dominic casciani, bbc news.

let's speak now to shaun wallace, he's a barrister at great james street chambers and also known to many as a tv quizzer on the chase. thank you for being with us. as a brewster will he be following the strike and walking out? absolutely, i've suworted _ strike and walking out? absolutely, i've supported this _ strike and walking out? absolutely, i've supported this wholeheartedly l i've supported this wholeheartedly since april. and we've taken such strong action and it's quite clear from the members that the age realise this is not the only course of action to try to bring back to the negotiating table.- of action to try to bring back to the negotiating table. explain why, because peeple _ the negotiating table. explain why, because people will _ the negotiating table. explain why, because people will say _ the negotiating table. explain why, because people will say hang - the negotiating table. explain why, because people will say hang on i the negotiating table. explain why, because people will say hang on al because people will say hang on a minute, where do to get a fee rise from the end of next month and i think more than £7,000 per year extra and a lot of people are saying that's a pretty good deal, i would not mind that.—

not mind that. doesn't take into account that _ not mind that. doesn't take into account that currently, - not mind that. doesn't take into account that currently, there - not mind that. doesn't take into| account that currently, there are 59,000 cases which are due to the backlog prior to the pandemic starting in march 2020, there are 41 cases and they've gone up incrementally to some 59,000 cases that simply means that in relation to those cases, those who really work hard and the young junior are no more than £12,000 and that's lovely £6 25 per hour which is below, far below the national minimum wage. the government basically put outstanding orders saying that the 1st of october, they're going to get a £7,000 increase, but the reality is that it should apply to existing cases because by the time that you heard in the report, you don't get paid until the end of those cases and by the time you do receive the fees, the time you do receive the fees, the reality is waiting for inflation

and the government really should listen to what we're saying as far the urgent need for the money to be paid to existing cases.— paid to existing cases. summary cunninul paid to existing cases. summary cunningly £12,000 _ paid to existing cases. summary cunningly £12,000 a _ paid to existing cases. summary cunningly £12,000 a year, - paid to existing cases. summary cunningly £12,000 a year, some paid to existing cases. summary - cunningly £12,000 a year, some say that they're earning below the minimum wage but the public perception is that it's generally quite a well—paid job in some barristers are in the millions. that's due to the headlines of the so—called fat were supposed to have taken the training to pass way back in 1990 by certain sections of the media. but the reality is that so far as the criminal, that is publicly funded work by the taxpayer and they do not take into account the hard work in the long hours at the hard work in the long hours at the members put in in terms of the cases and the reality is, by the

time you travel, tax and by the time you take off other expenses, the reality is that the income received by this is very paltry indeed. find by this is very paltry indeed. and ou're by this is very paltry indeed. and you're going _ by this is very paltry indeed. and you're going to — by this is very paltry indeed. and you're going tojoin the strike in you're going to join the strike in the state is irresponsible and simply will see more victims of crime facing further delays and distress. ., , crime facing further delays and distress. . , , ., distress. the reality is that we take this decision _ distress. the reality is that we take this decision with - distress. the reality is that we take this decision with a - distress. the reality is that we j take this decision with a heavy heart, it's a situation where were hoarding the country to ransom, the reality is that even prior to us taking this very difficult decision, the backlog of cases were reaching nearly 60,000 in the government has done very little to actually invest in the criminaljustice system to ensure that the backlog had been reduced and so, the reality is that the government should really look at themselves in the mirror as opposed to pointing an accusatory finger.

thank you very much for being with us and putting wood is the barristers case for industrial action. thank you very much. an investigation by the bbc�*s panorama programme has uncovered a vast online community, secretly sharing and trading sexual images and videos of women from across the uk —— without their consent. the group —— on the social media site, reddit —— the group on the social media site, reddit, has now been closed. but concerns are growing that this is just the latest part of a disturbing new trend. and a warning that you may find this report from monika plaha. upsetting. i felt so objectified and i felt as though i was their property. when i saw it, i wasjust shocked myself because i was like, is that even me? these are the voices of the women whose pictures were shared online

