data from police forces across england and wales suggest that the number of younger victims and perpetrators is rising, but charities claim this is not being widely recognised. rahil sheikh reports. i went to notting hill carnival for the first time, which he was really against. but, eventually, he said yes because he sort of vetted the friends that i have. and i had 120 missed calls. he was screaming, swearing. he'd call me, like, a prostitute. and i must have been cheating if i was sort of out and about with my friends. faustine was 16 at the time and this was her first relationship. he did say things like "i love you" very early on in the relationship, and also gifting, messaging all the time. she didn't immediately realise she was experiencing coercive control, but when she went to the police, she says it was dismissed. domestic abuse, at the time i reported it and even

now, is kind of seen as a middle—aged woman's problem. i think young people, including myself, are not taken seriously. she managed to get out of the controlling relationship, but for others, the consequences can be deadly. in wiltshire, carole gould's i7—year—old—daughter ellie was murdered by her ex—boyfriend from school. hi. ellie's dad, matt, found her. she'd been stabbed 13 times in the neck. it happened in this kitchen? i block it from my mind. i think because i didn't find ellie, i can block that and separate that and remember the happy times that we had here as a family. but it's very, very hard for matt, because he has flashbacks about finding her. you are mentally damaged by that. this was a book, i think, that was left at the school. thomas griffiths was jailed for murder. two years after killing ellie, a domestic homicide review found he displayed controlling

and coercive behaviour, including educational sabotage. she wanted to focus on her studies because she had some important exams coming up, and he was making herfeel bad about that, saying, "does it not make you feel bad that we're not seeing each other after school?" and i wish now i had known more about coercive controlling behaviours and what it could lead to. coercive control was made illegal in england and wales in 2015. since then, more than a fifth of cases have been from alleged victims between the ages of 11 and 24. the number of suspects aged under 25 has been rising year on year, but only 5% of those cases resulted in a charge. more than a third of cases fall through because of a lack of evidence. campaigners say with so much communication happening between young people on their phones, more prosecutions should be taking place. but police insist it's not that simple. if perpetrators have locked down

and encrypted their accounts, that can be incredibly complex. if a phone is locked, it can take us up to two years to get into that evidence. but i'm not excusing mistakes of the past and i'm certainly not suggesting we don't have a lot more to do now. some say that an additional barrier for the police are existing laws, which fail to recognise that under—16s can be victims of domestic abuse. children should be recognised in their domestic abuse legislation, including peer—on—peer relationships. if nothing else, it's because they are different. they disclose differently, they need different support. amending the law is one solution. the other is more education. the government says compulsory relationships—and—sex—education classes are taught to students under 16 in england, but the curriculum is being reviewed this autumn. faustine thinks 16—to—18—year—olds need to be included. do you guys know what

coercive control is? not telling someone what to do but, like, saying otherthings so they do it by themselves. she's put together a team delivering sessions on coercive control in sixth forms and colleges. currently, these classes are optional, but she's calling on the government to make them compulsory. if we want young people to have the best, brightest start to their lives, we need to equip them with all these skills. otherwise, we're just setting young people up for complete failure. thank you. rahil sheikh, bbc news. fashion giant h&m has become the latest retailer to charge those who return items they've bought online. customers now must pay £1.99 to return parcels either in store or online, with the cost taken from their refund. however, returns are still free for h&m members. rival retailers such as zara and next already charge for returns of items bought on their websites. live now tojonathan de mello,

who is a retail analyst. why this push to charge customers for returns? good afternoon. it is really simple from that perspective in that they are losing money on processing returns online. like most retailers do. so they have to charge because people tend to buy seven products and return six, so they make very little money on that, so they really have to start charging in order to make any money from this. so is there a risk _ make any money from this. so is there a risk this _ make any money from this. so is there a risk this will _ make any money from this. so is there a risk this will turn - make any money from this. so is there a risk this will turn away i there a risk this will turn away customers? it there a risk this will turn away customers?— customers? it is potentially ossible customers? it is potentially possible some _ customers? it is potentially possible some customers i customers? it is potentially i possible some customers may customers? it is potentially - possible some customers may be turned away, but a lot of people do understand the environmental impact of these returns. the cost of these deliveries and reprocessing and repackaging is quite exorbitant and it impacts the environment every time you have to make a return. i think a lot of consumers and the more environmentally conscious ones will think it is a fair price to ny- will think it is a fair price to -a . �* .,

