from a grassroots good morning from a grassroots football club here in london. we will bejoined by football club here in london. we will be joined by lots of young players this morning, many of whom will have been inspired by lots of that sounds despite the defeat. and katarina johnson—thompson wins gold at the world athletic championships in budapest. dismay for drivers as the wet summer sees a 20% increase in pothole related breakdowns. i'll look at why the weather makes it harder to avoid and to repair them. iam here i am here at raf lossiemouth, the uk's i am here at raf lossiemouth, the uk's busiest operational airbase. the jets of yield, fighter pilots ready to scramble at a moment's notice and we will be meeting them this morning. a day of warm sunshine ahead for england and scotland is cloudy, with

showers later on. all the details later on. it's monday 21st august. our main story. the serial killer, lucy letby, is to be sentenced today for murdering seven babies and attempting to murder another six at the countess of chester hospital. letby�*s crimes took place while she worked as a nurse on the neonatal unit between 2015 and 2016. she has indicated that she will not attend manchester crown court to hear her sentence. graham satchell reports. lucy, is it? yes. my name is...from the manchester police. 0k to step in for two seconds? yeah, thank you. the moment lucy letby was arrested. today, britain's most prolific baby killer will be told how long she'll spend in prison. but letby�*s lawyers have indicated she won't be present when sentence is passed. letby worked at the countess of chester hospital. she deliberately injected babies with air, force—fed others with milk and poisoned two infants with insulin. today, some of the parents who've been left devastated by letby�*s

crimes will make personal impact statements in court. many are furious that letby won't be there. speaking to the daily mail, one father said... letby�*s absence today is the latest in a series of high profile cases. all i want to know is what i'm arrested for. thomas cashman refused to attend court when he was sentenced for killing nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel. koci selamaj did the same when he was sentenced for the murder of schoolteacher sabina nessa. did you have any concerns that there was a rise in the mortality rate? yes. lucy letby is likely to spend the rest of her life in jail. the government has ordered an independent inquiry to look at how she was able to kill so many babies without being stopped earlier.

but letby�*s refusal to face the families whose lives she's destroyed has led to renewed calls to compel convicted criminals to attend court for sentencing hearings. graham satchell, bbc news. nick garnettjoins us now from outside manchester crown court. the families of the victims will get to make their personal statements, thejudge will speak but to make their personal statements, the judge will speak but apparently lucy letby will not be there to hear them. w , lucy letby will not be there to hear them. , ~ ., them. exactly. although the conviction — them. exactly. although the conviction happened - them. exactly. although the conviction happened on - them. exactly. although the i conviction happened on friday, them. exactly. although the - conviction happened on friday, there was no sentencing at the time because the number of families who want to give statements was so large that it would take some considerable time. these statements are known as impact statements, they are letters that the family right and are then read out to court or in some cases in other trials, the victims themselves or their relatives would

read out those statements. these will be read out to the court today. and throughout this trial, we have known of the babies you have been attacked and who are murdered by letters, to protect their anonymity. what will happen now is that we will hear more about them, the human side of who these children were, and how it has impacted and what has happened has impacted the families of their relatives. it's going to be a very emotional time throughout. and it will in some ways give some basis on which mrjustice goss will give his sentencing. as to what that sentence will be is a life sentence, it's only whether it will be a determined number of years or a whole life tariff and she will never come out of prison and we will hear that later on. come out of prison and we will hear that later om— come out of prison and we will hear that later on. thank you very much. there will be _

and get bigger and better and i'm so hopeful and looking forward to the euros and switzerland and the nations league coming up, and we're going to be heading up to that so we are immensely proud. it had started with so much hope. a steely captain millie bright leading them out to play the game of their lives. and it could have turned out so differently. lauren hemp's shot inches away. england lost concentration and lost possession. olga carmona ran unchallenged and put spain ahead. and an england handball gave spain the chance for the second. jennifer hermoso stepped up but mary earps was heroic. prompting these scenes in plymouth, in birmingham, in grimsby, and wembley. there was a last chance to take the match to extra time

but laurenjames couldn't hit the target. so full time blew and it was spain who celebrated. it hadn't been england's night. and the pain was etched on their faces. back home, hopes dashed, the fans watched the chance of a lifetime disappear. i'm really proud of the girls, you know, in the sense that we've overcome a lot of adversity to be in this position and i think that deserves a lot of credit. and i know that we'll look back in a couple of weeks and feel a great sense of pride. not many people get a world cup final and i know that is something to be proud of but right now it's just, yeah, superseded by a lot of emotion and disappointment. but some things are greater than football. it wasn't until after the match that spain's goal—scorer olga carmona was told her father had passed away. he hadn't seen his daughter became a spanish legend. england now begin their long journey home. perhaps empty—handed, but with the pride that only a lioness can know. jane dougall, bbc news, sydney. jane joins us now from sydney.

huge disappointment for the lionesses but in terms of what it has done for this country around the world it was quite something. absolutely and the players are going to be devastated to get to a final and not lift the trophy, that's very hard to bounce back from. you had the support from the fans outside of their hotel, they are so proud of what they've achieved. and the word pride is significant here, you heard mary earps talk about it, they are incredibly proud of the lionesses. they will be very proud of how they built on the support from back home. they didn't win but they are also very aware that they will be returning as heroes because they were finalists, they have inspired so many people, notjust young girls but also they have changed the conversation about women's football. and this hasn'tjust happened in

england. it happened here in australia and new zealand, the co—host of this very successful tournament. because we don't yet have official figures for attendance but we know that they are significantly higher than the previous world cup and everywhere we have gone in these two countries, we have gone in these two countries, we have seen posters, advertising the games, we know that the attendance has been high, and it's been a huge success for the progression of women's football. head coach of england sarina wiegman waved goodbye to the fans as she got onto the team bus but they will be hoping that is not a farewell, because she has been linked with the vacant usa job. she has been instrumental in england's success and the fa will want to keep hold of her. but she will undoubtedly have offers coming her way. and while her squad will of course be disheartened to have the trophy within reach and not to have lifted it here at this incredible tournament, don't forget this is a

young squad and there were several key players injured before a ball was even kicked. they will be hoping other opportunities will be coming their way and they will have their eyes focused on the next women's world cup. eyes focused on the next women's world cu -. . ~ eyes focused on the next women's world cu -. ., ~ i. eyes focused on the next women's world cup-— world cup. thank you very much indeed. world cup. thank you very much indeed- it _ world cup. thank you very much indeed. it all— world cup. thank you very much indeed. it all turns _ world cup. thank you very much indeed. it all turns around - world cup. thank you very much indeed. it all turns around very l indeed. it all turns around very quickly. of course the worthy winners were spain, who lifted the trophy yesterday. our reporter sergi forcada freixas is in madrid. what's the reaction be like there? there were plenty of celebrations here in the zone in madrid straight after the match camping world champions but celebrations were quite short, they only lasted for a couple of hours or so, maybe because it was too hot. lots of messages congratulating the team from royalty to politicians to other sport people. now the team is returning back so many hoping for their return here and a possible parade later this week. everyone here in spain is very touched by one story, olga

