0:00:09 > 0:00:13to challenge the decision to free him.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16Worboys was ordered to appear in court in person to hear
0:00:16 > 0:00:17the High Court ruling.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The judges also decided that he should continue
0:00:19 > 0:00:20to remain in prison.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23And the head of the Parole Board has called for it to be easier
0:00:23 > 0:00:26for victims to be able to challenge the board's decisions.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18The last place in the FA Cup fifth round will taken tonight,
0:01:18 > 0:01:21as League Two Newport County head to Wembley for their
0:01:21 > 0:01:29replay against Spurs.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Two of the victims of the black cab rapist, John Worboys,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51have, together with London Mayor Sadiq Khan, been given the go ahead
0:01:51 > 0:01:55to challenge the decision to release him from prison.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Worboys was ordered to appear in person at the hearing
0:01:58 > 0:01:59at the High Court in London.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Last month, the Parole Board was criticised when it
0:02:01 > 0:02:04announced he would be freed, after less than ten years in prison.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Police believe he may have carried out more than 100 rapes
0:02:07 > 0:02:10and sexual assaults. Daniel Sandford reports.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Brought to court in a high security van for today's hearing, John
0:02:13 > 0:02:19Worboys was taken to the cells in handcuffs by four prison officers.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Convicted in 2009 of one rape, six other six offences and 12 crimes
0:02:23 > 0:02:27of drugging customers, the London black cab driver
0:02:27 > 0:02:33is suspected of assaulting around 100 female passengers.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37And his victims hadn't expected him to be released ever.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42When we were told it was an indefinite sentence, it was just,
0:02:42 > 0:02:44well, justice has been served, he has been dealt with.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46He is serving a life sentence now.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51Because that is the way it was put across to us.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53So we never thought for one second that
0:02:53 > 0:02:54he would be eligible for parole.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57But today, there he was, behind the bars
0:02:57 > 0:03:02in the dock, potentially just weeks from being freed.
0:03:02 > 0:03:09Sir Bian Leveson had ordered that John Worboys should
0:03:09 > 0:03:11be present in person, because he didn't trust the
0:03:11 > 0:03:13liability of the court's video link system.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15The judge had been told that Worboys' victims were unhappy
0:03:15 > 0:03:17at the prospect of seeing him again.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19"I am sorry about that," Sir Brian said,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22"but I'm sure you will appreciate why it will not be possible sensibly
0:03:22 > 0:03:25to conduct this hearing without him being present in some way."
0:03:25 > 0:03:28The women's lawyer described afterwards
0:03:28 > 0:03:32what it was like for one of her clients to see her attacker again.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36It was very, very difficult, but she felt it was
0:03:36 > 0:03:39really necessary to be there and to say she wasn't
0:03:39 > 0:03:41going to be frightened of him being there and to
0:03:41 > 0:03:45challenge, you know, challenge his power, essentially.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47But obviously it is hard to see him there in the
0:03:47 > 0:03:49flesh after all this time.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53In court, the women's barrister said the
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Parole Board's failure to give reasons for freeing Worboys
0:03:55 > 0:03:56was unlawful.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58"That kind of blanket secrecy is something that is
0:03:58 > 0:04:00contrary to a fundamental principle of our law,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03which is that justice is administered in the open,"
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Philippa Kaufmann QC said.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Talking to MPs at the same time, the chair of the
0:04:09 > 0:04:13Parole Board said he too would like the rules to be changed.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17I think one of the things we should look at is
0:04:17 > 0:04:21victims getting - victims who want to get one -
0:04:21 > 0:04:26getting a summary of the Parole Board's decisions.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28The judges then agreed they would hear the
0:04:28 > 0:04:32victims' legal challenge to Worboys' release in five weeks' time,
0:04:32 > 0:04:36and that until then, he should remain in prison.
