over 3,500 people died of drug poisoning last year — a record level in england and wales. and barcelona tell paris st—germain they must pay a record—breaking £198 million fee "in full" before they can sign their brazilian striker neymar. our main story at 5. four men from the west midlands have been found guilty of plotting an attack, similar to that carried out on the soldier lee rigby. a gang calling themselves the three musketeers, along with one other man, were thought to be planning to attack police and military targets on british soil. three of the men were convicted terrorists who met in prison. they'll be sentenced tomorrow. 0ur correspondent tom burridge is at the old bailey for us. three of these men had already been jailed for terrorism offences and in fa ct jailed for terrorism offences and in fact they met at belmarsh prison. information on all four of their la pto ps information on all four of their laptops and mobile phones said they we re laptops and mobile phones said they were obsessed with violent islamist rhetoric. text in the days before their arrest suggested bigger frustrated they had not carried out violent jihad. frustrated they had not carried out violentjihad. the problem for police is that they were knowledgeable about avoiding surveillance in the case gives us an interesting insight into the lengths that counterterrorism police had to go to as phil mackie reports. the raid at hero couriers in birmingham last august. an area near the city centre was evacuated and the bomb disposal unit called in. it was the culmination of an elaborate undercover operation in which the four men were observed meeting each other in birmingham and in stoke. they were already well known to the authorities. naweed ali and khobaib hussain had been jailed after travelling to a terror training camp in pakistan in 2011. in prison, they met mohibur rahman, who had been jailed for possessing terrorist material. they called themselves the three musketeers. rahman‘s friend, tahir aziz, a former member of the banned extremist group al—muhajiroun, later joined the group. the more they watched them, the more the police became suspicious. these men, along with aziz, were very aware of surveillance and carried out countersurveillance strategies. they used unregistered phones, they used encrypted social media apps to exchange extremist and violent material. they often met in public open spaces such as parks so they could not be listened in to. we needed to be one step ahead of them and put together an operation that was bold and ambitious, but that would ensure we kept communities safe and provided enough evidence to put before the court. the courier company just up there was a front. the boss was an undercover police officer. khobaib hussain and naweed ali were givenjobs there, and when ali went out on a delivery, they searched his car and found a cache of weapons. there was a partially constructed pipe bomb, a meat cleaver with the word "kafir", or "unbeliever", scratched onto the blade. and a replica handgun. this plot was foiled, but the release of more terrorists from prison could lead to future problems. the fact that people are being released and you know that they're terrorists, they have been convicted of terrorist offences, they are being released back into society and there's no reason to think that they have been de—radicalised. i think society across the world needs to ask themselves the question. are you happy with that? ali and hussain come from spark hill in birmingham, where a local charity works with the home office on counter radicalisation. so can someone's views become more extreme after they've been to prison? if they've bumped into somebody inside who is actually grooming them and radicalising them then, yes, of course. but if they are provided with the right support and then they basically don't come out worse. is there any hope for somebody who's got that absolute commitment to an extremist point of view? yes, absolutely. we believe there's always hope. we believe with the right support and the right programmes, there's always hope. the four men will be sentenced later — three of them for a second time. phil mackie, bbc news, birmingham. we can now tell you that the group had links to the islamist hate preacher jailed last had links to the islamist hate preacherjailed last year, anjem choudary. that information was kept from thejury choudary. that information was kept from the jury because it was deemed to be prejudicial. but the case was long and protracted and complicated. some witnesses for the prosecution we re some witnesses for the prosecution were grilled for more than two weeks, one in particular, an undercover officer called vincent. the defence tried to argue that the evidence had been planted but that was rejected by thejury. the man will be sentenced here at the old bailey tomorrow. an inquest has heard how a british man — who was fighting islamic state militants in syria — took his own life to avoid being captured. ryan lock, who was 20 and from chichester in west sussex, died while fighting alongside kurdish forces in the northern city of raqqa last december. recording a narrative verdict, the coroner at the hearing in portsmouth said mr lock had sustained a leg wound and he was not prepared to fall into the hands of a "cruel and ruthless" enemy. after 65 years of official public engagements, the duke of edinburgh has made his final solo appearance on royal duty. prince philip braved the rain to attend a parade by the royal marines, of which he's the captain general. now 96, he's the longest serving consort in british history. 