i'm interested to look at the current contenders for the riba prize and some of those incorporate whatarea part people come in and feel that they are a part of it. in terms of the tate in st ives, it is interesting that there is these big windows that look out, that sort of make you feel like the community, the people outside are the art and it's a very grounding thing. some of the buildings that have been interesting over time for example are the new coca—cola headquarters injapan which i was lucky enough to visit recently. they have done lots of good thinking about how you can get people using the stairs. how can you get them having meetings looking out over parkland and things like that. all right, layla mccay, good to talk to you. thank you. you are watching bbc news. a convicted british paedophile is being sued for damages by five young people who claim they were sexually exploited by him while he was living in the philippines. douglas slade was jailed for 24 years in 2016 for abusing five boys here in the uk. angus crawford reports. a dangerous and manipulative paedophile. briton

the winner of the royal institute of british architects‘ most prestigious award — the riba stirling prizenwall by jamie fobert architects with evans & shalev. it's a reconfiguration and extension of the postmodern art gallery which doubles the exhibition space and creates a new public walkway connecting the town to the beach. tate came to st ives because of this amazing legacy here — an artists' colony that started in the early 19th century and continues to this day. we got to this point where we had four times as many visitors as we expected, so the gallery was bursting at the seams. the community wanted the gallery to expand, but at the same time they wanted it to be integrated into the landscape. we did this by excavating into the cliff side, so that we could create the largest possible gallery level with the existing galleries. st ives sits as a spit of sand out into the atlantic, which captures both the east and west light. it was this particular double light that attracted artists here in the first place. the roof of the gallery is made up of massive concrete beams, above which are
