For Conservative Leader the new Prime Minister will be announced next monday. In the ryan giggs trial, the jury is discharged after failing to reach verdicts on the charges of Controlling Behaviour and assault. And we talk to the child refugee from ghana whos now at the summit of britains fashion journalism. And coming up in the sport on the bbc news channel, andy murray comes from a set down to book his place in the third round of the us open. Good evening. In his final week as Prime Minister, borisjohnson has been claiming credit for the rise in Police Numbers in england and wales, and for a sharp reduction in recorded levels of neighbourhood crime. But he was speaking on the day a new report warned that Police Forces were being distracted from the basic business of solving crime. And at tonights debate between the two candidates to succeed mrjohnson, both liz truss and rishi sunak said police should be focusing on making the streets safer. The bbc� s own Research Shows police are taking longer to attend serious incidents, and theyre charging fewer suspects. As part of those findings , tonight we have a special investigation from chorley in lancashire, where parents whose children have been routinely bullied and assaulted, have been demanding police action. Of violence and injury. Screaming. Theyre just brutal. Screaming. I wantjustice for her, i want her to see that the police will do something if something wrong happens they punched him, kicked him, head butted him. Four months on and we still dont have an outcome. Police response, took them four days before even a statement was taken. I feel completely let down, and so does he. For months, the bbc has been hearing about peoples experiences reporting crime. This is the story of mums in chorley whose children have been attacked by a group of teenagers. If there is any Police Looking out of the window, this is my daughters face after she was stamped on so many times. Had i have done that to my child, i rightfully would have been taken right away. A protest in the face of Chorley Police station. My daughter didnt leave the house for 12 months, she has ptsd. Parents like lisa demanding to be heard. This is bethany, my daughter, she was attacked on the 12th Of April Last year. We rang 999 while she was being attacked. While she was on the phone to myself, nobody appeared, they never arrived for 48 hours. Lisa says it took weeks for the attackers to be arrested. The doctor said one more stamp to the head would have most likely took her life. We have spoken to eight parents in chorley whose children have been assaulted. Screaming. All of the attacks were filmed and posted on social media. Jade, like all the parents we feature, wants us to show the attacks on their children. After ringing police, jade says it took two weeks for an officer to visit the family. It is horrific, watching that. I feel like shesjust a baby, and thats your baby on that floor. Im just so angry with them. Jade says she was told officers would only arrest the attackers if alicias injuries were more severe, like brain damage. They are not just attacking 11 year old kids, but members of the public, bars, pubs. If theyd reined it in, none of this would have happened. Lianas daughter was attacked on the same day in the same park by the same group. She went straight to Chorley Police station. I thought if i take her straight there, for evidence, things like that, its all there for them. I got there, went to the counter and said, we need to see a Police Officer, my daughter has been assaulted, shes 11 years of age. And then he said to me that there was no Police Officer available at the time. To do anything. I was gobsmacked. In disbelief, really. Tonis son suffered one of the worst attacks. She says she has had to repeatedly ask police for updates. Itjust makes me feel sick that they did that to my child. Four months on, her son is still waiting for an outcome. He could have come home a lot worse. He could have not come home. Theres plenty of parents that want to take this into their own hands, and at this point obviously havent done, and im glad they havent done, but something has to give. Before a family will end up ruined. And this is where it has ended up for some in the park where children were attacked, parents on patrol. Can you believe it has come to this . I cant, but i understand why it has because our children are not being protected. Ive got to make sure if my daughter is down here, that i do the police� s job and make sure shes 0k. Modern policing is nonexistent. They need to go back to policing the way it should have been, more Police Patrols on the streets, quicker response times. What message do you want to send . Look at what we are having to resort to. We entrust the police to be there to protect our children and because they cant do that, were going to have to do it. It is up to the parents to try to do it. You should always turn to the police, though. You should always ring 999. Yeah, and thats what we have done but what good has it done us . In response, Lancashire Police said it has supported all the mothers involved, arrested the offenders and dealt with them in line with national guidelines, and that they are proud of their approach to policing in chorley. A shocking report by ed thomas. Some very brave people took part in that report. When people watch that across the uk, are they right to think that this is a localised issue, or that that kind of problem in terms of Police Response or lack