other half of the bbc statement with reference to the junior members of sfaf s of staff who contributed to the internal inquiry into huw edwards. the bbc say, we appreciate the complexities and confidentiality of the work can be frustrating for those who have shared their experiences, but we are grateful to everyone who did so and we will always listen with great care to anyone who wants to raise concerns with us. thank you to all of you, thangam debbonaire, adam boulton, alan yentob, thank you for your time. i'm back tomorrow. see you then. live from london, this is bbc news. the former bbc news presenter, huw edwards, is given a six—month suspended prison sentence for accessing images of child abuse. junior doctors accept a 22% pay rise. the government says the deal is key for the nhs.

and the long awaited—hearing gets under way into manchester city's alleged breaches of premier league financial rules. hello and welcome to bbc news with me, lukwesa burak. huw edwards did not receive jail, but received a suspended jail sentence. huw edwards was spared jail — but received a six month suspended prison sentence on three charges — of obtaining indecent images of children — with one of the victims in the pictures aged between seven and nine. in all, 41 illegal images were sent to the former bbc news presenter — as with his lawyer told the court

edwards was profoundly sorry, — and that he recognised the repugnant nature of the images. the bbc says edwards betrayed not just the corporation, but the audience, who put their trust in him. his name is now on the sex offenders register, for the next seven years. lucy manning has our top story. huw edwards facing the camera — not his usual one in the bbc�*s studios, but the metropolitan police's after he was arrested. this his custody photo — a far cry from his smart on—screen image. mr edwards, do you apologise? mr edwards, do you apologise for your crimes? now a convicted sex offender, he came with a suitcase, prepared if his punishment was prison. the court heard disturbing and graphic details of his crime, descriptions of the videos of children, including one as young as seven that he looked at, and money that he gave to another sex offender who sent them to him. the images were discovered in the whatsapp messages of alex williams, who sent them to edwards. the police were unable to find the former�*s newsreader�*s phone the former newsreader�*s phone

that he'd used to look at them. edwards' responses to the 41 indecent images are particularly revealing. in one exchange, he describes the images williams has sent as "amazing". williams then says he can try and get more videos — "ifyoulike,13,14,15,16." months later, edwards says, "don't send underage," but in another exchange, when williams describes images he is offering as "young", edwards replies, "go on". as the judge sentenced him, he listened intently, emotional as the court heard about his mental health problems, his suicide risk, and an upbringing where his failure to get into oxford left him feeling like an outsider at the bbc. edwards, through his barrister, apologised. he said he wanted the court to know how profoundly sorry he was, that the images were repugnant and he recognised the hurt done to those in them, that he had betrayed the trust and faith of so many people and hurt and damaged his family.

but the police were clear that when edwards looked but the police clear that when edwards looked at the pictures and videos, exploited children were the victims here. behind every image is a vulnerable child that has been violated, that has been subject to abuse, and the continuing distribution of those images only goes to service that demand. tonight at ten, thousands of police... edwards was at the top of his career and the bbc — the man entrusted to tell the nation the queen had died. bbc television is broadcasting this special programme reporting the death of her majesty the queen... reporting the death of her majesty the queen. reading the news until he became it, initially suspended by the bbc last year, in the aftermath of separate allegations in the sun, that he'd paid a young, vulnerable man for explicit photos. the bbc, criticised for still paying

him more than £200,000 after they knew he'd been arrested, said, been arrested, said... it's very difficult to see any way that huw can come back. - i think you should never say never in this industry. - he certainly would never be employed as, you know, i the flagship presenter. for a major broadcaster. even those close to him had - one view of who huw edwards was, which is very different i from the one that's been revealed in this process. it is difficult to think of a more startling reversal of circumstances from respected newsreader to convicted criminal. he'll now go on the sex offenders register. as thejudge said, his reputation is in tatters — edwards breaking notjust the trust that viewers placed in him, but the law. lucy manning, bbc news.

our home and legal affairs correspondent, dominic casciani and katie razzal, our culture and media editor have more on the sentencing. but whether this is a lenient sentence, it looks like it's pretty down the line of what someone in huw edwards's position would expect. there's a there's a variety of sentences for these type of offences, and in theory the maximum is ten years. but that's only really reserved for the most severe producers of the images, not those who are the recipients. and the man who sent huw edwards the images, alex williams, he got 12 months suspended for two years to logically. huw edwards was likely to get less. the key thing is how the chief magistrate then dealt with the mitigating factors. so, he started with a one—year term.

