and the police say that he was on his way to try and purchase a gun. police also said that on his phone he was carrying an encrypted messaging app called freema. and on that there was details of his plots to not only attack hatton tash, but also to attack any police officers or soldiers that might be there at the time. though today, edward little's barrister tom godfrey said mr little accepts researching, researching the intended targets being hatton tash, he does not accept the intended target being the military or the metropolitan police. so there is still some dispute there between the prosecution and the defence. the courts previously heard that edward little has had a very, very violent past since the age of 15. he's had a string of convictions for things like wounding, carrying a knife, assault for drug dealing. so he's had a very long

and chequered criminal history. at the time that he was arrested, he was living in sheltered accommodation in brighton, but obviously at some point in the course of that offending he seems to have become inspired through some kind of islamist ideology and it's through hatton tash at speaker's corner. speaker's corner of course being the place in london where people are allowed to come and talk about whatever they want. and very often these days there are quite strong religious arguments there between muslim speakers and speakers from other denominations like hatton tash, who is a christian preacher. he'll be sentenced onjuly the 21st. some breaking news — two men have been arrested over the attempted murder of a senior police officer in northern ireland earlier this year. the pair, aged 28 and 70, were arrested following separate searches in county tyrone. detective chief inspectorjohn caldwell was shot several times at a sports centre in omagh in february. he'd been putting footballs into a car with his young son, after coaching a youth sports team,

when he was targeted. a 95—year—old woman is in hospital with life—threatening head injuries after being tasered by police in australia. this is the care home in cooma where clare nowland, who uses a walking frame and suffers from dementia, was tasered when she approached officers with a steak knife. the incident has sparked an outcry from the community who say the response was disproportionate. the new south wales police chief says an investigation is under way. at the time she was tasered, she was approaching police, but it is fair to say at a slow pace. she had a walking frame. but she had a knife. an investigation has commenced and that's called a critical incident investigation. given what was before us at midday on wednesday,

this investigation was nominated as a leveli critical incident. if a threshold is met where it changes from being a departmental issue into a criminal issue, we are certainly mature enough and transparent enough as an organisation to do what has to be done. our sydney correspondent, phil mercer, brought us more details on this story. two police officers were called to this nursing home in the town of cooma in the state of new south wales. it is a relatively short distance to the national capital canberra. there they found the 95—year—old woman who had taken a serrated steak knife from a kitchen and was brandishing the knife. the two officers and the care home staff members try to calm the situation, but according to the police this

elderly woman was advancing towards those police officers and she was tasered twice, once in the chest and once in the back, falling over, fracturing her skull, suffering a bleed on the brain and according to family members they don't expect her to survive these critical head injuries she is being treated for in hospital. so that police investigation you refer to will have to answer many questions, one of which is why the police felt threatened by a 95—year—old woman advancing towards them, using a walking frame and she was just 92" tall and weighing less than 100le. so many questions for the police here in eastern australia to answer. the mastermind behind an online fraud shop used to con victims out of more than £100 million has beenjailed for more than 13 years. tejay fletcher made around £2 million from the ispoof.cc website. he was the founder and leading administrator of the site,

which was brought down last year in the uk's biggest fraud sting. this is what the police had to say after the sentencing. today's result and sentence is the result of a long and complex investigation. by creating the site, fletcher enabled a gateway for thousands of criminals to defraud innocent victims out of millions of pounds. before it was shut down it was growing with a 700 new users registering every week and it was earning £80,000 per week. fletcher was leading an extravagant lifestyle, benefiting from the profits, having no care for the misery he was responsible for. he would often go abroad for long periods of time and he owned luxury cars and watches. 0ur wider investigation into the suspected use

of the site continue. in the uk we have now arrested 169 individuals and we are gathering evidence against them. work is ongoing to identify many more. live now to sean dilley, who's at southwark crown court. tell us more about this remarkable case. that is the word, it is remarkable because there are thousands of victims, conservatively they say £100 million of global losses, a0 million in the uk. but it is unusual because these victims of this absolutely horrendous set of scanning were essentially the victims of the customers of fletcher. what happened in this case, the court heard, is that he was the lead administrator who sat at the websites that's all subscription services to criminals and scammers. that service was something that people would pay up to tens of thousands of pounds for because they would buy minutes to

