of women and babies, when it's published later this morning. the inquiry will conclude that 201 babies might have survived, if better maternity support had been provided by the shrewsbury and telford hospital trust. our social affairs correspondent, michael buchanan, has been following the investigation. adam is nearly 11 years old. he is hearing impaired. he's visually impaired, he's autistic. he's asthmatic. he has learning difficulties and developmental delays. in the hours after his birth, adam cheshire was refusing to feed. he had developed an infection, group b strep, that staff at the royal shrewsbury hospital failed to spot. and on each occasion that i called them, they kept checking him and saying, "it's fine. don't worry about it. he's 0k." hello, you! hello. have you come to say hello?

hello. adam spent 23 days in intensive care, but survived. are you playing upstairs? he was being referred to as a miracle. nobody had expected him to live. can you go play upstairs, please, sweetheart? because everyone had expected him to die. however, when charlotte started questioning why her son was profoundly disabled, she realized that she'd received poor maternity care. if they had induced me sooner, because natural labour wasn't starting. if they had monitored him appropriately after his birth. if they had made sure he fed. if they had even taken me seriously when i was saying there's something wrong. that's why i believe they're responsible for not — all those warning signs that they missed. the family say the royal shrewsbury hospital didn't carry out any investigation into why adam was disabled, a common theme of the trust over many years, and so the errors continued.

i went in on thursday. waters was leaking. they didn't induce me until saturday. four years after charlotte cheshire, hayley matthews had a similar experience. she was left for hours after waters broke. if they'd have listened to me from the beginning, you know, jack probably would have been here today. in what way? i repeatedly asked for a caesarean and i was knocked back every chance. jack was born in a poor condition and died just 11 hours old. they literally said, "we don't know why he's died". and i asked, "is that it? you don't know why he's died?" and then they said, "well, we don't know what else to tell you." and i was like, "well, i want a postmortem, because a baby just doesn'tjust die." the postmortem found jack had died of group b strep, but still the trust didn't learn. baby pippa.

shortly after this video was taken, pippa griffiths had died, aged 31 hours. again, it was group b strep again. again, her mother's concerns had been ignored. ijust thought, i can't hear the breathing any more. l and i sort of went stilll and watched her chest. and it wasn't... so i put my hand under her nose to feel the breath, _ and there was nothing. over a thousand families in shropshire will learn today the extent to which they were failed by the nhs. the trust say they took full responsibility for their errors, and offered their sincere apologies. michael buchanan, bbc news shrewsbury. we will be following that story throughout the morning. we will be speaking to a mother who lost her

baby shortly after her birth in 2010, after staff at the royal shrewsbury hospital failed to spot she had pneumonia. we will also have michael live on the programme. more fines could still be issued as part of an investigation into rule—breaking parties in downing street during lockdown. that's the warning from the met police, who have handed out 20 fixed penalty notices so far. let's get more now from our chief political correspondent, adam fleming, who is in westminster for us. has there been a government response? has there been a government response?_ has there been a government resonse? �*, , response? the government's response is incredibly low-key. _ response? the government's response is incredibly low-key. yesterday - response? the government's response is incredibly low-key. yesterday the i is incredibly low—key. yesterday the prime _ is incredibly low—key. yesterday the prime minister's official spokesperson wouldn't even acknowledge the issuing of these finds mount of the log had been broken — finds mount of the log had been broken in — finds mount of the log had been broken in government buildings where the law_ broken in government buildings where the law was made. there is a chance they may— the law was made. there is a chance they may never own, the identities of people _ they may never own, the identities of people find when this is over because — of people find when this is over because the government is only committing to confirm if the prime minister— committing to confirm if the prime minister and the cabinet secretary, simon _

translation: yes, we can call. positive the signals we hear from the negotiating platform. but these signals do not silence the explosion of the russian shells. of course we see all the risks. of course we see no reason to trust the words of certain representatives of a state that continues to fight for our destruction. ukrainians are not naive people. until now, the strategically important northern city of chernihiv has also been a target for the russians. but ukrainian and american officials are warning that moscow's pledged to scale back its operation here, as well as around the capital kyiv, could just be a tactic designed to mislead. there's certainly no let up in russia's assault in the south—east. at least 12 people were killed yesterday in this strike on ukrainian government building.

new satellite images show the extent of the damage in mariupol, still besieged by russian forces. the war, which has forced more than 10 million people from their homes, is far from over. jon donnison, bbc news. let's speak now to our correspondent jonah fisher, who is in the western ukrainian city of lviv. talk of potential peace agreements. what is the reality like there? the reali is what is the reality like there? the reality is that _ what is the reality like there? the reality is that of the war still goes — reality is that of the war still goes on _ reality is that of the war still goes on here. we had confirmation from _ goes on here. we had confirmation from the _ goes on here. we had confirmation from the ukrainian ministry of defence — from the ukrainian ministry of defence overnight that they had also observed _ defence overnight that they had also observed something of a pull—back from around the capital kyiv and also chernihiv, but they were very clear— also chernihiv, but they were very clear they — also chernihiv, but they were very clear they did not regard this as being _ clear they did not regard this as being a — clear they did not regard this as being a withdrawal. they regarded it as being _ being a withdrawal. they regarded it as being a _ being a withdrawal. they regarded it as being a regrouping, redeployment. and that _ as being a regrouping, redeployment. and that these forces were almost certainly— and that these forces were almost certainly going to move towards

the local supermarket closed weeks ago and this village is far from safe. "we just want peace — we can live without a lot," she says. "but tell them — the russians — to stop bombing us." locals debate passionately over what ukraine should do next. compromise, or not give an inch to putin's expansionist ambitions. over two visits to this town we've seen and heard numerous explosions. russians shelling the southern front. this village is the last one before the front line. shells land in these fields periodically and the next village down the road is occupied by russian troops and civilians have been killed in these villages. now, many younger people have left here already, but others, in particular the elderly, they remain. but they know they are taking a big risk. lida's modest farm is right

at the edge of 0rikhiv, the most exposed and dangerous part of town. her sick husband and children are safe a few miles away. but she remains, looking after her crops and animals. she takes me to see where she sleeps — not in the house but in this cold, damp cellar. primitive cover from the russian shells. translation: i'm hiding here in this bunker because they are bombing us| and attacking us from each side. i hate them, i hate them. we used to live in peace and we were happy. in a small town where war is an unwelcome visitor, everyone is adapting quickly. doctors from 0rikhiv�*s small

hospital, nurses and first aiders, given a crash course in battlefield medicine and dealing with trauma. they are keen to learn, but they know this is serious. shortly after we left 0rikhiv we got a call from lida. there had just been a big attack. 0ne shell landed in herfield, more in the town itself. shaken but determined, lida stayed and spent the night in her shelter. wyre davies, bbc news. it is 14 it is 1a minutes past six. let's checkin it is 1a minutes past six. let's check in with matt for the first look at the weather. good morning. a big change for many of you today. some will have been in t—shirts yesterday. you will be dragging out the big jacket today. arctic air with just about all. not reaching southern england and wales until later tonight. with the colder air it is going to turn increasingly wintry. some of you seeing some

sleet and snow this morning. more to come as well. the blue is where the rain is falling. some towards the south and east, some towards northern england. the whites is sleet and snow. these are the areas where the temperatures have already dropped. there could be a slight covering of snow here and there this morning, although a few centimetres in the hills of northern scotland. that will slowly drift its way south today. cold rain in parts of northern england, pushing into north wales and north midlands. the snow flurries in south—east scotland clearing away. much of southend west scotland will have a fine afternoon with plenty of sunshine. showers in the north with the strengthening wind. some of the best weather will be across the channel islands today. a few showers. it will feel much colder in the wind. further rain,

sleet and snow, particularly over the hills. lower levels in scotland. sunshine in between. some in south—west scotland will get through the day dry and reasonably sunny. into this evening and overnight outbreaks of rain continue to work their way affecting the south—east corner. could turn to sleet and snow for a time, so any chance of recovering is limited. it is going to be a night of a widespread frost and some ice around as well to take us into the start of thursday. rain and snow across the near continent could get close to kent through the day and some strong winds blowing towards the south—east corner towards the south—east corner towards thursday and onto friday. notice the temperatures for the rest of the week. the cold air will be hanging around. today and tomorrow the coldest of the days. the winds easing down through friday on the weekend. probably not quite as chilly. west is best for the song to

tomorrow. more cloud will build from the north as we go through friday into saturday, and indeed sunday. more details as we go throughout the morning. that is how it is looking for now. thank you for now. let's take a look at today's papers. most of the front pages feature photographs of the queen at the memorial service for the duke of edinburgh at westminster abbey. "queen of broken hearts", is the headline on the sun. it was so lovely to see her thereafter the speculation she would not be able to make it because of mobility issues. the guardian also features a picture of the queen, and highlights the decision by the royal family to allow prince andrew a key role at the service, following his civil case settlement over sexual abuse allegations. a picture of him escorting the queen to her seat at the beginning of the service. speculation in some of the papers as to whether that was the best or the right decision. mar; best or the right decision. may deliberately — best or the right decision. may deliberately it _

well, essentialy they're saying demand for help is as high as it has ever been, and they need more donations to cope. good morning. we all know the reasons for this — prices across the board have been going up and the next couple of weeks will see even more pressure on budgets. there's the energy price cap rise this friday, and then national insurance goes up on the 6th of april. we've been speaking to fareshare — they're a charity that gives leftover shop food that's still good to eat to organisations like community groups. those groups then pass it on to people who need it. the charity told us more than three quarters of the organisations they distribute food to had seen an increase in requests for help over the past year. demand is at the highest level it's ever been. what's driving that? two thirds said it's because of the increasing cost of food — just over half of the groups said rising energy bills were a factor.

