:00:00. > :00:00.England. In a BBC exclusive, Claire tonight. That is all from us, we can

:00:00. > :00:10.now join the BBC News teams where you are. Tonight on BBC London News:

:00:11. > :00:16.The victims of a serial rapist win the right to sue The Met Police for

:00:17. > :00:21.failures in the investigation. It is clear now that it was not my

:00:22. > :00:23.fault, it was the fault of the police. The blame is laid at their

:00:24. > :00:26.feet, not mine. The ruling could have implications

:00:27. > :00:29.on how all police forces investigate sexual assaults.

:00:30. > :00:38.Also tonight: London detectives in an international crackdown on

:00:39. > :00:43.financial fraudsters. It will be an all`out war. We will

:00:44. > :00:47.be meeting with our comrades shortly and we will be running a joint

:00:48. > :00:49.campaign. We are not having drivers of the trains.

:00:50. > :00:52.The prospect of more Tube strikes after a warning from union leaders

:00:53. > :00:55.over driverless trains. It treated thousands of First World

:00:56. > :00:56.War soldiers ` the story of the London military hospital run

:00:57. > :01:12.entirely by women. Good evening and welcome to the

:01:13. > :01:15.programme. Victims of a serial rapist have won

:01:16. > :01:21.the right to sue The Met Police for failing to investigate their attacks

:01:22. > :01:25.properly. For six years, taxi driver John Worboys carried out a string of

:01:26. > :01:31.sexual assaults. It's believed he attacked more than 100 women. Today,

:01:32. > :01:34.the High Court ruled that two of his victims can sue police for

:01:35. > :01:37.compensation. The decision could have implications for all police

:01:38. > :01:46.forces in the UK, as our political correspondent Karl Mercer reports.

:01:47. > :01:51.For years, John Worboys would pick up women in his black cab, then make

:01:52. > :01:54.up a story about a gambling win and ask them to share a drink with him.

:01:55. > :01:59.But the drinks were drugged and it is believed he went on to rape or

:02:00. > :02:03.assault over 100 women. He is now behind bars, jailed indefinitely,

:02:04. > :02:07.but the case remains a difficult one for the Metropolitan Police. It

:02:08. > :02:12.failed time and again to stop Worboys. I remember him pulling over

:02:13. > :02:16.and getting into the back of the cab with me, and that's all I remember

:02:17. > :02:21.until I woke up in hospital the next morning. The words of one of his

:02:22. > :02:25.victims, who with another woman, won a judgement against The Met under

:02:26. > :02:28.the human rights act. The judge, Mr Justice Green, said he had

:02:29. > :02:32.identified a series of systemic failings which went to the heart of

:02:33. > :02:36.the failure of the police to apprehend Worboys and cut short his

:02:37. > :02:41.five or six years free of violent attacks. Among the shortcomings, he

:02:42. > :02:46.said failures to interview vital witnesses, to collect key evidence,

:02:47. > :02:52.to follow up on CCTV, to prepare properly for interviews. The fact

:02:53. > :02:55.that he dropped me at the police station, unconscious, and nobody had

:02:56. > :03:01.even bothered to take his details, was quite shocking to me and I was

:03:02. > :03:05.quite upset. I asked them, did you get his name, his registration

:03:06. > :03:11.number, any details from him? They admitted they had not taken details

:03:12. > :03:13.from him. The judgement will mean compensation for these women but

:03:14. > :03:19.could also have they given occasions for the police in future. One of the

:03:20. > :03:21.issues about this case is police response ability and liability and

:03:22. > :03:27.where is the boundary in relation to that. Obviously, the judgement has

:03:28. > :03:31.been issued and we need to go away and think about that judgement,

:03:32. > :03:36.understand the implications, may be wider than London and wider than

:03:37. > :03:40.rape, and then decide a course of action. It is possible The Met will

:03:41. > :03:44.appeal the decision. Scotland Yard did apologise again to the victims

:03:45. > :03:45.of John Worboys that it let down so badly.

