they were. and the prime minister was not. notjust that, just 0n parliament something different which brings us to the ministerial code. it reads ministers... if some outside broken the rules, this appears clear cut. but we already know number ten's defence on this. backin know number ten's defence on this. back in march, two and that was echoed by the prime minister today and by the tory mp.— echoed by the prime minister today and by the tory mp. when he went to the house that _ and by the tory mp. when he went to the house that i _ and by the tory mp. when he went to the house that i don't _ and by the tory mp. when he went to the house that i don't think— and by the tory mp. when he went to the house that i don't think i - and by the tory mp. when he went to the house that i don't think i was - the house that i don't think i was breaking any law, i don't think he did think he was breaking any law. this would mean the prime minister didn't fully understand the laws he was setting, as well as knowing how

of the prime minister really took a hit over this. of the prime minister really took a hit over this-— hit over this. rebroadcasts in the uk on the bbc — hit over this. rebroadcasts in the uk on the bbc news _ hit over this. rebroadcasts in the uk on the bbc news channel i hit over this. rebroadcasts in the uk on the bbc news channel and | uk on the bbc news channel and elsewhere on bbc world news and it may be people on the outside looking in thinking, when is found by the police to broken the law, that at the end of the matter in terms of the end of the matter in terms of the end of the matter in terms of the end of the political matter? in the end of the political matter? ii the end of the political matter? ii the sense where would such a person have to go?— the sense where would such a person have to go? yes. who knows how to com are have to go? yes. who knows how to compare this — have to go? yes. who knows how to compare this because no prime minister has ever been found publicly to have broken the law in this way. absolutely there will be no doubt that the prime minister and others would have to go and interestingly, when conservative mp phoned me up a bit earlier and said you know what? this is kind of surreal. it is absolutely surreal that the government could break the rules and then not have people resigning. at this mp said he didn't think anybody would resign and that

was just the state of the country. you can take a couple of views on this. conservatives do and a substantial minority of the country saying come on, you have to put this in perspective. things have moved on it was a pandemic and had drinks after work. and take another view that this kindest of damages the very fabric of the way democracy works in the way standards of public life work. and i think that's going to be part of the battle over the coming weeks between conservative parties and the main opposition parties. they're going to be saying come on, can you really have rule breakers setting the rules? thank ou ve breakers setting the rules? thank you very much — breakers setting the rules? thank you very much indeed. _ breakers setting the rules? thank you very much indeed. rob i breakers setting the rules? thank you very much indeed. rob watson live with us. bear in mind that the metropolitan police said they were not going to investigate these left breaches back in december they issued the statement sink based

but then there was a u—turn. announcing an inquiry injanuary. i can confirm that they're not investigating a number of events that took place at downing street in the last two years. in relation to potential breaches of covid—i9 regulations. it potential breaches of covid-19 regulations-— potential breaches of covid-19 regulations. it was very much a chance regulations. it was very much a change of _ regulations. it was very much a change of policy _ regulations. it was very much a change of policy from - regulations. it was very much a change of policy from the i regulations. it was very much a change of policy from the met | regulations. it was very much a i change of policy from the met police and so, what caused the change? a police commissioner there are three main factors. police commissioner there are three main factors-— main factors. there was evidence of those involved _ main factors. there was evidence of those involved knew _ main factors. there was evidence of those involved knew or _ main factors. there was evidence of those involved knew or ought i main factors. there was evidence of those involved knew or ought to i main factors. there was evidence of. those involved knew or ought to have known that what they were doing was an offence. we are not investigating with significantly undermining the legitimacy of the law and, where there was little ambiguity around there was little ambiguity around the absence of any reasonable defence. ~ ., , the absence of any reasonable defence. ~ . , , ., ., defence. the met was explaining of a- roach defence. the met was explaining of approach and _ defence. the met was explaining of approach and it _ defence. the met was explaining of approach and it was _ defence. the met was explaining of

referrals for penalty notices have been issued for the criminal records office and they are maintaining every effort to progress this investigation at speed and continue to assess significant amounts of investigative materials and so, potentially this could have a long way to run. we do not know how many more fines will be issued we do not yet know the sums involved. this is not necessarily _ yet know the sums involved. this is not necessarily over _ yet know the sums involved. this is not necessarily over by _ yet know the sums involved. this is not necessarily over by any - yet know the sums involved. this is not necessarily over by any means. | not necessarily over by any means. the prime minister and the chancellor of the exchequer have been defined using fixed penalty notices that means there's an official record but this is not a criminal record that is to be disclosed. as for the actual amount, as we were hearing, no penalties for covid—i9 breaches were set at £100 of the high point of the pandemic that the fine for organisers of one large event faced up to £10,000. the large event faced up to £10,000. ii2 interesting thing is once you start

getting multi—fixed penalty notices. , the first one will be 200 but then they double and double until the final one would be 6a00, which would lead to, you know, in the unlikely event although who knows the prime minister receives six sequential fixed penalty notices then he could be on the hook for over £10,000 collectively in fines.— be on the hook for over £10,000 collectively in fines. they speak to the former — collectively in fines. they speak to the former chief _ collectively in fines. they speak to the former chief superintendent i collectively in fines. they speak to | the former chief superintendent at the former chief superintendent at the metropolitan police. thank you for speaking to us. is the way that the met is rolling this out stage by stage, is that in line with how it would have carried out less high—profile incidents? it is would have carried out less high-profile incidents? it is the same sort _ high-profile incidents? it is the same sort of — high-profile incidents? it is the same sort of method. - high-profile incidents? it is the same sort of method. the i high-profile incidents? it is the i same sort of method. the difference here is that there was that initial delay of many, many weeks where there was argument about are the met going to investigate or aren't they? and it was only until sue grey that interim report that they decided to

investigate. because of that time, that would have delayed that because they rely on people's memories about whether they were there and why they were there. it will take time because as was told to all of us, there were over 500 pieces of paper passed to the met and sorted 300 photographs. they are still going to have to be gone through. and one of your colleagues has just talked about multiple fines. today may not be the end of it. there maybe more fines coming for the individuals concerned. fines coming for the individuals concerned-— fines coming for the individuals concerned. �* �* . . concerned. and i'm interested that of course everyone _ concerned. and i'm interested that of course everyone inside - concerned. and i'm interested that of course everyone inside the i concerned. and i'm interested that of course everyone inside the met| of course everyone inside the met will understand how intensely political basis. how do the police seek to protect themselves from political considerations? i seek to protect themselves from political considerations?- seek to protect themselves from political considerations? i think on this particular _ political considerations? i think on this particular case _ political considerations? i think on this particular case they _ political considerations? i think on this particular case they would i political considerations? i think on | this particular case they would have been absolutely painstakingly careful to make sure that if this was contested at court because there is no actual right of appeal against

these but what you can do is go to court and say you are not guilty. they would be painstakingly meticulous to make sure that they didn't have egg on their face and that they could win this at court. and that may have influenced the decision to pay. because up until now the reports have always been and i did nothing wrong, i am going to contest this, i will go to court. and it is because that evidence that has been gathered will be so thorough and will be so, it won't be open to any sort of distortion, which would encourage people to pay rather than contested in court. fight! rather than contested in court. and how involved _ rather than contested in court. and how involved would the most senior people at the met be in this investigation and the decisions whether to fine or not fine? the actual whether to fine or not fine? ii2 actual investigation would have been done by a team of officers quite junior but it would have gone through the chain of command to make sure that the right people were being fine. and if it's ambiguous, if there is any sort of this might

fail at court, that fine would not be issued. they would have to make sure that it was capable of proof. so i do feel that the very senior leaders, because of the political inferences, would have been involved. and although we talk about policing without fear and favour, there would have been fair on this one. . ~' there would have been fair on this one. . ~ , ., there would have been fair on this one. ., ~ , ., y there would have been fair on this one. . ~ i. , . there would have been fair on this one. 2 4' ,, , ~ , one. thank you very much, very useful. at least 16 people have been hurt in an incident during morning rush hour at a new york subway station — ten of them shot, five of them in critical but stable conditions. according to local media, shots were fired at the 36th street station in sunset park around 0830 local time on tuesday morning. these are pictures from the scene in brooklyn.

