c�*mon c�*mon, starring joaquin phonix, and the week�*s other big cinema releases — in the film review. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. a woman who murdered her boyfriend�*s six—year—old son has been jailed for life. arthur labinyo—hughes was starved and beaten by emma tustin, who has been told she will serve at least 29 years in prison. arthur�*s father, thomas hughes, has been jailed for 21 years for manslaughter. the judge at coventry crown court said the boy led a lonely and solitary life and that the couple�*s actions were spiteful, dehumanising and sadistic. our correspondent helena wilkinson was at the court — and just to warn you, some of the details she gave us are distressing. the judge today, when he sentenced tustin and hughes, and important to point out tustin was brought to the court here, however she refused to come to the courtroom to be sentenced. she remained in the cells but the judge continued as if she was in the courtroom when he sentenced the pair today. the judge said the case was one of the most distressing and disturbing that he had ever dealt with. he said neither defendant had shown any remorse for their behaviour and that their behaviour was spiteful and sadistic. he also said one of the most troubling aspects of this case was that tustin�*s own two children he said lived a perfectly happy life in that house just yards from where arthur was subjected to unthinkable abuse. he said to tustin that she was a manipulative women, and as you say today he has sentenced her to life in prison with a minimum term of 29 years. he sentenced hughes, arthur�*s father, to 21 years in prison. as you say, the most harrowing case and jurors here during the two—month trial had to hear and listen to the most difficult details about what happened to six—year—old arthur and the cruelty, the unimaginable cruelty that was inflicted on him by both hughes and tustin. he was left dehydrated and starved. he was force—fed salt—laced meals and also left in the lounge to sleep on the floor without a mattress, the jury was shown cctv of six—year—old arthur in the lounge in the days and on the morning before he was murdered by tustin and he appeared to have a limp, he looked incredibly weak, he was crying and he was struggling to lift up a duvet. the court also heard today some victim personal statements, an opportunity for family members to tell those who have committed the crimes about the impact they have had on them. we heard from arthur�*s paternal grandmotherjoanne hughes, who said today in court that arthur was happy, wasjoyous, was exuberant, and that his death had turned their life into perpetual grey. it also emerged during the trial that arthur had been seen by social workers two months before he died. it wasjoanne hughes, his paternal grandmother, who spotted a bruise on arthur but the trial heard that it was concluded by the social workers that there were no safeguarding concerns, but there is an independent review now under way which will be talking to all of the authorities and those who may have come into contact with arthur to see if there were opportunities missed. but unimaginable cruelty that was inflicted by hughes and tustin on a six—year—old defenceless little boy and they have been sentenced — tustin to life with a minimum term of 29 years and hughes, arthur�*s father who was convicted of manslaughter, he has been sentenced today to 21 years. joining me now is our news correspondent sanchia berg who hs reported extenstively on cases of child cruelty, including the death of victoria climbie and baby p. peter connolly. again, desperately distressing case. and yet we seem to hear at the end of these grim cases that phrase, "lessons will be learned. but that seems to happen every time. what strikes you when you read about what happened here? well, it does strike me how many parallels there are between arthur�*s case and those of victoria. she also was found dead with over 120 injuries on her small body. she was just eight years old. she had been cruelly treated for months, tortured with lit cigarettes, really terrible things that happened to her. she had come to the attention notjust of social workers but also the police and also doctors. she�*d actually been admitted to hospital for a couple of days a few months before her death. what happened in that case was there was a public inquiry following the conviction of our great—aunt and her great aunts boyfriend for her murder. in a public inquiry concluded that what happens is agencies should be able to talk much more effectively to each other. and let it happen. and thatis each other. and let it happen. and that is the way that things are supposed to work. but of course, here we are again, another awful case and more lessons as you say will probably be