carmona, the player who scored the only goal in the final, was told just after the final that her father had died, yet you died on friday after a long illness but herfamily decided to keep that information from her so she would focus on the match. she scored and she was named the best player of the match. thank ou, the best player of the match. thank you. sergi- — a state of emergency has been declared in southern california where tropical storm hilary has arrived, bringing torrential rain. the us national weather service say the storm is expected to bring "life—threatening and catastrophic" flash flooding as it advances northwards over the region. tropical storm warnings have been issued for the first time along coastal areas of southern california. soldiers are being sent to the canadian province of british columbia to help tackle hundreds of fast spreading wildfires. more than 30,000 people across the province have been ordered to evacuate. the prime minister, justin trudeau, has described the situation there as "extraordinarily serious", with canada currently experiencing its worst

ever wildfire season. as canadians are seeing in the horrific images they see of devastation and fear of residents in northwest territories and in bc, it is an extraordinarily serious situation. the federal government is continuing to step up, with canadian armed forces resources, we are active in coordinating with the regional and local governments to make sure people are safe, make sure we are doing everything to protect lives and property. justin trudeau talking about the wildfires in canada going on at the moment. , , . , ., moment. terrible pictures from there. moment. terrible pictures from there- really — moment. terrible pictures from there. really scary _ moment. terrible pictures from there. really scary stuff. - moment. terrible pictures from there. really scary stuff. sarah | moment. terrible pictures from . there. really scary stuff. sarah can tell us what the weak�*s weather looks like you're in the uk.

good morning. a little bit mixed this week, warm sunshine around in the south and east but some showers in the forecast as well. this is how we start the day in derbyshire this morning, looking dried —— dry there but there is some mist and fog which will clear away quickly. a dry day for england and wales, long spells of sunshine and warm, cloudy skies further north with blustery showers particularly later in the day. low pressure moving its way in from the north—west, a few isobars, blustery weather, high pressure holds on further south keeping things dry and settled. a bit of low cloud and mist units for southern and south—western parts, and this area rain moving in to scotland later on. long spells of sunshine for england and wales. 25 or 26 degrees. typically the low 20s

further north. through into the evening hours, dry for many of us, a band of rain moving south and east across scotland and northern ireland. some showers overnight. temperature holding up say 1a or 15 degrees, it will feel quite warm and muggy. tomorrow we will have showers around particularly across of the northern half of the uk, easing later on, sunshine and light winds coming through, south and east should stay dry. temperatures up to 25 degrees, warm and dry weather for the next few days but something a bit cooler by the end of the week. let's have a look at today's papers. and most front pages lean on england's loss to spain in the final of the women's world cup. the guardian carries an aerial shot of the lionesses and support staff in a huddle after the match, with the headline "pride and pain".

"proud of you" is the mirror's choice of words — with a full—page tribute to england, who the paper says have "inspired the nation". several papers also report on the upcoming sentencing of baby killer lucy letby. the mail reports that families of the children murdered or harmed by letby have demanded a law to force convicted people to attend their sentencing hearing. we will be talking about that later on. and the telegraph says a government source has told the paper that letby could be forced to appear in court to face victims through what's described as "lawful enforcement". more on that coming up this morning. they're the people responsible for defending the skies and securing the seas, but much of the work done by the royal air force goes on behind closed doors. now, a new six—part documentary aims to show what life is like for the pilots and personnel who are working to protect the nation. let's take a look.

month compared to almost 42,000 last year. since the beginning of the year, the aa has attended over 360,000 pothole related incidents. and things aren't looking great. the aa says that "2023 is looking to be one of the worst on record for pothole damage". the advice for drivers and indeed those on two wheels isjust to be aware. particularly when you are on rural roads — that's where most of the potholes are. the motorways and the main a roads tend to be better maintained. but particularly when it's raining, be careful. if there is a puddle there that you can safely avoid, do avoid it, because that is where people are falling foul of the potholes — going through a puddle, hitting that hole on the road, and it causes considerable damage, and on two wheels can actually knock you off the bike or the motorbike.

some great tips there, concerning how to avoid potential pothole damage to your car. and remember, you can always claim for damage too. why not send us pictures of some of your pothole woes? you can send us a message on whatsapp — the number is 0330123 0440, orjust scan the qr code with your phone's camera and that will automatically start a chat with us. you can still get in touch with us by email, and on twitter as well. i will go through hopefully some of those examples a little later. i think you are going to get loads. you will need a bigger inbox. you will also look like you are falling into all there.— will also look like you are falling into all there. ., ~ , ., , . time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

between canning town and stratford international. minor delays on the picaddilly line. some isuues on the london overground too. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it is a mild start to the new week. any early cloud will break to sunny spells and the temperature feeling warm. there are also one or two mist and fog patches around within that low cloud but, as i said, it's going to clear very quickly. those sunny spells developing through the day and into the afternoon, temperatures feeling warm — 25 or 26 celsius. a pleasant evening in the sunshine, then overnight it is dry with lengthy clear spells to start. more cloud edging in as we head through the early hours and into tuesday morning. the minimum temperature dropping to 12 celsius. tomorrow, similar conditions, really. high pressure still in charge, any early cloud will break, and we'll see another day full of sunshine. the wind fairly light and temperatures getting up to again mid 20s — 25 or26. wednesday looks similar,

the high pressurejust about hanging on and temperatures staying in the mid 20s. thursday, again looking like another largely dry day. as we head towards the end of the week, more unsettled and temperatures cooler. that's it. back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. yesterday's world cup result might not have been the one the lionesses were hoping for but, for thousands of fans, the team are an inspiration. there are still celebrations of sorts this morning. john is at a grassroots club in wembley for us this morning. everyone is up early. yes, we are here at a grassroots

club in london this morning. that is coach keith, he has the cones out, putting us through our paces this morning. we are talking grassroots and the legacy of the lionesses. despite their heartbreaking defeat it is about focusing on the positivity and the lasting legacy they will bring, already establishing norms in the women's game, inspiring the next generation, and nobody represents that more than ten—year—olds tess. last year she captured the mood of a nation when she was filmed dancing in the stands when england beat sweden in last year's euros. we thought we would link up again ahead of yesterday's final on what was a very special

weekend for her. it's breakfast time. we're a few hours from kick off. tess, we're back after the euros final and that win last summer. today, a world cup final. how are you feeling? i'm feeling super excited. they're going to smash it today. now, i know you captured the nation's hearts with your dancing last summer. so you're on tv. that was just the best day ever. everyone was so nice. is so crazy. well, i think today the lionesses are going to need the support of their number one fan. are you ready? yes, definitely. come on. let's do this. let's go. you were very popular last summer. i remember. you can go anywhere without anybody stopping to say hello. do you remember that? tess from tv!