firefighters were initially responding to reports of smoke on a train. once there, they found gunshot wound victims. the gunman is still on the loose. the new york police department also gave this update. asa as a manhattan bound train waited to enter the station and individual on that train donned what appeared to be a gas mask. he took a canister out of his back and opened it. the train at that time began to fill with smoke. he then opened fire, striking multiple people on the subway and on the platform. again, we will describe him as an individual. he is been described as male black, with a heavy build. he was wearing a green construction type vest and a hooded sweatshirt, the colour is grey. at this time we are working with our federal partners but we are asking for the public pulse might help. anyone with information, videos or photographs, no matter how insignificant they think it maybe is encouraged to call crimestoppers. think it maybe is encouraged to call crimestoppers— crimestoppers. laura kavanagh is from the new _

the gunmen opened fire, hitting at least ten gunshot victims and entering more. some of those who are battling injuries right now, some are battling smoke inhalation as well as when they were her trying to pour out of those terrifying train cars. as you can imagine. again, people are in shock. police are very much looking for that suspected gunman. we have sane canines on the scene, federal agents on the scene. again, still looking for that suspected gunman who took off wearing a construction vest and a gas mask. 50 wearing a construction vest and a as mask. , ., , wearing a construction vest and a gas mask-— wearing a construction vest and a as mask. , ., , . ., , gas mask. so 'ust to be clear, this is a man who — gas mask. so just to be clear, this is a man who is _ gas mask. so just to be clear, this is a man who is still _ gas mask. so just to be clear, this is a man who is still very - gas mask. so just to be clear, this is a man who is still very much i is a man who is still very much at large. do we have any eyewitness accounts of how we left the subway station? . , , , ., , station? witnesses are telling us that the person _ station? witnesses are telling us that the person just _ station? witnesses are telling us that the person just fled, - station? witnesses are telling us that the person just fled, took i station? witnesses are telling us| that the person just fled, took off with that construction vest and a gas mask. so police, have they been looking for room pretty much all

further analysis from me and the outside source team you can find that by my twitter account. for example at the beginning of the programme when we went through boris johnson's statement and how he said he has paid this fine breaking the rules during lockdown. something he says he doesn't delay my didn't realise he was doing but has since paid the fine. and apologise. if you want updates on that story. i can see here the bbc news life page that is new material coming all of the time both on the conflict in ukraine and on these fines for carrie johnson. placing to posted there is an open letter to borisjohnson saying you paid a fine, our loved ones paid with their lives. that is from a covid—i9 victims campaign

group. we will be back with you with further news from downing street in the coming minutes. hello, it has been a soggy day across central and northern parts of the uk thanks to an active weather front. furthersouth the uk thanks to an active weather front. further south it was dry especially the south—east. the rest of this week looks like high pressure will dominate so largely settled and for many of us it will feel pretty one for the time of year with orange and yellow colours right across the uk. that is today's rain advancing northwards this evening and overnight. becoming confined to the north—east of scotland and northern isles. further south will be clear. no web cold, temperatures down to seven to 10 degrees. wednesday we start off cloudy, the rain becoming confined to the

northern isles. for the rest of scotland, northern ireland, england and wales a brighter day with sunshine. a few showers developing especially in wales, some of them could be heavy and thundery. warmer further north tomorrow, temperatures in the mid—to high teens. as we head through wednesday night it looks like low cloud, mist and fog will become more extensive across southern and western areas, especially around the irish sea coast but a mild night. it means thursday could be a little bit cloudier for many of us, particularly cross the northern and western half of the uk. the best of the sunshine across the east and south—east but a few holes will break up in that cloud. we could see sunny spells here and there and quite mild. we could see 20 or 21 in the south—east. into the easter weekend it looks like high pressure will bring dry and settled weather, certainly for the first half of the weekend. easter sunday and easter monday there is a chance that the

area of high pressure could break down and allow frontal systems to come in from the west, introducing more cloud and showers. at this stage the picture for good friday showers at west but most places will be dry and again it is going to be pretty warm with temperatures mid—to high teens for many of us. through the easter weekend although it will stay warm with dry and bright weather like i mentioned there is a chance of rain trying to push in from the west. we will have to stay tuned to the forecast for all the details.

statement and here is some of it. thank you very much for coming. today, i have received a fixed penalty notice relating to an event on the 19th ofjune and i have paid the fine and i once again offer a fullapology. in the fine and i once again offer a full apology. in the spirit of openness and humility, i want to be completely clear about what happened on that date. my day began shortly after 7am and i shared eight meetings number ten, including a cabinet meeting deciding covid—i9 strategy. i visited a school which took me out of downing street for overfour took me out of downing street for over four hours. took me out of downing street for overfour hours. amongst took me out of downing street for over four hours. amongst all of these engagements on the day that happened to be my birthday, there was a brief gathering in the cabinet room shortly after 2pm lasting for less than ten minutes. during which people i work with kindly passed on

their good wishes and i have to say, in all frankness, at that time, it did not occur to me that this might have been a breach of the rules. but of course, the police have found otherwise and i fully respect the outcome of their investigation. i understand the anger that many will feel, that i myself fell short when it came to observing the very rules which the government i lead had introduced to protect the public and i accept in all sincerity that people have the right to expect better and now i feel even greater sense of obligation to deliver on the priorities of the british people, strengthening our economy, creating jobs and opportunity, leveling up across the whole of the united kingdom and ensuring that vladimir putin fails in ukraine and easing the burden of hard—working

families caused by higher energy prices. i will take that task with due humility, but with maximum determination to fulfil my duty and do what is best for the country i serve. thank you very much. this does make _ serve. thank you very much. this does make you — serve. thank you very much. this does make you the _ serve. thank you very much. this does make you the first prime minister to have been found to breaking the law. will you resign? i have, of course, paid and i apologise once again for the mistake that i made and as i've said just now, i want to be able to get on and deliver the mandate that i have but also to tackle the problems but the country must face right now and make sure that we get on with delivering for the people of this country and thatis for the people of this country and that is my priority. t0 for the people of this country and that is my priority.— that is my priority. to do that, people have — that is my priority. to do that, people have to _ that is my priority. to do that, people have to trust _ that is my priority. to do that, people have to trust you i that is my priority. to do that, people have to trust you and l people have to trust you and people have to respect you and they have to

seen, we have taken steps to change things and downing street is been radically transformed and it is been a much different organisation we are focusing 100% on delivering our agenda. he focusing 10096 on delivering our arenda. , ., , focusing 10096 on delivering our arenda. , . , ., agenda. he did repeatedly say that all the guidelines _ agenda. he did repeatedly say that all the guidelines are _ agenda. he did repeatedly say that all the guidelines are followed i agenda. he did repeatedly say that all the guidelines are followed and | all the guidelines are followed and downing street. there was a lie, wasn't it? ~ downing street. there was a lie, wasn't it? . ., , wasn't it? when i said that, i spoke incompletely good _ wasn't it? when i said that, i spoke incompletely good faith _ wasn't it? when i said that, i spoke incompletely good faith because i wasn't it? when i said that, i spoke| incompletely good faith because as i said just now, the time that i was standing upfor said just now, the time that i was standing up for nine minutes in the cabinet room where i work every day, did not occur to me. you cabinet room where i work every day, did not occur to me.— did not occur to me. you did not understand _ did not occur to me. you did not understand your _ did not occur to me. you did not understand your own _ did not occur to me. you did not understand your own rules. i i did not occur to me. you did not| understand your own rules. i now humbly accept — understand your own rules. i now humbly accept that _ understand your own rules. i now humbly accept that i _ understand your own rules. i now humbly accept that i was - understand your own rules. i now humbly accept that i was and i understand your own rules. i now humbly accept that i was and the | humbly accept that i was and the best thing i can do now is having settled a fine is focus of the job and that's going to do? do settled a fine is focus of the 'ob and that's going to do?i settled a fine is focus of the 'ob and that's going to do? do you you think more finds _ and that's going to do? do you you think more finds are _ and that's going to do? do you you think more finds are coming i and that's going to do? do you you think more finds are coming your l think more finds are coming your way? ii think more finds are coming your wa ? , ., think more finds are coming your wa ? , . . , ., , , think more finds are coming your wa? ., way? if they are cup i assure you ou will way? if they are cup i assure you you will be _ way? if they are cup i assure you you will be the _ way? if they are cup i assure you you will be the first _ way? if they are cup i assure you you will be the first to _ way? if they are cup i assure you