63% said changes to universal credit meant people had less money in their pocket. unemployment and low pay also being blamed. this all comes as inflation — the rate at which prices are going up — continues to climb even higher. it hit 6.2% last month, and it's forecast to rise to nearly 9% this year now. charities and community groups we've been speaking to say people who have never struggled to feed themselves before are now asking for help. as emma simpson has been finding out. food that would have gone to waste, but good enough to eat. once a week at the small community centre in aylsham, it's available for everyone. there are plenty of takers. most don't want to be identified. alison's been coming for a few months. normally, what i do is i'll obviously make some soup with these. that will then last a couple of

days, which is very, very helpful. she's a single mum. coming here, i would say today i would have at least saved £10, maybe more. and, you know, that really helps. how much are you watching the pennies? a lot. too much, really. yeah, it's not fair. maybe i'm one of the lucky ones. i work part—time, i'm getting universal credit. but it's still a worry, when you think how much the electric and the gas is going up. and i just don't think this government are living in the real world. i would love to have them have my wages for a month, and i'll have theirs. and every time the food arrives, more people are turning up. in the last two months, we've seen the queue increase from about four or five people waiting outside, to, you know, 25, 30 people, and then people come in throughout the day as well. it is really shocking,

because i think it's all kinds of people. here's the charity that distributes the food, unwanted produce donated from retailers and manufacturers. they need more of it to keep up with demand. so many people have been affected by the rise in energy costs, by the fact that very basic staple items are going up to a higher price. and that means that more and more people are finding their income stretched across the month. and so what we have been seeing is that these charities have come and wanted to increase the food that they take from us to meet that need at their end. they say an apple a day keeps the doctor away. back at home, alison's making good use of the surplus food with her daughter, gracie. it's very scary at the moment. i go to bed at night and you think about things, and then i start rubbing my hair. i've got a big patch there, because i'm getting so worried about things.

a mum who knows there are harder times ahead. emma simpson, bbc news, aylsham. the government told us it can't protect everyone from the global reasons behind rising prices, but pointed to the measures the chancellor announced last week. they include a cut to fuel duty, increasing the threshold at which you start to pay national insurance, and changes to universal credit. but, with prices set to rise even further, the charities we spoke to say they can only see demand for their help increasing. and also, people who would traditionally have given to charities are also feeling the pinch themselves. charities are also feeling the pinch themselves-— charities are also feeling the pinch themselves. these are people who have never— themselves. these are people who have never struggled _ themselves. these are people who have never struggled in _ themselves. these are people who have never struggled in this - themselves. these are people who have never struggled in this way i have never struggled in this way before. they are now seeing the effects of all of this. a perfect storm coming together and hitting their budgets. i was talking to the lady on the

till in the supermarket a couple of weeks ago and she said from way she looks at the baskets where people put their donations to the food bank, she had noticed that fewer people had been able to donate because they are saving the money themselves. there is that not gone of how much is being given. very much so. thank you. 2? of how much is being given. very much so. thank you. 27 minutes ast six. parish council meetings don't usually make headline news — but that's exactly what happened last year when a recording of a chaotic session of handforth officials went viral. the unlikely star was jackie weaver, a clerk who kicked councillors off the call after they accused her of having no authority there. now, a new investigation has looked at who was at fault, as judith moritz reports. this meeting has not been called according to the law. the law has been broken. it has been properly called... will you please let the chairman...? mrs weaver, please!

this is the only parish council meeting ever to have reached a global audience. the town of handforth in east cheshire put itself on the international map after a barney between attendees at this online meeting went viral. i take charge. _ read the standing orders. read them and understand them! at the centre was jackie weaver, a local government official brought in to run proceedings. some councillors didn't believe that she had the mandate to take charge. you have no authority here, jackie weaver. no authority at all. now, it turns out that mrs weaver didn't have the authority to mute and virtually eject participants on zoom. the findings were made in a report published by cheshire east council into goings—on at the parish council. it says that although mrs weaver's behaviour was understandable, she wasn't acting in an official capacity. myjury is still out on that. i think at the time we had

very little, if any, guidance on how to to run a meeting virtually. there was certainly nothing set out in law about how you do it. and i guess that in the heat of the moment, my thought was that actually moving them into the waiting room is not removing them from the meeting. the report also says three former parish councillors probably breached some of their code of conduct. they resigned from office during the process, and some of them have said they don't accept the findings. since the scandal, jackie weaver has become a bit of a star, popping up on celebrity mastermind. she's even turned on christmas lights. but there's been a downside, too. investigating the infamous online row has cost cheshire east council more than £85,000. judith moritz, bbc news. no authority at all. and he's right. he got the last

with the showers could turn wintry, over higher ground largely but even to lower levels as well we might get a little sleet and hail. temperatures dipping down to one celsius, so a chilly start. still seeing that north—easterly breeze feeding in some showers tomorrow, and with that colder air they could be wintry over higher ground largely. some sunny spells through tomorrow, but the wind will make things feel cold. it is going to stay fairly breezy as we head overnight and into friday, at a temperature still cold. gradually the windfall is lighter, we will see sunny spells but the temperatures are still struggling through the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. good withjon kay and nina warhurst. morning. thank y( us, good morning. thank you forjoining us, it isjust good morning. thank you forjoining us, it is just after half past six.

australia will bid farewell to one of its favourite and most famous sons today. a state memorial service is being held in melbourne for the cricketer shane warne, who died earlier this month at the age of 52. here's a reminder of his career. that is shane warne's first delivery in a test match in england. he's comprehensively bowled mike gatting. generally, when you start a spell, you just want to play. it's probably the best ball i've ever bowled. the way he would just bowl - for a house for the team and do whatever was required, but also at the same time, l having lots of different thoughts l about how he might get people out. that's the end of that. he was the inspiration to a lot of other other people. - i played in an era of australian cricket that was the best side in the world for 15 years,

and i played some of the with and against some of the greatest cricketers that have ever played to achieve some of the things that i achieved as an individual along the way. and thatjust blew my mind. it was more than my, you know, i ever could imagine. that's the real art of spinning. i made plenty of mistakes along myjourney. it could almost be forgiven for - anything because he was shane warne. there's a great outpouring - of emotion in australia and around the world at the moment - because we're grieving as though it's somebody we know, . even if we didn't know him. there's this sense that he's been. such a big part of the conversation of the game, of the national sport for three decades. - it's just a staggering thing that he's no longer here. _ it is, isn't it? what a loss. we can head to melbourne now, where the memorial service for shane warne is due to begin shortly. our correspondent phil mercer is there. phil, what can we expect? he isa he is a household name over here for his sporting prowess and his big personality. how big of a character is he for australians?—

1994 that he took a hat—trick in that ashes test against england, so many memories for all of the celebrities, the sports people he knew, and also tens of thousands of fans who have been invited to come today wearing cricket kit to remember a man who was the ultimate showbiz cricketer. brute remember a man who was the ultimate showbiz cricketer.— showbiz cricketer. we can see them startin: to showbiz cricketer. we can see them starting to arrive _ showbiz cricketer. we can see them starting to arrive at _ showbiz cricketer. we can see them starting to arrive at the _ showbiz cricketer. we can see them starting to arrive at the ground. i starting to arrive at the ground. what is planned for this service? what is planned for this service? what sort of tone will it have? i imagine it will be very proud moment for so many australians. yes. imagine it will be very proud moment for so many australians.— for so many australians. yes, shane worn's family _ for so many australians. yes, shane worn's family will _ for so many australians. yes, shane worn's family will be _ for so many australians. yes, shane worn's family will be heavily - worn's family will be heavily involved, his three children, his mother, his father, his brother. so in that way it will be a very personal moment shared with tens of thousands of people. he had many celebrity friends that we knew, elton john, celebrity friends that we knew, eltonjohn, robbie williams, chris martin and ed sheeran are sending a

that memorial for shane. the time now is 6.38. sarah is here, and there is a lot of football to catch up there is a lot of football to catch up on. there is a lot of football to catch u- on. , , ., ., there is a lot of football to catch uon. , ., ., there is a lot of football to catch uon. , ., up on. yes, there is a lot to catch u . up on. yes, there is a lot to catch u- on, up on. yes, there is a lot to catch on on. all — up on. yes, there is a lot to catch on on. all the _ up on. yes, there is a lot to catch up on, all the social— up on. yes, there is a lot to catch up on, all the social media i up on. yes, there is a lot to catch j up on, all the social media feeds, all the screens. brute up on, all the social media feeds, all the screens.— up on, all the social media feeds, all the screens. we will nip out for all the screens. we will nip out for a coule all the screens. we will nip out for a coople of — all the screens. we will nip out for a couple of hours _ all the screens. we will nip out for a couple of hours and _ all the screens. we will nip out for a couple of hours and let - all the screens. we will nip out for a couple of hours and let you i a couple of hours and let you summarise!— a couple of hours and let you summarise! ., ., ., .,~ ., summarise! you do that, take a break. it was a hectic night of international football, with plenty of talking points. we'll come on to the fate of north macedonia in a moment — you'll remember we spoke about them on the programme yesterday as they bid for a first world cup. but let's start with the home nations who were all in friendly action last night. england are already through to qatar, and they were continuing their preparations for that. it was an easy victory over ivory coast at wembley. ollie watkins scored on his first england start to help them towards the 3—0 win. difficult night though for harry maguire. booed by some sections of the england fans after poor form with his club side manchester united this season.

