in the greater public interest". in the past hour, it's also been revealed by lawyers representing victims of alleged abuse at the hands of the former harrods boss mohammed al fayed, that more than 60 people have come forward as part of a claim, with more to come. with me is our correspondent tom symonds. we heard testimony from some of the women who said they were forced to go through these medical examinations. indie forced to go through these medical examinations. we have been looking — medical examinations. we have been looking at _ medical examinations. we have been looking at all— medical examinations. we have been looking at all the - been looking at all the accounts of the woman said the bbc documentary came out. from there we started to look at the enablers, the people who made it happen for harrods and mohammed al fayed. what did the authorities who were made aware of this issue do about it? one of this issue do about it? one of these is the general medical council, who regulates doctors and says that they are fit to practice. i spoke to a woman who went for a job interview at

harrods, was asked to do a very intimate medical examination. it was fun she had an infection. she said that this be kept confidential, she was told yes, but she had a meeting with mohammed al fayed and seem to know all about it. she was askedif to know all about it. she was asked if she had dealt with the thing, if she had picked up a prescription. she went to the general medical council and said this had happened. the response she got from the gmc angular because in 2017 the council said it couldn't investigate because more than five years had passed. it would only be able to waive that if it was in the greater public interest and i felt this allegation was not serious enough to allow them to do that. they said they couldn't investigate mohammed al fayed anyway because he was not a doctor and they couldn't get to the bottom of why harrods was

doing these tests. i have spoken at length to this woman and she said it isjust spoken at length to this woman and she said it is just another example of a missed opportunity to hold to account those who enabled mohammed al fayed. thank you for bringing us up to date on that latest developments around contacts at harrods. you can still watch the bbc documentary which details some of the accounts of survivors on bbc iplayer. you are watching bbc news. russell findlay has been elected as the new scottish conservative leader, winning a majority of votes in the first round. addressing members immediately after his win was announced, mr findlay — who was elected to holyrood in 2021 after decades working as an investigative journalist — urged the party to come together following a bruising period. he pledged �*common sense' under his new leadership, and urged everyone to come together as one united team.

been done and we have had successes in some areas, however this is clearly not enough. we are listening to families affected by knife crime and acting on their feedback to see what more we can do with partners to stop the devastation caused by knife crime. our responsibility is to work together with partners to understand why children and young people think it is ok to carry weapons and take further action to stop this extremely dangerous behaviour. our work will not stop and any injury or death as a result of knife crime will ever be acceptable. we been listening there to the police giving the reaction after their sentencing of 213—year—olds after the merger of sean si, when he was 12.

they are believed to be the youngest convicted murderer since the murder ofjames since the murder of james bolger 30 since the murder ofjames bolger 30 years ago. the police out there listening to families and find out what more they can do to stop the impact of knife crime which they said it was so drastic. they said it was their responsibility to work together and finds white young people and finds white young people and children are carrying knives in this way. indie and children are carrying knives in this way. we 'ust heard there i knives in this way. we 'ust heard there a i knives in this way. we 'ust heard there a moment]- knives in this way. we just heard there a moment to l knives in this way. we just i heard there a moment to go knives in this way. we just - heard there a moment to go from west midlands police, describing what happen to shawn seesahai is horrifying and shocking. those comments followed the sentencing of shawn seesahai's killers who were 12 years old at the time of his killing last year, and are now 13. they are believed to be britain's youngest knife murders, the youngest murderers since the killing ofjames

bolger in 1993. in her comments when she was sentencing the boys a few months ago, the judge said that she started off by thinking about shawn seesahai and his family, that he was loved by his family, and the sentence will not come for them but it will bring the legal process to a close. in the next ten minutes we will hear more details about the reasoning behind the sentences that the boys have received. just to remind you, they were eight years and the six months that each boy have received, that each boy have received, thatis that each boy have received, that is a minimum timetable spent in custody before they are eligible for parole. if they are released they will be on licence for the rest of their lives, which means there will be under strict conditions, strict rules that they will have to follow for they will have to follow for the rest of their lives. the judge went on to say that they will have to live with the consequences of their actions for the rest of their lives and

she talked about the incident itself that took place on a playing field in wolverhampton in november last year, saying it lasted less than a minute, the two parties did not know each other. she said shawn seesahai did not deserve to be attacked, did not deserve to die. this has been a shocking incident and we have been hearing more details about the boys who are at the centre of what happened. one of them was known to children services. we heard yesterday when the sentence and began we heard more about his background, the fact that he had been exploited and groomed by older boys and young men in the community and that he had been encouraged to continue with his interests and possession of knives. the second child had never been in trouble with the police before and was not known to children's services. both of them have received the same sentence. that is a minimum of eight