you will be the first to know. i 5796 57% of people said yes, and whether borisjohnson 57% of people said yes, and whether boris johnson knowingly 57% of people said yes, and whether borisjohnson knowingly lied about pricking covid—19 rules, they said yes but the prime minister absolutely denies doing that. let's talk to rob watson again. rob, what do you make of the prime minister a's approach to answering those questions, he would've known that kind of areas he was going to be pushed on so he would've prepared those answers, i'm sure, but you make of them? i those answers, i'm sure, but you make of them?— those answers, i'm sure, but you make of them? i don't think he had to be the sharpest _ make of them? i don't think he had to be the sharpest political - to be the sharpest political commentator orjournalist in the road to figure that out. it seems therefore very clear messages and one is that you're not going to resign and some people think that he should. second, an apology, a clear apology and third, to make people understand that it is an incredibly

complex job understand that it is an incredibly complexjob being prime minister in terms of your schedule, your building, its a home, it's an office and the fourth point loud and clear is that look, because of ukraine and other things, this is no time for getting rid of the leader. what about the point we heard and one question saying that the allegation that the prime minister wasn'tjust allegation that the prime minister wasn't just at this gathering, he may have been at several, which would start to undermine the argument that this is a one—off that might not of god was against the rules. you look very conservative mp, if he gets more finds mother gatherings, without somehow to be the edge? irate gatherings, without somehow to be the edue? ~ ., ., , the edge? we were waiting to this re ort b the edge? we were waiting to this report by a — the edge? we were waiting to this report by a senior _ the edge? we were waiting to this report by a senior official- the edge? we were waiting to this report by a senior official and i report by a senior official and others and to the general culture of downing street and one simply doesn't know. but you can see that the question of the prime minister is going to be taunted with by opposition politicians and voters

which is hang on, admit it, if you do not resign of breaking the law, other people in your government have resigned, including communications director and of course the health secretary, when on earth do you resign? not the way that electric resign? not the way that electric resign for breaking the law, but he see what i mean? if you don't resign over this, then when do you? that will be the line of attack from opposition politicians.- will be the line of attack from opposition politicians. thank you very much _ opposition politicians. thank you very much indeed. _ opposition politicians. thank you very much indeed. live - opposition politicians. thank you very much indeed. live with - opposition politicians. thank you very much indeed. live with us l opposition politicians. thank you | very much indeed. live with us as ever. let us update you on the conflict in ukraine because the mayor of the siege city of mayor eupora has found many civilians have been killed there. —— mariupol. chemical weapons may have been used in the city. and anna foster is in

the capital, kyiv. these are truly shocking statistics from the mayor of mariupol, how do they compare with what he has been saying previously?— with what he has been saying reviousl ? , . , ,_ previously? they have been saying for some time _ previously? they have been saying for some time that _ previously? they have been saying for some time that they've - previously? they have been saying i for some time that they've expected the number of people who have lost their lives and mariupol to be very high. and it is very difficult to verify any of the scenes but we have seen is these pictures of absolute devastation of some people estimate more than 75% of the city completely raised to the ground. and know the destruction there's huge and the stories in the testimonies of those people who have managed to flee and they have talked about seeing numerous bodies in various places. so, i think whenever, but we will see happen and mariupol, it would be reasonable for the number of people who died to be very high, but at

this stage, it is almost impossible to verify that. in this stage, it is almost impossible to verify that-— to verify that. in reference to these claims _ to verify that. in reference to these claims of _ to verify that. in reference to these claims of potential- to verify that. in reference to - these claims of potential chemical attacks, help us with the sourcing on those claims and who come if anyone is in a position to help decide if they are credible or not. this comes from the battalion that you have talked about on this programme before, you explain their background, their links to the right wing and they are part of ukrainian military. they put these claims out last night and they have been pictures and testimonies circulating on social media saying that a small number of people reported feeling ill and some of the symptoms that you would expect from a chemical attack which apparently comes from a uav, a drone that may have dropped some chemical substance on mariupol. we did hearfrom the uk ministry of defence yesterday morning to said that they did expect that russia may well come to use chemical weapons in

this conflict, particularly as it is now a new russian general in charge and he is believed to have done the same sort of thing in syria. but again, it is very difficult to verify and we know now that governments around the world are looking into that with some urgency because the use of chemical weapons really takes any conflict in any war to a new level. and at this stage, it is almost impossible to say whether or not it was some kind of chemical attack or whether it was simply because the fighting is happening in a very industrial area of mariupol and something else may have been the cause. find of mariupol and something else may have been the cause.— have been the cause. and ask about the city that — have been the cause. and ask about the city that you _ have been the cause. and ask about the city that you are in _ have been the cause. and ask about the city that you are in because - the city that you are in because through this conflict we have talked with colleagues and they have talked to us about the city anticipating the arrival of the russians were an attack from the russians. another the russians shifted their efforts in ukraine, as that allowed not normal life to resume but allowed some of normal life to come back? i think it is on the way. it is not

quite here yet because as you can see, the city is still dark, people are still taught to keep their lights off at night and there is still a curfew and know it's out on the streets of the moment and there would not be until tomorrow morning. the city is still filled with checkpoints, concrete blocks, ways to slow the russians down and all of that still exists. when you go to the city now, you do see one or two restaurants starting to reopen in one or two cafes in very small number. tiny flickers of life, tiny little sparks of the city returning to what it used to be and i think it's a long way away, but i think the changes are beginning to show. let's go back to the shooting in new york — at least 16 people have been hurt in an incident during morning rush hour at a brooklyn subway station —

ten of them shot, five of them in critical but stable conditions. according to local media, shots were fired at the 36th street station in sunset park around 0830 local time on tuesday morning. these are pictures from the scene in brooklyn. firefighters were initially responding to reports of smoke on a train. once there, they found gunshot wound victims. the gunman is still on the loose. this individual still in the loose. this individual still in the loose. this person is dangerous and we are asking individuals to be very vigilant and alert. you will get more reports as the day goes on. this is an active shooter situation right now and the city of new york. this is a sizeable manhunt. tell us more. . , ., , ,

more. that is absolutely right. the nypd, the mayors _ more. that is absolutely right. the nypd, the mayors office _ more. that is absolutely right. the nypd, the mayors office asking . more. that is absolutely right. the | nypd, the mayors office asking the public for help in identifying the suspect at the moment, at the subway station, there are underground combing the crime scene for evidence, going to surveillance footage and nearby shops in this area to try to piece together the suspects movements because at this moment, again, he fled the scene as people were screaming and stumbling and shocked out of that subway car bloodied from being shot and nobody knows where he went or what his possible motives were. they described him as a man wearing a green construction that's, hooded sweatshirt and a gas mask and so, it is quite frightening when you hear the eyewitness recounts of what happened in new yorkersjust the eyewitness recounts of what happened in new yorkers just on their daily commute know the sudden, their daily commute know the sudden, the subway carfills their daily commute know the sudden, the subway car fills with smoke and a suspect open fires.

what kind of an area is this for people who don't know brooklyn or new york well? this people who don't know brooklyn or new york well?— people who don't know brooklyn or new york well? this is sunset park and we are — new york well? this is sunset park and we are just _ new york well? this is sunset park and we are just 20 _ new york well? this is sunset park and we are just 20 minutes - new york well? this is sunset park and we are just 20 minutes from i and we are just 20 minutes from manhattan, not far at all from the waterfront and industry city, a place where a lot of businesses are, people go often shopping there for furniture, food, it is a very vibrant and creative community. i've just been reflecting on this shooting because ever since the new mayor took office and put the focus on public safety, i have been speaking with new yorkers in other high crime areas where they have noticeably experienced this rise in shootings that we keep talking about thatis shootings that we keep talking about that is affecting new york. but sunset park is largely shielded from any of that. so add to the fact that there is no real understanding of why it happened here in sunset park and the fact that this was the first mass indiscriminate shooting in a

number of years and you really do have new yorkers visibly shaken by this event. it is a bit cliche, we always say new yorkers are resilient, you can see behind me they are. traffic is moving, people are going back to their daily routine but this will for sure again underscore the debate about public safety here. underscore the debate about public safe here. ., ~ underscore the debate about public safety here-— safety here. thank you very much indeed. safety here. thank you very much indeed- and _ safety here. thank you very much indeed. and of _ safety here. thank you very much indeed. and of course _ safety here. thank you very much indeed. and of course as - safety here. thank you very much indeed. and of course as and - safety here. thank you very much l indeed. and of course as and when thatis indeed. and of course as and when that is an update on that manhunt we will bring it to you right away on bbc news. let's return to those downing street fines — and look at what this might mean for boris johnson's future. borisjohnson is the first prime minister — ever — to have been found to have broken the law. so there's no real precedent as to what the next steps are. and in terms of british constitutional law, well that's complicated too, because britain doesn't have a written constitution. so there's no absolute rule about what should happen. the opposition is clear what it thinks should come next. here's a labour party minister.

