:00:56. > :01:01.men by the raping her or sexually assaulting her over a period of just
:01:02. > :01:05.three years. The court heard she did it to make her partner jealous and

:01:11. > :01:18.devastating effect on the men she accused. One of them asked us not to

:01:23. > :01:31.almost three years in prison convicted of rain, before being

:01:40. > :01:45.Gemma Peel had accused him of raping her but in fact she had asked him to
:01:46. > :01:57.have sex. What do you think of her? Evil. I mean, she can't be a normal
:01:58. > :02:05.person. If you are going around trying to destroy an innocent
:02:06. > :02:08.person, that person is not normal. The day he was sentenced to seven

:02:42. > :02:50.Who will believe them now? She is making it hard for the other

:05:17. > :05:20.the attacks are likely although very few people actually believe one of

:05:27. > :05:33.face a huge task of keeping us safe. We may have seen a surge in attacks
:05:34. > :05:36.this year. I have total confidence in the British intelligence agency

:06:12. > :06:14.London protested outside the Palace of Westminster over pay
:06:15. > :06:17.and zero hours contracts. The company said the people involved
:06:18. > :06:34.represent one hundredth of one The first worker walking out on the
:06:35. > :06:39.morning of the first ever strike by McDonald's staff in the UK. Staff at
:06:40. > :06:44.this restaurant and one in Cambridge are striking for more pay and better
:06:45. > :06:50.conditions. They also took part in a rally at Westminster. Many staff say
:06:51. > :06:55.wages are too low and impossible to live on. Some of the 16-year-old
:06:56. > :07:00.workers are on ?5 something an hour. I am on ?7 something and our
:07:01. > :07:06.especially in London. We need a higher living wage. We need at least
:07:07. > :07:11.?10 an hour to live on. After bills and rent we have nothing left at the
:07:12. > :07:15.end of the month. We have people who are homeless and cannot afford to
:07:16. > :07:21.eat properly because they are not earning enough. I can never move out
:07:22. > :07:26.of my parents house or afford Uni. I can barely live off my wages. Jeremy
:07:27. > :07:32.Corbyn to beat support and the Shadow Chancellor was there. I am
:07:33. > :07:37.supporting the McDonald's strikers. A few years ago we launched a fast
:07:38. > :07:43.food campaign and ending zero hours contracts. Making sure that the
:07:44. > :07:48.company recognises a trade union. Unions are not recognised by
:07:49. > :07:51.McDonald's. If they value their people as much as they say they did
:07:52. > :07:56.they would not have a strike going on today. They would not have these
:07:57. > :08:01.people making a brave and historic decision to walk out on strike.
:08:02. > :08:08.McDonald's say strikers represented a tiny amount of its workforce. Out
:08:09. > :08:13.of its 1270 restaurants strike action was only taken at two. Even
:08:14. > :08:16.so these fast food workers have suddenly made their voices heard.
:08:17. > :08:21.So what have McDonald's, a big employer, had to say about this?
:08:22. > :08:27.McDonald's employs about 85,000 people in the UK. It told us that in
:08:28. > :08:32.April it announced that workers would be offered a choice of
:08:33. > :08:38.flexible or fixed contracts. 86% chose to stay on the flexible
:08:39. > :08:43.contracts. It also says there have been three pay rises since April 20
:08:44. > :08:49.16. It increased the average hourly rate by 15%. It also says that only
:08:50. > :08:56.14 workers took part today in the action was related to internal
:08:57. > :09:04.grievance procedures and not pay. So, as we have said, McDonald's, a
:09:05. > :09:09.big employer, a major brand, doing over this has damaged their
:09:10. > :09:11.reputation in anyway? McDonald's has put a lot into its advertising to
:09:12. > :09:15.attract staff lately. Some glossy adverts that our viewers might have
:09:16. > :09:19.seen. The website is full of testimonials say what a great pace
:09:20. > :09:23.it is to work. Although this may have only affected two restaurants,
:09:24. > :09:25.probably its image as a good employer will have taken the biggest
:09:26. > :09:28.blow. Thank you for now. And it's over to Wendy now
:09:29. > :09:43.for a look at this week's weather. Something a little fresher than we
:09:44. > :09:47.got today. 23 degrees. We might just get there tomorrow. It is a warm and
:09:48. > :09:52.humid start the week. Then it will become fresher midweek and turns
:09:53. > :09:56.later on rather more autumnal. A low pressure system be felt on Thursday
:09:57. > :10:00.night onwards into the end of the week for that you can see the wiggly
:10:01. > :10:07.lines and how many of them that are. It'll be quite woozy towards the end
:10:08. > :10:13.the week and into the weekend. -- quite breezy. One or two showers
:10:14. > :10:16.trailing away north of London. Elsewhere there would be a bit of
:10:17. > :10:23.cloud around and it will feel rather warm for the time of year. It will
:10:24. > :10:27.be warm when we commute off to work in the morning as well. Through the
:10:28. > :10:35.day we will seek a fair amount of cloud and bits and pieces of rain.
:10:36. > :10:39.Temperatures at least 20, 21 in the best of the sunny spells. Perhaps a
:10:40. > :10:44.tiny bit higher than that. It will feel fresher towards the end of the
:10:45. > :10:48.day. Certainly so on Wednesday. A bit of a breeze blowing but there
:10:49. > :10:53.will be decent spells of sunshine. Dry on Thursday as well. Overnight
:10:54. > :10:57.will start to see some blustery showers showing up. Into the weekend
:10:58. > :11:00.it will be a mixture of sunshine, blustery showers. Ill be windy and a
:11:01. > :11:16.bit on the = as well. Good evening. We are in the heart of
