Sentencing law gives an enormous amount of discretion to | an enormous amount of discretion to judges and magistrates, and while on paper the maximum sentence is ten years, in Actualfact Paper the maximum sentence is ten years, in actual fact the possession of images in The Grand Scheme of Things is a relatively small number of images compared to other cases, so the Starting Point was going to be much lower, in this case about a year, that is completely standard. That is then discounted by the Chief Magistrate for the early guilty plea, for the mitigation around Huw Edwards ale mental health, and any us to take into account whether he poses an enduring danger to the public, is there a risk there . In this case, the Chief Magistrate concluded he could be safely managed in the community, so the necessity to send him to prison is removed, and therefore in that decision the logical place for the judge to end up, and his calculation, was a Jail Sentence but suspended for two years as a warning, but around that a very tight package of measures, Sex Offender Treatment Programme and register.

After an apparent second attempt in two months on the Life of Donald Trump, a man, Ryan Routh, has appeared in court in florida. Yesterday, secret Service Agents opened fire on a gunman at a Golf Course where the former president was playing after an Assault Rifle was spotted. Mrtrump was unharmed. 0ur North America editor, Sarah Smith, has the latest from florida. This is the moment officers ordered Ryan Routh out of his car, hands above his head, before he was swiftly handcuffed and arrested. The 58 year old had spent over 12 hours waiting for Donald Trump. Two years ago, he spoke to newsweek from ukraine about his attempt to recruit volunteers to fight invading russian forces. If the governments will not send their official military, then we civilians have to pick up the torch and make this thing happen. In one Social Media post, he said he was prepared to die in ukraine. In another, he mentioned voting for Donald Trump in 2016 but claims to have become disillusioned. Donald trump was playing golf on his own course when secret Service Agent spotted a Rifle Muzzle sticking out of the bushes. Agents opened fire, four orfive times, and the suspect fled the scene. But how did he get so close to former President Trump . At this level that he is at right now, hes not the sitting president. If he was, we would have had this entire Golf Course surrounded. But because hes not, the security is limited to the areas that the Secret Service deems possible. At the scene, two backpacks were recovered, along with a rifle and a scope and a camera. Far too close to comfort for his target. Thank god the president is ok. I think we got a full report so far. One thing i want to make clear, the service needs more help, and i think congress should respond to the need if they need more service people. Take a look at what happened. Gunshots. Since the first Assassination Attempt against Mr Trump few months ago, when he was slightly injured and one supporter was killed, his secret Service Detail has been increased, but may need to be again. He said today the suspect believed the rhetoric of biden and harris, and he acted on it, their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at when i am the one who is going to save the country and they are the ones that are destroying the country. And last Weeks President ial debate, Mr Trump appeared to blame democrats for the first attempt on his Life. I first attempt on his Life. 1 probably took a bullet to first attempt on his Life. I probably took a bullet to the head because of the Things that they say about me, they talk about democracy, im a threat to democracy. They are the threat to democracy. Stifle the threat to democracy. Vice president the threat to democracy. Vice president kamala the threat to democracy. Vice president Kamala Harris said in a statement, there is no place for political violence in our country. I have directed my team to continue to ensure the Secret Service has every resource, capability and protective measure necessary to ensure the former president s safety. Ryan routh appeared in court this morning charged with firearms offences, and he will be held in custody until a Detention Hearing next week. Hes been charged with illegal possession of a firearm, but considerably more serious charges are likely to follow, and while President Trump was apparently joking with friends shortly after this incident, that he was frustrated he hadnt been able to finish his putt because he had been playing particularly well, he has also been much more direct, more so than after the first Prison Sentence<\/a> after admitting charges of making indecent images of children, one of whom was aged between seven and nine. Edwards previously pleaded guilty to three charges after he was sent 41 illegal images by a convicted Sex Offender<\/a>.

