0:00:05 > 0:00:09A man who committed more than 200 terrorist offences -
0:00:09 > 0:00:14including five murders - is spared decades behind bars.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17Instead Gary Haggarty - a former Loyalist paramilitary commander -
0:00:17 > 0:00:20is sentenced to six and a half years after offering to testify
0:00:20 > 0:00:22against former associates.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24What is justice in this country?
0:00:24 > 0:00:28It's just designed to look after the criminal.

0:00:34 > 0:00:37Also on the programme tonight:

0:00:41 > 0:00:45to the EU rule book until the end of 2020 - but will have
0:00:45 > 0:00:48no voting rights.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51A million and a half people receiving a key disability benefit
0:00:51 > 0:00:53will have their payments reviewed - following a discrimination ruling
0:00:53 > 0:00:54against the Government.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57They'd been on their way to a party - the teenagers killed
0:00:57 > 0:01:00when they were hit by a car in London on Friday.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01A man's been remanded in custody.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04The new England women's football coach Phil Neville insists he's not
0:01:04 > 0:01:07sexist and says he is the right man for the job.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20the press for the first time since taking up the biggest job
0:01:20 > 0:01:28in England women's football - insisting he's not sexist.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50A man who carried out more than 200 terrorist crimes including
0:01:50 > 0:01:53five murders in the 1990s, has been spared decades
0:01:53 > 0:01:56in jail after he offered to testify in court
0:01:56 > 0:01:58against his former associates.
0:01:58 > 0:02:0145-year-old Gary Haggarty was a former commander
0:02:01 > 0:02:04in the Loyalist paramilitary group, the UVF.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Today a judge sentenced him to 6.5 years in prison.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11His sentence was significantly reduced because of the help he gave
0:02:11 > 0:02:13to police and prosecutors.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16The son of one of Haggarty's victims called him a serial killer who'd
0:02:16 > 0:02:22been allowed to murder at will.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Our Ireland correspondent, Chris Page, was in court.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Eamon Fox and Gary Convie shot dead by UVF gunman...
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Sean McDermott was bundled into his car and his body
0:02:29 > 0:02:33was discovered early yesterday...
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Children ran crying from the house after the gunman shot
0:02:35 > 0:02:36their grandfather...
0:02:36 > 0:02:41Gary Haggarty left a legacy of brutality, fear and grief.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45For 16 years he was a leading member of the Ulster Volunteer Force.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48During the Troubles, the organisation murdered almost 400
0:02:48 > 0:02:54people, more than any other Loyalist paramilitary group.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57The control which UVF leaders had over their own communities meant
0:02:57 > 0:03:01it was difficult to prosecute any.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04But eight years ago, Haggarty offered to give evidence
0:03:04 > 0:03:06in court against his former associates,
0:03:06 > 0:03:10in exchange for a shorter sentence for his own crimes.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12He pleaded guilty to five murders and almost 200
0:03:12 > 0:03:17other terrorist offences.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20In court today, the judge said, under normal circumstances Haggarty
0:03:20 > 0:03:23would have gone to prison for 35 years, but he reduced the term
0:03:23 > 0:03:27to six and a half years.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29The UVF unit which Haggarty led here in north Belfast had
0:03:29 > 0:03:31a particularly savage reputation.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35But even as he was carrying out his sectarian murder campaign,
0:03:35 > 0:03:42the paramilitary commander was also working as a police informer.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45The families of those Haggarty killed feel the justice system
0:03:45 > 0:03:47has let them down terribly.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Justice.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50What is justice in this country?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52It is just designed to look after the criminal.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54It's...
