David Cameron's resignation Honours list - Downing St says

Theresa May won't intervene - despite claims it

On leaving No 10 - Mr Cameron has nominated political

supporters and former staff - friends say he's rewarding people

Actually, when you think about it, providing these honours,

actually, the taxpayer is getting a bargain.

Most reasonable people would say it is unacceptable to give an honour

We'll be looking at the names on the list -

and at the controversy that surrounds the honours system.

Downing Street has said Theresa May will not block David Cameron's

resignation honours list - despite allegations of cronyism.

A list leaked to the Sunday Times claimed Mr Cameron had chosen

to reward Remain campaigners, donors, and No 10 staff -

including his wife Samantha's adviser and stylist.

Supporters of Mr Cameron have said he was simply recognising

people who'd served both him and the nation.

Our political correspondent Vicki Young reports.

David Cameron's departure from Downing Street was more sudden

Many who had been by his side during those

six years at the top watched as he made his final speech outside

No 10 after the dramatic loss of the EU referendum.

And I want to thank everyone who's given so much support

Mr Cameron is preparing to thank some

of his closest allies through his resignation honours list.

It's the Royal family who actually hand out the OBEs,

We're leaving Downing Street for the last time...

Mr Cameron's not the first Prime Minister to draw

In 1990 Margaret Thatcher gave gongs to

a newspaper editor and her press secretary.

John Major rewarded several Conservative MPs and staff.

Tony Blair didn't have such a list when he left office.

But he'd previously been engulfed in a cash-for-honours scandal.

Today, all nominations are reviewed by

independent committees to make sure they're above board.

And Mr Cameron's supporters say those on

Street, the Prime Minister will have built up a huge debt of gratitude.

The new Prime Minister, Theresa May, has ruled out blocking

Downing Street said it would set a very bad

Over the years political honours have often caused a stir, it looked

like prime ministers were rewarding rich donors or putting their mates

in the House of Lords, which some people fear what this kind of does

is undermine the whole system and devalued the thousands of rewards

which are given to people across the country who work often for decades

for no pay to make their communities better place. STUDIO: Thank you,

Vicki Young. A mentally ill man who tried

to behead a musician during a rampage at Leytonstone Tube

Station in London has Muhiddin Mire suffers from paranoid

schizophrenia - and he believed for being Muslim, as June Kelly

reports. It was the start of a Saturday night

when Muhiddin Mire ran amok with a knife in this Tube station. Here he

was following musician Lars Immelman who was on his way to a gig laden

with instruments and equipment. On the ticket hall he pounced on him.

The musician spoke to the BBC today. He isn't showing his face because he

doesn't want what happened to him to define his identity. I remember

being punched and kicked on the ground, then I lost consciousness,

probably for five minutes or so, and then found myself being looked after

expertly by a junior doctor. As he lay unconscious, Muhiddin Mire had

slashed his throat. He shouted that he was going to spill blood for his

Syrian brothers. I feel that he's been suffering from

mental health issues for a long time. I'm not at all interested in

retribution. Muhiddin Mire was finally brought under control by

police using a tasers stun gun, prompting this from one onlooker.

This simple response went viral on social media and was reported around

the world. You went no Muslim.

I don't feel traumatised by the event. It seems to me that people

who have had significantly tragic outcomes from this incident are

mostly Mr Meyer and his family and I feel nothing but pity for them.

Today the judge said Muhiddin Mire had been motivated by Muslims being

bombed in Surrey and had images relating to so-called Islamic State

on his phone. He will serving a minimum of eight

and a half years and will start his sentence in Broadmoor high security

hospital -- bombed in Syria. June Kelly, BBC News.

The City trader who was jailed for Britain's biggest-ever

banking fraud said crimes like his could happen again,

as workers are under pressure to make profits "no matter what".

Kweku Adoboli said he was sorry for his actions -

but he thinks the culture of banking hasn't sufficiently changed.

He spoke exclusively to our economics editor Kamal Ahmed.

He became the very public face of the worst excesses of banking.

Jailed and forever known as the biggest rogue trader in banking

history. One of the difficult things about

coming out of prison is that there is a lot of work to rebuild your

life. Today, four years after his conviction, gone, the ?360,000 per

year payback, he is dependent on friends for support. I began by

asking him what caused that first step on a journey into criminality.

We started, you know, trying to spread our wings and make profits.

