arrived in court in the glare of intense media interests at his trial last month, he admitted that he had watch pornography with a teenager but insisted this victim was 16 and consented. he denied there was any sexual abuse but the jury found him guilty of all charges. during the hearing, the court heard a statement from the victim who cannot be named for legal reasons. the teenager described at the abuse left him numb to life and how he lives in a loop of fear and anxiety of it happening again. on sentencing, thejudge of fear and anxiety of it happening again. on sentencing, the judge that the defendant exploited the victims and for his own sexual gratification and for his own sexual gratification and said this was wrong on all levels. schofield worked here for submissive police was suspended on arrest and dismissed after conviction. his crimes are not connected to his police work but today, the force of knowledge public

charge of preparing a terrorist attacked and the terrorist activity pleaded guilty to was essentially planning to murder a christian preacher who often has arguments with muslims and speakers' corner in hyde park in london and a woman called hatton and the offence that he pleaded guilty to his him researching her, researching the location where she wanted to attack her and gathering £5,000 in order to purchase a gun and then going about the act of trying to purchase that gun. when he was arrested, he was in a taxi for which he paid £300 to travel from brighton to london and was carrying £5,000 in cash and a bag and police say he was on his way to try to purchase a gun. and they said on his phone, he was carrying an encrypted messaging app to call in on that there were details of his plot to not only attack her but also to attack any police officers or

soldiers that might be there at the time. but the priest and said that he accepts researching the intended target and he does not accept the intended target being a military or metropolitan police. there's still some dispute there between the prosecution and the court previously heard that he is at a very violent pass since the age of 15, he has a string of crimes. assault, drug dealing and see said a very chequered criminal history —— violent past. he is living in sheltered accommodation in brighton but at some point in the course of that offending, he seems to have become inspired through some kind of islamist ideology and it is through that that he seems to have set about this plan to have this attack happened at speakers' corner, being the place where people are allowed to talk about whatever they want and very often, these are quite strong

religious arguments there between muslim speakers and speakers from other denominations. he will be sentenced onjuly the 21st. a funeral has been held forjordan, the 30—year—old homeless man who was killed on the subway earlier this month. he died after a former marine who was also on the subway put them in a choke hold and pinned him to the ground and witnesses say that he had been shouting at passengers and asking for money but there was no evidence that he had attacked anyone. the man responsible for jordan neely�*s death has been charged with manslaughter. they remember hatton, the reverend sharpton delivered the eulogy. i want to know who decided at the precinct to let this guy go home. i

want to know who called the order that it was all right for this man to choke this brother to death and go home and sleep in his bed. who gave the order of? that it was all right to release him? we cannot live in a city where you can show committed death with no provocation, no weapon, no threat and you go home and sleep in your bed while my family has to put me in the cemetery. there must be equal justice under the law. the fact that the man was arrested and charged was then released on bail but my correspondent is in new york has been following the case. they say he was suffering from a mental health episode when he got onto the subway that day and witnesses described him screaming

about being hungry about needing food and that he was ready to die. and passengers felt scared and threatened but i think his lawyers for the family have made it very clear that he did not touch anybody, he did not assault anybody. at that point, a 24—year—old former marine got up behind jordan and took them down into a choke hold and to other people helped keep them down. they held him like that for several minutes and his lawyers, because he has been charged with second—degree manslaughter have said that he did that as a good samaritan, he did not know actions would lead tojordan neely�*s death but he is trained up his fellow passengers. butjordan neely after the chokehold was unresponsive and died before they got in the hospital.— got in the hospital. when he was ounuer got in the hospital. when he was younger and _ got in the hospital. when he was younger and his _ got in the hospital. when he was younger and his cases _

got in the hospital. when he was younger and his cases made - got in the hospital. when he was - younger and his cases made headlines read around the world and i suppose those part of the reference that are from al sharpton saying that we are tired, we are angry being choked. fix, tired, we are angry being choked. lot of different things that were touched on here in his eulogy. he talked aboutjordan neely being choked most of his life. he talks about the city agencies had let him leave when he knew he needed help and sending them back into the streets in referenced up and sing the choking needs to stop and that we have to stop criminalising mental health in the city and at more support needs to be given. he said on the trend and nobody asked jordan neely if he needed help and he read a bit of scripture saying that people need to get their priorities and their values in order. in the question if on that train, it'd been a white elvis impersonator and a black man would come behind them and

put them down in a choke hold. if the police would've let that person go. because daniel penney was originally questioned and allowed to go home until protesters demanded more action and he was eventually charged. so riverdale sharpton bringing up the race on it as well. and points out thatjordan neely had family was going through a lot of trauma after losing his mother at a young age and took to the streets and he could've turned to a different type of lifestyle that he wanted to be, like michaeljackson, to make people smile. uk is changing attitude towards religion. britons are the least likely nationality to identify his religious following a long—term decline in faith since the 1980s. the research also found that the

share of the ut population who seek god is not important in their lives a record high. the belief in having us decrease to the last four decades, the idea of life after death and hell has remained stable with younger generations are more inclined to believe in both despite being less religious in general. but start to some of the authors, director of the policy institute and bobby, thank you so much for being with us on the programme that is fascinating and terms of the number of decline. of what sort of period? that's the benefit of these long—term studies. this goes back to 1981 and we've gone to see themselves as religious person standard three and ten and 2022 and so is he a similar declines in belief in god as you say from three

