A man who was wrongly imprisoned for rape has welcomed a government decision to scrap rules which meant people who had been cleared by the courts could be charged for living costs incurred injail. Andrew malkinson told the bbc the change was a step in the right direction, but said more needed to be done to support people who were wrongly convicted. 0ur correspondent Sarah Campbell has this report. To add insult to injury, the rules, at this point, said he would have to pay back his living costs while wrongly imprisoned. I pay back his living costs while wrongly imprisoned.

Know my stress, nimble concerns about bills and trying to survive and having enough to eat. Just to be liberated in its fullest sense so i can take as much as enjoyment from what is left of life as i possibly can, and i think that is the least they owe me. The very least. The fight to clear his name may be over but the struggle continues to be properly compensated which so catastrophically let him down. Sarah cambell, catastrophically let him down. Sarah campbell. Bbc catastrophically let him down. Sarah campbell, bbc news. Joe inwood is with me in the studio. You spoke to Andrew Malkinson and had a wide ranging interview with him. First of all, you know, he really conveys the sense of, i am owed something. His life back. How did he seem to you when you spoke . I did he seem to you when you spoke . I think the overriding sense you get from speaking to Andrew Malkinson and that is come from the interviews he had done in the build up to this as well asjust quiet he had done in the build up to this as well as just quiet dignity but quiet rage. He said repeatedly he cant ever get back there 17 years. He was about, i think it was in his late 30s and he went into prison and is now in his late 50s and has diabetes. He has missed two of the most, what should be the most fulfilling decade of his life. The chance to have children. The chance to settle down and have a career the world. And he is furious that that was taken away by, sarah said there, the catastrophic failings of the state. And i think what he wants now is just to be able to enjoy the rest of his life. He knows he cannot get those decades back so he wants to be able to enjoy, as he said to me, what is left of life. And able to enjoy, as he said to me, what is left of life. What is left of life. And some eo le what is left of life. And some peeple would what is left of life. And some people would be what is left of life. And some people would be surprised i what is left of life. And some i people would be surprised that, after, you know, everything that happened, and that sense of outrage, he would have to pay for his time in prison. That has been scrapped now but that would be a surprise to many people. It but that would be a surprise to many eole. , but that would be a surprise to many eole. , , people. It was, i remember listening to the original people. It was, i remember listening to the original interview people. It was, i remember listening to the original interview he people. It was, i remember listening to the original interview he did to the original interview he did read that was first announced and i remember a collective sense of sort of shock even among journalists who generally should be well informed about the world, that this was the case. The idea that someone who is wrongly convicted and then has to pay for their legal fees was really a remarkable revelation. Something, i think, we had all missed, putting it bluntly but the other thing is he would have had to pay for his accommodation, that is now gone. He was ill have a long legalfight, sarah was saying there. He has had two years in order to prove once again that he is innocent. The initial conviction was quashed because he proved the conviction was unsafe and now hes got to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he is an innocent man which is really kind of a complete inversion of the normal they are a Justice System works where you got to prove beyond reasonable doubt someone is guilty. He now has to prove beyond reasonable doubt he is innocent in order to get any compensation payment. This was introduced in 2014 and it is very controversial and i was speaking to his lawyer yesterday who there is a reason why virtually no one gets compensation any more because this is such a hard test to prove. But it is another thing that Andrew Malkinson is going to have to go through. 50 it Andrew Malkinson is going to have to no throu~h. , Andrew Malkinson is going to have to uaothrouh. , go through. So it still has some leual go through. So it still has some legal battles go through. So it still has some legal battles to go through. So it still has some legal battles to fight. Go through. So it still has some legal battles to fight. While go through. So it still has some legal battles to fight. While he | go through. So it still has some | legal battles to fight. While he is doing that, but has he said to you about how he is planning to restart his life day to day . Yet the making knows he is not going to be able to start a new career. He said he is doing minimum wagejobs at start a new career. He said he is doing Minimum Wage Jobs at the moment. He is living on a friends sofa and is on benefits. He moment. He is living on a friends sofa and is on benefits. Sofa and is on benefits. He is within a difficult sofa and is on benefits. He is