:02:01. > :02:04.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.

:02:05. > :02:07.A 16-year-old girl has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter

:02:08. > :02:13.The little girl died in January, after being found seriously injured

:02:14. > :02:23.Our correspondent Danny Savage is at Leeds Crown court.

:02:24. > :02:30.The killing of Katie Rough is something many people will recall

:02:31. > :02:35.from earlier this year. It horrified people in New York and way beyond.

:02:36. > :02:39.It left those people who tried to treat her at the scene very

:02:40. > :02:43.traumatised. Today the teenager who killed her appeared via video link

:02:44. > :02:48.at Leeds Crown Court where she formally denied a charge of murder

:02:49. > :02:49.but pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter by diminished

:02:50. > :02:53.responsibility. Katie Rough, an innocent, sweet,

:02:54. > :02:54.much-loved schoolgirl, killed in an attack close

:02:55. > :02:57.to her home. It was a school day afternoon

:02:58. > :03:04.and just getting dark when Katie Rough was found fatally

:03:05. > :03:07.injured at the end of an alleyway on the edge of a playing

:03:08. > :03:09.field here in York. The seven-year-old died a short

:03:10. > :03:12.time later in hospital. It then emerged that a 15-year-old

:03:13. > :03:16.girl had attacked her with a knife. Katie's parents were quickly

:03:17. > :03:19.told what had happened We found her at the same time

:03:20. > :03:27.as a police officer found her. I saw her injuries,

:03:28. > :03:38.I knew she was gone. I don't know, it's

:03:39. > :03:45.impossible to describe. Today the teenage girl

:03:46. > :03:53.who killed Katie admitted She's too young to be publicly

:03:54. > :03:58.identified and has been What happened to Katie shocked

:03:59. > :04:03.so many people in this city. Things like that

:04:04. > :04:07.don't happen in York. Such a safe city, such a safe place,

:04:08. > :04:11.such a lovely, beautiful place. People come from all

:04:12. > :04:15.round the world to see York. For this to happen here

:04:16. > :04:21.was just unbelievable. The full reasons why this

:04:22. > :04:25.seven-year-old was killed cannot be Katie Rough will be remembered

:04:26. > :04:32.as a kind and thoughtful child whose life was taken away

:04:33. > :04:46.in the most dreadful circumstances. Katie's killer was 15 years old at

:04:47. > :04:50.the time of the attack, she is now 16. In this case manslaughter by

:04:51. > :04:55.diminished responsibility was down to the mental state of the killer.

:04:56. > :04:59.That has gone into in great detail in court this morning and that will

:05:00. > :05:03.obviously influence what happens next with this teenager and where

:05:04. > :05:07.she goes on to. That was discussed in court, it has been adjourned but

:05:08. > :05:13.will reconvene at 2pm this afternoon. She said nothing in court

:05:14. > :05:16.this morning through video link. She made a statement to admit her guilt

:05:17. > :05:20.but did not say anything and had her solicitor sat next to her during the

:05:21. > :05:22.hearing this morning, which will continue later.

:05:23. > :05:24.Downing Street insists that the Government's position

:05:25. > :05:26.on the public sector pay cap hasn't changed, despite calls

:05:27. > :05:28.from several Cabinet ministers for it to be scrapped.

:05:29. > :05:31.Number 10 says some pay review bodies will be reporting later this

:05:32. > :05:36.year and the Government will respond to them in due course.

:05:37. > :05:40.Theresa May is under pressure to end the public sector pay cap which has

:05:41. > :05:43.meant that public sector workers like nurses, teachers and police

:05:44. > :05:45.officers have had their pay rises limited to 1%,

:05:46. > :05:48.even though the cost of living has risen by more than that.

:05:49. > :05:56.Here's our Political Correspondent Chris Mason.

:05:57. > :06:01.Has the government being underpaying nurses and teachers, Foreign

:06:02. > :06:06.Secretary? No response from Boris Johnson this morning but we do know

:06:07. > :06:10.what he thinks. His team told us... The Foreign Secretary supports the

:06:11. > :06:13.idea of public sector workers getting a better pay deal and

:06:14. > :06:18.believes that pay review recommendations are right for stop

:06:19. > :06:24.Mr Johnson is just the latest cabinet minister to say something

:06:25. > :06:27.similar. I think we should listen to the pay review bodies who govern

:06:28. > :06:31.each individual area of public sector pay. This is something we

:06:32. > :06:35.have to consider, not just for the Army but right across the public

:06:36. > :06:38.sector as a whole. We will not make our decision on public sector pay

:06:39. > :06:43.until the pay review body has reported and we will listen to what

:06:44. > :06:47.they say and we will listen to what people in this house have said

:06:48. > :06:52.before making a final decision. So how do these pay review bodies work?

