(pres)

before we move on, i want to take you back to the scene in derby at the crown court because we just had that verdict a little earlier and the police approaching the microphones and statements after the end of that trial. i will put the microphones up and let's hear the reaction to what we heard in court. i am a detective inspector with major crime and i'm about to make a statement in regard to the merger of jacob crouch. jacob crouch is born into a culture of cruelty where both of the people he should have been able to trust above any other allowed him to be subjected to assault after assault. heartbreakingly during his short life he would have been insignificant pain. it is clearfrom the evidence found on gemma barton and craig crouch�*s phones, through text messages, videos and audio recordings they were equally

responsible for the culture of cruelty inflicted on baby jacob. responsible for the culture of cruelty inflicted on babyjacob. as a father i cannot comprehend what happened behind closed doors and my thoughts remain with jacob's wider family who have been left devastated by his death. i hope the verdict today brings a degree of closure for them and begins the process of them being able to grieve forjacob and remember their happy times with a much loved child. thank you. i don't think i am prepared to comment on how they feel about it. it is obvious, really.— how they feel about it. it is obvious, reall. . , , ., ., , obvious, really. have they shown any remorse at — obvious, really. have they shown any remorse at all _ obvious, really. have they shown any remorse at all from _ obvious, really. have they shown any remorse at all from what _ obvious, really. have they shown any remorse at all from what has - remorse at all from what has happened? its remorse at all from what has happened?— remorse at all from what has hauened? a , , ., happened? as could be seen from when the verdicts were _ happened? as could be seen from when the verdicts were read _ happened? as could be seen from when the verdicts were read out, _ happened? as could be seen from when the verdicts were read out, there - the verdicts were read out, there was very little emotion from either party. there has not been any remorse because neither have really admitted any guilt. it remorse because neither have really admitted any guilt.— admitted any guilt. it has been a dramatic case _ admitted any guilt. it has been a dramatic case for _ admitted any guilt. it has been a dramatic case for the _ admitted any guilt. it has been a dramatic case for the jury - admitted any guilt. it has been a dramatic case for the jury to -

studio: the briefest of gemma barton. ok, thank you. studio: the briefest of statements from the detective investigator, and you can get a sense ofjust the shock, at the conclusion of that case, talking about the heartbreak as the details of assault after assault on babyjacob crouch. he said they were equally responsible for the culture of cruelty and ended the initial statement saying their thoughts were with the wider family and the devastation in terms of what they actually heard through the court, and said craig crouch, the stepfather, and gemma barton had no remorse at all in the courthouse. our correspondence has been there, across this case in its entirety. let's go back to him because this case just concluding with the guilty verdict of the stepfather craig crouch and also the verdict against

the mother gemma burton. —— barton. the briefest of statements from the police but you can hear in every element of what he said, the shock of the details that have been heard over the last few days. it was plain in the tone of his voice, he has worked with derbyshire police for a long time and has no doubt doubtless some horrible cases but there was a real emotion in what he said, even though it wasn't a great deal to add to what we have already heard today. i have seen other officers wiping away a tear and family members in court in tears today. it is, i am afraid, another case where adults who are in a position of care, who have a duty to look after a young child, has let the child down to the point where they have inflicted severe cruelty, some absolutely appalling things to the point that that child has died and then they try to cover it up and pretended they knew nothing about what had happened, try to lie when

they were questioned about all of those injuries that we know jacob suffered. 39 rib fractures, 19 visible bruises, the perforated bowel that led to the fatal infection. and neither of them are willing to say what happened. they managed to maintain this facade of being a happy family, possibly able to do that because this was all happening in 2020, during the height of the pandemic when there were various lockdown and less contact between people. until they made that 909, five days after christmas in 2020, saying they had discovered a lifeless body. it was a week later they were arrested on suspicion of murder. craig crouch was convicted today, gemma barton was cleared of murder and manslaughter but convicted of causing or allowing the death of a child. both will be back on friday for a sentencing hearing, but it may be picking cannot be sentenced on friday and it may have