within a difficult financial within a difficult financial position. What you want to do is go travelling. That really came through and he said it clearly. He wants to get out of the uk because he feels so monstrously that is down by the system here. So i think what he is going to be trying to do it to work out how he can afford to do that and i think actually, is a 57 year old with no work history who is coming fresh to the employment market, it is going to be impossible for him. He needs to get this compensation but that a long battle. Than but that a long battle. An extraordinary situation. An extraordinary situation. The former � lost prophets singer and convicted paedophile, ian watkins, has reportedly been stabbed in prison. Newspaper reports say he was attacked at hmp wakefield, where hes serving a 29 year sentence for child sex offences. The Prison Service said police are investigating an incident that happened yesterday. School holidays are a chance to spend more time with the kids but as many parents know keeping them fed all day can be an extra financial strain. The food Charity Fareshare says demand rockets during the summer break and it wants more help from the government to get surplus groceries to those who need it. Emma thomas has been looking into this. Chatter. Theo is two. He and his mom are regulars at spark, a charity run Family Centre in burntwood. Carly gives her time to volunteer at parent groups, but also needs the help of the food and clothes banks. Peace of mind that you know that if you cant afford food at the end of the week, then there are places like this that we can come to and and help ourselves to the donations. Carly works part time, but rising prices mean her wages dont always cover her costs. Its a familiar theme here. 0ne job isnt enough anymore. You have to get more than one job to be able to provide for a Family Orjust for yourself. You want cheese on that . Yes, please. Spark is one of Many Charities which receives Food Donations via the fair share scheme. This Summer School holiday supply isnt meeting demand. People sometimes come into us in tears because theyre in crisis and theyjust dont know where to turn. Its people who are working and cannot afford to make ends meet through the cost of living, through the bills and feeding children through the holidays. Fair share redistributes a million meals worth of surplus food each month. Theyre lobbying the government for investment to improve supply chains. Theres probably about 3 million more tins of food that we could access and then redistribute to people who need it the most. Those 3 Million Tonnes of food could contribute to about 7 billion meals, so the opportunity for more food is absolutely massive. Food inflation rates have slowed in recent weeks. However, the cost of filling a Family Fridge remains still far more expensive than during the last School Summer holidays. In fact, according to the british retail consortium, the average prices in shops are now 7. 6 higher. These vegetables have a journey yet ahead via a charity somewhere in the midlands to the plates of a family needing fresh nutrition. Theyre a crack team of medics who can reach any location in london within 11 minutes last year they attended nearly 2000 incidents and theyre funded by charitable donations. But whats a typical shift like for the London Air Ambulance . 0ur Correspondent Karl Mercerjoined the team to find out. Radio comms. Its a job where every minute counts, whether theyre in the well known red helicopter. We are en route, eta 15 minutes, 1 5 minutes. Or in the less well known cars they use at night or when the helicopter� s not flying. Its about getting to some of londons most severely injured patients as quickly as possible. Here, we have a sort of full, effectively Critical Care unit in the back of the ambulance, but we cant carry all of it at once. So we start, you know, start deciding and rationalising what were going to take. Theyve been called to a car crash, a young man in need of help. A patient climbed out of the car, fell over, struck his head, had a brief cardiac arrest. That means his heart stopped. He stopped breathing. When they arrived, they take over, helped by the crews already there. Hes gone into the back of someone . We bring extra kits, we bring extra skills. We bring some leadership and direction and guidance. And its a little bit like a relay race or, you know, a chain. And were just another link in the chain. Guys, weve been called to assist one of our advanced paramedic colleagues. The shift before were out with rob and lindsey in the car called to a man with a badly broken leg. Im just going to have a look at you and were going to sort your leg out. And taking high level Hospital Skills to treat people at the roadside. Lets sort his leg out and then. Hes got a nasty fracture to his right leg, which is angulated. So we need to give him some strong pain relief and sedation. Radio comms. Their next call is to a young woman whos stopped breathing. They need to get there quickly but safely. We arent going to discuss clinical information about the job so lindsay isnt distracted by while shes driving. And so our our focus now is to just navigate there effectively and safely. So shes currently unconscious with really ineffective breathing. So we need to support that by putting a tube into her lungs and giving some special medications that