the twins have now been home for a month and are doing well. babies born before 2a weeks are very likely to have developmental problems, but jade says they should still be given every chance. i always used to say, "well, can they feel... "will they be able to feel love?" that's the main thing for me. and they can. and at the moment, they seem absolutely perfect, you know? we could have problems along the way but that's not to say that anybody, a baby that's born at 30 weeks orat full term... they go on to have problems, we know that from being in the unit for so long. jade and steve had ivf treatment for 11 years before they were successful. it's been a long fight to get this far, but they are now relishing the journey ahead. graham satchell, bbc news. amazing. time for a look at the weather. here's stav daneos.

indeed it is. good afternoon. once we clear the rain affecting northern areas it looks like things will be much quieterfor the areas it looks like things will be much quieter for the rest of the week, we should see lots of settled weather thanks to higher pressure, one or two showers but it will turn warmer. it is pretty warm across the south—east today, but the oranges and yellows will spread to all areas over the next few days. you can see this band of rain which has been spreading northwards across parts of england and wales, pushing into northern ireland and southern scotland, things are improving in the south through the afternoon and it is quite a lovely day with good sunny spells in the south—east quadrant, warmest year with maybe just one or two showers. eight to around 11 or 12 in the north, 16 to maybe 20 in the capital thanks to those sunny spells. the pollen levels are moderate in england and

wales, lower in the north with the cloud and the rain so much more comfortable, but these levels will get higher through the week because we will see drier weather with sunshine. the rain bands in the north pushes northwards, affecting the north—east of scotland and northern ireland. generally dry elsewhere, clear spells, northern ireland. generally dry elsewhere, clearspells, bits and pieces of cloud, a mild night in the south, a bit fresherfurther pieces of cloud, a mild night in the south, a bit fresher further north. starting with the rain across the north andes of scotland tomorrow morning, but ends up confined to the northern ireland. elsewhere we should see sunshine breaking through that showers breaking and some of them could turn out to be heavy and thundery. milder across—the—board, thundery. milder across—the—boa rd, we could thundery. milder across—the—board, we could see the mid teens into scotland, 19 oh 20 in the warmest spotin scotland, 19 oh 20 in the warmest spot in the south—east. through wednesday night more cloud pushing into the west, thursday will start rather grey, and the rest of the sunshine in the midlands and the south—east we will have the highest temperatures of 20 or maybe 21. ——

in the best of the sunshine. temperatures elsewhere still pretty good for the time of year. into the easter weekend it looks like high pressure will continue to dominate, but how quickly will back move eastwards to perhaps allow lower pressure to move into the second half of the easter weekend? some uncertainty, looking pretty warm at the moment, starting with quite a bit of dry and bright weather, the chance of rain moving for the second half of these easter weekend so stay tuned. . ~' ,, that's all from the bbc news at one. good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. we're in the business end of the women's world cup quaifiers and all four home nations are still in contention. england are unbeaten so far and take on northern ireland

at windsor park tonight. victory for them, will seal qualification if austria drop points against latvia in their game this evening. last time the lionesses played northern ireland they won rather comfortably, but manager sarina wiegman knows this time won't be easy. it's going to be a great crowd. a bil it's going to be a great crowd. a big occasion. i am really looking forward — big occasion. i am really looking forward to— big occasion. i am really looking forward to that. for them it's the last chance — forward to that. for them it's the last chance they have to win to make any chance _ last chance they have to win to make any chance to make a qualifying. in this environment and for us we want to win _ this environment and for us we want to win and _ this environment and for us we want to win and get as close as possible to win and get as close as possible to qualifying. northern ireland's chances of reaching a first world cup are all but over following their 3—1 defeat by austria last week, which leaves them third. but with a record crowd expected in belfast later, manager kenny shiels says his side must believe that they can cause a huge upset. if we don't think that, _ what's the point in having the game? we've got to feel we've a chancel and the girls are feeling that now and they know that we can... we just want to make sure we play

