including age and features, including age and maturity, the appropriate sentence and a minimum term as i indicated would be one of nine years custody, allowing for your plea a minimum term of six years. as there is now no early release for terrorist offenders that minimum term is the same as what was used to be called the determinant term. the day is on remand which i'm told number 367 days will count towards that sentence and so the sentence of this court is one of custody for life with a minimum of six years, less than days. what that means is this, that before you will be first considered for parole there will be a period of six years less 367 days. if the information which i've been provided as the days on remand prove to be inaccurate, then the prosecution or defence must notify the court so that the case can be relisted correctly and we calculate it as soon as possible, and in any event within 56 days. when it comes

to the minimum term people serve, i make plain that i'm not ordering that you want to be released at the end of it. whether you will be released or not at that stage, or at any later stage will be a matter for the parole board to consider, only when the minimum term has been served can the parole board decide whether it is safe to release you are not. if the board does release you you remain on licence and liable to recall for the rest of your life. if the statutory surcharge applies to your case then the appropriate orders can be drawn up. i order the forfeiture under section 23 of the terrorism act 2000 of four items, r j b one, a mobile phone, rjb two, a laptop, rjb 23, tactical combat gloves and rjb 20, tactical combat goggles. you will be subject to notification requirements as set out in the counter terrorism act 2008. you may go down.

what you have been watching is the sentencing of matthew king, those were the sentencing remarks of the judge, sentencing matthew king planning terror attacks on british police and soldiers at the old bailey where the sentencing was happening and thejudge bailey where the sentencing was happening and the judge said the sentence would be life in custody with a minimum of six years minus the time that he has already served in custody. it is around 367 days. the judge was careful to clarify and point out that did not necessarily mean there was an indication of any early release what that means is it will have to be a minimum of six years minus the time he has served before he has any chance of release. life in custody with a minimum of

six years. as a reminder to the background, thejudge six years. as a reminder to the background, the judge summarised a catalogue of evidence against matthew king that was heard in court so we heard cases of the evidence against him, both in terms of comments he made that were captured on video, his internet search history, voice messages that were sent and what we will do now is give you a bit of background. here is our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford looking back on the case. we actually have daniel sandford live so let's speak to him. the judge summarised a lot of the evidence heard in court against matthew king. the evidence heard in court against matthew king-— matthew king. the key to the sentence was _ matthew king. the key to the sentence was the _ matthew king. the key to the sentence was the issue - matthew king. the key to the sentence was the issue of - matthew king. the key to the - sentence was the issue of whether matthew king was going to go on posing a risk to the public. clearly

the offence he committed was to be preparing to attack police officers or soldiers and the police believed if they hadn't intervened when they did then he would have carried out that attack and detectives believe that attack and detectives believe that attack and detectives believe that attack could have been reasonably imminent. the issue the judge was looking at was, what does that mean in terms of sentencing? he could have sentenced him to eight or nine years in prison may be an extended sentence added on top of that but because of this duplicitous nature the judge was talking about, the fact matthew king seem to be saying one thing to some people at another thing to others, the fact he said in prison when he was angry about his cell not being opened in time for prayer is that he was going to behead the imam, thejudge decided he poses an ongoing risk of being dangerous and it is up to the

parole board. thejudge has passed quite a surprising sentence, a discretionary life sentence, so essentially matthew king will be somebody who forevermore was their life to the state. the minimum amount of time he will spend in prison could be six years but he won't be released after six years, it will be for the parole board to decide whether or not he is safe to be released at that point on the judge stressed that again at the end of his sentencing remarks as viewers will have seen, he was saying, i'm not saying you should be released after six years, i'm saying that's the earliest point at which the parole board can consider it. matthew king's defence will argue against this life sentenced, bank to get a fixed term, but the experience judge is the one who as coroner sat

