It's now day nine, it's day nine and this man has been pulled out successfully The Court of Appeal has overturned non custodial sentences given to a pair of teenage boys who raped two girls in Hampshire, saying the initial punishments had been unduly lenient. The boys known as X and Y were fourteen at the time of the rapes. They've now been handed four years' detention, as well as lifelong restraining orders against the teenagers they attacked In a statement after today's ruling, the girls' families said they were deeply grateful their voices had been heard The original sentences prompted public outrage and were criticized by politicians including the former Victims Minister Jess Phillips and the Cervative leader Kemmy Bedeno Our UK correspondent, Daniel Sanford was at the Court of Appeal The two fifteen year old girls were raped in november twenty twenty four and january twenty twenty five. Both had originally consented to some sexual activity with boyx But on both occasions, it descended into a series of rapes by X and his friend Y At the original sentencing in May, the trial judge emphasized guidelines, saying that detention should be a last resort, and decided to sentence the boys to a three year youth rehabilitation order instead. public outcry, which even involved the Prime Minister The attorney general asked the Court of Appeal to consider whether those sentences were unduly lenient. The case was rushed through the system, and this afternoon, the Lady Chief Justice Baroness Carr announced their decision. X and Y participated either as principals or as assistters or encouragers in multiple rapes carried out in front of others and in which the complainants were subjected to humiliation and degradation. Sentences of detention for X and Y were unavoidable Had X and Y been adults Custodial sentences substantially in excess of ten years would have resulted. The appeal courourt imposed new sentences of four years' detention on the boys That will be reduced by two hundred and thirty one days because of the time the boys spent on curfew while awaiting trial. For reasons of anonymity, we're calling the first girl the boys raped, Jasmine I asked her mother whether she was happy with the new sentence How could any mother be happy with four years Jasmine is going to live with a lifetime of trauma, and she's going to live with a lifetime sentence So for whom, of course, it's not enough, but it's more than we had yet this morning So I have to be grateful that it's more than we have this morning. A third boy, Zed, who filmed some of the rapes of the second girl, did not have his sentence increased campaigners are concerned that with the proliferation of easily available pornography and the increased use of mobile phones, this will be the first of many cases to raise the question of how to punish young teenagers convicted of sexual offences The Prime Minister has formally apologized for the historical practice of forced adoption, where tens of thousands of babies were taken from unmarried mothers in the decades after the Second World War Seakir Starmer called the policy a stain on our history and said many of the institutions involved had acted without compassion and without safeguards Piners said the apology had come too late for many people, but was a positive first step Our correspondent Duncan Kennedy reports. Itod was a day for vindication and the official erasure of historical shame. A parliamentary inquiry four years ago concluded that nearly two hundred thousand babies were taken from mothers in post war decades Beuse those women were unmarried Following a series of BBC reports, the Scottish and Welsh governments issued apologies in twenty twenty three day in the House of Commons after further campaigning by birth mothers and adoptees The Prime Minister, Sakkir Starmer made one On behalf of the UK Government Pfoundly sorry. to the mothers who were told they were unfit. who are prevented from caring for the children they desperately wanted to help and to keep and who've carried this loss for decades A number of birth mothers and adoptees watched the speech from the public gallery, some dabbing their tears. Afterwards, Diana D Fries was among a number of the mothers to speak with a sense of triumphilism but with elation Everybody who has endured all of these injustices Finally they've been heard, finally they've been seen. and finally the suffering's been recognised Adopteees like Liz Harvey also said they were content that decades of shame had been swept away Your feelings right now I'm still in shock. That was I mean this is a huge day, historically, personally for us as an adopted community And there were times when I didn't think we'd get here, but we're here State apologies remain rare in British public life force adoption stain generations of mothers and children. They hope today's apology will remove an agony had seen Without M Immigration officers have said that since Brexit it has become more difficult to check criminal records from some other countries after a BBC investigation found that a man known as the gofather of the French migrant camps is living in the UK Juana Jamal is believed to have claimed asylum here despite having been described by the French authorities as one of the most prolific people traffickers they'd ever caught when he was jailed there in twenty sixteen government says it's urgently investigating. Sue Mitchell reports. Before small boats, migrants came to the UK hidden in Lorries and Tuana Jamal helped to industrialise illegal journeys here brought thousands of people across the English Channel. When he was jailed in France, prosecutors urged the British authorities to investigate his network warning that he was funneling money into businesses in the UK We found him in Leicester running a string of fape shops, where we saw him working and driving, both illegally. So did you tell the Home office about your criminal conviction If I did something, they must know She's another of space. Sweet. If I did something Everyone knows that I never did Nothing. You're driving round this city without a license. So what? Did I hit you In recordings we've heard, Toanda James said his asylum claim had stalled, but he planned to appeal In all, we found twenty active and former smugglers we believe are in the UK, some with convictions and some of them claiming asylum Police contacts in Europe confirmed they were also monitoring fifteen of them J was jailed in France for smuggling crimes, he's linked to barbers shops and mini markets in the UK and