Because, in 2009 we were being asked by our senior managers to take more

risk. As we got through 2010 and 2011, as we were generating more

profits, we started to be told to spread our wings even more. So, you

know, you'd get e-mails come through saying revenue, revenue, revenue.

The court heard dramatic evidence of that hunt for revenue, fictitious

accounts, secret slush funds. He was called the master fraudster, out of

control as bets on the market went wrong and he tried to hide

increasing losses. Britain's biggest ever fraud, jailed

for the rogue city trader who lost more than ?1 billion.

Kweku Adoboli was sentenced to seven years in prison, now he's looking

for redemption. I have apologised and I will

continue apologising. I am devastated, not for myself, but for

my institution and the people whom I worked with. These are not just

devices, it's how I feel, I failed, I make mistakes. You were called a

liar. I was called a liar and I accept that I lied and I was

dishonest in the way that I was doing what I was doing. Has

behaviour changed in banking enough? No, absolutely not. I think the

young people I've spoken to, former colleagues I've spoken to, are still

struggling with the same issues, the same conflicts, the same pressures

to achieve no matter what. This is one Finsbury Ave in central London,

the home of UBS's equities trading and where Kweku Adoboli used to

work. Since 2012 and his conviction, crossed the banking sector, has

culture changed? Yes, there are thousands more compliance officers,

yes, there are thousands more pages of regulation, but at its simplest,

banking is a mixture of money, profit and risk, and that can be

toxic combination. Well, this is a book, a sort of a

scrapbook that I had imprisoned actually.

Looking back, Kweku Adoboli, older now and maybe wiser, can never work

in banking again. It's been a long journey.

It would be wonderful if we could turn the page and start the next

step. But, yeah. It's been a long journey...

For Kweku Adoboli, a new legal battle. He is fighting extradition

back to where he was born, Ghana. He says he has something to offer the

UK, giving advice on encouraging traders away from criminal

behaviour. Kamal Ahmed, BBC News. The founder and two staff members

of a flagship free school - which is state-funded

but independently run - face jail after being found guilty

of fraudulently obtaining As our education editor

Branwyn Jeffreys reports, Sajid Hussain Raza and two others

were convicted of diverting Department for Education grants

to their own bank accounts. Standing at the Prime Minister's

shoulder, Sajid Raza was proud One of the first free schools

in David Cameron's flagship policy. But this headteacher had financial

problems and a history of deceit. Raza was struggling with debt

when he applied to open this school. Soon, he was stealing money to pay

mortgages on buy-to-let properties, claiming false expenses,

an inflated salary. A school credit card

was used to buy a car. Far from being a model school,

Raza treated the Academy Employing his relatives

there and operating The defendants treated public money

like their own and when challenged, fabricated documents

to cover their tracks. In October 2012, the Education

Funding Agency received allegations By January 2013, an audit team

was on site investigating. And in January 2014,

the principal Sajid But the case raises questions

about what happened earlier. How did a man with unpaid debts

get his hands on public money? Why were the early concerns

about his suitability overlooked? Branwen is with me now. Free Schools

are quite new in England, where they set up with the right checks and

balances? They suggest, at least in this case, there was a scramble to

approve applications. In just two months, a man who had mounting

debts, already had a court judgment against him, the first of several,

was able to get permission to open a school with public money as the

first grants were arriving in the company's bank account. Some of that

money, as we know now, diverted to pay the mortgages of buy-to-let

properties he was struggling to manage. It raises questions about

why the concerns of senior civil servants want to listen to. When he

was challenged he threatened to call the then Education Secretary Michael

Gove, and all of those concerns seem to have been brushed aside.

Department for Education says systems are in place to check up on

Free Schools and they acted quickly on the allegations, but it raises a

number of very serious questions. Branwen Jeffreys, thank you.

