:02:22. > :02:28.It is these sinister side of the online world, this summers Scottish
:02:29. > :02:32.police concentrated their third spun tackling the sexual abuse of
:02:33. > :02:37.children. Six weeks that revealed the scale of a growing problem.
:02:38. > :02:42.Codenamed Operation Lattise, detectives identified more than 500
:02:43. > :02:48.child victims. They recovered more than 30 million images of children
:02:49. > :02:51.as young as three being abused. On one computer alone, 10 million
:02:52. > :02:55.pictures and videos were discovered. These individuals want to be
:02:56. > :03:00.wherever children are, so they are using websites, forums, chat rooms
:03:01. > :03:04.that children use. These men, predominantly, are using the
:03:05. > :03:07.profiles of children, pretending to be children, effectively, to
:03:08. > :03:15.communicate with younger children, to groom them online, to offend
:03:16. > :03:20.against them. In this crime lab, the grim task of and beating a
:03:21. > :03:25.computer's dark secrets. In the worst case, it will take a team of
:03:26. > :03:28.four officers six months to simply view the material. Behind every
:03:29. > :03:32.image is a crime scene, a child who has been subject to abuse, and every
:03:33. > :03:37.time that image is shared, that child is made a victim again, and we
:03:38. > :03:44.need to make sure that both we tackle the crimes that are being
:03:45. > :03:49.committed. Young people are spending more and more time online. Parents

:04:01. > :04:04.the internet is not going to go away, it is potentially going to
:04:05. > :04:12.become more of a safety issue. Anybody can make up stories, they
:04:13. > :04:15.can kid on that they are a child. If they are just typing, you do not
:04:16. > :04:17.know anything about them. You need to constantly check and constantly
:04:18. > :04:24.monitor what your kids are doing, it will take something wrong to happen
:04:25. > :04:28.for you to figure that out. Reputation, safety and
:04:29. > :04:31.responsibility... While enforcement continues, so do efforts to warn
:04:32. > :04:34.children about potential dangers online. Those catching the abusers
:04:35. > :04:41.save prevention is their most powerful tool. Steven is in Glasgow
:04:42. > :04:45.now. A number of children reveal that risk is horrifying, but this is
:04:46. > :04:49.what police found after just six weeks, is it the tip of the iceberg?
:04:50. > :04:53.Police are always working in this area, but for six weeks during the
:04:54. > :04:57.summer they took the decision to target their resources on tackling
:04:58. > :05:01.online child sexual abuse. They did so because they wanted to shine a
:05:02. > :05:04.light on the problem, to understand the scale of it, and what they
:05:05. > :05:09.found, their starting point was that the more that they looked, the more
:05:10. > :05:13.that they found. Certainly, the biggest here seem to bear that out,
:05:14. > :05:17.the numbers are stark. You heard in the piece there, 30 million images
:05:18. > :05:21.of abuse children, more than 500 victims. The majority of those
:05:22. > :05:27.victims are from Scotland, but when they are talking about this problem,
:05:28. > :05:30.police described it as a national threat that is global in nature.
:05:31. > :05:36.Also, they say there is no stereotypical perpetrator, the ages
:05:37. > :05:40.of those arrested range from 14 to 80. They say they are looking to
:05:41. > :05:45.keep on top of new technology, a Constant Djakpa and for them as they
:05:46. > :05:47.look to tackle this growing problem. -- a constant challenge for them.

:05:56. > :05:57.The deal for an ?18 billion plant at Hinkley in Somerset
:05:58. > :06:00.was supposed to be signed today with the French energy company EDF
:06:01. > :06:03.and a Chinese company, which is a key investor.
:06:04. > :06:06.The Government says it will now make a final decision in the autumn.
:06:07. > :06:09.Our business editor, Simon Jack, reports.
:06:10. > :06:11.Just when you think you've got there,
:06:12. > :06:17.After EDF's board voted to give this project the green light,
:06:18. > :06:21.This tent should have been thronging with officials
:06:22. > :06:25.celebrating the start of construction in earnest,
:06:26. > :06:28.with the on-site workforce growing from hundreds to thousands.
:06:29. > :06:30.But the Government said, "Not so fast."