has posted on social media about being given leave to remain. Another sells used cars in Manchester He also has a conviction from the French courts. And a smuggler living in Brighton is also selling used cars through Facebook where he's an active member of the local community groups. Lucy Morton of the Immigration Services Union says checking people and entry to the UK is unlikely to show an overseas conviction. Once we left the European Union, we lost our ability to share what's termed low level data. We still have interpol data, but that's not this level of criminality So ultimately, as long as you've not been fingerprinted in the UK before The identity that you give us when you arrive and give us your fingerprints, if you even give fingerprints, is going to be the identity we know you by The Home Office says it has mandatory security checks to confirm the identity of asylum seekers and agreements with countries to enable criminal record sharing It said immigration enforcement was at its highest level in history. Sakir Starmer has asked the homeome Secretary to review the case of a Rochdale grooming gang ringleader following his release from prison today. Shabir Ahmed, who was jailed for twenty two years in twenty twelve, is now in secure accommodation. Ahmed held dual British and Pakistani citizenship at the time of his conviction, but his British citizenship was stripped after he was jailed The government says a legal loophole has prevented his deportation. More details from our correspondent Eunis Mlla Shabir Ahmed left prison today for twenty four hours aftera accommodation, but there are questions as to why the seventy three year old is still in the UK. He was stripped of his British citizenship, leaving him with only Pakistani nationality, but the government says he can't be deported. He's part of a small group of Commonwealth citizens who arrived in the UK more than fifty years ago And the Immigration Act protects him Kir Starmer wants the homeome Secretary Shabana Mahmoud to consider options for ensuring Ahmed's deportation. His likely successor Andy Burnham has also called for his removal from the country and has said nothing is off the table. Jim McMahon is the MP for Oldam West, Chaditon, and Reyton. We canot stand somebody who arrived in our country where he was welcomed and received and given security and who was allowed to build a life who abuses our trust and abuses children in our country can just somehow say thanks to a loophole, I'm going to stay here and there's nothing you can do about that. That shows weakness as a country that just is not acceptable and it's not justice by the, for the victims and survivors, and they're the most important people in this. Ahmed's victims say he was the ring leadader of a nine man grooming gang and they are concerned about their safety. Under the terms of his release, he's electronically tagged and can't return to his last known address in Oldham or enter an exclusion zone which is centered on Rochdale The Home Secretary has confirmed that the goovernment accepts all the recommendations of the first phase of the public inquiry into the Southport killings Shapan and Mahmud pledged to right the wrongs identified and to do whatever was needed to protect the public The inquiry found that the murders of three young girls BB King, Elsie D. Stancom and Alice D Sila Agir in july twenty twenty four could have been prevented Officials in Kieiv say at least twenty people have been killed and ninety others injured in overnight Russian strikes. Ukraine's air Force says five hundred drones and seventy five missiles hit the city in what the mayor described as the most massive attack on the capital. Residential buildings, an ambulance station and a Red Cross warehouse containing humanitarian aid were destroyed Our Eastern Europe correspondent, Sarah Rainsford sent this report from Kieiv It was a frightening night in Kieiv. For eleven hours, Russia attacked the city with drones and with missiles as Ukraine tried to defend itself We heard multiple explosions and saw fires blazing right in the centre of the city We don't know what military targets Russia hit, if any. But this morning a hotel was on fire a nine story block of flats in ruins. Several people are still missing, including a teenage girl, and rescue teams fear they're buried under the concrete and the rubble of their home. Tklana lives in the block next door, and she spent the air raid crouched in her corridor away from any windows This war has already cost her immensely Her mother was killed in a Russian airstrike, and her only son died fighting for Ukraine I lost all those most dear to me in just two years. And now they've hit us here But somehow we have to go on living. Because if we leave so will Ukraine. Later, Vlodyimir Zelensky himself visited the scene The Kremlin says this overnight attack was its response to Ukrainian drone strikes on oil refineries deep inside Russia. Mr. Zelensky argued that Russia was targeting civilians because it's losing the war and has real problems He has promised to ramp up the pressure on Moscow even more in response calculating that Ukraine's drone strikes could force the Kremlin into peace talks. But so far, Vladimir Putin has opted not for compromise, but for escalation Sakir Starmer's former chief of staff Morgan McSweene has admitted to the BBC that Labor failed to properly prepare for power in the run up to their landslide general election win in twenty twenty four He added that the party had been exposed by being in power and should have been more optimistic during its early months. Here's our political correspondent Jack Fenwick Morgan McSweeney rose from being the receptionist at Labour Party HQ to the Prime Minister's right hand man in number ten, an arguably the most powerful, unelected official in the country He resigned earlier this year over his role in Lord Mandelson's appointment as the UK's Ambassador in Washington Speaking to the political thinking with Nick Robinson podcast, mister McSweeney said he was still processing Sakia's downfall and admitted that Labor had failed to properly prepare for power. Early in twenty twenty four, when we were preparing for the general election, when we were I' sitting down, I'm sitting down with Pat Mat Fat in windowless rooms hour after hour planning for day one I did start to realize that we hadn't done enough to prepare for government and then we got exposed for that, I think, early He said early events had caused the government lasting damage, including the decision to