we're either all in this together or we're not. and don't think for one minute the other players won't be looking at that thinking, that could be me one day, and that's been one of the problems we've played for england. players have thought, do i want to go? because when it turns a little bit difficult, then the crowd are going to turn on me. and that happened withjohn barnes here, and that happened with ashley cole a couple of times. it happened with raheem. now, harry, they're all outstanding players. and so how that is going to benefit anybody, i really don't understand. scotland have extended their unbeaten run to eight games, that's despite letting slip a two—goal lead in austria. this goalfrom john mcginn had given steve clarke's side a comfortable advantage before conceding late goals. scotland still have their postponed world cup play—off semi—final against ukraine and a potential final to come. wales drew 1—1 with the czech republic at the cardiff city stadium. luke colvill equalising shortly

after they had gone behind. whilst northern ireland were beaten 1—0 in belfast by hungary. this was the pretty poor defending that led to the only goal of the game. it brings to an end a three—match unbeaten run. now, we talked about north macedonia a lot on the programme yesterday. the small nation making big strides in international football. but last night they fell at the very final hurdle in their efforts to reach a first world cup. they were beaten by portugal. two goals for manchester united's bruno fernandes ensured they will be at the world cup finals along with cristiano ronaldo, who will get perhaps a last chance to compete for footballs greatest prize. christian eriksen enjoyed a special night against serbia. it's the first time he's featured as a player in the copenhagen stadium since that terrible incident at the euros last summer where he collapsed on the pitch

suffering a cardiac arrest. and what a return for him, eriksen scoring a stunner, for denmark's third goal. he also scored on saturday in the loss to the netherlands. denmark and serbia have already qualified for the world cup finals in qatar. away from football, cricket's women's world cup is rapidly reaching a climax with the first of the semi finals taking place this morning. and it's been an uphill struggle for west indies. they're replying to australia's massive 305—3, that's their highest ever score in a knockout world cup match. west indies currently 139—6. it would require the highest run chase in women's odi history to win, so looking like australia heading into sundays final. and will england be there to face them? captain heather knight says they can still improve as they prepare for their semi—final. the defending champions lost their first three games and needed four successive wins to book a meeting with south africa in the early hours

of thursday morning. it's a completely fresh slate, it is us versus south africa and what happens on the day, so we're really excited, we had a really close game against south africa early in the competition, but really excited for what the final could bring. we have built a bit of momentum, we are starting to peak, get a few things in place, if few players in form, so hopefully we can play well. we will see how that develops tomorrow morning. despite losing in the miami open fourth round yesterday britain's cameron norrie could still make the world top ten next week. the british number one is left relying on other results to go his way after losing to norway's casper ruud in straight sets in the fourth round of the miami open. that's it for now. that was quite succinct in the end. sarah, thank you. now, how about this for sibling rivalry?

three brothers from south lincolnshire are in a fierce competition with each other over who can be the best... shepherd. you know how it is! each of the three boys owns a different breed of sheep, and is hoping to come out on top this lambing season. linsey smith has been to meet two of them. the paul brothers are best friends. 12—year—old jacob with his hardy oxford downs and 15—year—old toby with his south downs. but there's nothing like a little sibling rivalry, especially when it comes to lambing. when they're all in the field running around, there's always a lot of competition. we're always arguing who's got the best lambs and sheep and breed. so far this year, i've had 11 lambs.

they're special because they're pretty down on the rare breeds list. the family's lambing started as a hobby but grew during lockdown when they couldn't take their sheep to market, with many of this year's 35 lambs been multiple births. the mums needed some help with feeding. mums haven't died, it's just their mum can't cope with three or four. and it doesn't stop there for mum ruth. i go for providing i we've not lambing. i go to bed at midnight. the alarm goes off it - to the alarm goes off before the alarm goes off at 6:00. and if we're disrupted at all, well, we don't go to bed. i the boys have already won multiple awards for their farming skills.

it's my favourite time of year because i love to bring new life into the world. but there's one musketeer missing — the third and youngest brother, charlie. he was busy at football training when we visited, but we're told when he gets home and checks on his herd, it's when the competition really toughens up. lindsey smith, bbc news, tumby. do you think charlie really was football training, i do think he was doing extra training with the lambs? i think there is a lot of tactics. playing mind games! we love that, good luck, boys. we will have to find out who won. it is just after a quarter to seven. i don't know whether it is going to be spring weather for those lambs. apparently not! it is a giveaway, isn't it! good morning to you, a big change taking place uk wide, it is going to

be much colder than we have been used to, and whilst we're only talking about a dusting of snow here and there, there will be wintry weather around as well, but not will see it. certainly the biggest change today will come in the areas that were warmest yesterday, parts of west wales, north—west england, northern ireland, temperature 16—19 yesterday, only 4—8 today, and in the wind it will feel even colder than that. so be prepared, take something worn out if you are going to leave the house. we have the rain, the blue colours towards the south—east corner, some across northern wales, northern england, northern ireland, we have sleet and snow it is going to get a temporary covering mainly on the hills, so you could see a little bit to the lower levels, south—east scotland, the far north—east of england but certainly the far north with showers coming in on the breeze. a bit of sunshine developing quite widely, the wind easing off in northern ireland, but the rain starts to push towards

wales, parts of the midlands and east anglia later, the best of the weather to the south, and we will see sunshine especially in the south—west but even here colder in recent days, but it is from the midlands northwards that has your temperatures for the afternoon, and the wind will make it even colder than that. that cold wind will reach the south coast through tonight, at of rain, heavy as to what the south—east corner, nothing too substantial, reallyjust a dusting on the hills if anything, further snow showers towards the north and east, the biggest story for most tomorrow will be a frosty and icy start to the day. also quite windy on the far south—east, watching for some rain and snow continuing to affect east anglia and the south—east, wintry showers elsewhere mainly across northern and eastern areas, a mixture of hail, sleet and snow, and where you have got the sunshine all those showers, another fairly chilly day, temperatures up a little today, and the wind will be stronger, so it will feel pretty

cold out there. we could see some snow affecting parts of kent as we go through thursday night and into friday, 50 mph gust possible, and widespread frosts away from there to take us into friday across the country, but a lovely, bright start, still a few sleet and snow showers towards eastern areas, the rain and sleet clears away, and then clouding overin sleet clears away, and then clouding over in the north with more snow on the hills, but many will have a dry afternoon. feeling a little less chilly. thank you very much indeed. it is coming up to ten to seven. the first batch of fines relating to covid breaches at number 10 during lockdown have been issued by the met police. 20 fixed penalty notices have been handed out so far — with a warning from officers that more fines could be on the way. ros atkins has been looking at the latest developments in the partygate probe. at the start of december,

borisjohnson responded to the first report of parties in number 10 that broke covid rules. all guidance was followed completely during number10. more details soon emerged and six days later, the prime minister responded again. well, i can tell you is that all the guidelines were observed, but guidelines weren't observed at some events. we know that because the metropolitan police has confirmed that 20 fixed penalty notices are to be issued for breaches of covid—19 regulations. these breaches were in whitehall and downing street, and they come with a fine for breaking the law, which means this. whatever happens next, one fact has been established today. the police think that covid laws were broken and some of the very buildings where they were being set.

