0:00:23 > 0:00:26Good afternoon.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29The new Conservative Party chairman
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Brandon Lewis has told the BBC the government is doing
0:00:32 > 0:00:34everything it can to ensure the serial sex offender
0:00:34 > 0:00:38John Worboys stays in jail.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42The former black cab driver was jailed in 2009 for drugging
0:00:42 > 0:00:45and sexually assaulting 12 women, but police believe he may
0:00:45 > 0:00:46have committed more than 100 attacks.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50The government is considering a judicial review into
0:00:50 > 0:00:52the parole board's decision to release him.
0:00:52 > 0:01:00Here's our home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03He is known as the black cab rapist.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06John Worboys is believed to have drugged and sexually assaulted
0:01:06 > 0:01:08more than 100 women, yet the parole board has decided
0:01:08 > 0:01:11that after ten years in custody it is safe for him to be released.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14He's due out by the end of the month.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16The government wants to stop that happening and is looking
0:01:16 > 0:01:18at the possibility of legal action.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Anybody out there will appreciate just how awful this must
0:01:21 > 0:01:23be for victims, to see what is happening, to think
0:01:23 > 0:01:26about somebody like that being out on the streets.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29I think it's absolutely right that the Secretary of State
0:01:29 > 0:01:32for Justice will be doing everything he can to make sure this
0:01:32 > 0:01:36man stays behind bars.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38The Justice Secretary is David Gauke.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40He's been in the post for less than a week.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43He has asked lawyers to look at whether it is plausible
0:01:43 > 0:01:45to contest the decision in the courts and if there
0:01:45 > 0:01:47is a good chance of success.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Opposition MPs welcome the move.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50I think that the public are completely bewildered that
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Warboys is being released as early as he is.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57He is a serious criminal and a threat to women,
0:01:57 > 0:02:01and I don't think that his victims - nor, frankly, the majority of women
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- are going to be convinced that he doesn't continue to be
0:02:04 > 0:02:07a threat to us.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10It would be highly unusual for the government to launch a legal
0:02:10 > 0:02:14challenge against a decision made by an organisation they are
0:02:14 > 0:02:16responsible for and if they do bring judicial review proceedings
0:02:16 > 0:02:21against the parole board, there is no guarantee of success.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25We do know that the bar for judicial review claims is set very high.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27You can't simply take a case to court because you
0:02:27 > 0:02:29don't like the outcome.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32It has to be unlawful for some reason or another.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34So we will wait and see.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37In the meantime, victims of John Worboys are being consulted
0:02:37 > 0:02:40on what conditions he will have to comply with when he is let out.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Some are concerned that the serial sex offender will try
0:02:43 > 0:02:46to track them down.
0:02:46 > 0:02:47Danny Shaw is here.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52Where does this case go from here?
0:02:52 > 0:02:56I think events are going to move very quickly because the clock is
0:02:56 > 0:03:01ticking. It is going to be two weeks before John Worboys is due to be let
0:03:01 > 0:03:05out. If the government wants to stop that happening, it is going to have
0:03:05 > 0:03:08to get its advice quickly from the lawyers it is consulting and make a
0:03:08 > 0:03:13decision about whether to bring a legal challenge. So I expect them to
0:03:13 > 0:03:17make a decision within the next few days. In the meantime, lawyers for
0:03:17 > 0:03:20some of the victims concerned have also been considering judicial
0:03:20 > 0:03:24review proceedings. There are two possible tracks, one from the
0:03:24 > 0:03:28government and one coming from the lawyers for the victims. It is not
0:03:28 > 0:03:32simple just to bring a legal challenge and for the court just to
0:03:32 > 0:03:36accept it. It is not enough to say we simply don't like this decision.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41Basically the court would have to decide in order to stop this
0:03:41 > 0:03:43happening that the release was completely irrational or there was
0:03:43 > 0:03:47something wrong with the process by which the decision was arrived at.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51That is a high bar, as lawyers have said, so there is absolutely no
0:03:51 > 0:03:54guarantee that it will succeed. In the meantime there is a possibility
0:03:54 > 0:03:58that the court might decide to stop John Worboys being released what
0:03:58 > 0:04:02they make a decision on whether to allow the judicial review.Danny,
0:04:02 > 0:04:06thank you very much. Danny Shaw.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08There are talks today aimed at saving
0:04:08 > 0:04:09the construction company Carillion.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12The firm, which is a key government contractor, has huge debts
0:04:12 > 0:04:13and a big pension deficit.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15The government says ministers are keeping a very close
0:04:15 > 0:04:16eye on the situation.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Our business correspondent Joe Lynam joins me from the Cabinet Office
0:04:19 > 0:04:23in central London.
0:04:23 > 0:04:31What is the latest on these talks? Good afternoon. I think the Cabinet
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Office, with all its scaffolding, is a perfect metaphor, don't you think,
0:04:35 > 0:04:39for the health of the Carillion finances? People have been coming
0:04:39 > 0:04:44into and out of the building all morning, key people. We saw the
0:04:44 > 0:04:48permanent secretary going in. Why are outside the Cabinet Office?
