from alan bates, the testimony from alan bates, the sub—postmaster who really was the kind of supporter, the campaigner and the person who brought all of those sub—postmasters and post mistresses together. you could argue without alan bates�* work and his bravery stepping up and holding those in power to account we may never have been having this conversation. that is right and the day the alan bates was speaking and the second day, tory peer campaigning on this issue for nearly 15 years, when he was here, a lot of victims were at the inquiry because they became a community here, in fact, i do want to bring janet skinner in, she is here with me, she was sitting in that inquiry, thank you so much for your time. alan cook, at the end

—— ended up injailfor something she did not do. find -- ended up in “ailfor something she did not do._ -- ended up in “ailfor something she did not do. and it's important to remember. _ she did not do. and it's important to remember, when _ she did not do. and it's important to remember, when we _ she did not do. and it's important to remember, when we talk- she did not do. and it's important| to remember, when we talk about she did not do. and it's important - to remember, when we talk about the amazing work that alan bates and others who worked alongside him did to try and getjustice for others who worked alongside him did to try and get justice for these sub—postmasters and mistresses who are still fighting for thatjustice. but of course it�*s important to remember that it was actually a television drama that really propelled this issue back into the spotlight, they had been some journalists at pc world and private eye, but really it was not in the mainstream until that drama really galvanised people again.— galvanised people again. that's ri u ht, galvanised people again. that's riht, and galvanised people again. that's right, and there _ galvanised people again. that's right, and there has _ galvanised people again. that's right, and there has been - galvanised people again. that's right, and there has been a - galvanised people again. that's right, and there has been a lot| galvanised people again. that's i right, and there has been a lot of public anger over the fact that it took a drama to get the government took a drama to get the government to potentially introduce the law they have two overturn wrongful convictions, that is the criticism put to the prime minister, he said

he was shocked to understand the details of all of this, like everyone else. as far as alan bates is concerned, he is still campaigning, still championing this cause, but he is also a victim, he was terminated in 2003, and he, after losing his life savings as well in the village shop, he is campaigning for financial redress as well, that is what the government is trying to ensure, that through three separate schemes, people who have had bankruptcy, who have lost a significant amount of their savings, can somehow be compensated for this, i mentioned this to you before, a lot of the victims feel the word compensation just doesn�*t cut it because they can�*t be compensated for the years they have lost, janet skinner cannot be compensated for the years she lost when she was in prison and the reputation damage following that.— prison and the reputation damage following that. indeed. there really were so many _

mentioned, mr bates vs the post office. and this week, her name came up, and there was a serious allegation made by jason up, and there was a serious allegation made byjason beer, the inquiry counsel, when he said in a comment to a government minister in 2012 she made a false statement, she said, she was talking about court cases against the sub—postmasters and in every instance she said the court had found in the post office favour and followed that by saying it�*s just not true. so favour and followed that by saying it�*sjust not true. so moments favour and followed that by saying it�*s just not true. so moments that are certainly going to be put to her. the testimony she has previously given to mps will be put to her, so this is really building up to her, so this is really building up to that week, that big moment, and i have spoken to a lot of the victims here who have said they all want to be here for that.— victims here who have said they all want to be here for that. thank you for all your— want to be here for that. thank you for all your insight _ want to be here for that. thank you for all your insight and _ want to be here for that. thank you for all your insight and analysis - for all your insight and analysis and for staying across the inquiry throughout the week here on bbc news. now more on a developing

here, also his spanish counterpart on top eu officials, no real signs of a breakthrough or announcement of a deal, but they are all saying they are moving in the right direction. the nhs could face a potential crisis when trying to retain doctors. the gmc says action is needed now to reduce the number of medics going abroad to work low morale were factors behind doctors considering their future outside the nhs. now the gmc says there is evidence that a trend may be developing, including a survey revealing that 30% of doctors who responded to an online survey said they were likely to move abroad to work in the next 12 months. the number actually leaving has been stable in recent years but the chief executive said surveys should be treated with caution, but there were grounds for concern. i treated with caution, but there were grounds for concern.—

the world health organization says regions of sudan could be tipped into famine if the conflict between the nation�*s army and paramilitary forces does not come to an end. doctors without borders has screened tens of thousands of women and children from a displaced people�*s camp in north darfur and found a third were malnourished, twice the threshold required for a nutritional emergency to be declared. a year of war has had a devastating humanitarian impact across the country. especially in the darfur region, it�*s been almost impossible to transfer aid across conflict lines. the paramilitary rapid support forces now control much of darfur. warehouses have been looted and most aid workers have withdrawn. the army has blocked land routes from outside the country to stop weapons, it says. that has eased slightly for food supplies, but not nearly enough. the bbc has managed to get

rare video from darfur. our correspondent, barbara plett usher, reports. some viewers may find images in her report distressing. crying. the youngest casualties of sudan�*s war are often not victims of bombs and bullets. this paediatric hospital in northern darfur is a front line in the country�*s hunger crisis. signs of malnutrition are stark. it�*s difficult for outsiders to get access to the region. we worked with a local cameraman to film these images. the son of this woman is getting emergency nutrition after bouts of diarrhoea and malaria. "we just don�*t have enough food here," she says. "we�*re farmers but aren�*t able to harvest enough now "and there�*s no other income. "medicine is hard to get." in the next bed, another woman is caring for six—month—old twins, slowly recovering

from weeks of dysentery. doctors treated malnutrition here before the war. much more so now. translation: the numbers have doubled. _ every month, and the next month, the numbers increase, despite the fact that we in northern darfur, we had a system, a full nutritional programme, which continued. but it lapsed because of the war. it�*s a refuge of last resort, but those who make it here are the lucky ones. in the nearby zamzam camp for displaced people, they queue forfood. there isn�*t much of that, nor of clean water or health care. illnesses that could once be treated now kill. one child here dies every two hours — so says the charity doctors without borders, the last international humanitarians still on the ground. they found that one third of the camp�*s children under the age