remove winter fuel payments from millions of pensioners and a row over ministers receiving free gifts from donors Mis. McSweeney said he now accepted it was a mistake to recommend Lord Mandelsom for the ambassador's job, but insisted he hadn't pushed as hard for his appointment as has been suggested He also recounted Sakir's first call with Donald Trump, in which the president made a joke about the UK's use of wind turbines. And startry to say the windmills are killing your birds. Birds are falling by the windmills Fxes are eating those birds And at this point, the officials that were in the room were barely able to contain themselves because it was extremely funny This was the first call between the Prime Mister and the presresident and everyone wanted to be professional, but we're struggl to hold it together Mr. McSweeney praised Andy Burnham's idea to create a so called numberum ten North in Manchester. But the man widely credited with bringing about Labour's election victory, insisted he had no plans himself to return to politics Andy Burnham has held a private meeting with the leaders of the eleven trade unions with financial and political links to the Labour Party. The MP for Makerfield is currently the sole candidate for the Labour leadership and is expected to become Prime Minister later this month Union sources have described the meeting as positive. Our political correspondent Ian Watson reports To become Labour leadeader and therefore Prime Minister, Andy Burnham needs to support not only of eighty of his fellow MPs, but also a minimum of two trade unions. He has already met some union leaders privately, but today he has spent nearly three hours with all of those who helped fund the Labour Party. I understand he is pushed to reconsider his decision to stick to the government's existing rules on debt and borrowing and to set out his plans for re industrialisation. He is asked to change the policy on making migrant care workers already in the UK wait much longer to gain permanent residency And he was also urged to take further action on the cost of living and to bring utilities under greater public control The leadeader of the United Union Sharon Graham, whose members include oil and gas workers, has already openly criticised the prospect of moving the current energy seecretary Ed Milliband to the treasury spokesperson for Mr. Burnham said that it was clear that Westminster needed to reconnect with working people and he was pleased to hear directly from Union leaders But their members priorities You're listening to the six o'clock newews on BBC Radio four, the main news so far. Two teenagers who avoided jail for raping two girls in Hampshire have been ordered to serve four years in detention after the Court of appeal ruled their original sentences were unduly lenient The Prime Minister has apologized for the role of the British state in historical forced adoptions, describing the practice as a stain on our history Still to come, England are celebrating making it through to the last sixteen of the World Cup, but the late night kickoff in the next round poses a dilemma for young fans I'm a bit goodutted that it's starting at one o'clock and it's going back to such a late time, but I'm also very excited to have the surprise in the morning.

I feel calm. After the initial tension and after things got a little hard for us, these maneuvvers are not in the manuals, so we had to bring a lot of our knowledge and the results evident.

Maz foruki can bring us the latest from the All England Club Arthur Fery admitted after his second round win over Otto Vironin that he had no idea that the Pincess of Wales was packed into a noisy quar eighteen to watch him achieve a career milestone, a victory that puts him into the third round of a grand slam for the first time in his career.

The encounter will take place in the forbidding high altitude Aztec A stadium in Mexico City, the scene ominously of Diego Maradononna's infamous Hand of God goal From Atlanta, here's our sports editor, Dan Roh Having scraped through against DR Congo thanks to too late goals by their captain Harry Kane, England could breathe a sigh of relief But their thoughts must turn quickly to the daunting prospect of facing an inform Mexico at their cauldron like and iconic home ground and at more than seven thousand feet above sea level England head coach Thomas Tuchall said it would be impossible for his players to acclimatize.'s a huge disadvantage for us, of course, because Mexico they play there since the tournament starts and they are adapted to the altitude, we don't have enough time to adapt. so I'm not so sure if traveling will be smooth. I'm not so sure if the sleep will be smooth, if it will be noise outside of the hotel. Okay, brring it on. It's a very, very beautiful and exciting fixture This team is ready to overcome then whatever it takes. There's a reason why Mexico's competitive record at the Aztecca is seventy wins from eighty nine games with seventeen draws and only two defeats. Experts have warned that the co host's familiarity with playing at altitude in air containing twenty percent less oxygen gives them a significant advantage Even for professional footballers that has a potentially major impact, increased heart rate, shortness of breath, dehydration, and quicker and more intense fatigue Bashellet is a performance physiologist at Loughborough University and says England's players face a formidable challenge. It's going to have an impact on performance, but it won't be high enough to have an impact on maybe their overall health or their wellbe attitude. But generally the main thing they'll find is that everything's just going feeled a lot harder. Even their ability to sleep, their ability to recover in between kind of training sessions when they're there, everything is going to be harder because there's a greater stress and load on the body It'll be England's first game at the Aztecca since their controversial quarter final defeat by Argentina at the nineteen eighty six World Cup, when Diego Maradona punched the ball into the net to score what's been known since as the Hand of God goal. Toual's men must now try to ensure it doesn't hold more painful memories for English football after Sunday night The England Mexico match may be on at one in the morning on Monday, but the Pime Minister himself was taken to social media to announce that pubs in England and Wales will be able to stay open until five AM for the game But fans still face a dilemma, principally, do you stay up for it?
