A major review of a decline in the number of rape prosecutions and convictions across England and Wales says the criminal justice system is so under-resourced it's close to breaking point but the report from the Crown Prosecution Service inspectorate found no evidence that c.p.s. Lawyers were taking cases to court only where convictions were easy to achieve Here's our home affairs correspondent Danny sure the report says the decline is partly because fewer rape cases are being referred to the Crown Prosecution Service 1st charging decision and because police are taking longer to gather evidence Kevin McGinty the chief inspector who led the review appeared to blame a shortage of resources saying the number of rape allegations lost in the investigative process was damning but the report dismisses claims made by campaigners that the c.p.s. Is being more selective about the rate cases it prosecutes in order to bolster success rates in court the American aircraft manufacturer Boeing is suspending production of its 737 Macs from next month the plane has been grounded by authorities around the world since it was involved in fatal crashes in Ethiopia and Indonesia which left more than $300.00 people dead from New York similar Hussein reports Boeing is one of the biggest industrial companies in America and one of the country's largest exporter pulling its most profitable plane from the skies has already cost them $8000000000.00 And that figure continues to rise in a statement Boeing said it will halt production beginning in January of 2020 that the company has $400.00 planes in storage and will focus their efforts on delivering those aircraft to customers holding production is an unprecedented move and will have ripple effects across the u.s.

Weather Center good morning Helen and nothing good morning to you quite as you spell of weather ahead for many of us today but with quieter weather and high pressure comes or come other or Tom the winter problems that of ice and fog so let me start the data where we do have the exception to the quiet story that's across southeast England east of England in Lincolnshire where it's cloudy and it's pretty wet this morning actually there's lots of spray and standing water on the road so you'll need the windscreen wipers and that rain will pulse on and off throughout the rest of the day it's quite murky over the hills here temperatures 10 or 11 it's relatively mild now away from southern and eastern parts of England so the rest of England along with Wales it's a very different picture it's cold it's Frosty this morning and we've got folks in very thick fog through the veil of York the North West Midlands East Wales for example and here it might linger for much of the day temperatures will struggle there for to get above freezing freezing fog but elsewhere by the odd isolated shower for the Irish Sea coast much drier with good spells the sunshine but we're still only looking at about 6 or 7 degrees Celsius today hit Best Northern Ireland also having a frosty start the focused out into form as well so that's around for the rush hour but again once that case it'll be drier than yesterday with more sunshine and temperatures of 5 or 6 degrees Celsius we're concerned about amounts of snowfall and ice in particular cross Highland Morea and Aberdeen should Scotland this morning but the showers become confined to the north and south today and so they'll be increasing amounts of dry and sunny weather but don't expect it to be warm today temperatures only rising to $56.00 degrees after that frosty start. Hello and thank you very much the time is 8 minutes past 6 let's have a look at today's papers and several of them lead on the government's plans to put the idea that the BRICs a transition period will not be extended into law notably the Telegraph Johnson to enshrine 2020 bricks it in all this is along side a big picture of and the prime minister with some of his new M.P.'s when they arrived at Westminster yesterday the Telegraph says this will prove to voters that Mr Johnson has no intention of using his new power to pursue a softer breaks or to some leave campaign has had feared the Financial Times headline Johnson found bricks a transition raises fears of cliff edge and next year it says that although he's determined to course suggestions he will use his 80 strong House of Commons majority to sideline Tory euro skeptics there is speculation that has helped fuel an enthusiasm enthusiastic market reaction to his election victory and the labor supporting papers looking at the leadership contest there the Daily Mirror leaders ready for a showdown they've got to grasp on page 2 of lease and then they kissed Starmer Bekele and Bailey just Phillips and Angela Raine old say they're contenders but the am Guardian front page says that their long daily gets clear run as candid as the Labor left they explained that's because the shadow each occasion secretary and Geraint has cleared the way for her friend a man of the flatmate actually Rebecca long Bailey to run as the left wing successes Jeremy Corbyn The paper says that our Geraint has built up a public profile was regarded as a strong contender However in a move one colleague described the system she is now expected to run for deputy leaders meeting the path along Bailey elsewhere Magnus Carlsen the World Chess Champion is on the front page of The Times and on page 3 as well because he is now at the very top of the fantasy football league the Premier League fantasy football league it's not really surprising when you look at what the how the times looks back on what he's done since his childhood in Norway he he submitted extraordinary mental skills from the age of 2 he could solve a 50. Piece jigsaw puzzle by 5 he could recall areas population numbers flags and capitals of all the countries in the world he began playing chess then at 5 it should come as no surprise at the time that he should turn his extraordinary analytical mind to his other passion Premier League football fancies what was a tiny very big in Norway in particular in 2078 players from there were in the top 50 fantasy players in the world could you do this a day. It's 10 past 6 the London Fire Brigade is one of 3 services found to require improvement in the latest report from the fire service watchdog Tom Simons our home affairs correspondent is on the line what do they say about London Tom Well they say that it needs improvement that it's slow to learn doesn't properly train its far fighters and is not particularly well run now this is one of 15 reports on fire services today but the real relevance is that this is the sort of thing that the Granville tower inquiry was saying when it produced its report the gravel terror inquiry was looking at the events on the night of the fire the gravel tower far in 2017 but this report is looking at the Forest Service as it is 2 years old and it is finding there is still in its own words a long way to go which is what is so striking off the deaths of so many people and all the criticism does does it say why that is the case. Well there are a number of concerns but the particular one mentioned in the report is the training of incident commanders now again that is highly relevant to what happened on the night of the gravel tower fire what they're saying is that when they inspected the brigade earlier this year they found that brigade commanders were not getting ongoing training so they might be trained when they go into the job but it wasn't carrying on as they continued in the job and crucially that the training wasn't pass fail so if a commander didn't do pretty well of course they could still go back