of five are malnourished, and so are their mothers. this woman is living that pain. she lost three children in four months. one was three years old, another two, another was six months. translation: i couldn't afford to take them to hospital. - the pharmacy demanded too much money. my first child died on the way home from there and the second child died after six days. the baby fell sick and died three days later. people are sick and hungry. the displaced people have nojobs. zamzam is one of sudan�*s oldest and largest camps, formed by those who fled ethnic violence in darfur 20 years ago, so already fragile. but the latest war between the army and its paramilitary rivals has displaced more than 8 million people, blocked aid, shut down the economy. these images showjust

how grave the situation is in other parts of darfur. a regional emergency worker sent them to us from the southern and central states. the boy�*s mother pleading for help to feed her children. anything, she says, even something small. aid agencies say without much greater access and more food supplies, that won�*t happen. i spoke to doctors without borders at their nairobi headquarters. we have a nutritional crisis. it's a catastrophic nutritional crisis. | the children that we screened in the camp of zamzam - is the tip of the iceberg. we are talking aboutjust one camp. so it could be much worse. it could be much worse, yes. this little boy may live but, if the war stretches into another year, many, many other children will die. barbara plett usher, bbc news, nairobi.

we are hearing in the last few minutes that the uk climate change minister has resigned from government, he says he will stand in the next election but has announced his resignation from the government, interesting because over the last few weeks and months, we have had so many different conservative mps indicating and saying that they will not stand at the next election, but this one slightly different because graham stuart saying he will stand in the next election but is resigning from government. that is his resignation letter that you can see on the bbc website and read in full, and we will get more reaction from westminster in the coming minutes as we try to find the answer to the obvious question as to why he has decided to resign and resign now, so that is the uk climate

change minister resigning from but saying he will stand in the next election, that news hasjust saying he will stand in the next election, that news has just come saying he will stand in the next election, that news hasjust come in to us and we will have more on that in the coming minutes. his work has been displayed around the world, but now british sculptor anthony gormley�*s latest installation is to go on display closer to home in norfolk. 100 life—size cast iron sculptures weighing 680 kilograms — or about 1,500 pounds — have been distributed across parkland at the historical houghton hall. our media and arts correspondent, david sillito, has more. 100 figures, 300 acres. this is an exhibition in which comfortable shoes might be useful — it�*s estimated you�*ll probably have to walk for three hours to see it all. it�*s a mixture of art, nature, and a ramble set to the sound of wind — and, i fear, if the last few months are anything to go

by, rain and birdsong. but installing this hasn�*t been quite so peaceful. can you just beam out a little bit, colin? each gormley iron:man weighs 620 kilograms. this is art on an industrial scale. but this is, of course, far from new for antony gormley — he�*s the artist, after all, who installed his iron:men on crosby beach, the sea off margate, and the mountains of austria. and his most famous and biggest sculpture can be seen on the side of the a1 near gateshead — the angel of the north. these eerie alien iron visitors have become an increasingly familiar part of the british landscape.

plenty more on our main story, the us and the white house talking about the threat from israel, that attack potentially from iran and we will have the latest on that and more on that news in the last few moments, the uk climate change minister has resigned from the government, so more from westminster on that story here on bbc news. hello. it isn�*t completely dry out there today, but for many of us it�*s drier than it has been and feeling quite warm as well, particularly in the sunshine. it is going to turn cooler, though, through the weekend. it will often be quite windy, the wettest weather in the north and the west of the uk. for the time being, we�*ve got these south or south—westerly winds feeding pretty warm air in our direction. the highest temperatures where we�*ve got the brightest of the skies, some hazy sunshine through east wales, parts of the midlands, southern and eastern england, also some sunny skies in north—east scotland, more cloud and some showery rain

for northern ireland, northern england, south—west scotland. even here, 15 or 16 degrees. but in the sunny spots, north—east scotland, central and eastern parts of england, for example, 18 to 21 degrees. now, tonight, we�*ll see one band of rain pushing southwards and eastwards, more showers into north—west scotland where it will be windy. some areas of mist and murk and low cloud for western and southern coast and a mild night for all of us. into saturday, a couple of different weather fronts to point out on the charts. this one here pushing its way across parts of england and wales. this a relatively weak affair and then a more active frontal system pushing across northern ireland, the north—west of scotland, some heavy and perhaps thundery rain with that, a weaker weather front bringing cloud and some showery rain across england and wales. there will be some spells of sunshine too. it�*s going to be windy, particularly across northern and western areas. gusts of 40, 45 miles per hour, maybe a little more than that. and it will be turning cooler from the north as the day wears on. the highest temperatures

across east anglia and the south—east, 19 or 20 degrees. now, that cooler air will be brought further south—eastwards as we get into sunday as these weather fronts clear through. some showers following on behind and the blue colours across our air mass chart. quite a different feel to the weather actually for the second half of the weekend. now, there will be some spells of sunshine around, but also some showers, particularly across parts of northern ireland and scotland. and, yes, some of those showers will be turning wintry over high ground because the air will be turning colder, 9 to 15 degrees. those temperatures actually around the average for the time of year. but those temperatures may drop back a little further, particularly into the start of next week, and it will be quite unsettled showers, particularly in the north and west.

this is bbc news. the headlines: fears are growing of an iranian attack on israel. the white house says it is a real and viable threat. it�*s the biggest miscarriage ofjustice in british history — but in a startling development, a former head of the post office tells an inquiry he didn�*t know his company was prosecuting its own staff. and — researchers find the brightest burst of light ever recorded was caused by an exploding star. that, though, has created a new mystery for scientists.
