has his sentence for sex offences doubled to 30 months.

Hall watched court proceedings via video link from prison. His victims

had argued his original sentence was too lenient. He himself has and

never uttered anything that says, I am sorry for what idea do, I am

sorry for the hurt. -- for what I did.

And the judges criticised how Hall had added to his victims' distress

by accusing them of lying when he had known he was guilty.

The broadcaster Stuart Hall has had his prison sentence for sex offences

doubled to 30 months at the Court of Appeal. The case was referred by the

Attorney General after complaints that the original sentence was

"unduly lenient". Hall admitted 14 counts of indecent assault against

girls as young as nine between 1967 and 1987. The judge said the

presenter had "got away with it for decades and lived a lie more than

half his life". Tom Symonds has more.

He used to be one of TV's friendliest faces. Today, he

appeared on the screen of a prison video link. Stuart Hall showed no

reaction to the doubling of his sentence. Once, he had the glow of

celebrity. The Lord Chief Justice Lord Judge described him as a man of

power, authority and influence who breached the trust his young victims

would have had in him, one reason for the increased sentence. Jane,

not her real name, had to fight off Hall as he tried to get into her

hotel room when she was 24. Had he gained access, I have never been in

any doubt that he would have raped me. She welcomes the longer sentence

but most of all she wants him to meet his victims. He himself has

never uttered anything that says, I am sorry for what I did, for the

hurt and the long-term damage, and in some instances psychological

impact that he had had. In fact, before pleading guilty, he said

this. The allegations are pernicious and callous and cruel, and above all

spurious. That statement, a second reason for the longer sentence. The

judge said Hall was an expert in the use of the media, alert to the

possible advantages of manipulating it. Reason number three, according

to the attorney general, who made the case in court for increasing the

sentence, the sheer length of his predatory behaviour. This carried on

over 20 years, involving multiple victims. There were arguments that

some of the offences should run consecutively, following on from the

previous one, and that is what the Lord Chief Justice agreed. Anyone

can ask for an appeal against a sentence. In 2012, the courts heard

82 appeals and in 62 cases the sentence was increased. But Hall's

sentence could not exceed the maximum in place at the time of the

offences, five-year is until the mid-80s. Under current guidelines,

you could have received up to ten years, but that would mean changing

the law. Some might agree with that. Why should he have the benefit of

getting away with these offences for so many years and living the life

that he did, and then have the benefit of being sentenced under the

old regime, which has resulted in an otherwise lighter sentence? This

case is likely to be significant, given that more historical sexual

offences could come to court in the wake of the Jimmy Savile affair,

more celebrities facing up to their actions in the past. And it does

seem as though they cannot expect the courts to be lenient.

Spanish police have arrested the driver of the train which crashed

outside Santiago de Compostela on Wednesday on suspicion of

recklessness. 78 people are now known to have died when the train

derailed, not 80 as previously thought. 90 others remain in

hospital, many in a critical condition. The first funeral for the

victims took place this afternoon. This report from Christian Fraser

contains images you may find disturbing, including of the moment

of the crash. They held the first funeral

tonight. The first of many. And there were hundreds who came to pay

their respects. The dead man was 40 years old. On Wednesday, he was

travelling to his rather's wedding. His girlfriend was sitting next to

him, and she survived. -- he was travelling to his brother's wedding.

It is too early to apportion blame, but the leads from the investigation

point largely in one direction, to the driver, name row. He has 30

years experience of the railways. The train operator says he has to go

she hated the bend on which he crashed over 60 times. -- he has

negotiated the bend. The brakes should have been applied long before

the tunnel but they were not. He is suspected of dangerous driving. At

the hospital where police waits to question the driver, a British

survivor remains in a critical condition. So does the wife of this

man from Houston, Texas. They were picking and choosing, because that

is the reality. And part of it was that there were people dying around

us. They probably saw that my wife had a chance, or something.