:06:31. > :06:32.Deeply disappointed, and I've spoken to many people
:06:33. > :06:34.who are really angry, people who have spent years
:06:35. > :06:37.working to get us to the position that we've got to.
:06:38. > :06:39.There was real celebrations yesterday when EDF's board made
:06:40. > :06:47.and this very much felt like a slap in the face from the UK Government.
:06:48. > :06:49.So what happens now? Basically, there are three options.
:06:50. > :06:56.think, read the small print and sign the original deal.
:06:57. > :07:00.Option two, renegotiate - try to save money by offering EDF
:07:01. > :07:03.a lower price for the energy from Hinkley, but this might
:07:04. > :07:05.further delay or risk the project collapsing,
:07:06. > :07:12.Option three, cancel - walk away, save ?18 billion,
:07:13. > :07:14.saying, after a decade of effort from two previous governments,
:07:15. > :07:20.But then where would the electricity everyone agrees we need
:07:21. > :07:24.The Government says it wants to take its time
:07:25. > :07:28.After all, this is a 50-year commitment we're talking about.
:07:29. > :07:31.It'll lock us in a contract that could cost consumers ?30 billion
:07:32. > :07:35.That all seems fair enough, but they didn't tell the very people
:07:36. > :07:38.building it until the last moment, and that seems a strange way
:07:39. > :07:42.to treat important trading partners like China, like France,
:07:43. > :07:44.at the very time you're trying to tell the world
:07:45. > :07:50.Remember, EDF is 85% owned by the French state.
:07:51. > :07:59.If one of the governments, one of the sides cancels the deal,
:08:00. > :08:03.it's going to be very bitter on the other side,
:08:04. > :08:05.and, yeah, it could contribute to a souring
:08:06. > :08:09.of the relationships between the two countries,
:08:10. > :08:11.especially in the context of the Brexit.
:08:12. > :08:16.China agreed to put in a third of the money,
:08:17. > :08:19.a result, in part, of a George Osborne charm offensive,
:08:20. > :08:21.but changing partners or price will be very difficult.
:08:22. > :08:23.I think, effectively, what it means
:08:24. > :08:27.is that the deal in its current form is dead in the water.
:08:28. > :08:31.I think the only reason for a review can be one of two factors.
:08:32. > :08:34.First, that the Government don't like the price that is being asked.
:08:35. > :08:37.Second, that they don't like the involvement of the Chinese
:08:38. > :08:43.I think it's going to be very difficult
:08:44. > :08:49.Once again, the decision on this mammoth project
:08:50. > :08:53.this time for the Government to decide the way forward.
:08:54. > :09:01.was due to start generating power in 2025.
:09:02. > :09:04.So with the project on pause for now, what are the Government's
:09:05. > :09:07.other options for making sure the lights stay on in future?
:09:08. > :09:08.Here's our science editor, David Shukman,
:09:09. > :09:11.and, David, it's a very complicated picture.
:09:12. > :09:16.You're right, it is complicated, and the context for this
:09:17. > :09:19.long-running saga is that over the past decade one government
:09:20. > :09:22.after another has tried to balance three very different aims,
:09:23. > :09:25.keeping the lights on as older power stations are phased out,
:09:26. > :09:29.keeping energy bills as low as possible for consumers,
:09:30. > :09:33.and cutting our carbon emissions to help tackle climate change.
:09:34. > :09:39.So Hinkley, which would produce 7% of UK needs
:09:40. > :09:41.with carbon-free power, meets two of those objectives,
:09:42. > :09:49.Even so, supporters say it's essential.
:09:50. > :09:56.When you look at a nuclear plant back row, we look at capital cost,
:09:57. > :09:59.it is very high, but you have to look at the lifetime cost, and how
:10:00. > :10:04.long they are generating four. Hinkley Point will be generating for
:10:05. > :10:08.50 years plus, and for all of that time it will be giving secure
:10:09. > :10:13.electricity, reliable electricity and clean electricity continuously.
