Its expected to be the citys largest ever march. Good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. Murderers who fail to disclose the whereabouts of a victims body could spend longer behind bars, under legal changes being set out by the government. Whats become known as helens law which will apply in england and wales follows a campaign by the mother of helen mccourt. She was killed 31 years ago, but her body has never been found. Ben ando has more. For 31 years Marie Mccourt has been fighting for helens law, named after her daughter, who was just 22 when she was abduct and murdered in 1988. Her killer, pub landlord ian simms. He has never revealed the whereabouts about of helens body. To have this law means that other families will not have to hopefully go through the pain and grief for as long as i have. I believe that these killers now have to face up to what they have done, because to take a life is horrendous, but then to take the lives of the family of that loved one, and not let them know where their loved ones body is, there is no torture worse than that. Marie led a campaign demanding that murderers who refuse to disclose the whereabouts of a victims remains spend longer behind bars. In 2016, mps voted in favour of helens law, but it didnt receive government backing until now. With thejustice secretary david gauke proposing that it be introduced as soon as is practicable. The parole board can also use withholding information as a reason not to release a prisoner, because it suggests they are still an ongoing risk to the public. But it is optional. Helens law changes that, and makes factoring it in a legal requirement. Even now, marie lights candles every week at her home in merseyside. Although she still does not know where her daughters remains are, the creation of helens law may provide some comfort, especially if it means other families wont have to face both the pain of loss, and the agony of not knowing. Ben ando, bbc news. The former conservative leader, iain duncan smith, says more work needs to be done to ensure that Party Members do not vote twice when they elect the countrys next prime minister. A bbc investigation has uncovered evidence that some members have received two ballot papers. Around 160,000 people are being sent postal ballots as they decide whether to endorse borisjohnson orjeremy hunt as tory leader. Manveen rana reports. The conservative campaign rolled into nottingham today as the tory leadership rivals face members again in the battle for number ten. Voting has already begun, but the bbc has learned that some Party Members have received more than one ballot paper in the post. A Party Insider said at least 1,000 people could be affected, from the total membership of up to 160,000. Some were based in more than one constituency and joined the local party in each area. 0thers included women, who received separate ballot papers in their maiden name and married name. I am certain the chairman of the conservative party has been asked to look carefully at how they sift, so there is an issue here, i accept that, but rather than get bogged down in the process, the truth is even in a general election people are registered in different areas. But unlike general elections, electoral law doesnt apply in this contest. The vote will be governed by the conservative partys own internal rules, and its ability to police them. Well, it is made clear on the ballot paper you are only allowed to vote once, and i expect conservative members to follow that. You rightly point out that if people have joined two associations they may get two ballot papers, i get two in elections because im on two different sets of electoral registers, it doesnt mean i vote twice i dont. The conservative party couldnt confirm how many bsllot papers had been sent in error or how they would ensure that all the votes they received were valid. Instead, they issued a statement saying, those who vote twice will be expelled from the party. The onus is now on members to vote once for one of the two candidates before the ballot closes on 22nd july. The former head of British Intelligence has told the bbc that the uk is going through a political nervous breakdown. Sirjohn sawers has said hes deeply concerned about the calibre of politicians in the uk as the country prepares to leave the European Union criticising both the conservative party and labour. Emergency crews in Southern California are tackling a number of fires and gas leaks after the state was hit with its biggest earthquake in more than 20 years. The epicentre of the quake, which had a magnitude of 7. 1, was near the city of ridgecrest, about 150 miles north east of los angeles. Angus crawfords report contains some flashing images. Oh, my god. Fear and shock. Two quakes in two days. This one, seven. 1 on the richter scale, the largest for 20 years. Nerves stretched to the limit. Go, go, go panic is infectious. 