12:00 pm
williams, hundreds of pounds in gifts and money for the images. he is said to have describe some of the images is amazing. it has been accepted by the crown that edwards had suffered from depression and mental health issues. philip evans casey told the court that first wished to apologise and he is profoundly sorry. outside, you can see that a large number of camera operators and photographers are waiting for this case to conclude. the chief magistrate retired to consider the sentencing and drafters remarks about ten minutes ago, saying he would be back at about 12:30pm, so in about half an hour. we had further about the nature of the offences, with huw edwards
12:01 pm
having admitted injuly offences, with huw edwards having admitted in july that offences, with huw edwards having admitted injuly that he had received 41 images of child abuse which were sent to him on whatsapp. the estimated age of the children in most of the pictures was between 13 and 15, but one was aged between seven and nine. we will keep an eye on what is happening there. a number of my colleagues inside the building and out are keeping us abreast of what is happening in this case. let's see if we can speak to our senior uk correspondent, sima kotecha, who has been following the live reporting by our colleagues who are inside the court room. cameras are not allowed inside, of course, but they are relaying that information to us outside. we are expecting to hear the sentence and the associated remarks in under half an hour if things go to plan. that's
12:02 pm
right. we've already heard from the prosecution and the defence in court, both speaking about huw edwards's mental health. the magistrate has now left the court to have a think about the sentencing in the sentencing remarks, so huw edwards has also exited the court with his legal team, and we are told that the magistrate should be backin that the magistrate should be back in the court at around 12:30pm with his decision. over the last 20 minutes or so, we have heard the defence say that mr edwards wishes to apologise. he wishes the court to know how profoundly sorry he is. he said he recognises the repugnant nature of such images and the heart it has done to those who appear in such images. for his part in that, he said he apologises sincerely and he makes it clear that he has the utmost regret. this is significant because it puts forward how remorseful mr edwards is for his crimes, and
12:03 pm
his barrister is using that as a mitigating factor. we have heard that he has got mental health problems. we have heard health problems. we have heard he has physical health problems. and we have also heard that he has been struggling for the last few years. in fact, struggling for the last few years. infact, his struggling for the last few years. in fact, his mental health battle has been very much in the public domain. he spoke about it while he was anchoring the ten o'clock news, and also spoke about his love for boxing as a way of dealing with his mental health problems. this is significant as well because we have got some timings conveyed in court in regard to when his troubles really started over the last few years. his barrister says the offending can be linked to the offending can be linked to the grave situation of mr redwoods's mental health. the key period of offending, he said, was in late 2020, after his mental health had significantly deteriorated. he had begun receiving treatment for mental ill health in 2019, and that was inevitably interrupted by the pandemic in
12:04 pm
2020. we also know that his barrister was challenging whether his crime needs to be subjected to a sexual harm prevention order. he emphasised in court that edwards' previous good character and the fact that he has not offended since the period in question was a strong mitigating factor. as i said, his barrister has put forward his argument. the prosecution has put forward theirs. we know that a custodial sentence is a possibility. if we look at the sentencing guidelines, we know that the magistrate is not sending this court to the crown court, so whatever happens, the sentence cannot exceed 12 months in prison, because that is as far as a magistrate can go. it could also be a suspended sentence. we know that alex williams, the man who sent him hundreds of images, was given a suspended sentence for 12 months. it could also be a community order, or sending
12:05 pm
edwards on a prevention order, a sex offender course, to help him become a different person, if you like, after the crimes that he has committed. there has also been some talk about concerns about him reoffending, and that is something that the prosecution said it is very worried about. a probation report said that there was a medium risk of him reoffending, but that is something his defence lawyers are saying is actually not true. they are saying that their experts are saying that their experts are saying that their experts are saying that he has a very low risk of reoffending, so we should find out what the sentence will be at around 12:30pm. obviously, the magistrate will deliver some sentencing remarks to begin with and then deliver his sentence. sima, thank you for the moment. we will be back there when that sentence is handed down. in the us, police
12:06 pm
