:02:00. > :02:09.Our Home Affairs Correspondent Daniel Sandford reports.
:02:10. > :02:16.from Bedfordshire Police, raiding the home of a suspected drug dealer
:02:17. > :02:19.this morning. On a day that inspectors graded the force as
:02:20. > :02:22.inadequate, the worst place in England and Wales, a grading the
:02:23. > :02:29.Chief Constable blames on chronic underfunding. This grading is not
:02:30. > :02:33.correct grading for Bedfordshire. If you are going to talk about
:02:34. > :02:38.inadequate, talk about inadequate resources and funding, which has
:02:39. > :02:43.been the case in this force for ten years now. Among the many failings,
:02:44. > :02:47.the inspectors found that anti-social behaviour, like this
:02:48. > :02:51.motorbike riding in a park in Dunstable, has soared, while Shannon
:02:52. > :02:57.McMahon told me she was assaulted on Boxing Day and has had an inadequate
:02:58. > :03:00.response. The police said they would send somebody out and nobody turned
:03:01. > :03:07.up until three days later, then the guy and an leave and I haven't heard
:03:08. > :03:12.back. While Bedfordshire Police was the only force branded adequate
:03:13. > :03:15.national inadequate, inspectors said they were raising a large and red
:03:16. > :03:19.flag that other forces, saying that they were arresting fewer people,
:03:20. > :03:26.shelving crimes without investigating properly and failing
:03:27. > :03:29.to track down suspects relentlessly. While two thirds of forces were
:03:30. > :03:34.rated as good or outstanding, inspectors found that in some places
:03:35. > :03:38.local policing is being eroded. There is a national crisis in a
:03:39. > :03:44.severe shortage of detectives and a lack of grip in tracking down
:03:45. > :03:49.suspects. With that erosion of local policing the greatest concern. Some
:03:50. > :03:53.forces are starting to take officers out of neighbourhood policing to
:03:54. > :03:58.focus on other areas, and we are saying that erosion of neighbourhood
:03:59. > :04:02.policing cannot be allowed. Despite the years of austerity, the policing
:04:03. > :04:08.minister insisted this wasn't about forces being under resourced. This
:04:09. > :04:12.is clearly about how forces used resources, how they are able to
:04:13. > :04:16.adapt, and we are seeing some of the really good police forces judged as
:04:17. > :04:21.good or outstanding. Some of their per capita funding is lower than
:04:22. > :04:25.those that are falling. Crime has been falling but police are
:04:26. > :04:28.grappling with issues like cybercrime and a wave of historic
:04:29. > :04:32.allegations of sexual offences. As other services like mental health
:04:33. > :04:37.have shrunk through austerity, the police have become the service of
:04:38. > :04:40.last resort. With money short, inspectors found some forces had
:04:41. > :04:43.been quicker to adapt to the new environment.
:04:44. > :04:45.With me is our Home Editor, Mark Easton.
:04:46. > :04:47.What's at the heart of the problem here?
:04:48. > :04:59.Theresa May once said the mission of the police was to cut crime, no more
:05:00. > :05:04.or less, and if that's true, they've done pretty well. Budgets have been
:05:05. > :05:08.cut around 20% by 2010 but since that time crime has fallen by a
:05:09. > :05:12.third. But we expect the police to do rather more than that. Of the
:05:13. > :05:15.priority and emergency calls they receive, less than a quarter are
:05:16. > :05:20.directly crime related. Police work has shifted from arresting villains,
:05:21. > :05:24.yes, they do that, but it is more about protecting victims. Other
:05:25. > :05:30.agencies have seen their budgets cut. Once, detectives might have
:05:31. > :05:34.turned up at the front door and arresting a husband who has hit his
:05:35. > :05:39.wife, but now they are also thinking about safeguarding issues for the
:05:40. > :05:43.woman and children. So domestic violence, cybercrime, fraud, child
:05:44. > :05:47.sexual abuse, complex crimes that have become much bigger priorities,
:05:48. > :05:51.and that is perhaps the real question you should ask, are the
:05:52. > :05:54.police getting it right when it comes to 21st century priorities?
:05:55. > :05:55.One of Donald Trump's closest advisors -
:05:56. > :05:57.the attorney-general, Jeff Sessions - has been accused
:05:58. > :06:00.of lying under oath to the Senate after he failed to disclose,