charge for returns at this point. fix, charge for returns at this point. a retail analyst, jonathan de mello, thank you. you'll have seen missing posters before, but you've probably never seen one aimed at tracking down a lost lego man. ten—year—old jack decided to act after losing a tiny figure he made to look like him on the walk to school. to jack's delight, his reward poster worked after his mum shared a photo of it on social media. they've been speaking to ian haslam. lost. has anyone seen this lego man? light—brown quiff with matching eyebrows, hawaiian shirt, blue with palm trees, an orange stripe on the bottom. dark—green pants. he's very special to me. reward, £2. with that, the hunt forjack�*s beloved lego man was under way. he'd only had it for a couple of weeks, after a visit to legoland discovery centre in the school holidays. i went to show my friend a figure

and then, when i realised it wasn't there, i was really sad. i honestly didn't think anyone would be that bothered about my poster, seeing as it'sjust a lego man and i lost it on the way to school, and now the news are interviewing me. what did you think when jack made this poster? ijust thought it was adorable, and it hurt my heart a little bit when he said "he's very special to me" and "reward, £2". i thought, oh, bless him! he must have really loved it. at which point, lorna decided to put the photo on social media, and jack's lego man quickly became infamous across cumbria. i thought it was a needle in a haystack. there was no way that people would find it. but, yeah, lots of my friends shared it. i ended up with 154 shares, i think, on facebook. so, yeah, yeah. it went big. it did. the person who actually did find it was somebody that we knew and she used to go to his school, so... and she'd seen it on social media? her mum had seen it,

and the next morning, her mum messaged me. but i already did know the lady, so it was funny. yeah. wow. so it worked. your plan worked. yeah, it did. with that came the promise of a cash payout. now, on your wanted poster, you offered £2 as a reward for anyone who found it. yeah. it was found. did you part company with that £2? the person who found it dropped it off at nursery, so... where your mum works? yeah. my mum didn't have any money on her, so she just gave her a box of chocolates instead. and he's got this message for them. thank you very much forfinding my lego man. i'm really happy that you found it because i didn't think anyone would find it. well, miracles do happen, jack. ian haslam, bbc news. jack is reunited with his lego man. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. hello. our weather is going to stay pretty wet and windy often this week and certainly the next couple of days dominated by this

area of low pressure, which actually contains the remnants of an old hurricane, hurricane lee. although the weather is going to be wet today, the majority of the rain will actually be falling across the high ground, so the hills across the west, that's where it's going to be really wet, but across central and eastern areas of the country, although you could see a few spots of rain this afternoon, it really won't amount to very much. we could see, occasionally, some brighter spells getting through across parts of eastern england, maybe parts of the south—west and maybe also for northern scotland. otherwise, it stays pretty cloudy and we will continue to see some strong gusts of wind, particularly around some of the welsh and english coasts. overnight, the winds will pick up in northern ireland, a band of rain working through here. it becomes quite wet and windy, actually, for most of us. this time, the heavy rain notjust confined to the high ground, it will become pretty extensive. but we are looking at a very mild night, with temperatures staying up to 15 or 16 degrees for some of us. tomorrow, strong winds, particularly across western areas of wales where, through the irish sea, gusts could reach around 60mph to 70mph. as this squally band

of rain extends eastwards, inland gusts reaching a good 40mph or 50mph — strong enough to bring down some tree branches, so we could see some localised disruption. it's a similar story too for scotland and northern ireland. windy across inland areas, but the strongest winds affecting the western coast and hills, where 60mph to 70mph gusts are possible and, again, could bring some localised disruption. our temperatures still on the mild side for the time of year and, as the rain stops, the winds will drop very, very quickly, so you will notice when that weather front pushes through. now, by thursday, the same area of low pressure is to the north of scotland. we've still got some strong winds affecting the north—west of the country, with some heavy outbreaks of rain here, but some heavy showers quite widely affecting england and wales. some of those are likely to be thundery at times. there is little overall difference in the weather picture into friday. again, it's still very windy across the north—west, with gales here. plenty of showers around, especially across north—western areas. some of those showers could have some hail and thunder mixed in. temperatures just edging down a few degrees. what about the weekend's

weather prospects? well, saturday is probably a drier and brighter day for many of us, but it looks like it could turn quite wet and windy again for sunday.
