good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. borisjohnson and the chancellor rishi sunak resist calls to resign after being fined for breaking lockdown rules. good morning. we are about to get the latest figures on how fast prices are rising and brace yourselves, we are looking at a 30 year high for information. i am in birmingham talking to businesses about how it is affecting them and asking why we have not seen the worst of it yet. us presidentjoe biden describes russia's operation in ukraine as genocide. he says vladamir putin is trying to wipe out the idea of being ukrainian. we catch up with martin hibbert, who was paralysed in the manchester arena attack,

as he prepares to climb mount kilimanjaro. real heartbreak for chelsea. their reign as european champions is over as they're knocked out in extra time after an epic comeback in madrid. good morning. it is a mild start to the day once again, some rain moving north—east across scotland, cloudy for many first thing but the cloud will break up and we will see further showers develop as we go through the afternoon and it is getting warmer. all of the details throughout the programme. it's wednesday the 13th april. our main story. the prime minister and the chancellor are resisting calls to resign after they were fined, along with borisjohnson�*s wife carrie, for breaking covid lockdown rules. all apologised after they received fixed penalty notices from police over a gathering held for borisjohnson�*s birthday, in downing street injune 2020. 0pposition leaders have accused

mrjohnson and rishi sunak of lying to the public, after both previously denied any wrongdoing. 0ur political correspondent, jonathan blake, reports. the two men at the heart of government are now found to have broken the lockdown laws they set, designed to keep people safe during the pandemic. # happy birthday to you # june 2020, and borisjohnson visited a school on his birthday, which was allowed under the rules in place at the time. but later, he attended a gathering in the cabinet room of number 10, which police have decided broke the rules. rules which the prime minister has previously denied had been broken. i have been repeatedly assured since these allegations emerged that there was no party, and that... and that no covid rules were broken and that is what i have been repeatedly assured. yesterday, though, he accepted the police findings

and offered an apology. 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 an even greater sense of obligation to deliver on the priorities of the british people. the chancellor, also fined for his attendance at the cabinet room gathering, was asked earlier this year what he knew of any events that may have broken the rules. for the record, chancellor, you knew of nothing of any of these gatherings, even it happened outside that window? people think i'm standing out here looking outside that window. i spent half my time in the treasury as well as working here. but what i was focused on at that time, as were many people was making sure that we could help the country

through a period of enormous anxiety and it was incredibly busy. yesterday, he offered an unreserved apology, saying... for those who followed the rules and lost loved ones to covid, apologies are not enough. this man, a man of honour, voted for you, and i actually believe you let him down. you let me down. i was really angry, but also very upset that he would think that that was ok. you see, you got to survive, boris, my husband didn't. and it smacks to me, as somebody who really thinks he's above everybody else. and i didn't think that is who he was. conservative mps, even those critical of borisjohnson in the past, argue that with war

in ukraine, now is not the time for a leadership challenge. but opposition parties were quick to call for both men to go. this is the first time in the history of our country that a prime minister has been found to be in breach of the law and then he lied repeatedly to the public about it. britain deserves better. they have to go. if you lie to parliament, then you resign. there is no ifs, there is no buts. they must go, and they must go immediately so we can - get fresh leadership. the police investigation into parties in whitehall continues, meaning there could be more fines for government figures to come. and the civil servant sue grey's report is yet to be published in full. so the prime minister and the chancellor have survived a difficult day but the partygate saga is unlikely to be over. jonathan blake, bbc news. and if it's not over, what happens

now? we're joined now by our political correspondent nick eardley, who is at downing street. what can we expect in the next few days? i think the pressure on the prime minister and chancellor will continue, opposition parties are going to keep saying that the fact they have both found to be breaking they have both found to be breaking the rules, that they were responsible for setting and implementing, means they cannot stay in theirjob. that is a view shared by many groups representing families who lost loved ones during the pandemic. the group we really need to watch out for, though, is conservative mps. given that neither borisjohnson and rishi sunak are going to resign as things stand, it will be crucial what tory mps do next, whether they try to force a vote of no confidence in the prime minister. at the moment that looks unlikely. a lot of tory mps who were

really uncomfortable when these stories first emerged to say, the situation has changed, the war in ukraine means the circumstances are very different and we are not sure that now is the right time to be having a big conversation about changing the prime minister. it's not going away. there is still that report coming from sue grey, that is likely to happen as soon as the police investigation finishes. some people who are close to that process have told me they think that is going to be really explosive as well. in terms of the next few days, it doesn't feel like the prime minister or the chancellor are on the brink, but as i say, this isn't going away. for the brink, but as i say, this isn't going away-— the brink, but as i say, this isn't auoin awa . ., ., ., ~ , going away. for now, thank you very much indeed- _ and we'll be getting all the reaction to this story through the programme. notjust from not just from the notjust from the politicians, but people whose lives were affected by the lockdown, by the rules, and the families of some of those who lost relatives to covid so we will get reaction to that from all of them.

all of this is happening in the light of another big story we are talking about today, because in about an hour's time, the latest inflation figures will come out. let's go to nina in birmingham. what let's go to nina in birmingham. what can we exoect? _ let's go to nina in birmingham. what can we expect? good _ let's go to nina in birmingham. what can we expect? good morning from birmingham wholesale market. it is an 18 acre site, hundreds of traders here this morning, keeping a close eye on how prices are fluctuating. frankly, aren't we all, we learned last month about inflation for february so how much prices had gone up february so how much prices had gone up compared to the same period before. at that point inflation was at 6.2%, representing a hugejump from the month before a from 5.5%. predictions today it could go as high as 6.7%. that would represent a 30 year high. it is driven fundamentally by energy prices, the global economy stopped and started very solidly and —— suddenly and we

are still feeling the fallout because of oil and gas prices. increases in wages are about 4% which means that when you take inflation into account, we are all about 1% worse off, even less money going around in the bank account if you work in the public sector statistically.— you work in the public sector statisticall . , ., ., , statistically. these are monthly fi . ures statistically. these are monthly figures this— statistically. these are monthly figures this morning, _ statistically. these are monthly figures this morning, but - statistically. these are monthly figures this morning, but these j figures this morning, but these increases, it will not be the end of that, this could go on for ages? that's right, the bank of england are saying we have not seen the worst of it yet. their expectation is that inflation will hit 8% in the coming months. it could go even higher. what tools that they have in their armoury to bring it down? they can increase interest rates. the hope being that that would curb spending and bring inflation down but they warn that we need to strap ourselves in for up to three years, thatis ourselves in for up to three years, that is how long they think it might take to bring inflation down to their target of 2%. there is a

reality for all of us, for limited term future, the money will not be going as far. for some of those that will mean if you are luxuries, for some other people it will be a lot more serious than that. so some other people it will be a lot more serious than that.— some other people it will be a lot more serious than that. so 7am, the numbers? just _ more serious than that. so 7am, the numbers? just after— more serious than that. so 7am, the numbers? just after 7am. _ police in new york are hunting a gunman who opened fire on a subway train, wounding ten people, after he flooded the carriages with smoke at rush hour. 13 more commuters were injured, either as they tried to flee or through smoke inhalation. 0ur north america correspondent, david willis, has the latest. panic on a packed subway train at the height of the morning rush hour. screaming. passengers were sent spilling onto the platform after a gunman detonated smoke bombs between stations and fired 33 times before the doors opened. he fled to the sound of screams, and the sight of people collapsing, bloodied and wounded.

i saw a lot of people coming out of the train station, screaming, yelling for help. i saw a lady, she was shot right in her leg. police have released these pictures of a man they want to interview in connection with the attack. he's 62—year—old frankjames, and on monday, he rented a van that was found abandoned about five miles from the scene of the shooting. keys and a credit card discovered on the train linked mrjames to the vehicle, but officials are not saying if he is a suspect in the case. the suspect is a dark skinned male, and was wearing a neon orange vest and a grey coloured sweatshirt. we do have a person of interest in this investigation. but we need the public�*s assistance with additional information. detectives recovered a handgun, additional smoke grenades, gasoline and a hatchet at the scene at the attack. they believe the gun may have jammed, preventing what might otherwise have been a far more serious incident. new york has seen a sharp rise

in shootings recently but the city's mayor says such violence is not confined to the big apple. police believe the man who carried out this attack may also have been responsible for a series of vitriolic rants on social media, some of them attacking the mayor. his security has been beefed up as a result, and a massive manhunt is now under way. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. we will keep you posted on the latest development on that story from new york throughout the programme. it from new york throughout the programme-— from new york throughout the rouramme. h , , programme. it is 12 minutes past six and the easter— programme. it is 12 minutes past six and the easter weekend _ programme. it is 12 minutes past six and the easter weekend is _ and the easter weekend is approaching, let's find out what the weather is going to do, carol is smiling, that is a good sign! find smiling, that is a good sign! and she is on the _ smiling, that is a good sign! and she is on the beach! wouldn't that be nice! it is not a bad start because it is quite mild in terms of temperature and it is going to be a warm day. rain to

clear the north—east of scotland and most of us will have a day of sunny spells and showers. starting off on a cloudy note, there is the rain i was talking about, drifting towards the north—east. the cloud breaking through the day, and you will find that would spark some showers, some across some southern areas and into the south—east could be heavy and thundery. seven to 19 or 20 degrees. but not feeling as cool a the north sea coastline today because we have got an offshore breeze as opposed to an onshore one. this evening and overnight there will be clear skies but low cloud, mist and fog listing onto the shore in the west and south, and any weather front is coming in from the west. it will be colder than last night, temperatures five to 9 degrees. tomorrow, we start with low cloud, mist and fog but most of it inland will burn away but most of it inland will burn away but linger along the coasts. a lot

of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine around and some rain eventually getting into the west. look at these temperatures, 20 degrees, and on good friday, for some of us, not all of us, it could reach 21, possibly 22 degrees, but for all of us it will be warmer than it has been. that is a very good good friday! if you like it warm, it is! she - that is a very good good friday! if you like it warm, it is! she is - that is a very good good friday! if you like it warm, it is! she is very| you like it warm, it is! she is very careful, you like it warm, it is! she is very careful. for— you like it warm, it is! she is very careful, for some _ you like it warm, it is! she is very careful, for some of _ you like it warm, it is! she is very careful, for some of us, - you like it warm, it is! she is very careful, for some of us, not - you like it warm, it is! she is very careful, for some of us, not for l careful, for some of us, not for everybody!— careful, for some of us, not for eve bod! ., , ., everybody! always read the small rint with everybody! always read the small print with carol _ everybody! always read the small print with carol kirkwood! - everybody! always read the small print with carol kirkwood! it - everybody! always read the small print with carol kirkwood! it is - everybody! always read the small print with carol kirkwood! it is so| print with carol kirkwood! it is so true, print with carol kirkwood! it is so true. because — print with carol kirkwood! it is so true, because in _ print with carol kirkwood! it is so true, because in some _ print with carol kirkwood! it is so true, because in some places - print with carol kirkwood! it is so| true, because in some places will print with carol kirkwood! it is so . true, because in some places will be into the _ true, because in some places will be into the mid — true, because in some places will be into the mid to high teens, but not into the mid to high teens, but not into the _ into the mid to high teens, but not into the low— into the mid to high teens, but not into the low 20s. i don't want to give _ into the low 20s. i don't want to give false — into the low 20s. i don't want to give false expectations. you into the low 20s. i don't want to give false expectations.- give false expectations. you are very careful- _ give false expectations. you are very careful. thank _ give false expectations. you are very careful. thank you, - give false expectations. you are very careful. thank you, speak i very careful. thank you, speak later. president biden has for the first time used the word genocide to describe russia's war in ukraine. let's get more on this