without them ever knowing. hi, guys! hope everyone's having a good saturday. tanvi is an influencer. a photo from her instagram account had been posted on the social media site reddit, in a group dedicated to men leering at south asian women. i saw so many men commenting about, trying to find out information about me — my name, where i live, the things they would do to me, which were both degrading and sexual. they were calling me names. some of the images in this group are explicit and private, probably originally sent between partners. in other posts, women appear to have been secretly filmed while having sex, like aisha. we've changed her name and voice to protect her identity. i stopped socialising. i stopped going out of the house. i was in and out of psychiatric units. it was just always self—harming, suicidalattempts, because it's coming to a point where i can't bear life any more. the group was hosted by reddit. the social media site has 50 million daily users worldwide. people can set up their own

communities and discuss almost anything, but i found several groups on this site where users are trading images — some of a sexual nature — without consent. two years ago, a stranger contacted georgie on social media to say a folder of her explicit images were being shared online. this time, it wasn't on reddit. i remembered those pictures, and they were ones that i shared with an ex—partner many years before that i was assured by that ex—partner had been deleted. despite having a written admission of guilt in a text message, because he doesn't claim to have wanted to hurt me, i was told by the police that there was nothing they could do. the law currently offers limited legal protection to any women whose intimate images are leaked on the internet. "collector culture" is the term - that's used because many of the men

collect these images| in large repositories. the problem is, the law only focuses on the kind of malicious _ ex—partner sharing an image, the kind of revenge porn, - and this only covers a small number of cases of intimate image abuse. . back on the same reddit group tanvi and aisha were posted on, our investigation also found explicit images of at least 150 different women, as well as thousands of non—consensual images and videos. reddit told us its safety teams regularly take action against communities and users for this behaviour. my message out there for all the people that are doing this — please, just stop this. and anyone that's obviously going through this, just speak up, and you do have a voice. when you are held accountable, when it is illegal and when the government does impose bills and laws, that's when you're going to be in serious trouble. for now, the law and the tech companies are struggling to combat this abuse, but ultimate responsibility lies with the thousands

of anonymous users trading, selling and sharing these explicit images. monika plaha, bbc news. here with me now is clare mcglynn who is a professor of law at the university of durham. she has a particular expertise in the legal regulation of pornography, image—based sexual abuse and sexual violence. it is deeply disturbing, how widespread do you think this is online, this kind of abuse? it is uuite online, this kind of abuse? it is quite difficult _ online, this kind of abuse? it is quite difficult to _ online, this kind of abuse? it 3 quite difficult to tell because this is a hit in the harm. as you saw on the clip, many women don't even know the clip, many women don't even know the images have been taken of them let alone shared on these sorts of group chats and websites. but we are seeing more women coming forward having found out that they're being victimised and organisations like the revenge porn helpline or

reporting that more people are coming forward to seek their help to get these images taken down. so, it's an alarming trend that seems to be growing and by which action needs to be taken. ., , , , be growing and by which action needs to be taken-— to be taken. there two types of action that _ to be taken. there two types of action that could _ to be taken. there two types of action that could potentially - to be taken. there two types of action that could potentially be| action that could potentially be taken, led by the social media companies themselves and one by legislatures in terms of the law. let's talk about the law, first of all. how can that be tightened or changed to tackle this kind of online abuse? we changed to tackle this kind of online abuse?— changed to tackle this kind of online abuse? ~ ., online abuse? we need an urgent chance online abuse? we need an urgent change because _ online abuse? we need an urgent change because as _ online abuse? we need an urgent change because as you _ online abuse? we need an urgent change because as you see, - online abuse? we need an urgent change because as you see, the l online abuse? we need an urgent l change because as you see, the law currently doesn't cover the treating and sharing of these intimate images like this because the law at the moment requires proof that you intended to cause someone harmed in these men don't actually want the victims to find out. that is a gaping loophole that needs closed and it's quite straightforward and can be done in the online safety bill returned to parliament in the autumn to ensure that victims of some form of redress. that is the

criminal law that each straightening. and platforms also have a responsibility here we are looking at the online safety bill to really require these platforms to remove content swifter than they are at the moment and to ban users were selling and treating and sharing these images and closing down these groups, all of that action needs to be done much quicker than it is at the moment. be done much quicker than it is at the moment-— be done much quicker than it is at the moment. ., ., . , ., the moment. you might say archery to the moment. you might say archery to the companies — the moment. you might say archery to the companies even _ the moment. you might say archery to the companies even though _ the moment. you might say archery to the companies even though these - the companies even though these groups are there, to the have enough moderators checking all the content and note that this is going on? sometimes they do and they're just too slow to take material down, they do have moderators with these companies need to be invested far more making the platform safe and free for others to use. sometimes, they might not be aware of it but there too many occasions in which they can take some of this type of

