and coming up on bbc news, wales sacked manager rob page after three and a half years in charge following and a half years in charge following a string of disappointing results for the national side. good afternoon, and welcome to the bbc news at one. a police chief who lied about his military achievements has been found guilty of gross misconduct. northamptonshire police chief constable nick adderley was dismissed from the force and barred from any futurejobs in policing. doubts about his record first emerged over a falklands war medal that he wore, despite being too young to have served in the conflict. our midlands correspondent navteonhal is in northampton. navtej, what did the panel find?

this extraordinary series of events was sparked by a complaint from a member of the public who turned out to be nick adderley�*s ex wife who took issue with media reports about his naval record, and that has led to this, a gross misconduct hearing investigating claims about nick adderley�*s career which include him implying that he had served in the falklands war despite being just 15 at the time, that he had worked as a military negotiator in haiti in the 19805 even though he had never visited the country, and that he had worn military medals that he had not earned and in one case, the south atlantic medal, the falklands war medal, was in the words of one expert, 110% a fake. all of those allegations were proven. the panel dismissed nick adderley from his job and they said he lied with arrogant temerity, that he displayed sustained and brazen dishonesty and that his application for the job of

chief constable contained lie upon lie. despite being instructed to do so nick adderley did not attend a hearing and did through his legal counsel attend a statement apologising for her tea may have caused veterans and their families, but the panel did note this incident will cause serious and lasting harm to the police. will cause serious and lasting harm to the police-— to the police. navte'johal, thank ou. rishi sunak has defended his decision not to suspend conservative candidates who allegedly placed bets on the timing of the election. the prime ministerfaced repeated questions from journalists at an event in north wales as opposition parties said they should face tougher action. here's our political correspondent harry farley. harry, what's the prime minister been saying? just a reminder, we know that four people are being looked into over alleged bets about the timing of the election. two of them are conservative election candidates, laura saunders and craig williams. mr williams has apologised saying he made an error ofjudgment. laura

saunders has said she will cooperate with the gambling commission inquiries. another was the conservative director of campaigning and there is also a police officer from the prime minister's close protection team. questions around this continue to overshadow the campaign. rishi sunak has said he is incredibly angry about the allegations. he says because there were independent investigation is ongoing there was a limit to what he could say. this morning he was asked whether he was aware of anyone else who is being looked into. he did not answer that directly but he said if anyone was found to have broken the rules they should not only face the full consequences of the law but he would make sure they are booted out of the conservative party. 0pposition parties are calling for rishi sunak to go further. sir keir starmer accused the prime minister of a total lack of leadership and he says if they were labour candidates they would already be suspended and he called for rishi sunak to give a full account on whether anyone else is involved. less then two weeks now until polling day and to say the least i think these are questions

the conservative party could do without at this stage of the campaign. without at this stage of the campaign-— without at this stage of the camaiun. ., , . , ., ~ all week, the bbc�*s nick robinson has been speaking to the leaders of the uk's seven biggest political parties for panorama. tonight he speaks to the reform uk leader, nigel farage. that's here on bbc one and on iplayer at 7pm. more than 50 organisations and 211,000 people have signed an open letter, urging political parties to do more to support adult social care after the election. the letterfrom charities, care providers and members of the public, says the uk's care provision has slipped far below an acceptable level and calls for reform and investment. here's our social affairs editor, alison holt. my mum has dementia. she was diagnosed at the age of 81, about six years ago now. nicola's mother imelda lives

in a care home on the wirral. we visit her pretty much every day. like many others, nicola wants fixing the care system to be a priority for any new government. with no savings, imelda's council pays for her care, but nicola and her brother still have to pay £2200 top—up each month so she can stay here. what keeps me awake at night is the thought that i now won't have enough in my savings pot to pay if i ever need to go into care. successive governments, they accept that this is crisis, they accept that this is something that has to be addressed, and yet they do nothing. today's letter from the care and support alliance underlines

the pressures on the care system, including councilsjuggling underfunding and increasing demand. have we been doing anything today? coffee morning. in south manchester, 59—year—old brian is paying £500 a month towards his four daily care visits, even though he's on benefits. he is now in debt. i'm behind with my gas and electric and other bills, with paying for the care so much. his uncontrolled tremor stopped him working as an electrician. everybody needs an electrician. i didn't have worries like this at all. you know, ever since i've got poorly and all this, it's like they don't care any more. staff shortages are another major problem, but courtney works for a care company that tries to keep workers by doing things differently. she's paid for the hours she is available, not, as often happens, just for time spent with clients. the company's boss says it would take a national plan for that

