:00:19. > :00:19.the security forces deliberately delayed arriving,

:00:20. > :00:29.It's particularly heartbreaking to think that if the police had been

:00:30. > :00:32.called, if the National Guard had got there sooner, then lives

:00:33. > :00:37.could have, or probably would have, been saved.

:00:38. > :00:41.The families of the victims say they will sue the tour operator TUI

:00:42. > :00:45.for not warning them of the danger of Islamist extremism.

:00:46. > :00:48.If the tour operators TUI Thomson had played their part,

:00:49. > :00:51.and actually said there is a risk here, and directed them

:00:52. > :00:56.to that, I firmly believe they'd never have gone.

:02:03. > :02:05.The coroner at the inquest into the deaths of 30 British

:02:06. > :02:08.tourists who were killed in a gun attack on a beach in Tunisia has

:02:09. > :02:10.described the local police and military response as "at best

:02:11. > :02:20.He said their delay in arriving at the scene was deliberate,

:02:21. > :02:22.and singled out one officer who fainted with fear, and another

:02:23. > :02:26.who removed his shirt to hide the fact that he was an officer.

:02:27. > :02:29.He ruled the victims of the terror attack at the resort in Sousse

:02:30. > :02:31.in 2015 had been unlawfully killed, but stopped short of finding

:02:32. > :02:35.there had been neglect on the part of the tour operator TUI.

:02:36. > :02:38.Families of some of the victims are now preparing to sue TUI themselves.

:02:39. > :02:48.These are the bereaved, for more than a month they've

:02:49. > :02:50.listened to chilling details of multiple murder,

:02:51. > :02:53.many of them witnessed their loved ones being killed.

:02:54. > :02:58.The end of this part of the legal process was an important moment.

:02:59. > :03:01.The inquests were about those who tragically lost their lives,

:03:02. > :03:04.they must never be forgotten and their families hope that no-one

:03:05. > :03:09.else will ever have to suffer the same fate in future.

:03:10. > :03:12.The coroner ruled the 30 British tourists who died that day had

:03:13. > :03:26.The inquest has established the facts of what happened

:03:27. > :03:28.at the resort, the chaos and confusion, the

:03:29. > :03:32.Holidaymakers fled in panic across the sand, literally

:03:33. > :03:36.The court was told that for 16 minutes the gunman

:03:37. > :03:40.One of the marine guard fainted in shock.

:03:41. > :03:49.The coroner today described the the emergency response as,

:03:50. > :03:52."at it's best, shambolic. At its course, cowardly."

:03:53. > :03:55.This animation showed where each person died.

:03:56. > :03:58.In just about every main area of the hotel somebody was killed.

:03:59. > :04:04.The families believe the travel company, TUI, was neglectful,

:04:05. > :04:09.but the coroner rejected this saying there were too many what ifs and no

:04:10. > :04:15.single thing that could have prevented the attack.

:04:16. > :04:24.Judge Nicholas Lorraine Smith told the families.

:04:25. > :04:26.Angie and Ray Fisher were two of the victims,

:04:27. > :04:29.killed alongside each other on the beach.

:04:30. > :04:39.Their families still maintain they were failed by TUI.

:04:40. > :04:42.If they'd have known the reality and if

:04:43. > :04:45.the tour operater, TUI Thompson had played their part and actually said,

:04:46. > :04:48.look, there is a risk here and directed them to that, I firmly

:04:49. > :04:55.The tour company has always denied it was to blame.

:04:56. > :05:00.As an industry, we have adapted and we will need to

:05:01. > :05:04.This terrorist incident left its mark on all of us

:05:05. > :05:08.and its impact will always be remembered.

:05:09. > :05:10.Many of the families though will now pursue a civil

:05:11. > :05:16.The coroner will look at whether he can make any

:05:17. > :05:21.recommendations to help prevent such a massacre ever happening again.

:05:22. > :05:25.As the inquest closed, the coroner told

:05:26. > :05:28.the families that they had shown a quiet dignity of which their loved

:05:29. > :05:35.Daniela Relph, BBC News, at the Royal Courts of Justice.