learned. but i think the difference here is quite possibly locked down, the first covid lockdown did affect some of these systems, the alerts that was supposed to go off. for example, arthur schools are often one of the first places where teachers can see that something is happening in a child�*s life. of course he wasn�*t at school, he was at home the whole time. that is one thing i�*m sure that the serious case review is going to be looking at. it serious case review is going to be looking at— looking at. it striking, it in the case of victoria _ looking at. it striking, it in the case of victoria you _ looking at. it striking, it in the case of victoria you talked - looking at. it striking, it in the l case of victoria you talked about a lack of communication or a need for more communication. and so often that appears to be a defining characteristic when we hear these desperate stories do you feel, you follow so many of these difficult stories, do you feel that some improvements have been made, that there is more communication between there is more communication between the various agencies? imilieu there is more communication between the various agencies?— the various agencies? when things work well there _ the various agencies? when things work well there certainly _ the various agencies? when things work well there certainly is - work well there certainly is communication between agencies. and it really can be effective for them and the system is different now. but i do think it�*s worth bearing in mind the cuts that local authorities had in recent years and how often child protection now is seen as emergency service. the local is soft but not authorities are often unable to do much early intervention work with these families. they don�*t know the families, they can help them. they are usually called in to intervene at the last minute. there�*s also the question of what was going on within social services department. with victoria for example, the front line social worker was very inexperienced, she had a very heavy caseload of very vulnerable child protection cases, she wasn�*t well supported by our managers. so she for example didn�*t managers. so she for example didn�*t manage to do one obvious thing which was to speak to victoria on her own. she couldn�*t speak french, victoria can only speak french. we don�*t know what happen here but it will be interesting to see the full picture that we will get from these reviews that we will get from these reviews that will be carried out now. in fact, if someone with can sermons for example a social worker or anyone that has a right to do so goes into a home because someone has flagged something or said there is cause for concern, how many rights do they have early on to ask to speak to the child on their own without an adult in the room? it�*s without an adult in the room? it's aood without an adult in the room? it�*s good practice to do that. that is something i remember when i talked to irene monroe many years ago which said is it a really basic thing to do, to talk to the child on the road in these cases for where there are claims, allegations, concerns. i think we really need to wait and see what happens in this case. certainly i know because that�*s what to so many social workers and teachers are never as lockdown, many were concerned that vulnerable children or being overlooked, slipping through the net. something that the former children�*s commission talked about this morning. we have received increasing numbers of report of child abuse during the lockdown. so this was obviously a situation that was particularly difficult. i�*m not trying to defend the social workers, clearly something went very wrong here. but i think it�*s really important that we find out what exactly that was in these reviews will be published, everyone will be able to see them. it�*s important to say is is currently a major review of children social care being carried out and its chair has already said that there needs to be reformed and needs to be more money spent on children�*s social care. the metropolitan police says it is "deeply sorry" that so many people faced "unacceptable scenes of disorder" at wembley stadium before the euro 2020 final injuly. an independent review said it was a source of "national shame" that around 2—thousand people without tickets managed to get into the stadium. it also criticised police for deploying officers too late. the author of the report, baroness casey said people almost lost their lives. i think what happened on euros sunday injuly was a very near miss and that would be a significant loss of life or injury is probably on a scale that sadly we saw at hillsborough. i think the benefit of it being a near miss is actually that we can learn from it to make sure it never happens