:06:53. > :06:57.Professor Alistair Smith has sat on several of them. You look at

:06:58. > :07:01.evidence, especially if there is difficulty recruiting people into

:07:02. > :07:06.the job, or if there are people leaving. You listen to what the

:07:07. > :07:10.government says, and balancing factors and they come up with an

:07:11. > :07:14.overall judgment as to what is the right level of pay increase.

:07:15. > :07:17.Crucially, while the government can ignore the recommendations of a pay

:07:18. > :07:21.review body, there is clearly pressure now to make sure they

:07:22. > :07:26.don't. But pushing up public sector pay comes up with a big bill for the

:07:27. > :07:31.Treasury. And it is yet to say explicitly that its policy has

:07:32. > :07:36.changed. I think the Chancellor is being placed in a very awkward

:07:37. > :07:39.position by everybody ganging up on him and saying, you've got to loosen

:07:40. > :07:43.the purse strings. He is the person who has to make the judgment. He

:07:44. > :07:48.needs to have the backing of the Prime Minister, which I'm sure he

:07:49. > :07:52.will get. Public sector workers will hope that with the cost of living

:07:53. > :07:57.rising, their pay cap will now be ditched. It's over to Theresa May to

:07:58. > :07:59.decide what to do and how to pay for it. Chris Mason, BBC News,

:08:00. > :08:04.Our Assistant Political Editor Norman Smith is in Westminster.

:08:05. > :08:11.How much pressure is the Prime Minister under over this? Downing

:08:12. > :08:15.Street saying nothing has changed and the pay policy remains in place.

:08:16. > :08:19.No new guidance has been issued to the pay review bodies and they will

:08:20. > :08:25.respond to their recommendations as and when they are made. Which means,

:08:26. > :08:30.incidentally, nurses are unlikely to see any further increases in their

:08:31. > :08:36.pay beyond 1% until next April, nine months away, when their pay review

:08:37. > :08:40.body reports. What has undoubtedly changed is the politics within the

:08:41. > :08:45.Conservative Party, with many Tory MPs blaming their grim election

:08:46. > :08:49.result on a failure to listen to the electorate on austerity and public

:08:50. > :08:56.sector pay. What has also changed is the seeming lack of grip in Downing

:08:57. > :08:58.Street with now Cabinet ministers openly elbowing their way to the

:08:59. > :09:05.front to make the case for more public spending. What has also

:09:06. > :09:10.changed is the sums. The Chancellor, if he is forced to end the public

:09:11. > :09:15.sector pay cap, will have to find another up to ?6 billion of money.

:09:16. > :09:16.At the moment nobody seems very clear on where that money will come

:09:17. > :09:20.from. Norman Smith, thank you. Well, as ministers discuss public

:09:21. > :09:22.sector pay, it's emerged that for the first time in nearly

:09:23. > :09:25.a decade that more nurses and midwives are leaving

:09:26. > :09:27.the profession in the UK The Nursing and Midwifery Council

:09:28. > :09:30.says working conditions, workload and poor pay are among

:09:31. > :09:33.the reasons given by Recruitment and retention of nurses

:09:34. > :09:41.and other NHS staff has been Today's figures show it's

:09:42. > :09:45.as difficult as ever. For the first time in nearly

:09:46. > :09:53.a decade, more nurses and midwives left the profession than joined

:09:54. > :09:55.in the latest year. Attention has focused recently

:09:56. > :09:57.on nurses from other EU countries But the figures show the trend

:09:58. > :10:03.was more marked among British staff. There was a fall of nearly 1800

:10:04. > :10:06.nurses and midwives on the official The total of above 692,000 in March

:10:07. > :10:18.2016 had fallen below 688,000 Quite what the answer is,

:10:19. > :10:22.I don't know, but it's Government needs to respond to that,

:10:23. > :10:27.employers need to respond to it, because what we do know

:10:28. > :10:30.is that we need nurses and midwives to care

:10:31. > :10:36.for us in GP practices, care homes, hospitals,

:10:37. > :10:38.maternity units, whereever, The Nursing and Midwifery Council

:10:39. > :10:45.also carried out a survey asking why Reasons given apart from retirement

