:02:25. > :02:34.Yes, the Ronneys were flashy with their money. They went on holiday to
:02:35. > :02:40.Barbados, they had cosmetic surgery, they shelled out thousands of
:02:41. > :02:46.pounds. But by terrible contrast, by very stark contrast, the people they
:02:47. > :02:51.controlled were kept in poverty. For many, many years, forced to live in
:02:52. > :02:55.squalid conditions. The police tell us tonight that one of their victims
:02:56. > :02:58.was held captive for, they believe, around a quarter of a century. His
:02:59. > :03:08.family had given him up for dead. Fathers, sons, cousins across the
:03:09. > :03:12.generations, a leading members of one family, whose cruelty has banned
:03:13. > :03:17.the decades. The Ronneys were the masters, this is where they kept
:03:18. > :03:23.their slaves. They were forced to live in these caravans in squalor
:03:24. > :03:27.and in filth, conditions not fit for human habitation. Whilst those who
:03:28. > :03:33.controlled them lived in comfort and luxury. The Rooneys had many
:03:34. > :03:37.victims, including this man, whose interview has been re-voiced to
:03:38. > :03:41.predict his identity. I have been on and off the streets for years, drugs
:03:42. > :03:47.and alcohol. I haven't seemed to be able to get settled. See, they have
:03:48. > :03:51.scarred me. Sometimes I have flashbacks, and you know what I
:03:52. > :03:58.mean, nightmares and that. I'm always wary about them. Patrick

:04:14. > :04:17.vulnerable men into labour. One man is the bit how the workmen appeared.
:04:18. > :04:22.They weren't treated as civilised at all. They were treated as if they
:04:23. > :04:26.were subhuman. I was truly astonished. There was no machine to
:04:27. > :04:32.strip the old tarmac off, nothing. These guys did it all by hand. And
:04:33. > :04:36.it was extremely hard work for them, I will give them that. They didn't
:04:37. > :04:42.stop. They didn't have any breaks, anything. All they got was we made
:04:43. > :04:46.them a few cups of tea, if you drop it biscuits. They were delighted to
:04:47. > :04:51.get a cup of tea, because I knew and they knew they weren't going to get
:04:52. > :04:56.anything else. Not for the day. In contrast, the family lived lavishly.

:05:09. > :05:14.out of them, and the stories I was hearing about big wodges of cash.
:05:15. > :05:18.Bringing the 11th family members to book has taken several years. The
:05:19. > :05:24.police needed to win the trust of victims who were very vulnerable.
:05:25. > :05:28.They were dirty. They were thin. The clothes they were wearing were
:05:29. > :05:31.terrible. We took them to the reception centre, one victim had to
:05:32. > :05:36.use an entire bottle of shampoo to make himself feel clean. To how they
:05:37. > :05:40.are now, in employment, going to college, they are reunited with
:05:41. > :05:44.their families. It is absolutely heart-warming and amazing to see the
:05:45. > :05:47.transformation. It makes it all worthwhile. They preyed on the

