Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:00.:01:26.

The footballer Ched Evans has been found not guilty of raping

:01:27.:01:28.

The Welsh international was originally convicted

:01:29.:01:35.

of raping her in a hotel in May 2011 and served over two years in prison.

:01:36.:01:39.

There was then an outcry when he tried to return

:01:40.:01:41.

His conviction was later quashed at the Court of Appeal.

:01:42.:01:44.

After today's acquittal, Evans said he was

:01:45.:01:46.

Sian Lloyd is outside Cardiff Crown Court.

:01:47.:01:55.

It has taken five years for Ched Evans to get to this point but very

:01:56.:02:00.

little time for the jury to acquit him? Yes, it took the jury three

:02:01.:02:08.

hours to find Ched Evans innocent, there were gasps and cries from the

:02:09.:02:13.

public gallery where his family had been watching and they have been

:02:14.:02:15.

with Ched Evans every step of the way. Leaving court a free man. His

:02:16.:02:24.

fiancee Natasha by his side, for five years Ched Evans maintained his

:02:25.:02:27.

innocence and today a jury of seven women and five men acquitted him of

:02:28.:02:31.

rape. He has cleared his name. Thanks go to my friends and family,

:02:32.:02:38.

most notably my fiance, Natasha. Who chose perhaps incredibly to support

:02:39.:02:44.

me in my darkest hour. Whilst my innocence has been established, I

:02:45.:02:48.

wish to make it clear that I wholeheartedly apologise to anyone

:02:49.:02:53.

who might have been affected by the events of the night in question.

:02:54.:02:57.

Minutes earlier the couple had hugged and cried after Ched Evans

:02:58.:03:01.

was released from the dock. Members of his family shouted yes as the

:03:02.:03:06.

verdict was read out. At the age of 22, Ched Evans had his career in

:03:07.:03:10.

front of him when charged with raping a 19-year-old woman in hotel

:03:11.:03:15.

room. He had been capped 13 times for Wales and was playing for

:03:16.:03:19.

Sheffield United. His career ended when he was convicted in April 20

:03:20.:03:24.

12. That conviction was quashed in the Court of Appeal after fresh

:03:25.:03:27.

evidence was produced and a retrial ordered. That trial began last

:03:28.:03:33.

Monday. The prosecution took a trip back to the early hours of the 30th

:03:34.:03:38.

of May 2011 when Ched Evans let himself into the hotel room with

:03:39.:03:42.

fellow footballer who had been having consensual sex with the young

:03:43.:03:47.

woman. Simon Medland QC said she was so drunk she did not know what was

:03:48.:03:50.

happening. She could not have consented to sex with Ched Evans, he

:03:51.:03:55.

said. But Ched Evans told the jury she had allowed him to join in. The

:03:56.:04:01.

court heard from two men who had not spoken

:04:02.:04:12.

before and they described occasions when they have sex with the young

:04:13.:04:16.

woman. Evidence of alleged victim 's sexual behaviour is only put before

:04:17.:04:18.

a jury in exceptional circumstances. In this case it was said the events

:04:19.:04:21.

be two men described were so similar to what Ched Evans claimed that the

:04:22.:04:23.

jury had to hear them before deciding whether the woman was

:04:24.:04:26.

capable of giving consent. The prosecution suggested they were

:04:27.:04:30.

motivated by a ?50,000 reward that had been posted on a website.

:04:31.:04:35.

Looking for information that could lead to its original conviction

:04:36.:04:40.

being overturned. Both bentonite asking for or being offered any

:04:41.:04:45.

money. Leaving court, Ched Evans was asked whether the apology in his

:04:46.:04:47.

statement applied to the young woman. No statement. He didn't

:04:48.:04:55.

respond to that. What does the future hold for you? Or say what his

:04:56.:05:03.

future holds. Ched Evans is now free to return to his club, Chesterfield,

:05:04.:05:08.

where he signed in the summer. Tonight the club issued a statement

:05:09.:05:11.

and the Chief Executive said it welcomed the news of his acquittal,

:05:12.:05:17.

particularly for Ched Evans, his family and friends and added, we can

:05:18.:05:20.

move forward and focus on football. Sian Loyd at Cardiff Crown Court.

