A case which may shed light on the eavesdropping work of GCHQ in

Cheltenham will begin tomorrow. In the first public hearing of its

kind, the Government intelligence agency is being taken to tribunal by

Amnesty International. The campaign group says it wants to establish

whether mass communications surveillance is lawful.

It's more than a year since former CIA employee Edward Snowden claimed

intelligence agencies, including GCHQ, were gathering huge amounts of

the public's Internet usage data. Amnesty International believes its

emails have been illegally intercepted here and in the US. It

says that's in breach of the Human Rights Act.

Documented on film ` the harrowing and true story of Hung, a Vietnamese

teenager smuggled to Britain on the promise of work. This is where he

ended up. When the cannabis factory was raided, it was he who was

arrested and jailed. Of course, Hung's case isn't unique ` latest

Government figures show 1746 people were referred as victims of

trafficking in the UK last year ` that's a 47% increase on the year

before. But these are just the official statistics ? the real

extent will be much higher. The Government's new Modern Slavery Bill

aims to tackle the problem. The Home Office says it's the first of its

kind in Europe. It would introduce tougher sentencing, an

anti`trafficking commissioner, and better support for victims. It's

welcomed by campaigners ` as long as victims are at the heart of it.

There is a real desperate need that victims are identified in this

Slavery Bill. In addition to that, one of the problems is that victims

of trafficking involved in criminal industries have often been

prosecuted as criminals. So, really to recognise that victims can be

involved in criminal activities, but not to prosecute them.

Others feel it doesn't go far enough and want firms forced to

investigate whether slaves have been used to make their products.

I think businesses ought to care about whether there is slavery in

their supply chain. If that creates an additional burden or onus on them

to investigate, then that is something they have a moral

obligation to do. Whatever the detail, most welcome a

bill that does anything to tackle this evil crime.

It's been the final day of the Royal International Air Tattoo and over

the last three days 140,000 spectators have been enjoying

aircraft from 27 countries. As well as planes on the ground there was a

D`Day tribute with a special flypast of a Spitfire and Typhoon.

This time last night 1200 of you were getting ready to take to the

streets of Bristol in pink fancy dress. Well into the early hours of

this morning, women walked 10 miles across the city to raise money for

Bristol's only adult hospice, St Peter's.

We'll show pictures of the midnight walk on Points West tomorrow.

And despite the rain, they all finished!

Now onto this evening's weather ` Dan has our forecast.

Good evening. Sunshine, cloud and patchy, light rain all feature in

our forecast for the next couple of days. Tonight, generally dry

with clear spells ` we could see mist patches forming towards dawn.

A bit cooler than the last couple of nights, around 11 or 12 degrees.

Generally great to start tomorrow, with some sunshine around.

But we will see some cloud pushing in from the West, introducing some

patchy, light rain. It will feel quite warm again tomorrow.

A cloudy start on Tuesday, brightening later.

It will become increasingly warm and humid this week,

with a chance of thundery showers towards the end of the week.

That's all for now. We're back after the World Cup final at 10:50.

For now, have a very good evening.

Hello, most places are enjoying a fine end to the weekend with some

sunshine. You might be firing up the barbecue ahead of the World Cup

final but we have seen torrential storms in East Anglia and they still

have showers. They will ease but showers in Eastern Scott and into

eastern England. Elsewhere, it is dry and clear and misty and places,

and cooler, sunspots in single figures. -- some areas. 20 of

sunshine first thing but the weather will change from the West. Northern

Ireland is first to get rain in the morning and that will head into

western Scotland, quite heavy and reaching parts of western England

and Wales in the afternoon. In the East, not much. Cloud will build

across central and eastern Scotland but they -- but there will still be

sunny spells and it will feel warm. Northern Ireland, temperatures held

down by rain but it will ease by the evening but it will still be wet in

western Scotland and some of that rain will head East later in the

day. Wettest in Scotland in the West.