0ur correspondent sarah campbell is at buckingham palace for us. good afternoon. on his 90th birthday prince philip said he had done his bit and he would be stepping down finally six years later, it actually happened. earlier this afternoon on a very wet and windy buckingham palace for court he was given three cheers by the royal marines on this, his last solo public engagement. it was a sendoff which one suspects he will have enjoyed. a military parade mounted on the forecourt of buckingham palace by the royal marines. the fighting force which is part of his beloved royal navy and of which he became captain general way back in 1953. back then the duke was in his early 30s. now he is 96 and he has finally accepted it is time to step back. departing with three cheers from the marines and his own memories of seven decades on the public stage. he's been a familiar and sometimes forthright feature of national life ever since his marriage to the then princess elizabeth in november 19117. and although his robust approach to people and events has sometimes got him into trouble, few can criticise his devotion to royal duty. most often in support of the queen, but also in pursuit of his own separate programme, supporting issues like the environment and the development of the awards programme for young people which he created and which is named after him. it is not a complete retirement from public life. the duke will still accompany the queen to certain events. but after more than 22,000 solo engagements and more than 600 solo overseas visits since the queen came to the throne, the duke's withdrawal is a further reminder of the transition which is gradually taking place, with prince charles and his sons taking on more. there are more red boxes going to prince charles now. there is another one going say to prince william. so the change, very quietly, very well—organised, and almost unnoticeable, has been going on now for five years. after 70 years of royal duty together, the queen will certainly miss having her husband at her side for most of her public appearances. from now on younger members of the royal family will take the place of the duke as the self—declared leading plaque unveiled in the world finally takes things a little easier. seven decades of public servers, 22,000 solo engagements, 637 solo overseas visits not including all the engagements carried out with the queen. in the future the palace has said he may still decide to attend certain events alongside the queen elizabeth is not the last we will see of the duke of edinburgh. her schedule we understand will continue as normal but as we heard, she will be accompanied by other members of the royal family taking the place of the royal family taking the place of the duke. with his continued passion for carriage riding, the environment and the outdoors, his retirement is unlikely to be sedate. martin palmer has been a friend and religious adviser to prince philip since 1985. hejoins us from our bristol studio. good to see you. the duke, how do you think he is feeling today, relieved? i suspect so. i've known him for 30 years and in the past five years things have been more difficult, he has been more tired and the last event we did with him, and the last event we did with him, a group of religious leaders from china, a couple of months ago, he was looking tired. but i think also you have to remember he has been used to having periods of time off. when you plan the royal diaries you do them in six month slots from january to june and do them in six month slots from january tojune and thenjuly to december and always we knew we could not block anything maybe before mid—0ctoberfor the not block anything maybe before mid—0ctober for the second part. not block anything maybe before mid—0ctoberfor the second part. so it is not as though he has never relaxed and he knows how to relax, i can tell you that having been with him ona can tell you that having been with him on a few relaxing moments. we we re him on a few relaxing moments. we were all watching him being saluted by the royal marines today and he looked incredibly spritely, walking with purpose and a stiff back. you wonder if it is just tiredness or if perhaps he's feeling, i have done this for such a long time, i want to do something else. i think primarily it is tiredness, he is incredibly fit for someone of his age. he takes great pride in what he does, great pride i think more importantly in what he enables other people to be able to do. that is hugely important. he has always been the kind of person who was more interested in the people that he is meeting than in them asking him questions. and so he has always had this sense ofjust finding the world is fascinating. and as was said, by nicholas, he's not going to get up in the morning in his slippers, he is going to be reading, thinking, many of the meetings i have been too with him were unofficial, just we met because we wanted to talk about ideas. that will not stop and my only fear is that he will have more time to read and that means i will have to read even more to keep up with him! he has been the longest serving royal consort in history. but it must be remembered that it was a role that he was not, it took a long time to adapt to and get used to. he did not feel it was fit for him at the beginning. not at all, no one expected king george vi to die so young. and it cut short as we have heard, his naval career, something he loved. and really delighted in. and for a while yes, he was a bit lost, what to do, what is your role especially someone with such strong opinions as him. but what he emerged with was two things, first he realised that if he could wear the trousers is it were in the winterfamily, the wear the trousers is it were in the winter family, the queen could wear the crown more easily. and secondly, people would actually pay attention to him if he raised an issue whether it was environment, young people, plainfield, whatever it was, that people would actually notice things that otherwise would