:05:21.:05:23.

Thank you. Expect prices to rise -

:05:24.:05:26.

that's the warning from the the Governor

:05:27.:05:28.

of the Bank of England. Mark Carney says inflation will go

:05:29.:05:30.

up as a direct result of the fall in the value of the pound caused

:05:31.:05:33.

by uncertainty over Britain's He said life would get difficult

:05:34.:05:36.

for those on lowest incomes as we move from no

:05:37.:05:39.

inflation to some inflation. Food is likely to be the first

:05:40.:05:42.

to experience price rises as we currently import over half

:05:43.:05:44.

of what we consume from abroad. Our economics editor

:05:45.:05:48.

Kamal Ahmed reports. Uphill for the governor. He has

:05:49.:05:59.

admitted the bank has intervened more often than usual as the UK

:06:00.:06:03.

economy becomes familiar with a new era of uncertainty. And some of

:06:04.:06:08.

those rather uncertain members of the public gathered today in the

:06:09.:06:11.

West Midlands to hear what the governor that with the key

:06:12.:06:14.

challenges as Britain plots its way out of the European Union. What are

:06:15.:06:19.

you hoping to hear? I am constantly looking at inflation figures for my

:06:20.:06:26.

job but for the impact on my husband's job, my son's potential

:06:27.:06:30.

employment, these are massive considerations. Mr Carney said

:06:31.:06:35.

inflation was creeping back and could hit the poorest hardest. We

:06:36.:06:40.

have had a long period of low inflation, very low, and it is

:06:41.:06:44.

starting to go up. The principal reason will be the movement in the

:06:45.:06:48.

currency, that will flow through to prices on the high-street relatively

:06:49.:06:53.

quickly. This public meeting in Birmingham is really part of the

:06:54.:06:57.

bank's attempts to be more transparent, concern has focused on

:06:58.:07:02.

inflation but it is more than simple price rises, it is the effective as

:07:03.:07:07.

price rises on what Theresa May described as the just managing

:07:08.:07:11.

classes. People who are in work but are still struggling to get by. But

:07:12.:07:16.

with the threat of inflation approaching and the economy

:07:17.:07:19.

performing strongly, does that mean another interest rate cut is off the

:07:20.:07:23.

table? The economy is performing a little better than expected. I'll be

:07:24.:07:28.

at it has slowed relative to the rate it had prior to the referendum.

:07:29.:07:33.

We have to take into account inflation considerations, we will

:07:34.:07:36.

take all of that into account. Afterwards I caught up with a

:07:37.:07:40.

teacher. Do you feel more confident you have had time to listen to the

:07:41.:07:45.

governor and other members of the Bank of England? Absolutely, he

:07:46.:07:49.

clearly said we will save some jobs at this point if necessary and we

:07:50.:07:53.

might have short-term inflation in two years and we will worry about

:07:54.:07:58.

solving that after that. And lower pound can be a spark for growth and

:07:59.:08:03.

a little bit of inflation can also help. For the steel company just

:08:04.:08:06.

down the road, the falling pound is good news. We will be able to sell

:08:07.:08:12.

cheaper into foreign markets, we just expect an increase in turnover

:08:13.:08:18.

as a result of that, which we desperately need. Mark Carney is

:08:19.:08:25.

engaged in a tricky balancing act. He's any economic slowdown but do

:08:26.:08:29.

not allow inflation to become too hot. If prices march upwards it will

:08:30.:08:33.

not be long before the complaints begin. Kamal Ahmed, BBC News,

Birmingham. A four-month-old baby boy has died

:08:35.:08:37.

after being attacked by a dog His 22-month-old brother was also

:08:38.:08:40.

attacked and received what police The children's mother was also taken

:08:41.:08:43.

to hospital with minor injuries. Daniel Boettcher is in Colchester

:08:44.:08:47.

for us this evening. Daniel, this is the second time

:08:48.:08:49.

a child has been killed by a dog Yes, in August three-year-old boy,

:08:50.:09:05.

