today at 5: a gang of 20 men — of mainly pakistani heritage are convicted of systematic child sex abusen huddersfield. one victim was as young as 11. the men were found guilty after a series of trials, which heard how they groomed vulnerable girls, and plied them with drugs and alcohol, before raping them in remote countryside. the abuse took place between 2007 and 2011. the men who have been convicted of these appalling crimes deliberately targeted their victims, because of their vulnerability. they groomed them and exploited them for their own sexual gratification. we'll have the latest from leeds crown court — and we'll be asking whether west yorkshire police were too slow to investigate repeated allegations of abuse. the other main stories on bbc news at 5: radical islamist preacher anjem choudary is released from prison on licence and is now at a bail hostel. former deputy prime minister nick clegg is tojoin facebook as head of its global affairs and communications team. barefoot in bondi, the duke and duchess of sussex visit iconic bondi beach in sydney, as part of their tour of a

that pakistanis quite both. they have. you and they have received support from the powerful pakistani military over the years so it is very difficult for the civilian administration to do anything to to go against these islamists because they have been protected by the powerful military generals in pakistan who have used these islamists in the past as proxies and of going to stand in kashmir and so we have to understand that there has been a negative in pakistan which is a very islamist and at the state level so these islamists believe that if there is any compromise on on their narrative if the blasphemy laws the controversial laws. get hit by the former dictator in the eighty's change or amended or repeated. pave the way for a secular pakistan then they won't want that and there are many powerful circles in pakistan who the politicians the bureaucracy the military also do not want pakistan to be a secular state but the good thing is that the supreme court decision to this decision verdict has paved the way for this is a