in on the london bridge attack inquest, on the fishmongers' hall attack inquest, in which he sat through extensive evidence about how people remained radical in prison and about how the fishmongers' hall attacker then came out of prison and find it again and killed two people. that's why he has passed this discretionary life sentence with a minimum term of six years. fine discretionary life sentence with a minimum term of six years. one of the interesting _ minimum term of six years. one of the interesting aspects _ minimum term of six years. one of the interesting aspects of - minimum term of six years. one of the interesting aspects of this - minimum term of six years. one of the interesting aspects of this case | the interesting aspects of this case is how his mother, matthew king's mother, alerted the authorities after she became worried about his behaviour and she was praised by the judge. behaviour and she was praised by the “udue. , a behaviour and she was praised by the 'ud.e. , ~ ., �* , behaviour and she was praised by the “udue. , h ., judge. yes, matthew king's mother and other people _ judge. yes, matthew king's mother and other people were _ judge. yes, matthew king's mother and other people were so _ judge. yes, matthew king's mother and other people were so alarmed. judge. yes, matthew king's mother i and other people were so alarmed by matthew king's behaviour that she alerted the authorities through the prevent scheme and others who are in whatsapp groups with him alerted authorities because he was expressing very clear desire to kill

people. he changed his whatsapp status to kill non—muslims whenever you are —— wherever you are, and the judge praised his mother three weeks ago, saying she did the right thing, and he praised her again twice today, once during discussions over sentencing and then just before he passed his sentencing remarks. this is because detectives and the judiciary feel it is very, very important in terms of preventing these low sophistication attacks, for members of the public to step forward and say they are worried about someone, and not to sit on their hands. alert the police, that way the detectives believe in this case life can be saved.— way the detectives believe in this case life can be saved. some of the thins case life can be saved. some of the thin . s we case life can be saved. some of the things we heard _ case life can be saved. some of the things we heard the judge - case life can be saved. some of the things we heard the judge saying i case life can be saved. some of the things we heard the judge saying in j things we heard the judge saying in his sentencing were very disturbing

elements of on court. some of the things matthew king had said. he referred to the beheading comment. that's why the sentencing was delayed until today, isn't it? isphere delayed untiltoday, isn't it? were there a number— delayed untiltoday, isn't it? were there a number of— delayed untiltoday, isn't it? were there a number of things - delayed until today, isn't it? -- there a number of things going on before he was arrested, his behaviour at home in whatsapp groups —— his behaviour at home is worrying his mother and his messages in whatsapp groups where worrying other people. after doing surveillance of police officers at train stations, police officers at train stations, police stations, courts and the surveillance of an army barracks in east london, it also became clear after his arrest he had been in communication without teenage girls waiting do her a—levels. at one point, they discussed how he wants to kill a british or american marine

and then describes how he would like to get two marines raped each other then mutilate them and behead them. the teenage girl encourages this, saying she hopes it is a painful death, but she hasn't been charged with any offence. that was obviously an important part of the build—up as to why he was charged with preparing terrorist acts. while he is in prison awaiting decision before he pleaded guilty and even after he had pleaded guilty and even after he had pleaded guilty, there is a big intelligence file from the prison which thejudge had before him in which thejudge had before him in which he is making threats to members of staff, talking about tackling their families, members of staff, talking about tackling theirfamilies, about tackling their families, about cutting tackling theirfamilies, about cutting them up, then this critical moment which led to the delay in sentencing three weeks ago. he said having not been unlocked in time for prayers, he was going to behead the imam. his defence team were trying to say it is bravado and said in the

heat of the moment in prison but the judge took the remark seriously and that's why we had a three week delay while the defence went through all of the present intelligence and tried to make a case as to why that remark should be taken in context and understood that perhaps that was and understood that perhaps that was a show of bravado but in the end, thejudge has decided a show of bravado but in the end, the judge has decided that there is a duplicitous nature about matthew king talking aggressively and violent at times but then at other times saying he is going to do courses and telling his mum he is a reformed character. thejudge eventually said, i cannot rely on the fact this was bravado, i'm going to have to take that on the other things you said in prison into account which is why he's gone down this route of notjust deciding there is an element of dangerousness about matthew king but that he has