:10:14. > :10:16.The two reactors planned for Hinkley were picked because they were the
:10:17. > :10:21.most modern design with the largest power output. The operating concept
:10:22. > :10:25.is the same as for a pressurised water reactor... But the project to
:10:26. > :10:29.build these EPR reactors have struggled. One in Finland is running
:10:30. > :10:36.nine years late, and there is not yet one working anywhere. So what
:10:37. > :10:39.about alternatives? Renewable energy produced 25% of UK power in the
:10:40. > :10:44.first three months of this year. It is carbon free and costs are
:10:45. > :10:50.falling, but wind and solar are intermittent, which really matters
:10:51. > :10:54.in a long, cold winter. Gas is another option. It provided 37% of
:10:55. > :10:59.our power earlier this year. It is the cleanest fossil fuel, but either
:11:00. > :11:04.we imported, which creates uncertainty, or get it by fracking.
:11:05. > :11:11.And we've seen the opposition to that. So a serious home-grown supply
:11:12. > :11:16.could be years away. A third option is to be more efficient. Modern
:11:17. > :11:20.appliances use less power than older ones, so demand fell 6% over the
:11:21. > :11:25.past three years, nearly as much as Hinkley would generate. So critics
:11:26. > :11:29.say nuclear power is a costly mistake. If you look at the cost of
:11:30. > :11:33.Hinkley to the consumer, astronomical, they are now talking
:11:34. > :11:37.about consumers paying ?30 billion above the wholesale price of
:11:38. > :11:47.electricity during its lifetime, a huge sum of money, and then you got
:11:48. > :11:50.to deal with the nuclear waste. You got to store this wait for hundreds
:11:51. > :11:50.of thousands of years, it is very radioactive. They don't know what
:11:51. > :11:53.they are going to do without waste. Ultimately, there are no
:11:54. > :11:54.easy options, all of those objectives
:11:55. > :11:57.of being reliable, Big decisions about energy
:11:58. > :12:00.are always hard, and this one
:12:01. > :12:02.is tougher than most. Hillary Clinton has formally
:12:03. > :12:07.accepted the Democratic nomination In a speech at the party's
:12:08. > :12:11.convention in Philadelphia, she took aim at her rival

:26:55. > :26:57.plenty of scenes sent in like the one behind me. This is a funnel
:26:58. > :27:02.cloud in Cambridgeshire taken over the last hour. Lots of pictures sent
:27:03. > :27:05.in these funnel clouds across Cambridge, down towards Essex. This
:27:06. > :27:13.is indicative of a lot of energy in the atmosphere. There's been a real
:27:14. > :27:15.mix of sunny skies across parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland and
:27:16. > :27:20.England, but we have this front sinking south and on that system
:27:21. > :27:25.heavy showers. The odd thunderstorm for parts of the Pennines and
:27:26. > :27:28.eastern England, the heaviest of the showers should be easing away.
:27:29. > :27:30.Things becoming largely dry overnight tonight with just a
:27:31. > :27:35.scattering of showers continuing across the North West of Scotland.
:27:36. > :27:38.For most of us, temperatures feeling cooler and less humid compared to
:27:39. > :27:43.recent nights. Still miles towards the south-east. Through the day, we
:27:44. > :27:46.have a north westerly airflow bringing us a slightly fresher feel
:27:47. > :27:50.to the weather. Lots of dry weather with long spells of sunshine and
:27:51. > :27:54.some showers popping up during the afternoon, particularly towards the
:27:55. > :27:59.North West. Temperatures round about 17 or 18, but further south, we
:28:00. > :28:04.could see 22 or 23. Heading through the course of Saturday evening and
:28:05. > :28:07.overnight, the daytime showers will fade away. Largely dry and clear
:28:08. > :28:10.conditions into the early hours of Sunday morning and it will be chilly
:28:11. > :28:18.first thing, looking at single figures in the countryside. A fresh
:28:19. > :28:21.start to the day but the should be plenty of sunshine once again. A
:28:22. > :28:26.similar day for Saturday. A westerly breeze bringing a mix of sunny
:28:27. > :28:30.spells and scattered showers particularly towards the north-west.
:28:31. > :28:36.Temperatures cooler than they have been. Feeling a touch cooler as we
:28:37. > :28:37.had through the weekend but for most of us, the should be some decent
:28:38. > :28:41.spells of sunshine. That's all from the BBC News at Six,
:28:42. > :28:44.so it's goodbye from me and on BBC One we now join the BBC's
:28:45. > :28:45.news teams where you are.
