pakistan have the upper hand against england. they took a first innings lead thanks to a century from saud shakeel, and by the close england were three down in their second innings and still trailing it was a patient century from saud, the majority of runs coming fron singles as he finished on 134 — pakistan were eventually all out for 344, with rehan ahmed taking four wickets. england lost three wickets by the close, both openers gone, ben duckett and zak crawley and then ollie pope, they are 24—3, 53 runs behind. let's hearfrom both camps, starting with pakistans centurion saud shakeel who was speaking to simion mann. i think when you score 100,,... at the same time you have the leads, that is the most

of his responses". earlier this week, he said he could come out of test retirement for the series against india that starts next month. the premier league weekend starts at the king power stadium later. the east midlands derby between leicester and nottingham forest. the leicester boss steve cooper was sacked by forest 11 months ago, despite getting them into the premier league and keeping them up against the odds. he says he won't be distracted by that, with enough to deal with at his new team. that is enough to consume me and my mind and the mind of the staff. reviewing the game on the weekend, what we did well and how could we do better and taking it into friday, that is enough to think about. and people that know me will know that i completely stay on task for the job i that i completely stay on task for thejob i do and don't let anything interfere with that. that is the same this week. the world series gets under way later between the la dodgers and the new york yankees.

it's the best of seven. with game one in los angeles at the dodger stadium. it'll be the 12th time these two teams have faced each other in a world series — although it's over a0 years since the last one. it will see two of the stand out major league baseball stars make their world series debuts, the yankees aaronjudge and the dodgers shoei ohtani, with over 100 home runs between them this season. i thinkjust the amount of matchups we have had going back all those years, back and forth, you look at some of the legends that were on those teams. and then, you know, coming in, the legend is that they have on their team and our team, it is a star—studded matchup. two of the best teams going at it. it will be a fun series. even going back to when we played them injune this year, just looking forward to it. and that's all

the sport for now. let's head back to the new studio. the latest... it's being described as the uk's largest catfishing case — alexander mccartney from county armagh is being sentenced at belfast crown court for a litany of crimes. mccartney pleaded guilty to manslaughter earlier this year after a 12—year—old girl took her own life rather than comply with his demands. police believe he targeted around 3,500 children across 30 countries. thejudge is sentencing, beginning his sentencing remarks. he described mccartney's primes as one of sadism and depravity. let's speak to our ireland correspondent richard morgan — who is outside the court in belfast.

just bring us up—to—date on what else thejudge just bring us up—to—date on what else the judge has said. thejudge says he what else the judge has said. the judge says he does what else the judge has said. thejudge says he does not what else the judge has said. the judge says he does not want to read out the full horrors of mccartney's crimes, given the detail and the sheer horror of those crimes. mccartney is sitting in the dock with his head in his hands and looking at the floor like he has done in previous hearings. thejudge has said that it is clear that he is devoid of normal human empathy. we heard thejudge told the court that at times when some of his victims said they wanted to take their own lives if he published images, he would reply online, good luck and goodbye. thejudge also addressed claims from mccartney that he himself was a victim of cat fishing once. the judge said he was unable to find any evidence that is true.

the account is made up in the event he would be arrested. evenif event he would be arrested. even if it were true, it would not be enough to be considered mitigating factors in this case. thejudge has talked about the impact on victims who suffer with anxiety, mental health problems, suicidal thoughts, self—harm, alopecia, trust issues and lack of sleep as a result of what was done to them by mccartney. we have also heard about mccartney himself, the judge said heard about mccartney himself, thejudge said he began heard about mccartney himself, the judge said he began this abuse, this crime from the age of ia and over the years it got worse and worse. he says that he never referred to children or a child during interviews with police, he pretended his victims were not real. he said the defendant had a happy childhood with no previous

convictions. thejustice has previously said that some of the charges that mccartney has admitted can carry a life sentence. we do expect the judge to continue with the sentencing remarks and we will find out shortly how long mccartney will spend in prison. will be back with you shortly, for the moment that is richard at belfast crown court. following this case is alsojim gamble. the scale of these offences, it is almost extraordinary and incredible. police believe he targeted around 3500 children. across some 30 countries. as we heard, thejudge some 30 countries. as we heard, the judge described the crimes as ones of sadism and depravity. what would you say the lessons that can be learned from this case for parents,