:03:46. > :03:49.The BBC's legal affairs correspondent Clive Coleman joins me

:03:50. > :03:57.now. And, Clive, I gather the implications of this ruling could be

:03:58. > :04:01.quite far reaching? They could be. The law used to be that the police

:04:02. > :04:05.did not owe members of the public and actionable duty of care. You

:04:06. > :04:10.could not sue them as a victim of crime. This judgement shows how the

:04:11. > :04:13.human rights act has changed that. Under Article three of the human

:04:14. > :04:20.rights act the judge has found that the police do over victims a duty of

:04:21. > :04:24.care, in particularly serious, violent cases, to carry out a timely

:04:25. > :04:30.and efficient investigation. In this case, the judge found there were

:04:31. > :04:33.systemic errors which, instead of stopping John Worboys, allowed his

:04:34. > :04:37.offending to go on for some six years. So the real indication of

:04:38. > :04:40.this is not that anyone who feels they are on the receiving end of a

:04:41. > :04:45.failing in a police investigation can bring action for damages, but

:04:46. > :04:48.certainly people who feel they were a victim of a serious or a sexual

:04:49. > :04:52.crime where there were systemic errors within the police

:04:53. > :04:56.investigation, now they can bring an action for damages, whereas

:04:57. > :05:00.previously they couldn't. That could open up the floodgates, perhaps, but

:05:01. > :05:03.certainly it could open up the opportunity for other victims to

:05:04. > :05:07.come forward and bring actions against the police. That, I think,

:05:08. > :05:10.is why they are saying they have to think about this judgement very

:05:11. > :05:18.carefully. Thank you very much. More to come, including: we have

:05:19. > :05:20.gone into the record books, for Great Britain are the Olympic

:05:21. > :05:23.champions. Why this Olympic gold medallist is

:05:24. > :05:35.returning to his east London roots where he learnt his sport.

:05:36. > :05:42.It is being described as one of the biggest ever crackdowns on financial

:05:43. > :05:45.fraudsters. City of London Police and agencies worldwide have carried

:05:46. > :05:50.out raids on gangs who tricked people into investing in worthless

:05:51. > :05:54.or nonexistent schemes. 110 people have been arrested as part of an

:05:55. > :06:00.international investigation. This report contains flash photography.

:06:01. > :06:05.On a quiet street in the centre of Barcelona, Spain's elite Serious

:06:06. > :06:10.Crime Unit target a scam which has ruined thousands of lives and cost

:06:11. > :06:14.victims millions of pounds. This team is working with colleagues from

:06:15. > :06:18.the City of London's Financial Crimes Unit. The office block is the

:06:19. > :06:22.base for what they believe is a boiler room, and the raid is one

:06:23. > :06:27.fragment of an operation which extends across Europe and beyond.

:06:28. > :06:31.There are 300 Spanish officers deployed across their country, and

:06:32. > :06:37.there are further arrests taking place in the UK, the United States

:06:38. > :06:41.and Serbia. The City of London force, which has 40 officers in

:06:42. > :06:45.Barcelona, says it is the biggest deployment it has ever made in

:06:46. > :06:49.pursuit of a fraud investigation. Boiler room scams involve

:06:50. > :06:52.individuals cold calling and using high`pressure sales techniques to

:06:53. > :06:59.persuade victims to buy into bogus investments. Most never see their

:07:00. > :07:04.money again. I received a call from a very enthusiastic young man who

:07:05. > :07:08.excited me, because I was thinking about investing and he was talking

:07:09. > :07:12.about carbon credits, which I had not heard about. He sent me loads of

:07:13. > :07:17.literature, told me a lot about it, was very knowledgeable, and I

:07:18. > :07:23.foolishly trusted him. And I did borrow money out of my house. The

:07:24. > :07:27.City of London force has played a major part in this crackdown. The

:07:28. > :07:32.aim, they say, is to decimate boiler room fraud, by arresting what they

:07:33. > :07:38.termed "tier one criminals", who are living well on the suffering of

:07:39. > :07:45.others. Luxury cars, personal possessions and cash have been

:07:46. > :07:48.seized. This is a crime that ignores global boundaries. It ignores

:07:49. > :07:55.international borders and operates right across the world. What we have

:07:56. > :07:59.shown is that we are able to do that as well. This scam has not been

:08:00. > :08:03.eradicated but the operation will offer reassurance to victims and

:08:04. > :08:12.severely damage the boiler room's ability to operate.

:08:13. > :08:17.A burglar who stabbed a pensioner 22 times has been sentenced to life in

:08:18. > :08:21.prison at the Old Bailey. Aaron Da Silva murdered Joseph Griffiths

:08:22. > :08:24.after the 72`year`old discovered him trying to burgle his home. The Old

:08:25. > :08:28.Bailey heard he had more than 30 convictions at the time of the

:08:29. > :08:30.attack and will serve a minimum of 32 years.