yeah. yeah, it was really weird. people were just like, oh, can i have a picture? and i was like, yeah, i know. breakfast were able to sort it for you to get inside there and watching it last summer. now we can't get you out to sydney, but i think today this is going to be just as fun. we're going to watch it on the big screen. you've got your kit, the russo shirt, your hat, your scarf. thank you. 0k. and a massive flag. you set? yeah. come on, then. let's do it. let's go. come on, england. england did it at home. can they do it in sydney? daly at the back post, tees it up off the ball. how close can you get? oh, tess, itjust hit the bar. i thought that was a goal there. this is dangerous. england's for the second

time at this world cup are going to have to come from behind. england trailing at half time. but what tess doesn't realize is there's a little surprise planned which might just lift her spirits. she was one of the lionesses' biggest fans. she's celebrating her birthday. tess! how cool was that? that was really cool. just remind us how old you are, tess. i'm ten now. and what would you like most of all? what would be the best birthday present above anything else? lionesses to win. so england's1—0 down, and now they're checking a possible penalty for spain. decision is penalty.

mary earps comes up with a big moment. can you believe it? yes, ican. i love her! you're going to have your ups and downs for your team, but you can't stop being a good fan for them because that willjust put them down as well. final seconds of this world cup potentially, and that's it. heartbreak for the lionesses. don't cry. i know how upset you were. it's not the birthday treat you would have hoped for, is it? no. it's not the birthday wish. i was very happy for them and proud of them for getting to where they did. hey, do you know what might perk us up, though? grab a slice of birthday cake. yes. cakeis cake is always the answer. great

atmosphere down there yesterday with tess cheering till the very end, as lots of people wear. huge number of messages of support despite the defeat. prime minister rishi sunak saying... "you left absolutely nothing out there, lionesses. it wasn't to be, but you've already secured your legacy as game changers. we are all incredibly proud of you." labour leader kier starmer tweeted "heartbreaking. so proud of the england team who inspired the whole country. this isjust the beginning for the lionesses" and the prince of wales — who is also president of the fa — said, "although it s the result none of us wanted, lionesses, you have done yourselves and this nation proud. your spirit & drive have inspired so many people and paved the way for generations to come. thank you for the footballing memories. congratulations to spain."

it wasn't long ago that katarina johnson—thompson was on the brink of giving up athletics... but after a succession of injuries that eventually ruined her tokyo olympics, the heptathlete has won her second world title, claiming britain's first gold of the championships in budapest. it is her second world championship gold. ben croucher reports. in 2019, she experienced the highest of highs. she is the world champion, katrina johnson—thompson of liverpool. then at the tokyo olympics in 2021... oh, no, it all comes crashing down. now the woman they call kjt is back on top of the world.

she started the day second in the heptathlon but sprung into the lead with the best long jump in the field. javelin is seldom seen as her strongest suit but she produced her furthest ever throw, to stun maybe even herself. 46.14. wow. a new lifetime best. in the 800 metres, all she had to do was keep anna hall in her sights and finish within three seconds of the american. she chased her for two laps, where two days of competition came down to the final few strides. you can do it, come on! it's close. hall is across the line. that is going to be a gold medal. it's hers! another personal best, another crowning glory. i've committed to the vision, i've committed to trying again, committed to getting my heart broken again. this time i didn't, it's all come good, and i'm just so happy. not long ago, katarina johnson—thompson had considered giving it all up, but there's no stopping her now. ben croucher, bbc news.

what a great day for her. also in budapest, zharnel hughes is the first british man to win a hundred metres medal at a world championships for 20 years after clinching bronze as american noah lyles triumphed. it's a first individual global medalfor hughes, who'll now turn his attention to the two hundred metres on wednesday. catalans dragons swept aside holders leeds rhinos with a dominant display to win their first wheelchair challenge cup title. nico clausells was voted player of the match after grabbing five tries, with seb bechara scoring the last points of the game to make it 66—20. the dragons were beaten by leeds in last years final, and bechara says this success is payback for that defeat. talking about catalans so much over the last couple of years, well, over 13 years, about how they are the best team in the world, and we never got to prove that. i think today we came out there,

we proved what we were worth and what we should have done last year and, you know, a lot of respect to leeds, a brilliant team, but catalan dragons, for me, best club in the world. and of course this morning we will be reflecting on the legacy and achievements of the lionesses at this grassroots club in london. what will be working on this morning? warm—ups? go easy on us. it's early. there you go. a few drills this morning. looking forward to that, good luck. three of the stars of the world cup team — ella toone, keira walsh and georgia stanway — all came through the ranks at blackburn. jayne mccubbin is there for us this morning with the next generation of players. what is your team cold? morning to

don't appear to listen to the sentences being handed down. in some cases that will not make an impact, if someone will spend the rest of their life behind bars anyway, but in other cases it will make a very real difference. but there might be other ways of doing it, for example privileges in prison, or making sure, one thing that has been suggested, having the sentences live streamed into someone's sale if they refuse to attend. none of the have been put into place by the government. there is a realfailure on the part of government to take decisive action on this issue. it might be too late for today's hearing now. we might be too late for today's hearing now.— might be too late for today's hearin: now. 9 ~ :, :, hearing now. we know that robert buckland, former _ hearing now. we know that robert buckland, formerjustice _ hearing now. we know that robert| buckland, formerjustice secretary, buckland, former justice secretary, suggested buckland, formerjustice secretary, suggested the victim bill could be

statements and hear about the impact that they are crimes have had. and they need to be in the courtroom to hear, it is fundamental to the justice system that justice hear, it is fundamental to the justice system thatjustice is not only done but seem to be done. there are calls for — only done but seem to be done. there are calls for any _ only done but seem to be done. there are calls for any inquiry _ only done but seem to be done. there are calls for any inquiry to _ only done but seem to be done. there are calls for any inquiry to be - only done but seem to be done. there are calls for any inquiry to be led by a judge. does a non—statutory inquiry go far enough and how would you change the remit, the process of the inquiry, if you had any say? it doesn't go far enough and we would like to see a statutory inquiry into what has happened here. these are the most awful despicable crimes, and the families want the statutory inquiry, it is what they are calling for, and we need to take into account the views of families that have been through so much, such an ordeal, and if you have a statutory inquiry of course witnesses will be compelled to attend, documents would have to be disclosed, it is what the

families want, it is the right thing to do, and i hope the government reflect on that and have a statutory inquiry into what went very badly wrong here. the inquiry into what went very badly wrong here-— inquiry into what went very badly wron: here. , :, , , wrong here. the focus today is very much on the _ wrong here. the focus today is very much on the families _ wrong here. the focus today is very much on the families and _ wrong here. the focus today is very much on the families and victims i wrong here. the focus today is very much on the families and victims inj much on the families and victims in this case. what would labour do to restore public confidence in the system? i restore public confidence in the s stem? ~ : system? i think confidence in the criminaljustice _ system? i think confidence in the criminaljustice system _ system? i think confidence in the criminaljustice system is - system? i think confidence in the criminaljustice system is at - system? i think confidence in the criminaljustice system is at rock| criminaljustice system is at rock bottom at the moment. we have already spoken about the fact these defendants are not turning up to listen to their sentences. we have a system beset by courts delays in hearing cases, we have prisons which aren't rehabilitating people, people waiting years for justice. aren't rehabilitating people, people waiting years forjustice. there is so much more that could be done but we have a government out of ideas and not driving these things forward. we waited seven years for a victims bill and in that bill they are simply is not enough to restore

