Crime reporter(wp/es):::

An 18-year-old man has been arrested over the suspected drug-related death of a schoolgirl.

Leah Heyes, 15, died in hospital after collapsing in a car park in Northallerton, North Yorkshire, on Saturday evening.

Police believe she had taken MDMA before collapsing.

The man, who was arrested on Monday on suspicion of supplying Class A drugs, was questioned by officers before being released under investigation.

A 17-year-old boy who was previously arrested on suspicion of the same offence has also been released under investigation.

Emergency services were called to Applegarth car park at 21:30 BST.

Leah, who was from Northallerton, was taken to hospital in Middlesbrough where she later died.

Prince Charles is 'proud' of William and Harry for their work on mental health

Royal family correspondent(wp/es):::

Prince Charles has said he is "proud" of his sons for their work to remove the stigma around mental health.

Speaking at an event to mark the centenary of veterans’ charity Combat Stress, Charles praised “the awful stigma of our society” giving way to a “more positive and caring attitude”.

He added: “The armed forces have made a concerted effort in this regard and so, I am proud to say, have my sons.”

The Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Sussex, who both served in the armed forces, are founders and patrons of the Heads Together initiative, which raises funds for mental health services

The Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Sussex also support the campaign. 

Prince Harry has also been the driving force being the hugely successful Invictus Games.

Charles, who served in the Royal Navy, added: “Today our charity is 100 years old. Over time a lot has changed, but the mental health problems veterans can face are the same as they were in 1919.

"We’re on a mission to help every veteran who needs us today, tomorrow and in the years to come.”

The St James's Palace event was in aid of Combat Stress' At Ease appeal, launched in the charity's 100th year as it attempts to raise £10 million.

Then known as the Ex-Servicemen's Welfare Society, the charity launched in 1919 to help men returning from the front line of the First World War. 

More than 2,000 veterans turn to Combat Stress for assistance each year, and 17 per cent of servicemen and women who served in Iraq or Afghanistan are predicted to develop post-traumatic stress disorder.

Charles added: “Thousands of servicemen returned from the First World War suffering from a condition which was then termed ‘shell shock’ – but what we now know as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. 

 “The founders of Combat Stress – then known as the Ex-Servicemen’s Welfare Society - took the initiative in May 1919, believing that rehabilitation programmes could help veterans to address their mental health issues. 

“However, I am sure that even they did not anticipate that the charity they created would still be needed a century later, nor that the world would be plunged into conflict so soon after the ‘War to end all Wars’."

He added: "This evening is not so much about recognising the achievements of the past, as highlighting the challenges of the future.  Indeed, the demands on Combat Stress continue to grow: the number of veterans seeking help has doubled over the last ten years. 

“Paradoxically, much of this is positive: the awful stigma our society may have previously attached to mental health issues has, thankfully, given way to a more positive and caring attitude, and veterans are more confident in coming forward to seek help.  

“Nevertheless, the challenge we face is greater than ever before and, as a nation, we have a collective duty to support these veterans and facilitate their recovery – just as we have done in the past. " 

Organised crime: NCA says its budget needs to double

Sr'Crime reporter(wp/bbc):::

Organised crime poses such a threat to the UK that an extra £3bn will be needed to fight it over the next three years, the National Crime Agency says.

Its head Lynne Owens says this includes more than doubling the NCA's annual budget from £424m to nearly £1.1bn.

In a speech, she warned the public will "feel the consequences" if the government does not find the cash.

The agency's annual review of organised crime says there are more than 4,500 groups with 37,000 members in the UK.

But it says the threat from these offenders is rapidly changing "in scale and complexity" - and it needs a vast increase in resources to keep up.

Ms Owens told BBC Radio 4's Today show that the NCA is facing a "chronic and corrosive threat".

She said: "It's a number of things, it's globalisation, it's the rapid use and expansion of technology, it's the development of encryption and it's the demand for services - it's the supply of drugs, and we are a nation unfortunately, with a high demand for drugs.

"It's paedophiles using the dark web to target children in their bedrooms, those who dominate communities using fear and violence through the trade of drugs and firearms and illicit finance and cyber crime."