0:04:36 > 0:04:44Daniel Sandford, BBC News at the Royal Courts of Justice.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46The government has released its economic forecasts of how
0:04:46 > 0:04:48different kinds of Brexit may affect the economy.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51The figures suggest all areas will suffer negative growth, and some
0:04:51 > 0:04:55of the most pro-Brexit areas will be worst affected.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57The figures have already been challenged, and come
0:04:57 > 0:05:00as the Prime Minister has been holding the first of two key
0:05:00 > 0:05:03meetings with senior ministers, to try to agree the government's
0:05:03 > 0:05:05approach to the next stage of the Brexit negotiations.
0:05:05 > 0:05:13Our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Cloistered in the Commons, ministers' cars parked give away the
0:05:17 > 0:05:21private meeting in the Prime Minister's office. The cabinet
0:05:21 > 0:05:26trying to meet -- reach a compromise, continually pushed by
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Brexiteers to adopt a tough line towards the EU.Would she be good
0:05:30 > 0:05:33enough to be very robust when discussing these matters in the
0:05:33 > 0:05:39Brexit committee, has she will be, in order to repudiate any of these
0:05:39 > 0:05:43EU threats?We will hear all sorts of things being said about positions
0:05:43 > 0:05:47being taken. What matters are the positions we take in the
0:05:47 > 0:05:50negotiations as we negotiate the best deal. We have shown we can do
0:05:50 > 0:05:54that, we did it in December and we will do it again.One Number 10
0:05:54 > 0:05:58insider told me the problem is that everybody always wants something.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01The Prime Minister must broker a deal within her own party before she
0:06:01 > 0:06:06can get on with the negotiations. Today the Brexit committee was
0:06:06 > 0:06:10discussing how to avoid bringing back the border between northern and
0:06:10 > 0:06:13southern Ireland without keeping the current customs arrangements at the
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Prime Minister is ruled out. What kind of immigration deal should be
0:06:17 > 0:06:23done with the EU. One that controls the numbers but gives business the
0:06:23 > 0:06:26staff they need. Tomorrow the discussion will move on to how we do
0:06:26 > 0:06:30business in future. Why are ministers still squirrelled away in
0:06:30 > 0:06:37your having these conversations when we voted to leave in the summer of
0:06:37 > 0:06:402016? The referendum didn't dictate exactly the relationship we would
0:06:40 > 0:06:45have with the European Union after Brexit. So for months, the Tories
0:06:45 > 0:06:50have been in a tug-of-war. Should we stay closely intertwined with
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Brussels after we go, or make a more dramatic break? The EU and business
0:06:54 > 0:07:01are running out of patients. The UK takes its time to decide.It would
0:07:01 > 0:07:04demonstrate to the world the United Kingdom is not leaving Europe as we
0:07:04 > 0:07:10leave the EU.Tory Remain rebels line up this morning to put against
0:07:10 > 0:07:15the idea of a lurch away from the EU. They are outspoken, but they
0:07:15 > 0:07:20fear the country will be worse off. It is abundantly clear to me that
0:07:20 > 0:07:23there is no model which will satisfy all sections of the British public,
0:07:23 > 0:07:29and I believe, and I've said many times before, I believe a no deal
0:07:29 > 0:07:33scenario would be bad for our economy.MPs have now seen the
0:07:33 > 0:07:36government's forecast of what could happen to different parts of the
0:07:36 > 0:07:41country if there is no deal. Over 15 years the economy in London is
0:07:41 > 0:07:46forecast to be 3.5% smaller. In the West Midlands, that voted to leave,
0:07:46 > 0:07:52it would be 13% smaller. And in the north-east, which also chose Brexit,
0:07:52 > 0:07:56hypothetically it is the worst affected. The economy potentially
0:07:56 > 0:08:0116% smaller than it is otherwise expected to be. Forecasts often turn
0:08:01 > 0:08:08out to be wrong. Very wrong. But the government is preparing to make big
0:08:08 > 0:08:12choices right now that will, for better or worse, affect us all.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17A damning report into a failed NHS Trust, seen by BBC News,
0:08:17 > 0:08:20has found that infeasible financial targets to cut costs led
0:08:20 > 0:08:21to patients being harmed, suffering fractures and having
0:08:21 > 0:08:24the wrong teeth removed.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26A review into the activities of Liverpool Community Health found
0:08:26 > 0:08:29a management team that was seriously out of its depth, caused severe
0:08:29 > 0:08:32staff shortages and bullying.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Despite the problems, the trust's chief executive
