years, building $1 billion fashion empire using provocative ads and preppy clothing aimed at teenagers. now 80, mike jeffries was slouched in the courtroom as thejudge read out the charges against him — one count of sex trafficking, 15 counts of interstate prostitution. he pled not guilty. he's now under house arrest after being released on a $10 million bond. this followed my two—year investigation into him and his british partner, matthew smith. several men told me they were abused by them at events they hosted in major cities around the world. what i'd like to talk about is being lied to, tricked and treated like a commodity. i think it broke me. i think that this stole any ounce of innocence that i had left and it mentally messed me up. the bbc gathered evidence of a highly organised operation involving a middleman called

in hawaii for comic relief and he's aiming to break the course record for a double leg amputee. the mo—mile race, in high temperatures, will take about 17 hours to complete. our reporter tim muffett caught up with billy as he made final preparations. probably going to be the toughest thing i've ever done. actually, it will definitely be the toughest thing i've ever done. billy, it's so good to see you. yeah, good to see you, too. how are you and how is it all going? it is all going to plan so far. i mean, mainly it'sjust been arriving on the island, logistics, signing in for the event itself. in the heat and humidity, it's definitely brutal conditions out here. but could you just clarify for everyone the sheer scale of the challenge ahead of you? so, an ironman is a 3.8km ocean swim, then you go into 112 miles of cycling, and then you follow that up by running 26.2 miles, so a marathon.

so yeah, that's the crux of the challenge i'm doing. multiple double amputees have tried to finish this race. only one has actually made it to the finish line, so, you know, that is the first goal here. but the world record that he set is definitely on my sights and that's just over 16 hours. the training for this must have been absolutely gruelling. it's been a year of hard work. training for this ironman has been brutal. part of what makes this challenge scary and daunting in a lot of ways, i've pushed myself so far mentally in lots of different ways after my accident and, you know, in life in general, but it feels like this is going to need something even more special. it's going to need that next level of mental fortitude to fight. last month you competed in an ironman challenge in weymouth. it was very tough, but it was half the distance of what you're about to take on. so weymouth was my last preparation race. i've done three, you know, 70.3 half ironman distance races. the idea and the goal

with weymouth was to sort of test where my fitness was at, and also to hopefully finish weymouth feeling like i could do that all over again. cheering the conditions out here definitely escalate this challenge tenfold. i mean, out here compared to the races i've previously raced at, it is, yeah, a different ball game. the humidity is sky high, the temperatures are hot. yeah, brutal conditions to race under but it does look quite nice from a fairly chilly uk, i have to say. can you just show us around where you are at the moment? this is hawaii. you can see the palm trees behind me and lots of athletes prepping, of athletes prepping, getting ready, the ocean getting ready, the ocean just over my shoulder. just over my shoulder. that's where i'll be that's where i'll be doing the swim. doing the swim. it's just over seven it's just over seven years since the accident years since the accident in which you nearly died in which you nearly died and which led to your legs and which led to your legs both being amputated. both being amputated. oh. — oh. — that's horrendous! that's horrendous! and since then, your and since then, your attitude to life has attitude to life has inspired so many people. inspired so many people. you carried on racing, you carried on racing, you took part in celebrity race you took part in celebrity race

across the world. across the world. billy and bonny raced smart. we're starting to get the hang of how to be cheap and fast. to take the lead for the first time. hey! get in there! what my accident taught me was, you know, just about how short life can be and how you want to seize and grab every day, you know, by the scruff of its neck and seize every opportunity. and, for me, it's about, you know, never

obviously i have, you know, additional challenges to most of the other athletes that will be out there competing and fundamentally the main one, particularly on the cycle and the run, it's just purely around the how the sockets fit, and it's something that we've worked quite hard on in preparation. if the sockets don't fit right, it can be like wearing a pair of shoes two sizes too small and trying to cycle 112 miles and run a marathon, like, it can be really brutal. it can, you know, it can really damage my legs, my skin, everything like that. i'm excited to see how far i can dig to, you know, push myself to keep on going one foot in front of the other and to make it to that finish line. now, there have been a lot of good luck messages for you. here are some of them. very best of luck for your upcoming ironman challenge. what an incredible undertaking. i hope it all goes well and that maybe you can even enjoy it. hey, it'sjessicaj ennis—hill here.