:20:53. > :21:03.here was out of character. This was, nonetheless,
:21:04. > :21:07.an exceptionally serious crime. Logan, wearing a mask,
:21:08. > :21:10.had entered the room at the family home where his brother
:21:11. > :21:13.and his girlfriend were sleeping. He poured petrol over their bed
:21:14. > :21:15.and then set fire to Cameron. 12 days later, the 27-year-old
:21:16. > :21:20.admitted his crimes. Rebecca Williams was in court
:21:21. > :21:24.for the sentencing. In a statement afterwards,
:21:25. > :21:27.she said Cameron had been her best friend and partner
:21:28. > :21:30.and that their future together had She said she wished,
:21:31. > :21:35.more than anything, Rebecca, seen here to the right
:21:36. > :21:41.of her father, suffered severe The horror of what happened in that
:21:42. > :21:51.room will haunt me for ever. It was a calculated
:21:52. > :21:53.and intentional attack. Cameron died in the most cruel way,
:21:54. > :22:00.in front of my eyes. The actions of one evil
:22:01. > :22:05.individual cannot be undone. The length of the sentence imposed
:22:06. > :22:08.today was never going to be enough for such a barbaric
:22:09. > :22:15.and ruthless murder. In sentencing him, Judge Lady Scott
:22:16. > :22:18.said whilst she accepted Logan had a limited ability to appreciate
:22:19. > :22:21.the consequences of his actions, he had acted with wicked
:22:22. > :22:26.recklessness and was fully, criminally responsible
:22:27. > :22:29.for what he had done. The judge added, she could not
:22:30. > :22:31.imagine the pain his parents would endure, having lost,
:22:32. > :22:33.in effect, both of their sons. Lorna Gordon, BBC News
:22:34. > :22:40.at the High Court in Edinburgh. It doesn't seem that long ago
:22:41. > :22:44.when the season ended, but tonight the English Premier League kicks off
:22:45. > :22:47.again, and for the first Arsenal take on Leicester City,
:22:48. > :22:51.in this, the 25th year of the EPL. Our Sports Correspondent Andy Swiss
:22:52. > :23:05.is at the Emirates Yes, it is an unusual start before
:23:06. > :23:11.the Premier League season. The first time it has kicked off on a Friday
:23:12. > :23:18.night. Why? It is good for TV audiences and Arsenal against
:23:19. > :23:23.Leicester is an intriguing opening match. Arsenal, looking to bounce
:23:24. > :23:25.back from their worst Premier League season for 20 years, whilst
:23:26. > :23:29.Leicester suffered something of a hangover last season after the
:23:30. > :23:33.incredible Premier League triumph. It is a chance for the fans to see
:23:34. > :23:38.some new players at the Premier League clubs have been splashing the
:23:39. > :23:42.cash. They have spent more than ?1 billion this summer and Arsenal fans
:23:43. > :23:47.will be interested to see their new ?50 million striker, Alexandra
:23:48. > :23:53.lacquers. As for the question as to who will win the title, Chelsea are
:23:54. > :23:57.the champions and Manchester City are the favourites. But as Leicester
:23:58. > :24:01.fans will tell you, anything is possible. Indeed. Thank you.
:24:02. > :24:03.With just two full days left of the World Athletics Championships
:24:04. > :24:06.in London, there have been sell out crowds, but little cheer
:24:07. > :24:10.Only one gold medal so far, thanks to Sir Mo Farah.
:24:11. > :24:12.As Natalie Pirks reports, UK Sport's target of between six
:24:13. > :24:22.to eight medals overrall, looks increasingly unlikely.
:24:23. > :24:29.We had hoped for more of this... Instead, the enduring images of
:24:30. > :24:34.these championships from a British perspective have been of tears and
:24:35. > :24:38.heartbreak. They are measured in measured Billy McClure medals and Mo
:24:39. > :24:42.Farah might be the only gold medallist, double gold medallist
:24:43. > :24:47.Bertie is leaving and going to the road. Five years on from London when
:24:48. > :24:51.you think about legacy, it is in great. Before these championships
:24:52. > :24:55.began, the British performance director told me they would need a
:24:56. > :25:00.lot of luck or they could be kicked in the backside. In a game of fine
:25:01. > :25:09.margins, this isn't a team short of flair, it is short on fortune. Last
:25:10. > :25:12.night, Nathaniel Mitchell Blake was the latest Briton to come forth in
:25:13. > :25:18.his event, making up the quartet of the oh so close. Just inches
:25:19. > :25:24.separated the likes of Kyle Langford and Laura Muir from a podium spot.
:25:25. > :25:29.Nevertheless, it now means UK sport's target of six medals looks a
:25:30. > :25:34.distant dream, especially with Greg Rutherford injured. It is difficult
:25:35. > :25:40.to win medals in athletics. It is a fact of life. Other sports, with
:25:41. > :25:42.Olympic sports who win a lot of gold medals, it doesn't take anything
:25:43. > :25:47.away from their achievements, but not as many people or countries
:25:48. > :25:51.participate. This is the hardest sport in the world to win a major
:25:52. > :25:59.title. Athletics received the highest amount of funding. But they
:26:00. > :26:04.think it is money well spent for the future. They are in transition, the
:26:05. > :26:09.older group have gone and the younger ones are coming up. The
:26:10. > :26:14.World Championships of the World Championships but overall I think we
:26:15. > :26:20.have put on a good show. I think it is good experience but in a few
:26:21. > :26:23.years, the gold medals. Coming. The British athletes are trying their
:26:24. > :26:28.best, but at the moment, their best isn't good enough.
:26:29. > :26:35.Mo Farah has been responsible for six medals and the 5,000m tomorrow
:26:36. > :26:39.night represents his last chance of carrying British hopes on the track
:26:40. > :26:43.at a major championships. But there are around three medal hopes up for
:26:44. > :26:46.grabs with Dina Asher-Smith, the bash out in the women's 200 metres.
:26:47. > :27:03.Clive. Natalie, thank you. Not getting bad, but it is cloudy
:27:04. > :27:08.today. Lovely picture, but look at those guys, many of us have had the
:27:09. > :27:14.source of weather today but this next picture, huge contrast. I love
:27:15. > :27:19.the two colours between the first and second. Beautiful blues here
:27:20. > :27:24.this is in Nottingham. This is what we have got at the moment across the
:27:25. > :27:28.country, a lot of cloud across the UK. Clouded over in the south-east
:27:29. > :27:33.where the first part of the day was nice. A lot of sunshine around. But
:27:34. > :27:38.for most this evening and overnight it will be cloudy. Rain from time to
:27:39. > :27:44.time, not too heavy. There will be breaks in the cloud so if you are
:27:45. > :27:48.hoping to catch the shooting stars this weekend, you might get a chance
:27:49. > :27:54.tonight. But the better will be tomorrow. The weather is improving.
:27:55. > :27:57.The morning might start of cloudy in the south and the south-east because
:27:58. > :28:02.we are close to a weather front which is just exiting. In the
:28:03. > :28:06.afternoon, it will be a mixture of sunny spells, lengthy sunny spells
:28:07. > :28:10.and a few scattered showers. On balance, I think we have a fine day
:28:11. > :28:15.on the way, but don't be surprised if you do catch a brief, light
:28:16. > :28:21.sprinkle of rain. Tomorrow evening is looking better. A great
:28:22. > :28:26.opportunity to get out there and enjoy the views of those shooting
:28:27. > :28:31.stars. Sunday, the better day, we will have more sunshine right from
:28:32. > :28:35.the word go. There will be fewer showers, pleasant temperatures and a
:28:36. > :28:39.bit of rain heading our way. It will be approaching early on Monday so it
:28:40. > :28:42.will be an unsettled day on Monday, Tuesday a bit better but the good
:28:43. > :28:47.thing is, the weekend is looking decent.