How organised crime is changing:

• The student, helped by organised crime, who made a fortune blackmailing porn website users
• Modern day slavery cases up by a third
• County lines drugs gangs exploiting children as young as 11

When asked about reports indicating that the number of organised crime groups has fallen over the past year, Ms Owens said "that's quite an old-fashioned way of looking at things.

"For example offenders operating on the dark web might only network through technology. So they won't be part of a traditional organisation, but they are a network of like-minded individuals and that is why we get to a higher figure of offenders."

At present the NCA spends £424m a year and has approximately 4,500 staff.

By contrast, it estimates that 181,000 offenders can be ultimately linked to serious and organised crime, which has been moving into a far wider range of activity - from drug dealing through to people trafficking, cyber extortion and the trade in online sexual abuse imagery.

Ms Owens calculates that British investigators now need an extra £2.7bn over three years - to include an extra £650m annually for her agency. She says that extra cash would be less than the weekly estimated cost of organised crime to the UK.

"Enhancing our capabilities is critical to our national security. If we don't, the whole of UK law enforcement, and therefore the public, will feel the consequences. Some will say we cannot afford to provide more investment, but I say we cannot afford not to."

Responding to the NCA's call for more cash, security minister Ben Wallace acknowledged the scale of the threat - but did not immediately promise any more spending.

"Our serious organised crime strategy, published in November 2018, set out how we will mobilise the full force of the state to target and disrupt serious and organised crime.

"As criminals' use of technology evolves so must our response. We continue to invest in the right capabilities and tools in law enforcement, across government and in partnership with the private sector."

How big is the challenge?

If the NCA could arrest all the gang members it knows about, they'd fill enough double-decker buses to jam every major road between the agency's headquarters and the Home Office, where its budget is set (trust me - I'll spare you the maths).

The call for more cash isn't just an operational matter - it is a big political challenge after many other warnings from police leaders about cuts.

If ministers found this huge pile of extra cash down the Whitehall sofa, it would go on not only investigators but resources for digital forensic and specialist surveillance operations.

The challenge would still be enormous - here's just one example of how quickly organised criminals shift their focus: The UK's introduction of a forgery-proofed polymer £10 note has been followed by a surge in counterfeit £20s and £50s. As fast as investigators catch up, the criminal has found a new way to make a profit.

The NCA's sixth annual review of organised crime says groups have been fragmenting and capitalising on new technology not only to hide their identities but to increase their profits.

The rise of virtual or crypto currencies - which can be exceptionally difficult to track - is helping offenders launder their profits more efficiently without leaving a trail for investigators to pick up.

On cyber-crime specifically, the UK is fighting sustained attempts by Russian-speaking gangs to make money by targeting British computers - either through ransom attacks that lock up systems or through the theft of personal banking credentials.

One of the biggest threats has been the rise in sites in hidden parts of the internet where images of sexual abuse of children are traded. The NCA estimates that 144,000 of the people involved in these dark web sites are based in the UK - 5% of all known users.

And it warns that Brexit will not only affect the ability of the NCA to work efficiently with its partners in the EU but could also lead to an increase in bribery and corruption as British companies enter into new markets around the world.

Cow & Gate in baby food recall from major supermarkets

Cow & Gate is urgently recalling a batch of baby food sold in major supermarkets as it may contain fragments of rubber.

Food Crime(wp/bbc):::

The company said small pieces of a thin blue rubber glove had been found in some jars of its Cheesy Broccoli Bake.

A recall notice was issued by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) which said the product may be "unsafe to eat".

Cow & Gate said the product "does not pose a health risk", but "does not meet our usual high quality standards".

"Nothing is more important to us than the safety and quality of our products. We are sorry this has happened and would like to reassure parents that this is an isolated incident," Cow & Gate said.

Cheesy Broccoli Bake 250g jars are sold in supermarkets including Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons.

The batch of baby food affected has the code 28122020 and a best before date of 28/12/2020.

The FSA said in a statement: "If you have bought the above product do not feed it to your baby. Instead, return it to the store where it was bought, with or without a receipt, for a full refund."

Vodafone's 5G UK service to launch in July

Telecom reporter(wp/bbc):::

Vodafone has said that it will turn on its 5G service in the UK on 3 July.

It is the first firm to confirm a UK switch-on date, and both business customers and consumers will be able to sign up.