the confidence that the criminal justice system works for people rather than against them. coming up on the programme... cheering. we'll be speaking to two—time world champion katarina johnson—thompson after her stunning heptathlon gold medal yesterday. what an achievement. after everything she has been through. never mind the mail, what about the crown? time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm asad ahmad. the ulez scrappage scheme opens—up to all londoners this morning. it means that anyone who lives in london can access up to £2,000 to replace non—compliant cars. the ulez expansion will come into effect in eight days' time

the government has ordered an independent inquiry to look at how she was able to kill so many babies without being stopped earlier. but letby�*s refusal to face the families whose lives she's destroyed has led to renewed calls to compel convicted criminals to attend court for sentencing hearings. graham satchell, bbc news. nick garnettjoins us now from outside manchester crown court. whether or not lucy letby appears in the courtroom, families get their chance today to have their say, don't they?— don't they? yes, before the sentencing _ don't they? yes, before the sentencing is _ don't they? yes, before the sentencing is completed, i don't they? yes, before the i sentencing is completed, they don't they? yes, before the - sentencing is completed, they will have the chance to either read all the own statement or have statements read out. these are victim impact statements and it's a chance for us to learn about the children, and how the effects of what has happened to

the loss had sunk in but it wasn't any easier to bear. the lionesses left their hotel in sydney to applause from waiting fans. it's been a brilliant tournament, it's been brilliant, being out here just following them. yeah, we're disappointed obviously but we're just so proud. they're going to get it next time. yeah, there's more to come from this team, yeah, we do. mary earps, she'sjust. so good at being goalie, and yeah, she's amazing. it's just going to grow and grow and get bigger and better and i'm so hopeful and looking forward to the euros and switzerland and the nations league coming up, and we're going to be heading up to that so we are immensely proud. it had started with so much hope. a steely captain millie bright leading them out to play the game of their lives. and it could have turned out so differently. lauren hemp's shot inches away. england lost concentration and lost possession. olga carmona ran unchallenged and put spain ahead. an england handball gave spain

the chance for the second. jennifer hermoso stepped up but mary earps was heroic. prompting these scenes in plymouth, in birmingham, in grimsby, and wembley. there was a last chance to take the match to extra time but laurenjames couldn't hit the target. so full time blew and it was spain who celebrated. it hadn't been england's night. and the pain was etched on their faces. back home, hopes dashed, the fans watched the chance of a lifetime disappear. i'm really proud of the girls, you know, in the sense that we've overcome a lot of adversity to be in this position and i think that deserves a lot of credit. and i know that we'll look back in a couple of weeks and feel a great sense of pride. not many people get to a world cup final and i know that is something to be proud of but right now it's just, yeah, superseded by a lot

of emotion and disappointment. but some things are greater than football. it wasn't until after the match that spain's goal—scorer olga carmona was told her father had passed away. he hadn't seen his daughter became a spanish legend. england now begin their long journey home. perhaps empty—handed, but with the pride that only a lioness can know. jane dougall, bbc news, sydney. jane joins us now from sydney. morning, jane. i know this is a really devastating loss for the lioness is that they have accomplished so much, have the lionesses?— accomplished so much, have the lionesses? , :, , , lionesses? yes, of course they will be devastated _ lionesses? yes, of course they will be devastated to _ lionesses? yes, of course they will be devastated to get _ lionesses? yes, of course they will be devastated to get to _ lionesses? yes, of course they will be devastated to get to a _ lionesses? yes, of course they will be devastated to get to a final- lionesses? yes, of course they will be devastated to get to a final and | be devastated to get to a final and not lifted the trophy will be very hard for the players to bounce back from that. i think the word here is pride. we heard mary earps use it, the fans of his time and time again and they are very —— have used it time and time again and they are

very proud of how far they have got in this tournament. the lionesses are aware of the support back home, they have been watching social media videos and interacting with the fans who travelled all this wait to see them. they didn't win but they are returning heroes, notjust because they are finalists but because they have inspired so many people, young girls and they have also changed the conversation about women's football. that has just happened in conversation about women's football. that hasjust happened in england, it also happened to both here in australia and new zealand, the hosts of this phenomenal tournament. it's been very successful here. everywhere we have gone, we have heard people talking about the matches, all of the teams, notjust at the matildas and england, all of the teams involved. and it has thrown up so many surprises, it's been a fascinating tournament and the attendances have gone up considerably since the previous world cup in 2019. we don't have a figures yet but we know that the

tendency stadium has been high. it has done so much for the progression and visibility of the english team. sarina wiegman the head coach of england waved at fans before she got on the team bus, but the fans will be hoping that is not a goodbye wave as she has been linked with the vacant usa head coach teen position. and of course she is going to be linked because she has done so well with england. she has said she is staying until 2025 to see out her contract but she will be a target. her squad will be disheartened to have the trophy within reach and not be able to lift it but to key players were missing before the tournament began so maybe with a full strength england, they could have had the edge on a very impressive spanish side. thank you, treat to impressive spanish side. thank you, great to talk— impressive spanish side. thank you, great to talk to _ impressive spanish side. thank you, great to talk to you. _ of course the worthy winners were spain who lifted the trophy yesterday. our reporter sergi forcadda freixas is in madrid.

later in the day. for scotland and northern ireland, cloudier, the breeze picking up, isolated showers ahead of the main rain band. temperatures still doing well, up to 25 or 26. low 20s in the northern areas. into the evening for many of us a dry evening in the south, a few showers in wales and northern england but the area of showery rain then tracks south and east across scotland and north —— northern ireland. temperatures 14 to 16, quite a warm, muggy feeling night. into tuesday, more showers across the north and west of the uk, a few further south into essential wales and northern england, and later they will ease so improving across parts of scotland. for much of central, southern and eastern england, you should avoid the showers and have a warm day. 25 degrees in the south—east, 16. no way. things are

going to stay warm at least in the south during the day on wednesday but something a bit more unsettled and a touch cooler as we look towards the end of the week. for england fans watching at home and down under the result may have been heart—breaking but it was a world cup to remember for the lionesses who made history making it to the final. our correspondent shaimaa khalil joined supporters watching the game in sydney. their faces said it all. as the lionesses kept pushing until the end, their fans were losing hope with every passing minute. they had faith in their team and desperately wanted them to turn things around. i'm stressed — i want england to win. but it wasn't to be for the lionesses. the final whistle declared spain as the world champions, with their fans erupting in celebrations. they played well, but the best team won, i think. first half, spain were the stronger team. but, you know, we did our best and it is what it is.