to have a discretionary life sentence with a minimum term of six years and the parole board will decide when he is released. share years and the parole board will decide when he is released. are home affairs correspondent _ decide when he is released. are home affairs correspondent daniel— decide when he is released. are home affairs correspondent daniel sanford l affairs correspondent daniel sanford outside the old bailey live with the latest on the judge summarising, the sentencing. for more detail on this, you can go to the bbc live page which has all the details from the case and the sentencing today but what i'm going to do now is bring you daniel sanford's piece that looks back and gives you an overview on the case now. stalking and secretly filming police officers, this was some of the surveillance carried out by matthew king as he prepared his attack on the weeks before his arrest. the locations he scouted included officers on duty outside stratford magistrates�* court. he posted this clip to snapchat with the caption "target acquired". counterterrorism detectives later recovered cctv showing that it was him who recorded

the footage. matthew king left school at 16 with no qualifications. he radicalised himself online during the covid pandemic. before his arrest —— the day before his arrest, cctv saw him outside barracks. this seemed to be part of his surveillance as he decided on a target. by now the police had been tipped off about his alarming behaviour, his posts about carrying out an attack and his whatsapp status which said "kill non—muslims wherever you see them". this status which said �*kill non-muslims wherever you see them".— status which said "kill non-muslims wherever you see them". this was a serious threat _ wherever you see them". this was a serious threat to _ wherever you see them". this was a serious threat to the _ wherever you see them". this was a serious threat to the public - wherever you see them". this was a serious threat to the public and - serious threat to the public and colleagues and the army and for me it was an imminent terrorist attack that we had to disrupt.— it was an imminent terrorist attack that we had to disrupt. matthew king was friends with _ that we had to disrupt. matthew king was friends with a _ that we had to disrupt. matthew king was friends with a girl _ that we had to disrupt. matthew king was friends with a girl doing - that we had to disrupt. matthew king was friends with a girl doing her - was friends with a girl doing her a—levels. in a graphic snapchat audio message she described how he wanted to mutilate and behead two marines.

she has never been charged. matthew king�*s mother had been so worried about his behaviour that she had referred him to the anti—extremism programme prevent. during the sentencing hearing thejudge praised matthew king�*s mother saying she did exactly the right thing. detectives have said that she and other members of the public were crucial to this case and had potentially saved lives. by the time he was arrested, matthew king had bought military goggles, a combatjacket and gloves. he had talked about going to syria to join islamic state group but the police intervened because they believed he was about to attack here in britain. daniel sandford, bbc news, at the old bailey. some of those images in daniel sanford�*s report are ones we have only been able to show you since sentencing has finished. there are more images like that on bbc live

manchester city are on the verge of an historic treble and their star striker, erling haaland, has been talking to the bbc about what that would mean to him. he has scored a record 36 goals this season in the premier league — an astonishing 52 goals in all competitions. he�*ll be hoping to add even more goals to that total tomorrow in the fa cup final. erling haaland has been talking to our sports editor, dan roan. never, ever misses! this man is a sensation. another haaland hattrick! he�*s the norwegian super—scorer who�*s taken the premier league by storm. in a remarkable debut season in england, manchester city�*s erling haaland has established himself as world football�*s most—feared striker. and here at the club�*s training ground, he told me how he was handling sporting superstardom, aged just 22.

it�*s nice. that means i�*ve done something right. mm. my life has changed, of course. i can�*t live normal, so normal any more. that�*s something ijust have to admit, and that�*s how my life is. i can�*t complain. i like to do a bit crazy kind of stuff, both on and off the pitch. like the silk pyjamas, which seem to be becoming something of a trademark of yours. yeah, i like to be comfortable wherever i go. i�*m 196 tall and i�*ve got long, blonde hair, so wherever i go, people are going to see me. when i was young, i wanted to become a professional footballer and the best in the world. there�*s certain things you have to do different, you have to live different, you have to do this and that. that�*s just how it is. the dream, you say, was to be the best in the world. have you achieved that dream? do you believe you are the best