abuse and also other scenarios and they are too slow to act about it. needs to be a far greater priority that they try to make the internet a safer place for all of us to be there and not fear this kind of abuse and humiliation. and you can watch the full story of how panorama unmasked the man behind this group on the secret world of nudes at 8pm on bbc one or on iplayer now. and if you've been affected by anything in this report or would like help, you can contact the bbc�*s action line online. the headlines on bbc news. the battle to become the next prime minister conservative leadership

the office for budget responsibility. rishi sunak says that's just trying to avoid scrutiny because her sons don't really add up and she can't promise tax cuts and other areas so she will actually increase with the last two weeks to 90, increase with the last two weeks to go, the bad blood between the two campaigns, the big dividing line remains the economy and the cost—of—living and beheaded big ken today that were liz truss to win and offer him a seat in her government, he would turn it down. some students across england and wales are still waiting for their btec grades, five days after they were due to be released. the exam board pearson, who are responsible for the grades, have apologised. they added that only a small number of students are affected by the delay.

russia's security service, the fsb, says it has established that ukraine was behind the killing on saturday of daria dugina — daughter of the prominent ultranationalist thinker, aleksandr dugin. the fsb says a ukrainian intelligence agent and her daughter came to russia injuly and rented a flat in moscow so as to monitor daria dugina's movements. they also allegedly attended the patriotic festival outside moscow, where daria and herfather were guests of honour. she died in a car bomb on her way back from that event. ukraine has vehemently denied any involvement. let's talk to mykhailo samus who is military analyst and director at the ukrainian independent platform new geopolitics research network. ukraine is accused of this killing, do you think it was responsible? i’m do you think it was responsible? i'm not too do you think it was responsible? i“n not too sure, if it's a funny story

but i, ukrainian pleats on the car, to moscow for literally one month and after this, the easy to ican i can not imagine. it will be familiar with the situation with her in the activities for 30 years even more i would say that it is very probably connected to his commercial activities because actually, he is well known and a propagandist and she is always been trying to create some illusion of mystery and ideas

sure that ukraine needs to kill him. —— fascist. it was the reason to kill his daughter? his daughter was a famous person at all and especially in ukraine. so, it's kind of connected to ukraine and russia. i'm sure it was commercial conflict between dugin and some oligarchs because dugin got money for military channels and different oligarchs trying to create some projects. but i know that's connected to ukraine at all. ., ., , ., , at all. could to get your views we may never _ at all. could to get your views we may never know _ at all. could to get your views we may never know the _ at all. could to get your views we may never know the answer. - at all. could to get your views we may never know the answer. but| may never know the answer. but military analysts and director of the new geopolitics research network and thank you very much indeed for being with us. thank you for your

good evening. ellen white, england's all—time leading goalscorer, has announced her retirement. the 33—year—old said it was one of the hardest decisions but wanted to go out on her terms. she scored 52 goals in 113 games for her country, representing great britain at the 2012 olympics as well. she was part of the team that won the women's euros last month too. in a lengthy social media post entitled thank you football, she said it was the greatest honour to represent england, adding the next generation can make their dreams come true as well. tributes have streamed in. carly telford said what a player but more importantly what a person. city and england teammate lauren hemp described her as one in a million. rachel daly said she was the best of the best. manchester united versus liverpool is always one of the biggest fixtures in english football. there's added importance tonight. neither side has managed a win in their opening two games — and there could be more protests ahead of the game too. 0lly foster is outside old trafford for us. 0lly. all is not rosy for manchester united this season so far? certainly not. you would _

two seasons ago, this fixture was called off, that was sparked by the european super league that was aborted, but united were one of the architects of that, that match had to be postponed when united fans stormed the ground and we had scuffles with police and stewards. 0ne france group has asked fans to congregate about a mile from here and march on the ground this evening to make their feelings known once again, just as they did on the first match of the season here against brighton. this isn't about these bad results. forthe brighton. this isn't about these bad results. for the last 17 years they have been demonstrating against the owners, the glazerfamily, firstly financially, the huge amounts of debt that they have heaped on the club, and in the last five years with no trophies, the huge turnover of managers, they have really been criticised for the strategy on the football side of things, and you just feel that there is so much discontent, and we wonder whether thatis discontent, and we wonder whether that is going to be aired yet again this evening for what is a huge

