Before we move on, i want to take you back to the scene in derby at the crown court because we just had that verdict a little earlier and the police approaching the microphones and statements after the end of that trial. I will put the microphones up and lets hear the reaction to what we heard in court. I am a Detective Inspector with major crime and im about to make a statement in regard to the merger of jacob crouch. Jacob crouch is born into a culture of cruelty where both of the people he should have been able to trust above any other allowed him to be subjected to assault after assault. Heartbreakingly during his short life he would have been insignificant pain. It is clearfrom the evidence found on gemma barton and craig crouch� s phones, through text messages, videos and Audio Recordings they were equally responsible for the culture of cruelty inflicted on baby jacob. Responsible for the culture of cruelty inflicted on babyjacob. As a father i cannot comprehend what happened Behind Closed Doors and my thoughts remain with jacobs wider family who have been left devastated by his death. I hope the verdict today brings a degree of closure for them and begins the process of them being able to grieve forjacob and remember their happy times with a much loved child. Thank you.

Absolutely, dealing with such a and tragic case . Absolutely, every officer is touched by every death but when a child so young is involved, it is emotive and not a nice place to be to deal with, and all of the officers have acted with absolute dignity, and this verdict is a credit to them. I think some of the things we heard in court, i dont think anybody could be left in any doubt, anybody who has any humanity, how they should feel about craig crouch and gemma barton. 0k, thank you. Studio the briefest of gemma barton. Ok, thank you. Studio the briefest of statements from the detective investigator, and you can get a sense ofjust the shock, at the conclusion of that case, talking about the heartbreak as the details of assault after assault on babyjacob crouch. He said they were equally responsible for the culture of cruelty and ended the initial statement saying their thoughts were with the wider family and the devastation in terms of what they actually heard through the court, and said craig crouch, the stepfather, and gemma barton had no remorse at all in the courthouse. Our correspondence has been there, across this case in its entirety. Lets go back to him because this case just concluding with the guilty verdict of the stepfather craig crouch and also the verdict against the mother gemma burton. Barton. The briefest of statements from the police but you can hear in every element of what he said, the shock of the details that have been heard over the last few days. It was plain in the tone of his voice, he has worked with Derbyshire Police for a long time and has no doubt doubtless some horrible cases but there was a real emotion in what he said, even though it wasnt a great deal to add to what we have already heard today. I have seen other officers wiping away a tear and Family Members in court in tears today. It is, i am afraid, another case where adults who are in a position of care, who have a duty to look after a young child, has let the child down to the point where they have inflicted severe cruelty, some absolutely appalling things to the point that that child has died and then they try to cover it up and pretended they knew nothing about what had happened, try to lie when they were questioned about all of those injuries that we know jacob suffered. 39 rib fractures, 19 visible bruises, the Perforated Bowel that led to the fatal infection. And neither of them are willing to say what happened. They managed to maintain this facade of being a happy family, possibly able to do that because this was all happening in 2020, during the height of the pandemic when there were various lockdown and less contact between people. Until they made that 909, five days after christmas in 2020, saying they had discovered a lifeless body. It was a week later they were arrested on suspicion of murder. Craig crouch was convicted today, gemma barton was cleared of murder and manslaughter but convicted of causing or allowing the death of a child. Both will be back on friday for a sentencing hearing, but it may be picking cannot be sentenced on friday and it may have to be adjourned to a later date. What about Child Protection services . Interesting, often we hear in these cases there had been a lot of contact. In this case it appears there wasnt. Nonetheless there is a safeguarding review, that as i was triggered when there has been a death of a young child in a situation like this. They carried out a review, there is a new policy which has been brought in as a result of not just which has been brought in as a result of notjust this case but others around the country, to make people more aware of signs to look out for. We havent seen the full safeguarding review, it will be interesting to read what was found on whether or not there had been any opportunities that were missed. It does appear in this case they were able to put on an impression of being a happy, doting parents, whereas in reality Behind Closed Doors, during those lockdowns, they were carrying out horrendous physical abuse. Thank you very much for that. The authorities in the canadian province of British Columbia are struggling to control a huge wildfire close to the border with the United States. Some residents who were evacuated have been allowed back to their homes. They said their gardens and Swimming Pools had been filled with ash. Its canadas worst Wildfire Season on record, with fires continuing to spread across parts of the pacific northwest. Lets talk now to professor Michael Flannigan from Thompson Rivers university in British Columbia. He specialises in fire and weather climate interactions. Thank you for being here on the programme, start by describing a little more aboutjust how fierce and intense these wildfires are. It and intense these wildfires are. It is an exceptional year, an extreme year, and extremely, uncharted territory. We burned an area the size of england already, which is almost double the previous record which was 1989, we have seen virus from sea to sea to sea, high intensity fires, smoke being produced, travelling all the way to europe. And of course the Eastern Seaboard in the United States, even if the fire is not at your doorstep it has been impacting millions it has been impacting millions and if the fire is not at your doorstep it has been impacting millions and millions of people.

Consistent with human caused it is so bad this year . This is consistent with human caused climate change. In canada we have seen a doubling of area burned since the 70s, in the western United States it is more dramatic, a four times increase. It is because a warmer world means more fire, simply put the warmer we are, the longer our fire seasons are, the more lighting we see an lightning is a really important aspect of the fire situation in canada. Half of our fires started by lightning, but they are responsible for about 90 of the area burned. And if third reason, the atmosphere as it warms, gets more efficient in sucking the moisture out of those fields, the dead fuels, vegetation on the forest floor, grass, needles, leaves. That means it is easierfor a floor, grass, needles, leaves. That means it is easier for a fire to start and spread, and means more fuels of vegetation is available to burn, leading to higher intensity fires that are difficult to extinguish. We are driven by extreme fire weather, 3 of the virus, 97 of the area burned. This happens on a relatively small number of days of extreme fire weather, hot, dry and windy.

Primarily in Southeast Asia due to persistent peat fires that are burning. But it is a significant human health aspect, you can be in downtown new york and your place isnt going to burn down from Wildland Fire but your quality of life can be impacted four weeks because of smoke from 1000 kilometres away.

J as ukraine continues to make small gains on various fronts across the east and south of the country, its also battling a second, but no less aggressive frontline in the form of russian propaganda. While disinformation has been used as a tactic since the war started back in 2014 when moscow annexed crimea, its become increasingly targeted, honing in on female ukrainian soldiers on the front line, in particular. Olga malchevska travelled to ukraine to investigate and sent this report. Small steps on the road to recovery. My name is andriana. Im a soldier, servicewoman. A female soldier and a special unit markswoman. Adriana is one of the best known members of Ukrainian Armed forces. Her unit drove over a landmine last december. Russian media reported she had been killed, describing her death in graphic detail and calling her a ukrainian nazi. But we have tracked her down in ukraine, in a hospital. We cant disclose its location for her safety. Shes alive and not surprised by the russian news. They published that i am without legs and without hands. And like, i was killed by them. They are professionals in propaganda. I am alive and i will protect my country. Adriana, like many other ukrainians, joined the Volunteer Battalion when russia invaded ukraine back in 2014. She spent a year with the battalion, which, like many of the others, was subsequently subsumed into the official army. Although not militarily trained she showed strong combat skills, including shooting. When you are on the front line and when you see a target, how do you feel about it . Is it a target or a person . It depends on the situation. Sometimes its a person because they are people. But if it will not be for me a target, i will be a target for them. Its a scenario shared by many in this hospital here.