to be adjourned to a later date. what about child protection services? interesting, often we hear in these cases there had been a lot of contact. in this case it appears there wasn't. nonetheless there is a safeguarding review, that as i was triggered when there has been a death of a young child in a situation like this. they carried out a review, there is a new policy which has been brought in as a result of not just which has been brought in as a result of notjust this case but others around the country, to make people more aware of signs to look out for. we haven't seen the full safeguarding review, it will be interesting to read what was found on whether or not there had been any opportunities that were missed. it does appear in this case they were able to put on an impression of being a happy, doting parents, whereas in reality behind closed doors, during those lockdowns, they

were carrying out horrendous physical abuse. thank you very much for that. the authorities in the canadian province of british columbia are struggling to control a huge wildfire close to the border with the united states. some residents who were evacuated have been allowed back to their homes. they said their gardens and swimming pools had been filled with ash. it's canada's worst wildfire season on record, with fires continuing to spread across parts of the pacific northwest. let's talk now to professor michael flannigan from thompson rivers university in british columbia. he specialises in fire and weather climate interactions. thank you for being here on the programme, start by describing a little more aboutjust how fierce and intense these wildfires are. it and intense these wildfires are. it is an exceptional year, an extreme year, and extremely, uncharted territory. we burned an area the size of england already, which is

almost double the previous record which was 1989, we have seen virus from sea to sea to sea, high intensity fires, smoke being produced, travelling all the way to europe. and of course the eastern seaboard in the united states, even if the fire is not at your doorstep it has been impacting millions _ it has been impacting millions and if the fire is not at your doorstep it has been impacting millions and millions of people. in it has been impacting millions and millions of people.— millions of people. in terms of why it is so bad — millions of people. in terms of why it is so bad this _ millions of people. in terms of why it is so bad this year? _ millions of people. in terms of why it is so bad this year? this - millions of people. in terms of why it is so bad this year? this is - it is so bad this year? this is consistent — it is so bad this year? this is consistent with _ it is so bad this year? this is consistent with human - it is so bad this year? this is. consistent with human caused it is so bad this year? this is - consistent with human caused climate change. in canada we have seen a doubling of area burned since the 70s, in the western united states it is more dramatic, a four times increase. it is because a warmer world means more fire, simply put the warmer we are, the longer our fire seasons are, the more lighting we see an lightning is a really important aspect of the fire situation in canada. half of our fires started by lightning, but they are responsible for about 90% of the area burned. and if third reason, the atmosphere as it warms, gets

more efficient in sucking the moisture out of those fields, the dead fuels, vegetation on the forest floor, grass, needles, leaves. that means it is easierfor a floor, grass, needles, leaves. that means it is easier for a fire to start and spread, and means more fuels of vegetation is available to burn, leading to higher intensity fires that are difficult to extinguish. we are driven by extreme fire weather, 3% of the virus, 97% of the area burned. this happens on a relatively small number of days of extreme fire weather, hot, dry and windy. is extreme fire weather, hot, dry and wind . , , extreme fire weather, hot, dry and wind. , , ., ., windy. is it possible to make an assessment _ windy. is it possible to make an assessment in _ windy. is it possible to make an assessment in terms _ windy. is it possible to make an assessment in terms of - windy. is it possible to make an assessment in terms of air - windy. is it possible to make an - assessment in terms of air pollution and the impact of that? we're looking at pictures only some weeks back of some of the impacts of these wildfires in canada, stretching right through to parts of the us and impacting there. what assessments are being made there in canada? the more we are being made there in canada? tie: more we know are being made there in canada? tte: more we know about are being made there in canada?

as ukraine continues to make small gains on various fronts across the east and south of the country, its also battling a second, but no less aggressive frontline in the form of russian propaganda. while disinformation has been used as a tactic since the war started back in 2014 when moscow annexed crimea, its become increasingly targeted, honing in on female ukrainian soldiers on the front line, in particular. olga malchevska travelled to ukraine to investigate and sent this report. small steps on the road to recovery. my name is andriana. i'm a soldier, servicewoman. a female soldier and a special unit markswoman. adriana is one of the best known members of ukrainian armed forces. her unit drove over a landmine last december. russian media reported she had been killed, describing her death in graphic detail and calling her a "ukrainian nazi".