they've just done us so proud. like this whole competition, they've just, start to finish. i was watching when when we beat matildas, i was like, "oh, my gosh, so proud." so, yeah, good on them and i hope it gives a lot of like inspiration to a lot of younger girls out there that they can grow up and go, "yeah, i can take this world stage and do something too," now. i'm actually super emotional and i'm just so proud. i'm a long way from home. incredible. so excited that spain was on top today. it was, yeah, it was a good game, it was a really good game. we did it, we did it, as i told you before. we did it, finally, yeah, so happy. i can't believe it. like, we've just won the whole world cup and our name is on that cup, and we played against england, who was like the hardest team, and we've like won. this fanzone has been the hub of so many emotions throughout the tournament — heartbreaks and triumphs, upsets and nail—biting penalty shoot—outs. the england fans have often been outnumbered here, but today

out there supporting them were there, but coming back they will hopefully feel the love and the effect they have had on anyone. iloathed effect they have had on anyone. what has made the — effect they have had on anyone. what has made the difference with this team? taking a step back and getting past the disappointed, they made it to a world cup final, what made the difference? i love reading about the whole idea of how they approached the game, the mental approach, they take all of the emotion out of it, how important is that?— take all of the emotion out of it, how important is that? yeah, for me it is the belief _ how important is that? yeah, for me it is the belief that _ how important is that? yeah, for me it is the belief that the _ how important is that? yeah, for me it is the belief that the mentality. i it is the belief that the mentality. i think it shifted. they did win the euros and no matter what they have come up against, injuries pre—tournament, through the tournament, the red card, penalties, whatever it is, they have come up against so much adversity but underlying they have always had the belief that they would make it happen and find a way to win. i think that was evident throughout the whole tournament. they probably didn't play the best football, but they found a way to get through and underlying that was the belief.

that's a really good point, they didn't necessarily play the best football but they found a way to win. i football but they found a way to win. ~ 9, football but they found a way to win. ~ :, , :, , , win. i think that shows the strength ofthe win. i think that shows the strength of the squad- _ win. i think that shows the strength of the squad. there _ win. i think that shows the strength of the squad. there was _ win. i think that shows the strength of the squad. there was a - win. i think that shows the strength of the squad. there was a lot - win. i think that shows the strength of the squad. there was a lot about j of the squad. there was a lot about the injuries and the players missing, they were huge players but it gave opportunities for other players to come in. i think they showed the strength of the squad with the injuries and suspension, other players stepped up so that the progression of the game and how many young people are coming through. hopefully we can keep that going and we have future generations that the level keeps progressing. ietefe we have future generations that the level keeps progressing.— level keeps progressing. we talked about what has _ level keeps progressing. we talked about what has changed, _ level keeps progressing. we talked about what has changed, some - level keeps progressing. we talked i about what has changed, some things have not changed, struck by the figures, the lionesses got a bonus of 150 ground for reaching the final which is a lot of money but the men would get 500,000, so more than three times more, for reaching a world cup final. when you see that in here that, what do you think?

obviously there is still a long way to go. we have to be real with that. i think it's hard to compare the men and the women. but what i would love to see is the investment at all levels of the game, notjust necessarily at the top. starting at schools, giving opportunities for the same young girls that young boys have got in terms of whether that be accessibility, facilities, evenjust having the kits to go and play and having the kits to go and play and having the kits to go and play and having the confidence that if you are a girl and you want to play its the same as having that opportunity as a young boy. women have changed the perception and have help investment but i would like to see it change because the reality is we still have teams going part—time in the top league. we need more funding to raise the game and the quality of the game ultimately which is going to have a knock—on effect. ietefe

weather, they say their street is strewn with potholes. chris in aberdeen has had a bad time of it, he hit this pothole and had to have two new tyres. same with steve in nottingham, this caused him to have two new tyres in two months. and ron in has put 8 tires on his car this year, four to pass the mot and four to survive conditions like this in winchester. and to say it's notjust a problem for car, alan says it is a nightmare for mobility scooters when people put their bins out and he's forced into the road. and ben is here — why is it so bad? it is getting worse, the aa has a pothole index and it found that there were 50,000 pothole related breakdowns injuly there were 50,000 pothole related breakdowns in july this there were 50,000 pothole related

breakdowns injuly this year there were 50,000 pothole related breakdowns in july this year that they attended, up from breakdowns injuly this year that they attended, up from 42,000 in july last year, they are a tribute in —— attributing the difference to the wet weather, they make potholes harder to see because they look like puddles and then it is harder to repair them because councils cannot carry out repairs on a wet road. we have had semi messages about this, the frustration that people feel, saying why doesn't the council fixed them? the local government them ? the local government association them? the local government association says to bring the uk road network up to scratch completely would cost £14 billion. i don't know how they have reached that sum but that is their estimate to repair all of the potholes and bring the uk up to standard. the counterargument is that if that money is not spent on repairing the roads, the cost is incurred by drivers, cyclists, people who then have to spend money getting car repairs done. the last thing they needin repairs done. the last thing they

need in a cost of living crisis is an unexpected bill to repair damaged caused by a pothole. isl an unexpected bill to repair damaged caused by a pothole.— caused by a pothole. 14 billion now, if ou caused by a pothole. 14 billion now, if you don't — caused by a pothole. 14 billion now, if you don't do _ caused by a pothole. 14 billion now, if you don't do it _ caused by a pothole. 14 billion now, if you don't do it it _ caused by a pothole. 14 billion now, if you don't do it it will— caused by a pothole. 14 billion now, if you don't do it it will be _ caused by a pothole. 14 billion now, if you don't do it it will be 15 - caused by a pothole. 14 billion now, if you don't do it it will be 15 or - if you don't do it it will be 15 or 16, it amounts. if you don't do it it will be 15 or 16, itamounts. thank if you don't do it it will be 15 or 16, it amounts. thank you very much indeed, keep your pictures coming in. coming up. you're most likely to recognise him from his role in line of duty. now tommyjessop is trying to head to hollywood. he'll be here to tell us all about it. that isn't hollywood! not long to wait for that. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. the ulez scrappage scheme opens—up to all londoners this morning. it means that anyone who lives in london can access up to £2,000 to replace non—compliant cars. the ulez expansion will come into effect in eight days' time,

to clear very quickly. those sunny spells developing through the day and into the afternoon, temperatures feeling warm — 25 or 26 celsius. a pleasant evening in the sunshine, then overnight it is dry with lengthy clear spells to start. more cloud edging in as we head through the early hours and into tuesday morning. the minimum temperature dropping to 12 celsius. tomorrow, similar conditions, really. high pressure still in charge, any early cloud will break, and we'll see another day full of sunshine. the wind fairly light and temperatures getting up to again mid 20s — 25 or26. wednesday looks similar, the high pressurejust about hanging on and temperatures staying in the mid 20s. thursday, again looking like another largely dry day. as we head towards the end of the week, more unsettled and temperatures cooler. that's all for now. back in half an hour.

