:02:29. > :02:31.It's impossible to comprehend the torment and anguish the victims

:02:32. > :02:34.have suffered at the hands of these offenders, who over a number

:02:35. > :02:37.of years befriended them, eroding their confidence

:02:38. > :02:41.and accepting systematic abtse as normal behaviour.

:03:06. > :03:08.Becky Lewis from the charitx told me how they help young people who had

:03:09. > :03:18.So what we know is that thex need to be believed and they need

:03:19. > :03:21.practical support to allow them to be safe in the community,

:03:22. > :03:25.For people to respond effectively and quickly to stop

:03:26. > :03:27.people who have offended against them and perpetrated

:03:28. > :03:36.We know that their parents or carers often need support to understand

:03:37. > :03:39.what is happening to their child and we know that young people may,

:03:40. > :03:45.in time, but not all young people, want to access some form of therapy

:03:46. > :03:48.or counselling from specialhst sexual violence services.

:03:49. > :03:50.But the picture will be different for every child, depending

:03:51. > :03:55.These sort of cases seem to keep on coming round and the numbers seem

:03:56. > :04:03.From our opinion, in Barnardo's what we would say is that wd think

:04:04. > :04:06.that these cases were always there, we think that there has alw`ys been

:04:07. > :04:08.large numbers of children who have experienced extensive

:04:09. > :04:16.Certainly that is what we h`ve seen in our work over the last 20 years,

:04:17. > :04:19.but the prominence of the c`ses that have come forward, the high,profile

:04:20. > :04:24.cases that have been in the media, we believe have allowed victims

:04:25. > :04:27.to see that they will be believed, we also know that agencies

:04:28. > :04:30.are working better together and so are working harder

:04:31. > :04:36.So how do you go about spotting children who are in

:04:37. > :04:41.So, the warning signs of sexual exploitation can include yotng

:04:42. > :04:44.people who go missing from home or from school,

:04:45. > :04:48.young people whose behaviour becomes very erratic or secret.

:04:49. > :04:52.Young people who talk about having older boyfriends, girlfriends

:04:53. > :04:56.or friends or present with unexplained injuries,

:04:57. > :04:59.or where their online use is concerned, where there are lessages

:05:00. > :05:05.And it really varies becausd we see sexual exploitation present

:05:06. > :05:08.in so many different ways but they are just some of the main

:05:09. > :05:10.signs or warning signs we would expect to see.

:05:11. > :05:23.A train carrying more than 200 people split in two

:06:39. > :06:40.where Alfred Jeffries played as an innocent boy.

:06:41. > :06:43.We've uncovered his path to the Somme and the terrible events

:06:44. > :06:46.that saw him shot at dawn 100 years ago this very morning.

:06:47. > :06:48.This is the last image of private Alfred Jeffries,

:06:49. > :06:50.the only Bristolian to be executed for his desertion.

:06:51. > :06:52.He worked here at a metal factory in St Philips,

:06:53. > :06:55.a few yards from his home, but volunteered for the barbed wire

:06:56. > :06:59.Today, his great-nephew, David, who worked to clear his namd,

:07:02. > :07:04.She and her family were nevdr told that Alfred was executed.

:07:05. > :07:06.Very upset, I guess, that we did not know

:07:07. > :07:10.I don't know whether it was the family did not talk abott it

:07:11. > :07:14.or they simply just did not know, but as far as I am aware,

:07:15. > :07:17.my grandparents were not aw`re of it, my father definitely was not

:07:18. > :07:20.aware of it, so it was all news to us from that point of vidw.

:07:21. > :07:22.But, no, a horrifying thing to have happened.

:07:23. > :07:25.Alfred was among the frenzy of recruits on the outbreak of war.

:07:26. > :07:27.He joined his brother Arthur in the trenches.

:07:28. > :07:35.Arthur died a hero, two months before Alfred was shot as a coward.

:07:36. > :07:38.They accused him of deliber`tely fleeing the scene knowing

:08:01. > :08:23.His name appears in the Bristol role of honour, one of 5000 names

:08:26. > :08:27.by future generations of patriotic Bristolians with pride.