only we carry to try and help correct the problem with her asthma, which is causing very severe narrowing of her airways. So were going to go and do that quite quickly now. All right . They stabilise the patient whos then transferred to an ambulance and taken to hospital. Robbie in the ambulance, lindsay following and with the patient delivered, her work continues. So we just had to give that young lady an anesthetic outside the house. So right now, i need to make sure that all our equipment is back where it should be and also restock the bags to make sure that we have enough to hand if we were to have to do another anesthetic. And as they clear up, time for a debrief with London Ambulance colleagues an important part of everyjob they do. These jobs are quite stressful. We see a lot of these intense jobs with our daily work. Thats what were here for. But the Ambulance Service crews may only see one or two jobs like that a year, so theres a lot going on that can be quite intense. So its important to allow people to talk about the job, how theyre feeling. But also theres always lots of really good clinical learning. As night falls, amar and kevin take over in the cars. Theyre off to east london. A car crash with lots of resources sent. A man has been hit by a car. They take control at the scene, able to give the patient stronger drugs than the other medical teams. They stabilise him, then take him to the nearest major trauma hospital. In cases like this, when they could have very significant internal injuries, its about providing stable and stabilising the patients and the roadside, but also getting the patient to these specialist centresl as soon as possible. So thats our aim now with the patient. Definitely doing a lot betterl than when we first saw him. And its all about getting to the hospital, getting i the patient to hospital now. So patients fortunately remained quite and stable en route. Main priority for me has been pain relief, trying to keep them as comfortable as possible with some nasty injuries. Another patient cared for one of nearly 2,000 that londons air ambulance saw last year, a record number. One of the challenges of the job is making sure that youre always ready to be sent on what could be the worstjob and the biggestjob that youve ever had to deal with and will ever have to deal with. And tomorrow, theyll do it all again. Here in the uk the plan to house Asylum Seekers on a boat is moving ahead. The immigration minister, robertjenrick, says the first group of Asylum Seekers will be moved to the bibby stockholm barge, in dorset, in the coming days. Social Media Companies are also set to crack down on posts by People Smugglers that encourage Asylum Seekers to cross the english channel. Platforms like facebook and tiktok will work with the National Crime agency to take down messages that lure people into paying gangs to make the dangerous voyage in small boats. Earlier, i spoke to our political correspondentjonathan blake and started by asking him how the social media crackdown on People Smugglers would work. Its been described as a voluntary partnership between the government and the big social media firms, so x, formerly known as twitter, meta that owns facebook and instagram, and tiktok as well. And the idea being that they will work alongside the National Crime agency to not only find and remove posts which are in some cases offering special offers, discounts or fake documents for people to cross the channel in small boats, but also discourage people and guide them away from that sort of material, presenting it as perhaps disinformation or inappropriate in the way that certain content around extremism, for example, or eating disorders is also managed. Some of this work is already going on, and it seems its just an effort, really, by the government to get these companies on board and redouble their efforts alongside those at the National Crime agency and the home office and elsewhere to attempt to target posts on social media, which are one big way in which people are finding themselves smuggled across the channel, in a trade which the prime minister, rishi sunak, has described as vile and is, of course, the scourge of ministers who have vowed to crack down on it. And indeed its one of the prime ministers five priorities to stop the boats, as he puts it, but large numbers of people continue to come to the uk illegally in that way. England have missed out on a historic first Netball World Cup title with a 61 45 loss to australia. Now, the final was in cape town and the wheels, unfortunately, fell for england in the final period. They wanted to finish a different way but australia were relentless and they were not going to let this go. They have been gunning for this since 2019, said Thatis Gunning for this since 2019, said that is the result of that. Australia has one that world netball trophy. Its been a soggy summer so far, which, for most of us, might mean a cancelled barbeque or a damp camping trip. For many farmers, however, its much more serious as the persistent Rain Delays Harvests and damages crops. Jo makel has spent the day on a farm in East Yorkshire to find out more. When your whole year has been building up to the harvest, this is not what you want to see gaps in the fields where the driving wind and rain has flattened the wheat, and its simply been too wet to work. So, richard, just how far behind are