Terminally ill husband. What do cheaper Computer Games have to do with the cost of living . New figures show the infation rate has fallen. On the road getting ready for the road cycling World Championships in yorkshire this weekend as millions are expected to turn out. And coming up on bbc news, Warren Gatland believes losing backs coach rob howley wont be a setback to his welsh world cup plans. We hearfrom him later. Good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. We begin today with an exclusive report into the threat of abuse, exploitation and despair facing some of our most vulnerable teenagers. Many of these children are either in care or have recently left care, but are still supposed to be supervised in what is known as semi independent living. The bbc has discovered a catalogue of alleged safeguarding failures which have left teenagers in essex and london open to trafficking and sexual abuse. This report from our special correspondent ed thomas and producer noel titheridge has content that some of you may find upsetting. Inside the unregulated homes failing to protect our most Vulnerable Children. It was a literal hellhole, living here was a punishment. Tonight, we hear stories of abuse, exploitation and despair. How many times that you attempt to take your life . I think about three times. That is actually disgusting, no one should lay their hands on someone like that. How do you sum up your experience inside centurion care . Appalling. A year ago, we were told that Vulnerable Children were being badly failed by authorities across england and wales. Increasingly, teenagers aged 16 and over and often in care are being placed in homes where checks are only made by councils, and not a regulator. We obtained this confidential briefing sent around councils with claims of serious safeguarding failings in homes run by a Company Called centurion care. We set out to find the young people affected. It was horrendous drug taking, motorbikes being stolen. We have learnt that police were conducting surveillance on this home for young people caught up with criminal gangs. I saw them dealing drugs over the back wall. While other Vulnerable People lived inside. Carla spent years in foster homes before being sent to centurion care. My self harm would be quite severe. There was a situation where it had been really bad, and i had lost a lot of blood. I went down to a member of staff and said i needed to go to the hospital, they told me that they couldnt leave the boys unattended. Refusing to take you to hospital . Yeah, he was like, oh, you should just walk to the shop. She says she was taken to a pharmacy an hour later. Its just a house where people profit from young, Vulnerable Children. Centurion care told us that all of their homes had first aid kits, incidents were recorded and sent to social workers. On one occasion, carla was taken to hospital and they cooperated with police, installing cctv to prevent drug dealing. We then moved to another centurion care home two miles away where they looked after a boy with learning disabilities. We obtained a recording outside the home showing the child in the yellow shirt, in distress, lashing out. Police were called here to an allegation of an assault by a boy on a worker. We cannot be sure what led up to this, but watch how the worker responds. Tia was also a resident at the time. That would have probably scared the life out of him. They used to swear, scream in his face, tell him that they were going to take his balloons away. Theyjust used to take him, pop them, threaten him with police. He was absolutely petrified. Centurion care told us police were given cctv footage, no one was charged with an offence, and they were not aware of any allegation of bullying on this boy. We spent weeks trying to track down someone who knew the children involved. They were all very high risk. Andy was a support worker across many of the homes. Sexually exploited kids, drugs and alcohol abuse, some with disabilities all in one roof. He seemed most shocked by what happened here. Andy remembers a girl who regularly went missing. Ijust saw a bunch of boys in a car, she just jumped in, really. From this spot . From this spot, literally right here. And that was it, that was the last time i seen her. Trafficked, gone. Yeah, gone. She was missing for more than a week before being found in the midlands. Police ended up finding her, all sorts happened. Theres no suggestion centurion care staff were involved in her trafficking. It took months to find out who she was and where she now lives. A lot of people go through things where the care system, they give up, youre alone. What was the impact on you, being taken like that . A bad impact. It was the worst. No one deserves that. Like many children in care, she was placed in a home outside of a local authority. I didnt have any friends or anything, i was always just running away, trying to get away the home, from the environment, the staff, them. She says she was also sexually abused by a young person in