to hear her punishment. the 33—year—old murdered seven newborn babies and attempted to murder six more. we're joined now by children and families minister claire coutinho. i know the government has talked about changing the law to force a convicted criminal to be in the courtroom for sentencing will stop when is the change going to happen? i don't know when it is going to happen but thejustice i don't know when it is going to happen but the justice secretary said he is committed to doing it at the earliest possible time. i think it is important to explain why. that is the moment when victims get to read out impact statements and they can talk to the perpetrator about exactly what they have done to them and their family. exactly what they have done to them and theirfamily. when exactly what they have done to them and their family. when you have a crime such as this, which we all agree is one of the most sickening crimes i have seen in my lifetime,

it is important they get that moment. there are some laws in place at the moment which mean you can compel people to come and they will get an extra custodial sentence, i think two years, if they do not, but it looks like we have to do more. campaigners were calling for this before the last queen's speech in may last year and now it is possibly going to be in the kings speech in november. they will be asking why you haven't done something sooner. i can't speak to what will be in upcoming legislation but i know the justice secretary has talked about his commitment for making sure this is put in place. whenever we put forward legislative agendas there are things competing and over the last few years we have had a few big challenges in terms of the pandemic and inflation but it is important we get this right. it is the moment victims have their time in court and perpetrators can face justice and i

justice, we have to do everything we can to make sure that can happen. you are ministerfor can to make sure that can happen. you are minister for children and families and i know you will make an announcement this morning on a change child minders might operate. childminders are an important part of the system and we care deeply about it. we are making the largest investment into childcare in the next few years. one of the things we have seen here and other countries is childminders leaving the sector. they provide amazing education and development for children and also give parents flexibility as well so they are a brilliant part of the childcare system. we looked at some reasons why people are not signing up reasons why people are not signing up or coming out of the system and one of those is property. one in eight childminders are stopped because of property restrictions, it might be a tenancy agreement or restrictive covenant. the

might be a tenancy agreement or restrictive covenant.— restrictive covenant. the early years alliance _ restrictive covenant. the early years alliance said _ restrictive covenant. the early years alliance said it - restrictive covenant. the early i years alliance said it will make a tiny difference to the overall picture and not result in more available childminders. fine picture and not result in more available childminders. one in eight is significant- _ available childminders. one in eight is significant. we _ available childminders. one in eight is significant. we are _ available childminders. one in eight is significant. we are looking - available childminders. one in eight is significant. we are looking at - is significant. we are looking at other changes to combat things like loneliness and investing more into childcare to make sure finances stack up. one other thing i will be doing is writing to councils to make sure childminders can be paid monthly, because there are still some who are paid by term, which can be hard to manage. yesterday's world cup result might not have been the one the lionesses were hoping for, but for thousands of fans the team are an inspiration. john is at a grassroots club

in wembley for us this morning. we are seeing it first hand this morning, we are here at a grassroots club in london, lots of players being put through their paces this morning, and they are feeling inspired by what we saw play out over the course of the world cup from the lioness is. the legacy they are leaving behind seen first hand. we will be speaking in a moment to some of those who run the club. let's go to sydney and speak to dan rowan. we will come onto the lasting legacy that the lionesses will leave. what do you feel will be the take home for england from this world cup, having fallen just short? i for england from this world cup, having fallen just short?- for england from this world cup, having fallen just short? having fallen 'ust short? i guess as encland having fallen just short? i guess as england begin _ having fallen just short? i guess as england begin their— having fallen just short? i guess as england begin their long _ having fallen just short? i guess as england begin their long flight - having fallen just short? i guess as i england begin their long flight home today from sydney it will be hard

for them to look at too many positives in the disappointment of defeat. who knows how many will get the chance to play in a world cup final in future? once the dust has settled and they have processed what happened last night against spain they will draw plenty of solace and comfort. this is a side which has suffered extensive absentees through injury, the likes of the captain leah williamson, top scorer of the euros beth mead, fran kirby as well. having got to the final despite that is no mean feat. reaching a major tournament final in quick succession is an outstanding achievement. but this is a young squad and there's a lot to look forward to. sarina wiegman is contracted for another few years. these players will be backin few years. these players will be back in action pretty quickly for

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. nurse lucy letby, the uk's most prolific child serial killer, is due to be sentenced later for murdering seven newborn babies and trying to kill six others. also this morning, the lionesses begin their long journey home from sydney after their defeat to spain in the women's world cup final. england have left australia without the trophy but with a great sense of

pride after getting to that final where they lost to spain. good morning from youngs fc, a grassroots club down here in london this morning, we are talking about legacy and the impact the lionesses have had on young fans despite the defeat yesterday. and big news for katarina johnson—thompson who is a double world champion after victory in the heptathlon yesterday at the world athletics championships in budapest. some warm sunshine around today, particularly across parts of england and wales, but blustery showers later on for scotland and northern ireland. more details shortly. it's monday 21st august. the serial killer, lucy letby, is to be sentenced today for murdering seven babies and attempting to murder another six at the countess of chester hospital. letby�*s crimes took place while she worked as a nurse on the neonatal unit

between 2015 and 2016. she has indicated that she will not attend manchester crown court to hear her sentence. graham satchell reports. lucy, is it? yes. my name is...from chester police. ok to step in for two seconds? yes... yeah, thank you. the moment lucy letby was arrested. today, britain's most prolific baby killer will be told how long she'll spend in prison. but letby�*s lawyers have indicated she won't be present when sentence is passed. letby worked at the countess of chester hospital. she deliberately injected babies with air, force—fed others with milk and poisoned two infants with insulin. today, some of the parents who've been left devastated by letby�*s crimes will make personal impact statements in court. many are furious that letby won't be there. speaking to the daily mail, one father said... letby�*s absence today is the latest in a series of high profile cases.

all i want to know is what i'm arrested for. thomas cashman refused to attend court when he was sentenced for killing nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel. koci selamaj did the same when he was sentenced for the murder of schoolteacher sabina nessa. did you have any concerns that there was a rise in the mortality rate? yes. lucy letby is likely to spend the rest of her life in jail. the government has ordered an independent inquiry to look at how she was able to kill so many babies without being stopped earlier. but letby�*s refusal to face the families whose lives she's destroyed has led to renewed calls to compel convicted criminals to attend court for sentencing hearings. graham satchell, bbc news. nick garnettjoins us now

from outside manchester crown court. lucy from outside manchester crown court. letby may r courtroom, lucy letby may not be in the courtroom, but those families of the babies who were killed will be. and this is their moment to explain the impact all of this has had on them. yes, up to now, everything that we have heard in the case has been anonymous. we haven't known the babies names or the families but we will hear today, and that will stay in place, but what we will hear todayis in place, but what we will hear today is the human suffering of the families of all of those that she attacked and murdered. it will be an opportunity for them to say exactly how this has affected them. the judge mrjustice goss will listen to those statements and then we'll pass sentence. lucy letby is going to prison for life, we know that because she has been convicted of murder, it'sjust a question of because she has been convicted of murder, it's just a question of how long, whether it is a determined