:10:46. > :10:49.include working conditions and staffing levels,

:10:50. > :10:51.personal circumstances and disillusion with quality

:10:52. > :10:53.of care for patients. Demand is going through the roof

:10:54. > :10:59.and we have to find a way to tackle demand and then we can make

:11:00. > :11:01.jobs more manageable. It's not just an isolated

:11:02. > :11:05.focus on the workforce, we need to look at all the pressures

:11:06. > :11:14.facing the NHS system. A Department of Health spokesperson

:11:15. > :11:16.said, "We are making sure we have the nurses we need

:11:17. > :11:18.to continue delivering Last week we launched a national

:11:19. > :11:22.programme to ensure nurses have the support they need

:11:23. > :11:25.to continue their vital work." But health unions argued that

:11:26. > :11:28.patients were paying the price for the government's failure to plan

:11:29. > :11:31.for the future and that introducing tuition fees for student nurses

:11:32. > :11:33.in England would make matters worse. A long-awaited report into alleged

:11:34. > :11:40.child abuse in Jersey's care system It follows a three-year public

:11:41. > :11:45.inquiry, which has heard A police investigation recorded more

:11:46. > :11:54.than 500 alleged offences, most of which were said to have been

:11:55. > :11:57.committed at the Haut de la I used to be woken up some nights

:11:58. > :12:04.with screaming from the boys. Their cries of anguish were stifled,

:12:05. > :12:14.ignored or dismissed. But for the past two years,

:12:15. > :12:17.the story of Jersey's abuse victims In 2007, a worrying pattern of abuse

:12:18. > :12:21.claims led to a secret police investigation involving a number

:12:22. > :12:23.of care homes and But within a few months

:12:24. > :12:34.the secret was out. A series of witnesses had

:12:35. > :12:39.reported decades of abuse here at Haut de la Garenne,

:12:40. > :12:43.a former children's home. Alarmed by claims of deaths here,

:12:44. > :12:47.forensic teams took the home apart. They recovered fragments of bone

:12:48. > :12:51.and dozens of children's teeth. None could be linked to a specific

:12:52. > :12:55.crime or time frame, but these images prompted accounts

:12:56. > :12:59.of abuse at homes across the island. Complaints of abuse had come

:13:00. > :13:06.to light, real complaints. Yet, decisions were made not to deal

:13:07. > :13:10.with those complaints in a way Neil McMurray runs a blog that has

:13:11. > :13:16.carried out its own investigations and which acts as a forum

:13:17. > :13:19.for care leavers. A lot of us talk about colloquially,

:13:20. > :13:26.victims or survivors, but every single one of them

:13:27. > :13:29.is an individual. That's one thing that it has

:13:30. > :13:31.taught me, they have been to hell and back,

:13:32. > :13:33.tortured, abused, raped, by people who are supposed

:13:34. > :13:36.to love and care for them. When the inquiry chair

:13:37. > :13:38.Frances Oldham reveals their findings today,

:13:39. > :13:39.victims will be looking I want them to say that Jersey

:13:40. > :13:48.failed catastrophically in looking And that the government

:13:49. > :13:54.are going to promise it's never Our correspondent Dan Johnson

:13:55. > :14:11.is in St Helier in Jersey. They have waited a very long time

:14:12. > :14:17.for this public enquiry. It's going to be a big moment for them this

:14:18. > :14:21.afternoon. Indeed, yes. This public enquiry has been going on for three

:14:22. > :14:26.years, two years of evidence and then one year of writing the report.

:14:27. > :14:30.The key question is, how many children suffered and how widespread

:14:31. > :14:34.was the abuse, and crucially what did the authorities know about it?

