a police chief has been sacked for gross misconduct after lying about his military career. nick adderley, who was the chief constable of northamptonshire, wore a falklands war medal on his police uniform, even though he was only 15 at the time of the conflict, and exaggerated his achievements in the navy. our midlands correspondent navteonhal reports. the most senior police officer in his force dismissed for lying. until today, nick adderley was the chief constable of northamptonshire police, but a gross misconduct hearing found he lied about his career to get the job. he claimed he had been a military negotiator in haiti, even though he'd never visited the country, had attended the prestigious britannia royal naval college, despite his application being rejected, and implied that he had served in the falklands war, despite being 15 at the time. all the allegations against him were upheld. how did someone like this slip through the net? ido find i do find it extraordinary that he felt that was an appropriate way to behave. it wasn't at all. and he didn't need to. he was a man with a really good reputation for policing. nick adderley also wore this, a south atlantic medal given to falklands war veterans, which was described by a medal expert as 110% a fake. in some countries, it is illegal to do what he's done, and perhaps that might come through now to be an act of parliament, that you cannot impersonate. are you ashamed of him? i'm not ashamed of him, no. he should be ashamed of himself. in its findings, the three—person panel said nick adderley had lied with arrogant temerity, had displayed sustained brazen dishonesty, and that his application for the drop contained lie upon lie. dishonesty, and that his application for thejob contained lie upon lie. despite being instructed to do so, nick adderley did not attend court today, but in a statement, he said that he apologised unreservedly to the veterans he had offended. but the panel did note that this incident will cause lasting harm to the police. navteonhal, bbc news, northampton. rescue teams searching for a british teenager missing in tenerife have been focusing on a ravine. 19—year—old jay slater hasn't been heard from since monday morning. no trace of him has been found, despite the use of drones, dogs and a helicopter. in his home town in lancashire, people have been tying blue ribbons, hoping for his safe return. nick garnett reports. in the lancashire town of oswaldtwistle, blue ribbons of hope for one of their own. churches offering prayers forjay and his family, but this is a town left feeling helpless. there's not much obviously we can do over here while they're over there searching, so obviouslyjust the blue ribbons and stuff is just to show the family that, as a community, we are all thinking and praying for them. yeah, it is quite upsetting if i never see him again, do you know what i mean? it's been 4—5 days now, hasn't it, which is a long time, _ a long time to be lost. from north—west england to the north—west of tenerife, and in the mountains, the search goes on. the 19—year—old had visited this rental apartment with two men he'd met at a festival, and as he left, he spoke to the last person to see him. she saw jay on the day he disappeared. he asked what time the bus came. she said ten o'clock, and he started to walk up the hill. and she went driving later on and saw him about a kilometre from here, said he was walking fine. when i asked what she thought had happened to him, she said, "i just hope he's 0k." jay slater was due to fly home today at the end of his holiday, but there is still no sign of him. this unforgiving landscape refusing to give up this secret. nick garnett, bbc news, tenerife. a gang of cyber criminals which has been targeting hospitals has published data stolen from an nhs blood testing company. two health trusts in london have had to cancel thousands of operations and appointments as result — our health editor hugh pym is here. so, hugh, how worried should we be? the theft and publication of data from a company or a public corporation is always worrying. when it comes to nhs data, which is sacrosanct, it is particularly concerning. nhs officials are working with cyber experts to try to verify exactly what is in the stolen files. no further information has been given. the bbc�*s cyber correspondent says patient names, dates of birth and nhs numbers can be seen. nhs england say that e—mail system has not been affected, but they are urging people who have received unexpected or suspicious e—mails to be very cautious. they have set up a helpline. when it comes to the trusts involved, guy's and saint thomas and king's college hospital, they have been seriously affected, along with gp practices in south—east london because the disruption to blood supplies. here is the message tonight from nhs officials. services have been disrupted, mainly planned services such as operations and outpatients' appointments. and i'm very sorry to those patients whose appointments have had to be rescheduled, but i know that nhs working round—the—clock to make sure that those are rescheduled as quickly as possible. nhs england adds that emergency services are running as normal, but they say a restoration of services and the it systems could take some weeks. . ~ and the it systems could take some weeks. ., ~ , ., and the it systems could take some weeks. . ~' , ., , and the it systems could take some weeks. ., ~ , ., , . and the it systems could take some weeks. ., ~ i. , . ., weeks. here, thank you very much for now. huh weeks. here, thank you very much for nova hugh pym- _ now, the bbc news at six and ten is travelling around the uk during this general election campaign — let'sjoin reeta now in greenock in inverclyde. hello from one of the seats which is a key battleground here in scotland between the snp and labour. with a fortnight to go before the poll, we'll be looking tonight at scotland's political landscape and how it might change after polling day. in the last general election in 2019, the snp dominated, winning 48 seats at westminster. trailing far behind, the conservatives gained a total of six mps across scotland, the liberal democrats had four, leaving labour almost wiped out with just a single mp in a scottish seat. this time around, boundary changes mean there'll be two fewer parliamentary seats in scotland than at the last election. in a moment, we'll be hearing from our scotland editorjames cook, and later i'll be finding out if it's election or euros fever sweeping the nation. but first, our political editor chris mason reports from the newly created constituency of lothian east where an old name is hoping for success. a name, a face that mightjust be familiar. douglas alexander was a labour cabinet officer but were swept away in the snp landslide in scotland in 2015. now he's back. politics looks like many things, but this is it at its core. pavement persuasion. how different is it fuel from when you are last year?

we highlands but what about the country as a whole? ~ ., highlands but what about the country as a whole? ~ . ., as a whole? we heard about the cost of livin: as a whole? we heard about the cost of living and — as a whole? we heard about the cost of living and that _ as a whole? we heard about the cost of living and that is _ as a whole? we heard about the cost of living and that is the _ as a whole? we heard about the cost of living and that is the big _ of living and that is the big concern, notjust in the highlands but other parts of the uk and indeed in scotland. it is particularly a problem in the highlands because of energy bills. it can take a lot more money to heat homes in the highlands. fuel bills for cars can be higher because the distances people are travelling longer but really, as i say, the issues are pretty much the same as they are, they will be familiar to many people watching around the country about the economy, the public services, the economy, the public services, the funding of public services and the funding of public services and the welfare budget. here in scotland, when you have those conversations, they quickly become conversations, they quickly become conversations about structure in politics, about whether we have the right economic system and the right constitutional system, whether people are talking about capitalism, brexit, independent, obviously, it is that the voters to decide whether we do have the right system and indeed whether those are relevant at all at this election.— all at this election. james, thank ou ve all at this election. james, thank you very much- _ all at this election. james, thank you very much. chris, _ all at this election. james, thank you very much. chris, does - all at this election. james, thank you very much. chris, does th