:05:36. > :05:37.Attending the inquest has been a harrowing

:05:38. > :05:43.Those who were in Tunisia have had to relive the attack.

:05:44. > :05:46.Those who weren't heard eyewitness accounts of the last moments

:05:47. > :05:51.Suzanne Evans lost her son, brother and father.

:05:52. > :05:54.Cheryl Stollery's husband was killed in the hotel car park.

:05:55. > :05:56.They've been speaking to our correspondent Sarah Campbell.

:05:57. > :06:04.And I say, well, I'm still a mum and I'm thankful for that,

:06:05. > :06:11.The day after this photograph was taken, Suzanne's father Pat,

:06:12. > :06:15.eldest son Joel and her brother Adrian were killed.

:06:16. > :06:18.Only Owen, on the left of the picture, survived.

:06:19. > :06:23.He was 16 years old at the time, his grandfather died in his arms.

:06:24. > :06:25.The coroner mentioned your youngest son Owen,

:06:26. > :06:40.I often say if Owen can get up and go to school and do

:06:41. > :06:42.the things that he's doing, then I haven't got any

:06:43. > :06:52.Cheryl Stollery not only has the loss of her husband John to cope

:06:53. > :06:57.John was shot as both ran from the gunman.

:06:58. > :07:00.My thought at the time was, I'm going to die.

:07:01. > :07:06.We were trying to seek refuge, we didn't know where to go,

:07:07. > :07:17.It's particularly heartbreaking to think that if the police had been

:07:18. > :07:21.called, if the National Guard had got there sooner, then lives

:07:22. > :07:26.could have, or probably would have, been saved.

:07:27. > :07:37.Can anything positive come out of what happened on June 26th 2015?

:07:38. > :07:42.We can never bring the people, those 30 people back.

:07:43. > :07:46.What we have to do is learn to live with that, to try and move on.

:07:47. > :07:49.There's always going to be people out there who want

:07:50. > :07:53.to impose their will, their beliefs on others.

:07:54. > :07:59.We need to get better at protecting, and looking at ways

:08:00. > :08:04.in which to safeguard, and we can only do that

:08:05. > :08:09.if all the people involved start communicating and working far more

:08:10. > :08:16.Cheryl Stollery ending that report by Sarah Campbell.

:08:17. > :08:18.The authorities in Tunisia insist the country, including

:08:19. > :08:21.the resort at Sousse, is now "100% safe".

:08:22. > :08:24.New security measures are in place, but the Foreign Office is still

:08:25. > :08:26.advising against all non-essential travel to Tunisia, and British

:08:27. > :08:39.visitor numbers have dropped by more than 90%.

:08:40. > :08:46.A new vigilance that was utterly lacking on the day of the attack.

:08:47. > :08:49.Now, permanent checkpoints and patrols by the police

:08:50. > :08:59.The message is clear, you are safe, it's a new Tunisia.

:09:00. > :09:02.Ministers are looking to brighter days, after tourism was gravely

:09:03. > :09:11.And we think that tourism will be coming back

:09:12. > :09:21.We have good indications for summer 2017, and we'd be very happy to see

:09:22. > :09:25.again the British coming back to Tunisia.

:09:26. > :09:28.Do you think it's 100% safe, can you say that?

:09:29. > :09:38.Metal detectors are now standard when you enter hotels,

:09:39. > :09:45.He co-owns the now-closed hotel where the British holiday-makers

:09:46. > :09:53.He admits security in Tunisia should have been tightened that March,

:09:54. > :09:57.after an attack on tourists in the Bardo Museum.

:09:58. > :10:01.It should have been stricter and stronger after the Bardo attack.

:10:02. > :10:04.To be honest with you, it should have been.

:10:05. > :10:09.But there is a before 26th June 2015, and there is an after.

:10:10. > :10:13.This is not the same country any more.

:10:14. > :10:18.This was the picture when terror came to the beach.

:10:19. > :10:24.Locals say the lone gunman was on the loose for 40 minutes.

:10:25. > :10:28.Today at the inquest in London, condemnation of the glaring absence

:10:29. > :10:36.When tourists were being slaughtered here on the sands, police

:10:37. > :10:38.could and should have made an effective response

:10:39. > :10:44.He said police could have arrived here in minutes with everything

:10:45. > :10:52.Instead, they deliberately delayed their arrival.