the home. Did the Staff Members phone the police . No. Did the Staff Members remove the boys from the home who had been hurting you . No, theyjust told me me and the guy were in a relationship. They told me thats what i wanted. Centurion care told us all staff had safeguarding training, missing person procedures were followed, and they had no record of a Sexual Assault allegation. What were you hoping it would be . Just a fresh start. The homes were closed in 2017 and the company was dissolved when an investigation was launched over organised and complex abuse facing children in the homes. We have learnt its just one 01 14 such investigations facing vulnerable teenagers in england and wales in unregulated homes. Everyone that was involved, whoever did what they did. Someone needs to pay a price for the pain. That report from ed thomas. Tomorrow night we hear about children exposed to drugs and weapons within unregulated homes and ask what needs to change to safeguard vulnerable teenagers. Three teenagers have been charged with the murder of a Police Officer who was killed while investigating a burglary. Pc andrew harper, who was 28, died after he was dragged along a road by a vehicle at sulhamstead in berkshire in august. Another man was charged with his murder last month. All four suspects are due to appear in court tomorrow. Theres been fierce legal debate on the the second day of the hearing at the Supreme Court on whether it was lawful for parliament to be suspended by the Prime Minister in the run up to brexit. Boris johnsons case is that the decision to suspend parliament was a political one and not one forjudges to rule on. But a lawyer representing his opponents told the court that the mother of parliaments was being shut down by the father of lies. Our home editor mark easton reports. At the Supreme Court, the power struggle between the united kingdoms government and its parliament has, for some, become an instagram moment, a photo opportunity. I was there. Good morning. Ii justices are being asked to make the final legal call on whether borisjohnsons decision to suspend parliament for five weeks was an unlawful ruse to get brexit done by halloween. The suggestion, ultimately, that the Prime Minister was concerned to stymie parliament whatever on earth that means is, we respectfully submit, untenable. The case hinges on what might be called westm i nsters triangle of power the relationship between 10 downing st, the houses of parliament and the Supreme Court. Sirjames eadie, the governments go to barrister, argued suspending, or proroguing, parliament was a matter for downing street and the courts shouldnt interfere. Somejudges raised a legal eyebrow. If there is anybody who is better placed to defend parliamentary sovereignty, the legal principle of parliamentary sovereignty, it is us here. Its no good simply turning up and shouting about parliamentary sovereignty because parliamentary sovereignty means a number of different things. Isnt it odd that nobody has signed a witness statement to say, this is true, these are the true reasons for what was done . My lord, i, i, i. You have the witness statement you have. So, what is borisjohnsons working assumption as to what is going to happen here . Well, a senior government source says downing street thinks the judges will want to rule on the legality of the Prime Minister suspending parliament and may want to fire a few warning shots about a government Closing Parliament illegitimately. But even if they are right, how that affects government business, or even brexit, for that matter, well, that is far from clear. Once parliament has been prorogued, the only constitutional actor Still Standing is the courts. This lawyer, representing scottish politicians who want to stop a no deal brexit, took thejudges back to the triangle of power, arguing the courts must decide on the legality of downing streets actions. Weve got here the mother of parliaments being shut down by the father of lies. Rather than allowing lies to triumph, listen to the angels of your better nature. Accusations of lying and dirty tricks inside, aggressive barracking by brexit supporters outside, as gina miller, the remain campaigner who is challenging the government, left the court. To the gallows respect the referendum, miller anger is in evidence. Mark easton, bbc news, the Supreme Court. The father of a patient has been filmed confonting borisjohnson during a visit to a hospital earlier today. The Prime Minister was visiting Whipps Cross University hospital in east london when he was challenged by omar salem a labour activist who claimed there were not enough doctors and nurses in place there. The nhs has been destroyed. Its been destroyed, its been destroyed and now you come here for a press opportunity. Well, actually, theres no press here. What you mean, theres no press here . who are these people . the Prime Minister of luxembourg has denied trying to humiliate borisjohnson after he held a press conference without him on monday. Xavier bettel delivered