:14:35. > :14:39.Why wasn't more done to protect children? Was there a cover-up

:14:40. > :14:44.either to protect individuals or the wider reputation and image of the

:14:45. > :14:48.island? And the report will also make recommendations about ensuring

:14:49. > :14:54.children's services here in Jersey are better facilitated now to

:14:55. > :14:57.protect vulnerable children in the future. This report has been a long

:14:58. > :15:01.time coming. There have been murmurs of child abuse being carried out on

:15:02. > :15:05.this island for decades. Vulnerable children being taken advantage of by

:15:06. > :15:09.the rich, powerful and people in authority and that warnings were not

:15:10. > :15:11.heeded. Lots of people who suffered at the hands of abuses here this

:15:12. > :15:15.afternoon to try to get answers. The Northern Ireland Secretary James

:15:16. > :15:17.Brokenshire will make a statement in Parliament later about talks

:15:18. > :15:19.to restore a devolved The latest deadline for

:15:20. > :15:22.the negotiations passed on Thursday, after the DUP and Sinn Fein failed

:15:23. > :15:25.to reach a deal to restore Our Ireland Correspondent

:15:26. > :15:40.Chris Buckler is at What is expected this afternoon? You

:15:41. > :15:44.will remember that last first day was the final, final deadline for

:15:45. > :15:48.negotiations. The parties are back here, talking again inside Stormont

:15:49. > :15:51.Castle. None of it seems to be making much difference. We heard

:15:52. > :15:57.from Sinn Fein a short time ago and they said there hadn't been much

:15:58. > :16:02.progress. I asked about one of the crucial issues in this, the language

:16:03. > :16:07.Irish act, they said they hadn't got into the detail of it yet. It gives

:16:08. > :16:12.you an idea of how far apart the DUP and Sinn Fein are. Sinn Fein went so

:16:13. > :16:16.far as to say there might be no point in continuing the negotiations

:16:17. > :16:19.with the marching season starting and reaching its height and the

:16:20. > :16:25.holiday season starts to approach as well. It makes it very difficult for

:16:26. > :16:27.Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire, who has to balance

:16:28. > :16:31.these things up with a limited number of options. You could call

:16:32. > :16:35.fresh elections, he could have direct rule where Westminster would

:16:36. > :16:40.take over the reins for a time. Or he could fudge it, trying to set a

:16:41. > :16:43.new deadline, yet another one, some kind of talks extension to see if

:16:44. > :16:47.they can come to an agreement in the longer term. Some parties already

:16:48. > :16:53.talking about the autumn here. I think there is a growing recognition

:16:54. > :16:54.that the problems and difficulties with power-sharing are a lot more

:16:55. > :16:59.corrugated than everyone realised. Up to 18 people are feared dead,

:17:00. > :17:02.after a coach crashed The vehicle collided

:17:03. > :17:06.with a lorry on a motorway close to the Bavarian town of Stammbach,

:17:07. > :17:09.in the south of the country. Police say 30 passengers have

:17:10. > :17:11.been taken to hospital, The terrible scene of the crash

:17:12. > :17:18.on the A9 motorway near Firefighters fought a desperate

:17:19. > :17:23.battle to put out the blaze that It is believed the tour bus

:17:24. > :17:30.was heading to Nuremberg when it hit a lorry in a traffic jam

:21:48. > :21:54.the cost of building the nuclear power station at Hinkley Point

:21:55. > :21:58.in Somerset could go up EDF - which is the project's main

:21:59. > :22:04.backer - says the total nearly ten per cent

:22:05. > :22:20.more than expected. Our business correspondent is here.

:22:21. > :22:26.Why the big rise? It is a big rise. Just a few months after contracts

:22:27. > :22:30.were signed. What EDF are saying is part of it is requirements from

:22:31. > :22:33.British nuclear regulators, so they are taking in a design that is being

:22:34. > :22:38.built in France, another is being built in Finland, some more in

:22:39. > :22:42.China, and regulators have asked for modifications and that costs money.

:22:43. > :22:46.There have also been costs associated with delays on both sides

:22:47. > :22:50.of the channel to giving the project the go-ahead which happened last

:22:51. > :22:54.year, so equipment has been standing by ready to start work but it was

:22:55. > :22:57.delayed and that costs money as well. An important point to make

:22:58. > :23:04.here is although the costs have risen by 10%, it is not going to

:23:05. > :23:08.cost UK bill payers any extra because EDF is guaranteed a certain

:23:09. > :23:13.price for the electricity it produces, that is what bill payers

:23:14. > :23:15.pay for, but any increase in construction costs is borne by the

:23:16. > :23:17.contractors, Sorbonne by EDF. A price cap on gas and electricity

:23:18. > :23:20.bills could be extended to more people on low incomes,

:23:21. > :23:22.under plans being considered A limit is already in place for

:23:23. > :23:27.people who use pre-payment meters - and Ofgem says this could be

:23:28. > :23:29.extended to households The Conservatives had promised

:23:30. > :23:32.a much wider price cap Here's our Personal Finance

:23:33. > :23:44.Correspondent, Simon Gompertz. There is likely to be more capping

:23:45. > :23:50.of gas and electricity prices but what is not clear is how many will

:23:51. > :23:55.benefit. This woman, who had a soaring bill, says plenty of people

:23:56. > :23:59.need help. She is saving hundreds of pounds every year but only after

:24:00. > :24:02.Citizens Advice told her how to switch out of her tariff.