they have dishonoured their office and then he lied repeatedly to the public about it. britain deserves better. they have to go.- better. they have to go. boris johnson better. they have to go. boris johnson is _ better. they have to go. boris johnson is saying _ better. they have to go. boris johnson is saying he _ better. they have to go. boris johnson is saying he is - better. they have to go. boris johnson is saying he is not - better. they have to go. boris johnson is saying he is not going anywhere, he says he wants to carry on with the work. let's have a look at some of the options available here. what the uk does have is a ministerial code. it is not law but it sets out standards and it is clear ministers who knowingly mislead parliament will be expected to offer their resignation to the prime minister or if you are the prime minister or if you are the prime minister or if you are the prime minister you would be expected to resign. but the big point here is whether the prime minister accidentally said something to parliament which has subsequently turned out not to be true whether he said something that is not true and knew that was what he was doing. and thatis knew that was what he was doing. and that is the point on which number ten very much disagrees with some of the prime minister's critics. another element of this is only a prime minister can order an investigation into whether that code

has been broken in the first place which obviously is difficult if it is the prime minister who is the one been accused of breaking the code. the ministerial code says that ministers who knowingly mislead parliament will be expected to offer their resignation. does the prime minister believe that applies to him? mr minister believe that applies to him? ~ ,,, ., ~ minister believe that applies to him? ~ .,~ ., minister believe that applies to him? ~ ., , �* him? mr speaker, of course. but let me tell the — him? mr speaker, of course. but let me tell the house _ him? mr speaker, of course. but let me tell the house but _ him? mr speaker, of course. but let me tell the house but i _ him? mr speaker, of course. but let me tell the house but i think- him? mr speaker, of course. but let me tell the house but i think he - him? mr speaker, of course. but let me tell the house but i think he is i me tell the house but i think he is inviting _ me tell the house but i think he is inviting a — me tell the house but i think he is inviting a question about an investigation which, as you know, mr speaker, _ investigation which, as you know, mr speaker, i_ investigation which, as you know, mr speaker, i can't comment. well, investigation which, as you know, mr speaker, i can't comment.— speaker, i can't comment. well, the prime minister _ speaker, i can't comment. well, the prime minister has _ speaker, i can't comment. well, the prime minister has commented - speaker, i can't comment. well, thej prime minister has commented now. speaker, i can't comment. well, the - prime minister has commented now. he has said he has paid the fine that the police recommended but he certainly hasn't resigned. the scottish national party thinks he should. , ., , scottish national party thinks he should. , . , ., , ., , should. this really goes to the very foundation of _ should. this really goes to the very foundation of our _ should. this really goes to the very foundation of our parliamentary - foundation of our parliamentary democracy because one thing is absolutely clear, if you mislead parliament, if you like to parliament, if you like to parliament, then you resign. there is no ifs, no buts. but parliament, then you resign. there is no ifs, no buts.— is no ifs, no buts. but boris johnson _ is no ifs, no buts. but boris

johnson denies _ is no ifs, no buts. but boris johnson denies lying - is no ifs, no buts. but boris johnson denies lying to - is no ifs, no buts. but boris- johnson denies lying to parliament and misleading parliament. let's have a look at the options for if he chooses not to resign. parliament could hold a vote of no in his government. that would have to be requested by the leader of the opposition, so sir keir starmer. it would need a majority to pass but of course there are a couple of issues here, currently mps are not in parliament, they are on the easter break. as the bbc was mac political correspondent puts the chance to plot to, to fume is not there. the opposition liberal democrats would like people brought back for a vote. if they won't resign, the speaker of the house of commons should recall parliament so mps can have a vote of no comment to limit confidence in this government.— this government. but, and it is a bi but, this government. but, and it is a big but. boris — this government. but, and it is a big but, boris johnson _ this government. but, and it is a big but, boris johnson has- this government. but, and it is a big but, boris johnson has a - big but, borisjohnson has a significant conservative majority in parliament. the government is very, very unlikely to lose a confidence vote because the majority of

conservative mps are still very much support borisjohnson. again, here is the bbc�*s chris mason pointing out it is conservative mps who have boris johnson's future in out it is conservative mps who have borisjohnson's future in their hands. so if enough of them would like to see him removed, there is enough for that to happen. 50 forward have to vote for such a vote -- matt forward have to vote for such a vote —— matt would have to write for such a vote. the majority have to vote for the removal of the prime minister. there is nothing in the public domain in a moment to suggest the conservative party is anywhere near voting to remove the prime minister. ~ ., , minister. whether there would be enou:h minister. whether there would be enough names. — minister. whether there would be enough names, i— minister. whether there would be enough names, i don't— minister. whether there would be enough names, i don't know. - minister. whether there would be enough names, i don't know. i. enough names, i don't know. i certainly would not be put in my name in. ~ , ., name in. will there be enough conservative _ name in. will there be enough conservative mps _ name in. will there be enough conservative mps turning - name in. will there be enough conservative mps turning into | name in. will there be enough - conservative mps turning into boris johnson? at the moment the answer is definitely no. that leads to another factor we should consider, the war

in ukraine. you will remember when these allegations came out several mps very publicly submitted letters calling for borisjohnson to go but then russia invaded ukraine. of course a hugely significant moment. and some mps withdrew those letters. this man, the leader of the conservative party in scotland, douglas ross, was one of those mps and look how he has reacted to today's news. i and look how he has reacted to today's news-— today's news. i think it is right that everyone _ today's news. i think it is right that everyone apologises - today's news. i think it is right that everyone apologises who | today's news. i think it is right. that everyone apologises who has received a fixed penalty notice. they have explain their actions but now is the time for people to continue their support in our effort to stop the russians killing more innocent people in ukraine, which is why i think the prime minister should continue that leadership and that response to the atrocious war in ukraine. that response to the atrocious war in ukraine-— that response to the atrocious war in ukraine. .,, , ., , in ukraine. douglas ross leads the conservatives _ in ukraine. douglas ross leads the conservatives in _ in ukraine. douglas ross leads the conservatives in scotland. - in ukraine. douglas ross leads the conservatives in scotland. he - in ukraine. douglas ross leads the conservatives in scotland. he had| conservatives in scotland. he had wanted boris johnson conservatives in scotland. he had wanted borisjohnson to go, not any more. we also know conservative mps in westminster appear reluctant to

look to unseat boris johnson in westminster appear reluctant to look to unseat borisjohnson while that conflict continues. the opposition labour party has dismissed opposition. here is david lammy saying the tory line that borisjohnson can't resign because of ukraine is ridiculous. neville chamberlain resign during world war ii, asquith was replaced weeks after the somme during world war i, he says. during a crisis is more important than ever we don't have a lawbreaking liar in number ten. just to reiterate, mrjohnson denies having lied about this saga all the way through. in this conservative party historian has a different assessment of why and how prime ministers resign or don't resign in a crisis. ba; ministers resign or don't resign in a crisis. �* , , , , a crisis. by ministers in the past do not go _ a crisis. by ministers in the past do not go when _ a crisis. by ministers in the past do not go when they _ a crisis. by ministers in the past do not go when they are - a crisis. by ministers in the past do not go when they are being l do not go when they are being pushed out after scandals and mishaps. lloyd george didn't resign after scandals but he lost the support of his mps, anthony eden after the great suez crisis in 19 56 resign

not overlap over ill—health. macmillan over ill—health. there are very good reasons why prime ministers don't resign after scandals, when they're being pushed out by the opposition because it creates a very bad smell, a very bad feeling around it. but the court here is going to be a zone conservative mps and they are going to take the calculation is it right to take the calculation is it right to get rid of him over this or do they stay by him during the ukrainian warand take they stay by him during the ukrainian war and take judgment closer to the general election? well, let's talk to rob watson again. we had a reference to the general election, that is some way away but we have local elections very soon. away but we have local elections very soon-— away but we have local elections very soon. away but we have local elections ve soon. ., ., ., , ., very soon. how relevant are they to the story? — very soon. how relevant are they to the story? they're _ very soon. how relevant are they to the story? they're absolutely - the story? they're absolutely relevant in the sense they will be the first major test of public opinion as to how they feel about britain's politicians and political parties. of course, the problem will be for political analysts and for