now we don't know who's been fined, the number ten says. it's not been told. borisjohnson is among them, but this is not the end of the matter. the met says due to the significant amount of investigative material that remains to be assessed, further referrals may be made. those referrals may connect to any of the 12 events the police are investigating. and while the met continues its work, we also wait on sue gray. she's the senior civil servant who's investigating the same gatherings, plus another four. her initialfindings already note failures of leadership and judgment by different parts of no10 and the cabinet office, and a full report may bring more detail. it is likely untold to name certain individuals and the role they played in some of these events. and while we wait on that report, its borisjohnson's mps who control his immediate fate. some called for him to go injanuary. a few have since withdrawn that demand. most of his employees, though, have stood by him throughout. the prime minister has taken steps to rebuild confidence, so we've seen him apologise. he's changed several members of his senior team to boost that operation around him. and also, i think he's shown really strong leadership on the world stage when it comes to ukraine and russia. boris johnson's supporters are rallying around, but the opposition wants him to resign. i mean, the prime minister

has completely lied about this situation. the police have issued fines, so therefore lockdown rules have been breached and the prime minister has to go. but to be clear, borisjohnson has not been fined. we don't know whether he attended events which have led to fines or if he was aware of rule breaking at the time. but injanuary he did apologise to the public. i know the rage they feel with me and with the government i lead when they think that in downing street itself, the rules are not being properly followed by the people who make the rules. as for the initial statements from the prime minister, numbner ten continues to insist that at all times he set out his understanding of events that we now know at some times that understanding was inaccurate and number ten was less categorical on another question. here's pippa courier, who broke the original story, tweeting that the prime minister's spokesperson refuses to say if he now accepts the law has been broken. but whether number 10 accepts this

or not, the police say that is what happened. and as we consider that, consider to these comments earlier this month from cabinet ministerjacob rees—mogg. he suggested that in the context of the war in ukraine, the party story was the disproportionate fluff of politics. that, of course, is disputed. what is clear, though, is that the reason this story has had impact is because of what boris johnson told the country as the virus surged. our plan does rely on all of us continuing to make sacrifices to protect those we love, so please, please continue to follow the rules. but the police now say the rules weren't followed in downing street and whitehall at a time when obeying them was presented as a matter of life and death. and so that's now led to these fines. we don't know if there's a political cost to be paid too. that was ros atkins reporting. we are going to bejoined in about half an hour by deputy prime minister dominic raab, and we will put some of that to him. the tower of london moat will be

transformed into a huge field of flowers this summer, as part of the celebrations for the queen's platinum jubilee. more than 20 million seeds are being planted — and organisers expect the first flowers to bloom in earlyjune. our royal correspondent, sarah campbell, is at the tower for us this morning. they have grown already, sarah, remarkable! good morning to you yes, i have some demonstration flowers because you will have to use your imagination a little. a huge transformation has gone on at the tower of london moat, something like 10,000 tonnes of topsoil has already been put in. the workers are busily planting some seeds at the back. there has been a huge amount of prep work that has gonein huge amount of prep work that has gone in to create this ocean of flowers, they are calling it, and the man behind it, one of the people behind it, is nigel. just explain to us what the thinking is behind this and what can people expect to see, because it is going to look very different in two months. it is

fighting in parts of the country. here, ed sheeran and a host of other stars raise £12 million at a charity concert for humanitarian efforts in ukraine. good morning. the world of sport and beyond is getting ready to say goodbye to shane warne. the state memorial for the australian cricket legend will take place in a few hours' time in melbourne, after warne died of a suspected heart attack earlier this month and a weather shock to the system today as arctic air moves its way southwards across the country. for some, some snow. details coming up. good morning. it's wednesday, the 30th of march. our main story. a report into the largest maternity scandal ever seen in the nhs is expected to reveal serious failings in the care of hundreds of women and babies, when it's published later this morning. the inquiry will conclude that 201

babies might have survived, if better maternity support had been provided by shrewsbury and telford hospital trust. dozens of other children sustained life changing injuries as a result of the failures, as our social affairs correspondent, michael buchanan, reports. adam is nearly 11 years old. he is hearing impaired. he's visually impaired, he's autistic. he's asthmatic. he has learning difficulties and developmental delays. in the hours after his birth, adam cheshire was refusing to feed. he had developed an infection, group b strep, that staff at the royal shrewsbury hospital failed to spot. and on each occasion that i called them, they kept checking him and saying, "it's fine. don't worry about it. he's 0k." hello, you! hello. have you come to say hello? hello.

adam spent 23 days in intensive care, but survived. are you playing upstairs? he was being referred to as a miracle. nobody had expected him to live. can you go play upstairs, please, sweetheart? because everyone had expected him to die. however, when charlotte started questioning why her son was profoundly disabled, she realized that she'd received poor maternity care. if they had induced me sooner, because natural labour wasn't starting. if they had monitored him appropriately after his birth. if they had made sure he fed. if they had even taken me seriously when i was saying that there's something wrong. that's why i believe they're responsible for not — all those warning signs that they missed. the family say the royal shrewsbury hospital didn't carry out any investigation into why adam was disabled, a common theme of the trust over many years, and so the errors continued. i went in on thursday. waters was leaking. they didn't induce me

until saturday. four years after charlotte cheshire, hayley matthews had a similar experience. she was left for hours after her waters broke. if they'd have listened to me from the beginning, you know, jack probably would have been here today. in what way? i repeatedly asked for a caesarean and i was knocked back every chance. jack was born in a poor condition and died just 11 hours old. they literally said, "we don't know why he's died". and i asked, "is that it? you don't know why he's died?" and then they said, "well, we don't know what else to tell you." and i was like, "well, i want a postmortem, because a baby just doesn'tjust die." the postmortem found jack had died of group b strep, but still the trust didn't learn. baby pippa. shortly after this video was taken, pippa griffiths had died, aged 31 hours. again, it was group b strep again.

again, her mother's concerns had been ignored. ijust thought, i can't hear the breathing any more. l and i sort of went stilll and watched her chest. and it wasn't... so i put my hand under her nose to feel the breath, _ and there was nothing. over a thousand families in shropshire will learn today the extent to which they were failed by the nhs. the trust say they took full responsibility for their errors, and offered their sincere apologies. michael buchanan, bbc news, shrewsbury. michaeljoins us now from the royal shrewsbury hospital now. for those 1000 families, and families across the uk, how

translation: yes, we can call ositive translation: yes, we can call positive the _ translation: yes, we can call positive the signals _ translation: yes, we can call positive the signals we - translation: yes, we can call positive the signals we hear i translation: yes, we can call. positive the signals we hear from the negotiating platform. but of these signals do not silence the explosion of the russian shelves. of course we see all the risks. of course we see all the risks. of course we see no reason to trust the words of certain representatives of the state that continues to fight for destruction. ukrainians are not naive people. and there has been no let up in fighting in the east and south east. in mykolaiv, a southern city near to the black sea, a russian strike on a government building killed at least 12 people and injured more than 28 others. as you can see, a rocket tore a hole through the nine—storey building shortly before 09:00 yesterday morning. authorities are still searching for more survivors in the rubble. the ministry of defence has said russian — the ministry of defence has said russian units have been forced to return _ russian units have been forced to

so i think everyone welcomed the news out of those peace talks yesterday, but the overall message this war is far from over. too soon to hope this is the beginning of the end? i too soon to hope this is the beginning of the end? we beginning of the end? i think so. we are auoin beginning of the end? i think so. we are going to — beginning of the end? i think so. we are going to talk— beginning of the end? i think so. we are going to talk to _ beginning of the end? i think so. we are going to talk to nile _ beginning of the end? i think so. we are going to talk to nile rodgers i are going to talk to nile rodgers later. he was one of those performing at the country last night. we will find out about the atmosphere and the reaction to all that money raised. 21 minutes past seven. let's speak now to our correspondentjonah fisher, who is in the western ukrainian city of lviv. it seems slightly strange to be talking about concerts when you are there in ukraine dealing with what is happening on the ground. what is the reality? we hear all this talk of potentially some kind of ceasefire, some kind of agreement, but they are on the streets, does that feel like a reality, a possibility at all?- that feel like a reality, a possibility at all? there is not that much _ possibility at all? there is not that much talk— possibility at all? there is not that much talk about - possibility at all? there is not| that much talk about ceasefire possibility at all? there is not i that much talk about ceasefire and agreement, i think. that much talk about ceasefire and agreement, ithink. what that much talk about ceasefire and agreement, i think. what we are hearing — agreement, i think. what we are hearing and what we have heard in the past _ hearing and what we have heard in the past day or so, it appears a lot

more _ the past day or so, it appears a lot more like — the past day or so, it appears a lot more like we are talking about a russian — more like we are talking about a russian shift in emphasis, recognising from russia they haven't managed _ recognising from russia they haven't managed to take ukraine's capital, kyiv. _ managed to take ukraine's capital, kyiv. that — managed to take ukraine's capital, kyiv, that they became bogged down outside _ kyiv, that they became bogged down outside the city and indeed have made _ outside the city and indeed have made some losses over the past few days and _ made some losses over the past few days and are now deciding to shift their focus— days and are now deciding to shift their focus away from taking care of itself _ their focus away from taking care of itself towards redeploying elsewhere, most likely into the east of ukraine, — elsewhere, most likely into the east of ukraine, in and around these so-called — of ukraine, in and around these so—called separatist republics of luhansk— so—called separatist republics of luhansk and donetsk, that it has effectively controlled for the last eight _ effectively controlled for the last eight years. we had confirmation from _ eight years. we had confirmation from the — eight years. we had confirmation from the ukrainian ministry of defence — from the ukrainian ministry of defence that they had observed some shifts in— defence that they had observed some shifts in the movement of troops. they— shifts in the movement of troops. they are — shifts in the movement of troops. they are sceptical as to whether it means— they are sceptical as to whether it means much in a positive way, talking — means much in a positive way, talking about it simply being a redeployment or possibly something related _ redeployment or possibly something related to resupply, heading back to belarus _ related to resupply, heading back to belarus or— related to resupply, heading back to belarus or russia before rejoining the fray. i suppose the significant thing that many ukrainians are taking away from the

