The entertainer Rolf Harris is behind bars tonight beginning

:00:00.:00:08.

his sentence for a string of indecent assaults.

:00:09.:00:16.

Do you have any words for your victims?

:00:17.:00:37.

The 84-year-old has been sentenced to five years and nine months

:00:38.:00:42.

The 84-year-old has been sentenced to five years and nine months

:00:43.:00:43.

for his attacks on young girls more than 30 years ago.

:00:44.:00:44.

He closed the door and then he pushed me up against the wall.

:00:45.:00:47.

Tonight, as more victims come forward the Attorney General has

:00:48.:00:52.

been asked to consider if the sentence is too lenient.

:00:53.:00:55.

The former News of the World editor Andy Coulson is

:00:56.:00:58.

also in jail tonight, beginning an 18 month sentence

:00:59.:01:00.

Thousands attend the funeral of a 17-year-old Palestinian who's

:01:01.:01:03.

thought to have been killed in revenge for the deaths

:01:04.:01:07.

Bless this ship and all who sail in her.

:01:08.:01:11.

A bottle of whisky is used as the Royal Navy's largest ever

:01:12.:01:15.

And red, white and yellow, Yorkshire prepares for

Police launch a murder inquiry in Hendon after a man is stabbed to

Rolf Harris is in jail tonight at the start of his sentence

:01:33.:02:01.

for indecently assaulting four girls between 1969 and 1986.

:02:02.:02:09.

The youngest was just eight at the time.

:02:10.:02:20.

The judge said the 84-year-old veteran entertainer had shown no

:02:21.:02:29.

As he sentenced Rolf Harris to five years and nine months in prison,

:02:30.:02:39.

he said his reputation now lies in ruins and he has no one to blame

:02:40.:02:49.

The Attorney General has been asked to decide whether

:02:50.:02:52.

Any words for your victims? Rolf Harris and arrived knowing that he

:02:53.:03:00.

would not be leaving by limousine. He normally loves the cameras. On

:03:01.:03:04.

the work into court something made him smile briefly. It was the only

:03:05.:03:10.

emotion we saw from him all day. There were strong feelings from

:03:11.:03:14.

those he abused. One woman had bumped into him on a holiday in

:03:15.:03:17.

Malta. 14 years later, and identity protected, Rolf Harris means one

:03:18.:03:20.

thing to her. You think about being abused. I was abused without being

:03:21.:03:23.

asked, without having a relationship with that person. It was an abuse. I

:03:24.:03:35.

felt at the time that I was going to be raped and it was very scary. In

:03:36.:03:47.

court, behind him in the dock were two bags packed. He know where he

:03:48.:03:52.

was going. The judge said if the crimes had happened today they would

:03:53.:03:56.

not have been called indecent assault, and is forced into clothing

:03:57.:04:03.

in the most indecent of places. The judge said, you have shown no

:04:04.:04:18.

remorse for your crimes. He reminded the court this was a man who had

:04:19.:04:22.

been on television for more than 50 years. He did not mention the

:04:23.:04:28.

catchphrase he had used back in the 60s. I had eight furious catchphrase

:04:29.:04:33.

that I used at every opportunity, if there was a load bang, I would say,

:04:34.:04:44.

I never touched her, your honour. It was a joke, but not for his victims.

:04:45.:04:50.

One said the years of abuse had left her feeling dirty, grubby and

:04:51.:04:52.

disgusting. When the sentenced was read out, his

:04:53.:05:07.

wife's seat in court was empty. She was too ill to attend. This woman

:05:08.:05:13.

had been assaulted when she met him for an interview. She feels justice

:05:14.:05:20.

has been done. He is 84. He is an old man with health problems, but he

:05:21.:05:24.

did not take into account his victim's ages when he played on

:05:25.:05:29.

them, some of them as young as seven or eight. His daughter's friend when

:05:30.:05:35.

she was 13. A man whose life has been a celebration of childhood

:05:36.:05:40.

innocence left port a convicted abuser of children in a speeding van

:05:41.:05:47.

bound for prison. It does not end there. He was facing charges of

:05:48.:05:52.

downloading child pornography. They are not going to be pressing forward

:05:53.:06:00.

with those prosecutions. The Attorney General's office is looking

:06:01.:06:03.

at whether to review the sentence. The former editor of the News

:06:04.:06:07.

of the World Andy Coulson has been jailed for 18 months

:06:08.:06:10.

for conspiracy to hack phones. Coulson, who went on to become

:06:11.:06:12.

the Prime Minister's director of communications, was found guilty

:06:13.:06:15.

at the Old Bailey last week. After sentencing,

:06:16.:06:18.

