Welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe. The american Entertainer Bill Cosby has had his conviction for sexual assault overturned by the Supreme Court Of Pennsylvania. He is 83 now, and has served more than two years of his sentence at a State Prison near philadelphia. He had originally been found guilty of drugging and molesting a woman in 200a. Dozens of other women had also publicly accused him of sexual assault, though no further action was taken against him. This is the moment Bill Cosby left prison a free man. He had served two years of a 3 10 year sentence. His Fall From Grace was sealed in 2018 after he was found guilty of three counts of sexual assault for drugging and molesting Andrea Constand in 200a. But in a stunning reversal, pennsylvanias highest court said the entertainer should never have been charged. In the split ruling, judges wrote that the Trial Shouldnt have gone ahead because of an immunity Deal Mr Cosby had struck with a previous prosecutor. He cant be retried. Hejust said his heart was racing. He couldnt believe it. He said they was ringing his cell, they were just knocking on the walls, the inmates. He said they said, look, youre free, Get Up Get Up and he was like, what are these guys talking about . Gloria allred who represented 30 of Bill Cosby� S Accusers said Bill Cosby became known as Americas Dad for his role as Cliff Huxtable in the 1980s Hit Sitcom the cosby show. His conviction was seen as proof that even when the accused is one of the most famous people in the World, the voices of the victims of sexual assault could be heard in the us justice system. Now, he has a chance to restore his reputation. Michelle fleury, bbc news, pennsylvania. Earlier i spoke to michelle thomas, a Divorce And Trial lawyer and asked her what she made of the courts decision. It was defintely unexpected. I dont think any of us expected Mr Cosby to walk free today, but the supreme court had to balance his constitutional rights, and the fact that Mr Cosby waived his fifth amendment constitutional right against self incrimination, with the Belief And Expectation that criminal charges would not be brought against him, and that is what the supreme court focused on the fact that this case should never have been brought in the first place because of the deal that he entered into with the initial prosecutor. And it was inherently unfair, which is what the court focused on fairness. For the second prosecutor in 2015 to bring these charges back in, to unseal the Deposition Transcript that is the crux of this issue. How unusual is this . This is getting a lot of attention obviously because of the profile that Bill Cosby has, but is this unusual for a court to do something like this . It is not unusual for a supreme court to focus in on the constitutional issues and whether they have been violated. In a case like this, Mr Cosby� s decision to waive his fifth Amendment Right against self incrimination, and then have the basis on which he waived it overturned and used against him for criminal charges, that is unusual i believe. It dont think thats very common, so the supreme court had to do exactly what it did, which was balanced the fact that there are certainly alleged victims in this case, and it didnt reach the point Ofcompletely Vindicating or addressing the actual allegations, but it focused on the constitution, and thats what has to happen in a case like this. When a right has been violated, that is what you would expect the court to do. When a right has been violated, that is what you would expect the court to do. What happens when the substantive issues in the case itself, is this The End of the legal line . Is this case closed, matter over . Here is the thing certainly the prosecution, they could file motions to reconsider. They could try to repeal the case, but given that the Supreme Court Of Pennsylvania issued the 79 Page Opinion which was well thought out, well articulated, the odds of the prosecutor filing a motion to reconsider and prevail on it is probably pretty low, so the expectation they are going to do that is probably pretty unlikely. So, with respect to this particular case, this is probably the End Of The Road for the prosecution, but it remains to be seen. At the moment, it would appear to be End Of The Road and Mr Cosby as a free man at this time.