sense _ ukrainians are taking away from the sense that — ukrainians are taking away from the sense that russia is pulling back from _ sense that russia is pulling back from kyiv— sense that russia is pulling back from kyiv is that the initial goal that russia clearly showed in this conflict _ that russia clearly showed in this conflict when it bought paratroopers into a _ conflict when it bought paratroopers into a strips just outside conflict when it bought paratroopers into a stripsjust outside kyiv, and effectively — into a stripsjust outside kyiv, and effectively tried to drive into the city to _ effectively tried to drive into the city to take it, well, this appears to be _ city to take it, well, this appears to be something of a recognition that this — to be something of a recognition that this is — to be something of a recognition that this is not going to happen, that this is not going to happen, that russia is not, at least in the short-term, _ that russia is not, at least in the short—term, going to be able to take care of _ short—term, going to be able to take care of that— short—term, going to be able to take care of. that also likely removes a scenario _ care of. that also likely removes a scenario where russia could get rid of president zelensky's government by force _ of president zelensky's government by force. so i don't think ukrainians are getting carried away by this _ ukrainians are getting carried away by this. but for many people here, this is— by this. but for many people here, this is a _ by this. but for many people here, this is a first — by this. but for many people here, this is a first acknowledgement from russia _ this is a first acknowledgement from russia that the war is not going particularly well for them. thank— particularly well for them. thank you for that assessment. jonah fisher in living. —— lviv. more fines could still be issued as part of an investigation into rule—breaking parties in downing street during lockdown. that's the warning from the met police, who have handed out 20 fixed penalty notices so far. let's get more now from our chief

borders as well. that whole zone, that's the separation between the slightly less cold air and the arctic air. it is pushing its way southwards today with a strengthening wind. it will move it a part of north wales, the midlands, east anglia later. maybe the art shower. quite a fine day for the channel islands. sunshine further north. temperatures this afternoon around 11 degrees in the south. the rain willadmit it around 11 degrees in the south. the rain will admit it was the south—east of wales, oxfordshire, north of london by the time we reach for a club. notice the temperatures. four to 6 degrees in the winter. lots of sunshine to come this afternoon. some bright spells for northern ireland. still showers across northern scotland, but even here there will be longer spells of sunshine between. but with that added wind chill. the cold arctic air will make added wind chill. the cold arctic airwill make it added wind chill. the cold arctic air will make it towards the south coast and i. heavy rain for a time. a little bit of rain and sleet. maybe sleet and snow on the hills of southern england. nothing more than

a dusting. most will not see anything at all. the big story for tomorrow morning is a cold and frosty day. the risk of ice after the service today and he showers through the night. and i see start to thursday morning. a lot of sunshine in the west. some sleet and snow showers in elgin scotland. dover towards the south—east corner as well. heavier snow close by to —— towards the english channel. it is down here was the south—east corner, strong winds. as you go through the weekend, the winds will ease down. most will see sunshine on friday but increasing amounts of cloud. through the weekend bits of everything, cloud, sunshine, the chance of some showers. staying on the cold side, thames only —— cabbage only slowly lifting. thank you, matt. all happening with

the weather. campaigners are urging the government to rethink proposed changes to social care funding, which would require disabled people to pay up to £85,000 towards their own care over their life time. ministers have defended the plans as fair, but critics say it could leave some people without protection from high care costs. mps will debate the proposals later today. our disability correspondent nikki fox has been finding out what impact the changes could have on people's lives. i focus my energy and spent my days trying _ i focus my energy and spent my days trying to _ i focus my energy and spent my days trying to be _ i focus my energy and spent my days trying to be as productive as possible _ possible. nadia is 29 and lives with possible. — nadia is 29 and lives with his parents. she has cerebral palsy and is profoundly deaf and so far she has struggled to get a job. i is profoundly deaf and so far she has struggled to get a job. has struggled to get a 'ob. i would love to work * has struggled to get a 'ob. i would love to work and i has struggled to get a 'ob. i would love to work and hold i has struggled to get a job. i would love to work and hold down i has struggled to get a job. i would love to work and hold down a i has struggled to get a job. i would love to work and hold down a paid | love to work and hold down a paid long-term — love to work and hold down a paid long—term job. love to work and hold down a paid long—termjob. like love to work and hold down a paid long-term job-— long-term “ob. like thousands of others, long-term job. like thousands of others. she _ long-term job. like thousands of others, she relies— long-term job. like thousands of others, she relies on _ long-term job. like thousands of others, she relies on full-time i others, she relies on full—time care, which is funded mainly by her local authority.

you to the oldest employee working for thameslink. 82—year—old siggy cragwell has been working on the railways since he arrived from barbados in 1962. he says he has no plans to retire. some people say you must be mad to do all this. i say, no, i'm quite happy. i'm not mad. well, you love it, and you've done so many differentjobs in the railway, haven't you? yes. back to when there were steam trains running along here. that's right. i love the rail, and and there's a lot of great people in the rail. let's take a look at the situation on the tubes this morning. there's the ongoing part closure of the northern line and the overground is also part closed. onto the weather now with kate kinsella good morning. a frost—free start this morning, but the temperature is set to get colder. you can see the blue, the colder airjust edging in from the north through today. we start off on a cloudy note. further outbreaks of rain and showers blowing through on a

strengthening north—easterly breeze. it is going to feel chilly today, 12 celsius the maximum, but still in double figures. overnight the wind strengthens, and the colder air mixed with the showers could turn wintry, over higher ground largely, but even to lower levels as well we might get a little sleet and hail. temperatures dropping down to one celsius, so a chilly start. still seeing that north—easterly breeze feeding in some showers tomorrow, and with that colder air they could be wintry over higher ground largely. some sunny spells through tomorrow, but the wind will make things feel cold. it is going to stay fairly breezy as we head overnight and into friday, but the temperature still cold. gradually the windfall is lighter, we will see sunny spells but the temperatures are still struggling through the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in an hour. now, though, it's

back to nina and jon. bye for now. hello, good morning. it isjust after half past seven. this is breakfast with jon kay and nina warhurst. as we've been hearing this morning, 201 babies might have survived had better maternity care been provided shrewsbury and telford nhs trust. that's one of the findings from a five—year inquiry into the scale of the failures uncovered is unprecedented in the history of nhs maternity care. the report is due to be published this morning. we can speak now to the deputy prime minister, dominic raab. thank you forjoining us. we have heard some heartbreaking, terrible stories this morning from families around shrewsbury who have lost their babies during this. what can you say to reassure them, to reassure families across the country, that this can't happen again? country, that this can't happen auain? . ~ country, that this can't happen auain? .

are getting in touch this morning saying, how on earth can something like that happen in 21st—century britain? i like that happen in 21st-century britain? . . like that happen in 21st-century britain? ., ., , ., britain? i agree, and people want answers. britain? i agree, and people want answers it _ britain? i agree, and people want answers it is _ britain? i agree, and people want answers. it is a _ britain? i agree, and people want answers. it is a combination, - britain? i agree, and people want answers. it is a combination, i- answers. it is a combination, i think, of the heartfelt agony that not just the victims think, of the heartfelt agony that notjust the victims will think, of the heartfelt agony that not just the victims will feel think, of the heartfelt agony that notjust the victims will feel but everyone who will empathise i think intuitively with anyone that has been through that. and then there is the technical side of the checks and balances to be put in place to prevent those things ever happening again, and i'm confident that you will see when the report is published both of those elements dealt with, the reassurance at a gut level that mums and dads and the public at large expect to see, but also a systematic look at how those things could ever have happened and how we will prevent that happening again. how we will prevent that happening aaain. ., ., . ~ ., how we will prevent that happening aaain. ., ., ., , again. you acknowledge that people want and desperately _ again. you acknowledge that people want and desperately need - again. you acknowledge that people| want and desperately need answers, and yet it has taken years for some of these families even to be heard in wanting and getting an inquiry. why has it taken so long? some of these cases go back nearly 20 years.