Dexter Neal, died after being by it dog in Essex and today, confirmation

:09:06.:09:09.

from police that a four-month-old boy has died after being attacked in

:09:10.:09:13.

the house behind me by what is believed to be a Staffordshire bull

:09:14.:09:17.

terrier-type dog. The house remains sealed off as detectives try to

:09:18.:09:19.

establish exactly what happened here.

:09:20.:09:21.

Set out on the pavement in front of the house,

:09:22.:09:23.

flowers and messages of sympathy, tributes to a life lost so young.

:09:24.:09:26.

The baby boy who died here was just four months old.

:09:27.:09:30.

The dog that attacked him also left the boy's 22-month-old brother

:09:31.:09:34.

Friends, neighbours and strangers have all come to pay their respects.

:09:35.:09:41.

As a parent, you can't imagine how the parents feel and what

:09:42.:09:44.

So I just wanted to put some flowers down.

:09:45.:09:50.

I cannot imagine what the parents must be going through. To lose a

:09:51.:09:56.

child or a baby is just awful. Police and paramedics were called

:09:57.:09:58.

to the house yesterday afternoon. Inside, the dog had attacked

:09:59.:10:01.

not just the two boys, but their mother too,

:10:02.:10:03.

though she suffered Police say the dog,

:10:04.:10:05.

which has been put down, was a Staffordshire

:10:06.:10:10.

bull terrier-type. It's not clear if it

:10:11.:10:11.

belonged to the family. An investigation is now under way

:10:12.:10:16.

to establish the facts as to how I can confirm that nobody

:10:17.:10:19.

has been arrested. This is obviously a very difficult

:10:20.:10:24.

time for the family, who are being supported

:10:25.:10:27.

by specially trained officers. The law on dangerous dogs has

:10:28.:10:31.

already been tightened, in part because the number

:10:32.:10:34.

of injuries has been rising, hospital admissions going up

:10:35.:10:37.

from just over 6000 in England five years ago to more than 7,300

:10:38.:10:42.

in the most recent figures. This tragedy has already led to some

:10:43.:10:46.

calls for a further review. We've seen two really terrible

:10:47.:10:51.

attacks in the last few months here in Essex,

:10:52.:10:53.

and questions will be rightly asked to take more action nationally

:10:54.:10:56.

with regard to legislation This evening, the police

:10:57.:11:00.

inquiry here continues. The 22-month-old boy

:11:01.:11:06.

who was seriously injured in the attack has been transferred

:11:07.:11:08.

to a specialist unit in hospital. The former Chief of the Defence

:11:09.:11:11.

Staff, Lord Bramall, says he's received a personal

:11:12.:11:19.

apology from the head of the Metropolitan Police,

editor, Sarah Smith. Nicola Sturgeon thrilled conference

:12:18.:12:25.

delegates with the news that she's preparing for a second referendum

:12:26.:12:27.

on Scottish independence. Of course, the message was aimed not

:12:28.:12:31.

just at them, Ms Sturgeon told me why she doesn't

:12:32.:12:34.

trust that Theresa May will take her concerns

:12:35.:12:39.

about Brexit seriously. So far, I don't see the signs

:12:40.:12:43.

of her being serious. I think Theresa May has to prove

:12:44.:12:46.

that she meant what she said, just as I have to prove to people

:12:47.:12:50.

that I'm serious The ball, to some extent,

:12:51.:12:52.

is in her court. She's the one who says

:12:53.:12:59.

she values the UK. My message to the Prime Minister

:13:00.:13:02.

