0:00:23 > 0:00:25Good evening.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Three teenage boys have been killed after they were hit by a car
0:00:28 > 0:00:30in Hayes in West London.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33A man aged 28 who was in the car is under arrest in hospital.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37Police say they are investigating an altercation thought to be linked
0:00:37 > 0:00:39to this incident after the crash.
0:00:39 > 0:00:44Our correspondent Ben Ando reports.
0:00:44 > 0:00:51Friends, class mates, mourners. Three, two, one...Grieving together
0:00:51 > 0:00:54and improvised memorial for a tragedy as shocking as it was
0:00:54 > 0:00:58unexpected to mark the deaths of three teenagers struck by a speeding
0:00:58 > 0:01:04car in Hayes in Middlesex yesterday evening. The teenage boys have not
0:01:04 > 0:01:08been formally identified but have been named locally as George, Harry
0:01:08 > 0:01:13and Josh, two were 16 years old, the other 17. Earlier their families
0:01:13 > 0:01:17visited the bus stop where the boys lost their lives. Jake Webb was one
0:01:17 > 0:01:21of the first on the scene immediately after it happened.I
0:01:21 > 0:01:25seen it happen in front of me. There was a bus driver in front of us and
0:01:25 > 0:01:30he came over and said, yes, there's someone dead in the road and at that
0:01:30 > 0:01:34point I relayed that to 999 and within five minutes an ambulance
0:01:34 > 0:01:38arrived.Friends of the boys say they were walking along the pavement
0:01:38 > 0:01:43in this direction going to a party when the car struck the pavement
0:01:43 > 0:01:49about here, seconds later it hit them. The car, a will look Audi,
0:01:49 > 0:01:54then spark -- a black Audi, then came to a halt in the road, this
0:01:54 > 0:01:58image showing the force of the impact. The man who had been in the
0:01:58 > 0:02:02car was attacked on a nearby garage forecourt. Some locals say speeding
0:02:02 > 0:02:08cars on this stretch of road is nothing new.It's a 60mph road and
0:02:08 > 0:02:13cars, vehicles drive up here sometimes like it's a speed track.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18This road's busy 24-7 and if I'm honest, I'm surprised there hasn't
0:02:18 > 0:02:21been more accidents along it.Police believe two men were in the crashed
0:02:21 > 0:02:25car, and with many other teenagers heading to the same party, they're
0:02:25 > 0:02:29appealing for any witnesses to contact them. Ben An doe, BBC News,
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Hayes.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33All current rape and serious sexual assault cases in England
0:02:33 > 0:02:35and Wales are to be reviewed, following the collapse
0:02:35 > 0:02:37of several recent trials.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39The Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders said
0:02:39 > 0:02:42it was "a matter of urgency" to make sure evidence has been
0:02:42 > 0:02:43properly disclosed.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46But the Government's chief legal adviser says there's no evidence
0:02:46 > 0:02:49of "widespread malpractice or dishonesty" in the
0:02:49 > 0:02:51prosecution system.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Clive Coleman reports.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Disclosure of evidence in some recent highly publicised rape cases
0:02:57 > 0:03:01has gone badly wrong, but how widespread is the problem?
0:03:01 > 0:03:05In December, Liam Allen's trial for rape and sexual assault
0:03:05 > 0:03:09collapsed when it emerged evidence on a computer disc which police
0:03:09 > 0:03:13examined showed messages from the alleged victim
0:03:13 > 0:03:17pestering him for casual sex.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20And the number of prosecutions in England and Wales that collapsed
0:03:20 > 0:03:24because of a failure by police or prosecutors to disclose evidence
0:03:24 > 0:03:28has increased by 70% in the last two years.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Now, the Director of Public Prosecutions,
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Alison Saunders, has ordered an urgent review of all rape
0:03:36 > 0:03:39and sexual assault cases
0:03:39 > 0:03:43and conceded it's likely a number will be dropped.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45One of the major problems is the amount of digital evidence
0:03:45 > 0:03:47on phones and social media.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51It's very apparent that in some cases, mistakes have been made that
0:03:51 > 0:03:53simply shouldn't have been.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57It's important that when you look at that kind of case,
0:03:57 > 0:03:59that the prosecutors and the investigators look
0:03:59 > 0:04:03at social media traffic, look at text messages that have past
0:04:03 > 0:04:05between the two individuals, because they can put
0:04:05 > 0:04:08what's happened in a very significant different light.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10A national disclosure improvement plan has been published.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15It includes a review of disclosure training,
0:04:15 > 0:04:19developing a group of specialists in every police force
0:04:19 > 0:04:23and all multi-media evidence to be provided to the defence digitally.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28Yesterday here, a people trafficking case, not a rape
0:04:28 > 0:04:32or sexual assault trial, collapsed because prosecutors failed
0:04:32 > 0:04:36to disclose critical evidence to the defence.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41The judge has demanded an urgent explanation in a case made even more
0:04:41 > 0:04:45shocking by the fact that one of the young female defendants
0:04:45 > 0:04:48was held in prison for 13 months during which time she gave birth.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50This problem is systemic and endemic throughout
0:04:50 > 0:04:51the criminal justice system.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55It's been known about for many years and it's as a result of chronic
0:04:55 > 0:04:59underfunding of the police, the prosecution service
0:04:59 > 0:05:01and particularly the defence lawyers who've suffered years of cuts
0:05:01 > 0:05:03of legal aid.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07If public confidence in our fair trial system is to be maintained,
0:05:07 > 0:05:10fixing disclosure is now the criminal justice
0:05:10 > 0:05:15system's biggest challenge.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18A bomb in the Afghan capital Kabul has left 95 people dead
0:05:18 > 0:05:20and more than 150 injured.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23The Taliban say they carried out the attack.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27An emergency vehicle, packed with explosives,
0:05:27 > 0:05:29was blown up at a checkpoint.