. at the top level against the top l level and learn from it. having a crowd herej will help, definitely. but we can't just depend. on that, we've got to look at how we can play. that game is on bbc two tonight with coverage starting at 7.30pm. scotland's chances of reaching the finals are very much in the balance. they were due to face ukraine this week. that's been delayed until at least the end ofjune, leaving them with a match against the world's seventh—best side, spain. these are the games you want to play in. you are challenging against the best players in the world. we know we are in the middle of a process i suppose of trying to play a certain way and trying to work on a number of things. what better challenge than to play one of the best teams out there. we want to focus on our processes and go out there and put on a proud performance. wales hopes of qualifying are still in their own hands. they play kazakhstan this afternoon. they're third in their group

after losing to france on friday. although they can still finish second if they win their final three qualifiers. it's massive. we have to get three points, _ it's massive. we have to get three points, that — it's massive. we have to get three points, that is the aim. it is going to be _ points, that is the aim. it is going to be tough, _ points, that is the aim. it is going to be tough, it's always tough against — to be tough, it's always tough against teams that block up like we did against france in a way. it is to and _ did against france in a way. it is to and we — did against france in a way. it is to and we have to stay patient and believe _ to and we have to stay patient and believe we — to and we have to stay patient and believe we can get the goals like we have in— believe we can get the goals like we have in previous games. on to the champions league then, and chelsea have it all to do if they are to continue the defence of their title. they're in spain for their quarter—final second leg match with real madrid. remember, they have a 3—1 deficit to overturn. even their manager thomas tuchel accepts that the chances of going through are "almost impossible", especially when faced with former manager carlo ancelloti and one of europe's in—form strikers, karim benzema. this season is showing that we have two forwards who have been shining. in two forwards who have been shining.

hamish de bretton gordon is a chemical and biological weapons expert. he told my colleague lukwesa burak that proving claims of chemical weapon use in ukraine could be challenging. it will be a challenge to get that evidence. obviously there is a lot on social media and the defence minister has also commented. i am talking to a number of doctors, not in mariupol but in surrounding areas, who are looking at this too. it will be a challenge. they will need to get some environmental, earth—type samples and medical samples to confirm the allegations that some sort of nerve agent or toxic chemical has been used. it is rather out of the playbook that the russians have been using that they saw work so successfully in syria. and they have had trouble taking mariupol. we also know that the ministry of defence in the uk suggested yesterday that they might use white phosphorus, not a chemical weapon but it has similar attributes. it will be a challenge, for sure.

you talk about syria, going back in time russian has been part of the opcw, the organisation for the prohibition of chemical weapons along with the un joint investigative mechanism, are they still part of that? absolutely, tthe russians are part of it, and in 2017 they declared they had no chemical weapons, but they attacked my hometown, salisbury, with chemical weapons just a year later. in effect the ukrainian government could request the organisation of the prohibition of chemical weapons to investigate but doing that in a war zone, somewhere like mariupol, would be virtually impossible and would take time, so we need to rely on intelligence that nato is collecting and the ukrainian government is collecting so we can take a view on whether this is being used, and the response that will happen. i believe we need to bolster

the ukrainian military, especially the air force, to try to make sure these atrocities are less likely in the future. carrying along the line of what action was taken in the past and the conflict in syria — france, the uk, the us were directly involved in missile strikes on airfields where the aircraft that were distributing, when it was proven that chemical weapons had been used, they conducted missile strikes on those locations. is that something the western allies and nato would now consider if it were proven they had been used? i am not sure they will go that far. i hope what they will do is provide the intelligence to the ukrainian government of exactly where these key areas are to allow the ukrainian government air force and military to strike those targets and potentially also give them

sophisticated and advanced weaponry in order to do that. i still think nato is trying very hard and should try very hard not to get directly involved with russia, because that then extends the conflict. the ukrainian military are doing a brilliantjob, they have defeated the russians in the north and we must enable them to hold them in the south so that hopefully, sooner rather than later, we can get everybody around the negotiating table to sue for some peace. a man has been found guilty of murdering his partner's three—year—old son — kemarni watson darby — in west bromwich injune 2018. nathaniel pope was found unanimously guilty by a jury at birmingham crown court. kemarni s mother, alicia watson, was convicted of causing or allowing the death of a child. phil mackie reports

before. on the day he died his mother took him from the flat here to walk in the health centre. she told a nurse he wasn't his normal self and had a high temperature and he'd been sick and wasn't eating. the nurse gave him medicine for a suspected stomach bug. on the outside he appeared well, this was him after the health centre visit stopping for lunch with his mum. then a short time later returning to the flat, a few hours after this he was dead. during the trial, watson and pope said his injuries were inflicted accidentally during rough play. pope had previous conditions for assault, play. pope had previous conditions forassault, burglary and play. pope had previous conditions for assault, burglary and dealing heroin. watson was described as having a zero to 100 temper, both used cannabis regularly. the court heard that kemarni watson darby had been full of personality, that is something that is clear in all of these pictures. a safeguarding review will reveal whether opportunities were missed to save