from our correspondent danjohnson, who's in ukraine's western city of lviv. how significant are these comments from the us president? he didn't just say it once, he said it once and then horrified and said it again. and then horrified and said it aaain. , ., , ., and then horrified and said it aaain. , .,, ., ., again. yes, there was a hint that it miaht again. yes, there was a hint that it might have — again. yes, there was a hint that it might have been _ again. yes, there was a hint that it might have been a _ again. yes, there was a hint that it might have been a slip _ again. yes, there was a hint that it might have been a slip when - again. yes, there was a hint that it might have been a slip when he . again. yes, there was a hint that it | might have been a slip when he said to the first time, but he did repeat it, and he had not rode back from it and it is a big word and an important word. i think it signals just how strongly the us president feels about the evidence they have seenin feels about the evidence they have seen in those areas around kyiv which were occupied for russian authorities for weeks, after their withdrawal, the evidence about how civilians were treated and targeted, people were used as human shields and the mass graves that have been discovered daily. president zelensky has said. that sort of evidence is leading people to the conclusion, in the us president's word at least, that there has been a genocide in

ukraine carried out by the russians. this is aside from the speculation about the use of chemical weapons yesterday in mariupol, that is not confirmed by resident zelensky. the question will be, what response, what is done in reaction to that from other nato countries and mariupol, the city that city which has been the focus of the conflict for so long now, ukrainian soldiers trapped in the city unable to be resupplied, it feels like the russians might be able to complete their takeover of that city. the mayor said he cannot even count the dead because it is so dangerous in mariupol�*s streets, he estimates 21,000 residents could be killed. and the ukrainians have captured a

pro—russian leader and he has now been found and will be offered to the russians in a prisoner exchange. let's take a look at today's papers. and the front pages are dominated by the news that the prime minister and chancellor have been fined for attending a birthday party at the height of the covid lockdown. the mirror says the country is led by "liars and lawbreakers" and describes the number of people in government who've been fined as "shameful". the daily mail criticises those calling for the pm's resignation, asking: "don't they know there's a war on?" the paper reports that mrjohnson attended the birthday gathering for nine minutes and that his birthday cake "never left its box". the mail suggesting it is an overreaction to call for resignations at this stage. the guardian headline reads: "i broke my own law but i refuse to go". it says mrjohnson's position

"remains in peril" as the police are still investigating up to six further gatherings where he is said to have been present. the telegraph quotes a statement read by the prime minister after the fines were announced, in which he said: "people have the right to expect better". it also lists a number of tory mps who have withdrawn earlier calls for him to resign. and we will be talking about this story throughout the programme this morning, getting the views of all sorts of different people, and we would love to hear what you think of this at home so do let us know. let's have a look at the insides. we love a marathon story on this programme, this is in the times this morning. no stopping this incredible woman, katejaden, she morning. no stopping this incredible woman, kate jaden, she has run 100 marathons in 100 days. she is 35, a marathons in 100 days. she is 35, a marathon every day for the first 100 days of 2022, covering 2620 miles in total. it's thought she has set a

new world record by doing this. she has raised more than £26,000 for various different charities including refugee council. i love this, analysis of running habits shows that men's tactics during marathons suffer because they set off too quickly, typically a man will start at such a reckless pace he will have to slow down by an average of 17% in the second half of the race. women tend to not do that. just keep consistent. are you going to have a go? h0! just keep consistent. are you going to have a go? ha! i think my inner to have a go? no! i think my inner twitcher has been revealed. i had the blackbirds singing outside and it was very exciting. i was drawn to this picture in the daily telegraph, these are drained pictures, it looks like a petri dish in a chemical lab or something! the shock of these are pictures from a drone. these are some trees from above, these are

heron nests, they have returned to the uk, 11 less, nine more than they have expected, they did not realise they were there until they put the drone up and looked down. this is one of brilliant _ drone up and looked down. this is one of brilliant things _ drone up and looked down. this is one of brilliant things about - one of brilliant things about getting up so early in the morning is bad some on the way to work. —— getting some birdsong on the way to work. fir getting some birdsong on the way to work. , ., ~' , getting some birdsong on the way to work. , ., ~ , ., work. or you get the kids on their loudspeakers. — work. or you get the kids on their loudspeakers, listening _ work. or you get the kids on their loudspeakers, listening to - work. or you get the kids on their| loudspeakers, listening to rhianna in the car! here on breakfast we've been following the story of martin hibbert, who was told he would never walk again after suffering a spinal injury in the manchester arena bomb. since then, martin's taken on some massive fundraising challenges, and in a few weeks he's going for the biggest one yet, climbing mount kilimanjaro. graham satchell went to see how his training is going. an altitude chamber at burnley chamber and martin hibbert an altitude chamber at burnley

college and martin hibbert is being put through his paces. that's it, good. mentally and physically it's probably the best i've ever been in life. i feel like a million dollars. i don't feel disabled. ifeel like i'm flying home. the chamber has reduced oxygen levels. it replicates conditions at the top of the mountain. kilimanjaro, the highest summit in africa. in just a few short weeks, martin will attempt to climb this mountain to raise money and awareness for people with spinal—cord injuries. i get emotional because i remember, you know, waking up in intensive care, not being able to move and thinking my life is over. and here i am, about to set off to climb kilimanjaro, one of the highest mountains in the world. i want this to be about, look at what somebody can do when they have got the help and support. it's almost five years now since the manchester arena attack left 20 people dead.

left 22 people dead. martin and his daughter eve were the closest to the bomber to survive. eve suffered life changing injuries. martin, left paralysed from the waist down. maybe that's why i have survived, maybe it's this moment, maybe my role in life is to change the life and the world for spinal injury people and disabled people and that feels really important to me. and it's just all starting to make sense now. it feels right. a snowy hill top in lancashire and a moment martin has been waiting forfor months. can't wait to do it. whoo! there you go. it looks cool, doesn't it? the red really looks cool, love it, love it! this custom built british made mountain trike could make all the difference in getting to the summit. it's making the impossible possible. to see something that is giving me legs to do something that a lot

of able—bodied people struggle with, it makes me quite emotional to see it. i can't believe how easy it gets over... the little bumps you don't even notice. it's getting over with no trouble whatsoever. getting up kilimanjaro will have significant challenges for martin, not just the terrain. like, for example, going to the loo. in the world of spinal—cord injury, that's all we talk about. poos and wees, that's all we talk about. how do you wee, how do you poo? that's all we talk about. you don't say, my name is martin. you know about every poo and wee before you even know about their name. if i don't get the skinned side of it right, the bowel and the bladder, i could die. going to the toilet, you know, having accidents, that's what i get really upset about and i will probably never get my head around. i want people to see that. i think it's important, and hopefully you know,

people don't mind me talking about it because i think it's important. yeah, down will be a lot easier! really excited to hand over the mountain trike now and you can start training on it and preparing for kilimanjaro in the trike. been brilliant to be a part of it, thank you very much. cheers, mate. back in burnley, martin is about to get in a huge fridge, a cryochamber at —90 degrees. when you are ready, off you go, i've got your back. 0k? yeah. he will be in there for three minutes. as you can see it's getting colder, he's working on the joints that he's been using in the muscles that he's been using and just boosting recovery to those areas. nathan and his team at burnley college have been so impressed by martin, they are providing the training

and facilities here for free. his determination is very inspiring. i'm really passionate about people getting the best out of life, so whatever life looks like for them, they can achieve the things they want to in life. and so this is his chance, so we wanted to help him achieve that challenge. martin always says for people with spinal—cord injuries, everyday is like climbing a mountain. he wants things to change for wheelchair users, to show that with the right help and support, they can do anything. graham satchell, bbc news, burnley. what a guy. what a man. i love what he said, what a guy. what a man. i love what he said. he — what a guy. what a man. i love what he said, he didn't _ what a guy. what a man. i love what he said, he didn't feel— what a guy. what a man. i love what he said, he didn't feel disabled, - what a guy. what a man. i love what he said, he didn't feel disabled, he l he said, he didn't feel disabled, he felt he could fly. he is a force to be reckoned with and we will be following him. he is due to make the climb injune. i following him. he is due to make the climb in june-— climb in june. i love the fact that he is completely _ climb in june. i love the fact that he is completely honest, - climb in june. i love the fact that he is completely honest, warts l climb in june. i love the fact that i he is completely honest, warts and all, this is an amazing thing i am doing but really tough. bud all, this is an amazing thing i am doing but really tough.— all, this is an amazing thing i am

transport bosses say the new elizabeth line will be open by the end ofjune at the latest. passengers are being advised to avoid london euston over the easter bank holiday because the station will be closed. network rail says its investing millions of pounds in new track. the upgrades mean no trains will leave euston from good friday to easter monday. services will start and finish at milton keynes. three pedicab drivers have been fined over £1,200 for playing loud music whilst carrying passengers through west end. westmisnter council says it wants to crackdown on noise, traffic and disturbance caused by the vehicles. the fines issued were more than double the value of previous ones given out for similar offences earlier this year. detectives investigating an allegation of serious sexual assault in romford are appealing for help to identify a man they would like to speak

to in connection with the attack. it happened on angel way early last month. the suspect is described as a white man aged 25 to 30. well if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. 0nto the weather now with sara thornton. morning to you. a warm start this morning, temperatures typically around ten degrees. there is a bit of mist and murk at first, but also for the first half of the day today, dry with some sunshine. later, though, we will see a few showers just being sparked off by that sunshine. you can see just about any of us could see them, some places will stay dry and it will be another warm day with temperatures once more in the high teens. 0vernight tonight, it's actually going to be a little bit cooler than the nightjust gone. we've got light winds, clear skies, a bit of low cloud, mist and murk rolling into the west by first thing tomorrow morning and a chillier feel to start your day. but it is another fine day and for the coming days high pressure in control of our weather

out towards the east. towards the west, there will be a few fronts trying to push in. they don't really make inroads until at least monday for us in london, in the southeast. so we've actually got a plenty of fine weather in the forecast. and not only that, of course, the big story is the temperatures, it is going to be really warm in the coming days. by the end of the week could see 21 or 22. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. now though it's back tojon and sally. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. in about half an hour, the latest inflation figures will come out, let's go to nina, who's at a market in birmingham. morning, nina, what we can expect?

we don't think it is going to be good news, let's put it that way. good morning and welcome to birmingham wholesale market. this is one of the biggest markets of its kind in europe. 18 acres of fruit, veg, dairy products, fish, meat and even flowers and plants.the traders have been here since about midnight last night taking in products from around the world and they're now in the process of selling it to restaurants, hotels, pubs and even individual buyers after a bargain. we learnt how quickly prices were rising for the same period earlier, and it is 6.2%. that leeper was the biggest rise in almost 15 years. what was driving that? we learn clothes, shoes, food, coffee and second—hand cars were going up disproportionately in price. that is a broad range of products. the

predictions for march and the latest figures were approximately 6.7%. you have to go all the way back to the early 90s to get inflation figures as high as that, a 30 year high. why? | as high as that, a 30 year high. why? i don't need to remind you about the eye watering petrol prices we saw a month ago in march, really leaping up. why does it matter? think about your wages. we learn yesterday they are only going up by approximately 4%. it would be higher in the private sector but much lower in the private sector but much lower in the private sector but much lower in the public sector. we crunched the numbers yesterday and if you work in the public sector, statistically you are 3% less well off than you were three months ago. let's talk to some of the traders. this is mark, who has been struggling. a lot of his products come from continental europe. good morning. beautiful tomatoes,

treading water. lots of people don't have that luxury. the predictions from the bank of england is inflation will go higher than 8% in the months. it will use interest rates to try and bring it down. in the meantime, unless someone is fortunate enough to get a massive bonus, you will be feeling it, you will have less in your bank account to go around when you factor in inflation. we get the latest figures at seven o'clock, expected to go higher than 7.6%. in the meantime, i think we will chill out and watch a bit of telly, is anything good on. mind your back, i think they have been waiting patiently, you are in the way. and now she is on the telly. where has she gone? we will see you again, that's very important momentjust after seven o'clock this morning. that was a brilliant explanation from steve about the transportation. the cargo from china. even the