:24:03. > :24:08.Yellowknife Bay should explain properly and the price should go

:24:09. > :24:12.down. Two or three months, the bill was OK, then it went higher. At the

:24:13. > :24:22.end of the day it was ?800. That bill, if you blame me or not, I

:24:23. > :24:30.needed it to go down. I was panicking, I was very sick. There is

:24:31. > :24:39.an energy price restriction. Ofgem are thinking of extending it. It

:24:40. > :24:42.does not go to all the customers on expensive standard tariffs, 17

:24:43. > :24:47.million of them, who were told that they would get a. A message from the

:24:48. > :24:53.Conservatives before the election was people on standard rates for gas

:24:54. > :24:58.and electricity could get up to ?100 off their bills because of a imposed

:24:59. > :25:03.price. That seems to be off the agenda now. The government says

:25:04. > :25:08.because Ofgem already has powers of the suppliers it can move more

:25:09. > :25:13.quickly to get costs down without a lengthy process of bringing in new

:25:14. > :25:16.laws. We want to work with consumer groups, identified a set of

:25:17. > :25:21.customers, Putin measures that we think will protect them in a very

:25:22. > :25:28.important public service. The problem is most big suppliers have

:25:29. > :25:33.increased their standard rates despite Ofgem saying they did not

:25:34. > :25:38.need to, prompting a senior Tory MP to complain that households would be

:25:39. > :25:42.unprotected. It is great that they want to help people who are in the

:25:43. > :25:46.less well off end of the spectrum but there are 40 million others who

:25:47. > :25:51.they are not helping, and all the political parties said we would help

:25:52. > :25:59.them. Are you the suppliers being let off? Absolutely not. The type of

:26:00. > :26:04.rice limit that Ofgem were talking about will require a tremendous

:26:05. > :26:11.amount of work and ultimately, to make this market work for everybody.

:26:12. > :26:15.The government called on energy companies to get people off bad

:26:16. > :26:18.value tariffs but the heated debate over who deserves to have their

:26:19. > :26:21.bills limited will go on. Andy Murray starts the defence

:26:22. > :26:24.of his Wimbledon title this lunchtime as he plays

:26:25. > :26:25.on centre court. It's not been an ideal

:26:26. > :26:27.build-up to the tournament for the World Number One -

:26:28. > :26:30.and two time Wimbledon champion. He's been struggling

:26:31. > :26:32.with a hip injury. Six other Brits are in

:26:33. > :26:34.action on day one - including British number one

:26:35. > :26:36.and sixth seed Johanna Konta. Our Sports Correspondent David

:26:37. > :26:50.Ornstein is at Wimbledon. What makes this year particularly

:26:51. > :26:53.interesting is in both the men's and women's sides, the drawers are

:26:54. > :27:02.genuinely wide open and that is partially why people spent 48-hours

:27:03. > :27:06.queueing to get in. We expect half a million through the gates on what is

:27:07. > :27:11.always an incredibly special time in the sporting calendar. It is the day

:27:12. > :27:16.when months of preparation come to fruition. The excitement, the

:27:17. > :27:20.anticipation, with many dressing for the occasion. It would not be a

:27:21. > :27:27.British sporting event without worry about the home hope. A sore casting

:27:28. > :27:31.doubt over Andy Murray's title defence. Thankfully he was fit to

:27:32. > :27:35.open. From Andy's point of view it has not been ideal, moving on grass

:27:36. > :27:41.is one of the great attributes he has. This was not the perfect

:27:42. > :27:45.preparation. Having said that, I feel if he's going to put himself on

:27:46. > :27:50.Centre Court he believes he has a chance of winning the tournament.

:27:51. > :28:01.Not just the match but the tournament. Andy Murray is not the

:28:02. > :28:05.only one troubled by injury. Konta suffered a heavy fall at Eastbourne

:28:06. > :28:12.but she is also fit. Serena Williams is absent because she is pregnant.