fixture so early in the season. ahshd fixture so early in the season. and manchester _ fixture so early in the season. and manchester united, you wouldn't expect them to be in the position they are in in the table. many people predicted that liverpool could be fighting for the title, but they have started the season slowly. how much importance to think they are placing on this fixture, regardless of the fact that the opponent is united? for regardless of the fact that the opponent is united?— regardless of the fact that the opponent is united? regardless of the fact that the o- onent is united? ., ,., ., opponent is united? for both of them it is absolutely _ opponent is united? for both of them it is absolutely huge. _ opponent is united? for both of them it is absolutely huge. history - opponent is united? for both of them it is absolutely huge. history is - opponent is united? for both of them it is absolutely huge. history is on - it is absolutely huge. history is on their side. it is absolutely huge. history is on theirside. it it is absolutely huge. history is on their side. it is not going to help them with their new signing, darwin eunice is now banned for three matches, very lucky that roberto firmino should be fit again to come back into the side. liverpool have had a very shaky start to the season, and theirfans had a very shaky start to the season, and their fans will be looking towards the top half of the table, and their traditional rivals manchester city, yes they slipped up and only second in the table because they drew 3—3 against newcastle, on they drew 3—3 against newcastle, on the way that arsenal have started as well, yes they would love to be keeping pace with those at the top of the table, but it is only the

third match of the season, but for all those other reasons, and you go back to the tradition and the rivalry between these two clubs, manchester united and liverpool, whatever happens here, whatever the result, at about ten o'clock this evening, it will be very significant. it evening, it will be very significant.— evening, it will be very significant. it will be an interesting _ significant. it will be an interesting atmosphere significant. it will be an i interesting atmosphere at significant. it will be an - interesting atmosphere at old trafford. thank you very much. just one other story to bring you. the welsh fire are chasing 123 to beat southern brave for their first win of this year's women's hundred. captain alex hartley impressed with the ball for the cardiff based side. she took one wicket and conceded just 12 runs off her 20 balls. it's live on bbc two. they need 36 runs offjust 15 deliveries, but an eighth wicket has nowjust deliveries, but an eighth wicket has now just fallen, deliveries, but an eighth wicket has nowjust fallen, so it looks like the welsh are going to be struggling

to pick up a win from that one. that is all your support for now. definitely going to be watching the manchester united and liverpool game tonight, thank you very much. the former boss of formula one, bernie ecclestone, has indicated a plea of not guilty to a charge of fraud at westminster magistrates�* court. the 91—year—old is accused of failing to declare overseas assets worth around 400 million pounds to the government. 0ur correspondent angus crawford was in court. very brief hearing this morning. a preliminary hearing. he arrived flanked by his lawyer, the diminutive figure of bernie ecclestone sporting a beard, dark suit, dark tie. he appeared in court for less than about ten minutes and confirmed his name, age, 91, and address. and he pleaded not guilty, he said he would plead not guilty to the charge at crown court at southwark. this charge relates to one charge of fraud by misrepresentation. the allegation is that he simply didn't declare to the tax

authorities the existence of a trust based in singapore which contained more than £400 million. now he was told that he should appear again at southwark crown court in september. angus crawford with that report. more events have been taking place today to remember michael collins, the politician and ira leader, who was killed this day 100 years ago. yesterday, a ceremony was held in county cork where he died. at the time, collins was a member of the northern ireland parliament, but never took his seat. 0ur correspondent mark simpson has been looking back on his remarkable life. michael collins, politician, ira leader and member of parliament for armagh. he was elected to the first northern ireland parliament in 1921, the year before his death. he was

