here in the uk, five people have pleaded guilty to stealing more than £50 million — that's $63 million — from the uk's welfare system. the gang made thousands of fraudulent claims for a social security payment known as universal credit. prosecutors have described it as the biggest case of benefit fraud ever brought before the courts in england and wales. michael buchanan has the story. this is some of the almost £54 million stolen from the welfare system. two of the gang treating taxpayers' money like confetti, celebrating their role in one of britain's biggest benefit fraud operations. investigators found £750,000 in cash in one of the gangs homes. this was a sustained attack on a system that is supposed to protect the most vulnerable in our society. but, instead, this gang used it as a cash machine to fund their lavish lifestyles. the group of three women and two men

are all bulgarian nationals. they operated out of the wood green area of north london for a four and a half year period before their arrest in may 2021. the gang made thousands of fraudulent claims for universal credit, forging documents like tenancy agreements, to support either real or stolen ids. if a claim was rejected they'd simply reapply, sometimes repeatedly, until it was granted. stealing so much money for so many years raises serious questions for the government. when universal credit was introduced, the government said it had been designed to reduce fraud in the welfare system. that simply didn't happen. fraud increased and billions and billions of pounds were lost annually. the department for work and pensions said the gang had used a sophisticated combination of legitimate and fake documents to make it appear that they were eligible for benefits when they were not. the gang are all due to be sentenced next month. prosecutors will also attempt to confiscate as much money and other assets as they can. michael buchanan, bbc news.

staying in the us and the parents of the teenage schoolboy who killed four of his classmates in a school shooting in michigan in 2021 have each been sentenced to at least ten years injail. in the first case of its kind, ethan crumbley�*s parents, james and jennifer, were found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. 0ur north america correspondent john sudworth has more. neitherjames norjennifer crumbley pulled the trigger but in a country where gun violence in schools is all too common, this was a legal first. it is the sense of this court, mr crumbley, that you serve 10 to 15 years with the michigan department of corrections. the two now face at least a decade in prison for involuntary manslaughter as a result of the mass shooting carried out by their son. in 2021, they bought ethan crumbley, then 15 years old, a semi—automatic handgun as an early christmas present. a few days later, he took it to school in his backpack and shot dead four of his fellow students.

last year, he was sentenced to life in prison without parole. but prosecutors claimed his parents also bore responsibility, arguing that they had failed to keep the gun secure and that they had been indifferent to the clear warning signs of their son's deteriorating mental health, with his diary entries suggesting they had ignored his desperate pleas for help. and, as she sent them to jail, thejudge agreed. but these convictions are not about poor parenting. these convictions confirm repeated acts, or lack of acts, that could have halted an oncoming runaway train. gun control campaigners hope the long sentences handed down will resonate across america in any home where children live in close proximity to guns. they were certainly welcomed by some of the relatives of the victims.

ultimately, the responsibility was in their hands. they are the parents. they are the ones that control their son, and they have the power to do what needs to be done. and they didn't do that. legal experts caution that one case will do little to stem epidemic gun violence. but those frustrated by the lack of political action may take some comfort in the message being sent by a us court. john sudworth, bbc news, new york. this is bbc news.

with just over 100 days to go until the paris 0lympics, there are concerns that the triathlon event could be delayed, or the swim leg even cancelled because of poor water quality in the river seine — that's despite more than one billion euros spent trying to improve it.

let's go live to paris now and speak to our correspondent hugh schofield. it is still a bit polluted. what kind of levels are we talking about, what is happening in the river? well, the big picture is a good one, so it is a positive picture, the river has been cleaned up extensively in the last 20, 30 years, it is far healthier than it was in the 60s when there were three species of fish left in it. now there are 30 or a0. so the general picture is a good one but the specific picture is rather more worrying, the specific picture is this bid to get the river swimmable in by the olympics which was a commitment that the olympics organisers that president macron made and which they

time, but one can't help thinking they must be worried and in the same way that there are concerns expressed about the opening ceremony on the river, the security, people are saying there should be a plan b, in case the water isn't clean enough ijy in case the water isn't clean enough by the end ofjuly. in case the water isn't clean enough by the end ofjuly— by the end ofjuly. because is there a plan b? an _ by the end ofjuly. because is there a plan b? an alternative _ by the end ofjuly. because is there a plan b? an alternative venue - by the end ofjuly. because is there a plan b? an alternative venue forl a plan b? an alternative venue for the swim part of the triathlon? i think the plan b is stand it. there are three events, there is the triathlon, there is the swimming