0:05:29 > 0:05:37From Kabul, Zia Shahreyar reports.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39An ambulance packed with explosives driven into crowds
0:05:39 > 0:05:42on their way to work.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45The force of the blast shook the windows off buildings
0:05:45 > 0:05:47at least a mile away.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Some lower rising structures collapse.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52A plume of smoke visible across the city.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55The attacker had driven his vehicle past the police checkpoint,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58claiming to have a patient inside.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01When guards at a second checkpoint became suspicious,
0:06:01 > 0:06:04he detonated the bomb.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07TRANSLATION:I was in an armoured plated vehicle when suddenly
0:06:07 > 0:06:08there was an explosion.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11I was in the back seat, my driver was blown out
0:06:11 > 0:06:14on to the ground and injured.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17The area of the attack is home to foreign embassies and the city's
0:06:17 > 0:06:19police headquarters.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21The road had been closed to public transport.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26The Taliban claimed responsibility.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30This is their second deadly assault on the city in the space of a week.
0:06:30 > 0:06:3320 people were killed in an attack on the
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Intercontinental Hotel last week.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38This evening, work was continuing to clear the scene
0:06:38 > 0:06:42of the latest bombing.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46This is a very secure area and security is very tight
0:06:46 > 0:06:48here usually and the question will be how they got
0:06:48 > 0:06:50through this far.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53The Afghan military, backed by US air power,
0:06:53 > 0:06:55has intensified its campaign to drive out the Taliban
0:06:55 > 0:06:57from its rural strongholds.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01But, as today's strike proves, they're still able to mount deadly
0:07:01 > 0:07:03attacks against civilian targets in the heart of the
0:07:03 > 0:07:06country's major cities.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Homes and businesses in Paris are on high alert as the River Seine
0:07:13 > 0:07:15threatens to overflow its banks.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Weeks of rain have pushed the water level up and its thought the River
0:07:18 > 0:07:20will peak six metres above normal.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Museums including the Louvre have been shut.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27In smaller towns along the Seine, people are having to use boats
0:07:27 > 0:07:29to get around flooded streets.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33One of the world's richest men who was held for two months
0:07:33 > 0:07:35by the Saudi authorities in an anti-corruption
0:07:35 > 0:07:37drive, has been freed.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Prince Alwaleed bin Talal was one of 200 princes,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43politicians and wealthy businessmen detained in a crackdown.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45They were held at a luxury hotel in Riyadh.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Its believed a financial settlement was agreed in return
0:07:48 > 0:07:54for the Prince's release.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki has won her first tennis Grand Slam
0:07:56 > 0:07:59title after beating Simona Halep in a thrilling three sets
0:07:59 > 0:08:01at the Australian Open.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Victory in Melbourne means Wozniacki returns to number 1
0:08:03 > 0:08:04in the World rankings.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09Adam Wild reports.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13There are few stages in the game more spectacular than Melbourne and
0:08:13 > 0:08:17the welcome could scarcely have been more fitting.The winner takes it
0:08:17 > 0:08:21all... The world's top two toe-to-toe Down
0:08:21 > 0:08:26Under, the final already had all the sparkle it needed, a match worth the
0:08:26 > 0:08:30wait, the wait is something with which was was and Halep are all too
0:08:30 > 0:08:36familiar with. Neither had won a Grand Slam before, this was
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Wozniacki's 4 III attempt. She started like a player not prepared
0:08:39 > 0:08:45to wait any longer. Halep too is battle hardened, forcing a tie-break
0:08:45 > 0:08:48before finally seeing it slip away. A moment for her to stay calm, keep
0:08:48 > 0:08:53her cool, not easy in the blistering evening heat. Still, somehow she
0:08:53 > 0:09:00managed, fighting back to level the match. The foamtures now becoming

0:09:38 > 0:09:44Slam champion, she becomes world number one, a winner who today took
0:09:44 > 0:09:45it all.