he reduced that to reflect both the mitigation he'd received about huw edwards's ill health, but also his early guilty plea that took it down to six months. he then had to decide whether or not he posed a risk to the public, and he concluded there was no ongoing risk, so there's no need. so there's no need — this is the key thing here — there's no need to actually lock him up, and therefore he'd be better served in the community on suspended sentence with monitoring and and the sex offender treatment programme. so, he's not a free man in those terms. and he has to work through all of that in the months to come. i mean, i can only speak for myself, but you go intojournalism, to be honest, to behave decently, to shine a light on wrongdoing. so, hearing the graphic details of what happened to those children and huw edwards role in it has definitely shaken me to my core and i think shaken many people. he was the face of this programme, the man entrusted with significant moments in our nation's history, and we now know he was leading a double life, as the bbc chair has put it, he's the villain, he's betrayed us. but as you say, his actions have damaged the bbc's reputation and damaged trust. it's been very public

and very bruising. we must never forget the victims, the children whose lives have been changed forever by what's happened to them. but the bbc does have questions to answer about why they continue to pay his salary after his arrest and before he resigned, but also about talent management. we heard in court today that he was misusing prescription drugs, that he was drinking, he was meeting strangers online, ordered a time when he was presenting this programme. were red flags missed? were they ignored? these are all questions. and of course the bbc may hope to draw a line under this with this sentencing today. but is that is that right? junior doctors in england have accepted the government's offer of a 22% pay rise over two years — bringing an end to their 18—month dispute. the health secretary, wes streeting, said the agreement was crucial for the nhs. the deal we've reached for them is

what the conservatives have been prepared to offer last year and more for this year, and that has now been accepted. patients will also be relieved as well, because if you look at all the industrial action in the nhs in england since the end of 2022, a total of 1.5 million appointments and operations were cancelled, contributing to the backlog. now, as we heard, wes streeting says he's pleased at this outcome because he feels it paves the way for the reform plans he wants to put into place. the bma, though, say while they're pleased that their members have got this deal, which was much better than what was offered at the beginning, there is, quote, "a long way to go at the beginning, there is, quote, "a long way to go" in their pay campaign and it is not over. so we may well hear more of this in the next wage round next year. that was hugh pym. the suspect arrested after an apparent second assassination attempt in two months on the life of donald trump, has appeared in court in florida. ryan routh was detained, after secret service agents opened ryan routh was detained after secret service agents opened fire at a golf course where the former president was playing.

they'd spotted an assault rifle in bushes a few yards from mrtrump, who was unharmed. sarah smith has more from florida. driver, walk straight back! this is the moment officers ordered ryan routh out of his car, hands above his head, before he was swiftly handcuffed and arrested. the 58—year—old had spent over 12 hours waiting for donald trump. two years ago, he spoke to newsweek from ukraine about his attempt to recruit volunteers to fight invading russian forces. if the governments will not send their official military, then we civilians have to pick up the torch and make this thing happen. in one social media post, he said he was prepared to die in ukraine. in another, he mentioned voting for donald trump in 2016, but claims to have become disillusioned. donald trump was playing golf on his own course when secret service agents spotted a rifle muzzle

sticking out of the bushes. agents opened fire four orfive times, and the suspect fled the scene. the secret service said president biden had already ordered increased security for donald trump and that it was in place yesterday. and the agents' hypervigilance and the detailed swift action was textbook, and i commend them and our partners for an exemplary response in keeping former president trump safe. at the scene, two backpacks were recovered, along with a rifle and scope as well as a camera. all far too close to comfort to former president trump. joe biden says there is no place in america for political violence. i have always condemned political violence and always will in america. in america, we resolve our differences peacefully at the ballot differences peacefully at the ballot box, not at the end of a gun. america has suffered too many times the tragedy of an assassin's bullet.

take a look at what happened... gunshots. since the first assassination attempt against mr trump two months ago, when he was slightly injured was killed, rhere have been concerns about whether he is getting enough protection. he said today the suspect... in last week's presidential debate, mr trump appeared to blame democrats for the first attempt on his life. i probably took a bullet to the head because of the things i that they say about me. they talk about democracy, i'm a threat to democracy. i they're the threat to democracy... vice president kamala harris said in a statement... ryan routh appeared in court this morning charged with firearms offences, and he will be held in custody

with illegal possession of a firearm, and he will be held in custody until a detention hearing next week. sarah smith, bbc news, west palm beach, florida. many are wondering why security around the former president wasn't tighter — why the entire golf course where he was playing, hadn't been cordoned off. as we just heard, security for presidential candidates, falls short of the attention paid to sitting presidents, by the secret service. here's ros atkins. the trump international golf club spreads across 330 acres, and donald trump plays there regularly. located in west palm beach in florida, the course is a ten—minute drive from his home at mar—a—lago. the club's perimeter is more than three miles long. this is one part of it, right by a public road. there's a chain—link fence. beyond that, you can easily see the course. and this was the route donald trump was taking during his round. he'd reached hole five. according to police, as the former president played, secret service agents walked one hole ahead, as is standard. and we're told those agents spotted