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Because Carillion have so much work in so many contracts in all arms of
0:04:52 > 0:04:56government that it all needs to be coordinated by the Cabinet Office.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Why are we here? Because they need to make sure that everything will
0:05:00 > 0:05:05work fine if, and it is a big if, Carillion collapses. Schools need to
0:05:05 > 0:05:10continue to be maintained, and so do prisons and hospitals etc etc. What
0:05:10 > 0:05:14they are working on is a contingency plan in the eventuality there are
0:05:14 > 0:05:19issues that cannot be resolved at Carillion. Separately, I understand
0:05:19 > 0:05:24there may be meetings between the company and the banks today, in the
0:05:24 > 0:05:28hopes of finding a solution. If they can't find one, the company could
0:05:28 > 0:05:31file for administration as early as tomorrow morning.Thank you, Joe
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Lynam.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Ukip has suspended the girlfriend of its party
0:05:36 > 0:05:38leader, Henry Bolton, after she apparently made racist
0:05:38 > 0:05:43remarks about Prince Harry's fiancee Meghan Markle.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47The Mail On Sunday has published text messages sent
0:05:47 > 0:05:50by Jo Marney that include derogatory comments about Ms Markle and people
0:05:50 > 0:05:52from ethnic minorities.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54She has apologised but said the messages had been
0:05:54 > 0:05:58taken out of context.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Police in East Yorkshire say a man who died after an attack
0:06:01 > 0:06:04at his home near Driffield may have been shot with a crossbow.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Officers say they want to speak to 55-year-old
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Anthony Lawrence in connection with the incident.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Shane Gilmer was attacked on Friday night at his home
0:06:12 > 0:06:13in the village of Southburn.
0:06:13 > 0:06:21A woman was also injured.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23More than 150 passengers and crew had a lucky escape
0:06:23 > 0:06:26when their plane skidded off a runway in Turkey and plunged
0:06:26 > 0:06:28down a steep slope.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31The nose of the Boeing 737 came to rest just a few
0:06:31 > 0:06:32metres from the Black Sea.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Andy Moore reports.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39The accident happened in the darkness last night.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42It was only in the daylight this morning that it became apparent
0:06:42 > 0:06:46how close to disaster the plane had come.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50The Pegasus flight from Ankara skidded off the runway in wet
0:06:50 > 0:06:53conditions and down a steep slope, with its nose coming to rest just
0:06:53 > 0:06:59metres from the sea.
0:06:59 > 0:07:05One of the engines detached from the wing and ended up in the water.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08These pictures from on board the plane show the understandable
0:07:08 > 0:07:11panic and confusion.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Passengers had to clamber up an incline towards the rear
0:07:13 > 0:07:16of the plane to get out.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20162 passengers and six crew were on board.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Some people were taken to hospital as a precaution
0:07:23 > 0:07:26but nobody was injured.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31The airport was closed for a while last night but has
0:07:31 > 0:07:34reopened this morning.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39Theories about the cause of the incident include a bird
0:07:39 > 0:07:42strike or ice on the runway but the governor of Trabzon said
0:07:42 > 0:07:43it was still under investigation.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45This was a lucky escape for passengers on this plane.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Last year was the safest ever for commercial aviation.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51There were around 4 billion journeys made last year and not a single
0:07:51 > 0:07:52passenger jet crashed.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57Andy Moore, BBC News.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01The magazine publisher Conde Nast has said it has suspended
0:08:01 > 0:08:04working with two of the world's leading fashion photographers,
0:08:04 > 0:08:09after they were accused of sexually exploiting male models.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14Lawyers for Mario Testino, who is known for photographing
0:08:14 > 0:08:20the royal family, said the accusations
0:08:20 > 0:08:23in the New York Times newspaper had not come from reliable sources.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Bruce Weber has also denied the allegations against him.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28The Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg has given
0:08:28 > 0:08:31the money he earned for re-shooting scenes in the film
0:08:31 > 0:08:34All The Money In The World to a fund that supports people
0:08:34 > 0:08:37who have experienced sexual harassment.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40The scenes had to be filmed again after Kevin Spacey
0:08:40 > 0:08:41was dropped from the project following sexual
0:08:41 > 0:08:44assault allegations.
0:08:44 > 0:08:51It then emerged that Mr Wahlberg was paid more than £1 million
0:08:51 > 0:08:52for the re-shoot while his co-star,
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Michelle Williams, received just £60 a day in expenses.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59England have won the first one-day international against Australia.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03It follows a disappointing Ashes series which they lost 4-0.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07They took the match in Melbourne by five wickets.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Jason Roy hit a record 180, the highest by an England
0:09:09 > 0:09:11player in a one-day game.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13This was the first in a five-match series.
0:09:13 > 0:09:20Adam Wild reports.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24For English cricket, a time to rebuild, recover,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26restore some respect and some reputations.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30A fresh start, then, and it soon became a rather
0:09:30 > 0:09:30good one for England.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Early wickets falling.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36But this is Australia and, after dominating all winter,
0:09:36 > 0:09:40they weren't about to go easy on their old rivals.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42A century from Aaron Finch helping them towards a total of 304.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45In days gone by, such targets were imposing.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Now, for this England one-day side, it was merely inviting.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Jason Roy taking up the challenge with the kind of relish missed
0:09:52 > 0:09:54by England in recent months.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Brilliantly belligerent, he bludgeoned his way
0:09:55 > 0:09:59to a magnificent 100.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Taking the game away from Australia, the highest ever one-day
0:10:02 > 0:10:05innings by an Englishman.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08180 for Roy, and the damage was done.
0:10:08 > 0:10:09Joe Root, for once, the support act.
0:10:09 > 0:10:1391 from him.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16The win, when it came, comfortable and, for English
0:10:16 > 0:10:20cricket, could scarcely have been more welcome.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Adam Wild, BBC News.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24You can see more on all of today's stories
0:10:24 > 0:10:25on the BBC News Channel.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28The next news on BBC One is at 6:05pm.
0:10:28 > 0:10:36Bye for now.