Thank you very much, Sarah Smith<\/a> there. This second threat to Donald Trump<\/a> has intensified questions over the safety of president ial candidates. Our analysis editor, ros atkins, has been working with bbc verify and looks at how vulnerable Mr Trump<\/a> was when he was on the Golf Course<\/a> yesterday. The trump international Golf Club<\/a> spreads across 330 acres, and Donald Trump<\/a> plays there regularly. Located in West Palm Beach<\/a> in florida, the course was a ten Minute Drive<\/a> from his home at mar a lago. The clubs perimeter is more than three miles long. This is one part of it, right by a public road. There is a chain link fence. Beyond that, you can easily see the tempter. And this was the root Donald Trump<\/a> was taking during his round. Peter reached all five. He had reached. According to police, secret Service Agent<\/a>s walked one hole ahead, as a standard, and we are told those agents spotted a Rifle Sticking<\/a> out of the fence. Bbc verify has concluded it was somewhere in this area, which was later cordoned off. Police say Donald Trump<\/a> was between 300 and 500 yards away, within range of the rifle. They also released this image showing a rifle fitted with a scope, two backpacks and a Gopro Camera<\/a> attached to the fence. These events happened while Donald Trump<\/a>s safety was already under scrutiny because of a major Security Failure<\/a> injuly. At a rally in pennsylvania, a Gunman Shot<\/a> at trump, hitting easier and killing a bystander. The head of the Secret Service<\/a> resigned days later. The Secret Service<\/a> said they had increased the amount of assets protecting Donald Trump<\/a>, but Mr Trump<\/a> Isnt President<\/a> , and thats a factor. The local sheriff says, if he was, we would have had this entire Golf Course<\/a> around it. But because hes not, the security is limited to the areas that the Secret Service<\/a> deems possible. This raises questions about what is possible, and if the candidates in his president ial election can be kept safe, especially in locations they are known to visit frequently. And while americans seek answers, the authorities say the Threat Level<\/a> remains high. Ros atkins reporting there. The Prime Minister<\/a> has travelled to rome to meet his italian counterpart, giorgia meloni. Keir starmer says he is interested in learning about Italys Scheme<\/a> to send people rescued at sea to albania to process their Asylum Claims<\/a>. It comes as the uk continues its struggle to respond to the small Boat Crisis<\/a> in the english channel, which was particularly bleak over the weekend. Across saturday and sunday, there were almost 1,100 people attempting to cross the channel. So far this year, at least 45 people have died while attempting the crossing. So could the prime Ministers Trip<\/a> to italy lead to a new approach . From rome, our political correspondent Alex Forsyth<\/a> has been finding out. Looking and learning. The Prime Minister<\/a> is in rome to see how italy has managed to reduce the number of migrants travelling from north africa. This is said to be key, and try and stop people making the crossing in the first place. There have been dramatic reductions, so i want to see how that came about. It looks that is down to the upstream work on some of the countries where people are coming from. All the fanfare of a foreign visit, but these two leaders come from very difficult there were different political perspectives, though they are hoping for Common Ground<\/a> on migration. The Prime Minister<\/a> is interested in plans to process Asylum Claims<\/a> in albania, as well as financial deals italy has struck with Tunisia And Libya<\/a> to boost border security. With Tunisia And Libya<\/a> to boost bordersecurity. Here with Tunisia And Libya<\/a> to boost border security. Here in libya, they have been at the forefront of the Migration Challenge Europe<\/a> has been wrestling with for years. They have been multiple different attempts to address it, and italys latest effort in particular doing deals with the country is the migrants are coming from, seems to be working. But its approach, including the treatment of migrants in the mediterranean, and the idea of Processing Asylum<\/a> claims in albania, isnt without controversy. Human rights are among those who have raised concerns. Having scrapped the rwanda plan, Keir Starmer<\/a> is looking at alternative approaches, focusing, he says, and what works. How seriously are you looking at the prospect of sending migrants to other countries for their claims to be processed, and are you entirely comfortable with every aspect of Italys Approach<\/a> . Italys approach . I have always made the argument that preventing people leaving their country in the first place is far better than trying to deal with those that have arrived in any of our countries, so i was very interested in that, and in a sense, today was a return, if you like, to british pragmatism. Translation what we have done with albania means translation what we have done with albania means that translation what we have done with albania means that these translation what we have done with albania means that these Migrants Albania<\/a> means that these migrants will enjoy exactly the same treatment that they would have had in lampedusa.

A Public Hearing<\/a> into the titan submersible disaster, which killed all five of its passengers, has heard details of the final messages sent between the sub and the surface. The submersible imploded on a visit to the wreck of the titanic in the atlantic Ocean Injune<\/a> 2023. The hearings will assess what went wrong and whether the accident could have been prevented. 0ur Science Editor<\/a> Rebecca Morelle<\/a> is here. What have we heard . We have begun to get a real insight into some of the problems with 0ceangates titan sub. We heard about some of its expeditions to the titanic before the disaster, and over the course of 13 dies, it had experienced 118 technical problems. These included its front Nose Cone<\/a> falling off while it was being recovered from the sea, thrust is not working, and on one dive, its batteries died and passengers were stuck inside for 27 hours. Messages from its final dive will also release. Comms were a bit patchy, but the sub could send Text Messages<\/a> to the surface ship. About an hour into the dive, it sent a message saying, all good here, later another one saying it was above the titanic\ufffd s bow. At its final message was about an hour and a half into the dive. It said it had dropped to weights, and that was the last one. Comms were lost after that because the sub had imploded, but there is nothing in these messages to suggest the passengers on board knew what was going wrong. They also released an image of the wreckage of the submarine too on the sea floor. It was intact, but it was the first time we have seen that there. Much more will be released over the next two weeks. Thank you, rebecca. The time is 6. 20.

