cps and the criminaljustice system asa cps and the criminaljustice system as a whole. what do you think of british justice, having as a whole. what do you think of britishjustice, having been through the process that you have been through? i really don't know. i don't want to say something rude. if they think somebody needs to be punished for something, they need to be sure. cristina 's experience shows disclosure failures go beyond recent highly publicised rape cases. there are likely to be more examples, each one affecting the lives of those charged, and their families. shares in the outsourcing company capita have fallen dramatically, after it warned that profits for the coming year will be much lower than previously forecast. the company has outlined plans for a major overhaul of its business, and suspended plans to pay dividends to shareholders. the journalist carrie gracie, who resigned as the bbc‘s china editor in protest at unequal pay, has accused the corporation of having an illegal pay culture.

it has taken another seven months for the cps to reverse its decision and to declare that there is nonviction, and today at guildford crown court 0liver mears was formally declared not guilty by the judge. thejudge was pretty formally declared not guilty by the judge. the judge was pretty cross, formally declared not guilty by the judge. thejudge was pretty cross, i think, that this case had taken so long to get to this position. he said there had been unnecessary delays, and he's ordered the cps to provide a full explanation within 28 days. beyond that, does this have wider implications? at the time, people might remember there was a lot of comment about cases, people who had been arrested and left waiting a very, very long time, with obviously an uncertain future, before decisions like this are reached at in fact, this was i think the fourth rape prosecution to be halted at the 11th hour in the last four weeks, and it raises concerns about the prosecution, and also about the prosecution, and also about the prosecution, and also about the police investigation, and in this case surrey

we have just seen the cps statement a few minutes ago. 0bviously have just seen the cps statement a fewmy immediate reaction is two things. 0ne immediate reaction is two things. one is that the explanation that the cps given as to why further prosecutions were not brought does not seem, to our clients, to be consistent with what they were told at the time. there is an issue there that has to be looked at. the other issue, without getting too technical, is that the cps talks about the evidential test. it is our view that the way that the evidential test might be applied might be different now, because what has happened is we have had one trial, that has established, beyond reasonable doubt, that john trial, that has established, beyond reasonable doubt, thatjohn warboys operated a particular system, a particular modus operandi, in terms of how he drugged and raped vulnerable women. that is evidence that could be produced, potentially, another trial as propensity evidence. these are the things that the cps come in our view, need to look up properly. we will consider the statement they hav

she also talks about how it appears that the police had accumulated a lot of evidence but the cps hadctims and clogging up the courts, which is very reassuring for people who report crimes. the issue also that he was likely to receive the maximum sentence possible anyway and some of the cases that came to the attention of the police did not necessarily meet that threshold that the cps thought was worth taking to court. all the bits of the generaljustice syste m all the bits of the generaljustice system have a case to answer, the police in the case of hannah roberts who says did not believe her and they laughed at some of the other victims, the ipcc thought their behaviour was ok after investigating them, rather ridiculously. we will see many cases, probably private prosecutions, which will end up with this man being put through the courts again because the right thing wasn't done at the time. people thought, 0k, he will get a sentence, but it meant that he came out, what, ten years later, nine years later? so many women are reluctant to come forward because they hear about how other w

cps for insta nce sufficient, or is it the cps for instance wrongly dismissing it?or not the police thoroughly investigated these other charges. the crown prosecution service will only bring a prosecution if they think that there is a reasonable prospect of success, or it is in the public interest to do so. it might be that they considered there was not a reasonable prospect of success because the police had not thoroughly investigated. let me at three points to you. i would love your opinion on this. the victims are angry about not being able to testify. they were never told, kim harrison says, that there was a problem with the reliability of their evidence. that's the first point, they were simply told it wasn't needed. the cps released a statement yesterday saying that 83 complaints were made during the initial investigation that many didn't pass the evidential test. and then on top of that, as you've mentioned about the metropolitan police, they have said vocally that there is a suspicion that he assaulted more women. so, when you put all of that together, doesn