The time is 6:14pm. The top story this evening: David Cameron's

resignation honours list. Downing Street says Theresa May will not

intervene despite claims it amounts to cronyism. Coming up: join us at

until the Olympics begin, Russia's Sports Minister

Vitaly Mutko expects the decision on whether Russian athletes can take

part in Rio to be made People in the UK are now twice

as likely to survive cancer for at least ten years

than they were at the Figures show that more than 170,000

people in the UK told they had But the chances of getting

cancer remain high - after 1960 will be diagnosed

with some form of it And even after treatment,

the consequences of a cancer diagnosis live on,

with hundreds of thousands of people presently having

depression as a result. Our Health Correspondent

Dominic Hughes reports. This is the website I made

to help and inspire others. Greg Trout has beaten cancer not

once, but twice. As a child and then as an adult,

he saw off the illness. But as his physical health

recovered, what he didn't anticipate were the psychological battles

he would have to fight and the support he'd need

in the months to come. It was actually surviving cancer,

that's when I really I was gripped by anxiety, fear,

that the cancer may return And I suffered with post-traumatic

stress disorder and that turned out to be my worst

experience with cancer. The other form of treatment

is known as chemotherapy... Our understanding of cancer has been

transformed since the 1970s. Better diagnosis and more

sophisticated drugs means an increasing number of people

are living with the disease. There are amazing differences

between treatment nowadays Not only are the differences

in treatment, but screening technology has advanced

so we're getting cancers And if they're caught early,

for the most part, cancer survival But cancer charities warn that

surviving the disease can People are living longer

with cancer, but they're living with really long-term

consequences as well. So those people who were diagnosed

in the 1970s and '80s, 170,000 of them are surviving right

now, but they have financial issues, emotional issues,

psychological issues. And what that's really painting

a picture of is the fact that going forward, the cancer

story is changing. And some cancers such as brain

and lung, remain hard to spot Here at the Christie in Manchester,

one of the country's leading specialist cancer hospitals,

there's been some real progress But there is an acknowledgement too

that some forms of the disease Since the war against cancer

was announced by the Americans in 1971, to now, I think

the progress has been immense. However, certain

cancers have struggled. We haven't had chemotherapies

and radiotherapies If you don't put cancers

into trials, you're not They need trials and they need

resource. Greig is one of the growing number

who have survived cancer. But experts warn that

while the disease is no longer necessarily life-limiting,

it remains life-changing. A 12-year-old boy and three other

teenagers have appeared in Manchester Crown Court

charged with murder. Bradley Moore, who was in his 40s,

died in hospital after he was attacked near a McDonald's

restaurant in The boys cannot be named

for legal reasons. With only four days

to go to the Rio Games, a member of the International

Olympic Committee has told the BBC there has to be a complete overhaul

of anti-doping practice to prevent a repeat of the Russian

doping scandal. Today Russia's sports

ministry said it should know by tomorrow how

many Our sports editor Dan Roan has

the latest from Rio. Four days and counting, final

preparations continue here as Rio gets ready for the start of the

games. But as the fallout from the Russian doping scandal continues to

mar the build-up, one member of the International Olympic Committee

today told me such a crisis must never happen again. There has to be

a complete overhaul of the system, I would love to see a completely

independent body that takes care of anti-doping in the world right now.

There are too many conflicts of interest we have between the

different bodies in the world. That is inevitable when

international sport is intertwined, but this is the number one pressure

for the international movement, I think. Russia's women's archers are

world champions and aiming for Olympic gold. They have been cleared

to compete at the International Confederation but must wait for

confirmation from an IOC panel that has been set up to test each

athlete's drug record. They will be told tomorrow which of the team has

been cleared. I think archery is a clean sport, and there is no issue.

This year, they have passed all the doping tests. One of the sports is

rowing, due to take place here in this spectacular venue. 22 members

of the Russian team have been banned because they failed new eligibility

criteria, in effect they were deemed to have not been tested enough

outside of their own country. That is five crews reduced to just one.

Once again, Team GB hoped to be the dominant nation in this sport, but

as Russia's depleted squad take away from the competition? The most

important thing is the credibility and ethics of Olympic sport, by a

long way, so I think that unless that is being tackled and that is

what is really important, if there are one or two boats that are not

rowing, that is minor compared to the message that the public need to

be confident of. But the games face other challenges, too. A study found

that waste levels in the waters remain dangerously high, and

pollution isn't the only worry at the sailing venue, where the main

brand -- the main ramp for a boats to enter the water has partly

collapsed. For the organisers of Rio 2016, the sooner the actual sport

begins, the better. The United States has carried out

air strikes in Libya, targeting the so-called Islamic State group

in the city of Sirte. The Pentagon said the raids

were carried out at the request of the country's recently

installed unity government, and that it would continue to target

Sirte in an effort to prevent IS from establishing what it called

a safe haven in Libya. It's been another tough day

for the Republican Presidential candidate, Donald Trump,

as leading party members distance themselves from his attacks

on the family of a Muslim army In an exclusive interview,

the captain's father told our North America Editor Jon

Sopel he won't ask for an apology Trouble for Donald Trump...