of it is replicated elsewhere . Context is important here. This is chorley, one towns story. But since we have been looking into this over the past few months, we have been contacted by dozens and dozens of people who feel let down when they have reported a crime, but a burglary, be it car theft or anti social behaviour. Today, a warning in a report from the policy exchange. They say british policing does not have the capacity to tackle modern issues. This is a problem, huw, because what we had again and again in chorley and elsewhere is that when people ring 999, they have a basic expectation that the police will arrive, and unwritten social contract. But again, Lancashire Police say in an emergency, you should always ring 999. Ed thomas, our secial should always ring 999. Ed thomas, our special correspondent. As we mentioned, tonight was the final hustings meeting for the two candidates racing to succeed borisjohnson as Conservative Leader and prime minster. Liz truss and rishi sunak appeared before a crowd of 6000 Party Members at Wembley Arena. The results of the vote will be announced next monday. 0ur Political Editor chris mason watched tonights exchanges. The road to number ten through a long, hot summer. Posters and smiles, handshakes and photos, road trips of persuasion running the country the prize. Were nearly there.

Incoming Prime Ministers are usually seen at Buckingham Palace, and this is the first time in the queens long reign that the location has changed. 0ur royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell is here. Of course there is interest in the tradition and breaks with tradition, nick, but possibly more interest in why it has happened . Yes. Nick, but possibly more interest in why it has happened .

As we know, that is somewhere where Buckingham Palace does not want to go. It is extremely circumspect about any question concerning her health. They regard it essentially as a private matter, and a lot of people have sympathy with that point of view. About a month ago, we understood that she probably would come to london to appoint the new Prime Minister. But about ten days ago, it became apparent that it was more likely that it would take place at balmoral. We now once again have this curious phrase, episodic mobility issues, being used. There is no clarification of what that means. And of course, there needs to be certainty for the participants to make the necessary arrangements for next week. So on tuesday the 6th of september, Prime MinisterBoris Johnson will be at balmoral to tender his resignation. Moments later, either liz truss or rishi sunak, by that stage one of them will have been elected to lead the Biggest Party in the house of commons, they will have an audience with the queen and she will invite them to form a government. They will become the 15th Prime Minister of her reign. They will return to london, appoint a cabinet and stop the government. 0n london, appoint a cabinet and stop the government. On wednesday, there will be a remote meeting of the council with the queen at balmoral and any ministers who are not already members of the Privy Council will be sworn in. Will be sworn in.

Around the world, tributes have been paid to Mikhail Gorbachev, the last leader of the soviet union, who died yesterday at the age of 91. His period in power led to end of the cold war between east and west, the eventual reunification of germany, and the collapse of the vast communist soviet union. But as our russia editor Steve Rosenberg reports, the wests admiration for mr gorbachev is not widely shared in his homeland. For a man who has made such a huge impact, a tiny memorial. Mikhail gorbachev may have helped to end the cold war, but in russia, there is no major outpouring of grief at his passing. Instead, this on russian state tv. The presenter claims its the enemies of russia in other words, the west that have been praising mr gorbachev. And veiled criticism from the kremlin a spokesperson says that gorbachev had been badly wrong about the prospect of better relations with the bloodthirsty west. Many russians blame Mikhail Gorbachev for the collapse of the Soviet Empire something President Putin calls the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century. Today, Vladimir Putin sent a telegram to Mikhail Gorbachev� s family expressing his condolences. But these two leaders are polar opposites. Gorbachev was someone who tried to open up his country, give people more freedom, freedom of speech, freedom to criticise the authorities. Undeeradimir putin, critical voices are being silenced. I dont know when. But how much do russians care . Some of mr gorbachev� s closest allies are starting to wonder. All of us perhaps overestimated the attractiveness of democratic ideas and the attractiveness of the ideas of human rights and rule of law to quite a few people in russia. Apparently there are many people in this country for whom it these values are irrelevant. As for gorbachev� s legacy, that is being destroyed by the invasion of ukraine, renewed east west tension and by the kremlins crackdown on its opponents. Some here believe that todays problems are gorbachev� s fault. He failed to stop the fall of the ussr, that was a huge mistake. Marina says, i respected him. To me, he was hope and freedom. His supporters hope that one day russians will come to see that Mikhail Gorbachev was a force for good for their country and for the world. Steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow.