whereas it is welcome that there is a review of these sexual allegations by the cps, something widerttorney general, has called for a judge led independent inquiry into disclosure and i welcome that because i wonder whether the public has confidence in the cps reviewing its own cases in light of recent developments. and more public money to be spent. it may be that if there are innocent people going to prison, one cannot put a cost on that, it is pa rt one cannot put a cost on that, it is part of our society that we have a faircriminal part of our society that we have a fair criminal system and the only way to do with is to ensure everyone is doing theirjob properly. thank you. new research suggests that plastic found in many second—hand toys could pose a risk to children's health, as it doesn't meet current safety standards. scientists tested 200 used plastic toys they found in nurseries, charity shops and homes for nine hazardous elements. 20 toys had traces of all nine elements, with some concentrations high enough to fail european standards. for more on this i can speak to cath h

the police must list all unused material, and that the cps, so a decision can be made, what should beld be supplied to the defence in any case. the prosecution effectively makes a decision on what should be passed to the defence, rather than the police? it is that. the police tend to miss things on different schedules. they'll make an initial assessment. it is up to the reviewing cps lawyer to make a final decision and often there can be discussions between the prosecution and the defence. but in effect it should be a team approach between the police and prosecutors. is there ever disagreement between the police and prosecutors about what evidence should be put forward to the defence team? yes. sometimes it is covert material. and there is other information that doesn't want to be disclosed. there have been occasions where prosecutors as a result of that have stopped cases going ahead. a barrister who defended a client against whom rape charges were eventually dropped told the bbc earlier that maybe there was a culture of trying to build up a case rather than investigate it objectivel

a month ago, the cps said they were reviewing 30 rape trials that were about to start.hat they have concluded, but we know this, 19—year—old oliver mears learned the case against him had dropped after new evidence, a diary, was unearthed. and by now he has already spent two years on bail. earlier this week another case collapsed after photos on a phone undermined the case, pictures found by an expert hired by the defence. and in september a case of sexual activity against a child was dropped after a text showed the alleged victim had lied about her age. and here is liam allen, in his case the police failed to disclose text messages which cast doubt on rape allegations made against him. in the last few years i've worried about this and nothing else — it's ripped apart my personal life. in 2010—11 there were 4200 prosecutions for rape. 2,500 led to convictions and since then the number of prosecutions has risen to roughly 5200 year which has led to around 3000 convictions. the share of prosecutions leading to convictions has not substantially changed over this period even

now that charges have been brought by the cps, the ecb have decided that he can play for england ands set to feature in new zealand injust over five weeks' time. let's speak to our sports correspondentjoe wilson, who is at lords. the former england captain michael atherton says the ecb's decision is illogical if stokes gets a date for a court appearance, yes, andi yes, and i can't take that point because you might say what has changed? because you might say what has changed 7 there are because you might say what has changed? there are still criminal proceedings ongoing, still a presumption of innocence before guilt, a key part of our legal system. the ecb would say they are waiting to see what the cps were going to decide, so we had this decision to charge ben stokes and i think the ecb would have liked the criminal proceedings to have been done and dusted before they picked ben stokes but what we now find our cells in a situation where there could be a trial in six months or a year, so do the ecb let ben stokes sit on the sidelines while they wait for that? he is a star player and a

a national disclosure plan has now been published by the cps, the national police chiefs' council andlege of policing to help make improvements. adina campbell, bbc news. yesterday saw another case collapsed because social media evidence was not disclosed. the judge in that trial has ordered the crown prosecution service to explain itself after three people held on trafficking and prostitution charges were thrown out after the material cast doubt on the complainant's story. earlier i spoke to paul keleher, a barrister for one of the defendants who were acquitted. the complainant was cross—examined using material which have not been disclosed and when they've finished the prosecution through their hand in and accept that she was no longer a credible witness. just for those of us who do not know enough about it, what went wrong? we are still waiting to find out. thejudge has demanded an explanation from the crown prosecution service. he commented in ruling on the case that the police and cps had completely failed to apply the law of disclosure in this case, he described their failure is