is, time to prove it. Why should the Prime Minister take

:13:03.:13:04.

seriously the ultimatum She reads the same opinion polls

:13:05.:13:06.

you do and she can see that support for independence has not gone up

:13:07.:13:11.

since the EU referendum. She might conclude

:13:12.:13:13.

that you're bluffing. This is not some game of chicken

:13:14.:13:15.

or dare, this is about the best interests of the country I'm

:13:16.:13:21.

elected to represent. She is obviously the Prime Minister

:13:22.:13:23.

and has duties in that regard, but my advice to her would

:13:24.:13:26.

be, don't play games. This is about the best interests

:13:27.:13:29.

of Scotland and the UK. But you say if Scotland can't remain

:13:30.:13:35.

in the single market, you would explore the option

:13:36.:13:37.

of independence, but an independent Scotland may not be part

:13:38.:13:40.

of the single market with the rest I know that UK Government ministers

:13:41.:13:43.

don't accept that either, because I can hear and read

:13:44.:13:51.

what they're saying The Prime Minister, David Davis,

:13:52.:13:53.

they have both been in Ireland in recent weeks saying to Ireland,

:13:54.:14:03.

it's not a case of choosing between the EU and the single market

:14:04.:14:06.

on the one hand and links I think the direct quote was that

:14:07.:14:09.

you shouldn't have to choose What do you think the chances

:14:10.:14:13.

are that there will be another referendum on Scottish independence

:14:14.:14:18.

in the next couple of years? That's what I said the morning

:14:19.:14:20.

after the referendum. Nothing has happened

:14:21.:14:23.

to change my mind. In many respects, because of this

:14:24.:14:25.

intransigence and some of the high-handed arrogance

:14:26.:14:27.

of the comments we heard from the Tory party

:14:28.:14:29.

conference, it makes me think more that it's not in the interests

:14:30.:14:32.

of the UK to leave the single But I can make sure that Scotland

:14:33.:14:35.

is not forced down a path that it doesn't want to go down

:14:36.:14:42.

without at least having the opportunity to choose to do

:14:43.:14:44.

something different. Ms Sturgeon has deliberately not

:14:45.:14:46.

promised her supporters they will definitely

:14:47.:14:49.

get another referendum. They know it, and so does

services in England has been cut despite an NHS order that

:15:41.:15:44.

spending be increased. The research organisation

:15:45.:15:47.

The Kings Fund says 40% of mental health trusts had their budgets cut

:15:48.:15:50.

last year and that six trusts out of 58 have had their funding cut

:15:51.:15:57.

for three years in a row. One of those is the Norfolk

:15:58.:16:01.

and Suffolk Foundation Trust, who've admitted responsibility

:16:02.:16:04.

for the death of a Neil Jewel died three years ago -

:16:05.:16:07.

our Health Correspondent Sophie Hutchinson has been speaking

:16:08.:16:11.

to his family. I suppose he was his most happy and

:16:12.:16:23.

relaxed when he was up with the family. He just wanted to be part of

:16:24.:16:28.

the family, really. It's very sad to think that this awful illness that

:16:29.:16:32.

he had took that happiness away from him. Christine's brother Neil Jewel

:16:33.:16:36.

struggled with schizophrenia, but he died after what his family say was a

:16:37.:16:41.

catalogue of failings in the local mental health services, both in the

:16:42.:16:46.

community and in hospital. It is a complete nightmare, what happened to

:16:47.:16:49.

him. It should never have happened. Then you start getting angry. You

:16:50.:16:57.

think, these are people's lives. My brother was just left to cope on his

:16:58.:17:04.

own. The whole point of going through this pain is to make sure

:17:05.:17:11.

Neil's voice is heard through this and for people to understand that

:17:12.:17:16.

mental health issues don't just affect people like my brother.

:17:17.:17:19.