for watching this hour. see you very soon. hello. it has been a bit of a soggy day thanks to an active weather front has been spreading its way northwards. further south it has been dry with sunshine are particularly across the south—east. but the rest of this week it looks like high pressure will dominate. largely settled and for many of us it will feel pretty one for the time of year with orange and yellow colours right across the uk. that is today's rain continuing to advance northwards this evening and overnight. becoming confined to the north—east of scotland in the northern isles. mist and fog will develop further south, nowhere vertically cold. temperatures down to seven to 10 degrees. wednesday, we start off cloudy, the rain

becoming confined to the northern isles. the rest of the uk a brighter day. a few showers developing. a little bit warmer further north tomorrow, temperatures generally in the mid to high teens. wednesday night, low cloud, mist and fog will become more extensive across southern and western areas, particularly around the irish sea coast but a mild night for england and wales. it does mean though thursday could be cloudier for many of us, particularly across northern and western half of the uk. the best of the sunshine will be across the east and the south—east but a few holes will break up in that cloud further west as well. so we could see some sunny spells there. mid to high teens, 20 or 21 in the south—east. as we move into the easter weekend it looks like high pressure will continue to bring dry and settled weather, certainly for the first after weekend. easter sunday and easter monday there is a

chance that area of high pressure could break down and allow rental systems to work in from the west, introducing more cloud and showers. light winds, high pressure for the easter weekend, one or two showers at west but most places will be dry and pretty warm with temperatures mid to high teens for many of us. through the easter weekend, although it will stay warm with a lot of dry and bright weather like i mentioned there is a chance of some rain trying to push in from the west. stay tuned to the forecast for all the details.

we were injanuary? i can has ukraine shifted that from where we were in january?— has ukraine shifted that from where we were in january? i can give you a very short — we were in january? i can give you a very short answer _ we were in january? i can give you a very short answer to _ we were in january? i can give you a very short answer to that _ very short answer to that one. massively. i think that has really change things dramatically. conservative mps happy about what went on with party gate? many conservative mps are absolutely massively uncomfortable with the idea that they are in government but breaking the rules? absolutely. there is the view so far that this is not the right time for a leadership contest. absolutely. {line leadership contest. absolutely. one thin . leadership contest. absolutely. one thin that leadership contest. absolutely. one thing that the critics of boris johnson pointed to as the ministerial code. this is a code which essentially says, if you mislead parliament you should resign. this has become a key between critics of the prime minister and his supporters. why is this not clear—cut given that in december put he said things which prove not to be true? you make the promised and his supporters say he will make the case and has made the case that when he spoke to parliament and when he spoke of course to the media and the country

more widely when he said that exactly said at that time he thought them to be true. now, you can take a view as to whether that is a very credible line of argument and of course, the country were split along the lines of those who think, come on. you're taking is absolutely for fools. a nurse is a no, no, no. it was an incredibly complex time. there was a pandemic, it was difficult all over the world and cut him some slack. don't go anywhere. i just want to bring up a tweet from the foreign secretary who is one of a number of senior conservative mps who has been giving her reaction to that vine. here is the tweet. sometimes we see notjust the conservative but lots of parties are sent out the wording of a tweet and then everyone's end at the same

tweet. that has not happened this time but there is a consistency to their messaging around acceptance of responsibility and apologising. i have seen that in a number of tweets now. , . , , have seen that in a number of tweets now. , , ,, now. yes, absolutely. i guess the country is — now. yes, absolutely. i guess the country is going — now. yes, absolutely. i guess the country is going to _ now. yes, absolutely. i guess the country is going to divide - now. yes, absolutely. i guess the country is going to divide into - now. yes, absolutely. i guess the country is going to divide into two camps. those who buy into that line and say, look, the prime minister has apologised, got to get these things into context. we are in the middle of a sort of global crisis unlike anything since the fall of the berlin wall but then you've got another chunk of the population who say, no, hang on a minute. the prime minister looked at the camera, look to parliament and said it was immensely important that the people of this country stuck by those incredibly strict coded regulations. he then went on to deny that those regulations had been violated either tjy regulations had been violated either by him or anybody else around a government. and that chunk of the population thinks that this is completely and you don't resign of an issue like this when on earth

would you? the instant polling on this, and one always has to be careful but instant polling, suggest that a majority of people do think there prime minister should resign. for the moment, thank you very much indeed for your

it did not occur to me that might be in breach of the rules but, of course, the police have found otherwise and i fully respect the outcome of their investigation. i understand the anger that many will feel that i myself fell short when it came to observing the very rules which the government i lead had introduced. to protect the public. and i accept, in all sincerity, that

people had the right to expect better and now i feel an even greater sense of obligation to deliver on the priorities of the british people, strengthening our economy, creating jobs and opportunity, levelling up across the whole of the united kingdom. and of course ensuring that putin fails in ukraine and easing the burden on hard—working families caused by higher energy prices. i will take forward that task with due humility but with maximum determination to fulfil my duty and do what is best for the country i served. thanks very much. this they should have a serving fire minister to have been found to have broken the will you resign? fii broken the will you resign? of course i broken the will you resign?

every effort to progress this at speed and it continues to assess significant amounts of materials. potentially, this could have a long way to run full so we don't know how many more fines will be issued and we don't yet know the sums involved. the prime minister and the chancellor had been fined knowing what is fixed penalty notices. there is an official record in the system but it is not a criminal record. as the actual amount you have to pay, that can vary. penalties for covid beaches were set at £100 during the high points of the pandemic in the fine for organisers of large events faced up to £10,000 in fines. let's hear more from one lawyer who has been following the whole story. fince been following the whole story. once ou start been following the whole story. once you start getting _ been following the whole story. (ziice: you start getting multiple fixed penalty notices, so for example, the police, surrey, the prime minister tended six gatherings that were being investigated, the first one would be 200 and then a double and

reports of the eye will contest this, i will go to court. is because that evidence which has been gathered will be so thorough and it won't be open to any kind of distortion which would encourage people to pay rather than contested in court. ., ., .,, in court. how involved with the most senior people _ in court. how involved with the most senior people in _ in court. how involved with the most senior people in the _ in court. how involved with the most senior people in the met _ in court. how involved with the most senior people in the met be - in court. how involved with the most senior people in the met be in - in court. how involved with the most senior people in the met be in this i senior people in the met be in this investigation and decisions whether to fine or not fine. the investigation and decisions whether to fine or not fine.— to fine or not fine. the actual investigation _ to fine or not fine. the actual investigation would _ to fine or not fine. the actual investigation would have - to fine or not fine. the actual| investigation would have been to fine or not fine. the actual - investigation would have been done by a team of officers quite junior but it would have gone through the chain of command to make sure the right people were being fined and if it is ambiguous that fame would not be issued. they would have to make sure that it was capable of proof so i do feel that the very senior leaders, because of the political inferences, would have been involved and although we talk about policing without fear favour, there would have been fear on this one.

at least 16 people have been hurt in an incident during morning rush hour at a new york subway station. shots were fired inside the 36th street station in brooklyn's sunset park at around 0830 local time on tuesday morning. these are pictures from the scene. firefighters were initially responding to reports of smoke on a train. once there, they found gunshot wound victims. the new york police department gave this update. just before 824 this morning as a manhattan bound train waited to enter the 30 six st station and individual on that train donned what appeared to be a gas mask. it took a canister out of his bag and opened it. the train at that time began to fill with smoke. he then opened fire, multiple people on the subway and on the platform. again, we will describe them as an individual, being reported as a male, black,

condition and our local hospitals. lots of pictures started to emerge showing the chaotic aftermath of this attack. some of them, we see gunshot victims, pools of blood on the floor, this image has been verified by the news agency. we have footage from inside the subway where the shooting took place. just before i show it to you i should warn you that you may find it distressing. this was filmed and we can see people on the ground injured and sam told the news agency that the subway door opened into calamity at the station with smoke and blood and people screaming. the white house press secretary has tweeted: a cbs correspondent was at the scene in new york and i spoke to her a few minutes ago. lirate new york and i spoke to her a few minutes ago-— new york and i spoke to her a few minutes ago. we do know that the manhunt is — minutes ago. we do know that the manhunt is under _ minutes ago. we do know that the manhunt is under way. _ minutes ago. we do know that the manhunt is under way. police - minutes ago. we do know that the manhunt is under way. police are. manhunt is under way. police are looking for that gunman, we have just had the firefighter described. you say and you can see that it is

