to the BBC News at Six. One of Britain's worst paedophiles

who abused up to 200 children in Malaysia has been given 22 life

sentences by a British judge. Richard Huckle - a freelance

photographer who's thirty and from Ashford in Kent -

admitted seventy-one His youngest victim

was just six months old. Angus Crawford joins us

from the Old Bailey. the judge told Huckle this morning,

your life revolves around your own sexual gratification. Referring to a

letter he had been sent by Huckle again just this morning. He said you

are not genuinely remorseful. As he was led away, a woman got to her

feet in the public gallery and she shouted at Huckle, she shouted, 1000

deaths are to good use. -- too good for you.

Confronted with his crimes he says no comment.

This is how he wanted others to see him, a devout Christian

training to be a teacher here with the British Council.

But in court he admitted raping children as young as six months

old and posting the footage on the so-called dark web.

Today he was given 22 life sentences.

We followed his trail through Kuala Lumpur

He also travelled widely using his faith to get close to children.

He attended one church in Kent and another in London,

which we cannot identify for legal reasons.

Online he boasted about making friends with children

We now know that the NCA only contacted that church last week.

That is 18 months after Huckle was first arrested.

Today the agency said it had voluntarily referred itself

He hasn't committed any offence in the UK...

He has not committed any offence in the UK.

You did not ask the church until last week.

We had no information that he has done any offending in the UK

and even to the state we know he has not committed any offence in the UK.

it is to check on our response, was it appropriate in

BBC News has learned Huckle wasn't the only British user.

Details of 17 others were sent to the NCA, although some

were untraceable today the agency confirmed two committed suicide,

five are behind bars, and six are still being investigated.

Richard Huckle is still a young man, only 30, but he will be in his 50s

before he can even be considered for possible release.

Thank you. Intelligence officers in Ukraine

have detained a man who they say was planning to carry out a string

of terror attacks during the Euro 2016 football tournament,

which starts in France on Friday. The Frenchman was caught with a huge

from the capital, Kiev. Caught in a Ukrainian sting

operation, these pictures have no sound but officials here say they

show a Frenchman planning several terror attacks during the Euro 2016

football championships. Here he is filmed stashing a box of rocket

propelled grenades into a van. Watch here as he appears to use a blanket

to wrap up Kalashnikov machine guns. Then two rocket propelled grenade

launchers go into a sack and also into the van. Ukraine Security

service told us the man had earmarked 15 targets in Western

Europe, including a synagogue, a mosque, and a French tax office. But

as the Frenchman tries to cross the border from Ukraine into Poland and

into the European Union, Ukrainian police swoop. The man is arrested

and a full arsenal of weapons in the van. In total, five machine guns,

6000 bullets, and these small blocks are explosives. The man who was

arrested has not been named but he has been described as an

international list who was apparently unhappy about high levels

of immigration in France. -- Ultra naturalist.

TRANSLATION: We learnt different citizen arrived Ukraine claiming to

be offering volunteer aid. He made contact with members of the Armed

Forces, promising to deliver equipment, but during this process

he indicated his interest in purchasing weapons, explosives, and

other things of destruction. There are questions tonight about how easy

it is to buy machine guns and explosives here in the Ukraine. But

the country's security service is claiming a massive coup, saying it

has prevented mass murder just days before Euro 2016 kicks off in

France. Security will be tight throughout the tournament. Today

England were among the teams arriving in France ahead of their

game against Russia. Many of the details about the operation by

police here in Ukraine remain unanswered. The authorities in

France say their investigation is about arms trafficking and not

terrorism. Our Sports Editor Dan

about to get underway in a country on high alert. Ever since the Paris

attacks, where there were the failed attacks on the national arena, there

That is why the state of emergency has been extended to cover this

tournament and then the Tour de France afterwards. -- the Euro 2016.

The French government has said 90,000 police officers and military

personnel will be on duty in the host cities to make sure this

tournament is safe. The England team have been settling in in their hotel

Chelsea's former doctor - who's claiming constructive

dismissal from the football club -- has rejected an offer of more

than ?1 million to settle the dispute.

Eva Carneiro - in the blue coat -

who appeared at the opening of an employment tribunal -

is also bringing a separate legal action against Chelsea's former

manager, Jose Mourinho, for alleged victimisation and discrimination.

For weeks now much of the EU referendum debate has been

dominated by the economy - with Remain campaigners outlining

what they see as the disadvantages of leaving.

But today Boris Johnson, argued that it was riskier

to pay for eurozone bailouts and budget increases in the future.

But a deal to opt out of funding future

bailouts has already been agreed - and remain campaigners argue

the UK has a veto over future budget increases.

Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg reports.

This campaign is dirty, and it will take a lot more than a visit to a

soap factory to clean it up. Handle with care are the claims made by

those wanting out today. Nobody can say we are not running the clean

campaign, ladies and gentlemen... Boris Johnson and friends tried to

say that it costs us now but it will cost us billions more in the future.