weather as well. all these things that feed into those inflation figures, we will get them in 25 minutes. before that, let's return to the big story and the news that broke yesterday afternoon that boris johnson and rishi sunak were fined by police for breaking up down rules. the snp's westminster leader, ian blackford, has written to the prime minister, saying that he should "do the right thing and resign". mr blackford joins us now from skye. good morning. why did you write this letter and why should the prime minister resign? it is letter and why should the prime minister resign?— minister resign? it is worth reflecting _ minister resign? it is worth reflecting on _ minister resign? it is worth reflecting on what - minister resign? it is worth reflecting on what has - minister resign? it is worth - reflecting on what has happened, this is the first prime minister in history that has been found to have broken the law in office. it is a breach of trust with the public. let's not forget, this was about the culture of parting taking place in downing street between the prime minister and the government, those around the prime minister who could not obey their own laws. it is the anger many people feel up and down

these islands, they made enormous sacrifices, they could not be with their loved ones when they were in hospital and care homes, couldn't hold funerals, couldn't hug their relatives and yet the prime minister, the man who was responsible for these laws was carrying on partying in 10 downing street. the apology yesterday doesn't cut it. he has lost the moral authority to lead and he ought to show some leadership now and recognise that this is a massive breach of trust. this is someone who, let's not forget, continually lied to parliament, the public, said the parties didn't take place, said if the parties happen, he wasn't at them, but we now know that is not true. the police had found him in breach of his own laws, he has a duty to do the right thing. there have to be standards in public life. the ministerial code makes a clear, you cannot lie to parliament and also, you should not be in breach of the law. there is no case of defence, the prime minister, if he

is a man of honour and a man of integrity, he would have gone by now. if he will not do the right thing, he needs to be dragged in front of parliament and parliamentarians, particularly on the conservative side have got to show some moralfibre the conservative side have got to show some moral fibre and recognise this man simply cannot carry on in office. ~ , , ., ~' this man simply cannot carry on in office. ~ , i. ~ , office. why did you think his a olo: office. why did you think his apology wasn't _ office. why did you think his apology wasn't enough - office. why did you think his apology wasn't enough for. office. why did you think his - apology wasn't enough for you? he is dealing with the biggest crisis of a generation and he made mistakes and he simply said yesterday, he got it wrong, does that not mean something? of course it doesn't, sally. he of course it doesn't, sally. he broke the law, laughing at the public, as he did on many occasions and showing no contrition. what is interesting about it, if you think about everything else that has gone on over the last week, the non—dom status, the green cards and so on and so forth, what has happened is the government knows that they have

been found out. the rules are not for them, they are for the rest of us, the little people and they should be held to a different standard. that is not right. if you break the law, particularly breaking the laws he has made, then you have to accept responsibility. there is something much deeper than this, if you look over the course of the last few years, think about the dodgy covid contracts those close to the tory party got, think about the refurbishment of the downing street flat, those who end up in the house of lords because they give significant sums of money to the tory party. this is a threat to our democracy and if the prime minister can carry on regardless on the back of this now, that he can do as he pleases and the rules don't apply to him, we cannot have that and there needs to be a line in the sun that says, this man has gone too far, cross the line and broken the law and lost the right to govern in this country and he should go. you and lost the right to govern in this country and he should go. you make a owerful country and he should go. you make a

powerful argument _ country and he should go. you make a powerful argument there, _ country and he should go. you make a powerful argument there, but - country and he should go. you make a powerful argument there, but what. country and he should go. you make a powerful argument there, but what i l powerful argument there, but what i am curious to know is, there have been calls for borisjohnson to resign for many months, he hasn't, he is still in post. why would these fines change anything? by, he is still in post. why would these fines change anything? b. 11th he is still in post. why would these fines change anything?— fines change anything? a lot of conservative _ fines change anything? a lot of conservative mps _ fines change anything? a lot of conservative mps have - fines change anything? a lot of conservative mps have said, i fines change anything? a lot of. conservative mps have said, let's wait and see what happens and if the prime minister is found guilty, circumstances change. now we know the prime minister did break the law. goodness knows if he has broken the law on other occasions because investigations are still going on and we have yet to see the full content of the report. there comes a time when you have to say enough is enough. this man has abused the office he holds, he is not fit to be prime minister and he has to be held to account properly. conservative mps have to do that. we know from polling over the last 24 hours, the majority of the public wants him to go. if the conservatives don't accept responsibility for this, the public will do it for them. it is better this man is removed and we can get on with fighting the cost of

living crisis, we can get on across the house of commons that we support the house of commons that we support the people of ukraine and stand up against the war crimes of vladimir putin. we get rid of this prime minister, he is a stain on our democracy. minister, he is a stain on our democracy-— minister, he is a stain on our democra . . , ., ., democracy. that is a cost of living crisis, democracy. that is a cost of living crisis. ongoing — democracy. that is a cost of living crisis, ongoing war _ democracy. that is a cost of living crisis, ongoing war in _ democracy. that is a cost of living crisis, ongoing war in ukraine, - democracy. that is a cost of living crisis, ongoing war in ukraine, is| crisis, ongoing war in ukraine, is this the time to change leadership? yes, when you have the situation when someone cannot be trusted in office, crucial moments in the past, during the first world war, the second world war and the war on terror we have changed prime minister, we are not at war, we are supporting ukraine that are. we need a prime minister who is worthy of office. this prime minister isn't. you have called for parliament to be recalled, if that doesn't happen, what else can you do? i recalled, if that doesn't happen, what else can you do?— recalled, if that doesn't happen, what else can you do? i have called for parliament _ what else can you do? i have called for parliament to _ what else can you do? i have called for parliament to be _ what else can you do? i have called for parliament to be recalled - for parliament to be recalled tomorrow because it is important he

comes tomorrow and makes a resignation statement, followed by the chancellor. there is a conservative majority in parliament who want to put down urgent questions. but the finger has been pointed at tory mps. douglas ross in scotland said borisjohnson has to 90, scotland said borisjohnson has to go, he seems to have changed his mind. eitheryou go, he seems to have changed his mind. either you believe you have to do the right thing in public office, there has to be honour and dignity in that role, or you allow someone who is a serial liar, someone who breaks the law to remain in office. ian blackford, thank you very much for talking to us this morning. it is coming up to 6.45 this wednesday morning. i was hoping for an early night last night. did you stay up? yes, it was gripping. that is the thing with games like

this, you want to watch them and hope they will be done and dusted if you have an early start. but it wasn't meant to be. he would be forgiven for thinking chelsea didn't have much hope, because they were 3-1 have much hope, because they were 3—1 down from the first leg. he thought it was going to be one of the biggest comebacks in champions league history. but it wasn't quite enough for the reigning champions of europe. karim benzema's decisive goal in the 96th minute sent real madrid through 5—4 on aggregate. 0lly foster reports from the spanish capital. the hours before kick off are always full of hope, never mind that chelsea's manager had effectively written off their chances in madrid, describing the tie as irretrievable and almost impossible. we can do it. this is a champions league winning team, so why not? win. end of, miracle madrid. this was chelsea's first match in the bernabeu when they knocked out the spanish giants last season it was behind closed doors at another stadium. after 15 minutes, the home support was silenced...

commentator: and it's. exactly what they needed. mason mount gave chelsea belief and real were rattled. half time didn't stop their momentum. nothing was going to stop antonio rudiger. it was all square. it was all chelsea. they had a goal disallowed before timo wernerjinked his way past desperate real defenders and sent chelsea into dreamland. commentator: still timo werner - it's in! _ into the semi—finals? no! luka modric picked out the substitute rodrigo. he'd been on the pitch forjust two minutes. that sent the game into extra time. chelsea had chances there as well, but karim benzema, who scored a hat trick at stamford bridge last week, delivered the knockout blow. we were unlucky, that is why we were disappointed, we got beaten by individual quality and conversion. conversion of our mistakes.

unfortunately we had two mistakes, the most crucial moments against real madrid. so in the end we were unlucky. this has been a cruel, cruel night for chelsea. very few teams come here and win, they were brilliant. but they'll just regret those missed chances and mistakes in the first leg last week at stamford bridge. and that is why real, the greatest european team of all time, are into the semi—finals. 0lly foster, bbc news, madrid. meanwhile, bayern munich were stunned as they were knocked out by villareal. samuel chukwueze scored a late winner to it 2—1 on aggregate and qualify for the semi—finals for the first time in 16 years. it's the turn of the two remaining english sides tonight. manchester city travel to atletico madrid with a 1—0 advantage, with manager pep guardiola insisting his payers aren't tired, as they chase three trophies.

you know, this game, the next one and the next one is because we have done really well so far and in that moment you are not tired, when you are so close to reaching the semifinal of the champions league or, you know, next saturday to raise the fa cup... ..you're not tired. busy for liverpool, too. they'll be hoping they can see off benfica at anfield with a two goal advantage. but managerjurgen klopp is not happy with the fixture schedule over the next few weeks. the only game i'm concerned about is tomorrow night, benfica. then we play saturday, because of the success we've had so far, we play on saturday, city. that would usually be, that would be aston villa. so it might have been sunday, i don't know. then we play united, then we play everton. then, if we get through tomorrow night, we have a semifinal and then bt thought they would give us newcastle away a 12.30. they couldn't care less, the tv stations, i know i'm angry

about this but it's just not ok. and manchester united are on the brink of announcing their new manager for next season — eric ten hag. the current ajax boss reportedly has an agreement in principle, although the club say no deal has been done to find 0le gunnar solskjaer�*s permanent replacement. it is thought interim boss ralph rangnick will remain at united as an advisor. a record crowd for a women's match in northern ireland saw england all but assure their world cup qualification after a comprehensive 5—0 win over the hosts. at a packed windsor park in belfast it was lauren hemp who scored the opener, her first of two on the evening which came either side of an ella toone goal. and late on georgia stanway picked up a double as well, this her second just over 10 minutes from time, england now have now scored 68 goals and conceded none in eight qualification games while northern ireland's hopes

of a first world cup are over. scotland were beaten 2—0 by spain at hampden park. jennifer hermoso scored in each half to seal top spot in group b for the visitors while scotland remain second, in a play—off position, with two games remaining. a better night fot wales, who took a big step towards finishing second in their group, and securing a qualifying play—off place. they beat kazakhstan 3—0, natasha harding among the goal scorers as she earned her 100th international cap. we had a bit of a late night last night watching that northern ireland england game. it was a 5—0 win for england game. it was a 5—0 win for england but the crowds at windsor park, was over 15,000. it was the young girls and that is the next generation who will be coming forward and supporting them. that is what it is all about. and juergen

klopp quite cross. we don't see that very often, but increasingly so. he is under pressure. a busy few days? what is interesting is, pep guardiola one side is very calm, nothing wrong, all fine, the players are not tired. and thenjuergen klopp saying it how it is, his heart is on his sleeve. yes, thank you. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning, we are going to look at what is going on over the easter weekend. 0n at what is going on over the easter weekend. on sunday there is a chance weekend. on sunday there is a chance we could see weather fronts coming on across the north and west. if that happens it will introduce rain and pressure conditions and we are looking at overnight mist and fog. talking of such things, on thursday and good friday, patchy, mist and fog linking over the english channel. 0n

fog linking over the english channel. on saturday and easter sunday that is likely to be part of the west coast and that will take the west coast and that will take the temperature down. we have a lot of cloud today, rain pushing across scotland and the cloud continuing to break through the day and sunny skies developing but equally there will be further showers. some in the south could prove to be heavy and thundery. seven to 19 degrees, but not feeling as cool along the north sea coastline today as it did yesterday. 0vernight, the remnants of the rain clear away but you can see where we have the miss, low cloud and fog on show and that will be pushing inland. by the end of the night a weather front will be making an appearance in northern ireland and the far west. a colder night than the onejust and the far west. a colder night than the one just gone and tomorrow we start with brightness, still this mist and fog, some of which will linger along the coasts and then rain coming in across northern ireland and also western scotland. temperatures through the course of tomorrow ranging from 11 in the north to 20 in the south—east. thank

this is like next—generation, it's not a tube line, it's a full—sized train. so part of the approach was how do you address the difference in scale and how do you make the stations work and operate for large amounts of people, you know, high volumes of people getting on and off the trains? transport bosses say the new elizabeth line will be open by the end ofjune at the latest. passengers are being advised to avoid london euston over the easter bank holiday because the station will be closed. network rail says its investing millions of pounds in new track but the upgrades mean no trains will leave euston from good friday to easter monday. three pedicab drivers have been fined over £1200 for playing loud music whilst carrying passengers through west end. westmisnter council says it wants to crackdown on noise, traffic and disturbance caused by the vehicles.