but we have tracked her down in ukraine, in a hospital. we can't disclose its location for her safety. she's alive and not surprised by the russian news. they published that i am without legs and without hands. and like, i was killed by them. they are professionals in propaganda. i am alive and i will protect my country. adriana, like many other ukrainians, joined the volunteer battalion when russia invaded ukraine back in 2014. she spent a year with the battalion, which, like many of the others, was subsequently subsumed into the official army. although not militarily trained she showed strong combat skills, including shooting. when you are on the front line and when you see a target, how do you feel about it? is it a target or a person?

it depends on the situation. sometimes it's a person because they are people. but if it will not be for me a target, i will be a target for them. it's a scenario shared by many in this hospital here. there are worries about the costs of rehabilitation. it can cost thousands of dollars a month for each soldier. but for adriana, the biggest concern is the impact on her family. she hasn't held her son for seven months. two days ago, i was talking with him and he said to me that, mum, remember when we were a family and when we loved each other? so after two years of absence of me, and that he tried to remember a period when we were a family

and we loved each other. and i tried to explain to him that we now are family and we love each other. but the period is such. a normalfamily life is some way off. adriana is now preparing to return to the front line. the price paid is already too high to give up. with me is olga malchevska. a really powerful report but in terms of numbers of female ukrainian soldiers, have you been able to find roughly what that number is? it is a ve aood roughly what that number is? it is a very good question. _ roughly what that number is? it is a very good question. they _ roughly what that number is? it is a very good question. they try - roughly what that number is? it is a very good question. they try not. roughly what that number is? it 3 a. very good question. they try not to give the exact numbers, but what we

have managed to get, with the female soldiers, currently there are 60,000 female soldiers in the ukrainian army but those people are in different positions, so in military positions they have over 40,000 people and right on the front line there are 5000 female soldiers. also we tried to get the number of how many of them are injured and killed, and that is where the numbers get even more sensitive and it was very difficult to get, but the numbers we managed to obtain suggested that at least 93 women were killed since the russian invasion. and at least half a thousand of them are injured. in terms of the people you talked to during that trip, what did they say about why they are doing what they are doing and the way it has simply transformed their lives? t are doing and the way it has simply transformed their lives?— transformed their lives? i tried to answer the _ transformed their lives? i tried to answer the question _ transformed their lives? i tried to answer the question for _ transformed their lives? i tried to answer the question for myself i transformed their lives? i tried to | answer the question for myself as well, as a mother and journalist and as a woman. it was interesting for me to understand and it is no very straightforward answers, so every person has a different story but

what struck me the most was all of them had a similar answer. they all said it is difficult to kill people, all of them felt guilty they have to do that but all of them are saying they want to either defend their home or children. most of them actually have children, so that who we saw in the package, she has a son who is seven years old. we do not show his picture because we do not want him to become a target. it was absolutely heartbreaking for her that she couldn't stay with her son. most of the women were telling the same stories and those who do not have children, they were saying they want to protect their homes or their future families, their future children because none of them want this fight to continue and the children or potential children to continue this fight. we were

speaking also to other women, there are two female snipers who managed to interview. one of them, we can see her on the pictures now, she has two daughters. can you imagine, two daughters and one is a baby. she said that she actually, went there to protect her daughter and she went there after she took her older daughter to safety as she doesn't want them to continue her fight. thanks very much for taking us through all of that. we will talk again and little later in the programme. the singer lizzo, her production company and her dance captain shirlene quigley are being sued by three former dancers. they have been accused of sexual and racial harassment, disability discrimination, false imprisonment and creating a hostile work environment. two of the dancers were sacked, the third resigned over what she described as the "appalling

behaviour" of her bosses. representatives for lizzo have been approached for comment. live now to colin paterson, our entertainment correspondent, let's talk 110w now to a culture reported. what more can you tell us? t now to a culture reported. what more can you tell us?— can you tell us? i have the complaint _ can you tell us? i have the complaint in _ can you tell us? i have the complaint in front - can you tell us? i have the complaint in front of- can you tell us? i have the complaint in front of me, | can you tell us? i have the | complaint in front of me, it can you tell us? i have the i complaint in front of me, it is can you tell us? i have the - complaint in front of me, it is 45 pages which was filed to los angeles yesterday. some of these allegations include one of the dancers arianna davis saying earlier this year lizzo organised a night out for dancers in a strip club in amsterdam in the netherlands and she felt pressurised into touching a naked performer in a strip club, as lizzo was a leading chance of her name until she did so. that same dancer also claims lizzo raised for meat veiled concerns about her having put on weight. —— raced thinly veiled concerns. we have attempted to contact lizzo on the production company, but as yet we haven't had any response. thanks

