if they're paying £1 million out and getting everybody to sign this order — in other words, £1 million hush fund and a gagging order. we've investigated the issues raised by george and others impacted by the incinerator and put the response of the operator viridor under the spotlight. we've managed to get hold of copies of the agreement that have been sent to residents of runcorn, and it's quite clear that they face strong penalties if they speak about it. it says here that under no circumstances should you discuss the contents of any of these documents with any third party or member of the press outside your own immediate household. clear that they face strong penalties if they speak about it. it says here that under no circumstances should you discuss the contents of any of these documents with any viridor said it won't make any comment in relation to the payout and the non—disclosure agreement.

in most incinerator towns like runcorn, money is tight. our research shows that waste is ten times more likely to be burned in the most deprived areas of the uk compared to the best—off neighbourhoods. eddie thompson runs seven food banks here in the town. so that's seven public—facing distribution centres open every single day and they're used every single day. the incinerator has been here nearly a decade now. how has that impacted the community? i do feel as though, because it is looked at as a dumping ground, mentally, people feel as though, in some cases, they're worthless. our investigation in runcorn has unveiled details of the biggest settlement to date involving local residents and incinerator operators. but with concerns growing over both the number and the environmental impacts of energy from waste sites in the uk, it's unlikely to be the last. unfortunately, we've got big business here involved. bully—boy businesses. and that's what they are.

unfortunately, they're the bully and that's what they're proving to be. all they think now — we'll pay this undisclosed or this million—pound payout and the problem will go away. the problem is still here, the problem is still here. matt mcgrath, bbc news, runcorn. if you're in the uk, you can watch more on this story in the nightmare next door, available on bbc iplayer, now. retailers are warning that organised gangs are becoming more sophisticated and are behind the recent rise in shoplifting. a bbc investigation has gained exclusive access to the work of an organisation that tracks these criminals, for some of these criminals, for some of the biggest retailers in the country. jim connolly reports. marauding gangs, violent tactics. but the reality is

premier league club chelsea to victory in the champions league final in 2021. let fosamax be to —— let's go to berlin. what is the reaction in germany to this appointment for thomas tuchel and your reaction? yes, on the one _ tuchel and your reaction? yes, on the one hand, _ tuchel and your reaction? yes, on the one hand, it— tuchel and your reaction? yes, on the one hand, it was - tuchel and your reaction? yes, on the one hand, it was not i tuchel and your reaction? yes, | on the one hand, it was not the biggest surprise. it has not been a big surprise that thomas tuchel has gone back to england because he hinted at the fact that he likes it more in england than in germany right now! he thinks he has more respect in england compared to his native germany, which comes down to the disappointment he had at borussia dortmund and bayern munich in recent years. so it does not come as a surprise that he goes back but on the other hand, that he becomes the english national coach and not may be the manager of manchester united, for instance, is a bit of a surprise and also has surprised me to an extent. i thought

tuchel might be the best man after gareth southgate, because gareth southgate, as we know, played a more conservative style. he was conservative in his approach, especially during major tournaments. thomas tuchel is also not the most attack minded coach but he is a bit more attacking minded than gareth southgate so that might be the best next step to also help players like bukayo saka, for instance, getting to the next level, and playing their best for the england national team. , . , best for the england national team. , ., , ., , team. tell us a bit about his achievements _ team. tell us a bit about his achievements in _ team. tell us a bit about his achievements in recent i team. tell us a bit about his i achievements in recent years. we mentioned chelsea, and how much he achieved there. talk us through what has happened at bayern munich as well. so through what has happened at bayern munich as well.- through what has happened at bayern munich as well. so as is so often with _ bayern munich as well. so as is so often with thomas _ bayern munich as well. so as is so often with thomas tuchel, l bayern munich as well. so as is| so often with thomas tuchel, he came and joined bayern munich in march 2023, he had an immediate positive impact, they beat borussia dortmund, their arch rivals, 4—2, and they edged out and know that championship win on the final match day. it was a very close

affair against borussia dortmund but bayern munich managed to win the title. however, his second year at bayern munich, they remain to trophy less for the first time in over a decade. thomas tuchel was not on the best terms with some of his players likejoshua kimmich and a couple of other players who were veterans and leaders in the dressing room. overall, it was a bit leaders in the dressi