0:08:34 > 0:08:37was found another job in the NHS.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Our social affairs correspondent, Michael Buchanan, has
0:08:39 > 0:08:45this exclusive report:
0:08:45 > 0:08:54Personally, it destroyed me. I was suicidal. I was held against my will
0:08:54 > 0:08:58by a patient's relative at knife-point -- knife-point and
0:08:58 > 0:09:02sexually assaulted.The Lady died six hours after she was admitted to
0:09:02 > 0:09:08the ward.It was absolutely the most horrific time of my life.Around
0:09:08 > 0:09:12three quarters of a million people in Merseyside relied on Liverpool
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Community Health to provide services such as district nursing, dentistry
0:09:15 > 0:09:21and diabetes care. But the report we have seen, looking at services
0:09:21 > 0:09:25between 2010 and 2014, found it caused needless patient harm by
0:09:25 > 0:09:29putting costs before care. The trust, which is based in this
0:09:29 > 0:09:33building, was found to be dysfunctional from the outset. Its
0:09:33 > 0:09:39leadership team was described as being out of its depth. They said
0:09:39 > 0:09:43unfeasible financial targets that damaged patient services.We
0:09:43 > 0:09:50suddenly were taking patients with heart failure, with long cancers,
0:09:50 > 0:09:55patients who were very medically unstable and unwell. We had no piped
0:09:55 > 0:09:59oxygen.This district nurse, who wants to remain anonymous, was
0:09:59 > 0:10:03sexually assaulted on a home visit, sent out without a personal
0:10:03 > 0:10:07protection alarm.I should have been able to alert someone to where I was
0:10:07 > 0:10:12and get the help to me straightaway. I would have been out within minutes
0:10:12 > 0:10:18rather than being subjected to a horrendous time for over an hour.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22The worst failings were arguably at Liverpool prison, where the trust
0:10:22 > 0:10:26provided health care services. The review says it didn't know how to
0:10:26 > 0:10:29manage it safely. They didn't learn lessons from incidents and inmates
0:10:29 > 0:10:34died. Simon McBride killed himself in the prison in 2014. The
0:10:34 > 0:10:3735-year-old had been convicted of drugs offences. He wrote two letters
0:10:37 > 0:10:44to prison medics asking for help. His suicide could have been avoided
0:10:44 > 0:10:50if a proper, diligent and competent, effective system had been in place
0:10:50 > 0:11:00to identify and treat his issues. The trust was led at the time by
0:11:00 > 0:11:05Bernie Cuff will. She was focused on cutting costs so the trust could
0:11:05 > 0:11:09achieve foundation status, giving a more autonomy. We tried to get an
0:11:09 > 0:11:16interview with her. Excuse me. BBC News. We'd like guilty about
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Liverpool Community Health. -- we would like to talk to you about
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Liverpool Community Health. We would like to ask you a couple of
0:11:22 > 0:11:30questions. Are you a bully? Are you a bully? And as you can see, she
0:11:30 > 0:11:36didn't want to answer any questions. She resigned from Liverpool to work
0:11:36 > 0:11:40at a trust in Manchester. We have learned her new job, which
0:11:40 > 0:11:43maintained her 6-figure salary, was actually arranged by an NHS
0:11:43 > 0:11:49regulator. Labour MP Rosie Cooper, whose father was let down by the
0:11:49 > 0:11:52trust, is appalled.I don't understand why anybody would want to
0:11:52 > 0:11:58keep a failed chief Executive and or any other members of the board if
0:11:58 > 0:12:02they fail that badly, they should have been disciplined and fired.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Liverpool Community Health is now providing good services to the
0:12:06 > 0:12:09people of Merseyside, a significant improvement on its troubled past.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Michael Buchanan, BBC News, Liverpool.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14A coalition deal has been struck in Germany,
0:12:14 > 0:12:16between the centre-left Social Democrats and Angela
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Merkel's conservatives.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20The agreement looks set to end four months of political deadlock,
0:12:20 > 0:12:22following an inconclusive general election last September.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25The deal still needs to be approved by Social Democrat party members,
0:12:25 > 0:12:30many of whom fear a coalition would damage the party.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Tesco are facing a possible potential record equal pay
0:12:33 > 0:12:35claim of £4 billion.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38It's being brought by women who work in the company's stores who earn
0:12:38 > 0:12:40less than men employed in its warehouses, even though
0:12:40 > 0:12:43they claim the work is comparable.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46The supermarket says all its staff are paid fairly,
0:12:46 > 0:12:46whatever their gender.