8 21am here on the air, we are experiencing. And very public. I think we need to get under the desk. 0k, were going to go to break. Will be right back. Wow. In hollywood, tourists werent sure what to make of it. Everythings moving, and the chandelier was shaking, and the kids were saying, its an earthquake. Ways are that the rest of the people in our neighbouring rooms were looking at each other. We were all kind of scared, just freaking out about it. For cinemagoers, and unnerving experience. My friends and i were watching a movie when it happened. We were watching midsommar, which is a horror movie, and there was a part where the world turned upside down, and we thought it was the speakers, but the whole theatre started shaking. And after about, like, ten seconds people started to get up to leave. Landslides blocked some roads. Motorists using their bare hands to clear the debris. Broken gas pipes caused fires, though no serious injuries were reported. And heres why. The epicentre, remote ridgecrest near death valley. But theres more to come. This was a very large earthquake. And we also know theres going to be a series of after shocks as a result of the main quake. So we want to prepare ourselves and be able to have those resources in place as the days go on here. For now, california counts the cost of this quake and waits for the next. Angus crawford, bbc news. Earlier dr wendy bohon a geologist studying earthquakes at the Incorporated Research institutes for siesmology in washington dc said that more aftershocks will happen. They have issued a forecast for after shocks, we are expecting that there will be after shocks, people need to be prepared to feel more shaking and take action. That means to drop, cover and hold on. It can be really frightening to be in an earthquake. To have repeated after shocks can really put people on edge. Everybody needs to be prepared for those. It is unlikely that there will be another earthquake of the same size, not impossible, but unlikely, but there will be after shocks. Given what we call an earthquake drought, so it is unusual be have gone so long without one. The last one was the earthquake in1999, similar in one. The last one was the earthquake in 1999, similar in magnitude. This earthquake that just occurred in 1999, similar in magnitude. This earthquake thatjust occurred at the one that preceded it, magnitude 6. 4, both out any high desert, there is about 30,000 in the city in the epicentre where the earthquake started. Fortunately it is very sparsely populated, but it was widely felt. This is a great reminder for all of california that this is a earthquake country, they happen and we need to be prepared. This is a normal process of the earth, just like volcanic eruptions and other things, we just earth, just like volcanic eruptions and other things, wejust need earth, just like volcanic eruptions and other things, we just need to learn how to live with earthquakes, we need to learn how to withstand earthquakes and we need to make sure oui earthquakes and we need to make sure our cities are resilient and our population is prepared. One of britains most senior female Asian Police Officers has accused the metropolitan police of discrimination. Parm sandhu has begun legal action against the force, claiming she was denied promotion on the basis of her race and sex. Last month, she was cleared of allegations that shed breached rules about the Police Honours process. The met said it was inappropriate to comment. The duke and duchess of sussexs son is being christened by the archbishop of canterbury. 0nly close family and friends are attenfing the baptism for Archie Harrison mountbatten windsor in the private chapel at windsor castle. Theres been some criticism for the decision to exclude the public, and for the secrecy surrounding the identity of archies godparents. 0ur correspondentjohn mcmanus is in windsorfor us. Tells what you are able to tell us, if it is all shrouded in secrecy. There is not that much i can tell you, because the details have been kept very private and secret by buckingham palace. What we do know is that the service is taking place at the private chapel within the grounds of windsor castle, not st georges chapel, and there is going to be around 25 guests, apart from archies own parents that includes the duchess of sussexs mother, the prince of wales, duchess of cornwall and the cambridge, duke and duchess, who arrived a short time ago. Other than that we dont know much, and what is exercising a lot of the press and fleet street is that we do not know the names of the godparents 01 not know the names of the godparents or how many there are. The palace says it is keeping those names secret at the request of the godparents themselves to maintain their privacy. That and also the lack of access to the service today, like of access for the press and also for members of the public who would like to wish the family well, that has gone not down so well in some parts of the media. They have drawn a line between the amount of money that the suffixes get from the taxpayer for example, nearly two money that the suffixes get from the taxpayerfor example, nearly two in the. 5 million, to renovate their new home, and the fact that the papers say they are not getting their due access to archie. That is what they say and many commentators have been pretty annoyed about that over the past week within the newspapers, but whether that will change the royal familys newspapers, but whether that will change the royalfamilys mine, i somehow doubt it. Prince harry has made it clear he wants her son to grow up in a different way to other royal children, he is not a prince, he is not a royal highness, he doesnt have the hrh suffix, so clearly things will be different for archie than for other members of the younger royal family, that is something, his privacy, that they are determined to prevent the media from getting too close to him. I think we are seen bad been played out. There are a lot of people here, going around the usual tour of the castle, we a re going around the usual tour of the castle, we are some of them whether they are bothered. Most of them are not. You did a fine job considering they are not letting you know very much. Thank you very much. That is how you do it.