to happen more widely. we need to really recognise the skills that this workforce have got and support them to make that difference, but on the flip side we've got to pay them properly. and families want reassurance that whoever forms the new government will take action. alison holt, bbc news. in response to that letter, the conservatives say they will press on with a planned £86,000 cap on adult social care costs in england, from october 2025. labour has confirmed they "will not disrupt" these plans, and will work towards longer—term reform of the sector. the liberal democrats have pledged free personal care for older and disabled people in england, and a higher minimum wage for care workers. a global alert has been issued over fake versions of the medicine ozempic — known as the "skinnyjab" —

by the world health organization. the drug has become a popular way of losing weight, but its main purpose is as a treatment for type 2 diabetes. fake injections have been seized in the uk, us and brazil, and can be dangerous to people's health. wales have sacked their manager rob page after three and a half years in charge of the men's national football team. he led them to the world cup in 2022 — the first time in 64 years — but was heavily criticised after they failed to qualify for euro 202a. the princess of wales has posted a new photograph of prince william on social media to mark his 42nd birthday. the image, of her husband and three children jumping in the air and holding hands, was taken by catherine last month in norfolk. the us military says the temporary pier it built off gaza's coast to help aid deliveries has now been re—anchored.

it's only been operational for around ten days in the month since it was built. we can speak now to our middle east correspondent yolande knell. yolande, how much aid is reaching people in gaza at the moment? this week i was at the kerem shalom crossing, the israel main crossing point with gaza, and there i was shown with otherjournalists something like 1000 lorry loads of aid that had been cleared to go in and was stuck there. there were things like canned goods, rice, fresh fruit and vegetables sitting in the sun. the israeli military body in charge of the crossing point was really putting the blame on the un and on other aid agencies for failing to distribute the aid. i worked out i was just nine miles away from a hospital inside gaza, in khan younis, where we know there are malnourished children being treated.

but when i spoke to the un and aid bodies they told me the situation is very complicated. what they are seeing now especially in southern gazais seeing now especially in southern gaza is lawlessness and a lot of organised gangs really stealing the aid, looting it. they told me as well that they are having problems with what they call arbitrary rules imposed by the israeli authorities but the net result is when we spoke to people in khan younis remotely they tell us they haven't seen any aid in weeks. they tell us they haven't seen any aid in weeke— they tell us they haven't seen any aid in weeks. yolande knell, thank ou. sensitive nhs patient information that was stolen in a hack earlier this month has been published online by cyber criminals. the hackers accessed the data from blood testing company synnovis, which is used by two health trusts in london. let's speak to our cyber correspondentjoe tidy. joe, what kind of personal details are we talking about here? not the kind you want on the internet, i'm afraid. we knew this was coming, this is a ransomware group carrying this out called qilin. it was to be expected. the

chances of them being paid by an organisation like synnovis or the nhs are very low, and that's what they do when they don't get paid, they do when they don't get paid, they publish the data on the internet. i have seen a sample of the data and it includes patient names, nhs numbers, dates of birth, what tests have been carried out and also the doctors and nurses that carried out the tests as well and plenty of the kind of accountancy type spreadsheets between synnovis and the hospitals and gps surgeries that use the service. already before the events last night this was one of the worst cyberattacks in uk history in terms of the impact on patients instantly that was felt around london. there have been around london. there have been around 3000 appointments and operations cancelled so far. jae operations cancelled so far. joe tid , operations cancelled so far. joe tidy. thank _ operations cancelled so far. joe tidy, thank you. hundreds of people are thought to have died during this year's hajj pilgrimage in saudi arabia, as temperatures reach more than 50 degrees celcius. muslims travel from across the world to make the journey to mecca, as our religion editor aleem maqbool reports.

in the searing heat of western saudi arabia, walking for several hours a day, surrounded by many hundreds of thousands of others, performing the five days of the hajj is an arduous undertaking at the best of times. some thrive in the adversity, but each year, hundreds also die of conditions related to heat exhaustion. it may be months until we get the full picture, but given temperatures reached nearly 52 degrees celsius, there have been fears the number that died this year could be much higher than normal. over the years, the saudi authorities have introduced sprinkler systems, tunnel routes and water stations across the massive pilgrimage area, and issue advice to use umbrellas and avoid walking in the hottest parts of the day. they've also tried to control numbers with strict quotas, but many religiously motivated use unofficial routes to get around them, given its incumbent on every muslim with the means to go on hajj at least once in their lifetime.

