hello, i'm lucy grey. you're watching the context on bbc news. former conservative prime minister theresa may is set to stand down as an mp at the next general elections. families of the victims of the uvalde mass school shooting have expressed their outrage after a report cleared the police of wrongdoing. 19 children and two teachers were killed in the may 2022 attack. nearly 400 officers responded, but it took 77 minutes after the first officers arrived for police to confront and kill the 18—year—old shooter. an independent investigator was assigned to look at the local police response,
9:32 pm
which has been criticised as slow. he found officers acted "in good faith". the main problem in this scenario, in this incident, wasn't the fact that they didn't go to the door, it was they couldn't get to the door. there was eight feet that the shooter could see clearly. but families of the victims have condemned the new report, several walking out of the presentation. there were multiple law enforcement officers from multiple agencies that stood by for 77 minutes as children and teachers died! and i'm not going to stand by! my daughter was left for dead. left for dead. and you said they did the right thing? - for more on this story, we go to texas tribune reporter alejandro serrano, who has been covering this story from uvalde in texas. can you just explain what's the
9:33 pm
point was of this report, because there have been several reports into what happened, have a? yes. there have been several reports into what happened, have a?— there have been several reports into what happened, have a? yes, that is riuht. the what happened, have a? yes, that is right- the city _ what happened, have a? yes, that is right. the city commission _ what happened, have a? yes, that is right. the city commission to - what happened, have a? yes, that is right. the city commission to reportl right. the city commission to report a few months after the shooting once a few months after the shooting once a question started rising after law enforcement�*s response to the shooting. the mayor at the time said, let's get an external person to look into this. they hired a private investigator. that investigator said that he encountered multiple setbacks and challenges in getting information to complete a thorough assessment which is why it took almost two years. yesterday, he presented his findings and release the report. i yesterday, he presented his findings and release the report.— and release the report. i mentioned and release the report. i mentioned a few of the — and release the report. i mentioned a few of the findings, _ and release the report. i mentioned a few of the findings, but _ and release the report. i mentioned a few of the findings, but they - and release the report. i mentioned a few of the findings, but they are l a few of the findings, but they are very different to the previous report from the us federal agencies which were very critical of the police and their actions.- which were very critical of the police and their actions. yes, their revious police and their actions. yes, their previous report — police and their actions. yes, their previous report pretty _ police and their actions. yes, their previous report pretty much - previous report pretty much illustrate a catastrophic law enforcement response at every level,
9:34 pm
that pretty much enables the situation in which children remained trapped with the gunman for at least an hour. this report yesterday married some of those findings but, as you mentioned, the beginning of the report, it also commended officers, and said that they acted in good faith, and said that none of the local officers were to blame for those failures. is the local officers were to blame for those failures.— those failures. is this the end of it or will there _ those failures. is this the end of it or will there be _ those failures. is this the end of it or will there be further- those failures. is this the end of. it or will there be further reports? where things done or do things stand now? , , ., ~ , now? there is still one key investigation _ now? there is still one key investigation that - now? there is still one key investigation that is - now? there is still one key investigation that is being | now? there is still one key - investigation that is being done by the local prosecutor. a grand jury was assembled about one half months ago, they are just was assembled about one half months ago, they arejust bringing definite beginning the investigation to see if any law enforcement officials will be charged with a crime. it is not clear what the city is going to do next, yesterday, after releasing the report, they met with families and said that they plan to take questions and maybe even take
9:35 pm
questions and maybe even take questions down the road, but as we saw yesterday, during the meeting, families are already demanding questions and further repercussions for officers who remain in the city police force. for officers who remain in the city police force-— police force. you do get the impression _ police force. you do get the impression that _ police force. you do get the impression that the - police force. you do get the | impression that the families police force. you do get the - impression that the families are not going to let this light, are they? any time soon? right. thank you so much for talking to us.— former uk prime minister theresa may has announced she'll step down at the next general election. she's served as the conservative mp for maidenhead since 1997 and held shadow cabinet roles for more than a decade. she became home secretary during david cameron's government, a role she kept until his resignation in 2016. she became prime minister in the wake of the brexit referendum, a position she held for three years. but it was the lack of support for her brexit deal that ended her mandate. i do so with no ill will, but with enormous and enduring
9:36 pm
gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country i love. she's also left some memorable moments, like this one, entering the conservative conference in 2018 to the tune of dancing queen. there we go. i don't want to ask if you are a fan of theresa may or not, do you want to talk us through what you think will be her lasting impression? i you think will be her lasting impression?— you think will be her lasting impression? i think a lasting impression _ impression? i think a lasting impression will _ impression? i think a lasting impression will be _ impression? i think a lasting impression will be that - impression? i think a lasting impression will be that she i impression? i think a lasting i impression will be that she was impression? i think a lasting - impression will be that she was a politician of integrity, that she stood up for what she believed in. she is not a very good prime minister, she was not very good at taking people with her, but she was a prime minister during impossible times. she was not a success during those impossible times and she put herself forward there. she was home