0:12:46 > 0:12:53Our economics editor, Kamal Ahmed, reports
0:12:53 > 0:12:59Who is worth more? Warehouse workers, mostly men, loading and
0:12:59 > 0:13:04unloading lorries, or store staff, mostly women, loading shells and
0:13:04 > 0:13:08dealing with customers? This is a very different type of pay dispute.
0:13:08 > 0:13:14Not equal pay for the same job, but equal pay for different jobs. That,
0:13:14 > 0:13:18lawyers argue, had the same value.I think the role has changed over
0:13:18 > 0:13:24time.Kim and Pam have worked in Tesco supermarkets for more than 20
0:13:24 > 0:13:27years. Their rates of pay are up to three times lower than warehouse
0:13:27 > 0:13:32staff.We think we have equal rights. There are times when there
0:13:32 > 0:13:37are such discrepancies that he can't explain them. I think Tesco's are
0:13:37 > 0:13:41just one of many companies that really aren't addressing the fact
0:13:41 > 0:13:46that women seem to still be paid less.Obviously the jobs are
0:13:46 > 0:13:50slightly different but to put it bluntly, they are of equal value. We
0:13:50 > 0:13:54deal with customers. They don't have to deal with customers. We take the
0:13:54 > 0:13:59stock and we load the stock. They loaded of the lorry and we loaded
0:13:59 > 0:14:04onto the shelves.It is a debate that goes back decades.We are on
0:14:04 > 0:14:09strike until the 27th of June.Here are women workers for Ford in the
0:14:09 > 0:14:131960s, arguing that their job sewing car seat covers was comparable with
0:14:13 > 0:14:17the men who built the engines. They won after years of expensive
0:14:17 > 0:14:22battles. So how do you test whether a job is of equal value? First you
0:14:22 > 0:14:27score how much training and skill it needs to do the job. Second, how
0:14:27 > 0:14:30difficult is the job and how much responsibility does it carry? Third,
0:14:30 > 0:14:35what are the physical and emotional demands? For example, is customer
0:14:35 > 0:14:40interaction a key part of the role. --? If the roles are similar, the
0:14:40 > 0:14:44jobs are comparable. I asked the lawyer leading the case if workers
0:14:44 > 0:14:49work is the same as working in Tesco supermarkets.A man in distribution
0:14:49 > 0:14:53may score higher on a physical test, but the woman may score higher on
0:14:53 > 0:14:57the emotional content of the job while dealing with the customers. If
0:14:57 > 0:15:01the law has been there since 1984 that you can compare with a
0:15:01 > 0:15:07different job, that is 34 years to get your house in order.Tesco said
0:15:07 > 0:15:14they couldn't comment on the claimed they had not received.
0:15:20 > 0:15:29For Pam and Kim, it will be £20,000 each the legal battle is successful.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34This is not about the money. You're asking for fairness, auntie?
0:15:34 > 0:15:39Absolutely, no more, no less. Kamal Ahmed, BBC News.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40Our top story this evening...
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Victims of the black cab rapist John Worboys win the right
0:15:43 > 0:15:45to challenge the decision to free him.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48And still to come...
0:15:48 > 0:15:56A surprise new look is unveiled for Britain's earliest man.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04Coming up in Sportsday in the next 15 minutes on BBC News, another
0:16:04 > 0:16:10series gets underway for England's cricketers, and they lose their
0:16:10 > 0:16:16opening T20 against Australia in Hobart.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18It's an increasing problem for the planet
0:16:18 > 0:16:21and a concern for many of us - how can we reduce the amount
0:16:21 > 0:16:24of plastic in our lives - and recycle what we do use?