the fines issued were more than double the value of previous ones given out for similar offences earlier this year. marks and spencer's plans for a new oxford street store have edged a step closer closer. it's after the mayor sadiq khan says he won't stop the department store bulldozing one of its most famous stores and replacing it with a smaller one. m&s wants to demolish the century—old art deco building in oxford street and build a new ten—storey building that'll also house offices and a gym. if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. there's severe delays on the metropolitan line 0nto the weather now with sara thornton. morning to you. a warm start this morning, temperatures typically around ten degrees. there is a bit of mist and murk at first, but also for the first half of the day today, dry with some sunshine.

later, though, we will see a few showers just being sparked off by that sunshine. you can see just about any of us could see them, some places will stay dry and it will be another warm day with temperatures once more in the high teens. 0vernight tonight, it's actually going to be a little bit cooler than the nightjust gone. we've got light winds, clear skies, a bit of low cloud, mist and murk rolling into the west by first thing tomorrow morning and a chillier feel to start your day. but it is another fine day and for the coming days high pressure in control of our weather out towards the east. towards the west, there will be a few fronts trying to push in. they don't really make inroads until at least monday for us in london, in the southeast. so we've actually got a plenty of fine weather in the forecast. and not only that, of course, the big story is the temperatures, it is going to be really warm in the coming days. by the end of the week could see 21 or 22.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. 0ur headlines today. borisjohnson and the chancellor rishi sunak resist calls to resign after being fined for breaking lockdown rules. i accept in all sincerity that people have the right to expect better, and now i feel an even greater sense of obligation to deliver on the priorities of the british people. how fast our prices rising? we are about to find out as we get the latest inflation figures, expected to be as a 30 year high. i am talking to traders in birmingham about the impact on them and what they do when prices go even higher. us presidentjoe biden describes russia's operation in ukraine as genocide. he says vladamir putin is trying to wipe out the idea of being ukrainian. real heartbreak for chelsea. their reign as european champions is over as they're knocked out

in extra time after an epic comeback in madrid. it's a mild start to the day—to—day, some rain moving northwards across north—east scotland, a lot of cloud to start with with some showers, that should break up. we will see some sunshine developing but further showers will develop as well. all of the details the programme. and we'll find out about the special orchestra concert celebrating music from one of the most iconic tv series of all time, thunderbirds. it's wednesday the 13th april. the prime minister and the chancellor are resisting calls to resign after they were fined, along with borisjohnson's wife carrie, for breaking covid lockdown rules. all three apologised after they received fixed penalty notices from police over a gathering held for borisjohnson's birthday, in downing street injune 2020. 0pposition leaders have accused mrjohnson and rishi sunak of lying

to the public after they both previously denied any wrongdoing. 0ur political correspondent, jonathan blake, reports. the two men at the heart of government are now found to have broken the lockdown laws they set, designed to keep people safe during the pandemic. # happy birthday to you # june 2020, and borisjohnson visited a school on his birthday, which was allowed under the rules in place at the time. but later, he attended a gathering in the cabinet room of number 10, which police have decided broke the rules. rules which the prime minister has previously denied had been broken. i have been repeatedly assured since these allegations emerged that there was no party, and that... and that no covid rules were broken and that is what i have been repeatedly assured.

yesterday, though, he accepted the police findings and offered an apology. 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 an even greater sense of obligation to deliver on the priorities of the british people. the chancellor, also fined for his attendance at the cabinet room gathering, was asked earlier this year what he knew of any events that may have broken the rules. for the record, chancellor, you knew of nothing of any of these gatherings, even one that happened outside that window? people think i'm standing out here looking outside that window. i spent half my time in the treasury as well as working here. but what i was focused on at that time, as were many people was making sure that we could help the country

through a period of enormous anxiety and it was incredibly busy. yesterday, he offered an unreserved apology, saying... for those who followed the rules and lost loved ones to covid, apologies are not enough. this man, a man of honour, voted for you, and i actually believe you let him down. you let me down. i was really angry, but also very upset that he would think that that was ok. you see, you got to survive, boris, my husband didn't. and it smacks to me, as somebody who really thinks he's above everybody else. and i didn't think that is who he was.

conservative mps, even those critical of borisjohnson in the past, argue that with war in ukraine, now is not the time for a leadership challenge. but opposition parties were quick to call for both men to go. this is the first time in the history of our country that a prime minister has been found to be in breach of the law and then he lied repeatedly to the public about it. britain deserves better. they have to go. if you lie to parliament, then you resign. there is no ifs, there is no buts. they must go, and they must go immediately so we can - get fresh leadership. the police investigation into parties in whitehall continues, meaning there could be more fines for government figures to come. and the civil servant sue grey's report is yet to be published in full. so the prime minister and the chancellor have survived a difficult day but the partygate saga is unlikely to be over. jonathan blake, bbc news.

in the last few minutes, the latest uk inflation figures were published. nina's at a market in birmingham to talk us through them. so what's the numbers, nina? good morninu. so what's the numbers, nina? good morning- 796. _ so what's the numbers, nina? good morning. 7%, that _ so what's the numbers, nina? good morning. 7%, that is _ so what's the numbers, nina? good morning. 796, that is what _ so what's the numbers, nina? good morning. 7%, that is what inflation hit for the month of march. predictions were it would be around 6.7%, it has gone even higher. this is the third round it has done so, driven primarily by the increase of energy prices, gas and transport, you will have noticed that and it trickles down to every element of the economic ecosystem. carl is an economist who has been looking at the numbers, why is it number than predicted once again? this the numbers, why is it number than predicted once again?— predicted once again? as you mentioned. _ predicted once again? as you mentioned, 796, _ predicted once again? as you mentioned, 796, we - predicted once again? as you mentioned, 796, we are - predicted once again? as you. mentioned, 796, we are seeing mentioned, 7%, we are seeing inflation higher—than—expected and now she is at the highest level since 1992, 30 years ago. —— it is

at the highest level. this is the first month's data which captures data since russia's invasion of ukraine so part of that has fed through into energy prices and more broadly into food prices and other prices, it's coming as a result of the invasion. so prices, it's coming as a result of the invasion.— the invasion. so implicit in that, because it _ the invasion. so implicit in that, because it is _ the invasion. so implicit in that, because it is the _ the invasion. so implicit in that, because it is the first _ the invasion. so implicit in that, because it is the first month - the invasion. so implicit in that, | because it is the first month that captures the prices in ukraine, is that inflation will go higher, we will have further fallout from that? it's definitely possible that the crisis will have further effects in the coming months. that will then be compounded by what we have seen already this month from april, the increase in the energy price cap, and other further pressures on the cost of living as well.— cost of living as well. what does it mean for people — cost of living as well. what does it mean for people watching - cost of living as well. what does it mean for people watching at - cost of living as well. what does it | mean for people watching at home, and thinking, 7%, what does that mean for me? how much will they feel it in the coming months? ?�*s mean for me? how much will they feel it in the coming months?— it in the coming months? 796 isn't something _ it in the coming months? 796 isn't something we _ it in the coming months? 796 isn't something we have _ it in the coming months? 796 isn't

but it could go higher than that. these are extraordinary times, coming out of a pandemic and the war in ukraine, the expectation is now that interest rates will go up to curb spending to bring prices down but we have to brace ourselves for this being for at least another year, possibly up to three years, until prices and inflation come down. that target of 2% in the meantime as we keep saying, wages are nowhere near that, averaging an increase in wages of 4%. thank you, nina, with the very latest information. 7%, we havejust brought that news to you. we're joined now by the shadow chancellor, rachel reeves. your reaction to the figure just announced? your reaction to the figure 'ust nnound— your reaction to the figure 'ust nond— your reaction to the figure 'ust announced? , , , ., . announced? everybody is noticing it, the weekly food _ announced? everybody is noticing it, the weekly food shop, _ announced? everybody is noticing it, the weekly food shop, filling - announced? everybody is noticing it, the weekly food shop, filling up - announced? everybody is noticing it, the weekly food shop, filling up the l the weekly food shop, filling up the car with petrol and gas and electricity bills but the shocking thing is this number of 7% is before the energy price increases in april when everybody seal their bills go up when everybody seal their bills go up by on average £700. that isn't

even factored into this number so there is worse to come. it's why the government must do more on the cost of living crisis. labour have said repeatedly that introducing a windfall tax on the record profits being made by the north sea oil and gas companies and use that money to take money off bills for ordinary families and pensioners who are struggling with these prices. if that happened to the big completed. then —— to the big companies that would stop them investing so that would stop them investing so that would help. the would stop them investing so that would help-— would help. the chief of bp said that their company _ would help. the chief of bp said that their company has - would help. the chief of bp said that their company has more . would help. the chief of bp said - that their company has more money than they know what to do with. the former chief executive of bp is saying that a windfall tax would be justifiable in the current circumstances. why not do that? they are benefiting from the record prices while everybody else is paying the price. a one—off windfall tax to take money off people's bills now, to help people through these incredible difficult times. i was in

leeds yesterday where i am an mp, knocking on doors and one woman answered the door and she had total hands, and i asked if she was ok and she said she could not afford to have the heating on. she is getting all of the pension credit she needs but she still cannot afford the basics. ., . ., ., , but she still cannot afford the basics. ., . ., . basics. the chancellor has increased the national — basics. the chancellor has increased the national insurance _ basics. the chancellor has increased the national insurance threshold, i basics. the chancellor has increased the national insurance threshold, al the national insurance threshold, a £6 billion tax cut, why is that not enough? £6 billion tax cut, why is that not enou~h? ., ., , �* _, enough? that doesn't come in until jul and it enough? that doesn't come in until july and it doesn't _ enough? that doesn't come in until july and it doesn't help _ enough? that doesn't come in until july and it doesn't help the - enough? that doesn't come in until july and it doesn't help the pension| july and it doesn't help the pension i spoke to yesterday. but also, the measures to help with energy bills, itjust measures to help with energy bills, it just doesn't cut measures to help with energy bills, itjust doesn't cut it. this buy now pay later scheme where you get 200 off your bills in october by which time they will be even higher than they are now, and that will be repaid in the future, the difference is from our scheme, get the money in

from the oil complete and use the money to reduce bills, it's making a tangible difference to peoples living standards right now they need extra help and the chancellor has got to come and do more on this to help people get through these incredibly difficult times. brute help people get through these incredibly difficult times. we have an economy _ incredibly difficult times. we have an economy with _ incredibly difficult times. we have an economy with huge _ incredibly difficult times. we have an economy with huge problems | incredibly difficult times. we have i an economy with huge problems that need sorting out, we are dealing with a conflict in ukraine, and you are calling for the chancellor and the prime minister to resign over a few minutes in a party. a lot of stuff in the papers this morning and people get in touch saying, this is not the time for the people at the top to be quitting. the not the time for the people at the top to be quitting.— not the time for the people at the top to be quitting. the problem is that they are _ top to be quitting. the problem is that they are totally _ top to be quitting. the problem is that they are totally distracted - top to be quitting. the problem is| that they are totally distracted are not able to do theirjob because they are spending more time justifying themselves and the parties they have been going to, rather than focusing on the issues that we need them to address as a country. there was talk about parliament being recalled this week to discuss the use of chemical weapons in ukraine. i think parliament should be you called, but now the government are recoiling from that because they know if they are recalling parliament they will

