But those on the frontline say a court ruling has plunged the entire

system into chaos and led to the prospect of criminals walking free.

People can then be brought back weeks or months later and in some

cases charged. A long-established system has meant people could be

held for 96 hours, often running over weeks or months, and in

between be released on police bail. The new ruling means they now have

to be held for 96 hours continuously, so a far tighter time

frame when it comes to gathering evidence and deciding whether to

charge. Suspects can only be re- arrested if there is new evidence.

It reverses 25 years of police practice, and it is one where

ministers want a U-turn. There may be opportunities for

appealing the decision, but we will also looked at whether it is

necessary to introduce legislation to deal with this issue, so you can

rest assured that we are very conscious of the concern that this

judgment has brought in terms of operational policing. Enfield in

north London earlier this month, and a march to highlight the

suffering caused by a local gang violence. The message from one of

the organisers, leave the bail system as it was. We have so many

incidences of live crime, some which lead to get, so the police

need a longer time, I think, as long as they need to collect the

evidence and make strong cases so that we can get the perpetrators of

the streets, making the streets safe. While officers on the streets

get on with the job, their bosses and prosecutors are trying to

grapple with the ruling, described by different police chiefs as

bizarre and a net. It is not the intention or desire of policing to

put dangerous people back on the street, but we are working out

whether that is a potential consequence of this decision,

including public safety which is the absolute parity in all of this.

Tonight it has emerged that it is nearly a week since the situation

first came to light. For ministers, the clock is ticking as they decide

whether to reverse the ruling with emergency legislation.

Our home editor is at the Home Office. How can one Judge's ruling

10 years of practice upside-down? It is bizarre that the 25 years the

police have been behaving in one way in terms of how they question

and use bail during the course of an investigation, only to discover

that that is not what the law says It will be a concern for detectives

who have got used to the idea that the 96 our maximum that they have

got can be spread out over a long period. The only way under the new

ruling after the four days that they can get someone back into the

station is it they have got new evidence. There have been criticism

that the bail system is being used by police, as it were, to almost

punish a suspect without evidence. They are restricting who they can

talk to him over quite a long period. Here at the Home Office,

lawyers are working out how they might be able to get quick

emergency legislation through the House of Commons so that they can

fill what they regard as a loophole. The Greek parliament has voted for

a controversial austerity package which will mean tax rises and pay

cuts for millions of workers. There were angry and sometimes violent

scenes outside Parliament where thousands demonstrated against the

proposals. Without the drastic cuts in spending, Greece would not

receive billions of Euros in bail- out money from the European Union

and the IMF. Greece needs to make �25 billion of savings by 2015.

150,000 jobs will go, and �44 billion of state assets will have

to be privatised. Gavin Hewitt is This has been a difficult day in

Greece. Sure, the Parliament has approved these awe austerity

measures, which means Greece can probably avoid bankruptcy and not

threaten the international financial system. But it has also

been a day of serious violence. You can probably hear all the noise

behind me, because that violence is continuing tonight. Greek MPs

debated and voted behind shuttered windows while outside there were

fierce clashes on the streets. In Parliament Square protesters had

arrived early, hoping to interrupt a vote that would bring in hard-

line austerity measures. Clashes with police quickly broke out as

thousands of protesters lined up outside Parliament. Even before the

vote has started there are volleys of tear gas being aimed at the

crowd. And the crowd here certainly has a sense of tension knowing that

within an hour the MPs are supposed to vote. The violence was far more

serious than yesterday. Dozens of police and protesters were injured.

There were running battles with protesters charging police lines.

The police uefrd tear gas and stun grenades. Some of the protesters

threw blast bombs. The fighting spread to other neighbourhoods.

Inside the Parliament George Papandreou said it was time to face

up to a historic challenge. The Greek people, he said, don't want

this Government to fail because if these measures fail, Greece will

fail. In the event the austerity measures passed by just a handful

of votes. The way is now open for Greece to receive �10 billion in

emergency loans and so avoid bankruptcy. The response on the

streets was one of fury. This woman said, "Let the Prime Minister come

down here and see if he can live on 300 euros a month." Europe's

leaders said the result was good news for Europe and the eurozone.