it has taken too long, it has been too agonising, too difficult to un—turn all the stones to get those answers, and i'm sure some of that questions about why that delay has gone on for so long will be answered today. but ultimately, what i think people want is answers and the confidence to know that the problems, systematic as they were, have been addressed, and again, that is for ministers to set out later today. but i can only begin to express my solidarity and sorrow with anyone who was a victim, and of course the mums and the parents and lost babies, lost souls that perished as a result of things that could have been done differently. that is incredibly agonising, and a difficult moment. you that is incredibly agonising, and a difficult moment.— that is incredibly agonising, and a difficult moment. you are right, we have to wait — difficult moment. you are right, we have to wait for _ difficult moment. you are right, we have to wait for the _ difficult moment. you are right, we have to wait for the details - difficult moment. you are right, we have to wait for the details of - difficult moment. you are right, we have to wait for the details of the i have to wait for the details of the full report later, but labour's wes streeting, shadow health secretary, told us earlier on catlike breakfast

that he believes staff shortages are part of the problem. i know you will say the government are investing more than ever before and the nhs and investing loads of money to try and investing loads of money to try and clear the backlog that has arisen after the pandemic, but the fact is we are desperately short of midwives are still, aren't we? even though the conservatives promised ten years ago to recruit thousands of extra midwives, those numbers simply haven't arrived, and that won't be reassuring to parents. we have won't be reassuring to parents. - have got more doctors and nurses this year than last year. there have been systematic investment, and not just in the practitioners, but also the technology. i think wes should wait and read the report before jumping to conclusions. but wait and read the report before jumping to conclusions.- jumping to conclusions. but he doesnt jumping to conclusions. but he doesn't need _ jumping to conclusions. but he doesn't need to _ jumping to conclusions. but he doesn't need to wait _ jumping to conclusions. but he doesn't need to wait for - jumping to conclusions. but he doesn't need to wait for the . jumping to conclusions. but he - doesn't need to wait for the report to know that there are fewer midwives now. i to know that there are fewer midwives now.— to know that there are fewer midwives now. ~ ., , midwives now. i think he does need to wait for the _ midwives now. i think he does need to wait for the report _ midwives now. i think he does need to wait for the report to _ midwives now. i think he does need to wait for the report to see - midwives now. i think he does need to wait for the report to see the - to wait for the report to see the detailed analysis of what went wrong, and therefore the lessons that we need to learn, and indeed to come to a judgment about what we need to do to address it. to just come out with the same lines that

will be repeated, and we've all heard them before, i'm not sure is doing justice to what is such a sensitive and raw issue. lets move on to a different _ sensitive and raw issue. lets move on to a different story, _ sensitive and raw issue. lets move on to a different story, a _ sensitive and raw issue. lets move on to a different story, a different| on to a different story, a different issue, and something that we do know for sure about now. we know that there were at least 20 cases of people breaking the rules, the lockdown rules, in downing street parties. we had that from the metropolitan police yesterday. your colleague jacob metropolitan police yesterday. your colleaguejacob rees—mogg previously described this story as disproportionate fluff. but it is not, is it? to serious now, confirmed a serious.- not, is it? to serious now, confirmed a serious. yes, i think in fairness you _ confirmed a serious. yes, i think in fairness you have _ confirmed a serious. yes, i think in fairness you have taken _ confirmed a serious. yes, i think in fairness you have taken jacob's - fairness you have takenjacob's remark out of context, but he is saying that the government is also focused on a range of other issues. look, i have always said, the prime minister has always said, the government has always had, this is important, it is of public interest and it is very serious. we understand the public concern about this. that is why the sue gray

report was set up. we engaged with it, we embrace the importance of that, and indeed, the pm had already said, has already said, that he accepts responsibility for the things that were not done properly in number 10. things that were not done properly in numberio. he things that were not done properly in number 10. he has apologised, and he has also overhauled already the number 10 operation. there is a significant number of people that have left, new people have come in and we always recognise and respect the net investigation into this, and you are right, 20 people have been subject to fixed penalty notices, and we say that it is absolutely right to have accountability. the net investigation will continue, and after that they will be an opportunity for an update to what sue gray has founded her interim report, and again, the pm, the government, has been very clear there will be full transparency around that.— there will be full transparency around that. ., around that. boris johnson was also ve clear around that. boris johnson was also very clear earlier. _ around that. boris johnson was also very clear earlier. he _ around that. boris johnson was also very clear earlier. he stole - very clear earlier. he stole parliament, he stood at the dispatch box told mps all the guidelines were followed completely, and we now know that was not the case. ijust followed completely, and we now know that was not the case. i just want

to play the clip. this is you talking to sally here on breakfast i think back injanuary. i talking to sally here on breakfast i think back in january._ think back in january. i think the ministerial _ think back in january. i think the ministerial code _ think back in january. i think the ministerial code should - think back in january. i think the ministerial code should be - think back in january. i think the i ministerial code should be followed at all times. what i'm not going to do is give you, speculate on hypothetical questions about when and how it might have been breached, when we have an investigation that is looking at all the claims in relation to the events in downing street, and when the prime minister in fairness has gone to the house of commons, taken questions and given a very candid and clear statement, particularly about the 20th of may. as i said, we're not talking about any hypothetical situation. what i'm trying _ any hypothetical situation. what i'm trying to— any hypothetical situation. what i'm trying to get you to say is, in principle, _ trying to get you to say is, in principle, if a trying to get you to say is, in principle, ifa minister lies trying to get you to say is, in principle, if a minister lies to parliament and fails to correct it, should _ parliament and fails to correct it, should they resign?— parliament and fails to correct it, should they resign? yes. what boris johnson should they resign? yes. what boris johnson centre _ should they resign? jazz what boris johnson centre parliament was should they resign? 123 what boris johnson centre parliament was not true, was it? the guidelines were not followed completely. some say thatis not followed completely. some say that is a breach of the ministerial code, and therefore, according to your own words, should he go? is

that your question to me now? your own words, should he go? is i that your question to me now? yes, your own words, should he go? is - that your question to me now? yes, i am askin: that your question to me now? yes, i am asking you _ that your question to me now? yes, i am asking you now. _ that your question to me now? yes, i am asking you now. i— that your question to me now? yes, i am asking you now. i know _ that your question to me now? yes, i am asking you now. i know that - that your question to me now? yes, i am asking you now. i know that this i am asking you now. i know that this is a strange situation listening to yourself, but you said back then that a minister who breaks the ministerial code, who lied to parliament, should resign. we now know that what boris johnson said parliament, should resign. we now know that what borisjohnson said in know that what boris johnson said in parliament, that all the guidelines had been followed completely, was not true. so the same questions i ask you a few weeks ago, therefore, should borisjohnson resign? the should boris johnson resign? the prime should borisjohnson resign? ii2 prime minister should borisjohnson resign? ti2 prime minister is updating parliament to the best of his knowledge and his understanding. of course there were... and that is very different, so if he has had something which turned out not to be true because we now know there have been 20 fixed penalty notices, we accept it that there are all sorts of claims and allegations that needed to be investigated, and that is why sue gray conducted the review, that is why the met conducted their investigation, we embrace that. but it is something rather different to say that he

lied, which suggest he was deliberately misleading. but since we heard those _ deliberately misleading. but since we heard those words, _ deliberately misleading. but since we heard those words, we - deliberately misleading. but since we heard those words, we have i deliberately misleading. but since i we heard those words, we have seen pictures of him at some of these gatherings. we knew he was there. you are conflating all sorts of things, and first of all, the pm has not to date been issued with a fixed penalty notice, and you're making assertions that he was at parties in relation to photos which i don't think demonstrate that. the point you asked me was about the ministerial code. i think it is one thing, clearly we had the investigations because of the claims that were made, which were right to follow up, and it was clear there were breaches of the law, but to jump were breaches of the law, but to jump from that to say that the prime minister did deliberately misled parliament. what does it say about boris johnson's authority? parliament. what does it say about borisjohnson's authority? about his grip on downing street, about the tone of the culture if there are at

least 20 breaches of the guidelines inside his own sound? the pm has already said that he accept that things happened in number 10 and that won't idea, and he apologised for that. a new team has come in, and i think that is right. {lin for that. a new team has come in, and i think that is right.— and i think that is right. on the can? i and i think that is right. on the can? i think — and i think that is right. on the can? i think the _ and i think that is right. on the can? i think the people - and i think that is right. on the can? i think the people that. and i think that is right. on the l can? i think the people that were responsible. _ can? i think the people that were responsible, and _ can? i think the people that were responsible, and we're _ can? i think the people that were responsible, and we're all- responsible, and we're all responsible, and we're all responsible for our individual actions, and he has taken responsibility both with the apology he has given, with the approach to the transparency which he has embraced, and the changes he has made in the number 10 operation. borisjohnson has said that he will publicly say if he gets one of these fixed penalty notices. given that these things happen on public buildings, and given the public interest, shouldn't all the people who get these fines be named? that is not the practice _ who get these fines be named? tisgi is not the practice of the metropolitan police, and i believe in the equality of the law and it should be applied equally in all cases. and it is not the practice of

most employers. i don't think it would be the practice if it happened in relation to the bbc can funded. what i don't think it is you should have double standards. normal rules apply. but it is also worth saying that all the internal processes, whether disciplinary or other, will be followed, and as i said, there have already been well publicised departures from number 10 as a result of this. the college of policing saying last night that those rules about not identifying people are just guidance, and if it is proportionate and in the best interest of the public, people can be named. in this particular case the metropolitan police haven't named the 20 people subject to fixed penalty notices, and i can understand why there is interest in it but i think it is right that the rule of law applied consistently, and just because there is media interest in and of course it is an issue, many issues are, but i think right that the appropriate and normal principles and rules apply. dominic raab, thanks forjoining us.