be asked questions about all of these lies and the parties. the idea that we cannot change leadership now because of the war in ukraine because of the war in ukraine because of the economic crisis, i think it is the other way round. we need fresh leadership and we need leaders who can concentrate on the job in hand, which is tackling russian aggression and supporting ukraine and also here at home tackling the cost of living crisis. the government isn't doing that and we are seeing the inflation numbers, seeing more people struggle with the cost of living. we need fresh leadership, focused on the issues at hand. hf leadership, focused on the issues at hand. ., ., , leadership, focused on the issues at hand. . . , hand. if parliament is recalled, if the prime minister _ hand. if parliament is recalled, if the prime minister agreed - hand. if parliament is recalled, if the prime minister agreed to - hand. if parliament is recalled, if. the prime minister agreed to that, would labour have a vote of no confidence in the government? you have avoided that so far. idate confidence in the government? you have avoided that so far.— have avoided that so far. we are very clear _ have avoided that so far. we are very clear that _ have avoided that so far. we are very clear that the _ have avoided that so far. we are very clear that the prime - have avoided that so far. we are l very clear that the prime minister should go. but very clear that the prime minister should do. �* ., ., ., ., very clear that the prime minister should .0. �* . . . ., ., should go. but what about a vote of no confidence? _ should go. but what about a vote of no confidence? i _ should go. but what about a vote of no confidence? i would _ should go. but what about a vote of no confidence? i would be - should go. but what about a vote of no confidence? i would be fine - should go. but what about a vote of no confidence? i would be fine with| no confidence? i would be fine with that but in the — no confidence? i would be fine with that but in the end _ no confidence? i would be fine with that but in the end it _ no confidence? i would be fine with that but in the end it is _ no confidence? i would be fine with that but in the end it is up - no confidence? i would be fine with that but in the end it is up to - that but in the end it is up to conservative mps because they have got a majority of 80 so every single labour mp and other opposition mps will vote to get rid of the prime

us, he did understand, he didn't think he was above us. and he had lied and lied and lied about the lies, he had lied to parliament, he is the first prime minister who has beenin is the first prime minister who has been in the situation. and if he can't see and the chancellor can't see that their positions are untenable... shes see that their positions are untenable. . ._ see that their positions are untenable... a ., untenable... as you savour the ma'ori untenable... as you savour the majority that — untenable... as you savour the majority that they _ untenable... as you savour the majority that they have, - untenable... as you savour the majority that they have, you i untenable... as you savour the l majority that they have, you can call this —— as you say, the majority that they have, you can call for him to resign and it doesn't happen does that notjust weaken what you say? i doesn't happen does that not 'ust weaken what you say?* weaken what you say? i think you have to say _ weaken what you say? i think you have to say what _ weaken what you say? i think you have to say what is _ weaken what you say? i think you have to say what is right. - weaken what you say? i think you have to say what is right. it's - have to say what is right. it's right that the prime minister should resign because the ministerial code is clear. rishi sunak was asked about this in december and he said the ministerial code is clear on this. it is clear, if you break the law, you should resign. people are saying, what message does this send to people, especially young people that there is one rule for those at the top and the one rule for

everybody else and the people who make the rules are the ones who are fastest to break them right now. i don't think we have ever been in a position in politics like this before, i have never seen something like this in politics before where you have got a prime minister and chancellor asking people to make the biggest personal and collective sacrifices that this country has ever made outside of wartime, and yet they are not willing themselves to stick to the rules that they have made everybody else follow for good reason because those rules were about protecting ourselves and our communities and our families against terrible pandemic. those at the top don't think it applies to them. can ou don't think it applies to them. can you imagine _ don't think it applies to them. can you imagine this morning boris johnson and rishi sunak resigned, what state would we be in then? in terms of leadership... ieout what state would we be in then? in terms of leadership. . ._ terms of leadership... but what leadership? _ terms of leadership... but what leadership? we _ terms of leadership... but what leadership? we have _ terms of leadership... but what leadership? we have got - terms of leadership... but what leadership? we have got a - terms of leadership... but what leadership? we have got a cost| terms of leadership... but what i leadership? we have got a cost of living crisis... ieou leadership? we have got a cost of living crisis. . ._ living crisis... bu would have no functioning _ living crisis... bu would have no functioning government, - living crisis... bu would have no functioning government, we - living crisis... bu would have no functioning government, we are living crisis... bu would have no i functioning government, we are in the middle of an economic crisis, there is a war going on not very far away, do you want a general election?—

person i wanted to be prime minister is keir starmer. that is a choice for tory mps and they should make that choice because their constituents and the country are sick of their lies and sick of people thinking that there is one rule for them and another for the others, and that is why they should do the right thing and resign. we're joined now by our political correspondent nick eardley, who is at downing street. a busy day in politics today, can we expect further calls for the prime minister and chance had to resign? i think you will hear a lot more of what you just heard from rachel reeves over the next few days. 0pposition parties are furious about this. they will continue to say, the rules were set in that building there, and yet the two most senior politicians in the country, the prime minister and the chancellor, have been seen to break those rules.

you need to look at the tory mps in the next few weeks. at the moment there has not been a clamour of new conservative saying that they think that the prime minister needs to go, in fact we have heard some of those who are telling us back injanuary that they wanted a change of leader saying that because of the war in ukraine and the cost of living crisis, they don't think now is the right time to go through a leadership election. that said, i don't think this story is going to go away and there could be more developments which could be more damaging for borisjohnson and rishi sunak. when parliament is back from easter recess next week, i'm sure that boris johnson easter recess next week, i'm sure that borisjohnson will be accused of misleading mps and will feel more pressure over that. there could be more fines to come, there are still parties that borisjohnson was said to be at that are being investigated by the metropolitan police. and the senior civil servant sue grey who looked into all of this, there is another report from her coming and people close to that process think

it will be damaging and detailed. no sign at the moment that boris johnson and rishi sunak are going to be forced from theirjobs but no sign also that this is going away. thank you, delighted to see that larry the downing street cat has finally been let into number 10 then! president biden has for the first time used the word genocide to describe russia's invasion of ukraine. let's get more on this from our correspondent danjohnson, who's in ukraine's western city of lviv. these comments, this word being used by the us president is a significant moment in the war.— moment in the war. yes, it is a powerful _ moment in the war. yes, it is a powerful word. _ moment in the war. yes, it is a powerful word. and _ moment in the war. yes, it is a powerful word. and one - moment in the war. yes, it is a powerful word. and one which l powerful word. and one which apparently at the start it didn't feel like president biden had actually meant to say it, he was giving a speech about domestic energy prices when he used that word but he did later repeated and the white house is standing by it. i suppose we will have to see what it means in terms of response from the

us or nato, whether it makes any difference but it marks a turning point in how president biden sees what has happened in ukraine at the hands of russian forces. here's how the us presidentjustified this word. i the us president 'ustified this word. .., the us president 'ustified this word. .. the us president 'ustified this word. , , word. i called it genocide because it has become _ word. i called it genocide because it has become clearer— word. i called it genocide because it has become clearer and - word. i called it genocide because it has become clearer and clearer| it has become clearer and clearer that putin — it has become clearer and clearer that putin is trying to wipe out the idea of— that putin is trying to wipe out the idea of even being a ukrainian. and the evidence is mounting, more evidence — the evidence is mounting, more evidence is— the evidence is mounting, more evidence is coming out of literally the horrible things that the russians have done in ukraine. we know russians have done in ukraine. know already russians have done in ukraine. - know already the us is supplying more weapons to the ukrainian military, we have seen more russian hardware coming into the east of ukraine, in expectation of a bigger battle there in the donbas in the days and weeks ahead. mariupol has been the scene of intense fighting, it may be that the russians are

going to complete their takeover of that city and the local mayor there says it isn't even safe for his officials to count the bodies. he reckons 21,000 of the city's residents will have died in the russian bombardment of mariupol. dan, thank you very much indeed. three women who were groomed and raped as children by gangs of men in rochdale have had an apology from greater manchester police after a ten year battle. chief constable stephen watson said the force failed to protect them or properly investigate their abusers at the time. phil mccann reports. after dark in rochdale, and unseen by the authorities, and by theirfamilies, girls like daisy were being abused. she was 12. i had one shoe, no coat, it was freezing and the police officers picked me up and said, what's happened? i said these men had taken me in the car and asked for sex. he said, what's their names? i only know nicknames. the police didn't even take me to the police station to question me, they didn't even ask for the phone numbers,

they took me home to my dad and said, keep your daughter in. in fact, daisy found herself arrested dozens of times for being drunk and disorderly. none of her abusers were arrested. daisy, which is not her real name, spoke to us two years ago, as she launched a civil action against greater manchester police. how did all these authorities get away with it? calling a child a prostitute? people say we are suing for compensation. that's not the truth. i want the police to be held accountable for what they've done, for their failings, for their misconduct, for not being there. can you get down, please, or else i'm going to have to ask you to leave? daisy is one of three victims who have won substantial damages from the force. another had her story depicted in the bbc drama three girls, where she was called ruby. billy what? don't know. if he's your boyfriend, do you not think it's a bit strange you don't know his last name?

in their legal claim, the women argued the police breached their human rights by failing to investigate offenders, failing to record crimes, and failing to collect intelligence. we took legal action against the police force on the basis that they had failed to protect them against degrading and inhuman treatment. greater manchester's chief constable would not do interviews but in a statement he said, the force could and should have done much more. he added, we are committed to leaving no stone unturned to bring these offenders to justice, no matter the passage of time. the claims were settled before getting to court. the claim against the crown prosecution service is still ongoing. daisy said, i don't know if i believe the greater manchester police have really changed their ways, but i'm happy that they have taken into account their failings and there has finally been some accountability. that report was from phil mccann. we're joined now by the former detective maggie 0liver, who resigned from greater manchester police in 2012 and became a whistle—blower over the force's failings in the rochdale grooming scandal.

good morning, maggie 0liver. ten years on and an apology from the police, what does this moment mean for you? police, what does this moment mean foryou? for police, what does this moment mean for ou? ., , ., , , for you? for me personally, sally, it is a milestone _ for you? for me personally, sally, it is a milestone moment. - for you? for me personally, sally, | it is a milestone moment. because your report said that this action began two years ago, it didn't. it began two years ago, it didn't. it began ten years ago, it began the day i resigned from greater manchester police. actually saying precisely what is in the letters of apology now to the three girls. the first lawyers that i took the girls to actually allowed legal time limit to actually allowed legal time limit to expire and it was only through persistence and the centre for women's justice that this action has succeeded. what makes me feel... fills me with despair, really, is that it has taken ten years, ten years of my life, ten years of the three girls' lives, to get an apology that was as clear as the

nose on your face from the first day it was raised. so, it's a big day. we cannot undo the wrongs that have been done to these children. and to me, too, to be perfectly honest. but what we can do is make sure that this brings in a new era where police forces and also the crown prosecution service hold their hands up prosecution service hold their hands up and i acknowledge when they have failed. —— and they acknowledge where they have failed. the legal department of the gmb, under the remit of the two previous chief constables, completely refuse to engage, explore the failures towards these children. the crown prosecution service continue to do that to this day and say they have done nothing wrong. i believe that they have. and on the day of the apology, we also heard that rape

convictions have also fallen to an all—time low but they continue to say they have done no wrong towards these girls. we need an acknowledgement and an awareness of what they are doing to these children when they have failed them. and a willingness to say sorry, not take ten years to face up to mistakes and then we have an opportunity to draw a line under them, to learn from them, to move forward and improve. and these three girls are an imp —— example of many in the maggie 0liver foundation are still talking to today. so a big day, a milestone moment but not the end of the journey. day, a milestone moment but not the end of thejourney. you day, a milestone moment but not the end of the journey.— end of the 'ourney. you have spoken before end of the journey. you have spoken before about — end of the journey. you have spoken before about standing _ end of the journey. you have spoken before about standing up _ end of the journey. you have spoken before about standing up for - end of the journey. you have spoken before about standing up for what i before about standing up for what right, despite being publicly dismissed by the chief constable. this must have been incredibly personally tough for you. it has been really _

personally tough for you. it has been really emotional, - personally tough for you. it has been really emotional, and i been really emotional, and throughout the ten years, i have always been very careful not to talk about what gmp did to me. but the reality is that this case, this journey, almost destroyed my life. i walked away from a career that i loved because i believed that what was being done to these children was really wrong. 0n was being done to these children was really wrong. on a level that i had never seen before. i lost everything. i lost my family home, or 30 years, i didn't have an income. i wanted to really dark place. i thought i was losing my mind. and the chief constable at the time dismissed me as a woman who became too emotionally involved, who had been bereaved because her husband had died. the suggestion being that i had lost my professional ability. all untrue. and yesterday, hearing from the new chief constable that actually i was right all along, it didn't need brain of britain to know that what was done to these children and many

others was just not what the police are meant to do when they are dealing with very, very vulnerable children. so i hope that myjourney and my sacrifices have made a difference, and will really continue to make a difference throughout the country in police forces who are still failing children. the system is needed to change. we need a change of culture, we need a change of attitude. we need apologies, we need better training. we need officers who understand that these children extremely vulnerable and they are being coerced and controlled, they are not criminalised. we know that when a police officer comes across one, they question what is going on behind that incident, you don't deal with them as if they are a criminal. they are children, they need protecting, they have done nothing wrong and the police other people who should be at the forefront of that journey. who should be at the forefront of that journey-— who should be at the forefront of that journey.

