thank you, simon. of the murder of a toddler by her adoptive father, says health care professionals missed opportunities to raise concerns about her care. matthew scully—hicks shook 18—month—old elsie to death, a fortnight after she formally became his daughter. the regional safeguarding children board found that previous injuries she had suffered were dismissed as childhood accidents. sian lloyd reports from cardiff. elsie was just 18 months old when she died — murdered by her adopted father. matthew scully—hicks had been described by a judge as a jekyll and hyde type character. he was sentenced to 18 years in prison after inflicting a catalogue of injuries on the child. today, a report was published into whether lessons could be learned from her death. it found that professionals did not consider or raise the possibility that elsie was being harmed by a parent. her injuries were either missed or not documented, meaning safeguarding concerns were not raised, and information was not effectively shared

simon is back to look through the papers.uardian about amazon. huge company, posting huge profits, 2.5 billion in the recent quarter. and yet its tax bill is down to 11.5 billion. how does that happen? it's important to separate the headline from the details. that profit number is the us company, this tax bill is purely on the uk logistics and warehouse business. so, that's not even the whole of the uk retail business. there is no suggestion whatsoever here that what is happening is untoward. there is no suggestion that there is any old corporate tax structures in there. 0ne corporate tax structures in there. one of the reasons why there may be a reduction is in terms of how they are paying their staff. there is increased share payback there. it's obviously an unfortunate headline for amazon, at a time when there is a continued focus on the payment of corporate tax by companies like that, and at a time when amazon is actually sitting there in becoming involved in public procurement, it is getting involved in local authorities