very much- — artificial intelligence is able to accurately detect 20% more breast cancers than traditional screening by radiologists, according to a new study. the interim results found that using al's analysis of mammograms was as good as using two radiologists without ai. let's talk about the results with the lead author of this study, dr kristina lang, who is an associate professor in radiology diagnostics at lund university in sweden. thank you so much for your time. this is a fascinating area and that is quite a headline, that 20% figure. tell me a little bit more about what you actually found here. yes, thank you. first of all, we will describe shortly what we do which are standard screening. in europe typically we have two radiologists that read all screening examinations and we need to do that

to have a high sensitivity. it is not very efficient to have two doctors meet every exam and that is where ai comes in. al can analyse a screening examination and triage them into two different groups. in our study we triage them into one high—risk group and a low risk group, and we only used two radiologists to read these high risk exams because they contain the majority of all cancers. then we applied only one radiologist to the low risk group. the tool could highlight suspicious finding in the image that could aid the radiologist to detect more cancers. this has been evaluated in a large randomised control trial with 80,000 women and the results are really good. we

detected 20% more cancers without increasing false positives and at the same time we can reduce the screen reading volume for us radiologists by a 50%. you screen reading volume for us radiologists by a 50%. you can see the obvious _ radiologists by a 50%. you can see the obvious advantages _ radiologists by a 50%. you can see the obvious advantages but - radiologists by a 50%. you can see the obvious advantages but reallyl the obvious advantages but really briefly, where you are able to identify in terms of how it was working, because you had ai and an operator. could you work out which was actually detecting the cancers? that is a very good question and thatis that is a very good question and that is also why you need prospective trials to try ai in real practice because we do not really know what will happen when the radiologist and humans interact with al, so it is a very difficult ai, so it is a very difficult question. at the trial was designed to emphasise the central role of the radiologist. we have the final decision on whether we should recall a woman not for further assessment. is it enough as we stand now,

the implications of it are obvious as well. thanks so much forjoining us. we are going to take a short break. we will have all the latest on our main news when you are back, the donald trump story and all the rest of the headlines. hello there. this is certainly not the weather we would expect to find across the uk at this time of the year. once again, all due to another area of low pressure bringing wind and rain. it has been named storm patricia by the french met service with the biggest impacts across the northern coast of france, partly due to the supermoon and also due to the strength of the wind. it will be windy through the english channel, the south coast of england, strong to gale—force winds, though they will be easing late into the afternoon. we are also seeing clusters of heavy and thundery downpours developing in england and wales and the more persistent rain is still affecting yorkshire and north lincolnshire,

keeping it particularly cool here. temperatures not much better in scotland and northern ireland but at least here it is somewhat drier. it should become a lot drier across england and wales as we head into the night. the strong and gusty winds tending to ease down and change direction. the heavier rain and thunderstorms moving away. clearer spells developing by the end of the night in places and temperatures probably not dipping away any lower than 11 degrees. storm patricia itself, that area of low pressure, will be heading into southern scandinavia on thursday, taking the wet and windy weather away. the wind changes for thursday and we get a cool, north—northwesterly wind, bringing showers. sunshine for a while but the cloud will increase and we will have some showers into northern scotland and showers could develop almost anywhere on thursday afternoon. some thunderstorms across the southeast of scotland, northeastern parts of england. with shelter, temperatures could reach 20 degrees in glasgow and it should be a little bit warmer in east anglia

and the south east, where we miss most of the showers. that will not be the case on friday. across eastern parts of england we will see most of the showers. not be as windy but there are threats of thunderstorms in the south east. western parts will be drier to end the week but temperatures still only 18 degrees in belfast and 19 in cardiff. so still cool air we have through the next few days, and that's because the jet stream, the strong ribbon of air up in the atmosphere, is running to the south of the uk. quite a strong jet stream and the position will change by the time we get to saturday, picking up another area of low pressure and bringing some wet and windy weather to england and wales, a bit like we're seeing today.