:08:31. > :08:34.A former Tube station that was used as a Second World War command centre

:08:35. > :08:36.has been sold for ?53 million. The Brompton Road Tube station near

:08:37. > :08:39.Harrods, which was originally valued at around ?20 million, served as the

:08:40. > :08:44.headquarters of the anti`aircraft division during the Second World

:08:45. > :08:54.War. Campaigners had argued that the site should be restored but it's now

:08:55. > :08:58.expected to be turned into flats. A main route out of south`west

:08:59. > :09:02.London will be closed all weekend after a burst water pipe caused

:09:03. > :09:06.flooding overnight. Drivers are being told to avoid crap Road in

:09:07. > :09:10.Kennington between Oval and Stockwell Tube stations. Thames

:09:11. > :09:13.Water has denied reports that the water contains sewage and says

:09:14. > :09:22.engineers are on site to make the roads safer. Many of the pipes have

:09:23. > :09:26.been around since Victorian times. Some of them are coming to the end

:09:27. > :09:31.of their useful life. We are investing about ?1 billion per year

:09:32. > :09:35.in replacing water mains, we cannot dig up everywhere all at once so it

:09:36. > :09:42.has to be a phased approach. The parents of a five`month`old boy who

:09:43. > :09:46.died of have been jailed. The Old Bailey heard that they neglected

:09:47. > :09:50.their baby son was a medical care because of their religious beliefs.

:09:51. > :09:56.Chris Rogers is outside the court. What more can you tell us? In court,

:09:57. > :10:01.this was described as a tragic case, not of child abuse but missed

:10:02. > :10:08.judgement, born out of the extreme religious beliefs of the parents.

:10:09. > :10:11.They both pleaded guilty to manslaughter. They were both

:10:12. > :10:16.followers of the seventh`day Adventist Church, which encourages a

:10:17. > :10:22.strict feed on diet, which can lead to vitamin D deficiency. Their son

:10:23. > :10:27.was born very underweight and very ill. Both his parents had the strong

:10:28. > :10:30.belief that God guided them on all matters, including health. They

:10:31. > :10:34.refused the advice of care professionals and relatives to seek

:10:35. > :10:39.medical assistance, even in the final hours of their son's death.

:10:40. > :10:43.The Adventist church said their religious views are the most extreme

:10:44. > :10:47.they have come across. In a statement, they said having strong

:10:48. > :10:50.health and wellness focus, the church delivers regular health

:10:51. > :10:55.presentations and training to church members and the wider community.

:10:56. > :10:57.Adventist health professionals would always advise church members to seek

:10:58. > :11:07.and listen to members `` medical advice. What more do we know about

:11:08. > :11:11.the condition of the baby boy? The coroner found that because of

:11:12. > :11:14.vitamin D deficiency, he had Ricketts disease, which weakens the

:11:15. > :11:19.bones and can lead to horrific internal injuries. Experts are

:11:20. > :11:24.warning that Ricketts is making a comeback, but not because of

:11:25. > :11:28.religion, because of lifestyle. I would not say we have concerns about

:11:29. > :11:32.religions, but all parents need to give their children and adequate

:11:33. > :11:37.diet. Whatever the family's religious beliefs, we have to make

:11:38. > :11:40.sure that somehow the child gets enough calcium and vitamins D and

:11:41. > :11:47.all of the other nutrients that children require. The central issue

:11:48. > :11:50.for Mr Justice Sweeney to consider was whether the parents of the boy

:11:51. > :11:54.would have sought medical advice if they had known it was a matter of

:11:55. > :11:59.life and death, because for the first few days of his life there son

:12:00. > :12:02.was in a special care centre. But he was not tested for vitamin deed

:12:03. > :12:07.efficiency and was not diagnosed with Ricketts disease. The father

:12:08. > :12:11.got three years, his wife got two years and three months in jail. The

:12:12. > :12:14.council have announced a serious case review, looking into whether

:12:15. > :12:19.all the agencies, including the NHS and social services, could have done

:12:20. > :12:23.more to save the life of this baby. Thank you.

:12:24. > :12:27.Rail unions are threatening to "go to war" over plans to introduce

:12:28. > :12:30.driverless Tube trains. Transport bosses have begun the process of

:12:31. > :12:33.searching for a supplier to build the next generation of automated

:12:34. > :12:37.trains, which it says will be more reliable. But the unions claim

:12:38. > :12:47.they'd be less safe. Tom Edwards reports.