0:03:54 > 0:03:59How can a man convicted of that many crimes be set free into society?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01He was a serial killer.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03He was a paid state informant.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07He was allowed to kill at will.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10The man who was described in court as an enthusiastic terrorist
0:04:10 > 0:04:13is the most senior Loyalist ever to turn supergrass.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16In more than 1000 interviews with detectives, Haggarty made
0:04:16 > 0:04:20allegations about 14 other UVF men and two police officers
0:04:20 > 0:04:22who he gave information to.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25But prosecutors have decided to use his evidence against just one
0:04:25 > 0:04:28paramilitary suspect.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31The next time Gary Haggarty is in court, he will be
0:04:31 > 0:04:39in the witness box instead of the dock.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45Well, in the court in Belfast today, the judge said Gary Haggarty had not
0:04:45 > 0:04:50had a road to Damascus conversion but decided to turn supergrass out
0:04:50 > 0:04:54of self-interest. When he's released from prison he will be given a new
0:04:54 > 0:04:59identity. This case has raised a complex and contentious question,
0:04:59 > 0:05:03how should the unsolved killings from the Troubles be investigated in
0:05:03 > 0:05:13a place where history still
0:05:13 > 0:05:16a place where history still hurts so Chris, thank you.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19March 2019 is when we are set to leave the European Union.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22But today the 27 remaining member states said that the United Kingdom
0:05:22 > 0:05:25must continue to obey the EU rule book for almost two more years
0:05:25 > 0:05:26during the transition period.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Brussels said Britain must stick to EU rules,
0:05:28 > 0:05:31even though it won't have any voting rights after next March.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34It also wants EU citizens to be able to continue to settle
0:05:34 > 0:05:37in the UK as they can now, and that would be the case
0:05:37 > 0:05:39until the 31st December 2020 when the transition period ends.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42A spokesman for the Prime Minister said that while there was "broad
0:05:42 > 0:05:44agreement" there were differences on "specific details".
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Here's our Europe Editor, Katya Adler.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53Brexit is back on the Brussels agenda. After a longish winter
0:05:53 > 0:05:59break. Today, ministers from the 27 EU countries came here to agree
0:05:59 > 0:06:04guidelines for the transition phase to follow media after Brexit. Aware
0:06:04 > 0:06:08of political volatility back in London. Do you worry about the
0:06:08 > 0:06:12fragility of the UK Government? Though clearly not keen to talk
0:06:12 > 0:06:16about it. The ministers are only giving themselves ten minutes in
0:06:16 > 0:06:22there to agree EU guidelines for transition negotiations. It is a
0:06:22 > 0:06:27very public display of EU unity, in stark contrast to what they know is
0:06:27 > 0:06:32going on in the UK. Still speaking today to a House of Lords committee,
0:06:32 > 0:06:36the Brexit secretary appeared relaxed about the transition period,
0:06:36 > 0:06:40at least.It is pretty clear. We want a high degree of stability, we
0:06:40 > 0:06:49want the right to do deals outside. Broadly, that is it, and
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Broadly, that is it, and ideally we want some control over our destiny
0:06:52 > 0:06:54in terms of any subsequent legislation. It is pretty simple
0:06:54 > 0:07:01really.But is it? Mr Davis was speaking in London at the same time
0:07:01 > 0:07:06as his counterpart took to the podium in Brussels. And he made it
0:07:06 > 0:07:10plain that the transition period were transferred the UK from rule
0:07:10 > 0:07:15maker to rule taker. During the transition period, if decisions are
0:07:15 > 0:07:21taken by the EU 27, which are not acceptable to the United Kingdom,
0:07:21 > 0:07:28what action can the UK Government take?TRANSLATION: The UK are as for
0:07:28 > 0:07:33this transition period giving it full access to the single market to
0:07:33 > 0:07:36provide stability to business. We are agreeing to that but to benefit
0:07:36 > 0:07:40from the single market, the UK has to accept our rules. Single market a
0:07:40 > 0:07:46la cart is not possible.Mr Barnier said the UK would have to respect
0:07:46 > 0:07:49rulings by the European Court of Justice and would not be allowed to
0:07:49 > 0:07:52enter into new trade deals with other countries. Here are some more