number of years or a whole life tariff, which is the most severe sentence you can get in british justice, spending the rest of your life in prison. today is not the end of the matter, there will be a public inquiry. there is also a police operation continuing looking at all of the babies that came under the care of lucy letby during her career as a nurse between 2012 and 2016. looking to see if anyone else was hurt or attacked. that operation is still ongoing. the government say there will be a public inquiry but there will be a public inquiry but the one thing that we haven't had an answer to, and the one thing that we haven't had an answerto, and i the one thing that we haven't had an answer to, and i don't know if we have a welcome is the central question that everyone wants answered, which is why lucy letby —— i don't know if we have a will, with this essential question, why did lucy letby do this? we will be following the sentencing all day on the bbc and we will be

talking later on whether the government would be able to change the laws in force a convicted criminal to hear the sentencing. england's lionesses are on their way back to the uk from australia after their heartbreaking world cup final defeat. messages of support have been flooding in for the team after their 1—0 loss to spain yesterday. it was their first appearance in the final of the tournament since it began in 1991. jane dougall reports. the loss had sunk in but it wasn't any easier to bear. the lionesses left their hotel in sydney to applause from waiting fans. it's been a brilliant tournament, it's been brilliant, being out here just following them. yeah, we're disappointed obviously but we're just so proud. they're going to get it next time. yeah, there's more to come from this team, yeah, we do. mary earps, she'sjust. so good at being goalie, and yeah, she's amazing. it's just going to grow and grow and get bigger and better and i'm so hopeful and looking forward

to the euros and switzerland and the nations league coming up, and we're going to be heading up to that so we are immensely proud. it had started with so much hope. a steely captain millie bright leading them out to play the game of their lives. and it could have turned out so differently. lauren hemp's shot inches away. england lost concentration and lost possession. olga carmona ran unchallenged and put spain ahead. an england handball gave spain the chance for the second. jennifer hermoso stepped up but mary earps was heroic. prompting these scenes in plymouth, in birmingham, in grimsby, and wembley. there was a last chance to take the match to extra time but laurenjames couldn't hit the target. so full time blew and it was spain who celebrated. it hadn't been england's night.

and the pain was etched on their faces. back home, hopes dashed, the fans watched the chance of a lifetime disappear. i'm really proud of the girls, you know, in the sense that we've overcome a lot of adversity to be in this position and i think that deserves a lot of credit. and i know that we'll look back in a couple of weeks and feel a great sense of pride. not many people get to a world cup final and i know that is something to be proud of but right now it's just, yeah, superseded by a lot of emotion and disappointment. but some things are greater than football. it wasn't until after the match that spain's goal—scorer olga carmona was told her father had passed away. he hadn't seen his daughter became a spanish legend. england now begin their long journey home. perhaps empty—handed, but with the pride that only a lioness can know. jane dougall, bbc news, sydney. jane joins us now from sydney. this is a devastating

loss for the lionesses, what was the atmosphere like there? what is next to this group of players? what is next to this group of nla ers? ii i what is next to this group of nla ers? ., , ., , what is next to this group of nla ers? :i i: , :, players? that is a very important uestion players? that is a very important question -- _ players? that is a very important question -- what _ players? that is a very important question -- what is _ players? that is a very important question -- what is next - players? that is a very important question -- what is next for- players? that is a very important question -- what is next for this | question —— what is next for this group of players? you heard the positivity from the fans and the players, the knowledge that they had the ability to get to that final and another day on a full—strength england team, because they had several serious injuries to key players before the tournament even began, may be on another day, a different england could have beaten that very impressive spanish side. the thing is, a final and not to a final and not too when it is devastating, and, yes, it is going to take a while for these fans to bounce back but the fans outside the hotel was so proud of them. that came up again and again, pride. they did not win but they are returning heroes to britain, they are finalists and they inspired so many

people, notjust young girls to take up people, notjust young girls to take up the ball and young boys of course, but they changed the conversation about the women's game. that didn't just conversation about the women's game. that didn'tjust happen in england watching on here in australia, that happened in the host countries, both australia and new zealand. because everywhere we went, people were so excited about this tournament. not just the viewing figures on television but the attendances in stadium, they were far greater than they were at a previous world cup. we don't have official figures yet but we know that we have a large amount, largerthan but we know that we have a large amount, larger than the previous world cup. it has been good for the progression in the mean —— visualisation of the women's game. with little they took off from sydney, sarina wiegman posted on social media, she said it was disappointing but she was proud and she went on to talk about the

injuries that england faced, leah williamson, fran kirby, beth mead, but also during the tournament, keira walsh, one of the focal points of the squad was injured in the denmark game. then she had the challenge of laurenjames getting a red card and a two match suspension. they had a lot to overcome. she then went on to thank the fa and england fans. she has been linked with the vacant usajob, she has said she will stay within her contract with england until 2025, that is when she is contracted until. as she got onto the couch she waved to the england fans, they will be hoping that is not a farewell wave because they will want to keep hold of her. her squad will be disappointed at not taking home the trophy but don't forget that the key players who were injured who were not involved in

that squad. this is a young squad as well, so they will be hopeful that they will have further opportunities in the future to lift that trophy one day. in the future to lift that trophy one da . i ii in the future to lift that trophy one da . i :, :, in the future to lift that trophy oneda.i :, :,, in the future to lift that trophy oneda.i :, :, ,, in the future to lift that trophy oneda.i :, :m one day. great to see you, thank you so much. of course the worthy winners were spain who lifted the trophy yesterday. our reporter sergi forcadda freixas is in madrid. iimagine the i imagine the celebrations went long into the night, sergi.— into the night, sergi. there was a na into the night, sergi. there was a party atmosphere _ into the night, sergi. there was a party atmosphere for _ into the night, sergi. there was a party atmosphere for the - into the night, sergi. there was a party atmosphere for the few... i party atmosphere for the few... there were people waving flags, chanting, being generally happy. the celebrations were quite short, they only lasted for two or three hours, because it was hot. plenty of comments congratulating the team from royalty, politicians and other sports people, and a lot of people

have been touched by one story, about olga carmona, the captain of the national team. after the final she found out her father had died a few days earlier, he died on friday but herfamily decided few days earlier, he died on friday but her family decided to keep that information away from her so she would focus on the final. a final in which she scored the winning goal and for which she was chosen to be the best player of the match. riiareat the best player of the match. great to see you. — the best player of the match. great to see you. sergi, _ the best player of the match. great to see you, sergi, thank— the best player of the match. great to see you, sergi, thank you. - a state of emergency has been declared in southern california where tropical storm hilary has arrived, bringing torrential rain. the us national weather service say the storm is expected to bring "life—threatening and catastrophic" flash flooding as it advances northwards over the region. tropical storm warnings have been issued for the first time along coastal areas of southern california. soldiers are being sent to the canadian province of british columbia to help tackle hundreds of fast spreading wildfires.