Eventually - I know it felt like a long time, but after five minutes or

so, she was hauled into one of the ambulances. I went with her. Another

survivor remembers very little, except the moment the train began to

tip. Literally, the coach just turned over. And then I felt a

strong hurt in my head and I lost a bit my consciousness. That is all.

At the track-side, they have been taking away more wreckage. It is

being transferred to a stockyard wear crash investigators continue

their work. To that end, footage from the track-side camera, as hard

as it is to watch, will provide vital clues. Watching the violence

of the impact, it is no surprise so many were killed. This is the first

of three days of national mourning in Spain, but no city will feel it

more than Santiago de Compostela. They were preparing for a big annual

fiesta here, but the travelling funfair is deserted. The party is

cancelled. They have been told to pack up and leave before the

weekend. But the railway has reopened, and throughout the day,

trains have lumbered slowly past the ill-fated engine on the adjacent

track. Hundreds of thousands of supporters

and opponents of Egypt's ousted president Mohamed Morsi have taken

to the streets of Cairo again in a trial of strength over the country's

future. And five protestors have been killed in fighting in the city

of Alexandria. Quentin Somerville is in Cairo.

Ahead of -- the head of Egypt's Army asked the people for a mandate, and

here in Cairo he has received the mandate, but the feelings of support

are not universal. Huge crowds have gathered in Tahrir Square. An

enormous show of support for the military, who helped to oust

President Morsi. But feelings in Cairo and across Egypt are far from

universal. When the Egyptian army called for

the people to take to the street, it said it was to rid the country of

terrorism. In Alexandria, it meant violence today. This man fires what

appears to be bird shot at Mohamed Morsi's supporters. With tear gas,

the army intervenes to separate both sides. At least five died these

clashes. In Cairo, the military got the mandate it had demanded, a

massive show of support from the people as they seek to finish what

they are calling a second revolution. I am here because of the

Army. The general is the hero of Egypt, yes. The Army is the only

organisation in Egypt that supports Egypt. But for supporters of the

ousted president, Egypt is now under military rule.

And here are tens of thousands of Mohamed Morsi's supporters on the

move. Both sides in Egypt's crisis are trying to settle the dispute

with a massive show of force on the street.

Egypt's grief deepens every day the crisis goes on. This woman's

daughter was shot dead as they attended a rally for President

Morsi. She was just 18. She blames the military for the attack.

TRANSLATION: Did I want my daughter to die? Of course not. My daughter

is very precious to me, but so is Egypt. Our youth are dying, and for

what? For what, General? Why are you killing our youth? It was outside

Cairo University that she died in her mother's arms. It is not known

who was behind the attack. More blood spilled in this says. Six

people were killed here. Tonight, on the roads leading to Tahrir Square,

the crowds celebrated as their army put on a show, but this is a city

and country divided. For now, violence and confrontation is all

that Egypt has to offer. So today was a showdown, where Egypt's

history was said to be decided. That has not happened. Both sides wanted

either a revolution to finish, or for a coup to be ended. We have seen

today is the crisis continuing, and more violence.

Magistrates in northern France have announced that the former head of

the International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, will stand

trial accused of pimping. Mr Strauss Kahn, who's 64, has already admitted

attending sex parties at a hotel in Lille, but claims he was not aware

that the women there were prostitutes.

Some departments at Wales' biggest hospital have been branded

dangerous, with patients left to die while on waiting lists for heart

surgery, and that's according to surgeons. 2,000 operations at the

University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff were either postponed or

cancelled in the first three months of this year due to a lack of beds.

Hywel Griffith reports. Life changing treatment that should

be routine, but that Wales' largest hospital, so many operations have

been cancelled that its surgeons say patients are regularly dying on the

waiting list. They warn that others are clearly coming to harm. Many

services, they say, have almost completely failed. The pressure

became clear on a routine visit by the Royal College of Surgeons. It

found its members at raking point. They were very frustrated, and as a

group they were expressing very clearly that they thought the

current situation was unsustainable and something had to be done.