marathon, and then there the paralympic triathlon as well, so three events, as i understand it, the fall back plan if things go badly wrong they can shift the date, they can move it round, they planned it to be take place early in the games and so if early and they last for two weeks it looks like the river is not up to snuff they will pushit river is not up to snuff they will push it back later, but if that doesn't work i don't think there is a plan, that is why there is assurances they have things under control. i think anyone watching is feeling a little niggle now, that maybe they are talking confident but they are not as confident as they look. a, they are not as confident as they look. �* , , ., . ., look. a mild sense of panic i am sure. look. a mild sense of panic i am sure- thank _ look. a mild sense of panic i am sure. thank you _ look. a mild sense of panic i am sure. thank you for _ look. a mild sense of panic i am sure. thank you forjoining - look. a mild sense of panic i am sure. thank you forjoining us. l exit polls in south korea suggest that opposition parties have increased their majority in the parliamentary election. democratic party and other opposition groups are projected to win about two—thirds of the 300 seats in parliament. if confirmed, the result would be

a blow to the people power party of president yoon suk yeol who was elected in 2022. jean mackenzie has more details from seoul. the fist thing to note is that exit polls in korea are unreliable. they have been wrong in the past and think don't take account of the early voting happens here in the past week so we don't want to read too much into them. if they are correct, it means that the liberal opposition party is oncourse to win a significant majority in the parliament. these election although just parliamentary election they don't decide the president, they are being seen as a midterm friend on the current president, who has been in office for two years now, he has been unpopularfrom in office for two years now, he has been unpopular from the start, but neither side expected hip to be punished this much. if his party loses in a big way it will weaken his authority and make it nearly impossible for him to push ahead

with his agenda, the big number everybody is interested this is 200. this is what is needed to get what is called a supermajority here and it means that if the opposition party and the smaller parties get 200 seats or more between them, they canjoin 200 seats or more between them, they can join forces to push through laws the government doesn't want, the president will no longer be able the use his veto and that could make politics chaotic but we will have to wait until the morning here in korea to find out the results for real and what they mean, but they could have big implications for how this country is run over the next three years. a new amy winehouse biopic, back to black, is hitting uk cinemas this week. the film, directed by sam taylor—johnson, tells the life story of the late singer, who died from alcohol poisoning in 2011. it has faced mixed reviews with some critics calling it an �*unfair portrayal�* of the artist. with me now is photographer charles moriarty, who shot photos of amy when she was still

a relatively unknown talent before the release of her debut album frank. good to see you charles. firstly for our viewers round the world, in the uk, everyone is still obsessed with amy winehouse, it is international as well but what is it about her? i think her music struck such a chord with people and there was a deep connection there, that losing her at such an early point in her career was devastating to so many people who knew her through her music, knew her soul essentially because that is is really what she gave to people, and i think it is hard to move on from that, some people want to hold on to it forever. bud from that, some people want to hold on to it forever.— on to it forever. and they can in some ways _ on to it forever. and they can in some ways by _ on to it forever. and they can in some ways by looking _ on to it forever. and they can in some ways by looking at - on to it forever. and they can in some ways by looking at your . on to it forever. and they can in - some ways by looking at your photo, tell us the remarkable story, you were both so young when you took these shots i were both so young when you took these shot— these shots i was straight out of colle . e, these shots i was straight out of collete, i these shots i was straight out of college, i wasn't _ these shots i was straight out of college, i wasn't a _ these shots i was straight out ofj college, i wasn't a photographer really, i wasn't a photograph e i was 21 and the day i met amy we shot the album cover for frank and later on went and spent 21t hoursings in new york together, where we shot

to prize money, there hasn't been a prize pot until today. this has only come out in the last couple of hours from world athletics and look after the track and field event, they said they have ring—fenced $2.1t million, to provide a prize fund for the gold medal win we ares, which is only 107 days away, but of course, this is, this is new news for us here. they have come out with this today and they have said that they want to put more money back in to the sport, to the athletes themselves, and this money has come from the international olympic committee who get money from broad caste and they will funnel this down to the different sports federation and world athletics have said we will for every person who wins a gold in track and field in paris £50 thousand thousand, this will have to