one of six sinn fein politicians elected. none of them took their seats in what was a chamber dominated by unionists and led by sirjames craig, the first prime minister of northern ireland. at the time, every move made by michael collins was watched closely by unionists. he collins was watched closely by unionists. ., collins was watched closely by unionists. . ., , unionists. he had a complicated relationship _ unionists. he had a complicated relationship with _ unionists. he had a complicated relationship with the _ unionists. he had a complicated relationship with the north. - unionists. he had a complicated. relationship with the north. early in 1922 on the one hand he had been agreeing packed with james craig about various to treaty handover of power is on things like that. at the same time, he had been encouraging units from the southern ira to destabilise the border. ihe units from the southern ira to destabilise the border. he was killed not by — destabilise the border. he was killed not by a _ destabilise the border. he was killed not by a british - destabilise the border. he was killed not by a british bullet i destabilise the border. he was | killed not by a british bullet but one fired by a fellow irishman during the irish civil war. republicans are split over the anglo—irish treaty. collins was killed in the cork countryside in an ambush by anti—treaty forces. there ambush by anti-treaty forces. there are a lot of — ambush by anti-treaty forces. there

that treaty so important? that treaty from — that treaty so important? that treaty from the _ that treaty so important? that treaty from the point - that treaty so important? that treaty from the point of i that treaty so important? trust treaty from the point of view of collins�* supporters, and a large number of people in ireland at the time, gave ireland a chance as collins put it, the freedom to achieve realfreedom, so it wasn�*t the full republic, it wasn�*t a united ireland, but it was a free state, and ireland would govern itself, it would stay within the british empire, but collins saw it as a stepping stone. to his enemies, it really was a betrayal. they said they fought for a republic, a united ireland, a republic with no connection to the british crown. now they say they were being given a treaty where they had to swear allegiance to the british king, and that was anathema, and that was what caused irishman to go to war against each other and because the assassination of michael collins, or the death of michael collins, 100 years ago today. bhd the death of michael collins, 100 years ago today-— the death of michael collins, 100 years ago today. and many people have asked — years ago today. and many people have asked the _ years ago today. and many people have asked the question, - years ago today. and many people have asked the question, what i years ago today. and many people i have asked the question, what would have asked the question, what would have happened had he lived, had he

not been killed that day? this have happened had he lived, had he not been killed that day?— not been killed that day? this is the treat not been killed that day? this is the great what _ not been killed that day? this is the great what if _ not been killed that day? this is the great what if of _ not been killed that day? this is the great what if of irish - not been killed that day? this is| the great what if of irish history, and there has been a bit of a tendency to, every problematic question that came up in ireland when i was growing up or as a young aduu when i was growing up or as a young adult was, what would collins have said about this? we don�*t know. he died at the age of 31. at the time that he died, even his most bitter enemies would have acknowledged his extraordinary skill as an intelligence officer, as the man who directed the intelligence war against the british, but also as minister of finance. his great skill was as an organiser and an administrator, and it is somewhat ironic if inevitable that because he is this sort of tall, good—looking character with a reputation for being warm and avuncular that he is seen as the kind of lost heroic guerrilla leader, when in reality his skill was as a governor, whose skill was to make things happen and make them happen on time. he had no patience for people who are not punctual, who didn�*t write down what

exactly was spent on what in the administration of the war. and so i think if one tries to stand back and look at his contribution, it was first of all as somebody who gave irish people the confidence that they could defeat the forces of the british empire, and even though that didn�*t come about in a total sense, we ended with partition, we ended with ireland still part of the british empire in 1922, but it did boost the self—confidence of people like my grandmother and her brothers, who fought in the ira under collins, who worshipped him and followed him in the civil war, and followed him in the civil war, and i think the big lesson of his life, if we look at the kind of crisis we are facing now around the good friday agreement, that remarkable deal between britain and ireland, and the parties on the island of ireland, is that collins believe in discipline, he believed in hard work and in practical patriotism and taking risks for peace, that is his enduring legacy. and i think when he agreed to sign a

treaty that ultimately led to his death, he said he was signing it to avoid war, because he didn�*t want war, and he wanted peace. avoid war, because he didn't want war, and he wanted peace. collins had been threatened, _ war, and he wanted peace. collins had been threatened, let's - war, and he wanted peace. collins had been threatened, let's not i had been threatened, let�*s not forget this, the irish delegation had been threatened by lloyd george with a terrible war if they didn�*t sign the treaty. collins knew very well that the ira was exhausted. he worried about the capacity of the irish people and the willingness of the irish people to endure yet more war. he sensed that out there in the countryside where some of the worst of the fighting took place that people wanted peace, and they would settle for this measure of freedom in the belief that they could work towards a greater freedom. in the belief that they could work towards a greaterfreedom. now, to combat the speculation of what he would have thought about this or that or the situation in northern ireland for example, i think collins would have been a pragmatist in approaching the situation. i think he is the kind of person from everything we know about him, reading the historical facts,