billy, ijust wanted to wish you the best of luck- with your ironman challenge. i have absolutely no doubt that you will smash it. - you are an incredible person. it's here, the big day. i'd like to wish you all the very best. and one piece of advice that i got when i did my ironman in kona — don't chase the island. let it come to you. think of the training you've done. and do you know what? you deserve this. the very best of luck. sending lots of love, bud. wow. i mean, remarkable to see so many incredible people there sending me messages. i just want to say thank you to everyone that sent in a message of support. it's yeah, really appreciated. viewing them keeps me going. and i guess we'll be able to call you iron monger? yeah, there's a few people that have said that that worked pretty well. so, uh, yeah, i've got metal legs and i'm taking on an iron man, so it all links into it, i guess. yeah, i thought i was being so original!

billy, very best of luck from all of us at bbc breakfast. thank you very much. yeah, thanks everyone for the support back home. i really appreciate it. you can find out more about billy's challenge on the comic relief website. cricket, and england have been beaten by nine wickets in the third and final test against pakistan in rawalpindi. it means they lose the series 2—1. they were bowled out forjust 112 in their second innings, their lowest ever total in the country. here's joe lynskey. got him! for pakistan, this was the most emphatic way to seal it. a third test that started with a series in the balance in the end was a procession. on day three of this match, england began a long way off. three wickets down already, still 53 behind. harry brook showed promise, but pakistan knew there'd be chances. now gone! when brook was caught behind, it set the tone for the morning. ben stokes, the captain, left a ball that hit his pads — a wicket through misjudgment from the man they often count on. england got two runs behind whenjamie smith

went on the charge. sajid khan and noman ali, the pakistan bowlers who now have turned this series. pakistan are all over england! one that started this month with england posting 800 — now for pakistan to win it, they'd need just 36. very big! it took them less than half an hour to seal the test and seal the series, the first they've won at home in almost four years. for pakistan, this was lift—off on a day england collapsed. joe lynskey, bbc news. all five of one direction�*s studio albums have reached the uk's top a0 list, as fans mourn the death of former member liam payne. the 31—year—old singer died last week after he fell from a third floor balcony of the casa sur hotel in buenos aires in argentina. now it's time for a look at the weather with stav danaos.

hello there. the weather's looking pretty mixed this weekend, but i think a lot of places should see some dry and sunny weather. a greater chance of seeing some sunshine around tomorrow for england and wales. eastern scotland not doing too badly, but we will see most of the wind and rain across scotland and northern ireland both today and tomorrow, and for all areas compared to the last few days, temperatures will be a few degrees down. so this weather front working its way into scotland and northern ireland will bring the heavy rain, the strong winds, whereas further south it should be drier with lighter winds. best of the sunshine towards northern and western england and for wales, a bit more cloud towards the east and south—east, but it should slowly brighten up later in the day. wetter and windy weather, though, pushes into the north—west of scotland and northern ireland and temperature—wise, a few degrees down on the last few days, generally the low to mid—teens. now, that rain in the north and the west sinks southwards across england and wales tonight, but tends to fizzle out as it reaches southern areas, so by the end of the night most places will be dry and clear and a lot chillier. a touch of frost for scotland and northern ireland. a few blustery showers into western scotland.

don't forget, clocks go back one hour. so as we start sunday morning it will be chilly. lots of sunshine around and we should see a lot of sunshine in eastern scotland before the skies start to cloud up generally here for scotland, northern ireland, with outbreaks of rain pushing in during the afternoon. but england and wales will stay dry with lighter winds, plenty of sunshine but a fresher day to come, i think — 10 to 1a degrees. so that's the weekend out of the way. into monday, we've got quite a few weak weather fronts across the country. westerly winds bringing some slightly milder air back in, but there will be a lot of cloud around, i think on monday, with some splashes of rain across central, northern and western areas. glimmers of brightness appearing to the east of higher ground generally, and temperatures will be a little higher — 15, 16, maybe 17 in the brightest spots. as we head into tuesday, we start to this area of high pressure build in, that should kill off most of the weather fronts. the winds turn lighter, so it'll be a little bit of a cloudy, murky start, i think, to tuesday. any splashes of rain across southern england

will slowly ease away and then many places will be dry. we should see a bit more sunshine around central, northern and eastern areas, always a bit more cloud towards the west and again feeling quite mild. and we hold on to that settled theme for the rest of the week. a lot of cloud around. by the end of the week, though, it turns sunnier but colder from the north. take care.