ultimately the people who decide whether or not cases are prosecuted at the cps and i think the cps shoulder chips. it emerged this week that tech companies have been working on a fix for the meltdown and spectre bugs, which could allow hackers to steal data. apple said there was no evidence that the vulnerability had been exploited. it says it will issue a patch for its safari web browser in the coming days. i spoke to rupert goodwin. there are billions of these chips out there, every computer that we see on the planet is affected by it and before we get new chips and new designs, we will never get rid of this one. one of the ones, meltdown, can be fixed with software, but the other one is going to be there for a long time to come. will any fixes or patches in the meantime be good enough? they will be good and you should always download patches, especially for this one, make sure your phone or computer is up—to—date, and your browsers. do that separately. it will turn the spectre into the sort of problem that other security problems are, to keep up—to—date, as people use it, there will be

they came forward and gave their statements to police, the cps said, don't worry, we won't prosecute will be in prison for a long time and given an indeterminate sentence and will be locked away. they now want their case given the proper scrutiny it deserves, and for there to be a decision made as to whether the prosecution will be brought in their cases. under law, we cannot know why the parole board has decided worboys no longer poses a risk to the public, but many argue the system should change so his victims know why he is being released. tom burridge, bbc news. we'll be returning to that story a little later this hour. two passengerjets have collided on the ground at a toronto airport. one of the planes caught fire, but there are no reports of serious injuries. it's the second such collision at toronto pearson international in five months. bill hayton reports. concern, but then panic. after the collision, fire breaks out. passengers begin to scream, while the crew call on them to remain seated. all of a sudden it started venting fuel all over the wing and then about a second or

in my case, my cp makes me shake all the time and it affects my co—ordination.urological disorder that affects muscle co—ordination but it exhibits differently in different people with cp. you have said, however, "i have 99 problems and cerebral palsy is just one of them" — have you always had such a positive attitude towards your condition, and where does that come from? i have always had a positive attitude towards my condition because i was raised as an equal by my parents. my parents acknowledged my disability, they accommodated my disability, but they didn't focus on it. so whatever my sisters had to do, i had to do. if my sisters were cleaning, i was going to be cleaning. if they went to public school, my parents fought and made sure that i too could go to public school. when i was born, the doctors told my parents that i would never walk. now, this is something really important. there's no shame in not walking, there's no shame in using a wheelchair, or a walker, or a cane, and sometimes people use the word "wheelchair—bound", that term is incorrect. mobi

some people are saying the cps should actually bring in further prosecutions against him.ause he is a lawyer, he will see if it is possible to do that. we are reminded in this piece about how his victims heard that he would be out and about in london and they do not feel safe. horrible. it is important that we have that visitors over the side for the legal profession. we need to make sure the law is followed completely and it there is a loophole that the secretary of state can see, because these are lawyer, then remind have a good result. two more quick stories in the sunday times. try january all year. more quick stories in the sunday times. tryjanuary all year. people buy like the side —— sign of that. and it is going to be veganuary as well. the government are going to try and post calorie caps on fast food restaurants so these massive calorie laden dishes that the british will enjoy, there will be a big sign on them saying this is 1800 calories, best not to eat it. not a bad idea. mr trump may enjoy this dish but perhaps it is not the best wing for you. but a bad idea.

it's an unusual case where you can have the cps examine the file a couple of times and found that duengs it can't prosecute. yet to have this level of evidence in court and no one being arrested, obviously we can't speculate on who might be responsible, but the fact there are people associated with this case who aren't being in any way under threat of arrest or trial is astonishing. indeed. staying with the telegraph. at the bottom a big story across the weekend, you are chuckling, both of you. the ukip leader's wife refuses to give him her support. i wonder why. yes, more than meets the eye in this headline. ukip, the past two weekends back in the news, it's not a new policy announcement or anything, it was his love life. first a younger girlfriend, and the wife, estranged wife. then this weekend the mail's story was about seemingly racist messages by that girlfriend. he has had to separate ways. i think the phrase was romantically disengage or something along those lines. conscious uncoupling. perhaps unsurprisingly, his estranged wife. .. uncoupling. perhaps unsurprisingly, his est