quarters down to half of the uk public now and things like heaven. and it's probably because we have younger generations coming into the population with a lower connection to religion. the main effect is a very big decline among the order generations and the baby boomers are now much closer to younger generations and how important bc religion to themselves than they were in the past. i themselves than they were in the ast. ., , themselves than they were in the ast. . , ., themselves than they were in the ast. ., . , .,, past. i was intrigued that people are less inclined _ past. i was intrigued that people are less inclined to _ past. i was intrigued that people are less inclined to believe - past. i was intrigued that people are less inclined to believe in - past. i was intrigued that people l are less inclined to believe in god but still believing in life after death, that is almost a contradiction, isn't it? it’s death, that is almost a contradiction, isn't it? it's an important — contradiction, isn't it? it's an important signal _ contradiction, isn't it? it's an important signal to _ contradiction, isn't it? it's an important signal to religious | important signal to religious organisations that this is a change in our connection organised religion and all relevant people see it. but

underlying that, there is a real need to see something beyond this life, what is immediately in front an absence of spirituality is incredibly strong and consistent and even slightly higher uptick in recent generations of younger people. this is not the rejection of the idea that there's more to this let than we see immediately in front of it it's more about the traditional structures of religion which gives us an opportunity to connect with people on a deeper level. ., ., . ,, , ., ., , level. you track this data, this particular _ level. you track this data, this particular set _ level. you track this data, this particular set of _ level. you track this data, this particular set of results? - level. you track this data, this particular set of results? the | particular set of results? the beauty of _ particular set of results? the beauty of these _ particular set of results? tie: beauty of these studies particular set of results? tte: beauty of these studies that particular set of results? "tte: beauty of these studies that allows you to look back remember how much we have changed and as you say, but this an international context where we are much more secular than many other countries and important to bear that in mind and a religious

attachment. and now on the scene in some countries and actually very strongly increasing religious attachment and other countries around the world, particularly countries that are growing in population and so, religion is actually a growth market, not a declining market globally but very different in countries like the uk. in terms of globally, you look at other countries and how did the statistics about what happened here in this country compare to a country like china? ., ., in this country compare to a country like china? . . g ., ., like china? china and japan and south korea — like china? china and japan and south korea are _ like china? china and japan and south korea are some - like china? china and japan and south korea are some of - like china? china and japan and south korea are some of the i south korea are some of the countries that the lower level of attachment to religion and these themes over very different cultural backgrounds and religion. we tend to come and more around other western european countries in very different from countries like the us and again, this global perspective is interesting and we think we are

similar in many ways, many cultural ways but on things like how religious we are, they're much religious we are, they're much religious and our baby boomer generation, very different from them. we have much less attachment to religion and traditional aspects of religion than they do. fascinating the subject and i'm glad to come on to talk to us on bbc news, thank you so much for your time. the disturbing events because west ham, they were celebrating after qualifying for the final of the conference league and the beat them by 3—1 and the victory was marred by those ugly scenes at the end of the match, these are some of the pictures and some of the dutch supporters attacked an area in which the west ham players friends and family were actually watching that

match. let's talk to the supporter with the sun and witnessed the scenes. ~ , ., ,., ., scenes. we were “ust about three or four rows behind i scenes. we were just about three or four rows behind the _ scenes. we were just about three or four rows behind the west _ scenes. we were just about three or four rows behind the west ham i scenes. we were just about three or. four rows behind the west ham dugout and it was a brilliant view, we enjoyed the game and we were in a block about 200 west ham fans was supposed to be a neutral area but it was friends of players, families of players, that sort of thing and so, neutral to that extent. but we are all west altogether and we were obviously west ham and quite noisy and singing throughout but it was all good—natured and lots of fans around us but theyjust accepted that's who we were and that's what was happening. we could see the blood of the hard—core fans behind their goal throughout the whole game, being very noisy and vibrant

and after the game and of course seconds after the week typing back we score the winning goal, i would estimate around 13 of them in balaclava somehow breached their area of them and balaclava somehow breached their area ever running towards us. and there seem to be, the restored there but there was no police to stop them and so, it was unsettling at best and as you've seenin unsettling at best and as you've seen in the video and social media, some very brave west end fans become about ten rows for right were doing their best to stop them and doing their best to stop them and doing their best to stop them and doing their best and instead of celebrating over with the main 0a support behind our goal, they were panicked and saw their families being threatened. so, they ran, very understandably to get involved. lets

responsible and there will be a lot of questions for the authorities. firstly, i know so many of our supporters are able to get into that section and west and was able to get those players sitting and also west end fans talking but the slow reaction of the police and sing for a period of time, security staff were keeping the fans at bay and the police took some time to arrive and certainly a lot of the authorities to answer for the uncountable teams. questions about the policing within the stadium and potential sanctions and also it's of investigations being completed. you and also it's of investigations being completed.— and also it's of investigations being completed. and also it's of investigations bein: comleted. ., ~' , being completed. you think they will announce some _ being completed. you think they will announce some investigations i being completed. you think they will announce some investigations and l announce some investigations and those scenes and potential sanctions where you can look at finds, stadium enclosures for future matches and i think it will also raise preps of your concerns about the situation