And coming up in sport on Bbc News<\/a> over 40 years after they last played in europes elite club competition, Aston Villa<\/a> prepare for their Opening Game<\/a> of this seasons champions league. Theyve been the premier Leagues Powerhouse Team<\/a> for more than a decade, and now Manchester City<\/a> is facing the biggest disciplinary case in the history of english football. An independent Commission Hearing<\/a> into alleged breaches of Premier League<\/a> financial rules kicked off today. The club faces 115 Charges<\/a>. They deny any wrongdoing, but if found guilty, possible sanctions include a fine, points deduction or even relegation. Heres our Sports Editor<\/a> dan roan. Manchester city, champions again. Theyve achieved unprecedented domination of english football. Manchester city this year becoming the first club ever to win four top Flight Titles<\/a> in a row. But off the pitch, the champions have also been fighting a catalogue of Premier League<\/a> charges over alleged financial rule breaches. Now, an independent Commission Hearing<\/a> into the case this morning, Lord Panic<\/a> kc, heading up this morning, Lord Panic<\/a> kc, heading up citys legal team, arrived for the hearing in central london. The club denies wrongdoing, and on friday, the manager addressed the issue. Brute friday, the manager addressed the issue. ~ ,. ,. ,. , issue. We believe we have not done an hint issue. We believe we have not done anything wrong. Issue. We believe we have not done anything wrong. So issue. We believe we have not done anything wrong, so we issue. We believe we have not done anything wrong, so we will issue. We believe we have not done anything wrong, so we will go issue. We believe we have not done anything wrong, so we will go to issue. We believe we have not done| anything wrong, so we will go to the independent panel, and we are going to wait. The 115 Charges<\/a> relate to 14 seasons after citys Abu Dhabi<\/a> takeover in 2008 transformed it into one of the richest clubs in the world. They include 54 counts of not providing accurate financial information, 14 counts of not providing full details for Manager And Player<\/a> payments, and 35 counts of failure to cooperate with the Premier League<\/a>s investigation. City have long denied allegations they artificially inflated Sponsorship Revenue<\/a> by Channelling Investment<\/a> from their owner via Abu Dhabi<\/a> based companies, to help it get round rules that Limit Spending<\/a> on players. Last month, the man in charge of the Premier League<\/a> told me a case that had been dragging on for years was finally nearing a conclusion. We have a big, thick rule book, and part of any Sporting Competition<\/a> is a central commitment to uphold those rules, and while it creates difficulties, there is no happy alternative to enforcing rules. Everton were hit with Points Deductions<\/a> for Breaching Financial Rules<\/a> last season, and city could be looking at a similar punishment or even expulsion from the league if found guilty of the most serious charges. I think it would be a Sporting Disaster<\/a> i think it would be a Sporting Disaster<\/a> if The Club<\/a> were found guilty disaster if The Club<\/a> were found guilty at disaster if The Club<\/a> were found guilty at the end, because Pep Guardiola<\/a> and The Club<\/a> have done a Wonderful Guardiola<\/a> and The Club<\/a> have done a wonderful thing, the football they play and wonderful thing, the football they play and what they have produced is amazing amazing. But if city lose, some amazing. But if city lose, some believe there could be further fallout. It could mean that other clubs would then take up their legal positions, and they might be able to claim some form of compensation for being denied trophies, being denied access to qualifying for the champions league, so there could be a new Can Of Worms<\/a> opening as a result of all of worms opening as a result of all of this. City say they have irrefutable evidence to support their case, but with the hearings set to last ten weeks, The Club<\/a> and its fans face a nervous wait. English football has never seen anything like this. Consider that this considers one of the worlds most successful and richest clubs in effect being accused of Serial Cheating<\/a> by the very competition it has dominated in recent years, the Premier League<\/a>, one of the countrys highest profile exports. It is a bad look for The Club<\/a> and indeed for the league. City deny wrongdoing, but the ramifications for both parties could be seismic. Thank you very much, dan.

There is a sunny mood among liberal democrats. Little wonder. They now have a record breaking 72 mps, the leader standing tall. We got our best ever results. Sir Ed Davey<\/a> will tell anyone who will listen he wants to focus on the nhs and Social Care<\/a>. Do you accept them as the government says, that the nhs is broken . Broadly, yes, in so many parts of the country, it is under real stress and it has to have investment and reform. Lord farci, former surgeon, nhs minister, as he says, one of the reasons it is broken is because of austerity. You were in cabinet. If you look over decades, you will find several Things<\/a>, underinvestment in health infrastructure, and also a history of failed reorganisations. It is littered with that.

He was only 16 when, in 1970, theirfirst four motown singles all topped the us charts. Despite the huge success, there was a major frustration.