out and be commanding incidents for real and again that's the sort of thing that was being talked about in the gravel to our inquiry the inquiry for example said that there there will be a concern among some people whether the quote training was adequate and whether the London Fire Brigade is capable of learning from its mistakes and this report makes that conclusion that there are still concerns about whether the Left be can learn from its mistakes hasn't had any theory to say about this it has it's pretty it's responded saying that there is a new London far commissioner this report today's report led directly to the resignation of Danny cotton the commander who is in charge the commissioner who is in charge of the brigade when the fire happens and the line of fire brigade now says that training is a priority they've introduced new courses additional exercises annual assessment and refresher training for the kinds of members of staff that this report is concerned about Thompson's Thank you it's 30 minutes past 6 Boeing is suspending production of the airliner which has been grounded following 2 crashes I've been told to be based on North America Correspondent Well ever since the 737 Max was grounded back in March Boeing has been looking after the problem believed to be a problem with the automated control system essentially doing a software fix and they'd been hoping to get the aircraft back in the sky by the end of this year and I would say clearly not going to have. Because the u.s. Federal Aviation Administration says at that time federal is now just too tight for it to certify the plane safe for commercial use in fact there is no timetable for when that will happen so with some $400.00 of these aircraft built and in storage Boeing says it's going to stop making them and simply focus on distributing those completed aircraft to their customers what kind of concerns have there been about these aircraft. Well the concern of course followed 2 fatal accidents that's why it was grounded the 1st accident fatal accident in Indonesia a 2nd in Ethiopia and that's why it was grounded very quickly by aviation authorities around the world and it has posed a major major problem for Boeing It was a hugely fast selling aircraft very successful for the company up until that point but since then it is cost Boeing a tremendous amount of money about 6000000000 pounds and $9000000000.00 And clearly there's no end in sight to this certainly on Monday it's stocks took quite a significant hit because a the anticipation of this announcement no sign of an end to it so likely to lose more money for the company and what kind of impact is this likely to have on the American stock market indeed the American economy. Quite a significant impact because of course Boeing is a huge force in the American economy and the direct effect of this is going to be largely on those smaller companies suppliers to Boeing the smaller companies supplying parts for this particular aircraft those orders of course will be put on hold and and being smaller companies they might not be as well able as a huge company like Boeing to simply go on standby for a few months so that there will be a knock on effect in the economy and of course looming at some point in the future when the aviation authorities around the world finally give the go ahead for this plane to fly again the next challenge of course of Boeing will be a one of persuading the public after all the bad publicity persuading the public that it is Saif Peter Bay's Many thanks more on Boeing in a moment with Don He's here with the business news at 60 minutes past 6 have been looking particularly at the lessons from a high profile company collapses recently yes there is a plan afoot to copy what happened in America way back in 2002 after a string of corporate scandals like Enron remember them and World Com George w. Bush brought in the Sarbanes Oxley Act which means that the top management of a company have to personally testify that the accounts are true a British version of their could be proposed in general well would it work also this one we're going to have another quick chat about that Boeing decision to suspend production of the 737 Max and how much would you pay for a pair of Freddie Mercury's trousers We'll find out about that in a minute but 1st the business of orders Michelle Hinchcliffe is a partner and u.k. Chair of water k p m g one of the big 4 can see firms Michel this idea for a u.k. Submarines actually this let's go back a bit how did we get where we are now there's been a number of reviews into order to the end the question of order to the 1st one was by Sejong Kingman and they've got small arms going on at the moment that's right so the 1st one by so junking been looked at the role. The regulator and the next review is by Sedona Bryden which is due to release in the week of the beginning of January 13th of January and that's very much looking at the product and I think every What an order should be when looking at the. Year the scope of the audit is it useful should it be changed should it be broadened so an audit very much at the moment focuses on the financial statements. Which is quite backward looking and the question is should it be more should be focused more on the front end of what we call the front end of financial statement because of just this basic mismatch isn't there the public understand order to counts to be a fair or accurate black and white account of what's going on in the company but the truth is that the modern old it is not really like that is it absolutely the there are many quite complex judgments made in order and at the moment an audit report is fairly black and white and that's one of the reasons we introduced what we call graduated findings which is to give the investors some more information better information around those judgments which have been made this is what about this idea for making the company's management personally responsible making them sign on the dotted line to say these are fair and accurate accounts what was the experience in the States after Sarbanes Oxley was introduced Well I think in India one the cell phones Oxley was fairly painful for people to implement it required a lot of work but a number of years later I think most people would believe that the that the controls around financial reporting as a result of some Botox and it's worth remembering also having reported on at the time that corporate America hated the idea they did not want it absolutely and as I said you one was painful but now it's been implemented and on an ongoing basis I believe there are a benefits and we certainly see that those controls a stronger as a result of Sarbanes Oxley if it would work over here I believe there is absolute value in a British version of sux. I don't think it should be an exact replica of what's in the u.s. Because we have very different frameworks in place the u.s. Is quite rules based the u.k. Is very much principles based so I think we need to modify to see what works best in the u.k. Environment and certainly concentrate minds in the boardroom wouldn't wouldn't if you thought Gosh if these accounts are like it I'm going to be sued now absolutely and I think the positive thing from Certainly conversations that we as a firm of had with or that committee chairs is there is a lot of support for a u.k. Version of socks to reflect on the work of your own firm and and the other big 4 accountants we wouldn't be in this position if you guys had done your job properly . Well I think that's a it's quite complex when you look at I'm sure as she referring to company failures and accounts restatement