past beyond surveillance. and also his ability to bring together people who otherwise would never want to meet. never mind be able to beat. he has brokered more deals, more meetings between people who were at daggers drawn with each other often or at least groups who are completely ignorant of the fact that they can work with other groups, that i think anyone would ever appreciate. because although is public facade is this blustery character and he can be that, actually he very much listens rather than talks. and that is quite something. he looked very spritely today, how do you think he would like history to remember the professional, public role but he has played as consort to the queen?” think as somebody who was completely supportive of the queen, once he worked out what that meant. i think that took a couple of years before that took a couple of years before that was comfortable. and i think he would love to be remembered as somebody who was unconventional, someone somebody who was unconventional, someone who could take people who perhaps were being over earnest and make them laugh. i remember not long ago an event at which we had some very earnest californians running something called global world or something called global world or something and he found them slightly tiresome. they breezed in and philip said, maybe, did you think the world was flat before question mark wonderful that you're telling people it is global. and there was a moment of complete, what is he talking about. and then suddenly they realised the humour and were able to tell what it was about. they're not many people who can carry that. sometimes it has backfired a bit but ican sometimes it has backfired a bit but i can tell you, of the many that i have heard, i have heard many others that broke the ice and enabled people to feel that they had had a real conversation rather than just a handshake. great to get your reflections, martin. an emergency operation has been underway to help a0 army cadets in the mourne mountains in northern ireland. the ministry of defence said army cadets aged between 12 and 17 had been camping and got into difficulties. all the children — who are understood to from england — are now said to be safe and accounted for. 0ur correspondent chris buckler is in the mourne mountains. all taken off the mountain safely but it was a difficultjob for rescue services with dreadful weather closing in? yes and the last of the mountain rescue and ambulance teams are just leaving but little more than an hour ago this quiet country crossroads was covered in emergency vehicles. and people helping to bring down children from up helping to bring down children from up in the mountainsjust helping to bring down children from up in the mountains just above. helping to bring down children from up in the mountainsjust above. you can probably see the list of the top of the mountains. earlier this morning and overnight the wind and rain made conditions pretty treacherous here and a number of those young people got into trouble, some suffered minor injuries. i saw some suffered minor injuries. i saw some of the children coming down, stretchered off the mountain, some with leg injuries and others suffering hypothermia. it has been a huge effort to try to get them. some of the mountain rescue teams that have been working away, there are now looking towards leaving this place now but up until now it has been a case ofjust get the young people off the mountain as quickly as possible. as you mentioned, there are cadets, here on a camping exercise, and they were here trying to just exercise, and they were here trying tojust go exercise, and they were here trying to just go through an operation of some sort. really involved in a camp but the conditions were not prepared for and we have had some suffering from the effect of cold, others with minor injuries. the ambulance did not want to talk too much about it, still treating the young people. and helicopters, four by four vehicles and many people involved in this operation. as you mentioned the ministry of defence released a statement, these young people were coming overfrom statement, these young people were coming over from england, statement, these young people were coming overfrom england, involved in this operation and they say they have all been accounted for now and some are still being treated at the moment. thanks for that. this is bbc news at five — the headlines. four men from the west midlands, have been found guilty of plotting terror attacks against police and military targets. after 65 years of royal duty, prince philip makes his last solo official public engagement, reviewing a parade of royal marines. scores of army cadets, aged 12 and 17, have been rescued off the mourne mountains in northern ireland, after getting into difficulties in bad weather. and in sport, the football transfer record is about to be smashed. neymar has told barcelona he wants to leave, now it's over to paris st—germain to pay a world record fee of £198 million to buy him out his contract. it's an important night for celtic as brendan rodgers' side head to norway to take on rosenborg in the second leg of their champions league qualifier. and there's a shock at goodwood as 20—1 outsider here comes when beats the odds—on favourite ribchester in the day's big race, the sussex stakes. more on those stories later. the president of the prison governors association, has attacked the government's management ofjails in england and wales. andrea albutt says she's "devastated" at the "complete decline" in the service that she says over—stretched staff are able to provide. she made the comments in an open letter, after recent violence at prisons in hertfordshire and wiltshire. the ministry ofjustice, says it's recruiting more prison officers. our home affair