you . Well, its august three now and wed normally be a quarter to halfway through our winter wheat. But not only that, weve got the Spring Barley and our oilseed rape still to harvest. Everything is still looking at us in the field. And looking more closely, you can see the damage to the crop. So, the grain within the ears is sprouting. So, that is very, very bad news for us. And it looks quite soft and mushy. Soft and mushy and rotting, it will be doing now, so and the quality is gone now. And you can just squeeze the water out of it, cant you . Yes, you can. This shed should be at least half full of grain by now and even when its here, therell be an extra cost to dry it out so its ready to sell. Economically, we shall lose money on the quality of the wheat. The yields will go down. And so, our return wont be as great. But also, then, weve got the added cost of the fuel and electricity with the drying. The weather is, of course, a part of farming but the extremes the drought last year, a wash out this just adds to the pressures on the industry and those in it. Weve got a lot of issues going along around brexit. Obviously, imports are coming into this country, grown and produced to lower standards than we produce. And then, of course, we have the weather and the stress from that, and farming is not an easy time and not an easy industry to be in at The Best Of Times and so, when you have these stresses and strains, you really need to have a lot of people and support around you to sort of share the burden of that mental stress. Its all still in the field rotting away. Chuckles. I mean, youre laughing but, you know, this is your business. It is, yeah. Yeah, i mean, its it is high stakes, you know . Its all our income is concentrated into this period of harvesting and it is a worrying time. More now on the world cup. The Knockout Stages are well and truly under way, after the United States long reign as champions was brought to an end in dramatic fashion as they were dumped out by swedenjoining The Netherlands in the next round. Tomorrow morning it will be the turn of england who face nigeria in brisbane at 8. 30am, in their last sixteen tie looking to book their spot in the quarter finals. Mimi fawaz has been looking at what lies ahead for the lionesses when they face their opponents. England will be facing Nigeria On Monday and lets take a look at their opponents. Nigeria were the first african team to book their spot into the Knockout Stages, and they did so by not losing any of their games in the group stages. They played out two goalless draws, one against the olympic champions canada, and against the Republic Of Ireland was the other result that ended up with no goals. They did get that shock win against the Co Host Australia in the group stages. Nigeria, of course, will be hoping that they can better their record. In 1999, when they reached the quarterfinals of the womens world cup. So, who are some of the nigerian stars to look out for . One of them is, of course, asisat 0shoala, the african female footballer of the year. She scored 26 goals in competitions last season and, as well, she is the first african player to score in three separate world cups. He came on as a substitute in that shock win against the Co Host Australia in the group stages and, of course, she got that winner in that match. So who are some of the other standout stars for nigeria, for england to watch out for . One of them is the nigerian goalkeeper chiamaka nnadozie. She got Player Of The Match in a goalless draw against the olympic champions in the opening game. She saved a crucial penalty in that match and we see she received a lot of praise in her performances so far in the group stages. Another one is toni payne, many Football Fans might have been describing as the Midfield Maestro and tactically very strong. She of course has influenced Build Up Play in the group stages for nigeria. Youll be surprised to maybe know that nigeria has faced england on three previous occasions. England getting the win over nigeria at the first time that they met and The Other Two times, nigeria getting the advantage over england. So, the european champions, england, come out victorious on monday . Or will the nine times African Champions nigeria come out victorious this time around . Video of the moment a man was rescued from a small boat off the coast of florida in the us has been released. And as you can see the boat he was in was partially submerged bobbing up and down in waves when the us coastguard got to him about 12 miles from the coast. The vessel was around three and half metres long. The Rescue Operation was launched after his family contacted officials when the experienced boater failed to return after night fell. Other than being severely sunburnt Officials Say he didnt sustain any serious injuries. A lucky escape there. Lets go back to that breaking news england have lost their first ever Netball World Cup final. They were beaten 61 45 by the now twelve time champions, australia, whod suffered a narrow defeat to england earlier in the tournament. International netball player. What is the reaction to this . Very disappointing for england but they will be taking something away from all of this . , ~ all of this . 0h, definitely. Ithink is a previous all of this . 0h, definitely. Ithink is a previous english all of this . 0h, definitely. Ithink is a previous english rose all of this . 