Are due to make their debut as a mixed doubles partnership. 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 abducted and murdered in 1988. Her killer, pub landlord ian simms. He has never revealed the whereabouts 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 in error. 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 northeast of los angeles. Angus crawfords report contains some flashing images. Oh, my god. Fear and shock. Two quakes in two days. This one, 7. 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 saw that. 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. The duke and duchess of sussexs son is being baptised by the archbishop of canterbury. 0nly close family and friends are attending 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. What have you managed to unearth . There is a bit of a mystery, surrounding the events here at Windsor Castle, and archies christening, but i dont think we need to call him borrowed just yet, because i do have some details about what is going on. The christening is taking place in the private chapel, not Saint Georges chapel, which is where many of the royal events traditionally take place. There are 25 guests, among them the duchess of sussexs mother, the princess of wales, duchess of cornwall, duke and duchess of cambridge are also there, and we do not know who the others are because Buckingham Palace is keeping that list of guests private. They are also playing their cards close to the chest with regards to who the godparents are. They will not tell how many there are who they are, and the palace says in respect to that it is because the godparents themselves do not waste their names to be shared with the public, which might cause some problems in later yea rs. Might cause some problems in later years. But the event is taking place and that there are lots of people here going on the usual tour of Windsor Castle, which is taking place as usual today. I have spoken to some of them about what they feel about this privacy surrounding archie which prince harry has enforced, many of them were quite sympathetic to harry and megan, of the one person came up to a shortly before we went on air and said she thought it was a disgrace, and i think it is fair to say many of the people here would actually like to see some royals on display. I think thatis see some royals on display. I think that is quite unlikely, we are waiting to see anybody does appear. At the moment they are being pretty invisible. Reporting admire with a lot of detail my considering. The uks biggest pride event is underway in central london, celebrating 50 years since the start of the modern lgbt rights movement. More than 30,000 people arejoining the parade itself, with up to 1. 5 million expected to line the streets to cheer them on.

A lot of rainbows and i, but some people say a sugar back to its roots nba protest, and that there is parties to much like a party and it shouldnt be like that. 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 ongoing to repair damage and protect the community. £1. 2 million 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. The headlines on bbc news murderers who refuse to say where theyve buried their victims could be more easily denied parole under a proposed new law. As the two men vying to be pm again attempt to win over members in two hustings today, a bbc investigation discovers some Party Members are receiving two ballot papers. A powerful earthquake has hit Southern California for the second time in a matter of days. Its the strongest in the region for 25 years. And in sport seven time champion Serena Williams is safely through to the fourth round at wimbledon. Williams beatjulia gorges in straight sets to set up a meeting with carla suarez navarro. Britains harriet darts wimbledon dream is over, though. She managed to win just two games against the world number one and top seed ashleigh barty. And Angelo Mathews scores a century as sri lanka set india a target of 265 to win at leeds in the cricket world cup. India and australia, who are playing south africa, are both already through to the semi finals. More on those stories at 5 30pm. A National Newspaper has reported that a senior british establishment figure was given anonymity after accusations of Sexual Harassment and assault in an employment case. 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. What we can say is that an unnamed, very wealthy businessman has basically struck out of court settle m e nt basically struck out of Court Settlement with two women who made serious sexual allegations about his conduct while 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 this. However, we found out about this case that it was ongoing, effectively in secret, at the employment tribunal system corner and we were able to join ourselves to that case to fight for over a year to have the right to report it, to eight as the eyes and ears of the public in the justice system. How problematic is reporting this for the complainant who makrislj problematic is reporting this for the complainant who makris i thick it is problematic, but these were two women who were prepared to go to court, and initially wanted this court, and initially wanted this court to be heard in open court and have their day in court and some sense of justice, and have their day in court and some sense ofjustice, and that is why we became aware that there were very detailed accounts of the allegations that the women had main supporting by corroborative accounts from their work colleagues, men and women who alleged improper treatment and bullying and harassment by this man so in the present era, we felt this was a very important case, yet another case where nondisclosure agreements, confidentiality 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 . Particularly after the uproar of very famous people having silent women for years by using them. They are still in widespread use. Particularly in employment disputes. The women in a quality select committee recently published a report and talked about the use of n das to report and talked about the use of ndas to prolong or create a cover up culture in the employment world and to prolong workplace cultures that we re to prolong workplace cultures that were really damaging, that allowed intimidation, abuse, harassment 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 quiet and go away. We have seen this recently also with the philip green case where there were ndas used until it broke and people felt strongly enough that their time is right to speak out. It is a very similar situation in this case. In a number of cases, i think, 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. 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. 