correspondent danny shaw reports. troubling times for jails in england and wales. this was the scene outside the mount prison in hertfordshire this week as a team of prison officers prepared to deal with a disturbance. they are known as tornado units, specially trained and equipped to restore order when prisoners take control. the problems add up to a crisis, caused by a toxic mix of population pressures and staff shortages. that is the view of the leader of the organisation which represents prison governors. the situation is bad. and until we get sufficient staff in our prison, the situation we are in will continue. so we will continue to try to control the situation in our prisons, but we will not be delivering in a significant number of our prisons, good—quality rehabilitative regimes. we will literally be holding and controlling people in our care and this is unacceptable. in an open letter that's sharply critical of the government and the handling of prisons, andera albutt said her members had seen nothing tangible from ministers to ease the burden on staff. separation was perverse and not cost—effective. she claimed there was a gaping hole in operational knowledge in the ministry ofjustice, that she said was being filled by moving governors from their posts in prisons. but some question why prison governors are only speaking out now. we would like to think they are analysed, but where have they been for five years? we have all been affected. it is not their members getting used as punch bags, it is ours. the ministry ofjustice is recruiting an extra 2500 staff and has set up a new agency, the prison and probation service. in a statement, they said, this will help to create a professional front line service and will ensure that policy and operations are working closely together to deliver these much—needed reforms. new prisons are being built, but the overall prison population is increasing at such a rate, there is little spare capacity. the number of deaths due to drugs in england and wales last year, has reached the highest level on record. figures from the office for national statistics show that 3,744 drugs poisoning deaths were registered in 2016 — that's a rise of 2 percent on the previous year. two—thirds were due to the misuse of drugs — most deaths were men — in line with previous years. the majority of people had used drugs like heroin and morphine. but last year there were 371 deaths involving cocaine that's a rise of 16 per cent. and the 0ns thinks it could be down to people taking a more pure form of the drug. in terms of ages, it's now people in their 40s who have the highest mortality rate they've overtaken people in their 30s. and experts have referred to this as the ‘trainspotting' generation — the reference to the film 20 years ago — people whose addiction started then, and are now dying. let's speak to dr sue pryce — a professor of politics at the university of nottingham — who has done extensive research into drugs policy. these figures, they are up 2% the previous year and the highest on record. are you surprised? i'm not, i think the partly is traced back to the new policy be adopted by the government adopted in 2010 which was goodin government adopted in 2010 which was good in terms of being about recovery and abstinence in the sense that nobody wants to be as the phrase was used at the time, parked on methadone for their life. but recovery is aspirational, it is not something easily accessible to many long—term drug addicts. the result is many of them get treatment for a while and then the treatment is cut down because they are not complying effectively with it. and therefore they turn back to street drugs or mix street drugs were prescribed drugs. so i'm not surprised. could you just explain that change in policy specifically, what was happening before that?l policy specifically, what was happening before that? a lot of people criticised under the former labour government for being parked on methadone by the national treatment agency that was running all the treatment side of the time. then they basically were put on more short—term treatment programmes, the idea was that you were put on a substitute and that became the new opiate substitute instead of methadone. but they were put on this for much shorter periods, drug testing regimes etc, and if they we re testing regimes etc, and if they were not complying then the amount of drug substitute or heroin substitute that they were getting was reduced and they'll wear back to street drugs. given that, street drugs are now more potent at the moment, that will probably not be forever but they're being mixed with a synthetic opioid called fentanyl. and that is much stronger, a much stronger opioid and therefore a lot of the heroin that you buy on the streets is now stronger than it was before. do you think then there should be a reassessment of that policy and perhaps a move back towards longer term use of methadone? longer term use of substitutes, not necessarily methadone. a lot of people find that there are better substitutes. but there are better substitutes. but there are better substitutes. but there are all kinds of things that we re there are all kinds of things that were not doing in this country that are quite commonplace in europe. such as bill testing. there is a little bit of a beginning at festivals now but the problem with these, what is generally referred to as harm reduction policies is that they are very controversial in that they are very controversial in that they seem to condone drug use. so there is a lot of controversy over opening drug consumption rooms in glasgow at the moment. these are quite commonplace in europe. we are well behind europe in the harm reduction stakes of the moment. and with other world leaders in it way backin with other world leaders in it way