The risk of remaining in this over centralising, overregulating, job

destroying machine, are becoming more obvious and I think that is why

we are winning the arguments. The risks, the claims, are stumping up

more cash to prop up the Eurozone, even though the PM brokered a deal

to stop that happening. You have told this audience here this morning

that we will somehow be dragged into paying for the failures of the

Eurozone, when you know very well that PM has done a series of deals

to keep us out of all of that. The idea that the opt out is somehow

going to protect ask well, it has no legal basis at the moment, it isn't

the treaty, there is absolutely no way we will be able, in the future,

to intimate ourselves from calls on the British taxpayer. Even though he

has enough Eastern European is on the shop floor to read signs in

Polish, the boss here wants out, too. We export to 75 countries

around the world. Britain is seen as a great place to invest in the

business. Those who want out are energised by pulling ahead in some

recent polls. Despite being told their claims about cash are wrong by

independent number crunchers, and having the majority of economic

experts against them. As they crisscross the country, the out

campaigners are not trying to get you to swallow and I just the

minutiae of all of their claims, by a hotly disputed by the other side,

anyway. What they want you to here is a broader message that in their

belief staying inside the European Union could have real costs for the

country, too. Further down the road, another local boss believes even the

idea of leaving is hurting. The indecision that is out there, and

the unknown, I mean, nobody has a plan B in business. In my belief.

Because, what is the plan if you leave? There is not one. But look, a

battlebus and a matching fleet of minis, and a folding bike for the

Green party leader. David Cameron and his new friends Tim, Harriet,

and Natalie, different parties, but with the same drive. I cannot stand

back and allow the league campaign to guide us toward economic ruin

because of a campaign based on lies. Staying in the EU is the best chance

we have to meet the biggest challenge of our time, climate

change. Don't blame the EU for problems in the NHS. That is down to

the government. CHUCKLES

If you are... If you are worried... None of them consider it a joke if

we choose to leave the EU and its trading area we could all be poorer.

The uncertainty, the impact on trade and the economy, we would have lit

the fuse ourselves. As a million more us sign up to vote, Labour is

stepping more boldly into the campaign. Politicians of every

stripe are trying to persuade us after months of their manoeuvrings

it is nearly time for all of us to decide.

Well it's believed several million people have yet to register to vote

in the EU referendum - including many young people

and some from black and minority ethnic communities.

The deadline to register is midnight tomorrow -

and with less than three weeks to go - the campaigns up and down

the country are entering their final phases.

Our Chief Correspondent Gavin Hewitt has been gauging

Can the tournament's outsiders Northern Ireland produce the

Former Chelsea doctor rejected a 1. ?1.2 million settlement from the

club claiming constructive dismissal with separate action against Jose

Mourinho. Leading scientists say

advances in genetics and biology are heralding

a revolution in medicine. A technique known as gene editing

enables researchers to alter It could lead to new treatments,

even cures for many diseases. Our medical correspondent, Fergus

Walsh, has this exclusive report. Could this solve the organ

transplant shortage? That's the aim of research in California. These

sows are pregnant with part pig, part human offspring. The pig

embryos had their DNA edited using a technique known as crisper, then

human cells were injected which scientists hope will allow a human,

not pig pancreas, to grow. Just one example of this powerful technology.

What is gene editing? Inside each cell in our body is our genome,

billions of pieces of genetic code. It's the blueprint or instruction

manual for life. A single error or spelling mistake in that DNA can

trigger disease. There are thousands of genetic disorders and many more

conditions that develop as we age. Crisper gene editing enables

scientists to scan the entire genome and using molecular scissors to cut

both strands of DNA and delete, insert or repair the code. I was

looking at your chart. I like what I'm seeing. In San Francisco, the

world's first trials have already happened using an earlier form of

gene editing. Matt is one of around 80 HIV patients whose immune cells

have been DNA edited to try to make them resistant to the virus. Since

the trial, he's stopped taking any antiretroviral drugs. My lab values

look really good. My viral load is pretty good, pretty well controlled.

That's kind of the point of the study to see how well you can

naturally control HIV after you get the treatment. How long have you

been off your meds? I've been off my meds for two years. That's pretty

amazing. It's too early to talk about cures after such a small

trial, but the Bayeux chemist who co-discovered crisper, a new rapid

form of gene editing says medicine will be transformed. Just thinking

about the opportunity to cure a genetic disease, not treat it, not

you know, just give palliative treatment, but really provide a

cure, in the future, is so exciting. Do you think diseases will be cured?

I feel they will. People say that this is going to be the century of

biology. I think there's a lot of truth to that. But when scientists

can alter DNA at will, society will have to decide what limits should be

placed on such a powerful technology.

Police are hunting for a man in connection with the fatal

A body - thought to be that of Peter Stuart -

Officers are looking to question Ali Qazimaj,

who's from the former Yugoslavia, but are warning he should

Alex, just what are the police saying about this? They're saying

that 42-year-old Ali Qazimaj is a key person in this murder inquiry.

He lives in south Essex, but he's originally from the former

Yugoslavia. His car was found in the early hours of this morning in a

residential street in Dover. That's being examined by forensic officers.

There's a fear he may have gone abroad. This is a fast manufacture

moving inquiry. The couple went missing six days before. They

searched their cottage on Friday night finding the body of a

75-year-old man believed to be Peter Stuart. He was stabbed several

times. They are still searching for Sylvia, who's 69, but they say as

the hours go by, the hopes of finding her alive are diminishing.