again. i think loads of people are excited about the final, the country was in a fantastically excited atmosphere and i think everybody thought we had just lost a game, and we haven�*t won the tournament, but actually we had literally had people almost losing their lives, being crushed in a football stadium. i think it is too close and we cannot allow that to happen again and we must sort it out. commander rachel williams from the met police said lessons would be learned. through hindsight and baroness casey�*s analysis, it�*s clear that the events before the match overshadowed the anticipated incident following the penalty shoot out. whilst we had police presence in wembley across the day, we accept that the bulk of this was not present early enough to prevent scenes of disorder. it is a matter of deep regret that policing and all of those involved in the planning for the euro 2020 final did not foresee events before the match outside wembley. let�*s speak to our sports correspondent, natalie pirks, who is at wembley. my my goodness, this report pulls no punches. there is a lot of very strong language in this. absolutely. what's interesting _ strong language in this. absolutely. what's interesting is _ strong language in this. absolutely. what's interesting is to _ strong language in this. absolutely. what's interesting is to hear - strong language in this. absolutely. what's interesting is to hear the - what�*s interesting is to hear the police accept those failings because those of us that we hear on the deck could see very clearly from around ten in the morning that this was going to go quite badly. there were no police to be seen, they didn�*t come until around midday and then by thenit come until around midday and then by then it was a bit too late to start getting involved in getting boots on the ground. but this report does lay the ground. but this report does lay the blame squarely at lots of people. it talks about collective failures. it does reserve a lot of judgement for those fans, those drunk and drugged up thugs as it describes. and it talks about how potentially glorious national occasion it turned into a national shame. she talks about the drink and drugs being shocking and intolerable, the actions of those fans, talks about how cocaine was a key factor for that we did see open drug taking here. which again the police not being around certainly must�*ve contributed to that. some of the actions of fans were likened to a mid— evilfootball match. remarkably if england had one it could�*ve been even worse was that you heard the author of the report talking about how the good of the loss of life. the report says how they were up to 6,000 fans without tickets waiting outside wembley to storm in if england had won that match was up all agencies were caught off guard. the police apply the net deployment will arrive too late, as we said. in the end around 2,000 ticketless fans to get into wembley. there was 17 mask breaches of the gates the reports talks about individual cases, there was once a man who posed as a steward trying to separate a disabled child from his father in orderfor them separate a disabled child from his father in order for them to be able to push his wheelchair through a disabled gate just to get into this match. while the report did praise the act of some stewards it did say that it showed weaknesses in wembley security operation. remember, this match of the semifinal had had the capacity pushed up to 67,000. that was directly from ua for sanc, if you don�*t do that to the government and the fa were going to take this match and give it to budapest. because of that the government said, 67,000 it is for the semi and the file. in the report does say that some of the authorities, some of the football people around us were really worried about that and had raised concerns. the key thing from the report is five recommendations including three to wembley specifically those recommendations include things that matches of national significance like they should have a higher category with the government. meaning there will be greater resources used and deployed for matches like this from the police. it says the fa should lead a national campaign to bring about a sea change and fan attitudes when it comes to the culture around football. i think that will be quite tricky. it also says the government should consider strengthening the penalties for football related disorder. thank you. let�*s speak to david bernstein, who was chair of the fa from 2011 to 2013 — he�*s also a former chair of wembley stadium. thank you for being with us. 0ut thank you for being with us. out of interest, were you at that match? no, i wasn�*t. interest, were you at that match? no. wasn't-— no, i wasn't. having read all of this however, _ no, i wasn't.