back in 1926 which many people will not think back to. but the ralston committees that the best way to handle addiction was to prescribe for addicts, that they were looking particularly at heroin. if they could live a normal life by receiving a heroin prescription for stockbridge or not do that now, or we do very little of that. and yet some of our addicts as you pointed out in your piece just now, are some of our addicts as you pointed out in your piecejust now, are in their 40s. they have been addicted to drugs from, for the last 20 yea rs. to drugs from, for the last 20 years. and if people are addicted for that long does no easy answer. not many people if you ask them if they would want to be addicted to drugs, it is miserable. and i think most addicts would agree with that. thank you very much. the government's been urged to do more to persuade european union countries to increase staffing levels at airports, after british tourists faced long waits at border controls. some holidaymakers say they were forced to queue for hours, because of additional security checks, on travellers from outside the schengen free movement area. airlines uk, which represents british—based carriers, says ministers should use whatever influence they can to improve the situation. dan johnson reports. queues at passport control, nothing new. but some delays have been as long as four hours at airports like barcelona. passengers have even missed flights because of the wait. kate was in a group of 22 who were stuck in spain on monday. even though they were at the airport three hours early. by the time we got to the gate they told us the gate was closed. the plane was still there, the bridge was still attached to the plane, but they refused to let 22 of us on this plane and yet it took them half an hour to unload our luggage off the plane. which is an absolute disgrace. this is all because of tighter security checks across the european countries that share passport and border control under the schengen agreement. more passengers are being checked against more databases to stop terrorists and criminals — that is all taking much longer. the reason for these delays is that some national governments had not foreseen the proper staffing resources and technology solutions at airports to make sure these checks can be done in a smoother way. these new rules have been enforced since april. but they have really made an impact now that airports are busy with holiday—makers. august is always the busiest time of year for travel, so inevitably you see long queues at this time of year. if you add to that the fact that they're bringing in these new security requirements, it's understandable those queues are longer than normal. so the most important thing to bear in mind is that when you leave for your destination abroad, leave some extra time to get through passport control, otherwise you run the risk of your losing your flight. there is always a trade—off, between the level of security and speed through the airport. many are calling for more staff — these new checks have not even been fully rolled out yet so the queues could get longer before they get shorter. dan johnson, bbc news. time for a look at the weather, here's jay wynne. it is not a pretty picture. a lot of cloud. it has been raining hard for some areas. an area of rain moving north, another drifting eastward showers behind. it is windy, as well and the wind will push the rain eastwards and northwards after a decent day in scotland, having a wet night. showers coming in on the wind as we get to dawn. not a cold night. low pressure is in charge tomorrow. it will be one of those days with heavy showers and slow—moving showers in scotland, northern england and northern ireland. further south, showers moving through, given the strength of the wind, and there will be drier spells between the showers in the south. temperature is tempered by the wind. further showers on friday but not too many. this is bbc news at 5 — the headlines. four men from the west midlands have been found guilty of planning a lee rigby—style terror attack against police and military targets. the duke of edinburgh has this afternoon attended a royal marines parade at buckingham palace, his final solo public engagement before retiring from royal duties at the age of 96. the emergency services in northern ireland have been rescuing dozens of army cadets from the mourne mountains in northern ireland. the group, from middlesbrough, got into trouble in bad weather. prison governors have warned that the prison service in england and wales is in "complete decline", with recruitment remaining in a "critical" condition. the number of drug poisoning deaths reached record levels in england and wales last year. officials say that the rising levels in the purity of cocaine could be one explanation for the increase. now all the details of that multi, multi—million pound signing potentially. it is a crazy story. we've had weeks of speculation but it finally looks like brazilian superstar neymar will leave barcelona to join paris saint germain for a world record fee of £198 million. neymar told his club this morning that he wants to leave the nou camp and head to the french capital in a dealfunded by qatar sports investments, who took over the club in 2012. 