0:16:24 > 0:16:28One of the biggest culprits is plastic bottles.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Here in the UK, nearly 60% of all bottles
0:16:30 > 0:16:31are collected for recycling.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34But in Norway almost all - 97% - are collected.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36It's led to a big reduction in plastic litter -
0:16:36 > 0:16:37and could be adopted here.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Our Environment Analyst Roger Harrabin has been to Norway
0:16:39 > 0:16:41to see how they do it.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44There is a 10p deposit on this Norwegian bottle.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48It encourages me to recycle.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49Most countries, this empty bottle would go
0:16:49 > 0:16:51into the bin or worse, onto the street.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56Not here in Norway.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58I have come back into this shop and this machine
0:16:58 > 0:17:01is going to reward me for returning my bottle.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06The deposit is paid back with a coupon.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09For some, the deposit scheme is a useful source of cash.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12This man collected a bagful from an office.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15He made £5 in ten minutes.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17People seem to like the scheme.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19It is very easy.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20It is very easy.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23You just take it with you when you go shopping
0:17:23 > 0:17:28and you get your money back.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30I think I take it back, like, every month or so.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33It's not hard at all.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37At the sorting plant, a torrent of bottles.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39The cans will be melted down, the bottles separated
0:17:39 > 0:17:41into different types of plastic, then shredded and made
0:17:41 > 0:17:45into new bottles.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48The scheme is run by Norway's drinks companies, after the government
0:17:48 > 0:17:54threatened to tax every bottle they don't recycle.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58They enforced an environmental tax in Norway that will say if you put
0:17:58 > 0:18:01a bottle in the market and don't have a collection system,
0:18:01 > 0:18:04you have to pay a high tax.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07But if you set up a collection system like the deposit system
0:18:07 > 0:18:09and you increase the collection rate, then you reduce the tax.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12And that is the big motivation for the producer
0:18:12 > 0:18:13and the importer in Norway.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Drinks firms are allowed only two types of plastic bottle.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19That makes recycling easier.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21There are also restrictions on the type of label,
0:18:21 > 0:18:24even the glue that sticks the label.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27But what about the hassle for shopkeepers who take in the empties?
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Well, they get a small fee per bottle.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34And there is another surprise benefit.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38They come and give us the bottle and the money that they get from us,
0:18:38 > 0:18:41they just come to us and they buy things.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46It is kind of increasing the customers in our shops.
0:18:46 > 0:18:52Norway has had this scheme for more than 30 years.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53Others will surely follow,
0:18:53 > 0:18:55as worldwide concern grows about plastic waste.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Roger Harrabin, BBC News, Oslo.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01One of the killers of the toddler James Bulger, has been jailed
0:19:01 > 0:19:03for more than three years, after admitting to having
0:19:03 > 0:19:06indecent images of children, for a second time.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Jon Venables, who served eight years for the murder in 1993,
0:19:08 > 0:19:11was recalled to prison last year for breaching the terms
0:19:11 > 0:19:14of his licence.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Daniela Relph is at the Old Bailey, the parents of James Bulger
0:19:17 > 0:19:20were in court and were very unhappy with the length of
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Venables' sentence...
0:19:22 > 0:19:28They were very unhappy. Jon Venables appeared via a video link from
0:19:28 > 0:19:32prison, but sitting in court watching him where James Bolger's
0:19:32 > 0:19:40parents, and they heard how police found more than 1000 images of child
0:19:40 > 0:19:44abuse on Venables's computer. The children ranged in age from very
0:19:44 > 0:19:48young to around 13 years old. The judge said the images were vile
0:19:48 > 0:19:56heartbreaking. The police also found what was described as a paedophile
0:19:56 > 0:20:00manual, described as a sickening document. Reacting to the sentence,
0:20:00 > 0:20:12James bulge's father said it just was not hard enough.It was an
0:20:12 > 0:20:22insult to James and the firm Dunn family. He is just waiting for a
0:20:22 > 0:20:25victim, so let's make sure there are no more victims and keep him where
0:20:25 > 0:20:33they should be.John Venables's barrister told the court that his
0:20:33 > 0:20:40client apologised to the Bulger family.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47The police watchdog is examining a video which appears to show
0:20:47 > 0:20:49a Metropolitan Police officer hitting a demonstrator.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52The incident is said to have taken place in London on Sunday

0:21:00 > 0:21:02The Chief Constable of Police Scotland has resigned
0:21:02 > 0:21:06with immediate effect.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Phil Gormley had been on special leave since September, amid a series
0:21:09 > 0:21:11of investigations into claims of gross misconduct,
0:21:11 > 0:21:12including bullying.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13He denies any wrongdoing.