Work to protect a Lake District beauty spot from flooding is finally complete after more than three years. Glenridding was badly hit during storm desmond in 2015 flooding twice in a matter of days since then works been 1. 2 Million Pounds has been spent on the flood management system. Now, its finally finished theres relief but also frustration as Megan Paterson reports it is a landscape which inspired wordsworth and countless others since. Glenredding on the shores of ullswater is a Lake Districtjewel. The tranquillity of today a stark contrast to the chaos of december 2015. Obviously very scary, especially for the poor souls who live on this stretch of the village. And the feeling of helplessness, as well, especially at the start, because we were cut off for two days. So, when the rain comes in off those fells, those steep fells, it comes down with some force, and it washes notjust water down, but all of these rocks as you can see here. So, to see it now, and weve got this great new green space, its superb. However, it doesnt take a lot of rainfall to get this to rise. For much of the last three years, this pretty village has been a building site. Tonnes of silt and gravel to shift, walls to build higher, drainage to improve. Prevention the main focus. The main problem was gravel coming down the system and blocking the channel. What we do have now is weve improved the gauging systems, the way we monitor the river levels. Weve also installed a camera down by the bridge, so that from our incident room we can monitor how the river is behaving, making sure the bridge is clear of debris, so we can keep water moving through the system, rather than coming out of its banks, and then into peoples properties. The Community Came together in the aftermath to mop up and clean out. Alan has had a business here for 37 years. Like many, hes been left frustrated by the speed of the work. Devastating. To see your business and your livelihood sail off down the road in the water. The period of time it took to do i cannot believe it took three years. Three years, why has it taken three years to do this . The challenge of working in a river environment, there is always an opportunity to try and make things faster, we wanted to make sure that the scheme that we left the community in was as good as it could possibly be and blended in with the community in the longer term. As the climate changes, so too will the landscape. This community, like many others, hopeful it can manage those changes and limit the devastating impact of future flooding. Megan patterson, bbc news. Hundreds of runners have been given free entry to next years London Marathon after many of them complained of being called fat and slow as they aimed to complete the race this year. Those running the course in times of about seven and a half hours described how they had to dodge vehicles as the clear up started around them. And liz ayres, who was a pace runner in this years London Marathon, joins me now. I thing ithing a i thing a lot of people when they think of pace runners, those who are ahead of the pack helping those set times, the faster times. There are different pace runners at different points. Yes, a pacer well cover any time period between the start and finish, so for the London Marathon, the last place i was myself, the red pacer at seven and a half hours. Every 15 minutes or so any first stages of the race there will be a pacer and it tops down to about every half an hour. If a runner wa nts to every half an hour. If a runner wants to get in at five hours, they will follow the five hour pacer and they are guaranteed to get in. If they are guaranteed to get in. If they stay with them, they will get in at five hours. Those who stayed with me at seven and a half hours would be guaranteed to get in at that time. One of the roses to encourage people to keep their chin up, encourage people to keep their chin keep encourage people to keep their chin up, keep them going. What happened this year to those who were was the end of the pack . It went wrong right from half a mile in. We had been waiting for weight longer than we should have been, so there was already concerns about whether these people would be able to finish before qatar. I said, slog as they stick with the pieces, they should be fine. Then it went wrong. We had clean up vehicles pulling in front of us, not paying attention to our safety. We got sprayed with chemicals and water, we had abuse from officials. It really was quite horrible. Ed went on for 26 miles. That is seven and a half hours of just horrible, nasty, tense situations. There were still runners behind me who did not have the support of any other pacers support. Why . Why were you getting this abuse . A lot of them it was because they were supposedly too slow. Some groups seem to think that a proper runner is somebody who bashes out a 5 6 minute mile i can finish as quick as mo farah. It is very ha rd finish as quick as mo farah. It is very hard work out there for 26 miles, 26. 