a rifle sticking out of the fence. bbc verify has concluded it was somewhere in this area, which was later cordoned off. police say donald trump was between 300 and 500 yards away, within range of the rifle. these events in florida happened while donald trump's safety during this election campaign was already under greater scrutiny because of a major security failure in july. at a rally in pennsylvania, a gunman shot at trump, hitting his ear and killing a bystander. the head of the secret service resigned days later. the secret service said they had increased the amount of assets protecting donald trump, but mr trump isn't president, and that's a factor. at this level that he is at right now, he's not the sitting president. if he was, we would have had this entire golf course surrounded. but because he's not, security is limited to the areas that the secret service deems possible. this raises questions

about what is possible, and if the candidates in this presidential election can be kept safe, especially in locations they are known to visit frequently. they're known to visit frequently. and while americans seek answers, the authorities say the threat level remains high. in america, a public hearing into the titan submersible disaster, has revealed the final text messages sent by those on board — as they headed towards the wreck of the titanic. 0ne read, "all good here" — before the craft imploded and killed all on board. the communications were between the sub and the mother the sub and the mother ship on the surface, as titan made its descent in june last year. the hearings, being held by the us coast guard, will assess what went wrong and whether the accident could have been prevented. here's rebecca morelle.

those who died were british explorer hamish and ocean gate ceo stockton russia. i would like to ask everyone present to stand for a moment of silence... now a public hearing has started to establish exactly what went wrong. this is a full—scale model of ocean gate's titan. we've heard about previous expeditions. it went to the titanic wreck site 13 times in 2021 and 2022, and during those years, there were 118 things that went wrong with the sub. including the front dome falling off when it was

brought out of the sea, its thrusters failing at 3500 metres and its batteries dying on one dive. we also learns a timeline of its final dive in the last few text messages sent between the sub and the surface. titan began its dive at 9.14 in surface. titan began its dive at 9.111 in the morning local time. after that, communications were patchy. about an hour into the dive, titan sent a message. at 10.25, it said it was to the southeast of the titanic bowel. —— vow. titan said it had dropped two mates. —— bow. there's nothing to suggest that the passengers on board had any idea

that anything was wrong. the meeting heard where stockton rushed in one independent safety assessment. stockton because my first issue was the time _ stockton because my first issue was the time and cost. in his word, it stitles— the time and cost. in his word, it stifles innovation. i said, you know. — stifles innovation. i said, you know. you _ stifles innovation. i said, you know, you can still be innovative. that _ know, you can still be innovative. that hearings into the disaster continue for two more weeks. rebecca morelle, bbc news. the liberal democrat leader, sir ed davey, has called forfurther spending on health and social care, as well as reforms to the nhs. he's been speaking to chris mason at the lib dem conference in brighton. there is a sunny and bright mood among liberal democrats. little wonder — they now have a record—breaking 72 mps and a leader standing tall. we got our best ever results... sir ed davey will tell anyone who'll listen he wants to focus on the nhs and social care. do you accept, as the government

says, that the nhs is broken? broadly, yes, i mean, in so many parts of the country, it's under real stress and it has to have investment and reform. he says one of the reasons the nhs is broken is because of, as he puts it, austerity. do you take responsibility for that? you were in government, you were in cabinet. yeah, i mean, if you look at the nhs over decades, you'll find several things, first of all the underinvestment in the health infrastructure. you'll also see a history of failed reorganisations, of failed reorganisations — it's littered with that. lord darzi's saying there was a lack of funding and a massive lord darzi's saying there was a lack of funding and a massive botched reorganisation on your watch. we fought the conservatives to make sure there was more money going in.

i think, without us, the problems would have been worse. daft stunts in front of the cameras was ed davey�*s big thing at the election. today, bubbly on a monday morning can't be bad. his mps now represent some of the richest parts of the country. the monday club! the monday group! inheritance tax — would you put that up? i think reforming it would mean people who are on relatively modest levels of inheritance... like what? a lot of people's homes in many areas of the country are valuable, and they end up being clobbered by inheritance tax, and i think that's unfair. wouldn't the reality of that be that those who've got the snazzy accountants wouldn't pay it anyway, and those who are currently paying it would stop playing it? that would be a revenue stream gone. we've allowed snazzy accountants, to use your phrase, to do enable people to do a lot of tax planning and to avoid it, and we've got to stop that. oh, and with a row about a labour donor playing for the prime minister and his wife's clothes... do you pay for your own suits?