Canada is marking its national day on thursday, the celebrations have been overshadowed by the discovery of more indigenous graves and a former Residential School Run by the catholic church. The latest discovery involves more than 180 Unmarked Graves believed to contain the remains of children aged 7 13. A century old church in alberta destroyed. Thats sad. It is one of several catholic churches that have been targeted over the past month after hundreds of Unmarked Graves were found at residential schools previously run by the catholic church. The First Minister of alberta visited the church and released this video. We cannot accept, under any circumstances, hateful acts of violence targeting faith communities in this providence. For 165 years up until the 1990s, more than 150,000 indigenous children were forced into residential schools like this under the canadas assimilation policies. Abuse was rife and thousands of children died of disease, neglect, and other causes. The latest discovery as the third such find on a former School Site in a month, and prime Minister Justin trudeau acknowledged that some canadians may not feel like celebrating the countrys national day. 0n the eve of canada day, the horrific discovery of hundreds of children at the sites of former residential schools in bc and in saskatchewan have forced us to reflect upon the historic and ongoing injustices that indigenous people have faced. A delegation of indigenous canadians, including school students, has been invited to the vatican in december to meet with pope francis, but Prime Minister trudeau, himself a catholic, says any papal apology should take place on canadian soil. Courtney bembridge, bbc news. The canadian town that Saw Record temperatures earlier this week has been evacuated because of a fast moving wildfires. Hundreds of residents have been told to leave the town in British Columbia. The local mayor told canadian Media the whole town is on fire, it comes after three days of record breaking temperatures there, reaching more than 49 celsius on tuesday. Across the border in the United States, president Joe Biden has warned that the western part of america is facing more dangerfrom facing more danger from wildfires facing more dangerfrom wildfires than ever before. 0ur Science Editor reports. A sign of trouble in a World thats getting hotter an Emergency Cooling Centre in a region that normally never needs one. The western United States and canada are experiencing heat theyre just not used to. I think its incredibly important that we set up these spaces so people can come in, feel taken care of, feel safe, get cool and get some water and a bite to eat if they need it. You know, the hotels seems to be sold out as well because people are running away. They need to go somewhere cool with ac. Its just unbearable. Its impossible to be out. Its most dangerous for the homeless. Helping them with Shade And Water is essential. In canada, which is famous for its cold, the heatwave has been blamed for more than 100 deaths. Its the elderly, who are less able to regulate their body temperature, who are most vulnerable. Whether you have Heart Or Breathing problems, or even if youre an elderly person, sometimes you just dont cope quite as well in the heat and sun. And the hotter it gets, the more wildfires are likely to start. This one was filmed in california a few days ago. President biden has warned that the rising temperatures bring all kinds of dangers. The extreme heat were seeing in the west is not only a Risk Amplifier for wildfires, its a threat in and of itself. People are hurting. Its more dangerous for kids to play outside. Roads are buckling under the heat, and again, i need not tell all of you. So, whats causing this heat . Well, theres a vast dome of High Pressure above western canada. Its like a lid in the atmosphere, trapping warm air and pushing it down where it gets even hotter. And the heat is held in place by the path of the jet stream, so temperatures have kept climbing. And this is really unusual. The Dark Red Area is far warmer than average. And scientists say that its human activity, the burning of fossil fuels, thats made this far more likely. Our analysis of the temperatures that were seeing in the western side of North America just wouldnt have been feasible in the natural course of events. Weve analysed the climate that you would expect without emissions of greenhouse gases, and you just dont see these sorts of extraordinary temperatures that were seeing at the moment. The next big worry is farmland, and whether crops will survive the punishing temperatures. The Heatwave Wont last forever, but it is a reminder of what Climate Change can really mean.

Donald rumsfeld, one of the principal architects of the invasion of iraq in 2003 has died at the age of 88. He served as secretary of defence under George W Bush, and his role in the War On Terror has been criticised by many. 0ur Editor has more. Military band plays Donald Rumsfeld served four president s over five decades. Hawkish in outlook, and a waspish personality, he was a key architect of Americas Response to 9 11 the invasion of afghanistan and, most controversially, the invasion of iraq. A Navy Pilot in the 1950s, rumsfeld later became an illinois congressman. Richard nixon and Henry Kissinger saw in him a Cold Ruthlessness and gave him a job in cabinet. A strong Defence Posture gives weight to our values and our views in international negotiations. In 1975 under gerald ford, he became the youngest ever defence secretary. Ronald reagan sent him to the middle east, where he met saddam hussein, the leader hed one Day Help to overthrow. Im submitting the name of Donald Rumsfeld to be secretary of defence. Nearly 20 years later, George W Bush reappointed him defence secretary. Within months, america came under attack. Rumsfeld was in his Pentagon Office on september 11, 2001 when an airliner hit the building. He helped move the injured and then planned a way to strike back. Rumsfeld believed the Iraq War would be over quickly, but there was no plan for building a peace. A fierce insurrection followed that claimed thousands of lives. And the pretext for the invasion saddams weapons of mass destruction. But none were ever found. And rumsfeld struggled to explain why. There are known knowns. There are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we now know we dont know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we do not know we dont know. In this so called War On Terror, he was prepared to push boundaries, including the treatment of suspected militants. But when these photographs of the brutalisation of iraqi prisoners appeared, there was a backlash. These events occurred on my watch. I am accountable for them and i take full responsibility. The scandal damaged him, and with his Iraq Strategy increasingly questioned, he resigned in 2006. Donald rumsfeld was a neo con, a man who believed american power could be used to spread democracy. He was never short of critics, but until The End he remained steadfast in his belief that hed acted in americas best interests.