that 'ourney. maggie, good to talk to that journey. maggie, good to talk to ou this that journey. maggie, good to talk to you this morning, _ that journey. maggie, good to talk to you this morning, former- to you this morning, former detective constable. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. with the opening of crossrail just weeks away the one thing that londoners will notice is the new look and feel of its stations. crossrail�*s architects say they have designed the railway, so it can cope with a growing population in the capital and move large numbers of people quickly. this is like next—generation, it's not a tube line, it's a full—sized train. so part of the approach was how do you address the difference in scale and how do you make the stations work and operate for large amounts of people, you know, high volumes of people getting on and off the trains? transport bosses say the new elizabeth line will be open by the end ofjune at the latest. passengers are being advised to avoid london euston over

the easter bank holiday because the station will be closed. network rail says its investing millions of pounds in new track but the upgrades mean no trains will leave euston from good friday to easter monday. marks and spencer's plans for a new oxford street store have edged a step closer closer. it's after the mayor sadiq khan says he won't stop the department store bulldozing one of its most famous stores and replacing it with a smaller one. m&s wants to demolish the century—old art deco building in oxford street and build a new ten—storey building that'll also house offices and a gym. detectives investigating an allegation of serious sexual assault in romford are appealing for help to identify a man they would like to speak to in connection with the attack. it happened on angel way early last month. the suspect is described as a white man aged 25 to 30.

well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. there's are sever delays on the metropolitan line and minor delays on tfl rail. 0nto the weather now with sara thornton. morning to you. a warm start this morning, temperatures typically around ten degrees. there is a bit of mist and murk at first, but also for the first half of the day today, dry with some sunshine. later, though, we will see a few showers just being sparked off by that sunshine. you can see just about any of us could see them, some places will stay dry and it will be another warm day with temperatures once more in the high teens. 0vernight tonight, it's actually going to be a little bit cooler than the nightjust gone. we've got light winds, clear skies, a bit of low cloud, mist and murk rolling into the west by first thing tomorrow morning and a chillier feel to start your day. but it is another fine day and for the coming days high pressure in control of our weather out towards the east. towards the west, there will be a few fronts trying to push in. they don't really make inroads until at least monday for us in london,

in the southeast. so we've actually got a plenty of fine weather in the forecast. and not only that, of course, the big story is the temperatures, it is going to be really warm in the coming days. by the end of the week could see 21 or 22. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom an hour. until thenjon and sally will be keeping you up to date. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. as we've been hearing this morning, the prime minister has been fined for breaking lockdown rules injune 2020 — when a gathering was held at number ten for his birthday. he has now apologised, but after allegations about parties first emerged last year, borisjohnson repeatedly denied wrongdoing. let's take a look.

mr speaker, what i can tell the right honourable gentleman is that all guidance was followed completely in number ten. i have satisfied myself the guidelines were followed completely. to the best of my knowledge we followed the rules throughout and thatis followed the rules throughout and that is what he would expect. when i went into that garden on the 20th of may 2022 thank groups of staff before going into my office 25 minutes later to continue working, i believed implicitly this was a work event. we will have to wait and see the outcome of the investigations, but of course i stick to what i said in the past. but of course i stick to what i said in the past-— in the past. boris johnson is the first serving _ in the past. boris johnson is the first serving british _ in the past. boris johnson is the first serving british prime i in the past. boris johnson is the i first serving british prime minister to be sanctioned for breaking the law. we're joined now by the transport

secretary, grant shapps. i would like to read this from amanda. herteenage i would like to read this from amanda. her teenage daughter died of cancer during the first lockdown. we stuck to the rules, with hospital visits, funeral restrictions, why couldn't the prime minister? i am not here to _ couldn't the prime minister? i am not here to say — couldn't the prime minister? i am not here to say anything - couldn't the prime minister? i —n not here to say anything other than this is deeply disappointing, it was wrong unlike your viewers, i have my own experience for four months when i couldn't see my dad, we thought we had lost him, he was in hospital. i feel the same anger when i heard about all of this. as everybody else watching your programme. i also know that the prime minister, who by the nature of being prime minister, leads a very busy life, had shared eight different meetings on that day, gone to visit a school and as a surprise some of the staff he was working with, arranged a party. it

was wrong, he apologised, accepted responsibility and paid the £50 fine and has completely overhauled number ten since then. i don't seek to justify it, but i also know it wasn't done with malice or intent, even though it should not have happened. for even though it should not have happened-— even though it should not have ha ened, ., �* ., ., ., ., , ., happened. for amanda, for many of the viewers — happened. for amanda, for many of the viewers this _ happened. for amanda, for many of the viewers this morning, _ happened. for amanda, for many of the viewers this morning, they i happened. for amanda, for many of the viewers this morning, they hear| the viewers this morning, they hear you, they heard him yesterday but thatis you, they heard him yesterday but that is not enough. she said his words about not occurring to him he was at a party. she describes it as an insult and she wants a general election, she says it is time for him to go. shes election, she says it is time for him to go— election, she says it is time for him to to. r ., ., him to go. as i say, he would have been in that _ him to go. as i say, he would have been in that room, _ him to go. as i say, he would have been in that room, we _ him to go. as i say, he would have been in that room, we know i him to go. as i say, he would have been in that room, we know he i been in that room, we know he chaired eight meetings, including covid crisis meetings and this was not long after he had been at deaths door himself through covid. shouldn't he have realised? he knew the dangers of covid, he knew what

other people might be subjected to, shouldn't he have turned around and walked out of the room? yes. shouldn't he have turned around and walked out of the room?— shouldn't he have turned around and walked out of the room? yes, i think it is rioht walked out of the room? yes, i think it is right and — walked out of the room? yes, i think it is right and i _ walked out of the room? yes, i think it is right and i have _ walked out of the room? yes, i think it is right and i have spoken - walked out of the room? yes, i think it is right and i have spoken to i walked out of the room? yes, i think it is right and i have spoken to the i it is right and i have spoken to the prime minister, he is incredibly embarrassed and he is mortified. looking at it now, he realises it is not defensible and he has played the fixed penalty notice. the question i suppose in my mind is, as individuals, none of us are perfect, no one does... we are all human. the question in my mind is, did he set out with malice to break the law? the answer, know this was a surprise event, he walked into the room for nine minutes and he accepts he should havejust nine minutes and he accepts he should have just said nine minutes and he accepts he should havejust said no, sorry and walked out again. he didn't, he has apologised and taken the £50 fine and paid that and these are events

of nearly two years ago, since when he has led us out of covid with the vaccine programme, got the economy growing faster than any other country in the world and is engaged in helping to lead the western response to putin's evil war in ukraine. ~ ., response to putin's evil war in ukraine. ~ . ., ., response to putin's evil war in ukraine. . . . ., _ ukraine. what we are all baffled by is his word yesterday, _ ukraine. what we are all baffled by is his word yesterday, his - is his word yesterday, his explanation, he said, frankly it didn't occur to me this was breaking the rules. he set the rules, we all knew the rules, we all knew we couldn't hug, we only we could let people through the door. this was the first lockdown, how could it not have occurred to him? shes i the first lockdown, how could it not have occurred to him?— have occurred to him? as i say, i don't seek— have occurred to him? as i say, i don't seek to _ have occurred to him? as i say, i don't seek to say _ have occurred to him? as i say, i don't seek to say anything i have occurred to him? as i say, i don't seek to say anything other| don't seek to say anything other thanit don't seek to say anything other than it is deeply disappointing. it should have done, in answer to your question specifically, he would have beenin question specifically, he would have been in the room with the same people that they chairing crisis meetings on the world's biggest

pandemic for over 100 years. he walked into the same room for people to wish him happy birthday and that is what breached the law. the police have rules on that and he has paid the fixed penalty notice of £50 and apologised. you cannot go back in time and you have to judge somebody, i think, for everything they do, including the good and the bad. and the good things, as i say, being the first country in the world to develop a vaccine, to vaccinate everybody, get the additional vaccination fished out, get the economy going as we come out of lockdown faster than any other country in the world. those achievements, is where he is leading the world in response to the ukraine situation. ., ., ., ., situation. you and he want to concentrate _ situation. you and he want to concentrate on _ situation. you and he want to concentrate on those - situation. you and he want to i concentrate on those achievements, but it does beg the question, what else doesn't occur to him? what

judge somebody overall for the way they perform. in other ways, including what president zelensky said about the prime minister leading the leadership role in the world this week, i think is very important as well because there are a lot of people whose lives are under threat right now, his cost of living hasjumped dramatically living has jumped dramatically because living hasjumped dramatically because of what putin has been doing in ukraine and i think the prime minister on those issues is doing incredibly well. if minister on those issues is doing incredibly well.— incredibly well. if you are angry now after one _ incredibly well. if you are angry now after one fine, _ incredibly well. if you are angry now after one fine, how - incredibly well. if you are angry now after one fine, how angry i incredibly well. if you are angry i now after one fine, how angry will you be if more follow that you or if the sue gray report comes out next week and it is as damning as some suggest, is there a red line? does it get to a point where you say, this has gone too far?- this has gone too far? without wantino this has gone too far? without wanting to _ this has gone too far? without wanting to get _ this has gone too far? without wanting to get into _ this has gone too far? without i wanting to get into hypotheticals, something the police have not ruled on yet. i do accept the approach from number ten wasn't right. i also accept, before you put it to me, the

prime minister has to be responsible for that. sometimes the prime minister was 50 miles away when some of these activities apparently took place. he has recognised during these unprecedented times we are living through that what was going on in numberten living through that what was going on in number ten in some of these cases was wrong and that is why he has reorganised to. the bottom line is, have we been the country in the world who has not only got ourselves out of covid, but also helped the rest of the world by those billions of doses of oxford astrazeneca, invented here with the support of the government, enabling us to get on and... ., . . , on and... the vaccine thing is the default argument _ on and... the vaccine thing is the default argument every _ on and... the vaccine thing is the default argument every time i on and... the vaccine thing is the l default argument every time there on and... the vaccine thing is the i default argument every time there is a headline about this. i default argument every time there is a headline about this.— a headline about this. i would argue thins a headline about this. i would argue things about — a headline about this. i would argue things about the _ a headline about this. i would argue things about the economic- a headline about this. i would argue things about the economic growth. l a headline about this. i would argue j things about the economic growth. i am sure you would, but this morning

don't rule out doing anything else but these things are directed. what is going on in ukraine is pushing up inflation here through things like energy and transport costs. we see that as a direct response. it is one of the reasons why putin cannot be allowed to win, it is having an impact on our cost of living here in the uk and one of the reasons why, in this particular instance, when it comes to that situation in ukraine, the prime minister is doing all the right things and is internationally recognised doing so, in particular by president zelensky in ukraine. ii by president zelensky in ukraine. if inflation is higher than we expected, can the government go further than it intended or expected to help out families? the government will alwa s to help out families? the government will always look _ to help out families? the government will always look at _ to help out families? the government will always look at what _ to help out families? the government will always look at what more - to help out families? the government will always look at what more it i to help out families? the government will always look at what more it can i will always look at what more it can do and, as i say, over £9 billion for energy, £22 billion for energy costs overall in support for