David Cameron said it was right that justice was done and it showed

:06:19.:06:20.

nobody was above the law. Now it's emerged that prosecutors

:06:21.:06:23.

are considering whether to charge eight people in connection with a

:06:24.:06:25.

second investigation into It was the day a judge quite

:06:26.:06:40.

literally define the limits of press freedom. Among those heading to

:06:41.:06:44.

Belmarsh, the News of the World's former editor Andy Coulson. This

:06:45.:06:53.

morning he had arrived at the Old Bailey without his wife who was

:06:54.:06:59.

looking after their three children. The four other men convicted stood

:07:00.:07:02.

alongside him in the dock for sentencing. The judge said he had to

:07:03.:07:08.

take the major share of the blame for phone hacking. He jailed him for

:07:09.:07:12.

18 months, the maximum possible sentence is two years. The chief

:07:13.:07:17.

reporter and news editor were jailed for six months. Another news

:07:18.:07:23.

editor, a four month suspended sentence and the private

:07:24.:07:26.

investigator who did the hacking six months suspended. The judge told him

:07:27.:07:36.

he was the lucky one. Because he had already served a prison sentence for

:07:37.:07:41.

phone hacking, the judge decided against jailing him again, but said

:07:42.:07:49.

the previous sentence was too shot. Thousands of phone hacks, so many

:07:50.:07:53.

that at one point he sent an email saying he could not Corp. The

:07:54.:07:56.

victims included politicians, celebrities and royalty but the

:07:57.:08:06.

judge focused on Milly Dowler's phone, and a message that had

:08:07.:08:09.

suggested she was still alive. Police think the victims of the 7/7

:08:10.:08:24.

bombings were also targeted by the nose of the world. Among them the

:08:25.:08:29.

family of somebody killed at Edgware Road. We cannot understand by, why

:08:30.:08:41.

anybody would think that cheap headlines was worth invading

:08:42.:08:44.

somebody's life. It is a scandal that has seen journalists jailed as

:08:45.:08:49.

the public debate is the meaning of a free press. The judge said

:08:50.:08:52.

reporters need to know that punishment will follow if breaches

:08:53.:08:58.

of the criminal law approved. The Prime Minister, who has apologised

:08:59.:09:01.

for bringing Andy Coulson into Downing Street, echoed those

:09:02.:09:06.

sentiments. It says it is right that justice should be done and no one is

:09:07.:09:16.

above the law. The Sun columnist told me she spoke to him as he

:09:17.:09:21.

travelled to court. He has decided he is going to find a positive out

:09:22.:09:26.

of this. He says it is what it is and he says it is what it is

:09:27.:09:33.

anti-ropes to come Andy Coulson is in a prison cell, perhaps reflecting

:09:34.:09:40.

on the judge's comments. He knew about it and encouraged it when he

:09:41.:09:42.

should have stopped it. Thousands

:09:43.:09:48.

of Palestinians have attended the funeral of 17-year-old Mohammed Abu

:09:49.:09:49.

Khdair, who was murdered earlier The teenager's family believe he was

:09:50.:09:52.

killed in revenge for the murder funeral of 17-year-old Mohammed Abu

:09:53.:09:56.

Khdair, who was murdered earlier Israel deployed tight security

:09:57.:10:01.

as mourners carried his body Palestinian mourners clear the way

:10:02.:10:13.

for the coughing or Mohammed Abu Khdair. -- coffin. The abduction and

:10:14.:10:23.

killing of this teenager so soon after the killing of three Israeli

:10:24.:10:33.

teenagers stands out. He was a 16-year-old with a fashionable

:10:34.:10:39.

haircut. On Wednesday, he was abducted and killed. Israel says its

:10:40.:10:49.

investigation continues. His family says that this is the moment of his

:10:50.:10:57.

kidnapping. They argue that these CCTV pictures show a group of

:10:58.:11:03.