0ur sports correspondent richard conway is in paris. fans visiting the club shop here in the centre of paris are getting excited because the deal for neymar is inching slowly forward. we have seen in the past few days the player going from shanghai where he was on commercial duties and flying back to barcelona. he has been excused from training and now barcelona are saying, pay us the money and paris st germain, you can have the player. we will see how it plays out in the coming hours and days. there is now an increasing certainty that neymar will be a paris st germain player this coming season and the indications for that are huge, of course, for barcelona, who will be without one of their leading players and for psg who desperately want to bridge the gap from being champions league wannabes to winners and also for uefa, given financial fair play, clubs have a requirement to live within their means. the size of this deal and the money involved in this potential transfer is such that many clubs and individuals at the highest levels of football are looking at it and wondering if psg can live within those obligations. for now the fans here just want to know one thing, when will neymar sign. the club shop will be busy if the deal goes ahead. it's a huge night for celtic as brendan rodgers' side head to norway to take on rosenborg in the second leg of their champions league qualifier. the first leg finished goalless. rodgers saying celtic‘s clean sheet could prove crucial. leigh griffiths is expected to play after missing the first leg with injury. rosenborg had the better chances and being 17 games into the season, looked the sharper of the two. defeat for celtic would have huge financial implications. england's women play their euro 2017 semifinal tomorrow — and they'll be without their first—choice karen bardsley, who broke her leg during the quarters. siobhan chamberlain will step up to replace her and she's looking to make the most of the opportunity we are all really disappointed for karen, she has had a fantastic tournament so far and has not conceded a goal, so it is really disappointing for her but this is why we have this strong gk union because you never know who will be called upon at any time. we work hard day in, day out, supporting her when she is playing and she supports us when we are playing and nothing will change there and she has been great since she has been injured as well. there was a surprise in the big race of the day at goodwood with 20—1 outsider here comes when winning the sussex stakes. 0dds—on favourite ribchester who was looking for a third straight win, finished in second after rival churchill was forced to pull out because of the heavy rain. here comes when held on to win by a neck to give trainer andrew balding his first topflight victory since 2014. former captain alastair cook believes england's experience as a test team will be key as they go in pursuit of becoming the world's number one side again. friday sees england play the fourth and final test against south africa, who are currently ranked the world's second best team. england only need to avoid defeat to win the series — which they currently lead 2—1. as this side develops, we are getting to that stage where a lot of the players have a bit of experience, 30 test matches is always a bit of a benchmark for players. if you play 30 matches you understand the rigmarole of test cricket and your game a lot better than when you have played one or two. we should be getting more consistent and this is the challenge for this side, that consistency which has not been there for the last 12 months. that's all sport for now. i'll have more in sportsday at half past 6 let's get more on our top story — that four men from the west midlands have been found guilty of plotting an attack similar to that carried out on the soldier lee rigby. a gang calling themselves the three musketeers, along with one other man, were planning to attack police and military targets on british soil. two of the men had previously been jailed for terrorism offences after trying to join an al-qaeda training camp in pakistan. they met the third member — who had been convicted of possessing an al-qaeda magazine — while in prison. usama hasan is an imam, and also head of islamic studies for the counter—extremist group qilliam uk. it is good to see you. thanks for coming in. two elements of the story with two of these men meeting a third man while injail, then we have... we can discuss the potential radicalisation in prison and extremists getting together in jail, but also all three men were released from prison and clearly had extremist tendencies. the first point about the meeting in jail, extremist tendencies. the first point about the meeting injail, how much of a continuing problem is that and what is the best way to deal with? radicalisation in prison is a major issue. the government official review published a report where he said radicalisation in prisons is out of control and we have seen step since then stop the most dangerous are now isolated completely and effectively kept in solitary confinement. i have noticed in my visits to prison, terra convicts are keptin visits to prison, terra convicts are kept in separate wings so they are unable to socialise and unable to get together to form gangs like this. other muslim prisoners were actually avoiding terra convicts, because the appeal of this kind of archived, isis inspired group, is thank god fading especially with isis losing territory. prisoners are now deciding to keep away from hardened islamists? exactly. saying they have heard someone is a terra convict and make it away from him. three people, these men, were already radicalised. the problem was they met up and formed a new friendship, something the prison service is trying to crack down on to stop it happening again. service is trying to crack down on to stop it happening againm service is trying to crack down on to stop it happening again. it is tricky in this case. two of the men seemed to be further down the road when it came to radicalisation and wanting to attack western targets. they tried to get into a terrorist training camp in pakistan. the third person they met in prison was arrested and put in jail for holding terrorist literature, having a magazine on al-qaeda, which suggests he wasn't as far down the extremism roaders