this however, read the report today, your thoughts about the strength of language, you can almost feel the outrage coming off the page. x�*t�*aur outrage coming off the page. your thou~hts outrage coming off the page. your thoughts first _ outrage coming off the page. your thoughts first of _ outrage coming off the page. your thoughts first of all _ outrage coming off the page. gm;- thoughts first of all overall. 0verall, thoughts first of all overall. overall, the event was a disaster, clearly. and makes the point it could�*ve been a lot worse and it was described as a near miss was that i think she uses the word lawlessness as part of her description. so the whole event, the planning, the stewarding is only, it�*s a real lesson, it should not have happened. after site, after part is easy but frankly, one could have seen this coming with the levers two levels of stewarding and put in place. you say ou saw it stewarding and put in place. you say you saw it coming. _ stewarding and put in place. you say you saw it coming. it's _ stewarding and put in place. you say you saw it coming. it's beggars - you saw it coming. it�*s beggars belief, really. who didn�*t sit down and say this is a matter of key importance, were living through strange times, people will know that there are empty seats because of covid restrictions, what we get to do about those people who try to get in, turn up who don�*t have a ticket because i how come nobody said that was that there were so many people gathered around the ground and so on that i�*m surprised that intelligence that i�*m surprised that intelligence that they would�*ve had in advance of this didn�*t really forewarn them that this was. this didn't really forewarn them that this was.— this didn't really forewarn them

planning never counterthat. i a bit like this. but the planning never counter that. i want to add one point which had mentioned because the land around wembley stadium has been sold off for residential development is not possible to have a protective cordon away from the stadium itself. normally with the sort of events there is a cordon a few hundred yards away from the stadium which would make what happened much more difficult. so many people were allowed to get so close to the stadium the results were as they were. ~ . stadium the results were as they were. . . ., were. ok. what about those recommendations _ were. ok. what about those recommendations which - were. ok. what about those recommendations which is l were. ok. what about those - recommendations which is there

careful, there was clearly an absolute disaster and a failure in every sense. but i don�*t think we should generalise from it. the fact is going to football in this country is a much more enjoyable thing then it was ten or 20 years ago. and much safer. and the environment within the stadium by and large is a lot better. the troubles we had of abuse and so on is now on social media, away from the stadium. the premier league and the stadium. the premier league and the football league have been proud of the improvements made i don�*t think we should overgeneralize, this was a very particular situation. certainly it�*s a lesson for the future that this sort of national event occurs again. i don�*t think we should take away from the improvements made in the league. interesting. i�*m sorry we can�*t talk longer because there�*s lots more to debate with you. thank you so much. in an interesting point in which to end. yorkshire county cricket club has announced a series of departures, as it continues to deal with racism allegations made by former player azeem rafiq. director of cricket martyn moxon and coach andrew gale have now left the club, along with all members of the coaching team and the backroom medical team. club chair lord patel said difficult decisions were required to build a progressive and inclusive culture. 0ur sports reporter jo currie told me more about these latest departures. the fallout at yorkshire cricket club following the racist allegations made by former player azeem rafiq have continued. the details which have led us to this point, after the allegations, a report found that azeem rafiq was the victim of racism harassment and bullying. he had two spells with yorkshire between 2008 and 2018. he then appeared in parliament ahead of a dcms select committee, giving evidence about that racial harassment, it left him wanting to end his own life. as a result english cricket has announced an overhaul, looking at its attitudes and policies and what needs to be brought in when it looks at issues of tackling diversity within the sport. at yorkshire before today chairman roger hutton and chief executive mark arthur had already left their positions, today those departures were followed by director of cricket martyn moxon, coach andrew gale, the entire backroom coaching staff, and all in all 16 people more have left the club today. martyn moxon, who has recently been on sick leave, had been yorkshire�*s director of cricket since 2007 whilst former captain andrew gale had already been suspended from the club as part of an investigation into a tweet he sent in 2010. following today�*s announcement the club�*s new chairman lord patel said significant change was needed at the club and whilst today the decisions made were tough to take they were in fact in the best interests of the club. the energy regulator 0fgem has announced a review into the response by the power networks following storm arwen, which — a week on — has left thousands of homes still without power and the army being deployed to help. 130 troops have been sent to the grampian region of northern scotland, and around 100 to northeast england. durham county council says that as of last night between 4 and 5 thousand