:10:53. > :10:55.The first officer on the scene stayed outside the main gate,

:10:56. > :11:04.This man knows only too well that the police

:11:05. > :11:09.When the shooting started, he was on the beach

:11:10. > :11:19.Here he is chasing the killer, armed only with two ashtrays,

:11:20. > :11:29.TRANSLATION: No one came, apart from the two guards who did nothing.

:11:30. > :11:31.Then, when we ran along the beach over there,

:11:32. > :11:35.there were three National Guard boats in the sea.

:11:36. > :11:43.They didn't come until afterwards, when he was killed.

:11:44. > :11:47.At the Riu Imperial Hotel where the gunman claimed so many lives,

:11:48. > :11:51.they are getting ready to reopen in May, hoping tourists will return

:11:52. > :11:59.Sunbathers now have company on the beach, protection that came

:12:00. > :12:07.too late for 30 Britons, robbed of life on this shore.

:12:08. > :12:10.The billionaire businessman Sir Philip Green has paid

:12:11. > :12:17.?363 million into the pension fund of British Home Stores.

:12:18. > :12:19.BHS went in to administration after Sir Philip sold

:12:20. > :12:23.He's been sharply criticised for having made profits

:12:24. > :12:25.and dividends of more than half-a-billion pounds,

:12:26. > :12:35.while leaving the BHS pension fund with a huge deficit.

:12:36. > :12:39.Our Business Editor Simon Jack has more details.

:12:40. > :12:48.Summer Sir Philip green made BHS pension is a promise. We will sort

:12:49. > :12:54.it, we will find a solution. I want to give an assurance that I'm there

:12:55. > :12:59.to sort this. What he was promising to sort was leaving thousands of

:13:00. > :13:04.pensioners short-changed after BHS collapsed, having been sold by Sir

:13:05. > :13:10.Philip to aid retailing novice who just ?1. He has agreed to pay ?363

:13:11. > :13:17.million of his own money to plug a hole in the pension fund, estimated

:13:18. > :13:21.on some measures to be ?571 million deep. This settlement isn't enough

:13:22. > :13:24.to give 19,000 pensioners their full entitlement, but it's better than

:13:25. > :13:30.they would have got in the industry rescue fund. The ordinary members of

:13:31. > :13:34.the pension scheme do OK out of this. It's an OK deal for them. They

:13:35. > :13:39.are slightly better off than they would be by staying in the pension

:13:40. > :13:45.protection fund but it's at the margin. That dark stain is all that

:13:46. > :13:50.is left of BHS's flagship store on Oxford Street. The debate about the

:13:51. > :13:54.pensions mess left behind, the corporate culture that allow that to

:13:55. > :13:58.happen, and Sir Philip Green's behaviour has raged on. You'll be

:13:59. > :14:00.hoping this put that behind him, others will see today as a

:14:01. > :14:07.significant precedent for the future. Great value, good quality...

:14:08. > :14:11.Sir Philip Green was vilified by the public and politicians who saw him

:14:12. > :14:16.as a mascot for corporate greed. Today his critic in chief issued

:14:17. > :14:21.this grudging acknowledgement. It's an important milestone in getting

:14:22. > :14:25.justice for pensioners and workers at BHS. The pensioners got a better

:14:26. > :14:30.deal than they would have done. They haven't got everything, there's a

:14:31. > :14:37.long way to go and an enquiry before Sir Philip Green and the BHS book is

:14:38. > :14:41.closed. And worked at BHS 442 years. This deal will improve her pension

:14:42. > :14:47.but she thinks it could have been sorted out sooner -- the 42 years.

:14:48. > :14:52.It's disgusting, he should have done it straightaway. No questions asked,

:14:53. > :14:56.I've been found out, old sort it. This settlement was voluntary but he

:14:57. > :15:03.was being pursued vigorously by regulators who will now stand down.

:15:04. > :15:07.363 million is just over 10% of his net worth, a price perhaps worth

:15:08. > :15:11.paying for his reputation and knighthood. Whether he can keep

:15:12. > :15:14.either is still not sorted, in his words.