Israelis growing him into a car. You cannot make out the teenager, so it

:11:04.:11:09.

is hard to verify. His father went over CCTV pictures with me. He

:11:10.:11:15.

follows three Israeli families this week in mourning a teenage son.

:11:16.:11:19.

Three is really teenagers were killed. -- Israeli. You have any

:11:20.:11:33.

sympathy? TRANSLATION: I do not know how they were killed but we know who

:11:34.:11:40.

killed my son. The boy on the left was one of the three Israeli

:11:41.:11:45.

teenagers found dead on Monday. His family want justice for all of the

:11:46.:11:57.

victims. A murder is a murderer. Though shalt not kill. It does not

:11:58.:12:09.

say age or, an Arab or a Christian. Regardless of race a murderer should

:12:10.:12:13.

be brought to justice. These people do not trust Israeli justice. They

:12:14.:12:22.

wants people to leave cities so they can build a justice system of the

:12:23.:12:31.

Rh?ne. This week has shown Israelis and Palestinians that their

:12:32.:12:33.

teenagers are often the most vulnerable. The young pair the price

:12:34.:12:41.

for a conflict waged by adults. This week has led parents on each side

:12:42.:12:46.

more frightened and more angry. Israelis and Palestinians sure

:12:47.:12:51.

suffering but not necessarily understanding.

:12:52.:12:59.

The primary school teacher has been stabbed to death at the school in

:13:00.:13:04.

France. Prosecutors said the attack was carried out by the mother of one

:13:05.:13:08.

of the children in the infant bath. The education minister says the

:13:09.:13:13.

woman was thought to have serious psychiatric problems.

:13:14.:13:16.

Imams across the country used Friday prayers today to urge young Muslims

:13:17.:13:19.

not to go to Syria and Iraq to fight.

:13:20.:13:21.

In an open letter they say they've come together as a unified voice,

:13:22.:13:25.

to urge people to not to fall prey to the call for Jihad and not to

:13:26.:13:29.

Friday prayers at Burnley mosque. This is the holy month of Ramadan.

:13:30.:13:47.

Across the country, an open letter urging Muslims not to go off to

:13:48.:13:52.

fight in Syria and Iraq and to avoid sectarian divisions. We are doing

:13:53.:14:01.

everything in our capability to disseminate the message, email is

:14:02.:14:06.

only one of those platforms, using social media to make sure the

:14:07.:14:13.

message goes out to everyone who might be inclined to take part and

go and travel to Syria. might be inclined to take part and

:14:16.:14:19.

go and travel Mosques all over Britain sure none of the violent

:14:20.:14:26.

ideology you see in these videos. Today, urging young men not to fight

:14:27.:14:31.

in Syria will be welcomed by many. The problem is the radicalisation

:14:32.:14:37.

does not tend to happen in the mosque, it tends to happen on the

:14:38.:14:46.

end the net. -- internet. Amidst the Civil War, up to 500 British

:14:47.:14:52.

jihadists have gone to join violent groups. This man says he has been in

:14:53.:14:59.

Syria fighting for the front. I do not want to come back to what I left

:15:00.:15:06.

behind. If and when I come back to Britain it will be when the Islamic

:15:07.:15:11.

state comes to conquer Britain and I come to raise the black flag of

:15:12.:15:18.

Islam over Downing Street. These views alien to most British Muslims.

:15:19.:15:23.

For peaceful worshippers, they can only wish the conflict in Syria and

:15:24.:15:27.

the unwelcome publicity will end soon. Rolf Harris is behind bars

The Queen has formally named the Royal Navy's largest ever warship at

:16:19.:16:21.

a ceremony in five. The Queen has formally named the

:16:22.:16:24.

Royal Navy's largest ever A bottle of whiskey was smashed on the whole

:16:25.:16:27.

of the ship named in her honour. HMS Queen Elizabeth is the first of two

:16:28.:16:34.

new Royal Navy carriers being built. She weighs 65,000 tonnes and

:16:35.:16:40.

is longer than the Houses of Parliament. The total cost of the

:16:41.:16:44.

project has doubled in seven years to more than ?6 billion. Caroline

:16:45.:16:53.