properties in the county were still cut off, and a �*major incident�* has been declared. northumberland county council has also declared a major incident. our correspondent luxmy gopal is in butterknowle, in county durham. that�*s right. it�*s one of many community hubs across the north of england and in scotland that have been providing a refuge in emergency refuge in place for people still without power, entering their second week now without power. around 200 homes in the villages nearby are without power. in durham county council declared a major incident which allowed the army to be called to help, draughted in to help vulnerable people about 50 miles from here. that�*s exactly what they�*re doing. following on from that northumberland county council did the same. that was over concerns of the welfare of the residents, some of whom have neither power or water. it�*s expected that military personnel may well be draughted to help those efforts. it�*s places like this is where volunteers have been working tirelessly to provide a lifeline for people who are still without power. warm shelter and hot meals, basics provided by volunteers offering a lifeline to those without power in butterknowle in county durham where a major incident has been declared, with around 100 army personnel being sent to help. tommy, a volunteer coordinator, has been out visiting people in the community, including 92—year—old cecil. joanne is a nurse and livs in harbottle in northumberland. she still has no power, no water and no internet. i am sleeping in here, which is not ideal, eating what i can in here, boiling pans of water on the log burner. you can only take so much. do you know what? i burst into tears, i am not ashamed to say. joanne is relying on a nearby community center, along with her neighbour anne. i think we have just been left out and forgotten about. i am more worried about the emergency services. where we are, there is no signal and no internet, how, if somebody needed an ambulance, would they get hold of it? in aberdeenshire, the military has been already helping out after tthe council put out an urgent request. around 4,000 homes are being visited to offer support. the infrastructure is pretty fragile, the weather has not helped, high winds that came yesterday have further weakened some places. we are hoping it gives them that reassurance that somebody is looking out for them. despite this help, numbers of residents are still struggling, without power for a week. they must know when they are going to reconnect my house. instead of telling me every day that it will only be hours. i could have planned for the long haul, not the short haul. the problem, as from saturday, all your camping equipment, glasses, coal, everything has been in short demand. many people are still left without power or any certainty about when it will return. we have people on the ground and working with the local authorities and local resilience forums to support those customers, we are making proactive calls out to vulnerable customers, people that have been in touch with us that we know they are in vulnerable situations. some have been told it could be december the 8th, 12 days after the power first went out. the energy regulator off jam the energy regulator offjam has launched a review to investigate the companies response to the storm and a compensation has been removed. it means that customers who are still without power could get up to £140 for each day they are without power. the question is, how long it�*s going to be. this morning we understood that around ten and a half thousand homes are without power, that was the latest update. since then it hasn�*t been an update and that�*s why there is this feeling of uncertainty from people around here that was some of the people i spoke into today saying that is the issue, they have no idea when it will come back on. in the meantime that is why places like this are essential and volunteers here say they are working to make sure they�*ve got enough resources to make it back keep providing hot meals for however long they may continue to be without power. the british online sportswear brand gymshark is to open its first physical store, following other web firms that are establishing a

child preotection agencies say lessons must be learned. a review of the disorder that marred the euro 2020 final between england and italy injuly has painted a picture of "ticketless, drunken and

record seven time champion ronnie 0�*sullivan has been knocked out of the uk snooker championship by kyren wilson following a dramatic finalframe decider. in a repeat of last year�*s world championship final — which 0�*sullivan won — wilson, the 5th seed, won the first two frames before the rocket fought back to square the match. it was tight thereafter but wilson put in one of the best performances of his career today and took the deciding frame to win 6—5. it�*s only his third career victory over 0�*sullivan. i was under pressure and big match deciders and i�*ve let a couple slip with ronnie, so it was nice to get that one under the belt. we all have good fortune here and there i had some where i went through and i fell to turning as the match went on and you�*re trying to