:15:15. > :15:20.A coroner has described the response of the Tunisian police to the Sousse

:15:21. > :15:23.beach attack in which 30 Britons died as "shambolic."

:15:24. > :15:31.Why millions of British eggs can no longer be sold as free-range.

:15:32. > :15:34.Coming up in Sportsday on BBC News: Tom Curran has been called

:15:35. > :15:36.into the England squad for the One Day series

:15:37. > :15:50.It's the Surrey fast bowler's first senior call up.

:15:51. > :15:52.Paedophiles who view images of indecent abuse,

:15:53. > :15:55.but are thought to pose no direct physical threat to children

:15:56. > :15:58.should not be prosecuted, according to Britain's most senior

:15:59. > :16:05.Simon Bailey says the policing system has reached "saturation

:16:06. > :16:08.point" and that so called 'lower level' offenders should be

:16:09. > :16:13.He said he recognised the suggestion would horrify many.

:16:14. > :16:19.Our home editor, Mark Easton, has more.

:16:20. > :16:27.Saying the unsayable, the Chief Constable who believes

:16:28. > :16:30.paedophiles, who view images of child sexual abuse, should not

:16:31. > :16:35.Simon Bailey argues, with resources stretched,

:16:36. > :16:41.a very low-risk of physically abusing children might simply

:16:42. > :16:43.be arrested, monitored and rehabilitated, rather than take

:16:44. > :16:46.We are arresting 400 men every month for viewing indecent

:16:47. > :16:49.We are safeguarding 500 children every single month,

:16:50. > :16:56.but we are dealing with the tip of the iceberg.

:16:57. > :16:58.The public will say it's not robust enough.

:16:59. > :17:01.If this is the tip of the iceberg, let's get the iceberg?

:17:02. > :17:04.Right, but I can't - I don't have the resources to get

:17:05. > :17:10.What I'm advocating is a proposal that still manages the risk,

:17:11. > :17:13.Police chiefs fear new and historical child abuse cases

:17:14. > :17:20.70,000 investigations in a single year and

:17:21. > :17:24.cost of ?1 billion and even then just touching the surface

:17:25. > :17:26.with analysis suggesting half a million people in England

:17:27. > :17:32.and Wales have illegally viewed images of child sexual abuse.

:17:33. > :17:35.How can you be sure that somebody who is at home looking at vile

:17:36. > :17:38.pictures of child abuse is not the next day going to go

:17:39. > :17:42.Well then arrest them, deal with them?

:17:43. > :17:45.As I've demonstrated, 400 every month is more

:17:46. > :17:48.than any other law enforcement agency is doing, I believe,

:17:49. > :17:53.I have to balance our resources against the whole of the risk.

:17:54. > :17:58.Police in Sussex already visit some individuals found to be viewing

:17:59. > :18:00.online images of child abuse and warn them they face criminal

:18:01. > :18:05.But some survivors believe it's outrageous to even suggest such

:18:06. > :18:15.I think it was an incredibly unhelpful, I would go as far

:18:16. > :18:18.as to say almost dangerous thing to say, that people who abuse

:18:19. > :18:21.children or who view images and thus pay others to abuse

:18:22. > :18:31.The Home Office has distanced himself from his remarks saying that

:18:32. > :18:35.ministers are clear strong sanctions remain the response when terrible

:18:36. > :18:39.crime like viewing images of child sexual abuse online are committed.

:18:40. > :18:42.Britain is beginning to realise just how huge a problem the sexual abuse

:18:43. > :18:48.of children has been and continues to be. Now even those charged

:18:49. > :18:57.charged with protecting children admit we cannot simply arrest our

:18:58. > :19:00.way to a solution. Mark Easton, BBC News.

:19:01. > :19:02.A man who murdered his ex-girlfriend and her partner outside

:19:03. > :19:05.the shop where they worked, has been jailed for life.

:19:06. > :19:07.Zoe Morgan, who was 21, and 33-year-old Lee Simmons

:19:08. > :19:09.were stabbed outside the Matalan store in Cardiff last September.