are investigating a man accused of trying to assassinate donald trump. the former president has said he is safe and well what are —— after what the fbi described as a second apparent assassination attempt against them. a secret service agent noticed a rifle poking out of bushes at the florida golf course where he was playing. the subject fled in a car and was later arrested. police have searched his home in north carolina. joe biden and 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. after an assassination attempt injuly. colleagues at bbc verify have spent the last few hours trying to find out more about the suspect in the case. he spoke to a journalist in kyiv in 2022, and the bbc has access this footage. he was a little of what he said. we
12:07 pm
access this footage. he was a little of what he said.- little of what he said. we are keein: little of what he said. we are keeping a — little of what he said. we are keeping a count _ little of what he said. we are keeping a count of— little of what he said. we are keeping a count of all- little of what he said. we are keeping a count of all the - keeping a count of all the civilians that are here fighting that have come from their own countries. they have sold everything they owned, everything, to come here and support ukrainians. it is truly heroic, what these kids and adults have done as far as getting here on their own dime and spending their own money to come here and fight with the ukrainians, but it is only a small percentage. if we have 5000 here against 5 million adults, it is nothing, a drop in the bucket. we need 100,000 people here fighting. the square should be filled with people from every country, and only 50 countries are represented. we have 190 countries, so we are missing 140, countries, so we are missing 1110, which is unacceptable. every civilian from every country needs to come here. this is an indictment. if you
12:08 pm
are not here and you are sitting on your couch watching tv, you are not doing the right thing. this is about caring and kindness and loving and altruism and everything that is goodin altruism and everything that is good in the world. we need to show putin that generosity is what runs this world, and not cruelty and terrorism. this is an instrumental moment. we cannot let the interest in this war drop off to nothing and leave the ukrainians stranded and leave me stranded here for the next ten years. it cannot happen. we have got to get better. ., . better. the freelance journalist _ better. the freelance journalist who - better. the freelance - journalist who interviewed the man in that clip, we spoke to him. . , , ., him. he was in the square in k iv, him. he was in the square in kyiv. one — him. he was in the square in kyiv. one of _ him. he was in the square in kyiv, one of the _ him. he was in the square in kyiv, one of the most - him. he was in the square in | kyiv, one of the most famous landmarks of the capital city of ukraine, and i was talking to people on the other that monument, the one you so in the background of the video, with all the flags on it, and i was
12:09 pm
talking with some passers by and i think you overheard me mentioning that i was a journalist, so he asked me straight up if i could record his message, or his appeal to the world, if you will. i didn't see much interest in it is a story, in the sense that it was just a lone volunteer sitting in the middle of the capital, already four months into the full scale invasion. but i thought i would be doing him a favour because the man was already, as you can see in the video, tearful. i thought he was a bit kooky, some might say. but well—meaning. we sat down and he introduced himself. he said he was from hawaii but he had sold most of his possessions to come to ukraine, that he was refused entry into the international legion because he was considered too old. he told me he was in his
12:10 pm
late 50s at the time. and he introduced himself as a recruit for the international legion. you can see that he has this message with a phone number. then he went into this kind of rant. there is a minute and a half that you have shown, but the whole thing lasted for about six minutes, and it is him, uninterrupted, kind of going on this rant about how the world is not doing enough, about how countries are not doing enough to help ukraine, and generally he seemed very emotional. he mentioned his own personal situation a number of times, meaning that he had sold most of his possessions, travelled halfway across the world to come to ukraine, and that basically we were not doing enough to help the country that was being invaded and is still being invaded by russia. but i found it interesting that, as far as i can recall, and in the footage you have shown, it was a call to action, not so much for the
12:11 pm
governments but to the people, meaning he was saying in the video that you have shown that people should take matters into their own hands, basically come over to ukraine and fight, meaning that people should get off the couch, take up a rifle and go and fight. i find off the couch, take up a rifle and go and fight. ifind it deeply ironic that at the end of the video, if the alleged gunman is indeed the man in this video and he was indeed trying to murderformer president trump, and that he didn't think the world should be ruled by violence and terrorism that he attributed to president putin, would be deeply ironic, given the action he undertook. fix, deeply ironic, given the action he undertook.— deeply ironic, given the action he undertook. a reminder that we have a _ he undertook. a reminder that we have a live _ he undertook. a reminder that we have a live page _ he undertook. a reminder that we have a live page running i we have a live page running online with the latest from the united states about what we know about this apparent assassination attempt against donald trump. you can follow that on the bbc news website and on ourapp.