:28:13. > :28:18.Her sister, Venus, is here, despite facing a lawsuit in America over a

:28:19. > :28:22.car accident. Wimbledon were enhancing their security operation

:28:23. > :28:29.in light of recent events. Security is very high on the agenda, and the

:28:30. > :28:35.only visible change are the vehicle blockers protecting people in the

:28:36. > :28:38.queue. That is for obvious reasons following recent terror attacks. The

:28:39. > :28:44.other measures are behind the scenes, below the radar, Wimbledon

:28:45. > :28:50.has always had a strong security system and it is no different this

:28:51. > :28:54.year. It is about reassurance. Wimbledon is always a royal

:28:55. > :28:58.engagement, especially today, with the Duchess of Cambridge meeting

:28:59. > :29:05.those who help make the tournament success. That is what the next

:29:06. > :29:11.fortnight promises to be. To the action, and Andy Murray is leading

:29:12. > :29:17.in the first set against Alexander Bublik. Joining us is Jamie Baker.

:29:18. > :29:22.There have been injury concerns but he is fit and playing and seems to

:29:23. > :29:26.be doing OK. How do you think it will go? It has not been the easiest

:29:27. > :29:32.preparation and he normally likes to practice a lot. He has some

:29:33. > :29:40.unbelievable memories, he's won so many matches. He has a good draw.

:29:41. > :29:46.Hopefully he can get a couple of good matches as we enter the

:29:47. > :29:52.tournament. When that happens, he's one of the favourites, but it's a

:29:53. > :29:59.very open tournament. One of his potential opponents is already out,

:30:00. > :30:05.Nick Kyrgios of Australia. Also two British players. Let's have a look

:30:06. > :30:12.at the latest weather. The clouds are looking threatening. There is a

:30:13. > :30:18.30% chance of rain. There are a few showers around but also a lot of dry

:30:19. > :30:24.and sunny weather. Here is the scene in East Lothian. As we head through

:30:25. > :30:30.this week the weather is set fair for many of us. There will be some

:30:31. > :30:39.sunshine around, equally the chance of heavy showers. Most of us will

:30:40. > :30:44.see dry weather, just a few passing showers in southern and eastern

:30:45. > :30:49.England and Scotland as well. The cloud increasing from the West. Much

:30:50. > :30:55.of Scotland will be dry with some sunshine and a few showers for the

:30:56. > :30:58.likes of Aberdeenshire. Heading south through the Midlands, Wales

:30:59. > :31:05.and the South of England, some cloud moving in across parts of Cornwall.

:31:06. > :31:11.Moving eastward, you can see light showers in East Anglia. At Wimbledon

:31:12. > :31:15.there is a small chance of a passing shower. Predominantly dry over the

:31:16. > :31:24.next couple of days with those temperatures really on the rise.

:31:25. > :31:27.Back to this evening, most of us dry, some rain across Northern

:31:28. > :31:34.Ireland, it will then shift eastwards into southern Scotland and

:31:35. > :31:40.northern England. Most other places dry, quite muddy in the south. That

:31:41. > :31:48.will continue for much of this week. We've got this slow-moving front

:31:49. > :31:57.bringing rain. To the north of that, fresher conditions. Further south,

:31:58. > :32:00.we've got that warm air, so we will see temperatures up into the

:32:01. > :32:10.mid-20s. Through the middle of the week, this slow-moving warm front

:32:11. > :32:18.heading north. We will see some light showers on that front, in two

:32:19. > :32:25.parts of Scotland as well. Northern Scotland will be a bit fresher.

:32:26. > :32:30.Further south we've got that warmth kicking in. We are likely to see 28

:32:31. > :32:36.degrees, even a little bit higher than that. With that heat and

:32:37. > :32:39.humidity we could see some heavy showers and thunderstorms. The warm

:32:40. > :32:47.weather will last through the week for many of us. A reminder of the

:32:48. > :32:51.main story. A 16-year-old girl pleads guilty to killing a

:32:52. > :32:55.seven-year-old in an attack in New York. Katie Rough was found with

:32:56. > :33:00.severe injuries on a playing field in January. Her mother was one of

:33:01. > :33:09.the first on the scene. We found her at the same time as a police officer

:33:10. > :33:17.found her. I cradled her. I saw her injuries. I knew she was gone. That

:33:18. > :33:18.is all from the