0:21:13 > 0:21:20Here's our Scotland Editor Sarah Smith.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24Phil Gormley was brought in to steady the ship that Police Scotland
0:21:24 > 0:21:30just two years ago but he has not been a for the last six months,
0:21:30 > 0:21:32allegations of the leading were being investigated. Mr Gormley was
0:21:32 > 0:21:36cleared to go back to work by the Scottish police authority back in
0:21:36 > 0:21:39November, but that decision was then reversed when the Justice Secretary
0:21:39 > 0:21:43intervened. He was worried there weren't adequate safeguards in place
0:21:43 > 0:21:47for the serving police officers who had made accusations against the
0:21:47 > 0:21:56Chief Constable.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Raising questions today about whether police Scotland is fit for
0:22:04 > 0:22:12purpose.Will soon be on our third Chief Constable, and we are on our
0:22:12 > 0:22:15third chair and chief executive or stop surely the Justice Secretary
0:22:15 > 0:22:19has to start asking himself whether there is something else going on,
0:22:19 > 0:22:23perhaps it is the structure that is the root of the problem here.I
0:22:23 > 0:22:26believe a single police force is still the appropriate model in
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Scotland, and the reality is had we not move to a single police force in
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Scotland, we would have found ourselves having to make significant
0:22:34 > 0:22:38cuts to front-line policing.Police Scotland has had a turbulent times
0:22:38 > 0:22:43and eight forces were merged into one. The last Chief Constable stood
0:22:43 > 0:22:47down early after controversies of armed officers turning up the
0:22:47 > 0:22:51routine incidents, and delayed responses to 999 calls, including
0:22:51 > 0:22:57one in which a couple lay undiscovered in a crashed car for
0:22:57 > 0:22:59three days nearly nine. Police Scotland now has to look for its
0:22:59 > 0:23:04third Chief Constable in five years, a safe pair of hands will be an
0:23:04 > 0:23:10essential job requirements. Sarah Smith, BBC News, Glasgow.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Scientists say they now know what our oldest known
0:23:12 > 0:23:20ancestor looked like - and it's something of a surprise.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24They believe that so-called Cheddar Man, a 10,000-year-old
0:23:24 > 0:23:27skeleton, had skin that was dark to black, and blue eyes.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Researchers were able to sequence his genome for the first
0:23:29 > 0:23:31time to establish aspects of his appearance.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34He was discovered in Cheddar Gorge in Somerset and Jon Kay's there now,
0:23:34 > 0:23:35this is not what scientists expected...