watering prices of petrol at the pump in march, you heard it there from grant shapps, partly because of the stop start global economy putting pressure on energy prices and also the war in ukraine. march was the first month that took in the impact of that. we broke the news to you yesterday that your wages are not keeping pace with inflation, on average, wages are going up by approximately li%. although it is a lot lower if you work in the public sector. so implication for businesses, for wholesalers, either at home, is massive. let's speak to florence who works for the food foundation. what business are saying to you and what a family saying to you about these increases in food costs. , , �* , ., you about these increases in food costs. ., . costs. this isn't 'ust an economic crisis, it costs. this isn't 'ust an economic it is— costs. this isn't 'ust an economic it is a — costs. this isn'tjust an economic crisis, it is a health _ costs. this isn'tjust an economic crisis, it is a health crisis. - costs. this isn'tjust an economic crisis, it is a health crisis. these| crisis, it is a health crisis. these fluctuations have fluctuation in the millions of businesses which are part of the food system but the cost of food plays out in the health of the population and for millions of

benchmarking benefits against inflation, inflation is sitting at 7%, benefits have only gone up by 3.1%. we could look at expanding the free school meal scheme and healthy start vouchers for families. we cannot underestimate the importance of childhood nutrition to give children the building blocks they need to be healthy, happy humans. there are things the government need to do, we have gone from shock to shock, brexit, the pandemic and the conflict in ukraine. those shocks will continue, climate change on weather events and the food system is contributing to climate change. what we need the government to do is deliver an ambitious strategy, a food bill in response to the national food strategy, both short—term and long—term actions, create a resilient food system and one that is not contributing. lots of different _ one that is not contributing. lots of different thoughts, but grant shapps saying earlier, putting a lot

on the conflict in ukraine and that is where the government focus needs to be. tesco had their results of this morning and their profits are at £2.8 million and they say they are doing everything they can to reduce prices, because they recognise consumers are struggling. but some would argue it is up to them to lead the way and bring down prices. the bank of england said inflation will be higher than 8% in the coming months we need to recognise it is here for the long term. thank you so much. go and have an apple! bring us one back. time for sport, hello holly. it wasn't to be for chelsea. the reigning champoions were knocked out by real madrid in a nail biter of a quarterfinal second leg.. of a quarterfinal second leg.

real were 3—1 up after the first leg at stamford bridge last week, but this mason mount goal, early in the first half, gave chelsea hope. antonio rudiger made it two before an excellent goal from timo werner put chelsea ahead on aggregate, and on the verge of the semi—finals. but rodrygo equalised for real to take the tie to extra—time, and then that man, karim benzema scored the winner — it finished 5—4 to real madrid on aggregate. we were unlucky, that's why we are disappointed. we got beaten by pure individual quality and conversion. effective conversion of our mistakes. unfortunately we had two mistakes off the ball, the most crucial moments in games against real madrid. so in the end we were unlucky. a record crowd for a women's match in northern ireland saw england all but assure their world cup qualification after a comprehensive 5—0 win over the hosts.

at a packed windsor park in belfast it was lauren hemp who scored the opener, her first of two on the evening which came either side of an ella toone goal. and late on georgia stanway picked up a double as well, this her second just over ten minutes from time, england now have now scored 68 goals and conceded none in eight qualification games while northern ireland's hopes of a first world cup finals are over. scotland were beaten 2—0 by spain at hampden park. jennifer hermoso scored in each half to seal top spot in group b for the visitors while scotland remain second, in a play—off position, with two games remaining. a better night fot wales, who took a big step towards finishing second in their group, and securing a qualifying play—off place. they beat kazakhstan 3—0, natasha harding among the goal scorers as she earned her

100th international cap. huge night for her and we have more champions league action tonight. can we handle any more? i don't think juergen klopp can. i think he is fine, he will handle it. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning, i'm going to start by looking at the easter weekend weather. it will be vaughan, mainly dry although we could see some fronts coming into the north and west, especially on sunday. we will see some rain and that will freshen conditions and they will be over night mist and fog which along the west coast and english channel coast, parts of, cuddling into the daytime as well. what we have at the moment are a few showers, a lot of cloud and some rain. moving north eastwards across the north—east of scotland and that will push off into the northern isles as we go through

the northern isles as we go through the day. there will be a hang back of cloud. it won't feel as cold along the north sea coastline of either skin england or scotland today. sunny skies developing across northern ireland. there will be showers, forming lines from wales, through the north midlands towards lincolnshire. another one from south—west england through the south midlands into east anglia. those ones could be heavy and thundery, but in between there will be some sunshine to look forward to with temperatures ranging from seven in lerwick to 19 in london. this evening and overnight, clear skies, low cloud mist and fog lapping on show and the south, drifting on land and rain arriving in the west of northern ireland by the end of colder night than the one just gone. if you are interested in the northern lights, there is a chance in northern scotland by the end of the night we could see them. tomorrow, we have a low cloud, mist and fog on the coast. some of it

will break and there will be some sunshine around and it will feel pleasantly warm. we will have rain coming in across western scotland and northern ireland with highs up to 19. thank you, carol you will enjoy this one. if you grew up in the '60s, you'll probably recognise this. three, two, one. thunderbirds are go. stingray theme tune. it's of course the opening credits to thunderbirds. this weekend, music from thunderbirds and other classic tv shows created by gerry anderson, including stingray and captain scarlet, will be performed by a live orchestra in birmingham. phil mackie has more. stand by for action! remember this? we are about to launch stingray. if you do, i bet you are about to start singing along.

# stingray, stingray! the classic shows were scored by barry gray and created by gerry anderson, seen here with two of his most famous characters. parker has been having a little bit to drink recently. gerry's son is jamie anderson. he's brought some of his late father's model is jamie anderson. father's models to symphony hall ahead of the concert. just the thought that in a few days' time this place is going to be filled with over 1000 fans of anderson productions and they're just going to relive six decades of anderson themes all in one night. i mean, i'm equally nervous and excited at the moment. the orchestra won't be able to rehearse together until saturday, so they are learning their parts alone. richard harvey composed this theme to the 80s show terrorhawks, and in his studio in south london,

he is preparing for the concert which he will conduct. i think music is absolutely pivotal. he was basically giving the world a puppet show, but barry gray's music turned it into a big—screen thing. if it had been puppet show scale music, the whole thing would have failed. music is such an integral part of it. he's not wrong. the classic themes composed by barry gray in the 60s are unforgettable. i think it's going to be a very special thing personally, and rather selfishly, to hear all that stuff. because obviously i'm a very proud son, knowing all that stuff was achieved by one man and that one man was my dad. to have it all performed on one night and having all these people coming to enjoy it will make it very special indeed. what are you particularly looking forward to, and what has it been

like coming back to it? oh, just looking through the scores here, reading it allagain, prepping for the show, it brought it all back. it's just been fantastic. and when the baton comes down on the thunderbirds march, you know, every little hair on the back of my neck will be standing up. it just carries the best memories for me. so f—a—b, spectrum is green, and stand by for action. phil mackie, bbc news, birmingham. he do love that, don't you? yes, i have got the suit and everything. stay with us, headlines coming up.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. 0ur headlines today. borisjohnson and the chancellor rishi sunak resist calls to resign after being fined for breaking lockdown rules. i accept in all sincerity that people have the right to expect better, and now i feel an even greater sense of obligation to deliver on the priorities of the british people. inflation hit 7%, taking it to a 30 year high, driven by the increase in energy prices. i'm in birmingham asking traders what it means to them and do you attain because the price rises have stopped here. —— have not stopped here. us presidentjoe biden describes russia's operation in ukraine as genocide.

he says vladamir putin is trying to wipe out the idea of being ukrainian. we catch up with martin hibbert, who was paralysed in the manchester arena attack, as he prepares to climb mount kilimanjaro. it's a mild start to the day once again today, rain moving north—east across scotland, but for most of us it is a fairly cloudy start but the cloud within an breaker, we will see some sunshine and some showers. —— the cloud will thin and break. it's wednesday the 13th april. the prime minister and the chancellor are resisting calls to resign after they were fined, along with borisjohnson's wife carrie, for breaking covid lockdown rules. all three apologised after they received fixed penalty notices from police over a gathering held for borisjohnson's birthday, in downing street injune 2020. opposition leaders have accused mrjohnson and rishi sunak of lying to the public after they both previously denied any wrongdoing. 0ur political correspondent, jonathan blake, reports.

the two men at the heart of government but now found to have broken the lockdown laws they set, designed to keep people safe during the pandemic. # happy birthday to you # june 2020, and borisjohnson visited a school on his birthday, which was allowed under the rules in place at the time. but later, he attended a gathering in the cabinet room of number 10, which police have decided broke the rules. rules which the prime minister has previously denied had been broken. i have been repeatedly assured since these allegations emerged that there was no party, and that... and that no covid rules were broken and that is what i have been repeatedly assured. yesterday, though, he accepted the police findings and offered an apology. 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 an even greater sense of obligation to deliver on the priorities of the british people. the chancellor, also fined for his attendance at the cabinet room gathering, was asked earlier this year what he knew of any events that may have broken the rules. for the record, chancellor, you knew of nothing of any of these gatherings, even one that happened outside that window? people think i'm standing out here looking outside that window. i spent half my time in the treasury as well as working here. but what i was focused on at that time, as were many people was making sure that we could help the country through a period of enormous anxiety and it was incredibly busy. in a statement yesterday, he offered an unreserved apology, saying...

for those who followed the rules and lost loved ones to covid, apologies are not enough. this man, a man of honour, voted for you, and i actually believe you let him down. you let me down. i was really angry, but also very upset that he would think that that was ok. you see, you got to survive, boris, my husband didn't. and it smacks to me as somebody who really thinks he's above everybody else. and i didn't think that is who he was. the police investigation into parties in whitehall continues, meaning there could be more fines for government figures to come. and the civil servant sue grey's report is yet to be published in full. so the prime minister and the chancellor have survived a difficult day but the partygate

saga is unlikely to be over. jonathan blake, bbc news. as we've been hearing this morning, inflation rose by 7% in the 12 months to march. nina's at a market in birmingham to tell us more. good morning. 7% inflation reached for the month of march, that has not come as a surprise to traders here, many of them saying they are absorbing ten or 15% more for many of their products being imported. the predictions were that inflation would be at 6.7%, it had been at 6.2% for the month before that, and 5.5%, so the upwards trajectory continuing quite dramatically. what it means is that the expectation it

will go up again beyond the 30 year high that we see at the moment. in amongst the details we see it is driven fundamentally by energy prices, the stop start of the global economy putting the pressure on that keeps building and growing. you will have noticed pressure at the pumps backin have noticed pressure at the pumps back in march going higher, the petrol price going up. and that trickles down to every element of the economic system when fuel prices go up. your wages are simply not keeping pace, we are on average earning li% more at the moment then we were a year before but if you are in a public sector, it is a lot lower than that. your money is not going as far because of the increase in prices. what happens now, how long do we need to shut ourselves with this? the bank of england saying that inflation go beyond 8% in the coming weeks, they will use interest rate in order bring inflation down, the more they

increase interest rates theoretically the less we spend and it doesn't always work quickly and fall into place and they think it will be around three years before they can get back to their target of 2% inflation. so what it will mean for us, all consumers, for some, 2% inflation. so what it will mean for us, all consumers, forsome, it will be a reduction in the number of luxuries. for others, it will be a tightening of the belt. but they are the lucky ones. for some families watch, things are about to get a lot more serious. —— some families watching. we're joined by the leader of the liberal democrats, sir ed davey, who has called for borisjohnson to resign. good morning. thank you for coming in to talk to us. i want to stick with what nina was talking about, the cost of living crisis, war in ukraine, is this really the moment for people to be calling for boris johnson to resign? it is for people to be calling for boris johnson to resign?— for people to be calling for boris johnson to resign? it is because i think people _ johnson to resign? it is because i think people have _ johnson to resign? it is because i think people have lost _ johnson to resign? it is because i think people have lost trust - johnson to resign? it is because i think people have lost trust in . johnson to resign? it is because i | think people have lost trust in the prime minister. when you have a domestic crisis with the cost of living emergency, when you have the ukrainian war, everyone needs a