Wyatt reports. HMS Queen Elizabeth, berthed alongside the ship she will

:16:54.:16:54.

replace will stop this new still keen to remain a global force.

:16:55.:17:06.

Those who have worked on her here in Forsyth came to celebrate the vessel

:17:07.:17:12.

that has kept these shipyards alive, employing 10,000 people across the

:17:13.:17:18.

UK. Then time for the Queen to christen her namesake with a

:17:19.:17:21.

distinctly Scottish flavour, a single malt whiskey, rather than the

:17:22.:17:26.

more traditional champagne. I name this ship Queen Elizabeth. May God

:17:27.:17:35.

bless her, and all who sail in her. APPLAUSE

:17:36.:17:45.

The carrier's journey to this day, though, has not always run smooth.

:17:46.:17:52.

Even as the pieces came together from shipyards across the land. She

:17:53.:17:57.

may be a giant of the Seas, but so is her cost. Critics say she is too

:17:58.:18:03.

big and too ambitious, a charge the Navy rejects. When you are a big

:18:04.:18:06.

nation, you do big things and this is one of those journeys. I feel

:18:07.:18:09.

very strongly that over the next 50 years we will look back on these

:18:10.:18:15.

early questions and say, why were we so shy? Politically today she is a

:18:16.:18:22.

potent weapon for the UK Government fighting to keep Scotland in the

:18:23.:18:25.

union as the referendum looms. I think it is a very proud day for

:18:26.:18:29.

Scotland and for the United Kingdom. This is the biggest ship the Royal

:18:30.:18:35.

Navy has ever had delivered and it is a long-term investment in

:18:36.:18:39.

Britain's security. Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond insisted

:18:40.:18:43.

shipbuilding would continue here even if the nation votes for

:18:44.:18:47.

independence. What keeps Forsyth save for the future is not the

:18:48.:18:52.

willpower of David Cameron, it is this magnificent deepwater facility

:18:53.:18:55.

and the great skills of the workforce. The emphasis today has

:18:56.:18:58.

been on the pride and the prowess of those creating this future flagship.

:18:59.:19:04.

But uncertainty remains over the other carrier, the Prince of Wales,

:19:05.:19:07.

and whether the next government can afford to run two such giants of the

:19:08.:19:14.

ocean. Today, the red arrows flew above, not the troubled new jet due

:19:15.:19:19.

to fly from aboard the carrier from 2018, on a ship that today at least

:19:20.:19:29.

in body is a kingdom still united. -- in bodies. The advance of the new

:19:30.:19:33.

generation of players at Winwood and was brought to a halt today when the

:19:34.:19:36.

old Masters Djokovic and Federer claimed their places in Sunday's

:19:37.:19:42.

final. Watching it all unfold, Joe Wilson. Take sides on centre court,

:19:43.:19:48.

Maria Sharapova, now in her role as the partner of Grigor Dimitrov, and

:19:49.:19:50.

Boris Becker, coaching Novak Djokovic, but oh to be out there on

:19:51.:19:55.

court. Give it robbed furthest from camera, Djokovic Nero, both throwing

:19:56.:20:00.

themselves into the third set. A point to Dmytro but the set to his

:20:01.:20:07.

opponent. -- to Dimitrov. Nowhere was their grip to be found. Fourth

:20:08.:20:14.

set tie-break, Dmytro still pushing, head to the net, this was his set

:20:15.:20:17.

point. Get up. Sometimes you just can't beat the court beneath your

:20:18.:20:23.

feet. Djokovic says Dimitrov is a future star, in other words he can

:20:24.:20:27.

wait a while. Djokovic through after a true battle. The second semifinal,

:20:28.:20:34.

Roger Federer against Milos Raonic. 32 years against 23, 17 grand slam

:20:35.:20:41.

titles against none. And maybe just one hair out of place.

:20:42.:20:44.

titles against none. And maybe just Federer seems to require so little

:20:45.:20:49.

energy to play near perfect tennis. Well, why wouldn't he go on forever?

:20:50.:20:56.