9:37 pm
secretary for six years, during which time she had a very fine relationship with the police, there was the whole hostile environment immigration campaign, which was not a success, by any means. and yet, she is a former prime minister who went on to become a powerful backbencher. when you think that we have had david cameron who resigned as prime minister and then it did not want to be an mp any more, boris johnson who really, we could tell, didn't want to be an mp any more, and has kind of gone away, liz truss, who is still an mp, but is spending a lot of her time sharing platforms with steve bannon, so it doesn't seem to be devoted to her constituents in the same way theresa may certainly was. she stood up for what she believed in the house of commons, was very vocal, about trafficking, about how the government has no plans, to do with immigration, and their illegal migration bill, how it would endanger trafficking victims. she was prepared to say things that might not necessarily make her
9:38 pm
popular on the backbenches. whilst she is not the whilst the's most successful politician, i don't think people were necessary doubt her integrity and her dedication to serve. ., ., , ., serve. the labour party are saying that this shows _ serve. the labour party are saying that this shows a _ serve. the labour party are saying that this shows a lack _ serve. the labour party are saying that this shows a lack of _ serve. the labour party are saying | that this shows a lack of confidence in rishi sunak and his ability to win the election. she said that she believed the tories can win the election. she did not say when, specifically!— election. she did not say when, specifically! she is one of one of the very many — specifically! she is one of one of the very many conservative - specifically! she is one of one of the very many conservative mps specifically! she is one of one of- the very many conservative mps who probably looks at the lay of the land and thought, you know what, i don't really want to stand again, i don't really want to stand again, i don't necessarily fancy the life of an opposition backbench mp, so i'm not going to use the phrase, rats of a sinking ship, but it does look like that. �* ., , , ., like that. brett, what is your view on a theresa _ like that. brett, what is your view on a theresa may, _ like that. brett, what is your view on a theresa may, do _ like that. brett, what is your view on a theresa may, do you - like that. brett, what is your view on a theresa may, do you have i like that. brett, what is your view i on a theresa may, do you have one because like the fact that the uk has had three women at the top of politics here and where are you guys? 0n international women's day, of course ask you this. it is

bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. james scott began dairy farming last year. he currently has 106 milking cows, plus these heifers and calves. and so far it's going well. it was quite daunting initially, but now it's just gone really well. i'm enjoying getting up milking every day and you know, when the cows are out, it's even better because that's when they're the happiest. but being from a farming family, james is also well aware of the pressures. you can often become quite isolated on a farm when you're on your own and it can become quite lonely. so you've sort ofjust got to make sure that you speak to other farmers and speak to other people. james says joining his local young farmers group was the best thing he could do. he also believes younger farmers are more aware of the issues associated with poor mental health, and they understand the importance of checking in with others.

and has to pull out, ijust really need my name to be the one that's announced as the winner. you can find out if his name is announced as the winner... the commentary on 5live. that's all the sport for now. hello there. another rather chilly feeling day again today, mostly dry. some areas of cloud around at times with the brisk easterly wind, the sunshine best in the west. but it also brightened up rather nicely across the south of england, unlike yesterday. it's not set to last, though. over the course of the weekend, it will turn a lot more unsettled, more cloud, rain at times, and still that cold, brisk easterly wind blowing in from the north sea. some rather chilly feeling air at the moment. low pressure to the southwest. high pressure to the north east. and we're still drawing in more cloud from the north sea as we head through tonight. in fact, it's going to be a lot cloudier than last night. so therefore, the temperatures will be higher with this area of low pressure gradually lifting its way further northwards, bringing along with it some outbreaks of rain.
9:57 pm
possibly still a touch of frost underneath any clear spells across the shelter glens of scotland, but elsewhere it will be a frost free start to the day on saturday. now the area of low pressure continues to roll its way northwards and eastwards, and it will bring with it some spells of rain. so some outbreaks of mostly light, patchy rain across parts of south west england into wales, the midlands, pushing further north into northern england and northern ireland a bit later on through the day. but it's mostly dry across much of scotland. we've still got that easterly wind, but blowing a bit more from the south easterly direction across the south east of england. here some brighter spells and it will feel a bit warmer, 13 or 14 degrees, but still cold for north sea facing coasts in particular, added wind chilljust six degrees celsius in aberdeen. and that rain will continue to push its way further northwards and eastwards as we head through sunday. so many of us seeing some wet weather throughout the day for mother's day. if you're out and about, just bear that in mind. there will be spells of rain across the south of england pushing through into eastern wales, at least possibly reaching the rest
9:58 pm
of wales and north west england by the time we get to the end of the day. some rain, too, just spreading in from the south across parts of scotland. but it won't be raining all the time. still cold for these north sea facing coasts. temperatures just ten or 11 degrees celsius underneath the cloud and the rain. but then the winds lighten as we head into the start of next week as that low pressure pulls its way further eastwards. so there will be a lot of dry weather around on monday and tuesday. and although it could be quite cloudy for many of us, it won't feel so cold because the winds will be that bit lighter. temperatures are set to climb, though, as we head through the week. bye— bye.