Vodafone said the benefits of the next-generation mobile network would include faster and more reliable data speeds for customers in busy areas.

The company will rely on equipment from the Chinese telecoms provider Huawei, among others, to deliver the service.

The UK government is still carrying out a review of the telecoms sector that has the potential to restrict or even block the use of Huawei's kit to address cyber-security concerns.

However, a leak last month indicated that network providers will indeed be allowed to Huawei's radio access network (Ran) gear, which allows devices to wirelessly connect systems via radio signals transmitted over the airwaves.

Vodafone has said seven cities will be involved in the initial roll-out:

• Birmingham
• Bristol
• Cardiff
• Glasgow
• Manchester
• Liverpool
• London

"Offering speeds over 5G up to 10 times faster than 4G, we've shown commuters at busy airports and railway stations that they can download TV box sets or movies in a matter of seconds before they embark on their journey," Vodafone added in a press release.

• What is 5G and how will it benefit you?
• Why UK is at odds with its cyber-allies over Huawei
• Vodafone cuts payout to shareholders

Users will need a 5G-compatible smartphone or router to take advantage of the technology.

Vodafone has said it would reveal details of its 5G price plans next week. However, it has already said they would not be more expensive than its equivalent 4G deals.

The announcement coincided with the company's announcement that it had swung to a €7.6bn (£6.6bn) full-year loss, which has caused it to cut dividend payments to shareholders.

NHS fines for 1.7 million people overturned, watchdog finds

Sr'Health reporter(wp/bbc):::

"I was panicking, I didn't know what to do," said Trisha Costello, who faced a £160 fine after her daughter had gone for a check-up at the dentist.

This was one of 1.7 million fines over dental treatment or prescription charges in England since 2014 that were overturned when challenged, a National Audit Office investigation says.

These were people wrongly accused of fraudulently claiming free treatment.

An NHS spokeswoman accepted there could be "confusion" over eligibility rules.

The British Dental Association said there was "no excuse" for so many "innocent people" to face such threats.

'Unnecessary distress'

The National Audit Office has examined concerns about people being wrongly fined over claiming free treatment, particularly involving visits to the dentist, when they really were eligible.

The public spending watchdog, examining penalty notices since 2014, found 30% of the fines levied were subsequently withdrawn, representing £188m in fines that had been wrongly issued.

• Dentists say fear of fines deterring poorer patients
• Go to the dentist and get fined £100
• Your stories about getting fined at the dentist

Dentists have warned it is often vulnerable people, such as those with learning difficulties and disabilities, those on low incomes or carers bringing relatives with dementia, who get caught in the fining system.

"This is not a system that is working as it should," said Meg Hillier, who chairs the Public Accounts Committee.

"The NHS must take urgent steps if it is to avoid causing unnecessary distress to patients, tripped up by an overly complex system, who end up facing large penalty charges."

Charlotte Waite, of the British Dental Association, said: "England has a system built on a presumption of guilt, which offers few signposts, and has left vulnerable patients chased by debt collection agencies."

The BDA has warned that many people facing the threat of fines will pay up rather than contest them, even though they are eligible for free care.

It said many of the wrong fines were the result of simple errors or confusions when filling in forms.

The dentists' organisation said fear of fines had stopped poor people going to the dentist - with visits from low-income patients falling by almost a quarter.

'They really scared me'

"We were being accused of fraud. When I called the number on the letter and explained the situation they just said, 'No, no - you owe this money. Get out your credit card,'" says Trisha Costello.

The north London family faced a £160 fine after teenage daughter Rachel had gone for a dental check-up.

But her father, who brought her to the dentist, ticked a wrong box in the form about eligibility.

Without any further checks, they were given a fine.

Being wrongly branded a cheat was deeply upsetting, Trisha says. "They really scared me. I was upset, fuming, I felt threatened.

"It's grossly unfair to people who can ill afford it. It tends to be people who are struggling."

The family were helped by a local carers' organisation, which intervened, showed the evidence of eligibility and got the penalty charge overturned.

But Trisha worries "some people would feel bullied" into paying.

The National Audit Office also raises the question of how much of the money in the fining system comes back to the NHS.