regarded as one of the country�*s finest stage actors, and had a long association with the royal shakespeare company. 0ur arts correspondent david sillito looks back at his life and career. deformed, unfinished, sent before my time into this breathing world, scarce half made up. every now and again, a performance goes beyond mere good reviews to become the one against which all others are measured. which i must reach unto... antony sher�*s compelling richard iii in 1984 was just such a role. when they are gone, then i must count my gains. i think my biggest problem is being young and beautiful. it is my biggest problem because i have never been young and beautiful. a few months later, he was the drag queen arnold in torch song trilogy. oh, i�*ve been beautiful. both roles 0livier award winning. but his story began with rejection by rada. they sent a letter saying, "we strongly recommend that you think of another career." at the time, that really puts you on the line and you really have to... it takes quite a lot of strength to work out whether they�*re right or not. as a child, he was shy, solitary. acting was seen as a way to bring him out of himself. he liked the idea of disguise, a mask for this gay, jewish, south african. on tv, he was the revolutionary howard kirk in the history man. but the plaudits didn�*t lead to film and tv stardom. his home was the theatre. my nose, sir, is enormous! he and the man who became his husband, the director greg doran. their great successes... hail! titus andronicus... 0thello. .. the moor already changes with my poison. lear... macbeth. he also painted. he was a successful novelist. but antony sher was at his best on stage, taking on those shakespearean greats... if i tell thee a lie, spit in my face and call me

the chief executive of the theatre is mark da vanzo. thank you for your time tonight. famously, the list of talent that emerge from that theatre in the 70s goes on and on. the list is endless. what is it about the grounding of that theatre that has just produced so many greats, including anthony who we are remembering today? the re orts, who we are remembering today? tue: reports, that versatility at a time where to perform children�*s plays the day and then begin on to play king lear at night. that demonstrates that he is an everyman. every role. he also learned some hugely lessons about acting that you have to have and put yourself on the line, i think that�*s a famous quote from sir anthony�*s biography, really putting himself on the line. it has to mean something to you for it to mean something to the audience. and i thought that is what he brought to every role he played. find i thought that is what he brought to every role he played.— i thought that is what he brought to every role he played. and talking to the bbc, he said _ the bbc, he said he was totally engrossed in whatever he was working on. he was absolutely absorbed by that character and that play. forgive me because i�*m sure there are actors watching this thing yes, we all do that. but some perhaps just get more absorbed and more caught up in what they�*re doing than others and you have a sense that is what he was doing. j others and you have a sense that is what he was doing.— what he was doing. i believe he is one of the — what he was doing. i believe he is one of the greatest _ what he was doing.

greatest performance of our time, remember as a student carrying a copy of his year of the king, talking about his experiences and his acting which is a textbook for acting on the line. and it was interesting to see him in a couple of occasions and you would not realise it was him. he was so unequaled in his parts that he transcended being just that part. just a wonderful, wonderful actor in

that pfizer and moderna are the most effective to use as boosterjabs. it�*s the first study of how well boosters work, and the researchers found promising signs that a third jab also protects against illness and death from the new 0micron variant. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes has the details. amid the uncertainty around the 0micron variant, some good news. further confirmation the booster jabs being used in the uk are safe and effective. a study involving nearly 3,000 adults saw boosters given about three months after second doses of astrazeneca or pfizer. seven vaccines were studied in all, but the two used for boosters in the uk, pfizer and moderna, performed the best. we saw very encouraging results from all the vaccines we tested, in terms of the magnitude of the booster antibodies but also in terms of how the body remembers the vaccine and then is able to respond in future, the long—term memory. boosters can cut the risk of infection by more than 93%. the plan is to offer them to all adults aged over 18 in the uk before the end of january, and it will usually either be the pfizer or moderna jab, while scientists find out more about the 0micron variant. much of that work is taking place in south africa, where 0micron is driving a rapid growth in infection rates. very early evidence suggests there may be a higher risk of reinfection from 0micron compared with the alpha, beta or delta variants but it is hard to say yet whether it will lead to more hospitalisations or deaths. at the moment, we are not seeing very high rates in terms of transmission, but it is early days yet. what is important is to continue to observe and monitor, and hopefully in the next couple of weeks we will have a much better picture. the emergence of the 0micron variant has prompted big changes to the uk�*s vaccination programme. as well as offering boosters to more people, the time between second dose and booster has been slashed from six to three months, so the encouraging news on how effective they are is welcome. the data on the boosters is fantastic because it is suggesting that if you have had your first and second shot, followed by the booster, you have got supercharged immunity, and this will help us to at least deal with some of the effects of 0micron when it really takes off here. there have been some problems — delays in changing the legal framework to accommodate the new plans have seen some people turned away from walk—in clinics or unable to book appointments. now millions of people are being urged to wait to be