years and six months in custody. we await to hear the reaction of shawn seesahai's family to two sentences later today. in a few minutes we will be hearing more detail about the reasons behind the sentencing by the judge. sentencing by the “udge. people will remember — sentencing by thejudge. people will remember this, _ sentencing by thejudge. people will remember this, it _ sentencing by thejudge. people will remember this, it was - sentencing by thejudge. people will remember this, it was a - will remember this, it was a shocking event. did you get any sense during these proceedings while shawn seesahai was picked on particularly? that while shawn seesahai was picked on particularly?— on particularly? that is arguably _ on particularly? that is arguably one _ on particularly? that is arguably one of- on particularly? that is arguably one of the - on particularly? that is. arguably one of the most shocking things about this entire case. it aside for the moment the age of the two defendants, 12 years old and sick time. why did they do it? it was described in court as a senseless murder. these two boys did not know shawn seesahai. the incident where an altercation occurred seem to be over trivial matter, a soldier brushing deliberately initiated by one of the boys. they have no reason to go after shawn

seesahai, they did not know him, he wasjust seesahai, they did not know him, he was just walking through this playing field when he was approached by the two boys. the senselessness of this has been arguably one of the most shocking things about it. yesterday in a statement read out on behalf of the family of shawn seesahai, they made reference to this, saying they were devastated but also confuse because it seems to have happen for no reason at all. that is arguably one of the most shocking things about this, they didn't know shawn seesahai and had no reason to go after him. as the judge pointed out, he did not deserve to be attacked, he did not deserve to die.— to be attacked, he did not deserve to die. the “udge ruled that the pairh deserve to die. the “udge ruled that the pair should]— deserve to die. the judge ruled that the pair should not - deserve to die. the judge ruled that the pair should not be - that the pair should not be named publicly. talk us through how it works with the court dealing with young people when they are sentence with such shocking crimes, tell us what normally happens and why this decision has been made. under

british law _ decision has been made. under british law children _ decision has been made. under british law children are - british law children are normally not named when it comes to their court proceedings such as this. on this occasion there was an application made by the media because of the shocking and unprecedented nature of this crime to name the boys, but the judge decided in a court order that that should not take place, that the boy should not be named. she talked about the possibility of their rehabilitation and the fact they were vulnerable and therefore they have not been named. what has been unusual about this case in comparison to most other cases we have covered is the way that the court was set up for the boys. these were 212—year—olds at the time of the killings. 13—year—olds now. each of them had a family member sat next to them during the proceedings, during the trial back injune, and during these two days of sentencing. each of them had a family member next to them and a court appointed member of

staff specially trained to explain in simple terms what was going on and to support the boys and theirfamily was going on and to support the boys and their family member through those proceedings. that wasn'tjust through those proceedings. that wasn't just on through those proceedings. that wasn'tjust on in order to make these proceedings less intimidating for them, but also to ensure that it was what is known as a safe verdict, a safe trial and to make sure that the sentencing could not be appealed. in addition to those processes, normally in a crown court trial at this you would expect to see the judge and the barristers again, that was not done on this occasion to ensure that the boys were not intimidated, but also to ensure that it was as fair trial as possible. those are some of their and methods we have seen over the days of the trial and these two days of the trial and these two days of the trial and these two days of sentencing to ensure

the boys understand what has gone on, and to ensure it is a safe trial as possible. if safe trial as possible. if you're justjoining us now, we you'rejustjoining us now, we are covering the story of the two boys who murdered shawn seesahai. they were 13, 12 at the time, and are sentenced to be detained at his majesty's pleasure. our correspondent, naff has joe pleasure. our correspondent, naff hasjoe howell is giving us some of the reaction there. this is reminiscent of the james bulger case, which is a long time ago back in 1993. the comment that is right. that is the closest president we can use when talking about the case of shawn seesahai. james bulger, he was two years old when he was killed in 1993 by two , when he was killed in 1993 by two ., ., two boys, who lured him away from his parents, _ two boys, who lured him away from his parents, from - two boys, who lured him away from his parents, from his - from his parents, from his family, and that case has been referenced during the course of the commentary around what happened here with shawn

seesahai. in this instance,