children and social media companies?— children and social media companies? children and social media comanies? . ., ., ., companies? there are a lot of lessons for — companies? there are a lot of lessons for parents _ companies? there are a lot of lessons for parents and - lessons for parents and children. for children, if it looks too good to be true it is. you have to be one of the first lines of defence for yourself. it is difficult for children, we need to better educate them in schools about this. we need to give them real tools so they are much more alive to the red flags that they are being cat fished. we use this term, what we really mean is that they are being lined up to be sexually or financially exploited by someone who is masquerading as someone who is masquerading as someone they are not. for parents, the lesson is sit back and listen to this case. read the articles and have conversations with your children. we talk about the big tech companies, there are lessons for them, of course there are lessons. i don't think the online safety act is the tool that will change that. i don't think proposals around

mobile phones will change that, i do think there are ways we can engage with social media companies and will influence them more effectively. we should say that if your site is unsafe, if you go into any restaurant they will be a hygiene rating, if your site drops below three because you don't have good reporting mechanisms or moderation, you are not responding to take—down orders, we should ban advertising. over $130 billion in advertising revenue in 2023, i have been saying this for a long time, if you want a moderate online companies kick them in the wallet, don't do it after a child has been hurt do it before. if they don't create a safe environment, prohibit advertising because 98% of that profit is through advertising. we are very good at pointing the finger at big tech because it is easy for them to be the bad guys, this is about a human

being alexander mccartney who behaved in a monstrous way. it is notjust about being pointing the finger at the predator, it is about the government, looking in the mirror and realising that why have we only identified 70 victims out of 3500. the police have been diluted and diminished by the previous government. we need to reinvest, better technology, better forms of forensic investigation. we need to be able to work faster and better to identify and safeguard children.— to identify and safeguard children. ~ , . ~ to identify and safeguard children. ~ , children. we will be back. more on those sentencing _ children. we will be back. more on those sentencing remarks, l children. we will be back. more| on those sentencing remarks, if you want to follow it online, thatis you want to follow it online, that is the qr code, we will have the latest from our correspondent at the top of the hour. you are watching bbc news. stay with us. hello there. it's still quite dull and cloudy for a lot of places. the mist and fog of this

morning is lifting. we are seeing some sunshine coming in from the southwest. a change in the weather here. now we have an area of low pressure close to the southwest that's going to pull away this weekend. and the sunshine is coming in behind this weather front, which is bringing with it a little bit of rain. ahead of that, there is a lot of cloud and temperatures are going to be typically 15, maybe 16 degrees, but with some sunshine ahead of that rain. in east anglia, temperatures are likely to reach 19 or 20 celsius. there's the weather front, there's what's left of that rain, that continues to push northwards, pushing the cloud northwards, clearer skies following from the south but in the southeast and across east anglia, later in the night we're going to find more cloud and maybe even a few spots of rain. otherwise most of the rain is in the far northwest of scotland. still pretty mild overnight, just not quite as mild as it was last night. heading into tomorrow, in between these two areas of cloud, there will be some sunshine just going to get wetter though towards the northwest during the day the breeze picks up and across eastern parts of england we'll see more cloud. probably not a great

deal of rain mind you, but it will be cooler underneath that cloud. temperatures generally not quite as high as today. still mild though. 1a to 16 degrees on saturday afternoon. as we head overnight, well, we've got that weather front pushing down to the northwest bringing some rain. there is an extra hour of sleep because the clocks go back, of course, and then heading into sunday, coming in from the atlantic, we're going to find thickening cloud to bring with it some rain. but we'll start off quite sunny for many parts of the country, and it's going to be a much sunnier day for the eastern side of england this time. but we'll see cloud increasing in northern ireland, some rain coming in here into western scotland and then heading over the irish sea later on in the afternoon. temperatures though a little bit lower on sunday, nearer normal for the time of year around 11 to 1a celsius. but into next week it's looking very quiet actually. a bit of rain still left, perhaps on monday across the south, but high pressure is then going to build across the uk. we're going to find a stronger wind picking up for scotland. that could give a little bit of rain, but otherwise we're

drawing in mild air. so these are the temperatures into next week. so we're looking at around 1a to 16 degrees. and for many parts of the country it will be dry with a little sunshine.