12:12 pm
and on our app. circular stunner and on ourapp. circular stunner is in italy for talks with the italian prime minister. giorgia meloni. he has had a breakfast meeting with business leaders already. he told them that the relationship between the uk there has been a 60% drop in arrivals to italy by sea. circular starmer also visited and moved gration centre and met business leaders at the ambassador's residency. he told them that the relationship between the uk and it it was a good, strong historic one, and that they were close allies. prime minister, a second assassination attempt on donald trump last night — how did you feel when you heard the news of? i feel when you heard the news of? ., , feel when you heard the news of? . , , ., _ of? i was very worried by the

whether it is on hospital buildings, to repairthem, or for more gps and cutting waiting lists in that way, but i think that was, as i say, quite a moment for daisy cooper. she also went on to talk about how she had been warned by the leader, ed davey, when she took on the role in 2020, that the party itself was in survival mode, just 70,000 votes, he said, between the party continuing to exist and extinction, having no mps at all. of extinction, having no mps at all. of course, they have turned that around in the past year now, with 72 mps that they have brought to this conference and who are celebrating. but i think this really was a moment where the focus on health and social care that has been there throughout the past few days and will no doubt continue took on a very personal spotlight and perhaps cut through to people in a way that it felt much more personal and more real. ., ., much more personal and more real. . . ., ~ much more personal and more real. . . . ~' , ., , real. hannah, thank you very much. hannah _ real. hannah, thank you very much. hannah miller, - real. hannah, thank you very much. hannah miller, our. much. hannah miller, our political correspondent, at the

lib dems conference in brighton. public hearings into the titan submersible disaster are set to begin today. the submarine, owned by the us company ocean gate, was taking passengers down to the wreck of the titanic when it exploded, killing all five people on board. i was so intent —— our science editor has been taking a look at some of the questions surrounding their deaths. it was the sub that promised a new way to explore the deep ocean, taking paying passengers to see the titanic, 3800 metres down, but ocean gate's titan sub suffered a catastrophic failure, killing all five people on board. now a public hearing will investigate the disaster, and there are key questions that remain. that the passengers have any warning that something was going wrong? the people on board the titan sub were british explorer hamish harding... the
12:21 pm
communications log between the sub on the surface could show if there were any signs titan was failing, or if those on board new nothing before the instantaneous implosion, but deep sea experts have been warning about the subs safety for years, warning about the subs safety foryears, including warning about the subs safety for years, including this man, who has been to the ocean's deepest point. his friend hamish harding joined him on a dive to the mariana trench. victor told hamish how dangerous he thought the ocean gate sub was. i dangerous he thought the ocean gate sub was. ltrr;r dangerous he thought the ocean gate sub was-— gate sub was. i try to warn him from going _ gate sub was. i try to warn him from going on _ gate sub was. i try to warn him from going on the _ gate sub was. i try to warn him from going on the titan, - gate sub was. i try to warn him from going on the titan, evenl from going on the titan, even had a conversation before he went and told him in no uncertain terms that he should not get in this submersible. i'll never forget, he told not get in this submersible. i'll neverforget, he told me he thought it was safe enough. and i said, hamish, i don't know what else i can say after that. i wouldn't go if i were you. he really wanted to see the titanic. ads, you. he really wanted to see the titanic.— you. he really wanted to see the titanic. a crucial question is which part _ the titanic. a crucial question is which part of— the titanic. a crucial question is which part of the _ is which part of the submersible failed. this is a full—sized model of the titan

sub. there were significant issues with different parts of its design. concerns have been raised about its viewport and whether it could cope with the pressure at the bottom of the atlantic. the central area by the passengers were is called the passengers were is called the pressure hull. the effects of the immense forces are normally evenly spread, but this was cylindrical to fit more people inside. this section was made from carbon fibre, a material that is unpredictable that depth and would have been weakened by every previous dive the sub had made. then there were other titanium end rings which connect to different parts of the sub together, but these junctions between metal and carbon fibre could have created weak points. carbon fibre could have created weak points-— weak points. roger that, i will be venting _ weak points. roger that, i will be venting now. _ weak points. roger that, i will be venting now. patrick- weak points. roger that, i will be venting now. patrick is - be venting now. patrick is leadin: be venting now. patrick is leading manufacturer - be venting now. patrick is leading manufacturer of l leading manufacturer of submarines. he said the submarines. he said the submarine maker had an unblemished record over 50 years. unblemished record over 50 ears. . .,

12:26 pm
and 35 counts of failure to cooperate with the premier league's investigation. city have long denied allegations they artificially inflated sponsorship revenue by channelling investment from their owner via abu dhabi —based companies to help it get round rules that limit spending on players. last month the man in charge of the premier league told me a case that had been dragging on for years was finally nearing a conclusion. it is time now, i think, for it to resolve itself stop it has been going on for a number of years and i think it is self—evident that the case needs to be heard and answered. everton were hit with points deductions for breaching financial rules last season, and city could be looking at a similar punishment or even expulsion from the league if found guilty of the most serious charges. city say they have irrefutable evidence to support their case, but with a hearing set to last ten weeks before a period of deliberation, the club and its fans face a nervous wait. time for a look at the weather with matt taylor.