his part of the address to journalists next to an empty podium with a union flag behind it. But speaking to the bbc today, the luxembourg Prime Minister dismissed allegations that it was a deliberate snub and blamed logistical issues. Our europe editor katya adler is in luxembourg this evening. Cathy. You could say why suddenly so cathy. You could say why suddenly so much fuss about tiny luxembourg . When it comes to brexit, luxembourg really does matter. The Prime Minister here has a veto over any new brexit extension and a veto over future eu trade deal so did he set out to humiliate borisjohnson this week . He told me today absolutely not. I am sad about this perception from people to think that i want to humiliate. I have too much respect for the humiliate. I have too much respect forthe uk, humiliate. I have too much respect for the uk, too much respect for the uk citizens and for borisjohnson to think that i prepared this as a trick just to think that i prepared this as a trickjust to have think that i prepared this as a trick just to have five think that i prepared this as a trickjust to have five minutes of popularity. Really . There has been quite some outrage in the uk after Prime Minister bettel following a meeting on monday here in luxembourg with borisjohnson, meeting on monday here in luxembourg with Boris Johnson, decided meeting on monday here in luxembourg with borisjohnson, decided to hold a press conference. Mrjohnson, he holds. Loudly criticising the Brexit Process after the Prime Minister had left the building. You will mentally deny accusations this was a planned ambush. A planned humiliation. You are a very experienced politician. He must have realised how it would look to have an empty podium where the uk Prime Minister should have stood but Boris Johnson wasnt there in order to a nswer johnson wasnt there in order to answer the very emotional criticisms that you had about the Brexit Process. You must have realised how that was going to go down. Do you regret it now looking back on it . Now because it was to have this press statement together. So keen he was to make sure he held the press conference indoors to avoid the noise of the brexit demonstrators that he took me a personal tour of the by ministerial offices. We have no room, to pickjust five or 10 journalists and we will have it with with them would be a problem. Yesterday we even had the United States ambassador to the uk in the argument saying that your treatment of borisjohnson was evidence of why the uk is right to leave the eu. ama the uk is right to leave the eu. am a friend of the united kingdom. The fact that some people have been hurt makes me sad. Lets look at the deal. He did sit here with Boris Johnson, who also sat with Jean Claude Juncker the president of the European Commission, he described the meeting today as friendly and in parts positive. Was that your feeling as well despite the anger outside, inside was constructive conversation with the Prime Minister . It was a perfectly friendly constructive discussion but we had inside but i am waiting for concrete proposals. Time is ticking. He told me plans what could be, ideas, but i cant decide on ideas. It is going to be, i need legally binding texts. Are you going to be able to find a deal by mid october . We will have concrete proposals, i can tell you. I would hope that we are able to have this deal and to have a future relations directly decided and in a few weeks we are able to say they did it. That was katya adler reporting. The time is 16 minutes past six, our top story. A bbc investigation finds thousands of teenagers are living in unregulated homes and face the threat of abuse and exploitation. And, coming up, millions are expected to turn out for the road cycling World Championships in yorkshire this weekend. Coming up on sportsday on bbc news, Manchester City have a defensive crisis on their hands ahead of their Champions League opener in ukraine. But can they bounce back from that defeat in the league at the weekend . The First Court Hearing has taken place in the controversial criminal case against a former british soldier accused of murder over the events of bloody sunday in 1972. Thirteen people were shot dead by soldiers of the parachute regiment at a civil rights demonstration in londonderry. The former paratrooper, known as soldier f, is facing two charges of murder in relation to the killings of james wray and william mckinney, and five charges of attempted murder. Our ireland correspondent emma vardy reports. A moment of reflection in the bogside, a place forever synonymous with one of the darkest days of the troubles. For the families of victims, the possibility a british soldier could face prosecution had once seemed extremely remote. Today, they retraced part of the civil rights march on their way to witness the start of this divisive case. In 1972, the day had begun peacefully. But, after rioting broke out, the parachute regiment opened fire. Soldier f, now in his late 60s, is facing charges for the