begun receiving said he had begun receiving treatment for mental health in 2019 and that was interrupted by the pandemic. the expert evidence was put forward and it said that she edwards had a low risk of reoffending. we know that the mitigation has ended, so his barrister has finished putting his case forward for a lesser sentence. the prosecution talked about his mental health but also talked about a probation report that said he was a medium risk of reoffending. not the magistrate will consider what both sides have said. we know that the magistrate is dealing with the case himself. there was a possibility of being sent to the crown court earlier if he felt that he didn't have sufficient sentencing powers, but he said he will deal with it, meaning that the sentence can be longer than 12 months in prison, or it could even be less than that. it may not get

a prison sentence at all, it may at community order or he could be sent on the sex offenders programme, or he could be given a suspended sentence. we knew the man who sentence. we knew the man who sent him the explicit images was given a 12 month suspended sentence. we could hearfairly soon as to what his fate is. in soon as to what his fate is. in terms of watching this unfold, it has been enlightening to hear about this in real time what is happening inside the courtroom via our colleagues. it gives you an idea of the kind of factors that have to go into that consideration by the chief magistrate.— chief magistrate. that's right and the chief _ chief magistrate. that's right and the chief magistrate - chief magistrate. that's right and the chief magistrate in l and the chief magistrate in july when i was here previously asked for a lot of information between now and then, more information on his health, on him as a person, about his

motivation, all of that will be looked at and assessed so that he can come to his sentencing. we have just heard that the chief magistrate is about to retire to draft his sentencing remarks. he says that he will be back at around 1230, so in around a0 minutes. he asked huw edawrds to stand and explained what their german days. he said that if he wants to run the gauntlet he would be free to get a coffee. you edwards has now left the dock the chief magistrate has now left the court to consider his remarks and considered this sentence for huw edawrds which we should hearin for huw edawrds which we should hear in about the next a0 minutes or so. 50 hear in about the next 40 minutes or so.— minutes or so. so we are exnecting _ minutes or so. so we are expeding to _ minutes or so. so we are expecting to hear- minutes or so. so we are expecting to hear at - minutes or so. so we are l expecting to hear at about minutes or so. so we are - expecting to hear at about 1230 when the chief magistrate comes

back with that decision. we are joined by a partner in a law firm that specialises in these child sexual abuse claims. we were talking about the assessments of the likelihood if you edwards reoffending, having a relapse and what might need to happen in terms of rehabilitation to ensure he does not do this again. how well resourced is that rehabilitation?- well resourced is that rehabilitation? �*, , rehabilitation? it's a simple auestion rehabilitation? it's a simple question without _ rehabilitation? it's a simple question without an - rehabilitation? it's a simple question without an easy i question without an easy answer, to be frank. again, a lot of it comes down to funding, to also checking in and the one issue with abusive survivors face significant hurdles to expose their abuse.

it takes people on average 30 years to disclose and that means that if any abuse has taken place it may not be reported for a number of years or decades. therefore, the success rate of rehabilitation is difficult to assess. and to monitor. it comes down to the individuals, it comes down to someone like huw edawrds has talked about his physical and mental health, and also his no changing position. he will not be earning significant sums as a newsreader. he will have a depleted family and social field to post his conviction and that will also affect matters. the next six months, 12 months, five years are going to be very difficult for him. in relation to rehabilitation,

those needs will change over that period of time. that is the concern about rehabilitation, it is to remain not committing these offences and making sure it is monitored. it is not a perfect system. we can't monitor him 20 a7. we don't have the capacity to do that, so there is the risk of future abuse, it will never be 0%, but the hope is this will rehabilitate huw edawrds and he will never commit these offences again. that is the hope, the wish. we will keep an — that is the hope, the wish. we will keep an eye on what is happening at westminster magistrates�* court. we are likely to find out the for huw edawrds is in just

likely to find out the for huw edawrds is injust under a0 minutes. we will go back when we hear anything. donald trump is said that he is safe and well after what the fbi described as a second apparent assassination attempt against him. a secret service agent spotted an assault rifle poking out of bushes on the former president�*s florida golf course within several hundred metres of where he was playing. the agent opened fire. the suspect, who fled in a car, was later arrested. police have searched his home in north carolina. joe biden and his vice president, kamala harris, both expressed relief that mr trump had not been hurt. security had been tightened around the republican presidential election candidate after an assassination attempt in july. our report by the bbc�*s graham satchell wraps up all the key developments. it's blocked. they blocked it off. the i—95 in florida, and pictures taken by a passing motorist show a large number of police surrounding a vehicle. law enforcement officers have just detained a man suspected of attempting to assassinate donald trump.