an active investigation. the neighbourhood has since reopened somewhat, though. we talked a lot of focus on the scene and they say they are just in shock that that happened. we do know that early this morning, right in the middle, as people were going to work, as children were heading to school, that gunman got on a train car here in brooklyn, new york, opened a smoke canister. that train car filled with smoke and that is when police say the gunman opened fire hitting at these ten gunshot victims and injuring more. some of those who are battling injuries right now, some are battling smoke inhalation. as well as when they were hurt and trying to pour out of those terrifying train cars as you can imagine. again. people are in shock. police are very much looking for that suspected gunman. we have seen canines here on the scene. we have seen federal agents here on the scene, again, still looking for that

from the tower. thank you for that update from new york. let's - from the tower. thank you for that update from new york. let's turn i update from new york. let's turn back to these fines because he was some breaking news. the chancellor of the exchequer, we have been waiting to hear from of the exchequer, we have been waiting to hearfrom him. he is now offered an unreserved apology for breaking covid19lockdown offered an unreserved apology for breaking covid i9 lockdown laws and confirms he has also paid the fine just as the prime minister and prime minister's wife have. it is a deeply regret the frustration and anger caused and i am sorry. he goes on, i understand that four figures in public office the rules must be applied stringently in order to maintain public confidence. i respect the decision that has been made and obeyed the vine. it goes on, i know people sacrificed a great deal during covid and they will find a situation upsetting. i deeply regret the frustration and anger cause and i am sorry. it carries on, like the prime minister, i am focusing on delivering for the british people at this challenging time put up so we now have differing statements from the chancellor of the exchequer, the prime minister on the exchequer, the prime minister on the premise to's wife but effectively they all say the same thing which is they accept the

police fine. they are paid to the police fine. they are paid to the police fine. they are paid to the police fine and they are sorry. we will have of course, the bbc news website in the coming hours. hello there. it's been a bit of a soggy day across central northern parts of the uk, thanks to a pretty active weatherfront, which has been spreading its way northwards. further south, it's been dry with some sunshine, particularly across the southeast. but the rest of this week, it looks like high pressure will dominate the scene, so it will be largely settled, and for many of us, it's going to feel pretty warm for the time of year with those orange and yellow colours right across the uk. that's today's rain continuing to advance its way northwards this evening and overnight, becoming confined to the northeast of scotland and the northern isles. further south, it will be dry with clear spells. some mist and fog will develop, nowhere particularly cold, temperatures down to 7—10 degrees for many of us. for wednesday, then, we start off rather cloudy, damp across the north of scotland. the rain becoming confined to the northern isles. elsewhere, though, for the rest of scotland, northern ireland, england,

wales, a brighter day with plenty of sunshine around. but there will be a few showers developing, especially in england and wales, as some of them could be heavy, perhaps even thundery. it will be a little bit warmer even further north tomorrow with temperatures generally in the mid to high teens. now, as we head through wednesday night, it looks like low cloud, mist and fog will become more extensive across some southern and western areas, particularly around irish sea coasts. but again, it's going to be a mild night, especially for england and wales. it does mean, though, thursday could be a little bit cloudier for many of us, particularly across the northern and western half of the uk. probably the best of the sunshine will again be across the east and the southeast, but a few holes will break up in that cloud further west as well, so we could see some sunny spells here and there. again, quite mild, mid to high teens, we could see 20—21 celsius in the southeast. now, as we move into the easter

weekend, it looks like high pressure will continue to bring a lot of dry and settled weather, certainly for the first half of the weekend. i think as we get into easter sunday, perhaps easter monday, there is a chance that area of high pressure could break down and allow frontal systems to work their way in from the west, introducing a bit more cloud and some showers. at this stage of the picture, for good friday, looks pretty good, there will be higher pressure, light winds, a lot of dry and settled weather. some sunshine around, maybe just one or two showers out west, but i think most places will be dry, and again, it's going to be pretty warm, temperatures mid to high teens for many of us. then as we move through the easter weekend, although it will stay warm with a lot of dry and bright weather, like i mentioned, there is a chance of some rain trying to push in from the west. we have to stay tuned for the forecast for all of the details.

hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. borisjohnson has been fined for breaking the law — in the police investigation into parties in downing street. i understand the anger that many will feel that i myself fell short when it came to observing the very bills when it came to observing the very hills which the government i lead had introduced to protect the public. had introduced to protect the public. borisjohnson says, he won't resign — despite becoming the first serving prime minister to be sanctioned for breaking the law. his wife carrie, has also been fined. and so has the chancellor of the exchequer — rishi sunak — he's 'apologised unreservedly�*. the opposition, say both should go. they've dishonour their office and

have lied repeatedly to the public about it. britain deserves better. britain deserves better. we'll be looking at what mght happen next, as the 'partygate' story, continues to play out. also on the programme. 16 people are injured at a new york subway station after a man opens fire — in the morning rush hour this individual still on the loose. this individual still on the loose. this person is dangerous. we are asking individuals to be very vigilant and alert. as we've been hearing the british prime minister borisjohnson and his chancellor rishi sunak have been fined by police over a breach of lockdown regulations in downing street. at least 30 more fixed penalty notices have been issued by police who are investigating alleged breaches of lockdown rules in government buildings. susie flintham is part

of the covid—i9 bereaved families forjustice group — herfather howard died of covid i9. thank you very much indeed for joining us this evening. i wonder what your reaction was when you heard that the prime minister had been fined. i heard that the prime minister had been fined. ~ heard that the prime minister had been fined-— been fined. i think the most worrying — been fined. i think the most worrying part _ been fined. i think the most worrying part of— been fined. i think the most worrying part of my - been fined. i think the mostj worrying part of my reaction been fined. i think the most - worrying part of my reaction was the fact that i had not been surprised. the narrative that we have heard at the dispatch box has made it very, very obvious that the prime minister was involved in party gate and was guilty but that does not the pain that has been caused by this. the bereaved family sacrificed so much especially in the first wave in the first lockdown is when they could not have the funerals and the goodbyes loved one is that they deserved. the goodbyes loved one is that they deserved. . . , deserved. the prime the sacrifices that ou deserved. the prime the sacrifices that you and _ deserved. the prime the sacrifices that you and many _ deserved. the prime the sacrifices that you and many many _ deserved. the prime the sacrifices that you and many many others i deserved. the prime the sacrifices i that you and many many others made and said this was a genuine mistake, that he did not understand that what

know that he is a complete liar, i don't accept his apology is truth anyway. he needs to resign and serve as the chancellor. i anyway. he needs to resign and serve as the chancellor.— as the chancellor. i should point out that while _ as the chancellor. i should point out that while that _ as the chancellor. i should point out that while that is _ as the chancellor. i should point out that while that is your - as the chancellor. i should point. out that while that is your believe and that the opposition belief, the prime minister denies lying and he said he did not have information to him that that was the case. can i also ask you, but the name of the group you are part of. you are saying covid—i9 bereaved families forjustice. whatjustice are you hoping to achieve for your father and for many others who are lost in the pandemic? 50. and for many others who are lost in the pandemic?— the pandemic? so, what are the thins the pandemic? so, what are the thin . s we the pandemic? so, what are the things we are — the pandemic? so, what are the things we are looking _ the pandemic? so, what are the things we are looking for- the pandemic? so, what are the things we are looking for is - the pandemic? so, what are the things we are looking for is for i the pandemic? so, what are the i things we are looking for is for the covid memorial wall in london to become permanent to commemorate the scale of the loved ones that we have lost but also we have always wanted the government to learn lessons to save lives going forward which they clearly have done. they have moved any health protection. covid is still rife and people are still dying from this and no lessons have

been learned. especially when they are breaking their own lockdown restrictions, having parties and potentially spreading the virus to their own families so it is about keeping the public safe, that is the first and foremost thing and keeping the memorial wall permanent. i wonder, i am sure you have been in touch with lots of people this afternoon at this evening about the news. are there any people who, like you, lost loved ones during the pandemic who are in any way sympathetic to the prime minister, anyone who feels like he has made an error and owned up to it? flat anyone who feels like he has made an error and owned up to it?— error and owned up to it? not anyone that i have spoken _ error and owned up to it? not anyone that i have spoken to. _ error and owned up to it? not anyone that i have spoken to. there - error and owned up to it? not anyone that i have spoken to. there anger. that i have spoken to. there anger is widespread and it is justified. the whole of the general public makes you immense sacrifices but none so much of bereaved who could not say goodbye to loved ones. nobody was holding their hands. but my dad's funeral i could have had