1000 cardiac operations are meant to take base here each year, but in

recent years there has been a series of postponements and delays. Last

year, 51-year-old Susan Watkins was due to have heart surgery at the

hospital. Her family say she died with convocations, including cardiac

failure, while waiting to have operations scheduled. I find it

disgusting. You put your trust into the NHS. You think you are going to

be looked after and the outcome is that some people are dying from lack

of care. The problems spilled out in the report do not end with cardiac

surgery. It talks about pressure on paediatric treatment, as well,

claiming some children have to make do with hearing aids, instead of

having operations to insert grommet tubes into their ears. Managers of

the University health board say the problems are down to the volume of

emergency admissions. They say 12 people have died waiting for cardiac

surgery in the last 15 months. They have issued a public apology.

think it is frankly not acceptable, and we are completely committed to

sorting this out. And I would say that the teams that work inside, the

surgeons, anaesthetists, everybody, we all agree this is to get better.

The pressure on the health service in Wales is not unique. Across the

UK, more people are arriving at emergency units, putting strain

through the system. Some are now finding it unable to cope. A man

wealthy women captive in his home in Cleveland has pleaded guilty. Ariel

Castro will spend the rest of us life in prison. He abducted Michelle

Knight, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus between 2002 and 2004. He

was charged with 977 counts, including two of aggravated murder

for the unlawful termination of a pregnancy, as well as multiple

counts of kidnap. Under the terms of the plea-bargain, the prosecution

have called for a prison sentence of 1000 years. Here is Washington

correspondent Jonny Dymond. The phone call that Elektra fide

nation, the end of a dark decade of captivity. I have been missing for

ten years, I am free now. She had been held with another teenager and

a young woman in this house in Cleveland. Each had been taken from

the street and then had years of their lives taken from them, chained

up, beaten and raped. One had five miscarriages, another bore her

captive's child. Today, in court, the Kaptur, captive. Ariel Castro

pleaded guilty to avoid the death penalty. The deal was a life in

prison with no chance of release. you believe you are to be leased

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has described the revelation

that the Church of England investing directly in the payday lending

company, bee as an embarrassment. The link emerged after he announced

he wanted to put the high cost loan industry out of business.

Archbishop Welby had spoken from the moral high ground. He said he would

compete the money lenders and their excessive interest rates out of

existence. Then came the revelation of the Church's own indirect

investment in company and acute embarrassment for its leader.

does not alter what we think about the situation or our commitment to

build the credit union movement and alternative sources of community

finance in deprived areas, but it is not what I would have liked to have

found out. Saint Luke's in south-east London, which already

provides a food bank, is among thousands of Anglican churches that

could now housed credit unions. Anglicans would offer their

expertise, too. Saint Mary's in Kennington has already volunteered

its premises for the scheme. The credit unions camping out in charges

like this one would charge rates of interest which would once have

seemed excessive, but that is what the events of the last couple of

days have revealed - a Church that no longer wants to stick to moral

absolutes but want to live in the real world with its messy

compromises. If that is what it takes to help the poor and

oppressed. The Church has admitted that its own hugely successful

investments are morally complex. It has assets of roughly �5.2 billion,

most of it in shares and property. But some goes into investment

companies, and that is how �75,000 of Church money found its way to

Wonga. Much larger amounts are invested in companies like Shell and

Glaxo Smith Kline. The Church's rules allow it to invest in

companies with limited involvement in tobacco, gambling, alcohol and

even pornography, although this might mean investing in a hotel

chain that allows customers to watch adult channels. It is very difficult

indeed to find 100% good companies. In fact, arguably, there are none.

And so really within ethical investment it is all about shades of

grey. There are no blacks or whites, and we have to make judgments.

Church has its Ten Commandments. Today, Wonga responded to the

intense focus on public service by issuing its own moral code. The

company says it would welcome competition. It is a challenge that

Archbishop Welby remains determined to meet.

Renewable energy has been one of Scotland's success stories, creating

economic growth and jobs. Ministers in London warning that if Scotland

vote for independence, the UK wide subsidies that support the industry

might be reduced. The Scottish National is say that England will

need its renewable energy to keep the lights on. Special correspondent

Allan Little reports from Nigg on the Cromarty Firth.