aleem maqbool, bbc news. the search for missing british teenagerjay slater in tenerife has entered its fifth day. police are refocusing their efforts in the north of the island after "discounting" previous information that led them further south. 0ur reporter nick garnett is there now. nick, what's the latest on the search? the searching today has been here in a village. behind me you can see a block of houses, a little hamlet, where jay slater was last seen. he went into an apartment there for a couple of hours before coming out, taking a selfie and posting it on his snapchat. that was the last that was seen of him and from then no one knows where he went to what has happened to him. they have been searching land below the house there, moving away from a ravine at there, moving away from a ravine at the top of the mountain. the question is what happens now. we have heard from rescue workers who have heard from rescue workers who have been phoning in to their bosses

asking them what they should do and where they should go and how they can help find jay, wherever he has got to. his family have been here and they have said they are distraught at what is happening, they really desperately hope he can still be found safe and well. hick still be found safe and well. nick garnett in tenerife, _ still be found safe and well. nick garnett in tenerife, thank you. more than four in five locum gps in england say they're struggling to find work. a survey by the british medical association found that more than half are considering leaving the nhs because they can't get shifts, despite a high demand for appointments. north korea is building sections of what appears to be a wall in several places near its border with south korea. that's according to new satellite images analysed by bbc verify. it comes at a time of rising tensions between the two countries. wild chimpanzees have been recorded seeking out medicinal plants to eat when they're sick or injured. scientists studying the animals in a forest reserve in uganda collected samples of the plants

the animals used. many were found to have antibacterial or anti—inflammatory properties, and in every case the chimpanzee recovered after eating them. three popular sunscreens have failed effectiveness tests carried out by the consumer organisation which?. it spot—checked 26 different lotions, and said while many did live up to the promises made on the bottle, not all offered the protection that they claimed to. 0ur correspondent alison freeman explains. we are all told to put plenty on in the sun trying to keep us safe from its harmful effects. butjust as summer seems to have finally arrived, spot checks on sunscreens by consumer group which? have found some are not offering as much protection as they claim. after testing 26 in total, which? said three popular products had failed to pass all of the checks. unfortunately some of these products don't actually offer the protection

so many people hope. and i think the legacy that he leaves isjust incredible. and despite the grief and despite the sadness, we have so much to be thankful for, for having rob in our lives. and, you know, he made the world a better place to be. and the world knows rob's story because of his decision to share it with everyone. a private family who went public in order to raise money and awareness, to inform and educate people about living with mnd. his impact has been huge, as has the reaction to his death. we've had so many special messages, and the one that really sticks out, the one that is so special to me, was a message, a personal message, as a parent, from his royal highness, the prince of wales, and that was really heart—warming, really sincere. and that's something that we will treasure as a family forever. his rugby league club, leeds rhinos, has been the focal point for tributes.

the flowers, the scarves, the shirts, are a testament to how he was loved and admired, and have been great comfort to lindsey and their three young children. it was really overwhelming, i think, to see the support and the tributes. and what really struck me was that it wasn't just from the leeds rhinos community, it was from all walks of the rugby league community. and i think that's what rob's done, is brought, you know, a community together through the rugby, through mnd. it was a real privilege and honour to see those, and really heart—warming to see all the tributes. i am just a lad from yorkshire who got to live out his dream of playing rugby league. as a father of three young children, i would never want any family to have to go through what my family and children have since my diagnosis. his final message, recorded on a machine he controlled with his eye movement, was seen and read by millions. but he also left some private ones. i know rob has left messages on there for the children. so at the minute it's too raw to do

that, to go and look through the machines. but there are birthday messages on there. there are messages for the future, the children in the future. his family now face that future without him, but with the comfort from knowing that in his life, rob burrow achieved so much and touched so many people. and in the years to come, through his fundraising and his specialist mnd centre, his legacy will be very much assured. john maguire, bbc news. now it's time to join our colleagues with the news where you are. welcome to bbc news. the conservatives have been defending their position to not... for alleged

bets on the election and when it will be held. for people linked to the prime minister are being investigated for alleged bets on the timing of the election. rishi sunak was in north wales to launch the welsh conservative manifesto and he again promised to boot out from the conservative party anyone found to have broken gambling laws. there are multile have broken gambling laws. there are multiple investigations _ have broken gambling laws. there are multiple investigations currently - multiple investigations currently happening. it's ride those investigations are allowed to proceed and they are independent and necessarily confidential as you would appreciate and there is also a criminal investigation and these are potential criminal matters and the police are conducting those. you'll be aware of that and because of that i hope we can appreciate there is not much more i can add. what i can tell you if anyone is found to have broken the rules, they should not only face the full consequences of the law but i will ensure that they are booted out of the conservative party as well.