0:07:52 > 0:07:58possible flash points. Duration. The EU says the transition should last a
0:07:58 > 0:08:04total of 21 months. The UK may want more time. Freedom of movement:
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Brussels insists EU citizens have the right to move to the UK and
0:08:08 > 0:08:12apply for permanent residency throughout the transition period.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Observer status: the UK will have to pay into the EU budget during
0:08:16 > 0:08:21transition and observe all EU regulations, though it will no
0:08:21 > 0:08:24longer be a decision may cut. In all the fraught Brexit negotiations,
0:08:24 > 0:08:29this was supposed to be the easy part. After all, the UK requested a
0:08:29 > 0:08:34transition period from the EU. So the warning came hours if talks get
0:08:34 > 0:08:38too tricky over transition, that could eat into the precious time
0:08:38 > 0:08:44left under EU law to discuss EU future trade negotiations before the
0:08:44 > 0:08:50UK leads the block in March 2019. Once again during this Brexit
0:08:50 > 0:08:56process, Brussels says the ball is now in the UK's court.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Meanwhile in Westminster, there's been continuing questioning
0:08:57 > 0:09:00of Theresa May's leadership and her handling of Brexit.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02One Conservative MP today said the time for her to assert her
0:09:02 > 0:09:04authority was running out.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Others have called for the party to unite behind the Prime Minister.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg is in
0:09:09 > 0:09:14Westminster for us tonight.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20Just how much pressure is she under here?She is under a lot of
0:09:20 > 0:09:23pressure, no question about that. There has been a lot of grumpiness
0:09:23 > 0:09:28on the Tory backbenches and a lot of strong language flying around with
0:09:28 > 0:09:32people, former ministers, talking quite a billy about Theresa May's
0:09:32 > 0:09:36leadership. No one calling for her to go right now. But certainly, some
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Brexiteers putting the idea on the table that she will have to do
0:09:40 > 0:09:44things their way if they are to continue to back her. But transition
0:09:44 > 0:09:55is providing the latest flash point in the long-running saga over Tory
0:09:55 > 0:09:56divisions over Brexit. Yes, there are some differences between the
0:09:56 > 0:09:59EU's position and the UK Government's position over how they
0:09:59 > 0:10:03manage the two years when we leave the EU in March 2019, but it has
0:10:03 > 0:10:08again exposed the real divisions on the Tory benches over this. Some
0:10:08 > 0:10:14Tory backbenches and many voters may feel, if in the two years after
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Brexit day not very much changes, much of the status quo remains the
0:10:18 > 0:10:22same, and we have no say over the rules, what then really was the
0:10:22 > 0:10:27point of the referendum and choosing to leave? On the flip side, for Tory
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Remainers and others in government, that period is vital say business is
0:10:31 > 0:10:36not suddenly cut off from its biggest market overnight, so people
0:10:36 > 0:10:40have time to get used to the world outside the European Union. But
0:10:40 > 0:10:44these divisions are not going away. The divisions in the Tory party if
0:10:44 > 0:10:49anything are intensifying, and there is a real demand now for the Prime
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Minister to be clear about what she wants, not just over transition, but
0:10:53 > 0:10:58over the long-term deal as well. Thank you.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00The Afghan capital, Kabul, has suffered its third major
0:11:00 > 0:11:03jihadist attack in little over a week - with militants carrying out
0:11:03 > 0:11:05a raid on a military base.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06At least 11 soldiers were killed.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Afghan officials say two attackers blew themselves up,
0:11:08 > 0:11:11two were killed by the security services, and a fifth was arrested.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14The Islamic State group says it was behind the attack.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17A High Court judge has ruled that doctors can stop providing
0:11:17 > 0:11:19life-support treatment to an 11-month-old boy -
0:11:19 > 0:11:22against his parents' wishes.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Isaiah Haastrup - seen here with his aunt -
0:11:24 > 0:11:26suffered severe brain damage after being deprived
0:11:26 > 0:11:29of oxygen at birth.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Staff from King's College Hospital in London argued that giving him
0:11:32 > 0:11:39further treatment was "not in his best interests".