2. That does count. It is a long time on your feet. Four hours, five hours, six hours, it is still as hard as what it is for mo farah and his 2. 05. What is your view of these runners being given a free place at next years maradona . Asa free place at next years maradona . As a gesture, to apologise. Free place at next years maradona . As a gesture, to apologiselj free place at next years maradona . As a gesture, to apologise. I think it isa as a gesture, to apologise. I think it is a fantastic gesture, they didnt get the London Marathon next is that had been promised to them. I had been talking to a all through the investigation, and we were both in agreement that this is not what was expected of London Marathon, and they really did want to change that for next year, that every runner does count. You were hoping to help them celebrate, what happened to those plans . That went out the window very quickly, i had a speaker with me so we would have music, i had jelly babies, little sweets to keep them going. Spectator support gets really thin on the ground at that stage, because it is a long day for those spectators who started out by the elites have started at ten oclock, by the time we get to that stage it is a few hours later, so a long day. They have gone home. With arts, we make our own party, still see some spectators, but it not be what they see at four hours of five hour pace mark. What they see at four hours of fivehour pace mark. What is your view of what needs to happen regards the clean up operation . At some point that has to start. Absolutely, i have no problems with, i was one of the very first to go over the line make sure that all of my group we re line make sure that all of my group were together. It would have been very easy for the clean up crew and everybody to stay behind me. I was moving slightly ahead of pace all the way through the marathon. There was no need to overtake us, no need to put our endanger. Will you take pa rt next to put our endanger. Will you take part next year . Absolutely, i have promised them all a party at the back and they will get one. Thank you very much forjoining us, and i am so glad you are planning to do it again next year. You will have a great time with your sweets. Yes, definitely. The times reported that one woman said she was groped at his Country House and another that she was sexually assaulted in his private office. Sean 0neill, chief reporter for the times, wrote these clues of article and he joins as now from central london. Tell us what you are able to safely tell us about theirs. What we can say is that an unnamed, very wealthy businessman has basically struck out of court settle m e nts basically struck out of Court Settlements the two women who delivered serious sexual allegations about his conduct when they were employed by him. And that those claims were settled out of court, and the two women were required to sign nondisclosure agreements preventing them from talking about theirs. However, we found out about this case, that it was ongoing in secret at the employment tribunal system. We were able to join our sales as a party to that case to fight for over a year to have the right to report it, to act as the eyes and ears of the public. How problematic is reporting this for the complainants . It is problematic, but these were two women who were prepared to go to court at initially wa nted prepared to go to court at initially wanted this case to be heard in open court and have their day and caught and some sense ofjustice. And that is why we became aware that there we re very is why we became aware that there were very detailed accounts of the allegations that the women had been supported, corroborative accounts from their work colleagues, men and women, who alleged improper treatment and bullying and harassment by this man. In the me to era, we felt this was an important case, yet another case where nondisclosure agreements, confidentiality agreements were being used to keep things out of the public eye and to keep people silent. How commonly used are they these days . After the uproar over some very famous people having silenced women for years by using them . They are still in widespread use, and it is particularly employment disputes, and the women and Equalities Select Committee recently published a report and talked about the use of nda boot to prolong and create a cover up culture in the employment world. And to prolong culture that is damaging, that allowed intimidation, abuse and bullying to continue because things we re bullying to continue because things were kept quiet, swept under the carpet, money was paid to people to keep them quiet. We have seen this recently with the philip green case, where the nda was used out of the down people felt strongly enough that the time is right speak out. It isa similar that the time is right speak out. It is a similar situation here, i do think any number of cases the evidence from the select committee is that this is a widespread practice, the government has promised to reform it, but we have not seen those reforms yet. Smack thank you forjoining us. Now its time for a look at the weather. Some of us having a fine saturday with broken cloud and sunshine, not everyone.