Giggs denied using coercive and Controlling Behaviour towards his former girlfriend kate bradl during a three year period and denied head butting her in the face and elbowing her younger sister emma in a row at his house in november 2020.

Thank you, dan roan in manchester Hundreds Of Well Wishers gathered for a vigil in liverpool tonight to remember 0livia pratt korbel. A book of remembrance was signed for the nine year old, who was shot dead in her home last week by a masked gunman. Her mother and School Friends were among those who gathered at a local church. Two men have been arrested and bailed in connection with the shooting. More dates of rail strikes have been announced. Train drivers at 12 Rail Companies are to go on strike again on 15th September in their long running dispute over pay. Another rail union, the tssa, says members at nine Train Companies and network rail will walk out on 26th september. This week we are taking a closer look at the major issues facing the next Prime Minister. Whoever he or she will be. Last night it was health care, tonight its social care. Very closely related. Alison holt, our social affairs editor, is with me to explain more. Alison . Social care is that vital help that supports working age adults with disabilities and older people in the community. The care system works differently depending on where you live in the uk, but because we are an ageing population, the new Prime Minister will find many of the pressures similar. In england, there are currently more than 540 thousand people waiting for a Care Assessment or service from their council. There are about 165,000 unfilled carejobs, nearly 10 of the workforce. Now, the government has promised an extra £5. 11 billion over three years to reform the care system with some of that money going on staffing. But a committee of mps recently estimated it would take at least another £7 billion a year to cope with existing pressures. All big numbers, but what does it mean in reality . Weve been to nottinghamshire to find out. Landermeads nursing home in nottinghamshire is full of life, and of love. It is rated outstanding for the care it gives people. They have many requests from people who want to move in here, but finding enough staff is increasingly difficult. Particularly when supermarkets or Delivery Companies pay more. I know youre quite concerned about Recruitment Costs at the minute. Like many care homes, this is a family business. Energy bills at the minute have gone through the roof. We are looking at a 300 increase in terms of cost. Ros heath and her Sonjay Arejuggling rising prices, the need to attract more staff, and council fees that dont cover the full costs. They know of three care homes which have closed locally in the last year. There doesnt seem to be any finish to it, especially energy costs. They could go up even more. In terms of recruiting staff, we are going to keep needing to do that, thats not something that is going to go away and stop being a cost. Therefore it is that constant balance of where we invest to make sure we are viable but still offering a quality service. Across nottinghamshire, the County Council now has an average of 500 people waiting for services. It has seen a 25 increase in requests for Mental Health assessments since the pandemic and a similar rise in safeguarding concerns. The councils director of Care Services says they are supporting more people than ever but it is financially very difficult. The ability for us to be able to invest in the services and the workforce in the way that we need is going to be i particularly limited and so we are very concerned that we will not be able to afford to pay for the current level of services that we have currently got as a councih but investing in care staff like leah and chloe can make a real difference to both the support someone like gladys gets. All right, gladys . And to the wider health service. Just going to do your Blood Pressure. As part of a pilot scheme, they have been trained to take clinical observations for the gp if they suspect something is wrong. So that includes, like, Blood Pressure oxygen saturations, temperature, pulse rate. If chloe is going out and doing the observations, its getting sent to a gp, then theyve got the antibiotics they need and it is preventing that trip to hospital. But for this to be introduced means better pay and training for care staff vital innovation, according to their boss. For me, the new Prime Minister. Should immediately provide funds for social care as we know that funds will not only help social care operate and perform, but also the nhs. As we know, beds are taken up in hospital because of lack of social care staffing. Now there is real fear in the care sector about the winter ahead, that time when the health and care system comes under most pressure. So many will be watching the new pm closely to see where on their list of priorities social care sits. Huw. Alison holt, thank you. Andy murray is through to the third round of the us open for the First Time Since 2016, he said after his game its the best hes felt for years. 