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Everyone who currently receives the main disability benefit
0:11:48 > 0:11:49are to have their claims reviewed.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52It comes after a court ruled that new changes to personal independence
0:11:52 > 0:11:54payments discriminated against people
0:11:54 > 0:11:56with mental health conditions.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59The overall bill could cost the government nearly £4 billion.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Our social affairs correspondent Michael Buchanan is here.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05We are talking about a lot of people, more than one and a half
0:12:05 > 0:12:11million?We are. This goes back to a decision taken last month, that
0:12:11 > 0:12:14people who could not travel independently because of
0:12:14 > 0:12:17psychological problems, for instance if they were too anxious to leave
0:12:17 > 0:12:21the house, they would be treated differently for the main disability
0:12:21 > 0:12:24benefit to people who could not travel independently for other
0:12:24 > 0:12:29reasons. That led to an outcry from mental health campaigners, and
0:12:29 > 0:12:32eventually led to a case going before the High Court. The High
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Court decided last December that the new rules blatantly discriminated
0:12:36 > 0:12:40against people with mental health conditions and were a breach of
0:12:40 > 0:12:44human rights. Lastly, the Department for Work and Pensions said we do not
0:12:44 > 0:12:47agree with all of this ruling but we will not appeal it. The consequences
0:12:47 > 0:12:55of that decision has now become apparent. Everyone on it now will
0:12:55 > 0:13:02have their reviewed by officials. -- everyone on PIP. We know it the end
0:13:02 > 0:13:06of the process at about 200,000 people will the extra money as a
0:13:06 > 0:13:11result of the review and that is expected to cost ministers somewhere
0:13:11 > 0:13:17in the region of £3.7 billion.Thank you.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20A man has been remanded in custody after appearing in court
0:13:20 > 0:13:22in connection with a car crash that killed three teenagers
0:13:22 > 0:13:23in West London.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27The boys - aged between 16 and 17 - were on their way to a birthday
0:13:27 > 0:13:30party when they were struck by a car in Hayes on Friday evening.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Our correspondent Frankie McCamley reports.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Jaynesh Chudasama arriving at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court
0:13:36 > 0:13:38this morning, spoke only to confirm his name,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41age and address, as some victims' family members,
0:13:41 > 0:13:45holding tissues, watched from the public gallery.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48The 28-year-old is charged with three counts of causing death
0:13:48 > 0:13:51by dangerous driving.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53It was on Friday evening when the group of teenagers
0:13:53 > 0:13:57were travelling to a 16th birthday party, but when they got to this bus
0:13:57 > 0:14:02stop, a black Audi travelling down this road hit three of them.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07Despite paramedics' best efforts, they died at the scene.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10All school friends, the young men have been named
0:14:10 > 0:14:12as 16-year-old Josh McGuinness, George Wilkinson, also 16
0:14:12 > 0:14:15and 17-year-old Harry Rice.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19At the crash site today, the tragic news was still sinking in.
0:14:19 > 0:14:25James played football with the boys from the age of seven.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27They were the funniest boys you could ever meet.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30They always had smiles on their faces, always happy.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Always causing mischief around the football club.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35They were quality boys.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39Christopher also knew one of the victims.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41It is horrible to think that it has happened,
0:14:41 > 0:14:45that people have caused this, that young lads, their lives cut
0:14:45 > 0:14:48short, just to think that families and friends have lost young people
0:14:48 > 0:14:51who had so much to live for, is just horrible.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54The academy that the three attended has released a statement expressing
0:14:54 > 0:14:57the shock and sadness felt by the loss of their students,
0:14:57 > 0:14:59thanking the community for the support in the days
0:14:59 > 0:15:02after the crash.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05And following an appeal from police to find a second suspect believed
0:15:05 > 0:15:08to be in the vehicle, a 34-year-old was arrested yesterday
0:15:08 > 0:15:11evening after handing himself in to a police station.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Jaynesh Chudasama has been remanded in custody and will appear before
0:15:14 > 0:15:17the Old Bailey next month.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Frankie McCamley, BBC News.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Our top story this evening:
0:15:23 > 0:15:25A former Loyalist paramilitary who committed more than 200
0:15:25 > 0:15:28terrorist offences - including five murders -
0:15:28 > 0:15:30has been jailed for six and a half years.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31And still to come...
0:15:31 > 0:15:33The Banksy mural defaced by vandals
0:15:33 > 0:15:41- but saved by a quick thinking window cleaner in Hull.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Coming up on Sportsday on BBC News: A new club record
0:15:43 > 0:15:45for Manchester City, as Pep Guardiola's side pays
0:15:45 > 0:15:47the £57 million buyout clause for Athletic Bilbao defender
0:15:47 > 0:15:55Aymeric LaPorte.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01He didn't have the best start to his new job
0:16:01 > 0:16:03as manager of the England women's football team.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Last week Phil Neville - within hours of starting his job -
0:16:06 > 0:16:09found himself apologising for sexist tweets he'd posted six years ago.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Today he faced the media and insisted he was
0:16:11 > 0:16:12the right man for the job.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17Our sports editor Dan Roan has been speaking to him.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20All smiles for the cameras from Phil Neville, but his
0:16:20 > 0:16:23appointment as England women's manager has not gone to plan.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27Having apologised last week for sexist tweets
0:16:27 > 0:16:29from his past, today he spoke publicly about
0:16:29 > 0:16:31the controversy for the first time, telling me of his regret.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33I apologise for those words and the problems
0:16:33 > 0:16:35it has caused the FA.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39But what I would say is that it is not a
0:16:39 > 0:16:41reflection of my true character, the type of person that I am.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43More importantly, the way I have been
0:16:43 > 0:16:45brought up by my parents.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47And now I hope to draw a line under it.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49You said, "Relax, I'm back, chilled, just battered the wife.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51"Feel better now."
