Still understanding that so many people are suffering. There was a lot about the people are suffering. There was a lot about the challenges people are suffering. There was a lot about the challenges faced people are suffering. There was a lot about the challenges faced by| lot about the challenges faced by young families, an area the princess of wales has worked on, something her husband mentioned. Containing all the speculation is impossible for the team around the prince and princess of wales. The footage from the farm shop will dampen some of the more outlandish theories but things will not feel anything like normal again until the princess of wales returns to the routine of royal duty after easter. The rumours and gossip were off the agenda today, replaced perhaps by a sense of relief. That a regular royal engagement went off smoothly amidst speculation that wont quite go away. Our social media correspondent Marianna Spring is here the striking thing about this story today is that royal sources are having to confirm it is the princess in this footage. Yes, and that is because, in particular if you are someone who uses social media, you are likely to have encountered the very frenzied online conversation about the princess of wales and there have been people asking genuine question who are concerned and want details but also these more extreme Conspiracy Theories including one that was spreading today suggesting that was spreading today suggesting that this was not really kate but instead a body double or an impersonator. That is entirely false but nonetheless, when i woke up this morning, it was the first thing recommended to me by the algorithm, the Computer Generated systems on both tiktok and x and i look at some of those recommended videos and they accumulated more than 12 million views according to their data and more than 11 million on to hole it is a lot. These kind of Social Media Frenzy is a down to a vacuum of information in the media can exacerbate them but nonetheless it is a serious question about the roles of Social Media Site in this kind of content which is coming from all over the world, australia, germany, the uk and us. According to tiktok, in the guidelines, they dont allow misleading or false content that may cause significant harm to individuals or society regardless of the attempt. X did not get back to me but they said depending people is one of its core values. ~ ,. , a man has become the first person to be found guilty of the new offence of � Cyber Flashing in england and wales. Nicholas hawkes from essex was sentenced to more than a year in prison after pleading guilty to sending unsolicited, explicit photos to a 15 Year Old Girl and a woman. Sanchia berg reports. It has happened to many thousands of women and girls. Without warning, a photo appears on their phone or their computer. Explicit, shocking, and unwanted. And unwanted. Cyberflashing and these other and unwanted. Cyberflashing and these other forms and unwanted. Cyberflashing and these other forms of and unwanted. Cyberflashing and these other forms of violence these other forms of violence against women and girls has significant and profound impacts to women and girls sense of safety and well being, their sense of being able to operate in the online world. Seven weeks ago, sending images like those became a criminal offence and today at southend crown court, the first person was jailed for Cyber Flashing. Nicholas hawkes admitted sending it to stop his genitals to a teenage girl and a woman in her 60s sending pictures. The court heard he suffered from extreme Poster Medic Stress Disorder after being kidnapped and tortured some years ago. His barrister said he got no sexual gratification from sending those images. Thejudge did not accept that. The lord chancellor Alex Chalk Casey said. Hoff alex chalk kc. Many hoped this conviction will give victims renewed confidence. It is many hoped this conviction will give victims renewed confidence. Victims renewed confidence. It is so im Ortant Victims renewed confidence. It is so important that victims renewed confidence. It is so important that the victims renewed confidence. It is so important that the state victims renewed confidence. It is so important that the state shows victims renewed confidence. It is so i important that the state shows women and girls that they are on their side, that violence against women and girls is not acceptable and will not be tolerated.

This prosecution was straightforward, as acceptable. This prosecution was straightforward, as nicholas acceptable. This prosecution was. Straightforward, as Nicholas Hawkes pleaded guilty, but campaigners warned future cases might be more difficult as, according to the law, prosecutors need to show those sending the images intended to cause alarm or distress, or gain sexual gratification. The first conviction for Cyber Flashing in england and wales. It has been a crime in scotland since 2010. Do we expect to see a lot more . The cps have been asking people who have been victims of this crime to come forward and they say they are very determined to bring forward more cases. Certainly essex police invested in a unit to investigate this case and others so some Police Forces are also taking it very seriously so there may well be more cases but fundamentally i think many people i have been speaking to today say this is a symbolic thing, it is a sign as thejustice secretary was saying, that this is not a bit of fun, something lightweight, its a very serious act that could land you in prison. Symbolic in the hope that notjust it reassures women that action will be taken but it makes men who might be sending these images of thinking of it, think again. Images of thinking of it, think aaain. ~ images of thinking of it, think aaain. , ~ , the us Secretary Of State says gazas entire 2 million population is experiencing severe levels of acute food insecurity, meaning their lives are in danger because they cant consume an adequate level of food. Antony blinken said this was the first time an entire population had been classified in this way and has called on israel to prioritise providing help for those in need.

Thousands of new Electricity Pylons are needed across the uk to Connect Offshore Wind Farms to the National Grid and make britains Energy System greener. Thats according to the National Grid, which says the extra power lines as well as Underwater Cabling will cost almost £60 billion, and customers will have to foot part of the cost with a rise in electricity bills. Heres our business editor, simonjack. Green, cheap, home grown. Offshore wind has been a massive british Success Story and more huge wind farms are planned to Decarbonise Uk electricity and make it less reliant on imported fossil fuels. But you need to get the electricity from where its produced out at sea back onshore to where its used. The current grid is not ready for that and needs a massive rewiring. Here is what is needed over the next decade. According to the people who will manage the uks power grid. In green, those are the wind farms that will be there in 2035, as you can see, clustered around the east coast of scotland and the east coast of england. In blue, 4000 miles of subsea cables, moving the power around the coast. And then in red, 1000 miles of onshore power lines cutting through scotland, north west england, wales, east anglia and here in essex. A 100 mile stretch of pylons from norfolk to the outskirts of london will run right through these blackcurrant fields in rural essex. 0pponents say there are better ways and vow to fight the proposals. We have never had options. We have been told pylons, pylons or pylons, down a certain route, even if we know there are Better Options for the country as a whole, notjust for us. This is nimbyism, isnt it . I think we need to see all the best, modern solutions looked at, not this Dinosaur Technology of the past. Pylons are the technology of yesteryear.