him. borisjohnson boris johnson and rishi borisjohnson and rishi sunak have received fines for breaking lockdown rules. they attended one of those gatherings that happened across government during the pandemic. let's talk to our political correspondent david wallace lock out. , , ., , correspondent david wallace lock out. ,, , out. this story has broken in the ast few out. this story has broken in the past few minutes. _ out. this story has broken in the past few minutes. boris - out. this story has broken in the past few minutes. boris johnson j out. this story has broken in the - past few minutes. boris johnson and past few minutes. borisjohnson and rishi sunak, the prime minister and the chancellor, both being issued with fines relating to those events taking place in downing street and other government buildings while covid restrictions were in place. at this point it's unclear exactly what events this relates to. we know the met police were looking at 12 events and we know the prime minister was linked to three of those events. including an event in the cabinet office where he was presented with a birthday cake. at this point we don't know specifically the details,

just that the two of them are getting fines. downing street had said previously if the primers there was find they would reveal that. the treasury had said they would take the same approach to rishi sunak. of course, we got that update earlier on today from the met police that over 50 fixed penalty notices have now been issued. it doesn't necessarily mean 50 individuals have been fined, more than one person could get one. the met themselves are not going to be naming names when it comes to fines and they are not going to be specific about what events they relate to beyond the 12 they are looking at. but really there is huge news, the prime minister and the chancellor have both been fined. we heard from sir keir starmer this afternoon and he was saying that he was feeling there was saying that he was feeling there was widespread criminality going on in downing street and other government buildings. we had to read daily from the lib dems saying boris johnson could not be trusted and

should stand down. this was the —— before it had been revealed that borisjohnson himself before it had been revealed that boris johnson himself and before it had been revealed that borisjohnson himself and his right—hand man the chancellor had been fined. so i really think we can expect the opposition parties to step up a gear in the calls for borisjohnson to go and no doubt this really is a political problem for him, that perception that he was breaking the rules and the met police now believe he was breaking the rules to the point he should be fined at a point when he was legislating for the whole of the country. legislating for the whole of the count . �* ., ~ , legislating for the whole of the count . �* . ,, , ., country. breaking the rules and breakin: country. breaking the rules and breaking the — country. breaking the rules and breaking the law. _ country. breaking the rules and breaking the law. is _ country. breaking the rules and breaking the law. is that - country. breaking the rules and l breaking the law. is that correct? that's correct. _ breaking the law. is that correct? that's correct. the _ breaking the law. is that correct? that's correct. the fixed - breaking the law. is that correct? that's correct. the fixed penalty l that's correct. the fixed penalty notice is a statement from the met that they believe there was low level criminality going on that should be dealt with. via a fine rather than going to court or something like that. there is of course the possibility to challenge fixed penalty notices, that can lead to quite a protracted process where if your appeal is unsuccessful it can end up more serious than simply

paying the fine you were originally issued with so i suspect they will be those saying that the best way to go about it is just to simply pay the fine and draw a line under the matter. there is no criminal record anything that comes with a fixed penalty notice. i am sure everyone is aware you can get them for things like speeding. but the met police are saying borisjohnson and the chancellor broke the covid rules that they themselves were asking the entire country to follow. 50 that they themselves were asking the entire country to follow.— entire country to follow. so we have a prime minister _ entire country to follow. so we have a prime minister and _ entire country to follow. so we have a prime minister and the _ entire country to follow. so we have| a prime minister and the chancellor, the two highest offices of state who have broken the law. bud the two highest offices of state who have broken the law.— have broken the law. and let's remember. — have broken the law. and let's remember, when _ have broken the law. and let's remember, when we - have broken the law. and let's remember, when we think- have broken the law. and let's i remember, when we think about have broken the law. and let's - remember, when we think about the chancellor in recent days, it's been a difficult period with him with the revelations about his personal financial situation and that of his wife. despite the political optics around that there was a conclusion that his wife and rishi sunak had