0:16:51 > 0:16:52Can you explain that?
0:16:52 > 0:16:53In isolation, they look terrible.
0:16:53 > 0:16:59But it was relating to a game of sport, table tennis,
0:16:59 > 0:17:01basketball, on holiday with my wife.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03I am a competitive person, so is my wife.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06But in isolation, those words were wrong, and that is the reason
0:17:06 > 0:17:07I apologise, because it is not...
0:17:07 > 0:17:10It as inappropriate as an England manager.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Are you a sexist?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13No. No, I'm not a sexist.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15I think if you speak to people, and there are many
0:17:15 > 0:17:18people who have spoken up on my behalf over the last week,
0:17:18 > 0:17:20I think my character over the last...
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Particularly in my playing career and my life, I think my character
0:17:23 > 0:17:25stands up to any accusation that has been levelled at me.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Let's get going, eh?
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Neville's limited coaching experience featured in a
0:17:29 > 0:17:34documentary about Salford City FC, the non-league club he co-owns.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37But despite not being among the FA's short-listed candidates, even
0:17:37 > 0:17:38applying, the former Manchester United star
0:17:38 > 0:17:40said he had earned his new
0:17:40 > 0:17:43job.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45I had to go through stringent tests and presentations, six, seven
0:17:45 > 0:17:47hour interviews with the FA, psychometric profiling,
0:17:47 > 0:17:51for four, five hours.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54It was a long process that they put me through, but ultimately
0:17:54 > 0:17:56I am the best man for the job,
0:17:56 > 0:17:59and I shouldn't be embarrassed about that.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Neville met the England squad at a training camp last week,
0:18:01 > 0:18:03but readily admits he has plenty to learn,
0:18:03 > 0:18:06spending the last few days at Women's Super League matches in a
0:18:06 > 0:18:08bid to get up to speed.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10But he denies suggestions he sees this as
0:18:10 > 0:18:11just a stepping stone.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13I know women's football, but do I know everything
0:18:13 > 0:18:15about women's football?
0:18:15 > 0:18:16No, but I will.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17And that is part of my job.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20I have been at two games this weekend, I have seen three games
0:18:20 > 0:18:22already in the week.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I want to develop into a World Cup winner, I
0:18:24 > 0:18:27want to develop into an Olympic gold medallist, I want to win the Euros.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29I want the players to develop under me.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30I'm an England manager.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Any job after this will be a step down,
0:18:33 > 0:18:34not a step up.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36On the pitch at club level, Neville won almost everything
0:18:36 > 0:18:39there is to win. As a coach, he has plenty to prove.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41But turn the Lionesses from contenders into
0:18:41 > 0:18:42champions, and the FA's controversial choice
0:18:42 > 0:18:45will be vindicated. Dan Roan, BBC News.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50The deficit in the pension fund of the collapsed construction giant
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Carillion could be almost a billion pounds - far higher than
0:18:53 > 0:18:55first thought - according to MPs.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58The Commons Work and Pensions Committee has accused the company
0:18:58 > 0:18:59of trying to "wriggle out" of its obligations
0:18:59 > 0:19:01to its pensioners, while continuing to pay dividends
0:19:01 > 0:19:03and high salaries to executives.
0:19:03 > 0:19:11Our business editor Simon Jack is here.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17The committee's enquiry begins tomorrow and the focus will be on
0:19:17 > 0:19:24the whole.How did that open up over time, Frank Field has written to the
0:19:24 > 0:19:28stakeholders about it. We have had some responses, the first from the
0:19:28 > 0:19:31chair of the pension trustees who says in his response, I tried for
0:19:31 > 0:19:35ten years to get more money out of the company when I told them I did
0:19:35 > 0:19:39not have enough, and every time they said they did not have enough cash
0:19:39 > 0:19:49flow. Then people will say, if you did
0:19:49 > 0:19:51did not have enough cash, how did you pay out the dividends and
0:19:51 > 0:19:54salaries and the focus will go to the regulator who has powers to
0:19:54 > 0:19:56oversee these things. Why did they allow it to happen? The regulator
0:19:56 > 0:19:59says we engage with the company when we knew it was in trouble and we are
0:19:59 > 0:20:03starting an investigation and Frank Field has called that tentative and
0:20:03 > 0:20:07apologetic. This is not the only enquiry, there is another one about
0:20:07 > 0:20:11the executives and one from the financial reporting Council about
0:20:11 > 0:20:17the auditors, so lots of big questions, but at the heart of it,
0:20:17 > 0:20:22when the pension fund is in deficit and the company says, if you do not
0:20:22 > 0:20:30fix this, the company says if we do, we will go bust, what do you do?