murders ofjames wray and william mckinney, four charges of attempted murder, and a charge of attempted murder of people unknown. This is a very significant event for us. On ourjourney towards achieving the third and final demand, the prosecution of a soldier for murder and attempted murder on bloody sunday. The man known as soldier f was not required to be in court for this hearing but, nonetheless, the start of these proceedings were watched by a packed public gallery. What does it mean to you to be here today . Its a day when we have campaigned for a7, 48 years nearly, to make somebody accountable for what happened to our relatives. This is the moment it starts. What do you say to those who argue that veterans from the troubles should not be brought back to court years later . People are responsible for their actions. It took us a7, 48 years to arrive here because of the system and the society we lived in. They are no more or less answerable to the law than i am. It was a short procedural hearing and the case has now been adjourned until december. Today was a very symbolic one for families but it may take many months to reach a full trial. The prosecution of former soldiers is strongly opposed by some conservative mps and the British Government is funding soldier fs defence. But the families who lost loved ones on bloody sunday hope their fight forjustice is moving forward. Emma vardy, bbc news, derry. Saudi arabia has displayed evidence which it claims proves that iran was involved in attacks on two of its Oil Facilities over the weekend. Yemens iranian backed Houthi Rebels have said they were behind the attacks. The Saudi Defence minister says 18 drones and seven cruise missiles were fired from a direction that ruled out yemen as a source. Iran has denied involvement and says it would retaliate against any military action. A pensioner has been cleared of murdering her terminally ill 81 year old husband, who died after they both took an overdose at their home in staffordshire. Mavis eccleston, whos 80, sobbed in the dock as the verdict was read out. Sian lloyd reports. A devoted couple, married for 60 years. But Mavis Eccleston was accused of murdering the man she described as the love of her life in a so called mercy killing. It took a jury four hours to clear her of all charges, verdicts welcomed by her family who described the past 18 months as a terrible ordeal. If there had been an assisted dying law in the uk, our dad would have been able to have the choice to end his suffering. He would not have asked our mum to do something that is considered breaking the law. Our dad would have been devastated at the thought of his beloved wife waiting to find out if, at the age of 80, she would face a life sentence in prison simply for respecting his wishes. At their home, the prosecution alleged that Mavis Eccleston had given her husband a potentially lethal dose of prescription medicine in a night time drink, without him knowing. She told the court that they had acted together, that dennis wanted to end his life and she couldnt live without him. She had also taken an overdose and the couple were found unconscious during an unexpected visit from relatives. Following hospital treatment, she survived. A sense of relief for this family, but wider questions will again they are looking forward to getting her home. Sian lloyd, bbc news, Stafford Crown court. The cost of living has risen at its slowest rate for three years. In the year to august, the Consumer Prices index rose by 1. 7 . Thats compared with 2. 1 forjuly. Analysts say the figures were partly driven by a drop in the price of Computer Games. Our economics correspondent andy verityjoins us from central london. Andy, this was quite a surprise. What does it tell us . We were expecting there to be a bit ofa dip we were expecting there to be a bit of a dip in the rise in the cost of living, down to about 1. 9 and instead it was 1. 7 and part of the reason for that was that Computer Games stores, for example, work slashing prices and you can see the deals on offer here. Prices are Computer Games went down by 5 between july and august and Computer Games went down by 5 betweenjuly and august and also other prices rose more slowly. Behind that is a picture of the Global Economic slowdown which has actually relieved some of the upward pressure on prices and you can see that in the price of crude oil which was down by 19 in the year to august. The reason for that is the Global Economic slowdown means there is less Economic Activity than people expected, if you were goods changing countries, and that in turn means the price of oil comes down, Raw Materials costs less bop ma nufa ctu res Raw Materials costs less bop manufactures that feed through to its low price rises in the shops so the economic slowdown, although it might look like a gloomy outlook, has a silver lining. Thank you. Preparations are underway in yorkshire for cyclings road World Championships, which start this weekend. Its the biggest event in the International Road