4:35 pm
premier league football matches. the group ran a system called flawless tv that offered live feeds of all the games and undercut legal broadcasters. they made more than £7 million between 2016 and 2021, and had more than 50—thousand subscribers. let's get more with our home affairs correspondent tom symonds. tell us about how they were doing it? ., ., , it? the premier league have “ust civen us it? the premier league have “ust given us a — it? the premier league have “ust given us a statement * it? the premier league have “ust given us a statement about h it? the premier league havejust given us a statement about this i given us a statement about this case. it has been brought over the last two years. the premier league says that they believe that this is the world's largest ever prosecution of an illegal streaming gang. flawless tv allows you to sign up for around £10 a month, compared to something like £80 like all the various legitimate paid tvs abstractions for premier league match. as every football fan who watches tv will tell you, only about
4:36 pm
half of matches are actually shown in the uk and this gang brags to each other on chat forums that the blackouts, as it's called on saturdays when premier league matches are not shown, was good for their business. but they have been caught in quite a serious investigation and the police carrying out raids, a prosecution by the premier league which took them to court forfraud. the premier league which took them to court for fraud. this the premier league which took them to court forfraud. this has resulted in pretty long prison sentences, the ringleader in this gang was jailed for 11 years and several other members for five years, four years and three years so the premier league are making the point that they are willing to get pretty serious with these sorts of illegal streaming gangs. the? pretty serious with these sorts of illegal streaming gangs. they are likel to illegal streaming gangs. they are likely to be _ illegal streaming gangs. they are likely to be not _ illegal streaming gangs. they are likely to be not the _ illegal streaming gangs. they are likely to be not the only - illegal streaming gangs. they are likely to be not the only ones. . illegal streaming gangs. they are likely to be not the only ones. in| likely to be not the only ones. in terms of what i ride out there in
4:37 pm
the introduction, there were some 50,000 subscribers. was there any action taking against them? following this case, investigators raided a number of flats and they found boxes that were passing on streams from abroad to the subscribers but they also seized the documents relating to the subscribers themselves, often bank details but in some cases, names and addresses. that begs the question, where will they get prosecution? 0n where will they get prosecution? on an online stream from 2021, it is unlikely that they subscribers will face legal action themselves. the premier league say that this is a concrete example of the clear links
4:38 pm
between privacy and wider criminality. what they mean is that gangs that offer illegal streams are likely to put software on your computer that will league to viruses for example. and if you are giving them your bank details, it is likely that they will be passed fraudsters as well. so there are warnings to people who use these services. india's top female wrestlers have threatened to throw their medals into the river ganges, amid ongoing protests demanding the arrest of the country's wrestling federation chief. who's been accused of sexually harrassing wrestlers for years — allegations which he denies. earlier i spoke to our correpsondent in delhi, divya arya, who told me more about this. it's been really called the india's metoo moment, because these are very strong allegations and they've been made against a very strong person who wields a lot of clout. he's not only the chief
4:39 pm
of the wrestling federation of india, is also a six time member of parliament from the ruling party agenda party. the party has been criticised for not responding to the wrestler�*s demand and that demand mainly has been to arrest mr. singh and also ask him to step down. and they have been trying to keep up at the protest through various means and this latest effort, or threat, rather, to throw their medals into the river ganges is part of that and the latest there have been really dramatic pictures coming from haridwar, where they are right now. the latest is that they have decided to not throw their medals in the river for now, and they've given five days to the government to respond and rethink on their main demand. but before that, we saw them sitting there crying, clutching their medals and the whole build up to that itself. they put a twitter note where they talked about how let down
4:40 pm
they feel by the government, by the president, by the prime minister. and they felt that the government talks a lot about the empowerment of women, but really uses women and their accomplishments to get to power. and once they are in power, they're not really concerned about the issues that affect women. there's talk also of a potential hunger strike. how much attention is this story getting there in india and what is the official response been to the allegations that have swirled around forfor such a long time now? well, we saw thousands gather at haridwar today. twitter is also full of condemnation, both by sports personalities as well as opposition parties. the government, you can't really say that they haven't done anything. but what the wrestlers are saying is whatever has been done is not enough. so the government set up a committee to probe those allegations, but then did not make the report
4:41 pm
of the committee public saying that they're still perusing those allegations and it's been more than three weeks since the report was submitted. then when they said, we want to now file police complaints because the committee's report recommendations haven't been made public, the police did not register that fear in the beginning, and they had to go all the way to the supreme court to get that done. once that was done, there was no questioning of the main accused or statements taken by the wrestlers. so at every step of the process, they have had to go to higher courts. they've had to sit on protest, that took place for a whole month at a pavement in delhi called the jantar mantar and sued. and then it culminated into a protest in front of the new parliament, which they could not hold and were evicted from that place of protest on sunday. and now today, the return of the medals. but it seems that this demand will continue and the government
4:42 pm
will probably have to give a stronger response going forward. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. when australia was out of reach due to pandemic travel restrictions in 2020 and 2021, producers of the itv reality show set up camp at 19th century gwrych castle. although the sets have been cleared away with the show�*s return down under its popularity as a venue for tourists and events like weddings has grown. it currently has a licence until 10:00 pm. the trust, which wants to restore and conserve the castle, applied for a licence to stay open until1 am at weekends, serve alcohol and refreshments and host live music. some local people oppose the application, citing safety and noise concerns which the council considered at a meeting. but those who support the proposal say other local businesses have similar licences and it will help create jobs in the area. we had a wedding that wasn't