everything we know about him, reading the historicalfacts, that he is somebody who would have supported the good friday agreement. that is the big question of our time, 100 years later, is where do we now go in terms notjust of the relationship between dublin and london, but the relationships on the island of ireland. can we finally get to a place where the mechanisms of government which have been agreed can be restored, and we get on with the business of trying to make it the business of trying to make it the best, most productive, most generous vision of society on the island of ireland. �*icrcr generous vision of society on the island of ireland.— island of ireland. 100 years of irish island of ireland. 100 years of irish history — island of ireland. 100 years of irish history summed - island of ireland. 100 years of irish history summed up i island of ireland. 100 years of irish history summed up in i island of ireland. 100 years of. irish history summed up in four island of ireland. 100 years of i irish history summed up in four or five minutes there, fergal keane, thank you very much indeed. we have been talking about the strike by criminal barristers in england and wales. there is also industrial action by dock workers at felixstowe. they are on strike now for a second day. nearly 2,000 members of the unite

union began an eight—day walk—out yesterday, in a dispute over pay. the union described a 7% pay offer from the port operator as "significantly below" the rate of inflation — which is currently just over 10%. and rubbish is continuing to pile up on the streets of edinburgh as a strike by the city�*s bin collectors enters its second week. the industrial action — which is set to last 12 days and coincides with the edinburgh fringe festival — comes after unions rejected a pay offer. 0ur scotland correspondent james shaw reports from the city just a few days since the start of this strike and already edinburgh and its famous castle are looking very different. 0verflowing bins and rubbish strewn across pavements throughout the city. the areas where festivalgoers gather and enjoy the nightlife are the worst affected. this is the grassmarket, one of the centres of the old town of edinburgh where people who are coming to enjoy fringe events come to drink at this row

of bars all the way down the street here. but you can already see the impact of this refuse strike. piles of rubbish just beginning to mount up as they have over the last four days. people arriving at waverley station are confronted by the new reality of this city, sometimes called the athens of the north. i love scotland, i love edinburgh. but this is really sad. we will do what we have come here for but, yeah, it's not optimal. terrible. well, they should pay the people what they�*re asking for. a new pay deal for refuse workers is on the table, but the strike will not be called off unless they accept it. the leader of the council is pleading with tenants, housing associations and businesses to do what they can to help. but many will be wondering how it could all have gone so wrong. james shaw, bbc news, edinburgh.

the duke and duchess of cambridge have announced they are moving their family from kensington palace in west london to a cottage on the queen�*s windsor estate. their new home, adelaide cottage, is a ten—minute walk from windsor castle. alongside announcing their move, the duke and duchess also confirmed their three childreen would be switching schools. a new home and a new school, and i think it tells us that, as we know, that the cambridges are absolutely determined that their three children should have as normal an upbringing as possible, and preferably in a rural setting, so they are moving to adelaide cottage, which is on the home parkjust about ten minutes away from windsor castle here, and the three children, george, charlotte and louis will be starting at lambrook school next month. this is described as a leading co—educational prep school not far

from ascot. it has been in existence for about 160 years and has 600 pupils aged between three and 13 and is set in 52 acres of its own grounds. the other thing that this tells us is william and catherine are content to live in what by royal standards is a pretty modest home. it is adelaide cottage, the clue is in the title. four bedrooms, so they will be no live in staff, inevitably there will be comparisons drawn with there will be comparisons drawn with the kind of accommodation that the have chosen for themselves —— like the duke and duchess of chosen for themselves in california, much more spacious. and this brings the cambridges right here in windsor, it means that prince william will be very close to his grandmother, and she of course is relying more and more on prince charles and william for advice on the future notjust of the monarchy but of the royal family, so although the cambridges