morning which is burning away towards the south. more cloud bubbling up through the course of the day and then we have got rain arriving later on from the north—west. temperatures for scotland and northern ireland, 22 degrees at best, 25 or 26 for central and eastern parts of england, the warmest weather to east anglia through the day. one or two showers through wales and into northern england tonight, or rain for scotland and northern ireland, tending to become more showery in nature but quite blustery night in the north but it will be mild with temperatures holding up between 14 and 15 for most of us. tomorrow more of the same, sunshine and showers, most of them will be across the northern half of the uk. tending to ease a bit late on so an improved day for scotland come the afternoon. further south across england and wales, staying dry once again. 25 degrees for tuesday, the warmth in the south holds on for the middle part of the week and then we all turn a little bit cooler and more unsettled by the end of the week.

victim impact statements will be read out in court today by some of the parents whose babies were harmed by nurse lucy letby but she won't be there to hear them. she's refused to attend her sentencing in person, which has prompted renewed calls for a change in the law. how can the law be changed and when? we're joined now by kirsty brimelow kc, chair of the criminal bar association and also by farah naz, whose niece zara aleena was murdered last year. her killer also refused to be in court for sentencing. thank you both forjoining us. if i could start with you, farah, what impact did it have on you and your family, the fact that he wasn't there to hear what you had to say and hear his sentence? it there to hear what you had to say and hear his sentence?— there to hear what you had to say and hear his sentence? it has a huge im act,

and hear his sentence? it has a huge impact, because _ and hear his sentence? it has a huge impact, because it's _ and hear his sentence? it has a huge impact, because it's very _ and hear his sentence? it has a huge impact, because it's very much - and hear his sentence? it has a huge impact, because it's very much partl impact, because it's very much part of the justice system as we know it, that the person, the murderer of your loved one, stands in the dock, faces the justice system, and also as victims, they face and they listen to the victim impact statement. it's the only moment, the only time in which the victims have a part in the justice system. and we need to have a part in the justice system in order to feel heard, in order to feel some sense of retribution. we have to be part of it. if we are so far removed from it, from the justice process, it. if we are so far removed from it, from thejustice process, then it, from thejustice process, then itjust it, from thejustice process, then it just feels a little farcical.

it, from thejustice process, then itjust feels a little farcical. and so we felt angry, we felt disenfranchised, and just as the victims of this murderer of these babies, i refused to say the name of the murderers, i think we should call them the murderers. and we should name the victims. so we need to redress power balance, and it's the same in the courtroom. the power should be taken away. when someone murders your loved one they take power so we should take that away from them, exactly what needs to be taken away when exercising justice. so i feel sad and angry for the families that are going to be delivering the victim statements that the person that murdered their babies is not going to be there to hear what they have to say. farah, there are all _ hear what they have to say. farah, there are all kinds _ hear what they have to say. farah, there are all kinds of _ hear what they have to say. farah, there are all kinds of debates - hear what they have to say. farah, there are all kinds of debates in i there are all kinds of debates in there are all kinds of debates in the papers this morning and across the papers this morning and across the country about how the law might

be changed to force a murderer into the courtroom to hear the sentence. if it was up to you to change the law, what would you like to see, how would you do it? i law, what would you like to see, how would you do it?— would you do it? i think of course we can't drag _ would you do it? i think of course we can't drag murderers - would you do it? i think of course we can't drag murderers into - would you do it? i think of course we can't drag murderers into the | we can't drag murderers into the courtroom but we can put cameras in the cell. we can give victims the opportunity to see the faces, if they so choose to. we can take away maximum, we can extend tariffs. we can take away privileges in prison. justice has to be seen to be done before victims and for criminals. —— both for victims and criminals. this is about, when we do this, we are exercising justice. also —— also exercising justice for

society, criminals will see they have to face justice. it is that moment of shame, guilt, who knows, possible remorse. that we need to see. and so, let's streamline and make them here, let's make the murderers hear the sentencing. otherwise they are just moving from one cell to another. it’s otherwise they are 'ust moving from one cell to another.— one cell to another. it's really interesting — one cell to another. it's really interesting that _ one cell to another. it's really interesting that you _ one cell to another. it's really interesting that you should i one cell to another. it's really - interesting that you should mention that about live streaming into the cell, but you would also like to see a livestream in the caught of them reacting to it?— a livestream in the caught of them reacting to it? yes, yes. we need to see, we reacting to it? yes, yes. we need to see. we need _ reacting to it? yes, yes. we need to see. we need to _ reacting to it? yes, yes. we need to see, we need to see _ reacting to it? yes, yes. we need to see, we need to see that _ reacting to it? yes, yes. we need to see, we need to see that person, i reacting to it? yes, yes. we need to| see, we need to see that person, we need to look at them in the eye. we need to look at them in the eye. we need it for a loved ones. we did get an opportunity to look at the man who murdered zara at one stage in

the court proceedings, but not in the court proceedings, but not in the sentencing. we needed to look at him and make him uncomfortable. he needed to see us, he needed to see what he did. there is never going to be a moment in his life now where he gets to hear what he did. it's never going to happen. gets to hear what he did. it's never going to happen-— going to happen. kirsty, you are chair of the _ going to happen. kirsty, you are chair of the criminal _ going to happen. kirsty, you are chair of the criminal bar - chair of the criminal bar association. i'm interested to know what your thoughts are on the practicalities of forcing someone to appear in court. would that ever work? i appear in court. would that ever work? ~' i :,: ::, i appear in court. would that ever work? ~' i work? i think the practicalities of that are you _ work? i think the practicalities of that are you massively _ work? i think the practicalities of that are you massively increase i work? i think the practicalities of. that are you massively increase risk for everybody around that prisoner, and that _ for everybody around that prisoner, and that includes those people who are applying force, the transfer of

move on, how do you progress, how do you all heal after trauma like this when you feel like there is unfinished business? i :, , unfinished business? there is always iioin to be unfinished business? there is always going to be unfinished _ unfinished business? there is always going to be unfinished business - going to be unfinished business because we don't get a resolution. we learn how to live with the trauma and our losses. and we have to do that. we are not seeking comfort as kirsty put it in the court room at all. it's not like there is any closure if the criminal is standing there, we get to face them. it's just that we need to face them, we need to face them to say, you did this to us. and, look at us. and it doesn't matter whether they have remorse or not. we just need that moment. and society needs that

moment, and criminals, this trend must stop. because actually that moment is a crime deterrent. that is what is most important here. it's not so much about the victims because we suffer for the rest of our lives. and we have to learn how to live with that suffering and to compartmentalise it. but actually, what we need here, what's really important, is that it is understood that that moment of sentencing is a crime deterrent. people are afraid people don't want to face their crime. but that is exactly what we have got to make them do. and whether they are looking remorseful or kicking and screaming, it doesn't make any difference. i wouldn't care if he was still looking angry, it is has to be, the moment has to be there. ii ii has to be, the moment has to be there. :i :, :, has to be, the moment has to be there. :i :i :, ., has to be, the moment has to be