Across Scotland, there is vibrant new life in old industry. This

Marine services company at Nigg on the Cromarty Firth, built to service

North Sea oil rigs, have fallen into disuse. Mothballed for years. Until

now. Nigg is thriving again. These skills and expertise of the oil

industry are being adapted to a new purpose, capturing energy out at sea

from the wind. We have probably about 700 people working on the site

at the moment. We think, with a fair wind and a push on renewables and

oil and gas, we could maybe have 2000 people working here by the end

of 2014. 38% of Scottish energy already comes from renewables, �1.5

billion was invested last year alone. The Scottish government

believes Scotland can become the Saudi Arabia of clean, green energy.

Scotland is officially the windiest country in Europe. It also has an

abundance of vast, uninhabited, windswept spaces, so you come to a

place like this and see the enormous potential of the thing. The

challenge is to make it commercially viable, because as things stand, all

of this depends on a huge and very generous public subsidy. The tiny

parish of Udny near Aberdeen has bought its own wind turbine. They

spend the profit on community programmes, tennis courts, equipment

for the local school. Would a yes vote in the referendum jeopardise

that subsidy, as UK ministers suggest? It is a concern we have

got, knowing what will hurt the subsidies, because just now it makes

quite a large percentage of the income of the turbine. The subsidy

is called the feed in tariff. It is paid by everyone in the UK who pays

an electricity bill. If Scotland chose independence, would energy

supplies south of the border really stop buying clean energy generated

here? There is a very serious risk that the lights will go out in

England in 2015-16. That is the real debate. How can we avert that

dreadful possibility, dreadful possibility? Only by the importation

of energy from Scotland in large quantities. A yes vote in next year

would not change the simple facts that much of the renewable energy is

in Scotland and most of the demand for it is in England. In whose

interests would be to let all this One year ago today the opening

ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games was held, the start of 19 days

of Olympic fever and an extraordinary sum of achievement for

British sport. Tonight these Beijing -- the stadium is back in action,

and Usain Bolt has shown that he still has winning form. David Bond

is at the Olympic Park, quite a race!

You know, a lot has changed in the last 12 months, we have a new royal

baby, a British winner of Wimbledon, even the economy is showing a few

signs of life, but to be back here tonight in this Stadium, with 60,000

people, it felt like the clock had been turned back.

We thought we had seen the last of this, but tonight, almost exactly

one year on, London once again felt main attraction - Usain Bolt, back

on the stage where he won three gold medals. Sprinting has been hit by a

wave of drugs controversy of late, but not of that has reduced Bolt's

unique appeal. He came here struggling for form, but there were

no such problems tonight. Usain Bolt finally gets to the front, that is

more like it! It is just wonderful, it felt great, I was so excited,

happy to be here again, so I am just happy, I had a bad start! But it did

not spoil my raise, more races will get the better, so it is OK.

all-too-familiar Olympic rush started just after five, with tens

of thousands of streaming onto the park for another glimpse of their

heroes. Tickets for the Anniversary Games sold out in just over an hour.

I think the Olympic legacy is a massive part of it, everyone has

still got a buzz. It is my first time coming to the site, I wanted to

experience the Anniversary Games. You only have to see the size of the

crowds to realise that, one year on, the users and to relive London

2012 and to be here on the Olympic Park is as big as ever. -- the

enthusiasm. Even the Mayor of London was caught off guard. I think it is

just wonderful, and you never know how it is going to go, you never

know how it will catch people, and perhaps we shouldn't have been

surprised because we were surprised last year. This is what people will

see a few years from now, the Olympic Park transformed by new

homes and green spaces. Inevitably, much of the talk over the last few

days has been about the legacy from London 2012, but tonight was not

about the future - it was about revelling in the past.

One of the big legacy promises was to take athletics to a new level

with bigger crowds and much higher profile. Tonight has been a very