:12:48. > :12:52.Trouble is brewing again on the Tube. Today, bosses took the first

:12:53. > :12:57.step in buying fully automated trains. Eventually, it could mean no

:12:58. > :13:02.cab and a member of staff in the carriage. It is a great idea. The

:13:03. > :13:06.fewer people employed to strike, the better. Technology can go down and

:13:07. > :13:12.then everybody would have to stand still, as we saw with the Tube

:13:13. > :13:15.strike. The Docklands Light Railway is already automated and trains on

:13:16. > :13:20.the Jubilee are semiautomated. The driver operates the doors but can

:13:21. > :13:25.strip `` switch to manual if there is a problem. Fully automated trains

:13:26. > :13:29.could deliver more capacity. Automated driving is so much more

:13:30. > :13:33.efficient. You get more consistent performance and improve the

:13:34. > :13:38.capacity. He reduced maintenance costs. In Paris, they have some

:13:39. > :13:45.automated lines and it took years of negotiation with workers. Here, both

:13:46. > :13:49.unions say the cab has to stay. There would be all`out war. We

:13:50. > :13:52.believe there should be a driver on the front of the train. With the

:13:53. > :13:56.amount of people that use London Underground, there is an argument

:13:57. > :14:00.for a guard as well as a driver. This person who is going to be on

:14:01. > :14:03.the train, just imagine an individual with a uniform on, what

:14:04. > :14:08.are you going to do? It is standing room only. If an incident takes

:14:09. > :14:12.place, are they to walk through the carriages, going round all the

:14:13. > :14:16.people? Are they to drive the train if it breaks down? It is a

:14:17. > :14:23.nonsense. London Underground says this is the beginning of a long

:14:24. > :14:27.process. We could have no cabs and staff in the carriage on the

:14:28. > :14:31.Piccadilly line, you are saying? We could, but we have ten years to go

:14:32. > :14:35.through the process of working out how to operate the trains, talking

:14:36. > :14:39.to staff, trade unions and customers. Do you think it would be

:14:40. > :14:44.safe? We would never do anything that was not safe to operate on the

:14:45. > :14:48.Underground. Plans are years away, but the new train is bound to be at

:14:49. > :15:17.flash point in already fractious industrial relations. Still to come:

:15:18. > :15:22.ahead of the relegation struggle let's get the weekend sport now with

:15:23. > :15:25.Sara Orchard and there's a top versus bottom West London Derby

:15:26. > :15:28.tomorrow. Yes, thanks, Alice, Fulham against Chelsea, and last week Felix

:15:29. > :15:34.Magath was named the new Fulham manager. One of his first decisions

:15:35. > :15:37.in the job was to cancel the players' day off last Sunday ` not

:15:38. > :15:40.the Premier League player pampering we're used to hearing about. The

:15:41. > :15:43.60`year`old German is charged with saving the club from relegation and

:15:44. > :15:51.has quite a fearsome reputation and I've been finding out more about Mr

:15:52. > :15:59.Magat. Fulham are at the bottom of the Premier League table and with

:16:00. > :16:02.the cost of relegation being estimated at ?40 million, the club

:16:03. > :16:08.called on a colourful and controversial manager... Felix

:16:09. > :16:14.Magath. Since his unveiling, stories of his previous coaching style have

:16:15. > :16:20.been publicised. There are stories of water bottles being emptied on

:16:21. > :16:24.hot summer days. Foreign players were told that they would not make

:16:25. > :16:31.the team unless they improved their language skills. Are the story is

:16:32. > :16:39.true? Yes, they probably are. Do not make the mistake and see him as a

:16:40. > :16:44.true instructor. His training is hard but the fitness is the basis

:16:45. > :16:51.for success. Whatever madness is to his methods, he has never been

:16:52. > :16:57.relegated and gets results. He has won league and cup titles in 2005

:16:58. > :17:03.and 2006. By 2009, he had won her third title as manager. Tomorrow he

:17:04. > :17:07.goes head to head with Jose Mourinho. At a press conference

:17:08. > :17:20.today, Felix Magath compared his success to similar as that of Jose

:17:21. > :17:28.Mourinho's. We want to get the crowd behind us. With 11 games to save

:17:29. > :17:33.Fulham, this man knows the cost of staying in the league. The Premier

:17:34. > :17:39.League is a cash cow. Because of that, we have to do is stay there.

:17:40. > :17:46.It is easier to stay there than going into a lower division and

:17:47. > :17:56.attempting to come up. If Felix Magath keeps us up, then Glory be.