five people, had two people. some people were watching funerals on zoom. if someone wants to be a johnson apologist then that is entirely on their conscience but i have not spoken to anybody today who is a johnson apologist. thank have not spoken to anybody today who is a johnson apologist.— is a johnson apologist. thank you very much _ is a johnson apologist. thank you very much for— is a johnson apologist. thank you very much for speaking _ is a johnson apologist. thank you very much for speaking to - is a johnson apologist. thank you very much for speaking to us. - let's show you the latest yougov polling on this. on whether borisjohnson should resign — 57% said yes. and on whether borisjohnson knowingly lied about breaking covid rules — 75% said yes. patrick english is the associate director of research. you have had one guy saying that she believes that the premise has not been straightforward, something he denies that of the majority people you have spoken to have drawn the same conclusion. spoken to have drawn the same conclusion-— spoken to have drawn the same conclusion. that is exactly right. we did a snap — conclusion. that is exactly right. we did a snap poll _ conclusion. that is exactly right. we did a snap poll today - conclusion. that is exactly right. we did a snap poll today of- conclusion. that is exactly right. we did a snap poll today of uk i we did a snap poll today of uk adults release this evening and we found that consist in the first time

we with the public on this issue of whether the prime ministers being truthful on his accounts over party gait we found that the majority, the vast majority, three and four british adults say that, no, the prime ministers not being straight with what went on. to prime ministers not being straight with what went on.— prime ministers not being straight with what went on. to what degree can ou with what went on. to what degree can you assess _ with what went on. to what degree can you assess if— with what went on. to what degree can you assess if this _ with what went on. to what degree can you assess if this is _ with what went on. to what degree can you assess if this is a - with what went on. to what degree can you assess if this is a reaction l can you assess if this is a reaction or how much does it say into broader perceptions of borisjohnson as a leader? you make a very good question. but we last checked in over the searches we found a similar number of people said yes, he should go. there is a latent attitude, latent trust with the prime minister, the ratings have been going down and down and down over the course of particularly the less out of six or eight months. it's of high points around the summer last year and the ratings were pretty good, relatively speaking, then. now the cost of living crisis, stories about partying, lockdown, etc etc.

this has been playing sense of public calling out really the prime minister. they don't trust him to any great degree and they don't think he is being truthful on this occasion and it looks as though they still think he should go and so should the chancellor. at the moment they feel that though presumably, you have done this poll in the minutes and hours that followed the news breaking when i imagine emotions are running strongest so you could to do this polling a couple of weeks and you may get something quite different, no? it is es. something quite different, no? it is yes- those — something quite different, no? it is yes- those who _ something quite different, no? it 3 yes. those who say that both jensen yes. those who say that bothjensen should design a slightly there are there when we are asking this question back injanuary so there is a little bit of movement there and perhaps he should take a of comfort from that. the fact of the matter still remains that of the majority of the public want him to go. the vast majority do not think that he is being truthful with them. so it is being truthful with them. so it is going to be a very, very long votive recovery for boris johnson is going to be a very, very long votive recovery for borisjohnson if there is to be won because the public so they do not believe what he says particularly on this issue.

on this issue, that may be the case but help me out here. presumably, where covid and where behaviour during the pandemic at its peak fits into peoples list of priorities shifts as time goes by and events and the cost of living crisis become more pressing. it and the cost of living crisis become more pressing-— more pressing. it certainly doesn't robabl more pressing. it certainly doesn't probably expect — more pressing. it certainly doesn't probably expect that _ more pressing. it certainly doesn't probably expect that the _ more pressing. it certainly doesn't probably expect that the figure - probably expect that the figure suggesting borisjohnson should resign as they were thenjanuary is because of other issues such as ukraine that have come into the news cycle. it would also expect as the stories about lockdown and parties, they have not been in the media so much as january and that does have an effect, it keeps the issue in peoples minds and keeps the emotions high. peoples minds and keeps the emotions hirh. ., ~' peoples minds and keeps the emotions hirh. ., ~ ,, ., i. peoples minds and keeps the emotions hirh. ., ., , peoples minds and keeps the emotions hirh. . ., ,., high. thank you for your help and understanding. _

in the past few minutes, the chancellor of the exchequer has issued this statement. i offer an unreserved apology. "i understand that for figures in public office, the rules must be applied stringently in order to maintain public confidence." i deeply regret the frustration and anger caused and i am sorry." they have all said they have paid the fine and all said sorry. our political correspondent jonathan blake is in westminster. a decent amount of speculation of a little while. now we have a statement.— little while. now we have a statement. ~ . , ., ., ~ ., little while. now we have a statement. ~ . .,~ ., statement. what did you make of it? he is deciding _ statement. what did you make of it? he is deciding to _ statement. what did you make of it? he is deciding to stay _ statement. what did you make of it? he is deciding to stay on, _ statement. what did you make of it? he is deciding to stay on, clearly, i he is deciding to stay on, clearly, he has the prime minister, as the prime minister has done, fronted up and paid the fine, taking the political heat and clearly calculated that it is best for him to stay in his position and attempt to stay in his position and attempt to ride this out. as you say, there's been a bit of speculation

about what he would do and several hours had passed, he and the prime minister were to receive these fixed penalty notices before we had any statement issued by the chancellor or a spokesperson for him. or heard any word of acknowledgement from his camp. tonight, we do have the statement, as you say, and which were she to enact offers a full apology. he said people sacrificed a great deal and they will find the situation upsetting. i deeply regret the frustration and anger caused and i am sorry. if you think about the event which he has been fined for attending, it was that gathering in the cabinet when the number ten on the cabinet when the number ten on the prime minister's birthday in june last year and he was asked about this in an interview with our political editor, not that long ago. and he said he will simply remember

any details of being there because it was so long ago. he clearly was not there for very long. and there is perhaps a, you would think an element of frustration that he has received a fine for that event but nevertheless, that is what has happened and he has had to take a hit to his reputation as a result and, as i say, he is offering that apology and clearly no intention of going anywhere despite the speculation that he might do and staying on as chancellor and along with borisjohnson, hoping to ride this out. it with boris johnson, hoping to ride this out. , , ., this out. it is interesting to observe — this out. it is interesting to observe and _ this out. it is interesting to observe and this _ this out. it is interesting to observe and this is - this out. it is interesting to observe and this is without j observe and this is without judgment, the reasons for people to resign or not resign have switched in british politics that abbas is imagine 15 years ago something like this happened there are prime minister the law that would be the end of their ministerial for a

days over the separate matter of his and his wife's tax arrangements and the fact that he held a green card for some time while holding office and being an elected mp and now this. so he will hope to emerge from this. so he will hope to emerge from this and attempt to draw a line under bed but of course the party gate site that is not over and there may be more fines to come and there may be more fines to come and there may well come of course, be further revelations, damaging ones for the government of an issue grave report is in full once the police investigation has concluded but to go back to your question about resignation is the key question is over misleading parliament because there is the ministerial code which ministers are bound by and if they are found to have knowingly, the expectation is they would offer their resignation. rishi sunak did say when asked that he did not attend any parties on the question will be whether he stands by that definition even given this fixed penalty notice that he has received.