to build new homes but they haven't said anything about the accessibility of those homes and they haven't pledged anything around accessibility of housing. 0ur panel of experts that we had on said that only about 7% of the housing stock is acceptable and accessible and it's hard to match housing stock up with people who need it and one in three renters are in houses that are unsuitable for them in terms of disabled people. find unsuitable for them in terms of disabled people.— unsuitable for them in terms of disabled --eole. �* ., , disabled people. and you have been talkin: disabled people. and you have been talking about _ disabled people. and you have been talking about the _ disabled people. and you have been talking about the questions - disabled people. and you have been talking about the questions people i talking about the questions people are asking right now. yes. talking about the questions people are asking right now.— are asking right now. yes, people are asking right now. yes, people are askin: are asking right now. yes, people are asking about _ are asking right now. yes, people are asking about the _ are asking right now. yes, people| are asking about the conservatives had a policy around every new home having a level of accessibility but that has not been implemented yet so they are asking when that's going to happen. another question that our audience has been asking and is probably one we have had more messages about than anything else is

about the covid—19 pandemic and how they have been forgotten about, these people who are immunocompromised, who are still shielding and leading restricted lives in case they get it and they are not here or hearing politicians talk about it as an issue in this campaign. they are not hearing about it in the news but for them, it's a real issue and it's not going away for them and we spoke to a person from disability rights uk and she was on a panel and she told us how many people are still shielding. there was a report in parliament last year about november that put the figure at 800,000, which is quite a lot. that's a lot, yeah. and that 800,000 people are really still very worried. many of those people didn't have the vaccinations because their bodies wouldn't allow that vaccination. i think also now many of them

are worried that if they do get covid, they can't get easy, quick access to the antiviral treatments. the health service, if you like, isn't in a position anymore, it seems to me, to react quickly and that builds the fear because then you think, oh, my goodness, if i do get exposed, i'm on my own and it could end in death. and another thing that she spoke about was the issue of lung covid. she reckons that around 1.9 million people have some level of long covid and three or 400,000 of those have symptoms that are quite similar to chronic fatigue syndrome so they are essentially disabled and they are struggling every day, but they haven't had the access to what they need and we talk about numbers here

and it's quite hard to count these people and count the people who are shielding but they do feel forgotten that they feel it's a big issue my cabinets are not talking about and they are two their hope that the covid inquiry will address their concerns when that continues. emma, ou are concerns when that continues. emma, you are speaking _ concerns when that continues. emma, you are speaking the _ concerns when that continues. emma, you are speaking the summary - concerns when that continues. emma, you are speaking the summary from . you are speaking the summary from each political party about what they are offering for disabled voters. what have they been telling you? they've talked quite a lot about and if it's coming disability benefits and getting disabled people back into work, which is what we would have expected because of some of the stories are coming outjust before the election was called. they have talked quite a lot about social care and we have talked about housing as well and what we have been talking about today. i've spoken to the

minister for disabled people, about today. i've spoken to the ministerfor disabled people, health minister for disabled people, health and ministerfor disabled people, health and work in the conservative party, spoken to angela rayner, spoken to ed davey from the liberal democrats and they will all be available next week on the axis of podcast which you can find by searching for us on bbc sounds. you can find by searching for us on bbc sounds-— you can find by searching for us on bbc sounds. emma, thank you very much indeed _ bbc sounds. emma, thank you very much indeed and _ bbc sounds. emma, thank you very much indeed and you _ bbc sounds. emma, thank you very much indeed and you can _ bbc sounds. emma, thank you very much indeed and you can hear - bbc sounds. emma, thank you very | much indeed and you can hear more about what each political parties are offering disabled voters are going to... with a less than a fortnight ago to polling day, we've been hearing that main party leaders have an answering questions from that bbc question time audience. we heard a number of claims last night on the bbc verify team has been assessing these. lats

power, partly because of student visas running out and people leaving as a result. next, let's have a look at rishi sunak. he was grilled about the nhs and his record on waiting times. we the nhs and his record on waiting times. ~ ., �* the nhs and his record on waiting times. ~ . �* ., the nhs and his record on waiting times. . . �* ., ., , the nhs and his record on waiting times. . . �* ., . times. we haven't made as much rouress times. we haven't made as much progress as _ times. we haven't made as much progress as i _ times. we haven't made as much progress as i would _ times. we haven't made as much progress as i would have - times. we haven't made as much progress as i would have now- times. we haven't made as much progress as i would have now butj progress as i would have now but because — progress as i would have now but because of— progress as i would have now but because of the things we are doing, what you _ because of the things we are doing, what you have seen of this year as now starting to come down. this is what has happened _ now starting to come down. this is what has happened in _ now starting to come down. this is what has happened in england. - now starting to come down. this is| what has happened in england. you can see that waiting lists have gone up can see that waiting lists have gone up over the last few years and this is the picture if we assume an even more recently. that red dot is when rishi sunak became prime minister. you can see the waiting lists are coming down from record highs here but that progress has stalled in the last few months and you will notice the waiting lists in england are still higher than when mr sunak came to power. you also heard him say this. , ., ., , ., .,

and to wales.