good to talk to you. 0k. good to talk to you. ok. sarahjoins us for the good to talk to you. ok. sarah joins us for the sport. lots of football happening last night, but we are going to focus on the memorialfor but we are going to focus on the memorial for shane warne. absolutely. we will be in melbourne very shortly, but firstly i will update you on the football. actually, i think we can go straight to melbourne. the crowds are gathering in melbourne, many dressed in their cricket gear as australia prepares to bid a public farewell to one of it's most successful and colourful sporting stars, shane warne. a state memorial service will start in about an hour's time and it is aimed at being a celebration of one of the best cricketers ever to have played. we can speak now to isa guha, the former england player who worked alongside shane many times in the commentary booth and is in melbourne this morning. thank you forjoining us on breakfast, isa. i know that when the

news came out that shane had tragically passed away, there were so much shock. i wonderfor you in the week since if you have realised what he meant to you?— the week since if you have realised what he meant to you? sarah, yes, on reflection it's — what he meant to you? sarah, yes, on reflection it's been _ what he meant to you? sarah, yes, on reflection it's been a _ what he meant to you? sarah, yes, on reflection it's been a strange - what he meant to you? sarah, yes, on reflection it's been a strange few - reflection it's been a strange few weeks, to be honest. a lot of shock when we first learned of the news, and then we did our own tribute at fox that day, so we were already thinking about him in the past tense, which seemed very surreal. and the last couple of weeks have been an opportunity to really kind of reflect on that unique relationship in the relationship that he had with so many colleagues at various different places in cricket. hejust had at various different places in cricket. he just had such an impact on so many people, but for me personally, notjust as a youngster growing up in the game and watching him on television and wanting to follow in his footsteps in the way he played the game, you know, he was a bit of a gambler. he would be

happy to lose to try and win a game of cricket, and that is howl happy to lose to try and win a game of cricket, and that is how i tried to do things when i went out onto the field, but also just the magic he possessed on the field, off the field, in the commentary box, they would be moments i would sit alongside him and they would be a spark, he would look at a game situation and describe it perfectly to the wider audience, and he had a knack of being able to do that as a broadcaster as well, we forget that. but also just the relationship that i had with him, ijust feel very honoured and privileged that i could eventually call him a friend, and that he supported me through my journey, and i would say he probably was the most significant person in my career in terms of believing in myself as a commentator.- my career in terms of believing in myself as a commentator. yes, that was one of— myself as a commentator. yes, that was one of the _ myself as a commentator. yes, that was one of the things _ myself as a commentator. yes, that was one of the things that _ myself as a commentator. yes, that was one of the things that i - myself as a commentator. yes, that was one of the things that i read, i was one of the things that i read, that you are saying, and i thought it was such a nice view into shane warne. we had so much about his genius on a cricket pitch, the personality on it, but that support that he gave to you seems to be

really important. he that he gave to you seems to be really important.— really important. he was 'ust an eniama, really important. he was 'ust an enigma, really. i really important. he was 'ust an enigma, really. we h really important. he wasjust an enigma, really. we talked - really important. he wasjust an | enigma, really. we talked about really important. he wasjust an - enigma, really. we talked about that genius that he possessed on the field, but he had this magnetic personality that everyone wanted to be close to him, and ijust feel so grateful that he offered me that support. i guess walking into a male dominated commentary box with plenty of legends around, i knew that as soon as i had his respect, i had everyone else's, and he reallyjust had that about him, the ability to support others, and kind of make the environment a relaxed one. he was quite boisterous, he wasjovial, he would come in in the morning in a bit of a whirlwind, and he would be telling us about things that he got up telling us about things that he got up to the night before, but also focusing in on the game situation, and what he wanted to happen in a day's play, and they were my favourite moments, talking cricket with him off commentary, and he would ask me questions about the

game, i would would ask me questions about the game, iwould be would ask me questions about the game, i would be able to ask him as well and it was a pretty relaxed affair. i will miss that so much, he is going to leave a message hole, certainly in the commentary box but i know he has impacted so many people around the world, and ijust hope he gets a good farewell today. i'm sure he is going to miss this celebration himself, because it really is setup to a fantastic one here. ,., , ., , really is setup to a fantastic one here. i. , ., here. do you feel it is a fitting wa to here. do you feel it is a fitting way to end — here. do you feel it is a fitting way to end things, _ here. do you feel it is a fitting way to end things, isa - here. do you feel it is a fitting way to end things, isa? - here. do you feel it is a fitting - way to end things, isa? absolutely, this was his — way to end things, isa? absolutely, this was his back _ way to end things, isa? absolutely, this was his back yard, _ way to end things, isa? absolutely, this was his back yard, he _ way to end things, isa? absolutely, this was his back yard, he spoke - this was his back yard, he spoke about victoria and melbourne so positively. he would often send us messages and say, why are you up in sydney because it rains they are all the time! or in england when we were in manchester he would always talk about the melbourne weather, and fittingly it has been quite a nice day, the son has been out, slightly cooler conditions, but it should be

newcastle, norwich. a few wintry showers around, and an added wind—chill too. as we go through this evening and overnight, we will continue to see the arctic air push its way towards the south corner, and a little sleet and snow across the hills, south and east, and then the hills, south and east, and then the frost and ice as we start thursday. more details on that later, back to you. it is the perfect weather for staying inside and watching some telly, isn't it! the runners and riders for this years baftas has been announced. leading the awards is channel for�*s it's a sin. scott brown is here to talk about it. i

he had developed an infection, group b strep, that staff at the royal shrewsbury hospital failed to spot. and on each occasion that i called them, they kept checking him and saying, "it's fine. don't worry about it. he's 0k." hello, you! hello. have you come to say hello? hello. adam spent 23 days in intensive care, but survived. are you playing upstairs? he was being referred to as a miracle. nobody had expected him to live. can you go play upstairs, please, sweetheart? because everyone had expected him to die. however, when charlotte started questioning why her son was profoundly disabled, she realized that she'd received poor maternity care. if they had induced me sooner, because natural labour wasn't starting. if they had monitored him appropriately after his birth. if they had made sure he fed. if they had even taken me seriously

when i was saying that there's something wrong. that's why i believe they're responsible for not — all those warning signs that they missed. the family say the royal shrewsbury hospital didn't carry out any investigation into why adam was disabled, a common theme of the trust over many years, and so the errors continued. i went in on thursday. waters was leaking. they didn't induce me until saturday. four years after charlotte cheshire, hayley matthews had a similar experience. she was left for hours after her waters broke. if they'd have listened to me from the beginning, you know, jack probably would have been here today. in what way? i repeatedly asked for a caesarean and i was knocked back every chance. jack was born in a poor condition and died just 11 hours old. they literally said, "we don't know why he's died". and i asked, "is that it? you don't know why he's died?"

and then they said, "well, we don't know what else to tell you." and i was like, "well, i want a postmortem, because a baby just doesn'tjust die." the postmortem found jack had died of group b strep, but still the trust didn't learn. baby pippa. shortly after this video was taken, pippa griffiths had died, aged 31 hours. again, it was group b strep again. again, her mother's concerns had been ignored. ijust thought, i can't hear the breathing any more. i and i sort of went stilll and watched her chest. and it wasn't... so i put my hand under her nose to feel the breath, _ and there was nothing. over a thousand families in shropshire will learn today the extent to which they were failed by the nhs.

the trust say they took full responsibility for their errors, and offered their sincere apologies. michael buchanan, bbc news shrewsbury. one of those hoping to get answers today is carley mckee. carley�*s daughter keeley died in 2010, less than 31 hours after being born at the royal shrewsbury hospital, where staff failed to spot she was suffering from pneumonia. we can speak to carley now. first of all, i am so sorry about what has happened. and i don't underestimate how difficult it is to come on the telly and talk about it. if you want to stop or pause, just say. it is not a problem. do you want to just tell us what happened in your case? so, keeley was born on the 20th of march _ so, keeley was born on the 20th of

it comes after moscow pledged to scale back its forces around the capital and the northern city of chernihiv. jon donnison reports. gunfire. if there are finally small hints of optimism in ukraine, it doesn't feel that way on the roads outside kyiv. here, the damage has been done. in this village, ukrainian soldiers are on the ground, having just retaken it from the russians, part of a pushback that may have forced a shift in tactics from moscow. translation: i'm | fighting for my land. you know, no matter where i go, i am coming back home, and i always have this feeling, i'm back home now. after more than a month of fighting, many are weary. but for ukraine's president, progress in peace talks does not mean it is time to relax. translation: yes, we can call

positive the signals we hear i from the negotiating platform. but these signals do not silence the explosion of the russian shells. of course we see all the risks. of course we see no reason to trust the words of certain representatives of a state that continues to fight for our destruction. ukrainians are not naive people. until now, the strategically important northern city of chernihiv has also been a target of the russians. but ukrainian and american officials are warning that moscow's pledged to scale back its operation here, as well as around the capital kyiv, could just be a tactic designed to mislead. there's certainly no let up in russia's assault in the south—east. at least 12 people were killed yesterday in this strike on a ukrainian government building. new satellite images show the extent of the damage in mariupol,