:17:57. > :17:59.Go, Felix Magath! Good luck to them. Now to Columbia and the World Track

:18:00. > :18:02.Cycling Championships where there's been more success for two London

:18:03. > :18:05.riders. Olympic Champions Laura Trott and Joanna Rowsell won gold

:18:06. > :18:08.for Great Britain in the team pursuit. The win is their sixth

:18:09. > :18:10.world title in seven attempts, and although they have welcomed new

:18:11. > :18:20.members to the team they're happy the result remains golden. I think

:18:21. > :18:24.we have done very well. It took a bit of getting used to and learning

:18:25. > :18:32.it and learning how each other right but we are the world champions now!

:18:33. > :18:35.Next ` he's an Olympic Gold Medallist ` but now rower Mark

:18:36. > :18:38.Hunter, here on the left, is returning to his East End roots.

:18:39. > :18:41.Since retiring from the sport he's got a new job ` inspiring the next

:18:42. > :18:47.generation to take to the water. Emma Jones went along on his first

:18:48. > :18:51.day to see how he got on. Mark Hunter became an Olympic gold

:18:52. > :18:57.medallist in Beijing. We have gone into the record books! Great Britain

:18:58. > :19:02.are the Olympic champions and it sounds fantastic! He is best

:19:03. > :19:12.remembered for his heartache of not matching that here in London. We

:19:13. > :19:20.wanted to win so badly. I am sorry to everyone we have left down `` let

:19:21. > :19:28.down. Now he is back in a boat where it all began, teaching others about

:19:29. > :19:34.the lows and highs of the sport. To come back and share my experiences

:19:35. > :19:41.and bring the next generation into the sport is great. Mark's dad got

:19:42. > :19:44.him into a boat and now with his new job he has the chance to inspire

:19:45. > :19:50.hundreds of schoolchildren across London with all abilities. While his

:19:51. > :19:54.new role is not about finding the next Olympic champion, it sounds

:19:55. > :19:59.like he has given some of his new pupils a taste of what they might

:20:00. > :20:05.achieve. It definitely makes me want to aim higher and work harder, and

:20:06. > :20:13.all of the hours he shares with us, it is inspiring. To feel his gold

:20:14. > :20:18.medal and have it in my hands is an amazing experience and means if you

:20:19. > :20:29.work hard and put the effort in, one day that could be you. Day one seems

:20:30. > :20:32.to have been a success. It looks like he is doing pretty

:20:33. > :20:39.well. That's all the sport, back to you, Alice.

:20:40. > :20:42.All week, our World War One At Home Series in partnership with the

:20:43. > :20:45.Imperial War Museums has retold some of the most extraordinary accounts

:20:46. > :20:49.from around the capital, to mark a hundred years since the start of the

:20:50. > :20:53.First World War. Today, the story of the women who ran the Endell Street

:20:54. > :21:05.Military Hospital in Covent Garden. Dr Jennian Geddes has their

:21:06. > :21:13.remarkable tale. I am a retired doctor and amateur historian and I

:21:14. > :21:17.have been researching the work of doctors in the hospital that they

:21:27. > :21:33.was the site of a World War I hospital, a British army hospital

:21:34. > :21:40.run and staffed entirely by women and it was known as the Endell

:21:41. > :21:54.Street Military Hospital. You can see on the sign behind me the

:21:55. > :22:02.deeds. The nurses had been very active in the suffragette movement

:22:03. > :22:05.before the war. They were invited to set up the hospital by the Royal

:22:06. > :22:11.Army medical Corps and over the next few years they treated 24,000

:22:12. > :22:15.soldiers. For many of the women, most important thing was not just to

:22:16. > :22:20.do the patriotic duty and their country, but proved they were as

:22:21. > :22:25.capable as doing it `` at doing it as the men. The library collection

:22:26. > :22:31.here includes a number of articles relating to the hospital. In January

:22:32. > :22:38.1915, in this lovely photo, you can see the staff. There were 15

:22:39. > :22:45.doctors, most of them visiting consultants. There are 36 nurses in

:22:46. > :22:53.the row behind, and the few men in this photo were quickly replaced by

:22:54. > :22:55.women. Setting up to this `` this hospital was very important to

:22:56. > :23:02.Marian Anderson but it produced enormous challenges. A lot of people

:23:03. > :23:10.would be sceptical about how this could ever possibly work. Girls

:23:11. > :23:17.running a hospital? The idea that they could treat not just men were