the others. and a fourth man. it shows that hardened ideologues, from their interviews, recordings, wanted to do something. they can influence others. they were on the radar even they released because the original offences were relatively minor but they were clearly on the radar and the security services monitoring them and they managed to pick them up and avert what could have been a mass casualty attack. it shows the complexity of monitoring suspects. they were being monitored. it would seem they were being monitored. it would seem it was a good thing that was happening. there was still a controversy and is, over the monitoring of people who have been jailed for potential extremist activity, and whether or not the orders that will mean people are watched, measures that will involve their surveillance, whether they are strong enough to stop people getting into the wrong company, as it were, when they leave jail. the independent reviewer of terrorism, who changes every couple of years, it is theirjob to look at this. lord carlile, a previous independent reviewer, said we should bring back something like control orders, because the london bridge attack recently, the ringleader would have been subject to those control orders and probably stopped. he was on the radar but deemed low priority, which is why he was able to go through with his plot. had there been stronger measures in place he could have been possibly stopped. it is a balance between civil liberty and counterterrorism. it shows the complexity of the police and security services having to tread a fine line between legislation and monitoring and pursuing and arresting terrorists who want to do damage to the people of britain. the ministry ofjustice put out a statement saying, we have announced plans to house the most subversive prisoners in

than a million women in their early 60s are financially worse off, because of the rise in the state pension age. the institute for fiscal studies, says while the government is saving five billions pounds a year, many women are losing on average, more than 30 pounds a week. here's simon gompertz. waiting for the state pension and struggling to get by. no trips to the pictures, no trip to the pub. my lifestyle has changed. i cannot do the things i used to do. shirley from aberdeen is 61, not working because of ill—health and she won't qualify for the pension until she's 66. the effect it has had on me... because, having to... rely on your family. my son said to me, he said mum, you brought me up, you always gave me when you had it, it is my term. but it is still hard. pension ages used to be 60 for women and 65 for men. by the end of the decade they'll be 66 for both — the reform coming in stages. the result is more than a million women in their early 60s having weekly average incomes £32 less than they would have been, and the hit would be bigger, but for the fact many are working. 18% are living in poverty, that's on under £237 a week for a couple. perhaps the group who are worst off in this reform are the ones who want to work, perhaps retire a bit later, but are unable to do so. perhaps they can't find work or their health prevents them from being able to do so. women have been campaigning for compensation saying they weren't given enough warning. so they could not plan to work on and save more. the pension changes save £5 billion a year. the government says they're fair and that because of rising life expectancy, women now retiring will get the state pension for longer than previous generations. and they argue with longer life spans women will get more money than previous generations, even though they pick them up later. that does not help surely in the years before her 66th birthday during which she had to rely on friends and family to keep afloat.

system for people seeking to gain a green card for permanent residency. the president said the aim was to focus on skilled immigration. 0ur correspondent laura bicker. this is a major announcement? this is donald trump playing to his base and the reason he was elected, one of the reasons, is because he said he would be tough on immigration and now he is cracking down on legal immigration and low skilled workers coming to the united states. the white house said 1 million people coming to the united states each year to find work and say most are not skilled workers. they want higher paid workers and they will prioritise english speakers. this is what donald trump said earlier.m ends chain migration and replaces the low skills system with a points—based system. this competitive application process will favour applicants who can speak english, financially support themselves and their families, and demonstrate skills that will contribute to our economy. it prevents new migrants and immigrants from collecting welfare and protects you as workers from being displaced. the president speaking a short time ago. all of this coming on the same day there is controversy concerning donaldjr, his day there is controversy concerning donald jr, his son, day there is controversy concerning donaldjr, his son, and meetings with russian officials in the election campaign and also the same day he had to sign legislation coming from congress giving new sanctions and applying new sanctions to russia over ukraine. this bill has sat on president trump's desk all weekend. he has tried to change it, but this is an example of the power of the presidency coming up against the power of those in congress. the bill was put together in congress and overwhelmingly voted for in congress. it boxed president trump intoa for in congress. it boxed president trump into a corner. what did he do with the new bill that would impose sanctions on russia? he had to sign it because if you didn't, congress would have overridden his veto. he had to sign a bill he did not like and he made his displeasure keenly known in a series of statements saying and describing the bill is seriously flawed. thank you, laura. the us government is considering plans to allow more oil exploration in the arctic ocean, overturning a ban put in place by president 0bama. a coalition of native rights and conservation organisations has called this unconstitutional and has launched a legal action against president trump. the inupiat whale hunters of northern alaska could feel the greatest impact of any drilling. 