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. Ive been speaking to liz ayres who was a pace runner in this years London Marathon they set the pace for the slowest runners. A pay so well cover any time period between the start and finish of a race, so for the London Marathon the last place i was myself, at seven and a half hours, so about every 15 minutes in the first stages of the race there will be a pacer and then it drops down to every half hour. If a run at once to get in at five hours, they will follow the five hours, they will follow the five hour pacer and they are guaranteed to get in if they stay with them. Those who stayed with me at seven and half hours would be guaranteed to get in ad seven a half hours of they are stuck with me. One of the roses to encourage people to keep their chin roses to encourage people to keep theirchin up, but roses to encourage people to keep their chin up, but what happened this year to those who were towards the end of the pack . It went wrong, right from about half a mile in. Before that. We had been waiting for way longer than we should have been. There was already concerned about whether these people would be able to finish before cut off. I said, as long as they stick with their pacers, they will 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 actually quite horrible. It went on for 26 miles, thatis horrible. It went on for 26 miles, that is seven and half hours ofjust horrible nasty, tense situations, and there were still runners behind me who did not have my support or any other pacers support and were on their own. Wide . Wi 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 five, six minute mile and can finish as quick as mo farah. It is very hard work out there for 26 miles. 26. 2, that point to does count. It is a long time on your feet, so hours, four hours, five hours, six hours, it is still as ha rd 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 in next yea rs runners being given a free place in next years marathon as a gesture to apologise for what they experienced . I thick it is a fantastic gesture, they didnt get the London Marathon expose that had been promised to them. I had been talking to you all through the investigation, and we we re 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. Every runi to change that for next year. Every run i does count. You are hoping to help them celebrate, what happened to those plans . That went out of the window very quickly. I had a speaker with me so we would have music. Jelly babies, little sweets to keep them going. Spectator support gets very thin on the ground at that stage because it is a long day for those spectators, they have started out when the elites have started at ten oclock. By the time we get to that stage it is a few hours later, a long day. With us, it was make our own party, they will still see spectators but it would not be what they see ad for five hours. What is your view of what needs to happen with regards to the clean up operation, because obviously at some point that has to start. Absolutely. I have no problem. I was one of the last to go over the start line to make sure that all of my group we re to 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, but i was moving slightly ahead of place all the way through the marathon. There was no need to overtake arts, no need to put us in danger. Will you take part next year . Absolutely, i have promised them on a party at the back, they will definitely get one. The tunisian government has banned the wearing of the niqab in Public Institutions like government offices. It said the decision was based on security reasons. The niqab covers a womans entire face, leaving only the eyes visible. The order comes after three suicide bombings in the capital tunis in the space of a week. Ramzan karmali has more. The aftermath of a suicide bombing in tunis, just one of two attacks that brought the tunisian capital on one day. The bombings resulted in two deaths and several injuries. Earlier this week a suspect being chased by police detonated his suicide vest. Witnesses say she was dressed in womens clothes. It is this Security Threat which has resulted in the Prime Minister banning the niqab from government offices. The thing back as one by some muslim women as an interpretation of modest dress. And asa interpretation of modest dress. And as a symbol of religious faith. There was a mixed response to the order on the streets of tunis today. Translation it is for our safety. If someone wears the full veil, you are no longer able to identify them. It makes say is that should be forbidden, at least in public is the choosing. I think that the problem lies here. If we start to take decisions that limit the freedom of individuals for security reasons, there may be even more serious decision being taken at that limit the freedom of individuals, so there is no reason why the state should prohibit any woman for wearing the full veil. The niqab and state buildings was not allowed up till 2011, a banner which was lifted when the then luda was ousted. They are making sure the current restriction isjust a making sure the current restriction is just a temporary one. Now its time for a look at the weather with nick miller. Saturday afternoon has delivered pleasa nt saturday afternoon has delivered pleasant sunshine across many parts of the uk, but not everywhere. We have a weather front moving south across the uk, so here it is, affecting parts of england and wales, cloud and a narrow strip of rain along that front continue to edge further southwards. Some of the sunshine that you will see today, this was a viewer earlier from the north east coast of england, but further south where your underneath that weather front not just further south where your underneath that weather front notjust cloudy skies but rain coming out of it. Here is how it looked early on a satellite picture, quite a bit of cloud, but remember that area of rain is quite narrow within that. It does bear down on the london area this evening, we could see a bit of rain at wimbledon before play is done. Continuing edging south, weakening, tonight a fuchsia was continuing towards north east scotland. Elsewhere it is looking dry, it makes of cloud and clear spells, turning quite chilly for some of us, clearer parts of scotla nd some of us, clearer parts of scotland and Northern Ireland down to five or six celsius. A cool feel for some of us as we start tomorrow, early drizzle along the south coast should pull away. Still showers a day brisk breeze to wasnt Northern Ireland, north and north east of scotland. Some of these popping up towards Northern England as we go through the day. Elsewhere plenty of dry weather, a mix of cloud and sunshine for many, high teens, low 20s, on the cool side with the breeze and showers. As for monday, High Pressure in control, dry