It doesnt look all that impressive. A collection of words and symbols that would seem pretty meaningless to most people, but these are no ordinary words and symbols. They did, in fact, change everything. This is the Source Code for the World wide web. In effect, the basic rules of how the modern internet works. Devised by the british scientist sir tim berners lee, it has now been sold as a completely unique form of data. The owner of this work will absolutely, fundamentally be buying something that has come from sir tim, has been authenticated as being from sir tim, but equally is uniquely their own, and of course their ownership will be recorded in the Block Chain as well. Have you read it . Laughter. Sir tim wrote the original Source Code in 1989, revolutionising the way computers and people interacted with Each Other, creating a system that was patent free, royalty free, and designed to be collaborative. I wanted something that was both a way of Tracking Information but also a form of communication, so one of the goals was i could use it to collaborate with people i worked with. Some have criticised non fungible tokens as get rich quick schemes that are bad for the environment, but at least one bidder who forked out more than 5 Million thinks this one is worth every penny. Tim allman, bbc news. Prince william and Prince Harry will come together to unveil a statue of their mother, princess of wales, on what would have been her 60th birthday on thursday. Despite the appearance of unity, questions remain about the state of their relationship, as our royal correspondent reports. Oh, my god. Get this on camera. You forgot your boots oh, my god. Theyd been so close. It seemed an unbreakable bond. He is the one person on this earth who i can actually, really, you know, we can talk about anything and we understand Each Other and we give Each Other support. We get along, you know, really well, harry and i, we are a very close family. There are disagreements, obviously, as all families do. And when there are, they are big disagreements. You know, were stuck together for the rest of our lives, so. Laughter their easy displays of Fun And Affection with their mother captivated the public. In her love for her sons open and on show. Tessy 0jo has worked with William And Harry on protecting Dianas Memory and sees a statue as an emotional and significant moment. I think this statue is another form of legacy, it is celebrating everything that she stood for for the 36 years that she lived. It will capture the thoughts of her sons around her, and i think that will be hugely. That will be so meaningful. They were brothers whod shared a grief and a recovery, but the bonds of the past are now broken, with conflicts over meghan, staff, public life and future direction. 0ur British Royal Family is not supposed to be a perfect family. If, somehow, out of this split comes some sort of reconciliation, that will presumably hold a lesson for all of us. The problem is that reconciliation is proving hard to reach. The unveiling of their Mothers Statue here tomorrow will publicly see a United Front from William And Harry, but, privately, sources say there is still deep Upset And Mistrust and that close connection, for now, has gone. For more than 45 years, Arthur Edwards has photographed royalty. From behind the lens, he has seen it all. Diana loved the camera, she always knew where i was. For him, there will be genuine sadness tomorrow. Well, lets put it this way, daniela. If this unveiling doesnt break the ice between them, nothing will, i dont think. I mean, this is so important. They should perhaps shake hands orjust say something lovely to Each Other, that would be nice. But, you know, dont hold your breath. This afternoon, harry, back in the uk, was a Surprise Guest at a Charity Garden Party with seriously ill children, just the type of event his mother would have supported. Dianas influence on the modern Royal Family remains. Tomorrow, could the unveiling of her Statue Help heal the relationship between her sons . Daniela relph, bbc news, kensington palace.

The first couple of days ofjuly look pretty similar to how we ended the Month Ofjune on, and thats with quite a lot of dry weather around with some sunshine. But there will be some showers around, too. Generally isolated, but they will be quite heavy and slow moving where you catch them, as there will be very little wind to move them on. Thats because were in between weather systems, as you can see here, this weak area of high Pressure Building in. This is the area of low pressure which has brought a lot of grey, damp weather across eastern parts of the country throughout the week so far. It will still be close enough to bring further grey, damp, drizzly weather from East Anglia up towards northumberland, but a much drier and brighter day, i think, for the southeast of england. Elsewhere, early Cloud Clearing to allow for some sunny spells, but we could see a few isolated showers here and there. Perhaps a bit of low Cloud And Mist lapping on to western England And West wales coastline. And it will be warmer where you have the sunshine low 20s Celsius but cooler along the east coast. So a better looking day for wimbledon for thursday and friday. More sunshine around. Itll feel warmer, but it does turn more unsettled as we head on into the weekend thanks to a new area of low pressure. Through thursday night, any showers should tend to fade away. And again, well see variable amounts of cloud, a bit of Mist And Fog here and there and some clear spells. And for most of us, i think those temperatures holding in double figures, the odd single value there under clear skies and some of the glens in the north. So to end the week, again, a similar pressure pattern, but this area of low pressure is heading towards our shores just in time for the weekend. So for friday, then, there will be variable cloud to start with, a bit of mist too, but it looks like that will melt away. We should see some good spells of sunshine. The thinking is now we could see a few more showers around on friday, pretty much anywhere, but especially across central and southern scotland. It will be heavy, and with light winds, they will be slow moving as well. But top temperatures, again, 22 23 celsius. Then into the weekend, low pressure takes over, it becomes more unsettled for all of us. And you can see it moving here from the southwest. Could bring a spell of more prolonged rain across england and wales on saturday. Further north could see some heavy, slow moving showers. Into sunday, it looks like the whole of the uk will see a mixture of sunny spells and heavy, perhaps thundery showers. So temperature wise, because there will be more cloud around and showers, not quite as warm as how weve ended the week temperatures ranging from high teens to the low 20s. This is bbc news.
