historical tweets from 2010, one of which he posted, not many english people live in london. i need to learn a new language. he did admit that he posted it. he said that it was completely unacceptable and he has since apologised for it a number of times. mr vaughan was also asked by his own solicitor to confirm a witness statement in that he wrote that i had been involved in professional cricket for more than 30 years and i have never been involved in a disciplinary offence. the allegation against me, which i deny, goes against my values, morals and my personality. in fact, he said the first time he became aware of this was as part of a yorkshire cricket club investigation in december, 2020. he went on to say, i have always believed and championed that a fundamental aspect of a dressing room is culture and that has to be inclusive. it continues here throughout the day. thank you. meanwhile adil rashid,

1:38 pm
wales record goal—scorer helen ward has announced her retirement from football. the 36—year—old has played under the five games for wales, scoring 44 goals. wales, who plays for watford, will also bring her club career to an end at the end of the season. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. a prominent lawyer in the us state of south carolina — who's the subject of netflix's latest true crime documentary — has been found guilty of killing his wife and son. prosecutors said alex murdaugh wanted to distract attention from the fact he stole millions of dollars from clients, to fund an expensive drug habit. garry o'donoghue has this report. a small town courthouse in south carolina, but a dramatic trial that has gripped the nation's imagination. minimum sentence for murder... after nearly six weeks of evidence but less than three hours of deliberation, the jury returned its verdict on both murder charges.
1:39 pm
docket number 2022 6515. verdict, guilty. signed by the foreperson of the jury. outside the court, the prosecutor said justice had been done. if you do wrong, if you break the law, if you murder, justice will be done in south carolina. the murdaugh family dominated the legal world in this picturesque part of south carolina. for decades, the family held key prosecutor roles in several counties. and their private law firm was seen almost as powerful as law enforcement itself. it was at this 1700—acre property that the bodies of maggie and paul murdaugh were found brutally murdered almost two years ago. the culmination of a series of events that had seen three other separate suspicious deaths connected to the family. three months later, alex murdaugh, accused of killing his wife and son, was also to admit to a botched suicide attempt involving a $10 billion insurance claim, charges for which are still pending.
1:40 pm
but during the murder trial, he was adamant he was innocent. did you take this gun or any gun like it and blow your son's brains out onjune 7, or any day, or any time? no, i did not. and he may be taken away. as he left the courtroom, murdaugh mouthed "i love you" to his son buster, who was in the public gallery. he will be sentenced later today and could get anything from 30 years to life without parole. but that isn't the end of it for alex murdaugh. he still faces dozens of other charges for financial crimes and investigations into other suspicious deaths connected to the family. gary o'donoghue, bbc news. the island ofjersey spent five years under nazi occupation during the second world war and slave workers from nations across europe were forced to dig thousands of metres of tunnels below ground. today the jersey war tunnels are preserved as a monument to those who worked there. electrician steen le
1:41 pm
gresley was part of a team carrying out winter maintenance on the tunnels, when he thought he spotted a familiar face. robert hall has the story. the gateway to so much ofjersey�*s wartime history. the war tunnels burrowed deep into the hillside by an army of forced workers. back—breaking months in the dark and the danger, underfed and ill—treated. so many would never return home. there was a huge amount of fortification work done on these islands. it was intended directly from hitler that they would be an impregnable fortress. and tunnels like this were built both in guernsey and injersey to either store ammunition, store rations, food, as a way of being completely impregnable to allied bombing and invasion. one of the stories told here centres on antonio martinez, who spent four years working in the tunnels. and it caught the eye of an electrician carrying out winter maintenance.
