Summary

The Attorney General says the sentences of three teenage boys who were spared custody over the rape of two girls in Hampshire, will be referred to the Court of Appeal. The boys were given rehabilitation orders by a Judge who said he would avoid "criminalising" them because of their ages. Bereaved parents meet the prime minister to urge him to ban social media for under 16s, as a government consultation on the issue draws to a close. Also: BP removes its chairman. Another record breaking hot May day. And: Part-time pilot becomes conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