not breached any rules and they were acting perfectly within the rules of their personal circumstances. this is the met police saying they did breach covid regulations, notjust the chancellor but the prime minister too. the chancellor but the prime ministertoo. i the chancellor but the prime minister too. i suspect this really well be a big political problem for number ten and number well be a big political problem for numberten and number11. well be a big political problem for number ten and number 11. those around borisjohnson and the chancellor will be hoping they can get through but it's looking like a rough patch ahead for the two most prominent government politicians in the country. ilrrui’iiiii prominent government politicians in the count . ~ , prominent government politicians in the country-— the country. will they have to resin the country. will they have to resign now? _ the country. will they have to resign now? i _ the country. will they have to resign now? i think— the country. will they have to resign now? i think we - the country. will they have to resign now? i think we can i the country. will they have to - resign now? i think we can suspect calls for that- _ resign now? i think we can suspect calls for that. let's _ resign now? i think we can suspect calls for that. let's remember, - calls for that. let's remember, opposition parties are already calling on borisjohnson to resign over his whole handling of the so—called party gate affair. never mind the fact that he now has been fined. so they will keep calling for him to go. they are certainly going to ramp those calls up a gear. it is important to remember however not that long ago borisjohnson wasn't

under huge political pressure, they were backbench mps putting in letters saying he had to step down as leader of the conservative party and by virtue of that prime minister. he got through that period. the ukraine crisis did take a bit of the political oxygen i think out of that. there were a lot of politicians on his own backbenchers who think its handling of the ukraine situation so far has been quite good and he certainly did seem to lose a bit of the pressure he had been experiencing recently by that. this could ramp that up again. however, we are still at a very uncertain period when it comes to russia's invasion. an uncertain period when it comes to how that will affect a difficult cost of living period for the country. they might be conservative backbenchers who think now is not the time to try and depose a prime minister. it's really only conservative mps who can

force borisjohnson out. they will be thinking now is not the time to do that, but perhaps on the other hand they will be some thinking with elections looming that this is not the time to have a prime minister who has been fined for breaking covid regulations and they could be well some —— could well be conservative backbenchers who think it's time to put in a letter to the 1922 conservative backbench committee to try and get boris johnson out. it really will be a difficult period for the prime minister and of course rishi sunak the chancellor. i minister and of course rishi sunak the chancellor.— minister and of course rishi sunak the chancellor. i am looking at what the chancellor. i am looking at what the prime minister _ the chancellor. i am looking at what the prime minister told _ the chancellor. i am looking at what the prime minister told the - the chancellor. i am looking at what the prime minister told the countryl the prime minister told the country in the house of commons on the 1st of december last year. all guidance was followed completely in number ten. on the 8th of december the prime minister told the commons and the country i have been repeatedly assured since these allegations emerged that there was no party and that no covid rules were broken. now that no covid rules were broken. now that he has received a fine from the

metropolitan police, which is confirmation that rules were broken and the law was broken by him, what does that mean about these statements to the house of commons? they are obviously quite awkward statements that will time and time again be put back to borisjohnson. they have already because even before him in the chancellor got to fines we did know that certain people within the government machinery had been fined and therefore at that point it became clear the met police judged the rules had been broken. those close to borisjohnson argue that those particular comments, he had been advised and all rules were followed and they were those revelations about him attending that bring your own booze party in the downing street garden when covid regulations were in place, he did say despite apologising that he was under the impression that event could fall within the rules. and i suspect the

argument we will hear from boris johnson as it tries to get through this political period is that he was assured the rules had been followed and he did not think the rules had been broken. this fine from the metropolitan police changes things but i suspect that will be the argument, that when he made those comments he believed those statements to be the truth and that is perhaps how we can get around or try and get around any accusations that he might have misled mps or misled the house of commons. we should say at the moment, boris johnson is at chequers trying to have a bit more of a rest while parliament is in recess. i am not convinced how much of a rest he will now get. it convinced how much of a rest he will now net. , , ., now get. it will be interesting to see, it's now get. it will be interesting to see. it's only — now get. it will be interesting to see, it's only conservatives - now get. it will be interesting to see, it's only conservatives who | now get. it will be interesting to - see, it's only conservatives who can remove the prime minister at this point so it will be interesting to see what kind of reaction there is from his colleagues. i am like you

are going to look on twitter to see what sort of thing people are saying. but it's down to them. how —— explain how that could work. for -- explain how that could work. for the —— explain how that could work. fr?" the conservative party to get rid of their leader the process for doing so is that 50% of mps and i think that's 5a currently with the current numbers, would have to write to the 1922 committee, that is the group of backbench conservative mps and they would have the rights to the leader of the 1922 committee saying they have no confidence now in the prime minister. slightly over a dozen had publicly revealed they had done so back when boris johnson publicly revealed they had done so back when borisjohnson was publicly revealed they had done so back when boris johnson was facing back when borisjohnson was facing initial questions about back when boris johnson was facing initial questions about party gate. since then, a couple have like the conservative scottish leader, have removed those letters saying that with all that is going on in ukraine