scotland yard and the cps have both issued statements tonight defending their actions in the case.of public prosecutions at the time, keir starmer, who was not involved in the decision—making, has urged victims to take any allegations to the police. i think these decisions were nine years ago. it's very important that you go to the crown prosecution service and get an accurate readout of the decisions that were made, particularly if further allegations are likely to be made now. thank you very much indeed. but with police saying worboys may be britain's most prolific sex attacker, did the original punishment fit the crime? this is a guy who drugged 12 women, who carried out a campaign attempting to rape a very large number of women and who has served rather less than ten years in prison and is now said to be safe. it's pretty surprising. worboys will have to comply with stringent controls while on parole, but his release reactivates the debate about how the criminaljustice system still treats perpetrators and victims of sexual violence. one of the killers of the toddler james bulge

indeed the cps letter was sent after he had been sentenced.n sparked this whole controversy. when you read these letters, especially from the crown prosecution service lawyer, it does make it even more bizarre, the decision but parole board has made, two years after warboys was refused permission to go to an open prison. the letter from the cps lawyer, anthony connell, says, it is clear from thejudge anthony connell, says, it is clear from the judge posner sentencing remarks he is considered a dangerous offender. those responsible for considering any application will no doubt have this in mind, together with the fact he committed an awful lot of offences. they will also have regard to the fact he denied his guilt throughout the trial and maintained innocence after the conviction. it is written, contrition is a factor considered most carefully by those responsible for considering any application for release. there is a clear indication that unless you express remorse and you hold your hands up and say, yes, idid you hold your hands up and say,

earlier i spoke to former cps chief prosecutor nazir afzal and asked him how concerned people shouldts. public confidence has been shaken by a series of cases where very basic things such as disclosure... the most basic thing is providing the defence with a case against them and also the evidence you have that may assist them. the fact it has not been happening in these very high profile cases, and the one that clive mentioned yesterday, suggests to me that something is amiss and it needs to be remedied. we have heard the dpp say she wants every single case in the system to be looked at afresh by a more senior lawyer. the question clive asked, that i asked, as well, is what about other cases? it doesn't have to be just rape and sexual offences. disclosure impacts on all serious cases, everything. there is no current proposal to look at all such matters. we've got a situation where juries hear the evidence. they don't know now whether it is all the evidence. they don't know what's happening. and i think, as one of your contributors said, the issue is resources. it's not just money. it

they came forward and gave their statements to police, the cps said, don't worry, we won't prosecutease because he will be in prison for a long time and given an indeterminate sentence and will be locked away. they now want their case given the proper scrutiny it deserves, and for there to be a decision made as to whether the prosecution will be brought in their cases. under law, we cannot know why the parole board has decided worboys no longer poses a risk to the public, but many argue the system should change so his victims know why he is being released. tom burridge, bbc news. earlier shaun ley spoke to baroness helen newlove, the victims' commissioner for england and wales. she's spoken to thejustice secretary and told him he needs to look again at legislation so victims don't feel excluded from the parole process. when you go for an appeal hearing, there is a judgment that's in the public domain, and i have been asking that parole boards should give a similarjudgment so that there is that open transparency, because it is very much a every closed hearing. victims can go and give

we know that he has been charged by the cps with affray so he will appear before magistrates, it is likelyl the seedings will take to reach their proceedings. they say it is not fair or proportionate to stop ben stokes playing for england, so stop ben stokes playing for england, so he will fly out to new zealand to be available for twenty20 international is next month. he has already been in new zealand playing domestic cricket in canterbury and the ecb have said they have no objection to him potentially playing cricket in the ipl in india in the spring. i think the ecb are thinking in that context, can we wait a long period before ben stokes is available to us? and in terms of practicality, it ben stokes had gone out of the ashes, he would have faced so much media scrutiny and attention in new zealand, and that level will be far less there. thank you. jo wilson, at lord‘s. it‘s one of the most famous flying teams in british history. 75 years after carrying out the daring dambusters raid, the raf‘s 617 squadron is being reformed, as the royal air force celebrates its centenary. sophie rawo