:19:10. > :19:11.For weeks beforehand, 21-year-old Andrew Saunders had

:19:17. > :19:24.Sian. In the days after the attack, hundreds of flowers and candles were

:19:25. > :19:27.left outside this Matalan store. The murders took place here in the

:19:28. > :19:32.street and touched the wider community of Cardiff. Now, the

:19:33. > :19:36.families of Zoe Morgan and Lee Simmons said they are disappointed

:19:37. > :19:41.that Andrew Saunders will be eligible for parole after 23 years.

:19:42. > :19:45.The court heard that he was given credit for his early guilty plea and

:19:46. > :19:48.that his age and emotional distress at the time of the killings were

:19:49. > :19:53.mitigating factors. Andrew Saunders arrived at court

:19:54. > :19:56.knowing he faced a life sentence. The 21-year-old had admitted

:19:57. > :19:59.the murders at an earlier hearing. The hotel receptionist had

:20:00. > :20:02.carefully planned a revenge attack when Zoe Morgan

:20:03. > :20:08.ended their two year relationship. 21-year-old Zoe was described

:20:09. > :20:11.by her family as a beautiful, bright young woman who brought joy

:20:55. > :20:57.supermarket where he bought knives and latex gloves,

:20:58. > :21:00.which he took home in a carrier bag. He was also searching the internet

:24:51. > :24:53.it up for 20 years. But last year they decided to have

:24:54. > :24:56.another go and struck gold, Buried treasure, discovered

:24:57. > :25:01.in the fields of Staffordshire. One bracelet and three necklaces,

:25:02. > :25:07.believed to be 2,500 years old. The items were probably worn

:25:08. > :25:11.by wealthy, powerful women, it's not clear though why

:25:12. > :25:14.they were buried. Possibly some of these are hoards

:25:15. > :25:20.or things that people wanted to come back and get later,

:25:21. > :25:24.but also it's possible these were actually offerings to the Gods

:25:25. > :25:27.that nobody was ever intending It was kind of like a normal

:25:28. > :25:33.Sunday morning for us. I felt,a litle bit off it myself,

:25:34. > :25:36.we were in two minds These two friends are

:25:37. > :25:39.responsible for the discovery. 20 years ago, they searched

:25:40. > :25:42.for treasure, but found nothing. Then, after taking up the hobby

:25:43. > :25:44.again, they struck gold. I knew what it was straightaway

:25:45. > :25:47.because, obviously, I'd seen them in pictures in books and magazines

:25:48. > :25:51.and and stuff. So I said, "Well, you know,

:25:52. > :25:54.where did you find that?" Because my legs were going, my heart

:25:55. > :25:57.was going and my head was racing. I said, well, we need,

:25:58. > :26:02.you know, to have a look at the area and then probably,

:26:03. > :26:04.you know, do some more sweeps of the area because I hear

:26:05. > :26:07.stories whereby, you know, where there's one, there

:26:08. > :26:09.could be some more buried. Well, it was just before Christmas

:26:10. > :26:12.when the two men were walking along here with their metal detectors

:26:13. > :26:15.and they found the treasure, A couple of days ago,

:26:16. > :26:19.they came back again and they found Today, the items were officially

:26:20. > :26:22.declared as treasure. The collection is expected to be

:26:23. > :26:24.worth hundreds of thousands of pounds and the men will split

:26:25. > :26:27.the proceeds with the landowner They haven't said exactly

:26:28. > :26:34.how much it would fetch or what's going to happen,

:26:35. > :26:37.you know, money wise. We just look at it

:26:38. > :26:41.as a bonus, really. That, you know, we've come out

:26:42. > :26:45.on a Sunday morning for four hours and we found something special

:26:46. > :26:47.and anything after that Sima Kotecha, BBC

:26:48. > :26:55.News, Staffordshire. Time for a look at the weather.

:26:56. > :27:07.Here's John Hammond. The sun is slowing setting on

:27:47. > :27:52.temperatures sixes and sevens, Northern Ireland not doing too

:28:26. > :28:29.night. The strong winds, rain and maybe snow. There could be

:28:30. > :28:32.disruption. Things will settle down through Thursday. The worst of the