:08:28. > :08:30.But, you know, the injusticd of that court-martial echoes down

:08:31. > :08:34.Here he was, Alfred, an educated Bristol man

:08:35. > :08:37.against an officer elite who did not seem to like him very much

:08:38. > :08:39.and they held his life in their hands.

:08:40. > :08:49.By this time, at home, support for the war was heading

:08:50. > :08:51.The volunteers dried up and conscription was introdtced

:08:52. > :08:53.On the front line, men were dying in vast numbers

:09:08. > :09:15.Field Marshal Douglas Haig, ex-Clifton College in Bristol

:09:19. > :09:20.Alfred Jeffries was a victil, not only of the battle,

:09:21. > :09:23.but the system which saw men like him who were considered

:09:24. > :09:27.We got the posthumous pardon, which is nice, to be honest,

:09:28. > :09:29.for the government to look back and say it was wrong,

:09:30. > :09:42.for the people that it really affected at the time.

:09:43. > :09:45.It was 90 years before Alfrdd received that official pardon,

:09:46. > :09:47.stating that he did not deserve to die.

:09:48. > :09:48.Today, at the national arboretum in Staffordshire,

:09:49. > :09:51.there is a memorial to the 345 other British soldiers who

:09:52. > :09:54.And here, outside his home, 100 years on from that

:09:55. > :09:56.called Don execution, both Jeffries Brothers,

:09:57. > :09:57.Alfred and after, I remembered with respect.

:09:58. > :10:01.We're back with you tomorrow, but for now, I'll say goodnhght

:10:02. > :10:03.and leave you with Ian who has the forecast.

:10:04. > :10:08.We enter into each other ph`se of the weather now. Tomorrow as well as

:10:09. > :10:11.some early frost we will have a fair amount of sunshine. There whll be

:10:12. > :10:15.exceptions some cloud out to the rest, for example, but this will

:10:16. > :10:20.lead us into a dry and sunnx day. Through the rest of tonight, we are

:10:21. > :10:27.expecting some patches of F`lcao form. Nowhere near as widespread as

:10:28. > :10:30.last night. We will see somd of that and errors of cloud out tow`rds the

:10:31. > :10:34.West but temperatures could get as low as 1 degrees or two Celsius in

:10:35. > :10:38.the countryside, 5 degrees for urban areas. Many of you might wake up to

:10:39. > :10:43.see frost on the car windscreen tomorrow, but not everywherd. As the

:10:44. > :10:47.day continues, there will bd cloud out to the West, effectivelx a good

:10:48. > :10:51.deal of sunshine elsewhere, many of us should see that on and off

:10:52. > :10:53.through the course of the d`y. Light winds throughout, remaining dry and

:10:54. > :10:58.temperatures are below aver`ge for the time of year, some nine or 1

:10:59. > :11:02.Celsius is typical. Similar story as we head overnight

:11:03. > :11:11.before turning unsettled. Good You know what, in

:11:12. > :11:18.evening. the last few days, much more following the calendar. A warm

:11:19. > :11:22.end to October, 1st November, abrupt change to the weather. In fact over

:11:23. > :11:25.the next few days, we will be getting colder air all the way from

:11:26. > :11:29.the north, almost from Arctic regions, a real nip in the air

:11:30. > :11:33.particularly for folks getting up early in the morning A good frost

:11:34. > :11:36.around and there is a frost on the way tonight. This is what is

:11:37. > :11:41.happening on the satellite. This ribbon of cloud is a cold front

:11:42. > :11:45.Watch the clouds in the north. See, they are coming in from the north,

:11:46. > :11:49.where the air is coming from. This cold front is moving southwards and

:11:50. > :11:53.away from us and the colder air in the north is oozing down across the

:11:54. > :11:58.UK and by the early hours of Wednesday, we are all in the colder,

:11:59. > :12:02.colder air from the north and you see how the frost develops by the

:12:03. > :12:03.early hours of the morning even down south.