goal—scorer in the world right now? er, a good question. i don�*t want to answer that. i think someone else should answer that. but i scored most goals this season, i think, so that�*s a good start. in an astonishing campaign, the prolific haaland has scored 52 goals for his club, including 36 in the premier league — a new record. and haaland does what haaland does. for me, it�*s about keeping the confidence, and i try to never overthink. i�*m a simple guy. when i do something and i like it, i want to do it more. do you think you can improve? yeah. from my right foot to my left foot, from the heading, everything. having helped city retain the premier league title, haaland�*s now preparing for the fa cup final against archrivals manchester united, and then the champions league final. at stake, a first treble since united managed it 2a years ago. because of the history, they will be motivated. it�*s at wembley, it�*s a final, there�*s so many things, so it will not be an easy game. so that�*s what i�*m saying, we have to play our game. better not to think too much. champions league, i must ask you, is there something about that

competition here in manchester, because it�*s the one that they�*ve so far struggled to achieve? and what would it mean, do you think, to land it? yeah, it will mean everything. this is why. .. this is why they brought me, of course, to the club, to get this. we don�*t have to... to hide that. so i will do everything i can, i possibly can, to try to make it happen. and, yeah, it�*s my biggest dream. and hopefully, dreams do come true. erling haaland talking to dan roan. a teenagerfrom essex has been sentenced to life with a minium sentenced to life with a minimum of six years in prison for plotting a terror attack on police officers or soldiers. 19—year—old matthew king converted to an extremist islamist ideology during the pandemic, and in online conversations, he had discussed beheading two marines. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford is at the old bailey.

daniel. yes, matthew king had had a troubled time at school and ended up being expelled. he effectively radicalised himself online during the pandemic. and by the beginning of last year, he was starting to think about either travelling to syria or carrying out an attack on a police officer or a soldier. we saw evidence that he had been essentially stalking police officers, filming them on his mobile phone. he at one point but a caption on snapchat over a shot of some police officers saying, target acquired. at that point, others around him were getting worried, they started reporting him to the police, even his own mother had reported him to prevent. hisjudge has praised his mother doing that. got to the eventually in may last year where police were so worried that they intervened, they arrested him and then uncovered a further world of radicalisation on his phone. and today, thejudge decided that he needed to sentence him to life in prison, but with a minimum term of six years. what effectively that means is he will spend a

minimum of six years in prison and the parole board will decide when he is safe to be released. daniel, thank you. daniel sandford, our home affairs correspondent. dame elan closs stephens has been appointed by the government as the acting chair of the bbc. dame elan, who�*s been a member of the bbc�*s governing body since 2010, will hold the post for a year, or until a new permanent chair is appointed. the announcement comes after richard sharp resigned from the position earlier this year, following a report which found he breached the governance code for public appointments. an italian man has been arrested after the referee for the europa league final was abused by angry fans in budapest airport. earlier, anthony taylor had also been confronted by the roma manager jose mourinho in a car park, after his team was beaten by sevilla on penalties on wednesday. 0ur sports correspondent andy swiss reports.

confronted and abused. in the grey t—shirt, referee anthony taylor, along with his family, evading a crowd of angry supporters, as they left budapest airport. scuffles breaking out and missiles thrown, as they eventually escaped to safety. just a few hours earlier, taylor had shown a record 1a yellow cards — including one to roma boss jose mourinho — during a bad—tempered europa league final. and in the car park afterwards, mourinho confronted him. bleep! he swore at taylor, who was off—camera, and called him "a disgrace", following his side�*s defeat. taylor�*s treatment by mourinho, and his subsequent abuse at the airport, has been widely condemned. the referee�*s body pgmol said it was "appalled" at what it called "the unjustified and abhorrent abuse