the vast majority, but if you look at... oh, not all of them? a few years ago, someone was kind enough to pay a suit for me, and it's on my record. what about that one? this one, i think i paid for this one! for now, ed davey is determined to enjoy his recent success. the last decade or so has brought the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. chris mason, bbc news, in brighton. they've been the premier league's powerhouse team for more than a decade. but now, manchester city is facing the biggest disciplinary case in the history of english football. an independent commission hearing into alleged breaches of premier league financial rules kicked off today, with the club facing 115 charges. they deny any wrongdoing, but if found guilty, possible sanctions include a fine, points deduction or even relegation. here's dan roan. manchester city champions again. they've achieved unprecedented domination of english football. manchester city this year becoming the first club ever to win

four top flight titles in a row. but off the pitch, the champions have also been fighting a catalogue of premier league charges over alleged financial rule breaches. are you confident? this morning lord pannick kc, who is heading up city's legal team, arrived for the start of an independent commission hearing into the case in central london. the club denies wrongdoing and on friday, the manager addressed the issue. we believe we have not done anything wrong, so we go to the independent panel and we are going to wait. the 115 charges relate to 1a seasons after city's abu dhabi takeover in 2008 transformed it into one of the richest clubs in the world. they include 5a counts of not providing accurate financial information, 1a counts of not providing full details for manager and player payments, 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. we have a big, thick rule book and part of any sporting competition is a commitment, a central commitment, to uphold those rules. and whilst it does create difficulties, there is no happy alternative to enforcing rules. 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. well, i think it would be a sporting disaster if both clubs are found guilty in the end because pep guardiola and the club have done a wonderful thing and the football they play and what they've produced is amazing. manchester city say they have a body of irrefutable evidence to support their case, but with the hearing set to last ten weeks,

they and their fans now face a nervous wait. dan roan, bbc news, at the etihad stadium. tito jackson, one of the original members of 'the jackson 5�* pop group and brother of the late michaeljackson, has died at the age of 70. as part of the iconic band, he performed on their biggest hits, including 'abc,�* — 'the love you save' — and 'i want you back.�* the group, which formed in 1964, sold more than 150 million records. former 'jackson 5�* drummer, jonathan moffett, paid tribute on social media, saying he was sending love and prayers to the entire jackson family. and it's weather time with chris. hello. on monday, we had an area of high pressure establish itself across the uk — and with that came plenty of sunshine. for example, here in capel curig, and just to the south in ceredigion, we had the day's highest temperature

— up to 22 degrees in the warmest spots. now, you'll notice a bit more in the way of clouds towards the north west, and indeed, over the next few hours could see some splashes of rain work into shetland for a time. now, you'll notice a bit more in the way of clouds towards the north west, and indeed, over the next few hours could see some splashes of rain work into shetland for a time. quite breezy conditions here. watch out for a few mist and fog patches over the next few hours forming across parts of north west england, wales, the west midlands and southwest england, too. visibility could drop down to about 100m in the densest of those fog patches. so, it's quite a chilly start to the day, with temperatures down at around five degrees in the coldest spots. the high pressure, though, is here to stay for the next few days. now, starting off on tuesday, a bit of rain clearing away from shetland, might see a few patches of cloud across east anglia first thing, but it should brighten up with some sunshine here, and any mist and fog patches clearing to reveal another beautiful day. plenty of autumn sunshine and those temperatures very similar to those on monday — high teens to low 20s. one of the warmest spots could end up being northern scotland, with highs here of 22, western counties of western counties of northern ireland — 21.

middle parts of the week, perhaps a bit more in the way of cloud just to start off across parts of england, east wales that will thin and break with time, and there will be more of a breeze blowing for east anglia in the southeast of england. quite breezy for the far north of scotland, too, but otherwise, it's another beautiful day. after a chilly morning, there'll be loads more sunshine. temperatures 23 there for northern scotland, a 2k in southeast england. these temperatures are quite a bit above average for this time of the year. it's a case of spot the difference really, for thursday. again a few mist and fog patches, a few patches of cloud initially, but loads and loads of sunshine to come as we go on through the afternoon. top temperatures — 2a again around london, a 22 for western scotland, and we're still around 20 degrees or so for western counties of northern ireland. it will feel warm in that september sunshine. we do, however, start to see some signs of a change in the pattern through friday and into the weekend as low pressure starts to threaten from the south. this looks quite likely to bring us some heavy, thundery showers or some longer spells of rain across england and wales. but at this stage, it looks like scotland and northern ireland, probably northern england,

should stay fine well into the weekend. following the death of american actorjames earljones, another chance to see stephen sackur�*s hardtalk interview of 2011 with the man whose voice was known the world over as that of star wars' villain darth vader. hardtalk has come to the wyndham's theatre in london's west end to meet one of america's most respected actors — james earljones. his is an extraordinary story. born into rural poverty in mississippi in the era of segregation, he has just been awarded an honorary oscar for a lifetime of cinematic achievement. these days, black american success onstage and screen is not unusual.

but how hard has the journey been, and has america really left