That may be true in the short term, but these budget cuts have little

popular support. And there is real Bertness here. Tonight crowds were

herded into a Metro station and the police showed little restraint. Yes,

the Government won, but there are serious doubts whether the

austerity measure consist be fully implemented. Many doubts remain

about the future here. Social tension is rising. One of the MPs

who voted in favour of the austerity measures was attacked

leaving Parliament. I bumped into the head of one of the big unions

here who said sure, they've approved austerity measures, but

they'll never be fully implemented. This square is covered in the

latest volley of tear gas. Stephanie Flanders can here. Does

this vote solve the problem or simply delay finding a solution?

wish I could say this has solved everything, we are not going to be

talking about Greece for the next weeks and months, but that's

clearly not the case. This tragedy has really only ever been about

buying time for Greece. If Greece decided not to pay these debts it

would save them money, they wouldn't have to pay interest on

that debt, but they wouldn't have enough money coming in to can keep

the going going, so they would need more austerity, not less. That's

the argument that probably won out today. There is plenty more to come.

The eurozone has to decide on the structure of a new bail-out for

Greece. Greece has to show kit implement these difficult policies.

More pain ahead for them and almost certainly more crisis talks for the

eurozone ahead. Travellers have been twoorpbd

expect delays at ports and airports tomorrow, as thousands of

immigration and Customs officers prepare to join the public sector

strike. Schools in England and Wales are also expected to be hit

in what unions say will be the biggest public sector walkout for

many years. John Moylan reports. Thousands of schools will be close,

many Jobcentres will be shut. And air travellers will face long

queues at airports. That's some of the likely impact tomorrow as

hundreds of thousands of public sector workers go on strike over

changes to their pensions. But on the eve of the biggest industrial

action to be seen in years, the Prime Minister again attacked the

planned walkout. I don't believe there is any case for industrial

action tomorrow, not least because talks are still ongoing. It is only

a minority of unions who've taken the decision to go ahead and strike.

What I want to see tomorrow is as many mums and dads tomorrow able to

take their children to school. the same time in London and

elsewhere, unions involved were rallying their troops. They reject

the Government's claim that the proposed changes are fair. We are

striking now because the Government's made it absolutely

clear that they intend to make our members work eight years longer,

pay thousands more and get half the pension they currently get. It is a

massive raid on people's pensions, completely unfair, and we were

striking to try and stop it. With people living long ter Government

says tuckor tensions must change. It points to a �9.7 billion funding

black hole by 2015, so it wants workerss to contribute 3% more on

average, to work longer and to move to less-generous career average

schemes. But it means that millions of public sector workers, including

these three in Birmingham, will have to rethink their retirement

plans. I'm going on strike tomorrow because I carant education and I

care about my pension. And I'm afraid I feel it is the only way we

are going to get our voice heard. We've got to take a stand and say

it is not acceptable to keep living in fear, wondering whether you will

keep a job or will be able to pay the mortgage. So how much sympathy

is there for the strike? Business groups warn that tomorrow's action

could damage an already fragile recovery. Kite have an enormous

disruptive effect upon business. Most parents now work. The fact

that thousands of schools are going to be closed means that parents

will have to take time off work to look after their children, which

means they are not going to their business, and lit hit their pockets

as well. In the coming hours the walkouts will begin. The dispute so

far played out behind the scenes will start to touch millions of us.

In a moment we'll be talking to Nick Robinson but first to our

industry correspondent John Moylan, who is at Heathrow. The effect of

these strikes are being felt already at ports and airports?

Officially it starts at midnight but immigration staff coming on

shift here at Heathrow from 6 o'clock are being asked by their

union not to work. The main impact at Heathrow and other pain airports

and Dover tomorrow, long queues are expected at immigration. The big

impact for families across England and Wales will come from the

teachers' strike. It is expected that two thirds of schools in

England will be shut or disrupted, and parents staying at home will

mean a knock-on effect on businesses. If you are expecting a

benefits payment on-line, that should happen, but Jobcentres will

be closed. Clourts be affected as well. Cases will be cancelled. If

you are doing your driving test tomorrow that's likely to have to

be rebooked. Nick, David Cameron has already made his views pretty

clear on these strikes. How worried will he be that they are going

ahead anyway? I think he is waiting and watching, as the whole of

Westminster is, to see how much of an impact these strikes have on

ordinary people's lives. And how does the public react? This is the

beginning of a long, drawn-out dispute, not the end of it tomorrow.