This is one fight that people are telling Donald Trump he can't win,

but he isn't listening, complaining again on social media that he had

been the subject of a vicious attack by the Khan family. Their speech

about the death of their son, a Muslim captain posthumous awarded

the Bronze staffer heroism. I asked them if they had committed an attack

on Mr Trump. He can insult, he can disrespect women, judges, even the

members of his own party, yet when an ordinary citizen of this country,

a patriotic American Muslim of this country, says anything about him, he

says he has been viciously attacked. He has different sets of rights. We

all have same equal rights. Ghazala Khan was derided by Mr Trump for not

having spoken at the convention. What was her reaction to that?

Without saying a word, I was sitting in their heart. Everyone in the

audience felt it. So I was surprised that he doesn't feel the pain. What

type of person doesn't feel the pain? You are attacking Mr Trump

over his behaviour, very openly. Isn't there a danger that you will

get attacked openly as well? In every person's life, there comes a

time when you choose to either say what is the call of the time or shy

away. I felt my family supported my stand, they said, you should do

that, and the burden, we would equally bear. The normal law of

politics is that if you are in a hole, you stop digging, but that is

not Donald Trump's style. Not only over the Khan family, this weekend

he has got in a right tangle over policy towards Ukraine, and having

previously said he had a close relationship with Vladimir Putin, he

has now clarified he has never met him. It has not been a great few

days for the Republican candidate. Jon Sopel, BBC News, Washington.

The Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks have grown

The park boundaries are now within touching

distance of each other either side of the M6 motorway.

Fiona Trott is in Kirkby Lonsdale in Cumbria for us this evening.

Hello, Rita Makro. Welcome to Cumbria. This is now part of the

Yorkshire Dales national park, but the local town isn't, that stays the

same. As these national parks now take up a great swathe of northern

England, we have been asking people what effect they think it will have.

The beauty of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

By broadening its boundaries, even more of this breathtaking

More money will be spent on conservation, public

From today, parts of Kirkby Lonsdale and Cumbria are within the national

park, but what difference will it make?

My only worry is commercialising areas of outstanding national beauty

will mean one thing. Car parks, visitor centres, cafes. Boundary

extension has raised concerns with farmers and local businesses because

the national park has responsibility for planning issues. This is where

it is important that we work together with the National park in

their role is planning authority to make sure they understand how

critically important economic development is to the area. Unless

there is a diverse, thriving rural economy, there will not be jobs for

young people, opportunities, we will lose the sense of community.

The National Park Authority says it understands people's concerns.

We don't think there will be a problem. We recognise the importance

in rural areas in particular of sustainability and fine ability --

viability of local communities. We intend to play our part in that.

And because villagers like these make this part of England

so special, the National Park Authority says their identity

And if more of them are protected, there'll be more of Britain's

The weather has been great in the Dales today. The cloud and the rain

is really soggy across the south-west, but it will be mild here

tonight. The North, particularly Scotland, clear skies in some areas,

and it will be nippy. The reason for this big north-south divide is we

have this weather fronts slicing the country in half at around about the

Dales. Look at the breeze in the south-west, as well. 15, perhaps 17

degrees, and rural spots in Scotland, really nippy, possibility

of down to two degrees. The possibility of a touch of grass

frost in some areas. So it starts fresh and bright in some areas, and

the thicker cloud will push further into western parts of Scotland. The

best of the weather will be across these far north-eastern areas. In

the south it will stay cloudy and muddy. Tomorrow, through the

evening, it looks as though some of that heavier rain will push into

Scotland, just a little more. Wednesday, low pressure over us,

quite a few isobars, it will be a windy Wednesday, with showers across

the Northwest. The south-east of the country not doing too badly at all,

and temperatures will be in the mid-20s, quite often it looks like

it won't be quite so warm in the south-east with the wind coming of

the Atlantic, but I think we will get that. 17 in Glasgow, so fresher

there. Let's summarise the week, it looks as though things will stay

quite settled across the south, with temperatures into the 20s. The

Northwest will keep a few showers going. Thank you, Tomasz.

David Cameron's resignation honours list. Downing Street says it will

not intervene. That's all from the BBC News at Six,