:06:23. > :06:28.hearings over his contacts with the Russians.
:06:29. > :06:31.And that's brought calls for Jeff Sessions to resign and the

:06:36. > :06:39.administration and Vladimir Putin's government.
:06:40. > :06:41.The fact that the Attorney-General, the top cop in our

:07:01. > :07:03.backing calls that he should probably withdraw or recuse himself
:07:04. > :07:06.from any investigation into those links.
:07:07. > :07:13.Based on what we've read, and the information
:07:14. > :07:15.is not complete, I think the Attorney-General should further
:07:16. > :07:18.clarify and I do think he's going to need to recuse
:07:19. > :07:21.What's emerged is that then Senator Sessions met the
:07:22. > :07:23.Russian Ambassador at the Republican convention in July.
:07:24. > :07:26.He met him again in September, but at his confirmation
:07:27. > :07:29.hearing this January, he denied any contact with the Russians.

:23:57. > :23:59.married the Greek tycoon Bonham's auctioneer,
:24:00. > :24:04.Matthew Haley, took us through the letters
:24:05. > :24:07.and the story behind them. What these letters show us
:24:08. > :24:10.is the incredibly touching love story between David Ormsby Gore
:24:11. > :24:15.and Jacqueline Kennedy and what comes through in these
:24:16. > :24:18.letters is just the touching relationship that they had, that
:24:19. > :24:22.very nearly blossomed into marriage. "Dearest David, you are like my

:25:32. > :25:33.to understand your explanation, and I suppose I do in a way,
:25:34. > :25:36.without agreeing with it. As for your photograph,
:25:37. > :25:40.I weep when I look at it." I think the letters
:25:41. > :25:42.are heartbreaking in a way. The most gut wrenching thing
:25:43. > :25:52.is she writes back to him, painfully on Aristotle Onassis'

:26:20. > :26:23.Wynne. It was a lovely day for many parts
:26:24. > :26:28.of the UK. This was a picture taken by a Weather Watcher in Hampton
:26:29. > :26:32.Court. It was like that for many but a few showers across the northern
:26:33. > :26:35.half of the UK the last few hours is more cloudy. There has been some
:26:36. > :26:38.rain in Northern Ireland. Not just rain, snow over the hills and we'll
:26:39. > :26:41.see that mixture in the southern uplands of northern Scotland.
:26:42. > :26:43.Northern Scotland where we see the lowest temperatures, a touch of
:26:44. > :26:49.frost developing. Not so further south because we have cloud and rain
:26:50. > :26:51.moving in. Not a great start of the day across southernmost counties,
:26:52. > :26:56.South Wales will be wet and windy. Some rain could be on the heavy
:26:57. > :27:01.side. Oven the roads, spray and surface water -- on the roads. Some
:27:02. > :27:04.rain gets up into East Anglia and East Midlands. Into North Wales and
:27:05. > :27:07.northern parts of England slightly dry. Fairly cloudy in the morning,
:27:08. > :27:10.but still some rain into Northern Ireland and to the south of Scotland
:27:11. > :27:14.but in northern Scotland after a chilly start we should see some
:27:15. > :27:17.sunshine. I think we'll keep the best of the sunshine in northern
:27:18. > :27:22.Scotland for much of the day. Elsewhere sunshine in short supply.
:27:23. > :27:25.A lot of cloud. The main area of rain drifting northwards. The
:27:26. > :27:29.south-east of England should dry up. . Keeping wet in the south-west in
:27:30. > :27:33.the afternoon and further rain for Northern Ireland and largely dry in
:27:34. > :27:36.southern Scotland by this stage. Into the weekend and keep the
:27:37. > :27:40.umbrellas handy, there will be rain at times but the heaviest rain will
:27:41. > :27:43.move its way around the country. Saturday, the heaviest rain looks
:27:44. > :27:47.like it'll be across Scotland and Northern Ireland. Outbreaks of rain
:27:48. > :27:51.for some parts of England and Wales but also some lengthy dry spells.
:27:52. > :27:55.Then we swap things around for the second part of the weekend with the
:27:56. > :27:59.wettest weather across Wales and the southern half the England. Further
:28:00. > :28:02.north, much drier, rain at times. Top temperatures, seven in Glasgow,
:28:03. > :28:08.ten or so in London. Thank you very much.