There are unions that are not yet on strike who will have to make

their decisions. Ministers are locked in negotiations over pension

changes who will have to make decisions about what successions to

An Italian man has been found guilty of murdering a mother of two

The police officers said something awful has happened to your mum, she

neighbour who had visited Heather Barnard, Danilo Restivo was soon a

suspect. She had been found with locks of cut hair in her hand. He

had been reported for surreptitiously cutting women's

hair. There was not enough evidence to charge him with murder. The

trail which Dorset police were following would take them far

beyond the suburbs of Dorset to these Italian market town in the

hills south of Naples. The police here in the 10 there were also very

interested in the man, and in particular his links with a murder

a workman found her. She too had locks of hair nearby. Police

reports acknowledged that he posed a threat to women and yet the

church was never thoroughly searched. TRANSLATION: It was clear

that he had serious problems, that he was violent and disturbed. If

they had stopped him, then head of two children would still have their

chaos after a judge rules that they must charge suspects within four

days, and that now includes time out on bail. Coming up: Can Murray

work his magic on Centre Court as he aims for a place in the

Wimbledon quarter-finals? Later on the BBC News Channel, we

look at how important today's austerity vote is for Greece and

the eurozone. And mortgage approvals in the UK rise slightly

in May, but what does it mean for A six-month official investigation

into the gangs to groom children for sexual abuse has found there

were more than 2000 victims across the UK. The report criticised how

valise and other agencies deal with street grooming. UK affairs

correspondent Chris Buckler reports. These streets were used as a place

to groom vulnerable young girls. The gang were convicted six months

ago after being bowled driving around Derby at night offering

drink and drugs and enforcing the girls to have sex. When the

ringleaders were jailed, the former Home Secretary was criticised for

claiming some men of Pakistani origin saw white girls as easy meat.

CEOP admits that it can only gather a limited amount of information for

its report and that its findings are inconclusive, but of the 940

identified offenders, CEOP said more than a quarter were Asian.

That is a high percentage in the population. 38% of offenders were

described as white, while the ethnic origin of others was not

known. Tracey had only just become a teenager when she became a victim

of abuse. They would start to ask me to have sex with people. If I

said no Waugh had an argument or part of a fight about something,

they would be a punishment. CEOP has concerns that, in many places,

that type of grooming is not being taken seriously enough. It appears

to us that less than half of the local safeguarding children's

boards are taking the necessary approach to child sexual

exploitation. I will be delighted if they simply do that. This

Barnardo's Centre in Bradford was the first to specialise in helping

children who have been sexually exploited. We have had a child aged

13 who was targeted by a number of men. She has been burned by

cigarettes, she has been kidnapped. She has had horrendous experiences.

This is far from a definitive report, but of the 2000 victims

identified, the vast majority were girls, and most were white. They

would come and because of... Leo was exploited from the age of

14. She is a son and believes there is too great a focus on the issue

of race. -- she is Asian. I am sure it helps -- happens in towns where

Asians do not live. They are too focused on the subject of them

being Asian, when basically they are human beings, they are men who

have done wrong. And there is a belief that more could be done to

protect children and their Scottish universities are to be

allowed to charge students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland

up to �9,000 the in fees. It could increase the cost of a four-year

degree in Scotland to �36,000 with students from Scotland and the EU

qualifying for free education. Scotland correspondent Glenn

Campbell reports. The cost of getting a degree from a

Scottish university already depends on where you come from. Of these

Edinburgh graduates, those from England, Wales or Northern Ireland

are the only ones from anywhere in the European Union who will have

paid tuition fees. A charge that Scottish universities will be

allowed to increase fivefold from 2012. We have no option but to act.

