Correspondent frank gardner. Homs is roughly halfway up the country, it is under government control, it is a fairly major city. This is a Military Academy near the centre of town were Officer Cadets were graduating. Theirfamilies had come to watch them. It was supposed to be a proud moment. The Syrian Defence minister was attending the ceremony, but when it entered he left ten minutes later this multiple drone attack came out of nowhere. It was clearly at carefully planned and precisely targeted attack which is making a lot of people rather curious as to how this could have happened because there is no precedent for this amongstjihadist precedent for this amongst jihadist groups, well, precedent for this amongstjihadist groups, well, a small precedent, in 2017, but it has been a very long time since anyone done anything like this. These are multiple drones, believed to be iranian made. The iranians are the allies of the Syrian Government regime. Nevertheless, the Syrian Government has retaliated quickly, hating rebel held areas in the north of the country. This is probably the biggest death toll for many, many months in a single attack in Syria Pass Back in syrias rumbling civil war. Pass back in syrias rumbling civil war. ~. , h, civilwar.

This is a separate issue. Turkey is engaged in an issue. Turkey is engaged in an ongoing struggle with the pkk, which it considers to be a terrorist organisation, many consider to be a terrorist organisation. It is a kurdish independence movement. The pkk is a light to some of the Syrian Kurdish groups that america uses as its allies in the north of syria to hold back isis. That makes things very complicated. You have essentially got turkish warplanes attack on kurdish basis. Some of those kurdish bases over time have been americas allies. It is an immensely complicated picture in syria and it is very sad because it is a fantastic, delightful country with amazing people, food and culture, but it has been ripped apart by the civil war that has been going on since 2011. We dont see much of it in the news these days because it has died down. In russia came eight years ago to syrias defence, to prop up the regime, both russia and iran came to prop up that regime, turned back the tide of the rebels. Since then, we dont see that much of it, but it goes on. Even america has a stake in this. They have Special Forces bases in these difficult tree and from time to time to carry out their own Drone Strikes and air strikes on isis and alqaeda positions in the north west of the country. Thank you. We will take you now live to spain, european leaders, there is the Prime Minister of italy, attending a summit where lots of issues have been on the table. There issues have been on the table. There is emmanuel macron, as well. They have been talking about migration is one of the most pressing issues facing the continent. Also funding for the war in ukraine. A huge amount of concern that america might be wrong back on some of its commitments, particularly as the president ial election heats up in america. Donald trump is known to want to withdraw some of the funding to ukraine. Other issues such as Climate Change on the table, too. This is a final Photo Opportunity for the european leaders that have gathered in spain to tackle some of those pressing issues. The uk labour leader, sir keir starmer, described his partys win in a by election in scotland as a seismic result. Labour received more than twice the number of votes than those of the Scottish National party, which had held the seat of rutherglen and Hamilton West. Labour candidate Michael Shanks won just under 18,000 votes. The snp� s katy loudon came in second. The labour share of the vote is up 2a points, almost as high as it was in 2010, before the snp virtually wiped them out in scotland. Thats a swing from snp to labour of slightly more than 20 . The Scottish Labour leader, anas sarwar, said he believes the result shows that scottish politics has fundamentally changed. Live now to katrine bussey, the scottish Political Editor at the press association. Were you surprised by the size of the Labour Victory . I were you surprised by the size of the Labour Victory . The Labour Victory . I think everybody. The Labour Victory . I think everybody, labour the Labour Victory . I think. Everybody, labour included, the Labour Victory . I think everybody, labour included, were surprised by the size of their victory. This has been a real two horse race between labour and the snp, but as Sirjohn Curtis said this morning, this may have been a two horse race but there was one clear winner, and that was Scottish Labour. ~. ,. ,. , labour.

This was a by election fort in particular circumstances after the ousting of margaret ferrier, the mp who won the seat for the snp, then had the party whip removed from her after she broke covid rules in 2020. She sat on as an independent mp despite lots of people in her constituency say she should have stepped down. She was eventually removed after being suspended from the house of commons. And sure those circumstances will have played into it. There will also be some dissatisfaction with the snp, who have been in powerfor 16 years, and we are seeing the same issues that we are seeing the same issues that we are seeing in england, problems with the health service, problems in schools, problems with policing and justice. We are seeing these issues. There will also be some dissatisfaction with the snp. Hamza yusuf has had a really difficult start to his time as leader. He took overin start to his time as leader. He took over in march after Nicola Sturgeon stood down really suddenly after a bitter, divisive Leadership Campaign for the party. Since then we have seen the drama of the Police Investigation into the partys finances, which resulted in Nicola Sturgeon� s being searched. All these things will have played into last nights results. Things will have played into last nights results. What do you read into what was nights results.