weather, a sunny start, some cloud building, a giant of a catching and isolated channel, cloud increasing to the west, and atlantic frontal system starting to edge its way in here. Was parts of Northern Ireland and western scotland going into mind evening, a bit of light and patchy rain possible. This frontal system moving in as we go into was tuesday. Running across the northern half of the uk, so scotland, Northern Ireland, northern eglin, maybe the north midlands and wales as well, outbreaks of rain, High Pressure clinging on further south. Here it will be mainly dry. 0nce clinging on further south. Here it will be mainly dry. Once that has moved on, the second half of the week onwards, sunshine occasionally, but also showers before it looks like it it will turn mainly dry again next weekend. Good afternoon. The conservative party says it will expel anyone who casts more than one vote in the contest to choose the next leader and the countrys Prime Minister. A bbc investigation has found that some members have received two ballot papers in the post. Around 160,000 people are eligible to vote in the leadership election, which will see either borisjohnson orjeremy hunt take over from theresa may. Manveen rana reports. As the leadership rivals arrived in nottingham today to face the party faithful, it emerged errors had led to some members being issued with two ballot papers. But for the contenders it was business as usual. Get it right, and we will deliver brexit, unite our party, unleash the incredible potential of our country. We need to get brexit done, we need to get it over the line by october the 31st. Voting has already begun, and one Party Insider said at least and one Party Insider said at least a thousand people might have received an extra vote. Some were registered in several local associations. Others were women who received separate ballot papers in their maiden name and their married name. Im pretty certain the chairman of the conservative party has already been asked to look carefully at how they sift, so obviously there is an issue here, except that, but rather than get bogged down in the process, the truth is that even in a general election, people are registered in different areas. The process has been flawed. I have seen separate sets of ballot paper sent to the same person at the same address. But neither the conservative party nor the independent organisation they hired to scrutinise the election could explain, but they are adamant it doesnt damage the legitimacy of the vote. It is made clear on the ballot paper that 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, because i am on two different sets of electoral registers. It doesnt mean that i vote twice. I dont. Electoral law doesnt apply. If people are caught voting twice, they face expulsion from the party rather than a criminal conviction. The conservative partys own internal rules will decide if the vote for the next Prime Minister is afairand vote for the next Prime Minister is a fair and legitimate vote. And for the members, like those in nottingham, they have untiljuly the 22nd to decide. 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.

Ben ando, bbc news. The son of the duke and duchess of sussex is being christened by the archbishop of canterbury today. Archie harrison mountbatten windsors baptism is taking place in front of close family and friends in the private chapel at Windsor Castle, with many of the details kept secret. Our correspondentjohn mcmanus is in windsorfor us. John . Yes, there is a lot of secrecy surrounding archies christening here at Windsor Castle today. Here is what we do know. It is taking place in a small private chapel within the castle grounds, not st georges, which is where royal christenings traditionally take place. Members of the public and also the press, tv and fleet street, have been excluded, which means dont expect to see any Television Pictures of the royals arriving and departing, and that secrecy even extends to who the godparents are. Buckingham palace says that they wa nt to Buckingham Palace says that they want to remain private and anonymous, and they have respected those wishes. So a very small and private event today attended by the prince of wales and other senior royals, but certainly not by the press of the public. John, thank you very much. 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.

Comprehensively by the australian, 6 1, 6 1. Serena williams is also through in straight sets, beating julia goerges, and afterwards she let out a huge roar of relief, because she hasnt really played much coming into this tournament. She said afterwards she is quite nervous aboutjoining she said afterwards she is quite nervous about joining up she said afterwards she is quite nervous aboutjoining up with andy murray for the mixed doubles later, thatis murray for the mixed doubles later, that is the one we are all waiting for.

Ill be back with the next news at ten here on bbc one. Youre watching bbc news. Orkneys archaeological treasures are of global significance, but their World Heritage status could soon be under threat because of climate change. Experts say rising seas and higher rainfall mean popular sites like the ancient village of skara brae are extremely vulnerable. The scottish nines chief news correspondent james cook reports from orkney. Skara brae is important to me because its part of orkneys history. They taught us about skara brae at school, and it was a really interesting thing to learn about. It brings a lot of people into orkney, and into the surrounding areas. And personally, for me, i had a lot of great experiences there when i was younger, as well. It draws tourists, and it generates a lot of interest which, like, everyone benefits from. Everywhere where you we go in orkney, you meet history. But now, that history is under threat. Skara brae is onlyjust clinging on. For years, ewan hyslop has been watching nervously as the sea advances on the village. This has been here for, what, 5,000 years, this site . Is there really that severe a threat from the way that climate is just changing in the last few years . The threat here is very real, in terms of the survival of this site. The global projections for Sea Level Rise are quite astonishing, in that by the end of this century, by 2100, sea level around most of the planet could be a metre higher than it is now. If these defences werent here, what wouldve happened to the site . If these defences werent here, we certainly would have lost parts of the site, and possibly up to two thirds of the site would have gone. Two thirds of skara brae would have been washed away . Yeah, yeah, so these defences are absolutely essential. And it isntjust skara brae. Access to the ancient ring of brodgar is also threatened by climate change, say conservationists.