spoof people's numbers or bank to take one passcodes. in that sense it is very different. the judge, sally cahill, said any latent expressions of remorse from fletcher were not out of remorse or care for the victims, but little personal mitigation were the words that she is. the court heard about the lavish lifestyle. £130,000 for a lamborghini, but he was evasive when was arrested. he had a rolex watch, and i am not the world. just watch expert, but he had another very expensive watch, but the prosecutor joked in court during sentencing saying, it shows you can't trust anyone these days because it was a fake watch. but it was in effect land rover, two land rovers, 1a £130,000 and the other for land rover, two land rovers, 1a £130,000 and the otherfor £100,000. he had essentially taken £200

million in earnings from the bitcoin is that people were using from the scan on this website.— is that people were using from the scan on this website. thank you so much. we all know about the incredible assistance that a trained dog can offer to a blind person, but how can we help our dogs if they lose their sight? when eve welton�*s dog poppy went blind, she learnt new ways to train her and to keep her safe. now she's started a business to help share that knowledge, as serena white reports. meet poppy and her noisiest squeaky toy. she can hear it but she can't see it. her owner, eve welton, discovered herfurry friend had lost her sight at the start of the covid—19 pandemic. when we got the diagnosis, i was really worried about poppy's general quality of life and all the things that we'd done so far. like, ijust thought, we're never going to be able to do that stuff again because we've had such a great life together. we were walking in the peak district every weekend. we were going to agility and then, all of a sudden, life stopped.

faced with an uncertain future, eve founded the underdogs training, specialising in training blind dogs. she's now helping other visually—impaired canines and their owners globally. it could be that your dog's lost their sight, and we need to work on confidence with different textures and sounds. how do we go about giving them a nice, safe approach to training without them bombarding into the coffee table? there's nothing better than when you're helping someone and they come to you and say, "oh, we did this today or we achieved that!" it's just incredible. eve's training has helped others, like lauren in derbyshire. earlier this year, she discovered that her rescue dog, indy, is partially sighted. i've never had a blind dog before and i don't know what the right thing to do for india is. i would be heartbroken if i thought i'd done anything, or not done something that potentially left him scared and kind of back to where he was when i picked him up. that wasn't an option, so... so eve is absolutely fundamental in that.

what a man! good boy. eve hopes she can continue to help other sightless dogs and their owners providing hope and a brighterfuture. i still hear sad stories of dogs being put down because they've gone blind and i really want to just help to show people that actually just because a dog has lost its sight, they can still have an absolutely incredible life. blindness doesn't mean the end of life essentially. a lovely story. now it's time for a look at the weather with sabrina lee. hello. the focus of the showers today mainly across parts of the south, but it's going to be a role reversal as we step through this weekend where it's going to be scotland and northern ireland. that's the outbreaks of rain at times, but largely fine across england and wales with some warm spells of sunshine. so today then we have this cold front with us and some outbreaks of rain and this feature will also spark off some sharp showers. so the main focus of those showers through the rest of today will be across parts of the likes

of northern england, the west midlands, eastern portions of wales, and then down through the west country. if you do catch some of these showers, they could be quite slow—moving and thundery in nature. and some of the drier conditions will be found further north with the best of the sunny spells likely to be across parts of scotland. and if you are stepping out this evening, those temperatures generally sitting in the mid—teens. a few more sharp showers with us this evening. those will push westwards and fade away. and then some outbreaks of rain and drizzle pushing into the likes of northern ireland and scotland. temperatures tonight for many of us getting down to around 6 to 8 degrees celsius locally, a touch lower with some patchy mist and fog developing, too. as for tomorrow, then, most places will see another dry day because of the area of high pressure. but we also have this weather front pushing into the northwest. that will bring more cloud to parts of northern ireland and scotland and eventually some showery rain will start to creep into western areas, which will tend to intensify towards evening. but, actually, for much of england and wales, it's a fine story, dry

and bright with sunshine and patchy cloud, higher uv levels and temperatures in the sunshine getting up into the high teens and low 20s. more of a fresher breeze for parts of the south east. looking further ahead, then, into saturday night and then through sunday, we still have this cold front with us. but by this point it is a weak feature. there will be more cloud for scotland and northern ireland on sunday, but not really much in the way of rain and drizzle left on this. and for england and wales it's going to be another fine day, dry and bright, with some sunshine and patchy cloud. and once again, those temperatures responding in the sunshine into the high teens, low 20s, probably around 21 celsius at best. and then looking further out to next week, as you can see at the moment, it is looking largely dry thanks to high pressure and it should feel pleasantly warm if you are in that afternoon sunshine. that's your forecast.