thank you very much indeed. i want to bring you up—to—date on the situation in ukraine. the mayor of the besieged city of mariupol has said he estimates that 21 thousand civilians there have been killed. the estimate comes as britain and america investigate unconfirmed reports, that chemical weapons may have been used by russian forces in mariupol. they have been saying for some time now that they expect the number of people who have lost their lives in mariupol to be very high. of course, at this stage, it is very, very difficult to verify any of these figures but what we have seen is these pictures of absolute devastation. of some people estimate more than 75% of the city completely razed to the ground. we know the destruction there is huge and be here as well the stories and testimonies of those people who have

managed to flee and they have talked about seeing numerous bodies in various places so i think when we eventually, whatever that might be, eventually, whatever that might he, eventually, whatever that might he, eventually get to see what has happened in marie pole, it would be, i think, reasonable for the number of people who have died to be very high but at this stage it is almost impossible to verify that. with reference to these claims of a potential chemical attack, help us about the sourcing on those claims and who, if anyone is in a position to decide if they are credible or not. ~ , ., , . ., to decide if they are credible or not. . , ., _, ., to decide if they are credible or not. ~ , .,, _, ., ., not. well, this has come from a battalion who _ not. well, this has come from a battalion who you _ not. well, this has come from a battalion who you have - not. well, this has come from a battalion who you have talked i not. well, this has come from a - battalion who you have talked about on this programme before. you have explained the background on the links to the right wing and the fact that they are part of the ukrainian military. they put these claims out last night and they have been pictures and testimonies circulating on social media saying that a small number of people reported feeling ill. some of the symptoms you would

expect from a chemical attack which had come, they said, from a uav, a drone which may have got some sort of chemical substance. we did hear from the uk ministry of defence yesterday morning who said that they did expect that russia may well come to use chemical weapons in this conflict, particularly as there is now a new russian general in charge believed to have done the same sorts of thing in syria. but again, it is very, very difficult to verify. we know now that governments around the world are looking into that with some urgency because the use of chemical weapons really takes any conflict, any war to a new level but at this stage, again, it is almost impossible to say whether or not it was some kind of chemical attack or whether it was simply because the fighting is happening in a very industrial lirate fighting is happening in a very industria ~ . ., ~ industrial we have talked to colleagues _ industrial we have talked to colleagues and _ industrial we have talked to colleagues and we - industrial we have talked to colleagues and we have - industrial we have talked to i colleagues and we have talked industrial we have talked to - colleagues and we have talked to them about a city anticipating the arrival of the russians are an

our russia editor, steve rosenberg, reports now from the city of stav—ropol, in the south west of the country. russia is still claiming there is no war. it can't claim there are no casualties. at the cemetery in stavropol, there is a new line of graves, for elite soldiers killed in what they call here the special military operation, code for russia's offensive against ukraine. the kremlin has admitted significant losses. sergei was an officer in the paratroopers. his widow, lara, agreed to talk to me about losing him. translation: i didn't want to believe it. - i still don't completely believe it.

i've lost the one who is dearer to me than anyone else in my life. i know that the whole world is against us now. they will accuse russia of anything. but i knew my husband. he would never harm anyone. dimitri, too, dismisses claims of russian war crimes as fake news. he used to serve under sergei. translation: ukrainian politicians often say thank you to russia - for helping to unite ukraine. i want to say thank you to all the countries who imposed sanctions on us. thank you for helping to unite russia behind our commander in chief and president, vladimir putin. the messaging is clear — support the z, the symbol of the military operation. and through its total

control of the media, the kremlin has persuaded many here to back the offensive, and to treat reports of apparent russian atrocities as misinformation. ever since russia attacked ukraine, i've spoken to so many russians who have repeated almost word for word what they've been hearing on television. and what they've been hearing on tv is that, in ukraine, russia is battling nazis, neo—nazis, ultranationalists, liberating the country from fascism. basically creating a parallel reality. on a visit to russia's space centre today, president putin claimed his aims in ukraine were noble and would be achieved. that means his military offensive will continue. military losses are a tragedy, says the kremlin, but it's not ready yet for peace. steve rosenberg,

bbc news, stavropol. let's go back to new york now and that subway shooting. at least 16 people have been hurt in an incident during morning rush hour at a brooklyn subway station — ten of them shot, five of them in critical but stable conditions. shots were fired at the 36th street station in sunset park around 0830 local time on tuesday morning. these are pictures from the scene in brooklyn. firefighters were initially responding to reports of smoke on a train. once there, they found gunshot wound victims. the governor of new york says the gunman is still on the loose (sot) the governor of new york says the gunman is still on the loose. this individual is still on the loose. this person is dangerous. we are asking individuals to be alert and we will have more reports as the day goes on. this is an active shooter situation right now in the city of new york. i shooter situation right now in the city of new york.— colleague gave me an update a few

minutes ago stop though you have the nypd, the mayors office asking the public for help in identifying this suspect. at the moment right here where i am at the subway station, they are underground, coming this crime scene for any evidence, going to the surveillance footage in these nearby shops in this area to try to piece together the suspect�*s movements, because at this moment, again, he fled the scene as people were screaming, stumbling in shock out of that subway car bloodied from being shot. nobody knows where he went or what his possible motive was. they described him as a man wearing a green constructive vest, a hooded sweatshirt and a gas mask. really, it is quite frightening when you hear the eyewitness accounts of what happened. new yorkers just on their daily commute and all of a sudden the subway car fails with smoke and a suspect open fires. what

kind of area of the city is this for people who don't know brooklyn or new york while?— people who don't know brooklyn or new york while? yeah, well, this is sunset park- _ new york while? yeah, well, this is sunset park. we _ new york while? yeah, well, this is sunset park. we are _ new york while? yeah, well, this is sunset park. we are just _ new york while? yeah, well, this is sunset park. we are just 20 - new york while? yeah, well, this is | sunset park. we are just 20 minutes from manhattan, not far at all from the water friends, and from industry city, a place where a lot of businesses are. people often go shopping there for furniture, food. it's a vibrant, creative community. i've just been reflecting on this shooting because ever since the new mayor took office and really put the focus on public safety, you know, i've been speaking with new york areas and other high crime areas where they have noticeably experienced this rise in shootings that we keep talking about that is affecting new york, but sunset park is largely shielded from any of that, so add to the fact that there is no real understanding of why it happened here and in sunset park and the fact that this was the first

mass indiscriminate shooting in a number of years, and you really do have new yorkers visibly shaken and by this event. it's a bit cliche we always say new yorkers are resilient coming to conceding see behind me they are, traffic is moving, people are going back to their daily routine, but i think this will for sure underscore at the debate about public safety here. thank you very much indeed for — safety here. thank you very much indeed for that _ safety here. thank you very much indeed for that update. _ safety here. thank you very much indeed for that update. a - safety here. thank you very much indeed for that update. a quick i indeed for that update. a quick reminder he can get more reports for me on the outside source team at a number of places on bbc. you can get them on iplayer, you can also find some audio versions on bbc sounds, and if you want our summary of the prime minister being fined by the police for a break and covid lockdown, you can find that right now on my twitter feed, that is where you can follow me. finally just behind the air and the bbc news room, alex continued to work on my pages on both that story in westminster and on the ukraine

conflict. you can find both of those life pages to the websites. we will be back tomorrow. bye—bye. hello there. it's been a bit of a soggy day across central northern parts of the uk, thanks to a pretty active weatherfront, which has been spreading its way northwards. further south, it's been dry with some sunshine, particularly across the southeast. but the rest of this week, it looks like high pressure will dominate the scene, so it will be largely settled, and for many of us, it's going to feel pretty warm for the time of year with those orange and yellow colours right across the uk. that's today's rain continuing to advance its way northwards this evening and overnight, becoming confined to the northeast of scotland and the northern isles. further south, it will be dry with clear spells. some mist and fog will develop, nowhere particularly cold, temperatures down to 7—10 degrees for many of us. for wednesday, then, we start off rather cloudy, damp across the north of scotland. the rain becoming confined to the northern isles. elsewhere, though, for the rest of scotland, northern ireland, england,

wales, a brighter day with plenty of sunshine around. but there will be a few showers developing, especially in england and wales, as some of them could be heavy, perhaps even thundery. it will be a little bit warmer even further north tomorrow with temperatures generally in the mid to high teens. now, as we head through wednesday night, it looks like low cloud, mist and fog will become more extensive across some southern and western areas, particularly around irish sea coasts. but again, it's going to be a mild night, especially for england and wales. it does mean, though, thursday could be a little bit cloudier for many of us, particularly across the northern and western half of the uk. probably the best of the sunshine will again be across the east and the southeast, but a few holes will break up in that cloud further west as well, so we could see some sunny spells here and there. again, quite mild, mid to high teens, we could see 20—21 celsius in the southeast. now, as we move into the easter weekend, it looks like high pressure will continue to bring a lot of dry and settled weather, certainly for the first half of the weekend. i think as we get into easter sunday, perhaps easter monday, there is a chance that area of high pressure could break down and allow frontal systems

to work their way in from the west, introducing a bit more cloud and some showers. at this stage of the picture, for good friday, looks pretty good, there will be higher pressure, light winds, a lot of dry and settled weather. some sunshine around, maybe just one or two showers out west, but i think most places will be dry, and again, it's going to be pretty warm, temperatures mid to high teens for many of us. then as we move through the easter weekend, although it will stay warm with a lot of dry and bright weather, like i mentioned, there is a chance of some rain trying to push in from the west. we have to stay tuned for the forecast for all of the details.