0ur sports news correspondent laura scott was watching at flushing meadows. If andy murray is to turn back the clock, ticking off quick wins will help. A first set lasting an hour and 2a minutes wasnt the plan, nor was losing it. But a young qualifier sensing an opportunity where have british tennis fans seen that one before . Emilio nava was happy, a certain sir wasnt. But nava had never played at this level before this week. Murray, champion a decade ago, just had to be patient, waiting for the youngster� s level to drop and drop it did. Second set murray. Third set murray. Commentator 0h, genius from andy murray. Wrapping up the win in exactly three hours, he rolled into round three for the first time in six years. Im getting closer to where i want to be, and hopefully, you know, i can have a deep run here. Putting the early false alarm behind him, this was clockwork for murray, who said this is the best hes felt in years. From delightful andy murray for disappointment for harriet dart, who lost in straight sets delightful andy murray. Another brit is playing tonight, jack draper, but in all honesty, when the clock strikes seven all eyes will be on Serena Williams who has a hard match on paper again second seed anett kontaveit, but nobody is writing off one of the greats of the game in her swansong slam. Thank you, laura scott at flushing meadows. To end tonight, we have the Story Of A Man born in ghana whos had a lifetime of dealing with health problems, and yet has risen to the very summit of fashionjournalism. Since 2017, Edward Enninful has been editor in chief of British Vogue, Challenging Convention at every turn, making far more space in the magazine for black and older women. Hes been speaking to our media editor amol rajan. Edward enninful is an unlikely figure at the summit of International Fashion and media. The editor of British Vogue came to this country from ghana as a teenager seeking asylum. Black, working class, gay and beset with several Long Term Health conditions, enninful has tried to use his platform to challenge convention. For years, there was a very narrow idea of what a Fashion Model should be. Itjust didnt make sense to me, business wise or culturally, not to reflect the world we lived in. He has raised the profile of British Vogue, featuring more black and older women. You came of age at a similar time in fashion to people like Naomi Campbell and kate moss. I mean, i met kate when i was 16 and she was 1a and we went to a casting, and i remember she walked in and the. She literally charmed the whole room. Naomi always thought she was going to be a star from when she was a baby. You know, they really are who they are. Authentic. Enninful has tackled Alcohol Problems and depression. His father kicked him out of the family home for choosing fashion over the law. The pair didnt speak for 15 years. When you went to really dark places, how bad did it get before you came through . I mean, it got very bad because, imagine, here i was, you know, i lost one home which was africa, you know, came to england, then i lost a second home when i was kicked out, and then i went into the Gay Scene Thinking id found my tribe and, again, so many rejections. Youve had four eye operations. I never had good eyesight anyway, i always had sort of 10 glasses, and i had four retinal detachments, foursurgeries, each time meant three weeks staring out of the ground. At the ground. But what i also learned from the period, you dont need Perfect Vision to create. Rumours abound that he is the favourite to succeed anna wintour, another brit, as the editor of american vogue. All i can tell you is im so happy doing what im doing right now, working with British Vogue, also overseeing other european vogues. It would still be a pretty good job, wouldnt it . Have you talked to anna . Thats not fair. Amol rajan, bbc news. Time for a look at the weather. Heres matt taylor. Meteorological speaking, the sun has set on summer at last, and what a summer, exceptionally dry and hot. As we turned the weather pages to alternate looks like nature will take its cue. Look at the Pressure Chart heading into the start of this weekend, with its Thundery Rain and strong winds, a big area of low pressure on the scene, have not seen that for a while, bands of heavy, plunge with rain. Low pressure will spin around the low and could intensify the wind strength. That is one thing to watch out for. Fairly quiet across the northern half of the country and in later winds it could be chilly, a feel of alternate the air tomorrow. Much