cycling calendar and is being held in the uk for the First Time Since 1982. And its promising to break new ground, with para cycling races and mixed Team Time Trials featuring for the first time. Our sports editor, dan roan, reports. Last weeks tour of britain was the latest reminder of the cyclings popularity in the perfect build up to one of the sports biggest events today your human ben swift found out he will carry his countrys hopes in the prestigious mens road race at his home region host the well tempered chips and in a training ride, he told me how much it meant. Its incredible, you have the Tour De France and the ellerby games but the world temperatures is right up there and if you win that, you get to represent the world jersey for a year the olympic games. And with it being in yorkshire, a0 minutes from where i grew up, i dont think you can quite grasp it until you are in that atmosphere. The key legacy of the event is a £15 Million Investment into closed circuit tracks like this one in doncaster, a template for future facilities across the country at a time when safety concerns are being blamed for a drop in the numbers riding. What success a drop in the numbers riding. What success looks like for us is using this amazing shop window for our sport to inspire as many people as possible, particularly children and young people, so we have that Talent Pipeline for the future, but also people cycling for health and well being. People cycling for health and wellbeing. 1982, the last time britain hosted the event, and rochdales mandy jones britain hosted the event, and rochdales mandyjones becomes World Champion at goodwood. 37 years on, harrogate is the focal point for an event expected to be watched by 3 million spectators. This will be the finishing straight for all the races across 90 days of action but yorkshire will also be making history because, for the first time, it will include a mixed time trial involving teams consisting of both men and women as well as a para cycling event accompanying the main championships. And one paralympic legend competing in the race believes it could be a game changer. Having para believes it could be a game changer. Having pa ra cycling believes it could be a game changer. Having para cycling kicking off the event on a saturday afternoon, prime time opportunity, finishing on the same finish line as everybody else for the rest of the week, that is unique situation and something the para athletes are really looking forward to possible five years ago, unforgettable scenes as yorkshire embraced the start of the Tour De France. Now it will play host once again got its passion for this sport undimmed. Time for a look at the weather. Heres helen willetts. It does not look like the weather will hold until sunday, the fine weather we have had and it has not been fine everywhere either. This was ludlow in the south of uk, we have had a lot of sunshine around but going further northwards, we had cloudy skies in liverpool and northern england, parts of Northern Ireland and scotland, certainly the far north where it has been dank and drizzly with some misty nurse. We will slowly get rid of that because of this weather front which is fairly wea k of this weather front which is fairly weak so as not given much rain and High Pressure will move in and it will rule the roost for the next couple of days but you can see this cloud is starting to melt away. What does that mean with the long nights . Yes, it will be chilly again. Not as cold as last night but temperatures still down to three or 4 temperatures still down to three or a degrees in a few places and the other issue is potentially a fog in Northern Ireland, north west england, it may be the midlands as well and it could be quite thick by the morning. And at this time of year does not clear until nine or ten oclock which means it hits the rush hour traffic because the sun is not Strong Enough so watch out for that tomorrow morning. Otherwise, tomorrow looks to be another fair day, just some cloud in the south, more sunshine in parts of Northern Ireland and northern england, central and southern scotland compared to today but cloudy with some rain in shetland. But warmer as a result of more sunshine and warm again in the south with temperatures up again in the south with temperatures upa degree again in the south with temperatures up a degree or two each day until saturday portable friday, the same problems first thing, mist and fog at dawn but the breeze picks up more so with the south easterly, we could see 23 or 2a around the moray force. Equally warm elsewhere with that sunshine which holds on until saturday. The warmth continues to build later in the day, the potential is that as the winds strengthen, there is a breakdown to thundery showers. A bit of sunshine but not at the weekend, not all of it. Thank you. Thats all from the bbc news at six so its goodbye from me and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbcs news teams where you are. This is bbc news with no rebecca jones.
