brought legal action, claiming the current arrangements are "not fit for purpose". justice chamberlain said the practice of accommodating children in hotels, outside local authority care, had become an established part of the procedure for dealing with unaccompanied asylum—seeking children which is unlawful. he told the court in london. "it cannot be used systematically or routinely in circumstances "where it is intended, orfunctions in practice, "as a substitute for local authority care." when andy malkinson was arrested in grimsby in 2003 and charged with rape he firmly and persistently told detectives they had the wrong man. there was no forensic evidence to prove his guilt. he did not look like the e—fit picture constructed with the help of the victim. he did not fit the description she gave in vital obvious ways. he offered to take part in an identity line up. the victim picked him out.

and in court some witnesses — who had criminal records not disclosed at the time — suggested they had seen him close to the crime scene. he was sentenced to life — he served 17 years, only getting out on licence in 2020. and now — following huge work from his legal team — andy malkinson's conviction for rape has been quashed. he's been speaking tojustin webb — on bbc radio 4's today programme obviously, there's been a hell of a lot to process. obviously, there's a lot to process. obviously, there's a lot of joy and lot to process. obviously, there's a lot ofjoy and the result. it's the result i've waited for for 20 years and... yeah. it's... result i've waited for for 20 years and... yeah. it's. . .— result i've waited for for 20 years and... yeah. it's. .. and... yeah. it's... what's the mix of 'o and... yeah. it's... what's the mix ofjoy and — and... yeah. it's... what's the mix ofjoy and anger? _ and... yeah. it's... what's the mix of joy and anger? what _ and... yeah. it's... what's the mix of joy and anger? what is - and... yeah. it's... what's the mix of joy and anger? what is the - and... yeah. it's... what's the mix of joy and anger? what is the mix| and... yeah. it's. .. what's the mix l of joy and anger? what is the mix of 'o and of joy and anger? what is the mix of joy and anger? _ of joy and anger? what is the mix of joy and anger? joy _ of joy and anger? what is the mix of joy and anger? joy at _ of joy and anger? what is the mix of joy and anger? joy at finally - joy and anger? joy at finally telling the world the truth and all the obfuscation has been stripped away now but anger at the fact that i was even tried for this, arrested.

around, there is a humid field today and we have rain but some will see brighter skies as we head through the afternoon. we have a clutch of weather fronts which have brought heavy rain through the course of yesterday and also overnight and this morning moving from the west to east. it's still lingering across parts of scotland, slowly moving northwards, and it's pushing southwards and remaining across the channel islands. now, in between, a lot of cloud but some breaks developing — for example in the midlands and lincolnshire and northern ireland but as the sun comes out that could produce sharp showers. temperatures 14—24. quite breezy, too, along the south coast. now, for the cricket today, we could see interruptions due to some showery outbreaks of rain in the afternoon, but you can see how unsettled it remains, not just at the oval, but for many of us as we go through the next few days. into this evening and overnight we hang on to a fair bit of high cloud, still a bit of showers and the rain going across scotland and some clear skies and it's going to feel humid following on from a humid day. temperatures falling away between 10 and about 15 or 16 degrees.

so, during the course of friday, low pressure very close to us. you can see the squeeze on the isobars and all the weather fronts wrapped around it. this one across the north east of scotland will push north eastwards. the other one coming in from the atlantic doesn't quite reach many of us through the course of the day and it will throw more cloud and showers into northern ireland. and tomorrow will be a drier day. there'll still be some showers around but they won't be as frequent as today in the cloud will tend to break up more readily. temperatures 15 in the north to 23 as we ps north to 23 as we go south. into saturday and we still have this area of low pressure plonked across us. look at the squeeze on the isobars on saturday and sunday as it moves from the west and towards the east. that will bring more unsettled conditions and we will see spells of rain or showery rain across parts of the it's going to be windy as well. there will be fewer showers

as we push further south but feeling cooler.