An analysis of 2018-19 showed about £199m of fines had been issued - but only £33m had so far been paid, with £46m for people who were exempt but mistakenly fined, £18m cancelled and £101m unpaid.

There were also administration costs - accounting for 31% of the money recovered.

The outsourcing company Capita was used for some of the fining and debt collection for dental treatments.

The National Audit Office said Capita keeps 100% of the fines and surcharges - with the NHS receiving the value of the treatment.

If fines are not paid, another company in the Capita group is used as a debt collector, keeping almost half of the money recovered. The contract is due to finish in December.

"All policies and procedures that we follow are those of the NHS at every stage," said a Capita spokeswoman.

The fining system is intended to deter fraud - with about 47% of dental treatments and 89% of prescription items going to people who should be exempt.

And the report shows the scale of the problem of fraud in the NHS, with total annual losses from "corruption, fraud, bribery" of £1.27bn.

Brendan Brown of the NHS Business Services Authority, said the rules about entitlement to treatment could be "complicated to understand and we recognise that genuine mistakes and confusion happen".

"We strongly believe in educating patients and ultimately removing error, so we can efficiently tackle deliberate fraud," said Mr Brown.

"We acknowledge that understanding eligibility can be even more difficult for vulnerable people and so we have invested a lot of time and effort into creating extra support."

Rachel has significant learning difficulties and was in full-time education - and was exempt from paying for her treatment.

Female unemployment rate lowest since 1971

Special report(wp/bbc):::

Britain's female unemployment rate in the first three months of the year has fallen to 3.7%, the lowest since comparable records began in 1971.

The Office for National Statistics included the figure in data showing the overall unemployment rate in the three-month period stood at 3.8%, the lowest rate since late 1974.

For men the rate was 3.9%, the lowest since mid 1975.

Excluding bonuses, average weekly earnings for employees rose by 3.3%.

In the January-March period, total earnings, including bonuses, rose by an annual 3.2%, slowing from 3.5% in the three months to February.

The ONS said that unemployment rates for both men and women aged 16 years and over have been generally falling since late 2013.

The overall unemployment rate of 3.8% was last matched in the three-month period from November 1974 and was lower, at 3.7%, in the last three months of 1974.

For January to March 2019, the ONS said 1.3 million people were unemployed, 119,000 fewer than for a year earlier and 914,000 fewer than for five years earlier.

Looking at women in the work place, the ONS said the increase in the employment rate for women in recent years is due partly to changes to the state pension age for women, resulting in fewer women retiring between the ages of 60 and 65 years.

The ONS added that since estimates began in 1971, total hours worked by women have generally increased, reflecting increases in both the employment rate for women and the UK population

In contrast, total hours worked by men have been relatively stable. This is because falls in the employment rate for men have been roughly offset by population increases.

Ben Brettell, senior economist, Hargreaves Lansdown said the unemployment figures were strong given the issues facing the economy.

"The UK labour market has been remarkably resilient in the face of Brexit-related uncertainty," he said.

The latest data shows that over the last five years the unemployment rate for men has fallen from 7.0% to 3.9%, the ONS said.

The unemployment rate for women has shown a smaller fall over this period - from 6.4% to 3.7%.

But Prof Geraint Johnes, at Lancaster University Management School, added a note of caution.

He said the number of full-time employees fell in the quarter, which was offset by an increase in full-time self-employed workers and that the number of employees working part-time also rose.

"Whether these shifts indicate a longer term increase in precarity will need to be monitored carefully over the coming months. The labour market seems now to be exhibiting signs of nervousness that, given present uncertainties, should not be surprising," Prof Johnes said.

Productivity also fell, with the ONS saying that that output per hour fell by an annual 0.2% in the first quarter - its third consecutive fall.

While average real wages - adjusted for inflation - were the highest since December 2010, the TUC said the rate of increase was slowing.

TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady said: "Pay growth is stalling again. The last thing workers need is another hit in the pocket when real wages are still lower than a decade ago".

Employment Minister Alok Sharma said the rise in wages and booming higher-skilled employment meant prospects for families were improving.

"We now need to shift some of our focus to up-skilling people and supporting them into roles with real career progression to create a modern workforce fit for the challenges of the 21st Century," he said,