:23:18. > :23:20.men who had been damaged through military action, the fact that they

:23:21. > :23:26.could deal with that was not recognised. In point of fact, they

:23:27. > :23:34.proved the doubters wrong. It was described as one `` by one patient

:23:35. > :23:37.as the best hospital in London. The hospital was a resounding success

:23:38. > :23:42.but when the war ended, the men returned from the front`line, and

:23:43. > :23:50.the male doctors expected to get the jobs. Women found themselves with

:23:51. > :24:00.restricted job opportunities, like they had before the war. Jennian

:24:01. > :24:05.Geddas there. And you can learn more about all the stories in our World

:24:06. > :24:08.War One series at the website. Some people were lucky enough to witness

:24:10. > :24:13.Elizabeth? people were lucky enough to witness

:24:14. > :24:19.the Northern Lights last night, Yes, they were lucky last night in part

:24:20. > :24:23.of Essex. No, there is no chance. The solar storm has finished and it

:24:24. > :24:30.will be too cloudy and wet, not good visibility. It is horrible outside

:24:31. > :24:37.at the moment but if you are fed up with this soggy winter then there is

:24:38. > :24:42.better news for the weekend. Spring starts tomorrow but it will still

:24:43. > :24:48.feel quite chilly. There will be some brightness as well. Some good

:24:49. > :24:53.spells of sunshine and the best they will be Saturday, rather than

:24:54. > :24:56.Sunday. It has been an odd day of weather today. We have this

:24:57. > :25:05.low`pressure sinking southwards and it is bringing swirls of rain roof.

:25:06. > :25:12.`` through. Temperatures in high Wycombe are no higher than three

:25:13. > :25:15.degrees but in the South it's is eight degrees. There will be rain

:25:16. > :25:21.for everybody through the rest of this evening's rush hour, and it

:25:22. > :25:25.will clear way to the South East. It will leave a mostly dry second half

:25:26. > :25:30.of the night. Some drizzle over the Thames estuary. The lowest

:25:31. > :25:38.temperatures around freezing with some patchy fog and frost. It will

:25:39. > :25:40.be a cloudy start for Saturday. Tomorrow, despite the cloud

:25:41. > :25:47.initially, things will brighten up nicely. There will be good spells of

:25:48. > :25:52.sunshine and temperatures will reach between eight and 10 degrees. It is

:25:53. > :25:56.not going to be a bad day at all. Unfortunately, things will change a

:25:57. > :26:01.little bit for Sunday. It will be cold on Saturday night and then the

:26:02. > :26:05.cloud will spread in from the west, and there will be outbreaks of

:26:06. > :26:10.drizzle. It could feel quite chilly for the first part of the night.

:26:11. > :26:14.This weather front pushes in on Sunday and it will drag its heels

:26:15. > :26:23.until the evening when we will start to see the rain. A rather cloudy day

:26:24. > :26:26.but temperatures coming up somewhat. Unfortunately, low`pressure across

:26:27. > :26:32.the UK means it will be showery and breezy. Perhaps a little bit of

:26:33. > :26:42.spring warmth by the middle of the week. Thank you very much. The main

:26:43. > :26:44.news headlines now... Tensions have escalated in Ukraine after it

:26:45. > :26:49.accused Russia of seizing two airports and blockading a port.

:26:50. > :26:53.Armed guards are now patrolling to airports in the Crimea. Serial

:26:54. > :26:56.killer Joanne Dennehy has been sentenced to life in jail without

:26:57. > :26:59.parole for murdering three men and attempting to kill two others. The

:27:00. > :27:01.judge described her as "a cruel, calculating, selfish and

:27:02. > :27:04.manipulative serial killer". Badger culls aimed at preventing the spread

:27:05. > :27:06.of TB in cattle were "ineffective and inhumane". That's according to

:27:07. > :27:13.the government's own report, which found far fewer badgers were killed

:27:14. > :27:17.than intended. Two victims of serial rapist John Warboys have won the

:27:18. > :27:19.right to sue the Met Police for failing to investigate their attacks

:27:20. > :27:27.properly. It's believed the taxi driver assaulted more than a hundred

:27:28. > :27:30.women over six years. City of London Police and agencies worldwide have

:27:31. > :27:33.arrested 20 people in the UK after carrying out a series on raids on

:27:34. > :27:37.gangs who trick people into investing in worthless or

:27:38. > :27:40.nonexistent schemes. That's it. I'll be back later during the Ten O'Clock