0ur environment correspondent claire marshall travelled more than 300 miles north of the arctic circle and sent this report. the climate is changing and the ice that covers the arctic is disappearing. here the conflict between the natural world and the business of oil is at its most stark. this town is the furthest north in the united states, so remote it is cut off by road from the rest of the country. the inupiat call the ocean their garden. and this is where they store the harvest of whale meat. is that kidney? if that's kidney put it on top of the heart. i don't know where the heart is. it's right in front of you. this is an ice cellar dug out of the permafrost, the perfect freezer. it helps to sustain them during the long arctic winter. back up. as your mouth starts to warm it up it softens up like chocolate. it's a richness you can't get from anything else. so take that one. i'lljust have a little one. put it on your tongue. don't try and chew it real fast, just kind of let it dissolve a little bit in your mouth. then start chewing it. but it should... it's not oily. it's not like crisco oil. no. no, it's not my thing. i don't mind the meat, i don't mind the meat of it, but i'm not mad on that. hunters always have a knife on them. we use white because the whales can see colour. niaomi is a whale hunter. she takes us to a feast on the beach. the inupiat have hunted the bowhead whale in their sealskin boats for thousands of years. now donald trump intends to reverse the ban on drilling in the arctic ocean. and many are afraid they will lose their way of life. i honestly want to be at the shore and tell him no, you can't. i mean, just imagine if there were to be a big spill in the ocean. none of this would be happening right now. but like the rest of alaska, this town is almost entirely dependent on oil. taxes on the industry in other parts of the country pay for the infrastructure and every alaskan gets a yearly cash dividend. once you start slicing it all off,... fred believes that oil is the only way they can carry on hunting. you can't go whaling for free. it costs money to go whaling. so there's an opportunity to coexist together. and an opportunity for not only industry to thrive but also the local traditional hunters. we are closer to the north pole here than we are to washington, dc. but the white house has its eyes firmly fixed on this region. it is an unstable world and what lies beneath this ice could be crucial to the energy security of the united states. but drilling here would be very risky, just as it is risky to hunt. armed in case of polar bears, some other hunters take us out to the very top berger. to the very top of america. the arctic is warming twice as fast as anywhere else on the planet. most scientists agree that oil, a fossilfuel, is helping to bring about this change. i love my people and i love my land. maybe we should start looking ahead for something that's more renewable. maybe wind in the winter and solar in the summer. any options are better. traditional inupiat dancers tell the stories of their land and its creatures. donald trump and his decisions may well be woven into the songs of the future. claire marshall, bbc news. the london—based company that provided the voting system for the highly controversial constituent assembly in venezuela on sunday says some machines were tampered with. the difference between the result announced an turnout was at least 1 million votes. it is therefore with the deepest regret that we have to report that the

interfere with it. as charity records go, this one's a classic.three women in their 70s and 80s, from melbourne, australia, have been channelling their inner beyonce. they've recorded a version of the hit, ‘all the single ladies,‘ as part of a campaign to save their local bowling club from demolition. in just three days, the track all the bowling ladies has had a million views online. 0ur sydney correspondent hywel griffith has more. # all the bowling ladies... with a combined age of 236, terri, janine and wyn may have thought their chances of pop stardom had passed. butjust four days after posting this video online, the bowling ladies of chadstone have caught the attention of the world. their impassioned plea to save their bowls club from being replaced by an indoor sports stadium has clearly struck a chord. even if they were not too familiar with the original version. two of us had heard of beyonce, but two of us had not any idea about that song. it is a wonderful environment, especially for the older people. we do not want to lose it because then where would we go? we'd have to travel and most of the ladies are older than i am, i'm 72 — it is their second home. everybody cares. the local council says that the club is just one potential site being considered for a new stadium which would help meet demand for several sports. but chadstone's bowlers feel they are the victims of ageism as their sport may not be considered sexy enough. although the demanding choreography left one member saying she may need a hip replacement, the bowling ladies have clearly got their voices heard. and it would now take a brave politician to try to turf them out. it is winter in australia and it feels like it's winter here. we are seeing a lot of cloud and rain across seeing a lot