0h, definitely. Ithinkl is a previous english rose anything definitely proud of what the team have achieved in the past week. They put out some Great Performances and on the day to day, the australia just had an absolutely great game in the final. Not taking away what england have achieved in the past week or so. It is the furthest any england team has made it in a world cup so they have done a greatjob is just the final hurdle, australia were just too good on the day. What were ust too good on the day. What does were just too good on the day. What does this mean were just too good on the day. What does this mean for were just too good on the day. What does this mean for australia . They are to winning but was there Something Special about this one . Ashley was speaking to us at the bbc and said she could not have asked for a better ending to her career. Yeah, i think, for a better ending to her career. Yeah, ithink, australia have for a better ending to her career. Yeah, i think, australia have a few players going out and going out on a high. Just when it mattered in that Third Quarter, australia turned the screw and played a very clinical, that at the game and were very clinical. England couldnt keep up. Never tab it was a goal for goal and in that Third Quarter which we tend to call a championship quarter, australia away. The Pressure Australia away. The Pressure Australia put on in the first half was great and all throughout the game and i think, yeah, england ran out of steam in the end but they will be grateful and i am incredibly proud of what they have achieved in this last week. This last week. What lessons do you think england this last week. What lessons do you think england will this last week. What lessons do you think england will be this last week. What lessons do you think england will be learning this last week. What lessons do you think england will be learning from | think england will be learning from this obviously after the has been time to process all of the emotions and everything that comes after the game . Get their mac yeah, they will have learnt a lot. They managed to beat the world Number One World number two throughout the tournament and shown great resilience. I think it meant a lot and shown great resilience. I think it meant a lot tactically. And shown great resilience. I think it meant a lot tactically. Australia | it meant a lot tactically. Australia got beaten by england in the last round and brought a different game plan to today so england can go away knowing that they are, i think, they have come on Leaps And Bounds over the like, five to ten years that england are competing now and championship sewer i think will give them confidence moving forward and we have now made a final and the world cup and hopefully the current generation and next generation can take a lot of confidence from that and hopefully, yeah, can keep pushing.

The roses today but theyve already made history in south africa. Thank you very much. Rachel is a former English International netball player. Hello there. There have been some hefty showers around today, but on the whole it has been a drier, brighter and calmer day than yesterday was, because storm antoni, this swirl of cloud here, has been easing the way eastwards. Clearer skies following on behind, albeit with a speckling of shower cloud. Most of those showers fading as we go through the evening and the night. Some will continue across parts of scotland, maybe coastal parts of Northern Ireland and north west england, but otherwise dry it with clear skies, the odd mist patch, and actually quite a chilly night for the time of year, 6 degrees in aberdeen, 9 in birmingham and cardiff in some spots in the countryside will get a little chillier than that. So, a fresh start to monday morning, but under this ridge of high pressure, a largely dry and bright start, some spells of sunshine around. We will see some showers popping up through the day, but they shouldnt be quite as many as there have been today. But this Weather System Running in from the west will eventually bring more cloud into far South West Of England and the far south west of wales, misty murky conditions developing and some rain very late in the day. Temperatures 16 21 in most places. Through monday night this Frontal System pushes eastwards, taking cloud and some rain with it, not a huge amount of rain but there certainly will be submitted into murky conditions for coasts and hills, whereas for Northern Ireland and scotland, mainly dry, fine and sunny, albeit with cooler breeze in scotland, 13 for lerwick and even further south, 19 or 20. As we move into wednesday, some increasingly humid air spreading from the west that will give rise to some sea fog, some fog over the hills as well, some areas of cloud, sunny spells, but temperatures beginning to climb, and that process will continue into thursday. High pressure will be to the east of us, low pressure trying to come in from the west, and that will bring us a flow of wind from the south, bringing some warmer air across oui shores. You can see the orange colours spreading across the Temperature Chart for thursday. Quite widely we will be in the middle 20s celsius, some places could get to 27 or 28. But it may not last that long, we will see more unsettled and cooler weather returning as we head towards the weekend. Live from london.