0:23:35 > 0:23:39It's not, and those scientists and people around here are very excited
0:23:39 > 0:23:47indeed, because for 10,000 years, Cheddar man lay undisturbed,
0:23:47 > 0:23:49undiscovered in this cave beneath Cheddar Gorge, and this replica is
0:23:49 > 0:23:55how we have tended to think of him, as a skeleton, a pile of bones. Now
0:23:55 > 0:24:02we can see him almost as a real-life human being.Putting flesh on his
0:24:02 > 0:24:08bones. The
0:24:09 > 0:24:12bones. The face of Cheddar Man finally revealed. By extracting his
0:24:12 > 0:24:16DNA and scanning his skull, experts say they have created him in
0:24:16 > 0:24:18unprecedented detail, and he looks very different from what they were
0:24:18 > 0:24:25expecting.The hair, the eyes, the face, that combination of blue eyes
0:24:25 > 0:24:29and dark skin, really very striking, something we wouldn't have imagined,
0:24:29 > 0:24:33and also get from the DNA details of his biology. The fact that he
0:24:33 > 0:24:37couldn't they just milk as an adult, that is something that came really
0:24:37 > 0:24:41with the advent of farming, and 10,000 years ago people in Britain
0:24:41 > 0:24:46didn't have that.Look is changed. This is what scientists used to
0:24:46 > 0:24:50think he looked like, a reconstruction from 20 years ago,
0:24:50 > 0:24:56when DNA analysis was nowhere near as developed.Cheddar Man and I
0:24:56 > 0:25:01share a common female relative.This is modern-day Cheddar Man. Adrian
0:25:01 > 0:25:06target lives in the same village and shares DNA with the skeleton found
0:25:06 > 0:25:11in the gorge, so time to meet his ancestor. Do you want to see you're
0:25:11 > 0:25:17great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great-grandfather?
0:25:17 > 0:25:24Here he comes.Oh, right!What do you think?It is remarkable, isn't
0:25:24 > 0:25:28it? I think there probably is some resemblance, but yes, I think there
0:25:28 > 0:25:33were certainly other members in my family who he bears a resemblance to
0:25:33 > 0:25:39come yes. Some of my cousins.You can see that in there?Yes, I think
0:25:39 > 0:25:47my eyes are blue.Let's have a look. They are blue!Vea. His hair's not
0:25:47 > 0:25:54quite as grey as mine is, or my beard.So, 10,000 years after he
0:25:54 > 0:25:59died, 100 years after he was found, finally a face to fit the name of
0:25:59 > 0:26:07Adrian's ancestor. Jon Kay, BBC News, Cheddar in Somerset.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Time for a look at the weather...
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Here's Sarah Keith Lucas
0:26:12 > 0:26:12Things
0:26:12 > 0:26:18Things are turning a little bit colder. We had a few glances of
0:26:18 > 0:26:22wintry sunshine around but not everywhere, and where we have had
0:26:22 > 0:26:25those clear skies, that is where we will see the coldest temperatures
0:26:25 > 0:26:28developing overnight. If we take a look back at what we had today, this
0:26:28 > 0:26:33was the scene in Brecon, in Powys, taken by one of our Weather
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Watchers. Snow on the higher ground and some clear skies around as well.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41As we have through this evening and the night, this weather front moving
0:26:41 > 0:26:45in from the north-west, bringing more clout and some outbreaks of
0:26:45 > 0:26:48brain and hill snow towards the north-west too. Clearer skies
0:26:48 > 0:26:55holding on to central and south-east and parts of England. There will be
0:26:55 > 0:26:57here we see the coldest conditions developing. Further north-west, more
0:26:57 > 0:27:01clout, bringing rain and some snow over the higher ground in Northern
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Ireland and Scotland. The temperatures towards the south-east
0:27:04 > 0:27:09we could see minus five degrees or even colder, certainly a frosty
0:27:09 > 0:27:12start of Thursday morning for many central and southern parts of the
0:27:12 > 0:27:16country. Through tomorrow, we will continue to see a band of cloud,
0:27:16 > 0:27:20outbreaks of rain further south into Wales and parts of northern England.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24It will brighten up for Scotland and Northern Ireland, sunny spells, a
0:27:24 > 0:27:28few scattered showers and things remaining mostly dry towards the
0:27:28 > 0:27:33south-east too. Less cold than it has been, temperatures around five
0:27:33 > 0:27:36to 9 degrees, certainly no sign of any early springlike warmth on the
0:27:36 > 0:27:39horizon. We will stick with the unsettled theme as we had through to
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Friday. Another weather front bringing further sales of rain and
0:27:43 > 0:27:48some snow over the hills. This is the outlook Friday into Saturday.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52Those temperatures just sneaking up a touch but it is remaining
0:27:52 > 0:27:55unsettled, with stronger winds on the way, more rain and more hill
0:27:55 > 0:28:10snow in the forecast too.