Anybody in society, no matter who you are, can suffer with it at

:17:20.:17:27.

various times in their life. Mental health workers failed to ensure Neil

:17:28.:17:32.

Jewell had enough medication. They failed to find him a safe hospital

:17:33.:17:37.

bed. He ended up being restrained by police, driven 75 miles while

:17:38.:17:41.

psychotic, before he had a heart attack and died. Cuts don't always

:17:42.:17:44.

coincide with poor treatment like that suffered by Neil Jewell, but

:17:45.:17:49.

the Norfolk and Suffolk mental health trust, which treated him, is

:17:50.:17:53.

one of a handful to have its budget is cut for three years in a row, and

:17:54.:17:58.

a leading research organisation says last year, 40% of mental health

:17:59.:18:02.

trusts in England had their budgets cut again. Cutting mental health

:18:03.:18:07.

services is just as risky as cutting our Acute Hospital services. We are

:18:08.:18:12.

talking about people in crisis, who need expert care in a timely way.

:18:13.:18:16.

Often, that is not being provided at the moment. That is bad for patients

:18:17.:18:21.

and their families. It is also a risk to communities when you have

:18:22.:18:24.

people who are severely ill who aren't able to access the right

:18:25.:18:29.

care. But last year for the first time, NHS commissioners in England

:18:30.:18:33.

were instructed to increase money for mental health. NHS England says

:18:34.:18:37.

overall spending did go up, so why did so many mental health trusts,

:18:38.:18:41.

who provide the bulk of the care, see their funding cut? There is a

:18:42.:18:47.

real pressure on acute trusts. That is the big hospitals. But there is

:18:48.:18:50.

real pressure on mental health. So commissioners are working hard to

:18:51.:18:55.

make sure that they deliver mental health care for their populations.

:18:56.:18:58.

There are tough choices to make, but we are committed to making sure that

:18:59.:19:02.

people with mental health are treated as well as anybody else in

:19:03.:19:06.

this population. Remember when we used to bring me over here for

:19:07.:19:12.

walks? The trust in charge of Neil Jewell's care in Norfolk and Suffolk

:19:13.:19:15.

has expressed its deepest sympathy to his family. Inspectors have said

:19:16.:19:19.

it should no longer be classified as a failing trust, despite ongoing

:19:20.:19:22.

concerns about high rates of deaths there. You can't mess about with

:19:23.:19:29.

people's lives, people that haven't got the ability to speak up for

:19:30.:19:34.

themselves. This is people's lives, and how quickly they can be snuffed

:19:35.:19:36.

out, just like that. Christine Welfare there, ending that

:19:37.:19:38.

report by Sophie Hutchinson. Private Sean Benton was just 20

:19:39.:19:40.

when he died from gunshot wounds to his chest

history. This was a battle for the very

you can relax. A beautiful picture here. A lot of clout, but at least

it was dry. In Jersey, that corpuscular rain -- crepuscular rain

is coming through. Look at this, Martin's way in from the west. We

night for most of us. Still that gale force is twinned for some of

us. In between, a bit of Mitterand. What a miserable start to our day it

:27:25.:27:29.

looks for Scotland tomorrow. As for the weekend, we will all see some

:27:30.:27:36.

rain. It is not going to be a wash-out, but we are losing that

:27:37.:27:39.

easterly wind, so it will not feel as cold, although it will for

:27:40.:27:46.

Scotland. That is the exception. Driving rain along the East. Some

:27:47.:27:59.

sunshine will return after the early rain further east. It will feel

:28:00.:28:05.

pleasant after we use the east wind, but not for Scotland. They have that

:28:06.:28:10.

bracing easterly wind and some intense downpours coming later to

:28:11.:28:19.

the south, with hail and thunder. Saturday is not looking too bad.

:28:20.:28:22.

Sunday is looking a bit more showery in the South, but in the north,

:28:23.:28:28.

Scotland looks a bit more promising after a wet and windy day tomorrow.