1:42 pm
steen le gresley recognised his own great grandfather, and he invited his great uncle to make absolutely sure. yeah, that's my dad. hard as nails, he was. he was a good father. he looked after us. we never had to worry. we were brought up respectfully. he told me, you treat older women as you would your mother, give them the respect you give your mother. you treat younger women as you would your sisters. you had to have a german soldier with you or an officer or a machine gun trooper would shoot you down. and they'd done it to two moroccans, they came running out screaming, and they shot them down. he may have been haunted by memories of his time in the tunnels and the friends he lost, but when the occupation ended, antonio decided to make his home injersey. i think it's very interesting to note that some of the people who were sent here under such tragic
1:43 pm
circumstances sort of chose to remain here after the occupation and chose to settle here. and i think it's lovely that jersey was able to offer a little something back. heading for his own shift underground, steen's head is full of the knowledge he now shares. to think back to what conditions he would have worked in, and as much as it's cold now, it must have been a lot colder back then. we've got heaters now, whereas back when they were putting it in, they wouldn't have had the heating and the dangers that they would have come across with the unfinished tunnels and making the tunnels in general. there's a lot that i can think back on that he might have had to go through. it's a real link to the past to be placing hands on those places that his great grandfather placed his hands on over 80 years ago. so it must be special every time he comes in here. i can only say i've got respect for the people that worked in here at the time and the level
1:44 pm
of effort they would have had to put in, and the forced effort that they would have had to put in. so it's definitely a unique experience working down here. over the decades, thousands of visitors have come here to learn more about the occupation years. this is another piece of another family puzzle. robert hall, bbc news, jersey. a woman who became pregnant at the hands of her abuser aged 1a is now

attack in the north west is still very real. latest figures show a 27% jump in referrals in the region to the government's anti—terrorism prevent scheme. our social affairs corresopondent abbiejones has this exclusive report. i'd just sit and watch propaganda for hours and hours on end. videos, looking through forums and posts. it was unbelievably easy to access stuff online. we live in a sleepy little town. i never thought we'd be impacted by extremism. i thought it only went on in big cities. john, not his real name, wasjust 15 when he became involved with the far right through his laptop in his bedroom at home. it started when i saw this post about british soldiers on the streets. i connected to that because someone in my family was a soldier and was struggling. ijoined this group online and people were saying it was because we were
1:49 pm
sending off billions in foreign aid and helping refugees, and a naive 15—year—old me believed that. itjust took one click ofjoining a forum before i'd been essentially manipulated to hate islam. before the manchester arena attackjohn's growing extremist views were confined to the internet, but the bombing was a turning point. to see manchester attacked, a city where i spent a lot of my time, it really fuelled my anger. i stopped caring who knew about my involvement and moved from being online to actively trying to recruit people. i started attending demos and meeting people face to face. it was like being behind enemy lines. it was just a massive amount of adrenaline. i asked him what they were all about, and all he would say was grooming. so i decided to take him to the next one. and in the car he spoke to me more than he had in months. he was so excited and giddy. i told him i'd drop him off, but i went and i sat in a bus shelter opposite,
1:50 pm
and within ten minutes my world just fell apart. i watched him start marching and singing racial slurs. my whole world came crashing down. the wayjohn was radicalised is becoming increasingly common. counterterrorism experts say the internet is fuelling extremism and lockdown made that worse. those at risk, many of them young people, spent longer online alone. between 2015 to 2018, - moss side—hulme was a big hunting ground for people trying to recruit young people, i especially for is and other related groups. due to social deprivation, i people feeling marginalised, disenfranchised. he's been working to combat extremism in manchester since just before the arena bombing. he's helped people escape the clutches of hate preachers and delivers workshops in mosques, schools and community centres.
1:51 pm
he says the attack put the city under an uncomfortable spotlight. a small pocket of neighbourhoods in south manchester just a couple of miles wide, producing over 20 extremists, including the abedi brothers. do you think things are a bit better now? much better now. so i think muslim community groups and organisations - who had their heads in the sand, |they all started to be proactive. | all the mosques are i now around moss side, they are all proactive, they— are all doing youth programmes, they are all trying to do retreats. john and his mum are now rebuilding their lives. after being reported by someone at college, john was referred to prevent. he now works for the charity exit hate, which helps people leave far right groups. roughly 70% of people we engage with are recruited online. referrals are up massively. i still don't feel we are done with the wave of lockdown. do you think it's still that easy for young people to get involved?
1:52 pm
it's just as easy, if not easier. in terms of the possibility of a big scale terrorist attack in a different setting the possibility is still very real. the former wales footballer, jason bowen, says his first thoughts were for his wife and children, after he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease. the 50—year—old, who played for swansea city, cardiff and newport county during his career, is now undergoing treatment at a clinic in newport, which specialises in rehabilitation for people with neurological conditions. george zielinski reports. saved by the keeper, that's 3—1. that is it now. jason bowen doing what he often did for teams like cardiff, swansea and newport county. a committed professional, he played until he was a0 before hanging up his boots. during his long career, jason bowen faced many challenges. the biggest, though, awaits him now. i was just in the house with my wife and ijust had a lot of twitching in
1:53 pm
my muscles, down my left side and my hand was getting numb, a little bit weaker. so she said, look, you are off, go to the doctors. the doctor saw me at the leisure centre and within five weeks i was diagnosed with mnd. and when you came back and told your family, what was their initial reaction like? coming from the doctor telling my wife and kids, they were heartbroken. in recent months, bowen has been attending the murillo clinic in newport specialising in rehabilitation for people with neurological conditions. i didn't know it was here until we went to a friend's party, really, and the wife got talking to a friend of hers and her daughter works here. she obviously told the wife what goes on here and things and i was in
1:54 pm
straightaway. the saying they have got is maintain until you lose it and they have been really positive, you know? especially mentally as well as physically. the last couple of years, it's just my hand gradually getting a bit worse, i've struggled to do little things like buttons and things like that, and belts and things like that, laces. i still do a lot of things. i know further down the line that things might get a bit more difficult for me. but i will meet them head on and give it as best it a go as i can, you know? you might think your garden is a tranquil haven for wildlife