0:20:30 > 0:20:33A mother whose young children were left on their own at home
0:20:33 > 0:20:35after their father died suddenly is calling on schools in England
0:20:35 > 0:20:37to have a better system for emergency contacts.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Helen Daykin was away on business when her husband Chris died,
0:20:40 > 0:20:41while looking after their two daughters.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44But the school didn't try to contact her to say her daughter
0:20:44 > 0:20:45was absent from school.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49She's been speaking to our Education Editor Branwen Jeffreys.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Chris Daykin, devoted to his girls, he took photos, almost every day.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Chris was the stay at home parent, while his wife Helen
0:20:56 > 0:20:58travelled away for work, leaving Pearl and Iris
0:20:58 > 0:21:02with their dad.
0:21:02 > 0:21:08It was on a trip to London that she became worried.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10As the day went on, I was ringing, just randomly
0:21:10 > 0:21:15and I hadn't got an answer.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17And then one of my neighbours rang, to say that the milk
0:21:17 > 0:21:19was still on the doorstep.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21It was a while before I got through to somebody,
0:21:21 > 0:21:25to find out that Pearl was not at school that day.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29I got on the train and at eight o'clock I got a phone call to say
0:21:29 > 0:21:34that my husband had died.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36But that the children were OK.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39So the police had broke in, the children were
0:21:39 > 0:21:45found in bed with him.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49Pearl was only four and had just started school.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Her little sister, Iris, was two.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55They spent the night, day and evening near the body
0:21:55 > 0:22:00of their dad, too frightened to go downstairs.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04They don't talk about it.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Pearl, especially.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08It is imprinted in her memory.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11So, they have got grief but they have also got trauma.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12On top of it.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Being there, seeing the daylight, seeing it go dark again,
0:22:15 > 0:22:19being hungry and cold, not knowing when Mummy
0:22:19 > 0:22:24was coming home.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Helen now wants change.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30The school only tried to ring Chris, she wants schools to have at least
0:22:30 > 0:22:37two contact names with home visits if no one answers.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40There is no reason why this could not happen again.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41No reason at all.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45How the children did not hurt themselves, I've got no idea.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47So, I just don't want anybody to have to go
0:22:47 > 0:22:55through this, what we went through as a family, again.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58It is not the only case.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Esther Eketi-Mulo, a single mum, died suddenly of epilepsy.
0:23:01 > 0:23:06Her four year old son Chadrack had learning difficulties.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08The school rang his mum repeatedly.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12It was the only contact number they had.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Over the next few days, staff came here twice,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18but could not get access to the block of flats.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Chadrack's body was found two weeks later.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26Curled up next to that of his mum.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30His school now has new policies on checking on pupils.
0:23:30 > 0:23:35Chadrack's death has lead to wider calls for change,
0:23:35 > 0:23:40ministers may ask schools to keep a second contact number,
0:23:40 > 0:23:42but the review here into what happened is likely
0:23:42 > 0:23:46to go further.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Having a second phone number is a great tactical option,
0:23:48 > 0:23:51but if that number is not answered, then what do you do?
0:23:51 > 0:23:54So our agenda for government is to say, breathe life into this,
0:23:54 > 0:23:57make the policy something that drives an activity and says
0:23:57 > 0:24:00until you tick the box that says the child is safe,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03then everything else does not matter.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Chadrack's lonely death here was a preventable tragedy,
0:24:07 > 0:24:11but a child alone in a busy block of flats, one more contact number
0:24:11 > 0:24:14might have made a difference, but it is not enough for Chris'
0:24:14 > 0:24:22family or for Helen, dealing with the trauma of her girls.
