Process is gone through now. Labour said the exact allegations of the nature of the details that carl sa rg ea nt nature of the details that Carl Sargeant and his family were looking for when not going to be forthcoming for when not going to be forthcoming for quite some time. Under the rule book of the labour party, when allegations of a sexual nature are made, both parties need to provide written statements and then the accused received the exact nature of the allegations so that was going to come in time. There have been questions about the first ministers conduct in all of this, for example why the labour party initiated this independent inquiry last friday after he was sacked from the Welsh Government and the labour party initiated that, why then did carwyn jones on monday of this week to a round of interviews in which he spoke about those allegations. The familys solicitor had accused him of prejudicing the inquiry by giving those interviews. The Welsh Assembly said its important the first minister answers to questions. He said there has been some inaccuracy in the media, that will come out as the process goes under way, but that they should let things take their course. Its been a tough time for the Welsh Government, the first minister and the family of course. Hes been under a lot of pressure, many thought he would step down and its been an easy ride for carwyn jones so far, this has been his greatest test, and from the statement he issued this afternoon he continues to serve as first minister and he once this process to be seen through properly now. Many thanks for the latest and there will be more later on, we know. Today at five. The second Cabinet Reshuffle in the space of a week, children as young as nine are among the thousands being referred to the governments anti radicalisation programme. The Actor Kevin Spacey will be edited out of a hollywood movie, due for release within weeks, following more allegations of sexual assault. Welcome to bbc news 24. And on its 20th birthday, the bbc news channel looks back to news 24. Well be talking to the man who launched it. Its 5. 00pm. Our main story is the limited Cabinet Reshuffle the second in the space of a week forced on the Prime Minister. Shes promoted Penny Mordaunt to the cabinet to become International Development secretary replacing priti patel, who resigned last night after admitting a series of unauthorised meetings with senior israelis. Penny mordaunt was a minister in the work and Pensions Department and, like priti patel, she had campaigned for brexit in last years referendum and her appointment maintains the balance between leavers and remainers in the cabinet. 0ur Political Correspondent reports from westminster. Another day, another new face in government. Penny mordaunt propelled into the job of International Development secretary after priti patels fall from grace. A leave supporter, like her predecessor, with ministerial experience, Penny Mordaunts appointment retains the delicate balance in theresa mays cabinet. I think it is a good appointment. Penny is somebody who has a lot of experience. Shes worked in an International Department before as an armed forces minister. Shes very capable and ive no doubt she will do an excellentjob. This clean up forced on the Prime Minister after a chaotic week with two senior ministers forced to resign within days. Now theres pressure on theresa may to get her Government Back on track. Reporter morning, mr davis. A bit early for that. How damaging is all this for the government . As the rest of her cab. Net, like the brexit secretary and fresh faces like the new chief whip, try to get on with theirjobs. In the end, priti patel had to go, out after admitting shed failed to tell the Prime Minister about all her secret meetings with israeli politicians. In her Resignation Letter the now former International Development secretary said. My actions fell below the standards of transparency and openness that ive promoted and advocated. I offer a fulsome apology to you and the government. Theresa may told miss patel. When we met on monday i was glad to accept your apology, but now that further details have come to light, its right that you have decided to resign. The cabinet had been carefully composed of brexiteers and remainers, men and women. This morning there was sympathy for some for the former secretary of state, but the focus now is on whether her replacement can bring stability back to theresa mays top team. Leila nathoo, bbc news, westminster. 0ur Political Correspondent, vicki young, is in downing street. Before we come on to the wider scene is, will this make any difference to the way that International Development is run . |i the way that International Development is run . I think that is unlikely. Penny mordaunt, unlike many of her predecessors has experience in this field, but i think the real question about the International Aid budget has always beenin International Aid budget has always been in law of course 0. 7 of the output of the british economy has to be spent on overseas aid and in some quarters that isnt popular. There is no suggestion that Penny Mordaunt is no suggestion that Penny Mordaunt is likely to try to change any of that in anyway. What priti patel was working on was trying to make it an efficient process, that money was going to the most deserving to the right places. Im sure Penny Mordaunt will continue in that vain. Let us look at the government itself. We have talked a lot about the balance within cabinet. What do you make of today . What has changed then well, i think in many ways what theresa may has done here is to keep this as limited ed as possible. In the broader spectrum, really, shes replaced like with like. She kept the gender balance in the cabinet, which theresa may feels strongly about. 0n which theresa may feels strongly about. On that crucial issue of course of brexit, that delicate balance between those on the leave and those on the remain side of the referendum campaign, it stays the same. I think that is important, certainly for many conservative mps who felt priti patel was a strong voice, voicing what they believe will feel they have that to a certain extent with Penny Mordaunt. Theresa may with other ministers under investigation after accusations of bad behaviour, she will be hoping that this is the last Cabinet Reshuffle or move that is forced upon her because, dont forget, this is the second cabinet minister in one week that she has lost. She will want to look towards the brexit talks and in two weeks timea the brexit talks and in two weeks time a budget. Thank you very much. While westminster is gripped by the events of the past 2a hours, the latest round of brexit negotiaitons is getting under way in brussels. Its the sixth time that uk and eu officials have come together to try to make some progress and, as ever, its the financial settlement that is proving to be one of the main sticking points. The so called divorce payment. The eu has warned that the talks cant move to the next phase without an agreement on money. The brexit secretary david davis and the eus chief negotiator Michel Barnier willjoin the negotiations tomorrow. 0ur correspondent, damian grammaticas, is in brussels. 