a huge sentence for him, and a very emotional summing up from thejudge? absolutely.rever he goes he could bring destruction, and that he should never be able to walk out of prison. when she gave that 175 year sentence, she said i have just signed your death warrant. throughout, the judge has been very clear that the things that larry nassar had done irreparable harm to this young women, so she used the sentencing hearing over the past week to give any of his accusers the right to come forward and to confront him and share their stories. now, at the beginning of this, we were told that 88 women had chosen to speak, but by the end nearly 160 decided to confront him, with their horrific and very painful stories of how he first gained their trust, and then under the guise of medical treatment, trust, and then under the guise of medicaltreatment, sexually assaulted them. and, many of them describe how they were embarrassed, and didn't know that it was medical treatment or not, and questioned it, and later, upon the realisation, described how it had really changed their ab

so, there, you can hear thejudge financial state... larry nassar, to 175 years in prison. he had said to his victims, there, in the courtroom apologised for what he had called the pain and trauma and emotional destruction that they were all feeling, but extremely harsh words from thejudge, saying feeling, but extremely harsh words from the judge, saying that while he claims he was a medical doctor," i wouldn't send my dogs to you that." this is a case that has really gripped the whole of the united states, hasn't it? and a very strong sense at the end of it? yes, absolutely. at the beginning of this, 88 women had chosen to speak, but others came forward, gaining strength and the others, and in the end, nearly 160 women and girls came forward to give their accounts. each was as powerful as the last, but they all were very similar in the sense that they said that larry nassar was a renowned physician. that he gained their trust by putting forward a wholesome persona, and grooms them by saying that he would heal them and help them achieve

thejudge said he had spuna deceitful. thejudge said he had spun a web of deceit against women.se re—professionals, experienced people on the parole board panel, into believing that he is now not a danger to women? when he sentenced him in 2009, thejudge said he should not be released until he was no longer a threat to women and i think that is what will concern people. thank you very much. the leader of the council in windsor is facing a backlash after calling for rough sleepers and beggars to be cleared before the royal wedding in may. simon dudley said some people begging were not in fact homeless, and had made what he called a "voluntary choice" to live on the streets. campaigners say his comments are ‘misinformed'. adina campbell reports from windsor. it may be one of the country's most affluent areas with a prime tourist it's been home to british kings and queens for more than 1,000 years. windsor castle is a popular tourist destination overlooking high—end shops in one of the country's most affluent areas. but, a stone's throwaway is stewart's home, a bus shelter where he

thejudge has demanded an urgent explanation in a case made even more shocking by the fact that one ofdefendants was held in prison for 13 months, during which time she gave birth. this problem is systemic and endemic throughout the criminaljustice system. it's been known about for many years and it's a result of chronic underfunding of the police, the prosecution service and particularly defence lawyers who have suffered years of cuts to legal aid. if public confidence in our fair trial system is to be maintained, fixing disclosure is now the criminal justice system's biggest challenge. clive coleman, bbc news. earlier i spoke to former cps chief prosecutor nazir afzal and asked him how concerned people should be about these developments. 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

thejudge is constrained in how tough a sentence he or she can pass.s used and the victim's recall may not be good. the sorts of things are often prosecuted with lots of offences on the same indictment and you can end up the same indictment and you can end up with convictions for offences which art as strong. you say you remember what a danger john worboys wasn't how difficult it was for your colleagues to catch him. take us back to that. there was an investigation done on the local borough that was not the best, quite possibly. the case was given to the homicide directorate, a tea m given to the homicide directorate, a team took it on, they borrowed stuff from many other teams and there was a observation at night. it was difficult to catch him. there was knowledge that there were upwards of 25 victims. this was a man who was really dangerous and really causing problems. do you think about those of the police and the cps now have serious questions to answer, but they should pursue this had at the time? iam not pursue this had at the time? i am not sure

thejudge was pretty formally declared not guilty by the judge.lly 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 police have issued a statement admitting that they made mistakes in its initial enquiry. said, we accept there were flaws in the initial investigation. it wasn't expedient and the investigation didn't

thejudge described them sheer strength in this courtroom.ors with superwoman steel. the focus of the sentencing has been on those who survived larry nassar‘s abuse. perhaps the biggest victory isn't seeing the man who molested them behind bars, but knowing that together they found the collective strength to confront him. a jury's been told that a man accused of carrying out the finsbury park terror attack last june kept smiling and even blew a kiss at the gathering crowd after ploughing a van into mmslim worshippers. —— into muslim worshippers. darren 0sborne from cardiff denies murder and attempted murder after the attack in north london which left one man dead. darren 0sborne from cardiff denies murder and attempted murder an imam who was one of the first on the scene told the court how he stopped the crowd attacking the driver of the van. daniel sandford reports. witness after witness described how the van der gragt its engines just before smashing into the group of muslim men and women. —— how the van revved its engines. some said they f