will keep their home in norfolk, anmer hall, they will keep their apartment at kensington palace, a spacious apartment, it should be said, their main home from now on will be here in windsor. nick witchell reporting. from next month, state schools will have to remove unnecessary branding from their uniforms in order to reduce costs for parents. colletta smith reports. the start of another busy day at the uniform project. that the start of another busy day at the uniform project.— uniform pro'ect. that is how a uniform project. that is how a uniform room, _ uniform project. that is how a uniform room, this _ uniform project. that is how a uniform room, this is - uniform project. that is how a uniform room, this is all- uniform project. that is how a uniform room, this is all a i uniform project. that is how a i uniform room, this is all a primary stock. ., , , ., uniform room, this is all a primary stock. . , , ., stock. emma is suiting and booting children from _ stock. emma is suiting and booting children from across _ stock. emma is suiting and booting children from across nottingham i stock. emma is suiting and booting | children from across nottingham as more parents than ever turned to her for help. more parents than ever turned to her for hel. ~ �* ., more parents than ever turned to her forhel. ~ �* ., more parents than ever turned to her forhel.~ �* ., ., ,, , for help. we've got some addresses. we have also — for help. we've got some addresses. we have also got _ for help. we've got some addresses. we have also got our— for help. we've got some addresses. we have also got our blues, - for help. we've got some addresses. we have also got our blues, navies, | we have also got our blues, navies, and we have got reds just over there. and we have got reds 'ust over there. ,, , , ., and we have got reds 'ust over there. ,, , , . . , there. she is frustrated so many secondary _ there. she is frustrated so many secondary schools _ there. she is frustrated so many secondary schools are _ there. she is frustrated so many secondary schools are still i secondary schools are still insisting on branded clothes. you have not insisting on branded clothes. you have got to _ insisting on branded clothes. you have got to cater _ insisting on branded clothes. ym. have got to cater to your parental community within the school, and you

it means that you can't really buy your way out of a tantrum with entertainment, so you'll only get 30 seconds of tantrum free time for every minute of entertainment you give. food will help. it won't surprise anybody to know that you can bribe children with food, but there's an upper limit. so any more than two snacks an hour and you're looking at sugar crashes, bathroom breaks, car sickness and the last part is siblings. i'm afraid they don't help. so any time you've got siblings in the car, you're having to fight for attention. and that, again, speeds up tantrums. give them a good book, that�*s what i say. is there a formula for the weather? ben roach can tell us. hopefully not as complicated as the one you had there! good afternoon. rainfall amounts have varied, but it has been quite murky in places, that was the scene across pontypridd earlier on. you can see where we have had the heaviest rain drifting across parts of northern england, quite wet weather across parts of

yorkshire and lincolnshire as we head into the first part of the evening, some patches of rain elsewhere, but a lot of cloud through the night and where that breaks to reveal clear spells, they are likely to fill in with some mist and fog, and certainly turning the key for some coasts of the southwest, drizzly as well. temperatures across england and wales 16 or 17 degrees, warm and humid for northern ireland and scotland as well, and humid is a part of the weather story for tomorrow, some very warm weather and a scattering of showers. low pressure in charge of the scene up to the north—west, a couple of little weather fronts working through, so that is going to generate showery weather at times, but we will all find ourselves in the midst of this rather humid air, particularly down towards the south where it will bring some rather misty, murky conditions across parts of wales in the south—west, generally cloud through the day, she was at times, especially for western and northern times, northern ireland should have a fighting chance of seeing some spells of sunshine, south—east england probably sunny

for much of the day, and here very warm indeed, 27, 20 8 degrees across parts of east anglia, but even further north, glasgow, belfast getting into the low 20s celsius. through tuesday night, wet weather gather still south—west and that will push its way across many parts of the uk during wednesday, setting itself up as this band of cloud and rain. to the north—west of that it will turn a little cooler and fresher, but to the south—east in that warm and humid air, temperatures could well get up to around 29 degrees, so pretty hot for the middle part of the week. but this band of cloud and rain in association with this frontal system will work its way south—east. not much rain left as it gets down to the south—east corner, but that should bring fresh conditions, and with high pressure building in, thursday should be dry for most with spells of sunshine, a little more cloud into northern ireland in western scotland may be a little rain, and for many, a slightly fresher feel. rain, and for many, a slightly fresherfeel. still rain, and for many, a slightly fresher feel. still quite warm rain, and for many, a slightly fresherfeel. still quite warm down towards the south—east corner.

towards the weekend, a bank holiday weekend for most of us, most places should be dry with some spells of sunshine around, although northern ireland and scotland are always likely to see a bit more cloud in some outbreaks of rain at times. that�*s all from the for now.