and the turmoil currently on the global stage it was not a good time to start trying to change the prime minister. if those letters fled back in, that 15% threshold is hit and there is a leadership challenge, sorry a vote of confidence in boris johnson. that happens to theresa may and she survived that vote of confidence and if a leader survived a vote of confidence they get a year in office as conservative leader where they can be challenged again. if they lose that vote of confidence there is a leadership contest. but as ou there is a leadership contest. but as you say. _ there is a leadership contest. but as you say, there are a number of mps and others who are saying boris johnson has shown that he has statesman—like side when it comes to for example the war in ukraine and would the nation be better served if we lost the prime minister right now? ihla we lost the prime minister right now? ., ., , , , ., . now? no one is suggesting for a minute that _ now? no one is suggesting for a minute that boris _ now? no one is suggesting for a minute that boris johnson - now? no one is suggesting for aj minute that boris johnson would now? no one is suggesting for a - minute that boris johnson would want minute that borisjohnson would want the situation in ukraine but it could ultimately be as best hope of

getting through this period in the most unscathed fashion he can. realistically, for a lot of conservative mps who will be feeling very awkward about the fact the prime minister has been fined for breaching covid regulations, what they may feel is that the one thing worse than that would be giving vladimir putin this idea of turmoil in the uk, of changing prime minister at in the uk, of changing prime ministerata in the uk, of changing prime minister at a point when the global situation is so delicate. let's remember, leadership contests, if more than one person wanted to take over, they are protracted events, they are events where politicians who are up sensibly on the same side and in the same parties sling some mud at one another as they fight it out to become number one. they may be plenty of backbenchers who think thatis be plenty of backbenchers who think that is the worst thing possible for the country at the moment and although they are not impressed

borisjohnson although they are not impressed boris johnson with although they are not impressed borisjohnson with getting this fine, they might think the situation in ukraine means now would be a terrible time to talk about having a leadership contest and talking about changing the prime minister. thank ou ve changing the prime minister. thank you very much- _ changing the prime minister. thank you very much. more _ changing the prime minister. thank you very much. more reaction - changing the prime minister. thank you very much. more reaction to i changing the prime minister. thank you very much. more reaction to come to the breaking news that the prime minister and the chancellor have both received fines for breaking the law overlooked and rose during the pandemic. let's get you a look at the weather now. hello there. the rest of this week is looking pretty quiet weather—wise. high pressure will be largely dominating the weather scene. we should see a lot of dry and settled weather around. variable amounts of cloud. some sunshine as well. the odd shower. what you will notice is it will be feeling quite warm for the time of year. our air source will be coming in from the south and you can see the oranges and yellows dominating the weather map. for the rest of today, it has been wet through central and western areas. that rain has continued to spill its way northwards to northern england and scotland

as the afternoon wears on. one or two showers following on behind but there will be some sunny spells around, the best of it across the south—east quadrant. it will be quite warm with temperatures up to 19 or 20 degrees. a little less so further north. pollen levels through the day will be moderate for england and wales. a little bit lower further north and of course lower where you have that rainfall. as we head through the evening and overnight, that area of rain continues to spill its way northwards gradually. it will take its time to clear from the north—east of the uk but further south it will be dry with clear spells and there will be some mist and fog and low cloud developing. nowhere is going to be particularly cold with lows of six to 10 degrees. wednesday morning, we start off cloudy and damp across the north and east of scotland. that rain will clear away and then it's a brighter afternoon with some good spells of sunshine developing. but there will be a few showers dotted around and some of these could perhaps turn out heavy and thundery. but a warmer day generally across the board with temperatures into the mid to high teens for many of us again. a top temperature of 20 degrees. wednesday night, it looks like it will turn grey and misty across central and western areas.

some low cloud around. but it's going to be a fairly mild night especially in england and wales. it does mean for thursday we could start off rather grey without low cloud and mist affecting coastal areas, particularly around the irish sea coast. probably the best of the sunshine in parts of the midlands and the south—east where we could see 20 degrees again. but even where we have the cloud, some bright spells further north with temperatures around the mid—teens. as we move into the easter weekend it looks like high pressure will dominate the scene for a while but there is a bit of uncertainty about if and when this high pressure breaks down and if it does so it will allow these areas of low pressure to push on from the west for part two of the easter weekend. so i think certainly to start with it will be warm and there will be some dry and bright weather around, but the chance of rain towards the second part of the weekend.