0n the latest evidence or lack of it things are moving forward . Huw, from what we can see, what we can tell, not moving very far at all. If you look at the facts, instead of a week of negotiations, as weve had on many of the weeks before, weve had a day today and then the Michel Barnier and david davis will turn up tomorrow. They have not been here today. They were taking part at the start of the negotiations in many of the previous rounds. All of that signals the fact that the two sides have very little at the minute around which they really feel they can focus their negotiations. They are talking about having technical talks today. That is different from the sort of big substantial points which are the things that are outstanding now. The technical talks can only get them so far. The big issues, money, and the eu want the uk to spell out what it will commit to in uk to spell out what it will commit toina uk to spell out what it will commit to in a financial settlement and issues on Citizens Rights as well. The legal guarantees and the like. The legal guarantees and the like. The dynamics of these talks, now that we know that tomorrow they will bejoined by mr barnier and david davis. To what extent is any momentum now down to these two individuals or are the teams around them the ones trying to settle this technical detail . Huw, if you listen to what eu sources are say, they say that the difficulty, or the issue is not here. They view the issue as being a political one in the uk and that they feel that the reason the talks are not moving political decisions in the uk have not been made about how far to go, like the financial settlement, which is why progress isnt being made here. The eu signalling it needs or wants a nswe is eu signalling it needs or wants a nswers fairly eu signalling it needs or wants answers fairly quickly. It means two to three weeks, by the end of november, if this process is going to start to show positive signs in the eus view, which would enable the eus view, which would enable the leaders of eu countries, the 27 other leaders to say at their nexting summit in december that they will roll the talks forward into the next phase. That is the transition, the outlines of a future deal. But that a phase and that decision wont happen unless we get movement here. The present signs are there has been nothing to shift things forward. Thank you very much. That was the latest there in brussels. Thousands of children and teenagers have been flagged up to the governments anti Terror Programme in the past year according to the First Official figures. The prevent programme aims to reduce the threat to the uk by stopping people being drawn into terrorism. In total more than 7,000 were referred a quarter of them were under the age of 15. In one case a nine year old boy from london was helped by the prevent programme after he stood up in class and said he supported so called islamic state. It turned out he had been watching their propaganda online. Sima kotecha reports. Preventing terror attacks is a top priority for the government, that is why it has something called channel, a programme designed to stop people being drawn into violent or extremist behaviour. The extreme right wing will use inler missed narratives. I try to work holistic way to understand the individual, to see how i can best help them, not only with an ideological risk or vulnerability but also understanding their particular personal circumstances so we can identify what the challenges are, what the susceptibilities are and improve that persons opportunity, potentially getting them into education, employment, these kind of areas. Todays figures show over the last year more than 7,000 people were put forward for help after showing signs of extremism. More than 1,000 of them were assessed for inclusion in the programme. Almost 400 then received specialist support, but 63 of them stopped cooperating. The programme is voluntary and those who were referred to it are under no obligation to engage. A lot of youngsters are being radicalised as well due to their vulnerability to drugs. A charity based in birmingham and partly funded by the home office reaches two men outside mosques. Fake drugs are displayed on a stall. We want people to come here and talk to is about vulnerabilities they might have which might be radicalisation or homelessness or drug dependency and that is something we are trying to reach out to them to get help. Channel hasnt been without its critics, there are some who argue it targets particular communities and create suspicion around them. There are also questions about how effective it really is and how those who were put through the programme are later monitored. And there are serious concerns about what happens to those who refuse help. The good news from the figures today is that over 350 people who were really on track to be violent extremists and terrorists etc have been diverted away from that cause. Course. That means we are safer as a result. The uk threat level remains at severe and that means the effectiveness of the government s counterterrorism strategy is crucial. This is bbc news at five, the headlines Penny Mordaunt has been appointed as the new International Development secretary. She replaces priti patel who resigned last night over undeclared meetings with israeli officials.

It was a very different world, just 8 Million People had access to the internet in the uk in 1997, today its more than 60 million. Nick higham reports on two decades of news on demand. Hello and welcome for the first to bbc news 24. Im gavin esler. And im sarah montague. November 9th, 1997, and bbc news 24 goes on air. For the first time bbc viewers didnt have to wait for the news at six or nine. It was available on tap. I was hoping it would just become something people would turn on when they wanted to know the news. Why should we tell them when they had to sit down and watch the news . I thought it would be a true utility and therefore, once wed started, it would never go off air. Was that what happened . It went off air almost immediately because of technical difficulties the computers didnt work. The pictures turning the black, the wrong picture coming up, us having to explain why it was happening. It took time, but they did overcome the technical problems. You may have heard that air france. Jane hill, the only original presenter still on the channel, remembers the day it came of age, when an air france concorde crashed in paris, injuly 2000. That story was so big, it was the first time that we were simulcast, and the channel ran on bbc one or bbc two, because the controllers of those big National Channels took the view this was such a big, unexpected story, the audience appetite wanted to watch that story unfold. We have some remarkable pictures coming in from new york, which we can go to now. Since then, the channel has covered many major stories. Some breaking news. Reports are just coming in of an explosion at Liverpool Street station here in london. London fire brigade has confirmed they are dealing with this serious fire in a tower block at latimer road, in west london. The british people have spoken and the answer is, were ou