I think, yes, the snp will seek to take some snp will seek to take some consolation from the fact that there has been a low turnout, but i think the scale of the victory for labour shows that there are problems with the party. During the campaign, hamza yusuf, who campaigned really heavily in this constituency, was out several times without the camp with the candidate, saying that if the snp did not win the seat the buck. With him. There are questions around his leadership now. Its often referred to as � the Innocence Tax the huge legal defence fees paid by thousands of people accused of a crime, even if theyre found not guilty. In england and wales, legal aid is only available to those who have a household Disposable Income of less than £37,000. Nick garnett met brian buckle in pembrokeshire, who spent six years and hundreds of thousands of pounds clearing his name. When i was put in the cell, i just sat there all night and just cried and cried. Sentanced to 15 years after being wrongfully convicted. At that point, you realise youre a convicted sex offender. Yes. Yeah. It would take brian buckle six years to clear his name and it had a huge emotional and Financial Impact on him and his family. Weve spent over half a million pounds, thats what its cost us. All our savings gone, every single penny. Brian is a victim of what some people call the � Innocence Tax�. Each year, thousands of people go to court and are found not guilty of the crimes that theyre charged with. Many of those arent eligible for help with their legal costs. If you earn very modest amounts, you dont get legal aid, so you then have to fund yourself. You are innocent and youre taxed by the state. You have to pay for your defence when you shouldnt have, i would say. We started straight away getting the appeal. Brians auntie, mum and wife united to prove his innocence. We didnt know where to start. Not a clue. Hours, days, weeks of painstaking work to build a case. We could only work, first of all, on the statements that we already had. Elaine felt the weight of justice was on their shoulders. Youre guilty until you prove yourself innocent and its i you who has to do the work. One of britains most senior legal figures has written a report on false allegations and believes theres a weakness in the system. Police officers, as soon as they find some evidence that tends to support an allegation, a charge follows and the investigative process ceases. That is wrong. And its also weaknesses in the legal system can also affect victims of crime. Support groups say that the number of allegations that make it to court is tiny compared to the number that actually get made to the police. Convicted of 16 charges against a child, brian spent over five years in prison. He felt totally isolated. It was hard. Youre sitting in there with real Sex Offenders and you hear some horrendous stories and you hear People Gloating and itjust makes your blood boil. The family used loans, savings and inheritance to pay for a specialist legal and forensics team. They uncovered new dna evidence. I said, i dont care what we do, how much it costs, we have got to prove his innocence. Brian was finally granted a Court Of Appeal hearing. He watched on a video link from prison as the judges made their decision. Clerk of the courts came out. He said to me, mr buckle, do you know whats happening here now . And i said, no, not really. Youre instant release. , he said, youre going home. I was like. What . All 16 verdicts were quashed that day. I know that you never did it. And eight months later, when the case went to a retrial, brian was found not guilty of all charges. Georgia and your mum and your auntie, they came then and we went big hugging all each other. The courts granted Lifetime Anonymity to his accuser because they were sex abuse charges. Its been an emotional roller coaster. Diagnosed with ptsd, brian was left facing damage to his mental health. Im not the old brian buckle. I know i need help and i need counseling, but its trying to find. Theres no help out there for you. Nor has brian received any compensation or help with his legal fees. The government says that it is going to lift the cap on legal aid, but it might take up to two years and thats too late for brian. Let me ask you what the cost of your innocence has been . Time with each other, life. I missed my daughters 18th birthday. 21st. Her dad taking herfor her first driving lesson. Ive missed that. Its been a lot. Beautiful day. Brian now makes every day count. With elaine and georgia. If i can help other people that are going through this, thats what i want to do. If i didnt have the Family Support me, id be still in prison an innocent man. I wouldnt be here now. Around the world and across the uk. This is bbc news. Bbc news, bringing stories from across the uk. A stunning backdrop to the war memorial abertillery. The cenotaph stood here for decades but now a new mural has got everyone talking. It was painted by the artist tee2sugars. The response i have had off this has just been astronomical, its been crazy. I think it is because of what it symbolises, people giving their lives for what we have today. The man who came up with the idea was a local businessman bob smith when he was at the towns Remembrance DayService Two Years ago, with the old wall looking tired. The render was cracked, black patches all over it. Quite depressing. And itjust struck me to make an ugly thing suitable mural on the. The mural is now complete and will be the focal point for remembrance event next month. The community now hope it will be a place to gather for generations to come.

When a tropical turtle was found washed up malnourished and dehydrated on a beach in scotland in january 2022, nobody expected her to survive. Now, after being nursed back to health, iona has been released into the atlantic. Graham satchell tells her story. Iona the turtle these her final moments in captivity before being released into the wild. She is alive today because of the kindness of strangers and has come on a remarkable journey to get to this point. The Loggerhead Turtle was found in january last year. Covered in sand, she was dehydrated, malnourished, barely alive. Jane, who found her, gave her the name iona. Its the island off the west coast of scotland where shed landed. Iona was taken to the Sea Life Centre in loch lomond, where a team of experts started her recovery. She was then moved to scarborough, where she made gradual and steady progress, putting on more than ten times the weight she had when she was found. Most Loggerhead Turtles start their life in the gulf of mexico. Its thought iona may have been carried on the gulf stream to the inner hebrides. After spending time at sealife centres in scotland and then in scarborough, this week she was flown to the azores in the atlantic to be released into the wild. On the quayside, time for one last quick clean before being taken on to a small boat and fitted with a tracking device. When everybody� s ready. And then, finally, the moment of freedom. It was a really lovely feeling to see her kind ofjust go off into the big blue. And i think the biggest thing, that apprehension really of kind of whats going to happen to her wheres she going to go now. But i know that the part that weve all played has given her the best chances that we can do in the wild. Iona was the smallest turtle to be found alive in the uk. Today, thanks to a small army of helpers, she is fully grown and back in the wild. Graham satchell, bbc news.