he was driving the black car seen here at the side of the road. the former president was playing golf on his own course when a number of gunshots were heard. a secret service agent had spotted a rifle being pointed from bushes at the edge of the course. they have an agent thatjumps one hole ahead of time to where the president was at, and he was able to spot this rifle barrel sticking out of the fence and immediately engage that individual, at which time the individual took off. the police recovered what they say is an ak a7 style rifle with a scope, two backpacks containing ceramic tiles, and a gopro camera. we are not sure right now if the individual was able to take a shot at our agents, but for sure our agents were able to engage with the subject. and, you know, that's a little bit old, that chart... - it is just a matter of weeks since the last assassination attempt on donald trump happened. gunfire.

he was shot and injured at a campaign rally in pennsylvania. just moments later, he was on his feet and shouting, "fight, fight," to the crowd. after this latest attempt, the former president put out a brief statement. "there were gunshots in my vicinity," he said, "but before rumours start spiralling out of control, i wanted you to hear this first. i am safe and well. nothing will slow me down. i will never surrender." vice president kamala harris said, "i�*ve been briefed on reports of gunshots fired near former president trump and his property in florida. i am glad he is safe. violence has no place in america." police have now raided the former home of the suspect in this case. he�*s been named by american media as 58—year—old ryan routh. on social media, routh claims

to have fought against russian forces in ukraine. donald trump left his golf course under heavy security a few hours after the thwarted attack. there will be questions about how a man with a rifle was able to get so close to the former president, but donald trump has praised the secret service for their response and says he will continue to campaign this week. graham satchell, bbc news. let�*s remind you of what is happening at westminster�*s magistrates�* court. the chief magistrate is withdrawing to drop his sentencing guidelines for huw edawrds. he told huw edawrds before retiring he was free to run the

gauntlet if he wanted to get a coffee. huw edawrds left the dock and thank the security officers as they held the door open for him. we are waiting for 35 minutes or so until we hear the sentence that huw edawrds will serve. hello. like today, for the rest of this week there�*ll be a few issues with fog in the morning forsome, different areas on different days. but the general story is one which is much drier, sunnier and also warmer than last week. high pressure firmly in charge. close to us, though, just across eastern europe, we�*ve still got cloud rolling around from the remnants of storm boris. more rain to come across austria, the czech republic through today and early tomorrow. but notice clearer skies furtherwest, high pressure is in charge. it�*s that which led to the fog forming this morning. gone for this

afternoon, though, lots of sunshine around. the cloud in the english channel continues to break up. a bit more cloud, though, to north and west of scotland, northern ireland. for most, high based cloud turning that sunshine a bit hazy, but it will thicken up into the western isles and the far west of northern ireland later. breezy to the northwest and southeast, but with light winds elsewhere. pleasant in the sunshine, 16 to 21, around where we should be for this stage in september. now, tonight, more in the way of thicker cloud in the north of scotland, orkney, shetland, also the western isles, patchy rain. clearer skies elsewhere will lead to some fog patches, again, vale of york, southern scotland most pronea and it�*s here where temperatures will drop the furthest, mid single figures into tomorrow morning. like this morning, though, fog will take a while to shift but it will be gone by mid to late morning. the cloud across northern scotland, giving some early rain in shetland, will actually start to thin and break a bit more through the afternoon. a tiny bit more cloud through east anglia and the south east with more breeze, but, overall, a sunny and even warmer day tomorrow. temperatures in parts of northern scotland and the west of northern ireland 21 or 22 celsius. it�*s this area of high pressure keeping things dry and reasonably sunny. it nudges a little bit

further northwards as we go through the middle part of the week, and that means to the south of the uk, slightly more breeze through the second half of the week, and that will bring a bit more in the way of cloud, at times, fairly well broken, still some good sunny spells. the best of the sunshine, though, further north and with a southerly breeze, some of the highest temperatures could be around northern scotland, 2a maybe 25 celsius possible, 2a with slightly increased humidity towards the south of england and wales too. that area of high pressure still there or thereabouts through the end of the week, but low pressure starts to nose its way in from the bay of biscay and france. so whilst we�*ve got lots of sunshine through much of this week, by the end of the week and weekend, whilst it still stays warm in some sunny spells, there is a greater chance, particularly for england and wales, of a few showers. take care.

it�*s it's 12 it�*s 12 p. this is bbc news. the former bbc presenter, huw edwards, is expected to be sentenced on the next hour after he admitted making indecent photographs of children. the 63—year—old has been appearing for a hearing at westminster magistrates�* court. huw edwards was sent the pictures on whatsapp buy up convicted paedophile. his lawyer has told the court that edwards is profoundly sorry and recognises the repugnant nature of the images. these are the pictures of huw edwards arriving for that hearing. the court has heard that edwards paid another man, alex