higher ground largely. some sunny spells through tomorrow, but the wind will make things feel cold. it is going to stay fairly breezy as we head overnight and into friday, at a temperature still cold. gradually the windfall is lighter, we will see sunny spells but the temperatures are still struggling through the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. thank you forjoining us today. it is 8.32. australia is right now preparing to bid farewell to one of its favourite and most famous sons. a memorial service is about to get under way in melbourne for cricketer shane warne who died earlier this

month at the age of 52. let's have a look back on his sporting life. that is shane warne's first delivery in a test match in england. he's comprehensively bowled mike gatting. generally, when you start a spell, you just want to play. it's probably the best ball i've ever bowled. the way he would just bowl i for a house for the team and do whatever was required, but also at the same time, having lots of different thoughts i about how he might get people out. that's the end of that. he was the inspiration to a lot of other other people. - i played in an era of australian cricket that was the best side in the world for 15 years, and i played some of the with and against some of the greatest cricketers that have ever played to achieve some of the things that i achieved as an individual along the way. and thatjust blew my mind. it was more than my, you know, i ever could imagine. that's the real art of spinning. i made plenty of mistakes

along myjourney. he could almost be forgiven for- anything because he was shane warne. there's a great outpouring - of emotion in australia and around the world at the moment - because we're grieving as though it's somebody we know, i even if we didn't know him. there's this sense that he's been. such a big part of the conversation of the game, of the national sport for three decades. i it's just a staggering thing that he's no longer here. _ we can speak now to one of shane warne's former team—mates — australian batsman, stuart law. he is in the studio with us this morning. i bet you wish you were in melbourne! bud morning. i bet you wish you were in melbourne!— melbourne! and if shane were still around, melbourne! and if shane were still around. too- _ melbourne! and if shane were still around, too. he _ melbourne! and if shane were still around, too. he would _ melbourne! and if shane were still around, too. he would love - melbourne! and if shane were still around, too. he would love to i melbourne! and if shane were still around, too. he would love to see| around, too. he would love to see the people turning up for him. it is a celebration of one heck of a life. he crammed a lot into his 52 years. it's a shame that it has happened, but it's great to see the people supporting him in melbourne. what

after the game with the opposition as we used to do, and russell crowe was there, and i thought, what is going on? and that was shane. he wasn't always up there trying to be the big man, he was very humble, very understated... the big man, he was very humble, very understated. . ._ very understated... really? i thouuht very understated... really? i thought he — very understated... really? i thought he would _ very understated... really? i thought he would be - very understated... really? i thought he would be a - thought he would be a larger—than—life character, on it all the time? larger-than-life character, on it all the time?— larger-than-life character, on it all the time? larger-than-life character, on it allthe time? . , , ., all the time? that is the persona he ave. his all the time? that is the persona he gave. his mates _ all the time? that is the persona he gave. his mates in _ all the time? that is the persona he gave. his mates in victoria - all the time? that is the persona he gave. his mates in victoria said - all the time? that is the persona he gave. his mates in victoria said he i gave. his mates in victoria said he lived in warne�*s world. but around his cricket mates, he was very level, he didn't go outside his individual realm too often. but he had that ability to hook up with other people. find had that ability to hook up with other maple-— had that ability to hook up with other people-— had that ability to hook up with other people. and he has talked uuite other people. and he has talked quite openly _ other people. and he has talked quite openly about _ other people. and he has talked quite openly about the - other people. and he has talked | quite openly about the struggles that come with that, and all that way to be the caricature of yourself. way to be the caricature of yourself-— way to be the caricature of ourself. , i. , ., way to be the caricature of ourself. , , ., , , yourself. yes, you see other players in the world. — yourself. yes, you see other players

really almost all uplifting, fun, dancing songs, and what i did what i went back to the very beginning, i went back to the very beginning, i went back to the very beginning, i went back to the first song i ever wrote, which was a song called everybody dance, and the lyric music never let you down puts a time on your face, never let you down puts a time on yourface, it never let you down puts a time on your face, it was to make each person in that room understand that that brief moment we are together, we arejust going that brief moment we are together, we are just going to celebrate. that was the right thing to do, and then i closed with we are family, because that was the spirit of family with which i looked at the audience and i look at the world, i believe we are all one, big gigantic family, and i don't know why people of different religions and different backgrounds and whatever can't get along, i don't understand it, but those songs

me back at home in the states, his daughter is in there, so i gave her a big interview a few weeks ago, and it was the day before she went back home to ukraine, and the very next day, the conflict happened. i was just terrified for her. so it is somewhat personal for me, it is not just some abstract thing that i look at, of course i see it with the worldview, but i also see it on a personal level, so i hope in making sense, it is really early in the morning!— sense, it is really early in the mornina! ., ., , , ., ., morning! you absolutely are, and i think what is _ morning! you absolutely are, and i think what is striking _ morning! you absolutely are, and i think what is striking is _ morning! you absolutely are, and i think what is striking is the - think what is striking is the situation in ukraine, we all feel very powerless to do anything about it, and i understand why, it is strange being on stage, feeling like you are partying when something so sad is happening, but at the same time i didn't realise that everybody danceis time i didn't realise that everybody dance is the first song he wrote, and it still gets people up! honestly, when i took my shower last

night, i was almost in tears. i said to my girlfriend, what would my life be like had i not written that song? hi wrote that one afternoon when my partner was at his dayjob, my girlfriend was at her dayjob and i was all alone, i wrote everybody dance, and i was very committed to that lyric. and had i not done that, i don't know if there would be a chic, freak out, like a virgin, i don't know, i have no idea. i remember hearing it at a festival, and the entire atmosphere changed as soon as the dj put it on, it was brilliant. it soon as the dj put it on, it was brilliant. . , soon as the dj put it on, it was brilliant. ., , ., ., ., , brilliant. it was amazing last niaht, brilliant. it was amazing last night. and — brilliant. it was amazing last night. and i _ brilliant. it was amazing last night, and i think— brilliant. it was amazing last night, and i think when - brilliant. it was amazing last night, and i think when i - brilliant. it was amazing last| night, and i think when i was looking around at the audience, they were singing the lyrics and i thought to myself, you know, nile, for once in your crazy life you made the right choice, and i'm looking at

a change some of you are going to experience, let mejust a change some of you are going to experience, let me just take you to south—west scotland, northern ireland and north west wales, they had the warmest temperatures yesterday, and this is what it will feel like this afternoon. it is going to be a massive turnaround. it will feel bitterly cold compared to yesterday, temperatures for some feeling closer to freezing. and that is because we have had arctic air start to push down from the north through the night, and wintry weather as well, a dusting of show anywhere from shetland through to parts of north yorkshire right now, and some will head further south. most of you will only see a flake in the wind, the vast majority nothing at all, so here is what the story is at all, so here is what the story is at the moment. this is what has been happening over the last few hours, the blue is the rain pushing across parts of the north, and turning to snow on the borders of scotland,

some of that pushing into the north—east of england. low snow showers in the north of scotland, but the rest of scotland should brighten up with sunny spells. not too much happening in northern ireland, a few wintry showers but sunshine in the afternoon, clouding over through wales and the midlands later, some sunshine to the south coast, 11 hi here, but the cold air will be down to the mid —— midlands down to lipm. a cold end to your wednesday, a cold commute home, outbreaks of rain habit this evening and overnight, a little sleet and snow mixed in across southern areas, especially over the hills, nothing too much trouble is, though. a risk of frost and ice as we start a cold thursday, and it will be a very cold wind blowing especially in eastern areas, the winds could hit a0 or 50 mph. rain and sleet at times, wintry showers and a mix of hail, sleet and

snow to the north and east, many will get through the day with a fair bit of sunshine between the showers, and temperatures picking up a little on today's values, but it will still feel much colder out there than those values suggest. going through thursday night into friday, strong winds for the south—east corner, and for the rest of us it is going to be a case of light winds, widespread frost to take us into friday morning, and it will be a chilly day on friday. a few wintry flurries here and there, a fair bit of dry and sunny weather before cloud, rain and sunny weather before cloud, rain and hill snow spreads into the north of scotland and a lift in temperature as well. plenty of cloud around, a few clips as of sunshine but always the chance of one of two showers but they will be of rain rather than snow. for the next few days, back to the big coats. we have got them back out, scarf,

mittens, got the lot! it is what we know best. it is a good time to stay inside and watch telly, and we have a celebration of the best of telly now, and especially the channel a series, because it has been announced that it is leading the nominations for this year's bafta television awards. channel a drama, about a group of friends hit by the 1980s aids crisis, is up for prizes including best mini—series and three acting awards. one of those is callum scott howells, who is up for best supporting actor. he played colin memorably, and he joins us now. congratulations! goad joins us now. congratulations! good morninu. joins us now. congratulations! good morning. thank _ joins us now. congratulations! good morning. thank you _ joins us now. congratulations! good morning. thank you so _ joins us now. congratulations!