They have arrested a 61-year-old man in Leicester, who's believed to be

the couple's son-in-law. She's still being questioned by Suffolk Police.

Thank you very much. They are the 500-1 rank outsiders

but also the form team Northern Ireland have arrived

in France and are preparing for their first match against Poland

in Nice on Sunday. They're managed by Michael O'Neill -

a former financial adviser - This report contains flashing

images. It wasn't planned, but then

the best parties never are. This was the moment

Northern Ireland's manager knew they had qualified

for the European Championship Before flying out to France,

Michael O'Neill told me of his pride It's an incredible achievement

with a group of players, not only to qualify,

but to go there as group I think the sense of optimism

and euphoria, a little bit, in Northern Ireland,

is down to the fact that people Coach of the Year

is...we're not Brazil, we're Northern Ireland,

Michael O'Neill. Their achievement has put

O'Neill in the spotlight. His award-winning career

in management nearly didn't happen. When he retired from playing,

he became a financial advisor. That changed one day in a department

store ten years ago. We were in Edinburgh

on a Saturday afternoon, My wife and I were looking

at jumpers there for Christmas - I felt like it's Saturday afternoon,

I shouldn't be here. This isn't what I spent my life

doing Saturday afternoons. O'Neill took a partime job

at Cowdenbeath before building his reputation

at Brechin City in the When he took them into Europe

on limited resources, Northern Ireland decided

he was the man for them. They may be rank outsiders,

but O'Neill's side arrive in France as the tournament's form team

on a 12-game unbeaten run. We just go that extra

mile just for him, This is his reward

at the end of the day. Their first taste of the tournament

comes on Sunday against Poland. Ukraine and world champions

Germany are next. It's been ten years of hard work,

but it's immensely rewarding when you get the opportunity

to lead your country And if Northern Ireland continue

to defy expectations, O'Neill may struggle to stay under

the radar much longer. Children at a school in Bristol have

returned from their half-term It's a present from

the graffiti artist Banksy. Teachers and pupils

at Bridge Farm Primary were amazed to discover the painting

when they arrived this morning. Our correspondent,

Jon Kay, can explain. They didn't expect to find this when

they came back from half term, a 14-foot original Banksy in the

playground. It was seven-year-old Charlie who wrote to the

Bristol-born artist to tell him pupils have named a house after him.

What did you think when you came into school this morning and saw

that on the wall? Really amazed. Amazed? Yeah. 100 million per cent

yes, really shocked. What's your message to Banksy for doing this for

the school? Thank you. The care taker found this letter stuck to a

gutter pipe when he turned up this morning. Inside, a honourable

friend-written letter from Banksy in which he says, "Thanks for naming a

house after me. Remember, it's always easier to get forgiveness

than permission. Much love, Banksy." Teachers at Bridge Farm Primary

would normally be warning children against trespass and vandalism, but

they say this art work is inspirational and Banksy was, kind

of, invited. It's also worth a lot of money. But the school doesn't

intend to sell. A child with a burning tyre, it's not necessarily

what you'd expect to see on a playground wall. You have to

interpret art how you interpret art. The sybolism in it is for other

people to work out. We just like the fact that we have a Banksy in the

school. Normally you'd be clearing off graffiti. Yes. I was a bit

annoyed when I seen that on my wall. That's going to have to come on. OK,

there's a Banksy in the corner. Right, on the phone to the head.

This afternoon, an art lesson with a difference, but on paper, not on the

walls. The school will now cover the mural with plastic to protect it

from other graffiti artists. Time for a look at the weather.

Here's John Hammond. It's been an interesting day. Let's

reflect on it. Gloriously sunny start, with the hills reflecting

onto the lake. Blue skies and sunshine, the temperatures rocketed.

Then we saw tell-tale clouds across the Pennines, for example, and that

is symptom attic of thunder storms. They erupted into life through

northern England, Wales, the west of Northern Ireland torrential rain,

into the Highlands of Scotland. Mostly over high ground. These

storms will linger into the evening in these areas. Most other places

actually having a fine evening. And a fine night. The odd storm might

across the English Channel into south-east England by the morning.

Misty in the East Coast of Scotland. A muggy night, particularly in the

larger towns and cities. Could be an early shower across the south-east

of England. That fades away. Showers from early on across north-western

areas, Northern Ireland particularly. As the temperatures

rise, showers develop else wr. Many places will be dry and fine with

plenty of warm sunshine through the day. But don't get caught out,

because these showers will mean business, these storms. Very hit an

miss. If you catch one it could involve gusty winds, hail,

torrential rain, thunder and lightning too. Out of these storms,

in the sunshine, very warm, particularly across the more central

and eastern areas. Temperatures higher than today. A bit lower

across western parts. The odd thunder storm possible across

Northern Ireland and Scotland. Mostly over high ground but

spreading into more populated areas heading into evening time. A word of

caution, if you're on the move through tomorrow afternoon, check

out these storms. They could be quite nasty. BBC local radio will

give you all the