Federer won 6-1, 6-4, 6-4. He even makes it easy to keep score. And

:20:57.:21:03.

finally, there we'll be up hill and down dale for two days when the Tour

:21:04.:21:07.

de France sets off in Yorkshire for the first time this weekend. Nearly

:21:08.:21:11.

200 of the worlds best cyclists will face more than 200 miles of the most

:21:12.:21:15.

beautiful and generating countryside the county has to offer. It all

:21:16.:21:19.

starts tomorrow in Leeds, is the cyclists head off towards Skipton on

:21:20.:21:22.

their way to Harrogate. Then on day two, on Sunday, they ride from York

:21:23.:21:26.

through Huddersfield, ending up in Sheffield. And the route will be

:21:27.:21:32.

lined with thousands of people cheering them on. All types of pedal

:21:33.:21:40.

power were on show today, as Yorkshire welcomed the Tour de

:21:41.:21:44.

France. People here have embraced the world's most famous bike race.

:21:45.:21:49.

Thousands of old cycles have been painted yellow and now lined the

:21:50.:21:52.

route. It was brought here by Gary Verity, who saw an opportunity to

:21:53.:21:56.

show off the landscape of the White Rose. One of the defining moments

:21:57.:22:02.

was when we put the team up in the helicopter and showed them Yorkshire

:22:03.:22:08.

from the sky. Christian said thereafter I New York show but I did

:22:09.:22:11.

not know it was that gorgeous full stop it was not hard to see why they

:22:12.:22:14.

were so impressed by their aerial trip. Back on the ground it winding

:22:15.:22:23.

roads of the Dales on day one. Amateurs have been out in their

:22:24.:22:27.

thousands having a go, and bringing business to out of the way places.

:22:28.:22:31.

Wood it is fantastic, we have just been so much busier than usual. Even

:22:32.:22:38.

on wet days. It can be quiet. We have seen so many cyclists, maybe

:22:39.:22:43.

too many men in Lycra, but there you go! But more men in Lycra are on

:22:44.:22:48.

their way. The tour teams have been practising on Yorkshire's roads.

:22:49.:22:51.

They will be scolded by the French police, who were in demand for

:22:52.:22:57.

friendly photos today. -- they will be escorted by the French police.

:22:58.:23:04.

It is home moss, Cragg Vale, lots of steep inclines in the running to

:23:05.:23:13.

Sheffield so will be very tough. One of the big draws the race watchers

:23:14.:23:16.

will be the climb to the top of this summit. More people are set to line

:23:17.:23:21.

the roads coming into this tale than pack into Old Trafford for a

:23:22.:23:25.

premiership game but with the roads closed for hours either side, the

:23:26.:23:29.

advice if you want to be here is to hike or bike. Many are camping along

:23:30.:23:40.

the route in true Yorkshire weather. The bunting is up, the route is

:23:41.:23:46.

ready, let the tour begin. Although let's hope these don't get in the

:23:47.:23:53.

way. Let's look at the weather now with Louise Lear. Some dark clouds

:23:54.:23:54.

over Yorkshire. Sunny spells and showers, certainly

:23:55.:24:06.

a fresher feel, compatible have had in the south-east, 29 degrees across

:24:07.:24:12.

eastern England but the clouds invading as we saw across Yorkshire,

:24:13.:24:17.

and some persistent rain as well. That will steadily much its way

:24:18.:24:20.

through these two tonight and that is pretty important. -- through the

:24:21.:24:27.

east. A good drenching for the gardens. Quite humid across England

:24:28.:24:33.

and Wales, clearer skies further north. That rain still declare first

:24:34.:24:39.

thing on Saturday, -- still too clear.

:24:40.:24:45.

A real contrast in comparison to the last couple of mornings. However,

:24:46.:24:51.

things will become a little more optimistic as the day progresses.

:24:52.:24:56.

The drizzly rain easing away by lunchtime, we should get some sunny

:24:57.:24:59.

spells and things a bit more promising.

:25:00.:25:07.

Not quite as warm, but nevertheless some sunshine. An area of low

:25:08.:25:14.

pressure still anchors itself up into the North. A week where the

:25:15.:25:23.

front enhancing the showers. Rather breezy with the showers, and a