0:24:25 > 0:24:32BBC News.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36It appeared on a bridge over the River Hull last week -
0:24:36 > 0:24:38a new work by the graffiti artist Banksy - entitled
0:24:38 > 0:24:39Draw The Raised Bridge.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42But over the weekend it was defaced by someone who appeared to have
0:24:42 > 0:24:43covered it with White paint.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45That's when a local window cleaner stepped in.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Jason Fanthorpe heard late last night that it had been vandalised.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51So he gathered up his equipment, and headed over to help.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52Danny Savage reports.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54It appeared last week on an old bridge in Hull.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57A Banksy mural of a child carrying a wooden sword with a pencil
0:24:57 > 0:25:00attached to the end.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04People flocked to see it, but then it all went wrong.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Last night, it was vandalised and until a few weeks ago,
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Hull was the UK's City of Culture, but somebody took exception
0:25:09 > 0:25:13to this piece of culture.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16It was painted over and potentially ruined.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20But before it dried, volunteers turned up to uncover it.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21They included window cleaner Jason Fanthorpe,
0:25:21 > 0:25:26armed with some ladders and white spirit.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29He was back at work today, being modest about his achievements.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31You can't judge the reputation of an entire city by
0:25:31 > 0:25:36one act of vandalism.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38The fact that so many people pulled together as a community,
0:25:38 > 0:25:41it shows that people are better than that.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Now a plastic screen has been put up over it for protection.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48I just think it is a shame that Hull, having been the City
0:25:48 > 0:25:52of Culture of last year, have we learned nothing, you know?
0:25:52 > 0:25:55The fact that we are now having to protect something that is art.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Banksy is renowned for his messages that he shares with people
0:25:59 > 0:26:04and I look at all these people, it is brilliant.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08Those who saved this Banksy say it is a gift to the city and it
0:26:08 > 0:26:09must be looked after.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Danny Savage, BBC News, Hull.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13Time for a look at the weather...
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Here's Ben Rich.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Here's Ben Rich.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25The very mild weather of the weekend is a memory because things have
0:26:25 > 0:26:29changed significantly. Yesterday in the best of the Sunshine week that
0:26:29 > 0:26:33up to 15 degrees, very impressive for January but today we have seen
0:26:33 > 0:26:38rain and behind that the air has turned colder, so much so that by
0:26:38 > 0:26:43the middle of the week temperatures might go back to five or 6 degrees
0:26:43 > 0:26:46and it will go colder tonight, particularly for Central and
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Southern areas, under clear skies, there could be France, even in the
0:26:50 > 0:26:56towns and
0:27:03 > 0:27:06cities but in the countryside, it could get two minus five. In the
0:27:06 > 0:27:09North, more cloud. This is how we start tomorrow morning, the odd fog
0:27:09 > 0:27:11patch in the north-west but generally speaking, the Midlands
0:27:11 > 0:27:13into Wales, a largely fine start. Temperatures down on why they were
0:27:13 > 0:27:17this morning. Bear that in mind for the morning commute. Similar story
0:27:17 > 0:27:25for Northern Ireland. From Aberdeen to Edinburgh and Glasgow, rain.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29Strengthening winds. As the wet weather here combines with melting
0:27:29 > 0:27:34snow, there is the ongoing risk of some issues with flooding and that
0:27:34 > 0:27:38would bring cloudy, damp and murky weather in, but elsewhere after that
0:27:38 > 0:27:41cold start, we are looking at a decent day, some spells of sunshine,
0:27:41 > 0:27:47I is between six and 10 degrees. Through Tuesday night, here comes a
0:27:47 > 0:27:53cold front which will introduce a fresh surge of cold air in the
0:27:53 > 0:27:57country and I think Wednesday is going to be a particularly cold
0:27:57 > 0:28:02feeling day because not only do we have the cold air in place, the wins
0:28:02 > 0:28:07will be strong, touching gale-force in places. There will be sunshine
0:28:07 > 0:28:13and showers, wintry over high ground in the north but even on low levels
0:28:13 > 0:28:16in Scotland, it will feel cold with the strength of the wind. We lose
0:28:16 > 0:28:20the showers for Thursday but it stays cold and windy add another
0:28:20 > 0:28:25change for Freddie, cloud and rain will spread from the West. The theme
0:28:25 > 0:28:27is something colder -- change for Friday.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30A reminder of our main story...
0:28:30 > 0:28:33A man who committed more than 200 terrorist offences -
0:28:33 > 0:28:37including five murders - is spared decades behind bars.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40He offered to testify against his former associates.
0:28:40 > 0:29:01That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me -