If we did nothing, students from England would pay only just over

�1,800 to attend a Scottish university. That compares to five

times the total, �9,000, in their home nation. Action is essential to

make sure that Scottish students are not simply squeezed out. So how

will things change Goethe mark take these three graduates, all with the

same degree in chemical engineering. Jack from Scotland had his fees

paid by the Scottish government. That will not change. It is nice to

be graduating with more limited debt. Under EU law, Susana from

Poland had to be given the same subsidy. The Scottish government is

trying to find a way around this to make European students pay

something. It is quite expensive for students in England, so I

applied to Scotland because I knew I did not have to pay. But the

government was able to judge Alexander from England �1,820 per

year. In future, universities will be able to increase that to a

maximum of �9,000 for students from the rest of the UK. In comparison

to the Scottish and European students, who do not pay, I find it

a bit strange that I am from Great Britain and I have to pay.

Scottish government had been considering a plan to raise the

cost of tuition for English, Welsh and Northern Irish students to come

to Scotland to �6,500 per year. But now it has decided to let some

universities charge more and others charge less. In other words, each

institution will set the fees of its choice. Universities in

Scotland say they will not abuse his power and price themselves out

of this new student market. It is the shock defeat of Wimbledon

this year, Roger Federer has been knocked out. France's Jo-Wilfried

Tsonga won after coming from two set down and will now face number

two seed Novak Djokovic for a place in the final. Andy Murray is on

court now in his quarter-final. We can get the latest from sports

correspondent James Pearce. So far, so good for Andy Murray. More about

him in a moment, but the big talking point here has been the

talk of Roger Federer, the first time in a grand-slam match that he

has won the first two sets and then lost, as Tim Franks reports.

with an even earlier break in the last set, he was serving for the

match. The 26-year-old unleashed the eight-year-old boy. It is never

easy to play against Roger. It was just amazing, I am so happy. And,

yeah, that is crazy! Enter, after a three-hour wait, Andy Murray and

his blue-eyed quarter-final opponent, Feliciano Lopez, and

Murray, a teenager again, had announced that made him feel sick.

In the first set, Andy Murray produced a cross-court winner fit

for amateur psychoanalysts as much as tennis lovers. That would

Beneath those fine Mediterranean features, Lopez has a waspish left-

handed serve, but Murray has broken again in the second set.

Murray won that second set. It is currently 2-2 in the third set,

looking very good for Murray, but Roger Federer also won the first

two, so don't count your chickens quite yet.

Time for the weather now with Alex No counting our chickens in terms

of the dry weather, because there is still the possibility of a

shower at Wimbledon in the next hour or two. We will continue with

the fresher feel overnight. Temperatures on Sunday did not dip

below 20 degrees. Tonight, many places will see single figures, the

cooler weather is here and here to stay. A few showers scattered

across the UK, they will fizzle out overnight, but for most a dry night

and a cool night with single-digit temperatures in quite a few places.

A fresh start to Thursday, sunny for quite a few of us, but we will

have to watch as the shower clouds develop. Subtle changes tomorrow,

more of the showers across eastern areas, heavy across north-eastern

England. Further west, much of the South West will have a fine

summer's afternoon with decent spells of sunshine and temperatures

into the high teens. Maybe 19 degrees in Cardiff, one of two

scattered showers across Cardiff, but as we go through the late

afternoon and early-evening, a fine end to the day. It should be fine

across Northern Ireland. Maybe a few scattered showers but fairly

alive. Showers will keep going across the far north-west of

Scotland, heavier showers across eastern Scotland. Further south,

across parts of East Yorkshire and down into Lincolnshire and maybe

Norfolk, we could see some quite lively downpours with a risk of

thunder. Scattered showers across the south-east, some sunny spells,

temperatures up to 21 at Wimbledon, just a small chance of

interruptions to play. Should be fine for men's semi-final day on

Friday. The majority of the country looking fine on Friday, and that

fine weather continues into the weekend. Not glorious sunny skies

everywhere, but dry and bright. Pleasant conditions with

temperatures in the low 20s. Pollen levels are high, more about that