directed at anthony and his family". anthony is very disappointed about how it all ended but, more importantly, he�*s 0k. every country in europe has got problems with respect towards match officials, and i�*m mightily disappointed with uefa not looking after one of our mates properly. taylor is one of england�*s most experienced officials and, this morning, a premier league manager came to his defence. all referees have a really difficultjob and, you know, shouldn't be put through any situations which i heard this morning. and, er, you know, that's not correct. and at a time when the abuse of officials at grassroots level is under the spotlight, so now is the treatment of one of the game�*s top referees. andy swiss, bbc news. scientists say they are excited by the results of a blood test trial which can detect 50 different types of cancers. a study found the blood test managed to correctly identify two thirds of cancers among 5,000 people who went to their gp with suspected symptoms.

0ur medical editor fergus walsh has more details. a blood test which could detect cancer and rule it out, with very high accuracy, would be revolutionary. this test has been developed by californian company grail. it can detect tiny fragments of cancerous dna in the bloodstream, which have broken off from a tumour. the trial involved more than 5,000 patients from england and wales who�*d gone to their gp with suspected cancer symptoms. a positive blood test result meant the patient was likely to have cancer. tumours were confirmed 75% of the time. a negative test meant cancer was very unlikely, but did not rule it out completely. where cancer was correctly found, the test was able to pinpoint its origin in the body in 85% of cases.

the oxford professor who led the trial, and is presenting the results at a conference in chicago, says the blood test is still a work in progress, but its ability to pinpoint the type of cancer is exciting. 85% of the time — when we found a cancer — it told us where that cancer was. so in future, we could use the test accurately to get the right and basic investigations done first time, through that diagnosis. you only know if you're in the test group if the test detectsl potential signs of cancer. 0ften, cancer patients present with only vague symptoms, like unexpected weight loss or abdominal pain, so the blood test could help spare them unnecessary investigations. a major trial of the grail test is under way across the nhs. 140,000 healthy volunteers are having annual blood tests

to see whether it can detect potential signs of cancer. the first results are due next year. fergus walsh, bbc news. now, then, you may remember this balloon featuring an orange and red globe, which featured on bbc one for five years, from 1997—2002. well, it famously flew above many landmarks across the uk, before then being put into storage. well, now the balloon is to take to the skies once again, after it was restored by brothers liam and daniel whitelock, who even went so far as to handpaint art work which had faded over time. it will fly again this weekend, at the midlands air festival. one of scotland�*s most important historical documents goes on display in edinburgh tomorrow, for the first time in almost two decades. the 700—year—old declaration of arbroath was an appeal to the pope, asking him to recognise

robert the bruce as the lawful king of scotland and asserting the country�*s independence. 0ur scotland correspondent lorna gordon has had access to some of the preparations for it going on public view. the historic 700—year—old declaration of arbroath — a fragile parchment, written during a turbulent and violent period in scotland�*s story — about to go on rare public display. i�*m immensely excited to be welcoming this document here. it�*s a really rare and special survival, and it gives us an insight into medieval international diplomacy, but also about a pivotal point in scotland�*s king robert i — also known as robert the bruce — perhaps its most famous king. this one here, it's got a final repair along the top... - in the temperature and humidity—controlled room, conservators closely checked the document, recording any historical damage, ahead of the complex process of moving it to its display.

just around there, it says, "while a hundred of us remain alive," and then, "never will be subject to the king of england." the passing of time has left its mark, but the 14th—century letter, written in latin, asking the pope to recognise robert the bruce as scotland�*s king, is still clear to see. it's an extraordinary text. it's not a long text — it's maybe around about a thousand words — but it encapsulates an awful lot about what the scots thought about themselves, as a nation, in 1320 and their right to be an independent kingdom, not subject to the english king. you can see the damage to the tag. we�*ve lost the bottom of the tag. only 19 of the seats of scotland�*s most powerful nobles who backed the letter remain in place. the job for those entrusted with caring and preserving the declaration for future generations is to slow down any further degradation. well, it�*s not the only 14th—century document that we hold, but it�*s certainly the most famous,

i would say. and a public record is something that you can�*tjust keep