leader that they can trust. and with boris johnson's leader that they can trust. and with borisjohnson's actions, his failure to tackle the cost of living emergency, and breaking the law, lying to parliament, he's lost the trust of people and it actually would help us deal with these crises if he went. , , ., , if he went. this is not the first time we have _ if he went. this is not the first time we have had _ if he went. this is not the first time we have had to _ if he went. this is not the first time we have had to these - time we have had to these conversations. i can remember talking to you and you saying this previously calling for borisjohnson to resign, it didn't work before, why should it work now? if he to resign, it didn't work before, why should it work now? if he had any decency. _ why should it work now? if he had any decency. now _ why should it work now? if he had any decency, now he _ why should it work now? if he had any decency, now he is _ why should it work now? if he had any decency, now he is the - why should it work now? if he had any decency, now he is the first i any decency, now he is the first prime minister in the whole history of our great country to be found to have broken the law, if he had decency, he would go. if he isn't prepared to go, it looks like he's going to try and cling on, it's the constitutional unpatriotic duty of conservative mps to tell him to go —— the constitutional and patriotically duty to tell him to go. i'm sad and disappointed that conservative mps do not understand their duty to our country, and that is why we will try to put pressure

on from the liberal democrats perspective with opposition parties and conservative mps who do understand their duty, to try to put pressure on our prime minister. i'm really worried about millions of families and pensioners out there who are really hurting now, they cannot decide whether they can afford to put their heating on, really going without food. this is a crisis for our country, and i don't think we have the leadership to tackle it. �* ., ., ., . ., tackle it. but do we want to change the leadership _ tackle it. but do we want to change the leadership in _ tackle it. but do we want to change the leadership in the _ tackle it. but do we want to change the leadership in the middle - tackle it. but do we want to change the leadership in the middle of- tackle it. but do we want to change the leadership in the middle of a i the leadership in the middle of a crisis? ! the leadership in the middle of a crisis? ., the leadership in the middle of a crisis? ~ ,., , the leadership in the middle of a crisis? ~ , , ., ., crisis? i think sometimes you do. i have made — crisis? i think sometimes you do. i have made the _ crisis? i think sometimes you do. i have made the point _ crisis? i think sometimes you do. i have made the point about - crisis? i think sometimes you do. i | have made the point about needing crisis? i think sometimes you do. i. have made the point about needing to have made the point about needing to have trust in leadership... ! was have trust in leadership... i was imagining. _ have trust in leadership... i was imagining. as — have trust in leadership... i was imagining. as i _ have trust in leadership... i was imagining, as i said _ have trust in leadership... i was imagining, as i said to - have trust in leadership... i was imagining, as i said to rachel. imagining, as i said to rachel reeves an hour ago from the labour party, if we lost our prime minister and chancellor at the same time in the middle of all of the economic chaos and the geopolitics going on at the moment, what then, where does that leave us as a country? lets take ukraine _ that leave us as a country? lets take ukraine to _ that leave us as a country? lets take ukraine to start _ that leave us as a country? lets take ukraine to start off- that leave us as a country? lats take ukraine to start off with. there is cross—party support for supporting president zelensky and

the ukrainian army. borisjohnson hasn't had to argue for that, everyone in parliament has backed that and the liberal democrats would like to go further in fact. another aspect in ukraine the prime minister has been weak. we should have been sanctioning the oligarchs, putin and 7 sanctioning the oligarchs, putin and ? rays, the dirty russian money, far faster and tougher and conservatives and boisterous and have failed on that. and then i think about the refugees, i went and spoke to refugees, i went and spoke to refugee families in poland a few weeks ago, mothers and families with kids, they are traumatised and exhausted. many other countries in europe have said you don't need visas, come to our country and we will look after you. only boris johnson, priti pateland will look after you. only boris johnson, priti patel and the conservatives who are putting paperwork in the way of helping mothers and children and i think thatis mothers and children and i think that is a disgrace. i think new leadership could be true to the compassion and generosity of british

just on this but on so many other things, i think it is wrong that he is in thisjob. he is not decent to lead our country. is in this job. he is not decent to lead our country.— is in this job. he is not decent to lead our country. talking to us this mornin: , lead our country. talking to us this morning. you _ lead our country. talking to us this morning, you have _ lead our country. talking to us this morning, you have been _ lead our country. talking to us this morning, you have been on - lead our country. talking to us this morning, you have been on other. morning, you have been on other radio stations, the people you are talking to our conservative mps. what is your message to any tory mp who is wavering in their support of borisjohnson? who is wavering in their support of boris johnson?— who is wavering in their support of boris johnson? they should sign the letter. it's not _ boris johnson? they should sign the letter. it's notjust _ boris johnson? they should sign the letter. it's notjust conservative - letter. it's notjust conservative mps, it is voters out there. in a few weeks' time, many people in the country will have a chance to cast a vote. they will cut it for many reasons, and local issues, i would argue if you elect a local deborah —— liberal democrat local councillor you will get a fair deal for your local community but many people vote as a judgment on the government. i think there are lifelong conservatives out there who are fed up conservatives out there who are fed up on this. when we were containing

before christmas in north shropshire during partygate, a seat that conservatives held to 200 years, lifelong conservatives are said to us they would never vote conservatives again, and they said that even before partygate. they were worried about the failures in the nhs and long waiting times for ambulances and they felt that the conservative party they always supported were taking their vote for granted so in may people can have their verdict. but granted so in may people can have their verdict.— their verdict. but as things stand where we are — their verdict. but as things stand where we are this _ their verdict. but as things stand where we are this morning, - their verdict. but as things stand where we are this morning, you | their verdict. but as things stand - where we are this morning, you know borisjohnson isn't going anywhere. he is safer than it was a couple of months ago, despite the fine. it's the easter recess in parliament so mps cannot gather and gossip in the corridors, and he has been helped by the war in ukraine and his relationship with president zelensky. he is staying in pau. and zelensky. he is staying in pau. and he is bringing _ zelensky. he is staying in pau. jifuc he is bringing the political system —— he is staying in a post. and he is bringing the political system to distribute by staying. i have had

people who would have loved to have just spent five minutes holding the hand of their loved one when they died of covid and they were told they couldn't, so they kept to the rules. the prime minister saying, it was only five minutes with his mates having a birthday cake, i'm sorry, thatis having a birthday cake, i'm sorry, that is just not acceptable. people are angry about that and they are right to be angry. they were not able to hold the hand of their dying brother, mother, sister, husband, they sacrificed so much. and our prime ministerjust doesn't get it. thank you very much for coming in, we have to leave it there. we're joined now by our political correspondent nick eardley, who is at downing street. are we going to hear more calls like this for the prime minister and chancellor to resign today? i this for the prime minister and chancellor to resign today? i think we will, chancellor to resign today? i think we will. sadly. _ chancellor to resign today? i think we will, sadly, certainly _ chancellor to resign today? i think we will, sadly, certainly from - we will, sadly, certainly from opposition parties. the big thing to watch out for is what you were just talking about, whether more conservative mps put their heads above the parapet and say that they think borisjohnson should go. i

have got to say, speaking to some of his critics, some of those who are really concerned about these party stories when they emerged earlier in the year, they are not saying that just yet. they are holding fire just now to see what happens over the next few days. we had from the transport secretary grant shapps on the programme about an hour ago, he thinks the prime minister is mortified but ultimately that he is human and he has made a mistake. and people should now move on. i think we will continue to hear that argument from the government as well. this isn't going away, though, there is a few things still to come. the parliament comes back next week and that i minister will face accusations that he has misled mps, then there might be more fines, and then there might be more fines, and the report from the civil servant sue grey. although the prime minister and chancellor do not seem to be under immediate threat in

terms of theirjobs at the moment, this isn't going away. president biden has, for the first time, used the word genocide to describe russia's invasion of ukraine. let's get more on this from our correspondent danjohnson, who's in ukraine's western city of lviv. this feels like a significant moment. this feels like a significant moment-— this feels like a significant moment. , ., , , ,, . this feels like a significant moment. , , ., moment. yes, absolutely. such a owerful moment. yes, absolutely. such a powerful word. — moment. yes, absolutely. such a powerful word, such _ moment. yes, absolutely. such a powerful word, such a _ moment. yes, absolutely. such a powerful word, such a loaded - moment. yes, absolutely. such a i powerful word, such a loaded term. and it felt at first like joe biden may have used it off the cuff, he was giving a speech about fuel prices when he said this but asked again later, he repeated it, the white house has stood by it and released a transcript. and here is whatjoe biden said in terms of explaining why he thought that word genocide was justified. ! explaining why he thought that word genocide was justified.— genocide was 'ustified. i called it aenocide genocide wasjustified. i called it genocide because _ genocide wasjustified. i called it genocide because it _ genocide wasjustified. i called it genocide because it has - genocide wasjustified. i called it genocide because it has become| genocide because it has become clearer— genocide because it has become clearer and clearer that putin is 'ust clearer and clearer that putin is just trying — clearer and clearer that putin is just trying to wipe out the idea of even _ just trying to wipe out the idea of even being a ukrainian. and the evidence — even being a ukrainian. and the evidence is_ even being a ukrainian. and the evidence is mounting, more evidence

have been warned to expect. thank you for now- _ garry newlove died in 2007 when he was kicked in the head during an attack near his home in warrington, after he confronted a gang who were vandalising his wife's car. adam swellings was jailed for life, along with two other members of the gang who were found guilty of murder. but now the parole board has recommended that swellings, who will serve a 17 year minimum sentence, should be moved to an open prison. we're joined by garry's widow, baroness helen newlove who has been campaigning for victims of crime and theirfamilies to have more rights. good money, lovely to see you. your reaction to this latest development and how this news has affected you? i have always been prepared for this and the system in the roles i have done does not fit around victims. so being able to see another at come from the parole board which i think, they are not fit for purpose. it is shocking to see the words in the summary. it's likejustification

is playing both with our families and also the communities within warrington. because it doesn't give confidence within our criminal justice system. i confidence within our criminal justice system.— confidence within our criminal justice system. i don't want to minimise _ justice system. i don't want to minimise what _ justice system. i don't want to minimise what happened - justice system. i don't want to minimise what happened to i justice system. i don't want to i minimise what happened to garry justice system. i don't want to - minimise what happened to garry or any other victim at all. but there will be people watching this morning who say, there still has to be an opportunity for people in prison to improve, to be rehabilitated. to get back to normal soon, to be rewarded if they make progress. what do you say to that? i if they make progress. what do you say to that?— say to that? i hear that a lot. peo - le say to that? i hear that a lot. people say. _ say to that? i hear that a lot. people say, move _ say to that? i hear that a lot. people say, move on, - say to that? i hear that a lot. . people say, move on, whatever. say to that? i hear that a lot. - people say, move on, whatever. i'm not sa inc people say, move on, whatever. i'm not saying move on. i _ people say, move on, whatever. i'm not saying move on. i know - people say, move on, whatever. i'm not saying move on. i know you - people say, move on, whatever. i'm not saying move on. i know you are | not saying move on. i know you are not saying move on. i know you are not saying — not saying move on. i know you are not saying it _ not saying move on. i know you are not saying it but — not saying move on. i know you are not saying it but that's _ not saying move on. i know you are not saying it but that's what - not saying move on. i know you are not saying it but that's what is - not saying move on. i know you are not saying it but that's what is the i not saying it but that's what is the interpretation is. yes, you have got to give him a second chance. i'm sorry, this is murder, not shoplifting. you are seeing it with rape victims there, they are not even given the comfort by lease offices, have a go so blase about

don't think he should at the moment, we have got a mess with ukraine and human lives who need support. i think everybody is fed up with politics, i don't think there are any policies from the other side, let's look at that. it's about having some calm, he will face the storm, that they will come. it's far better to be proactive rather than reactive because too many lives need to be supported with ukraine and we need to give those families who are quite rightly really sad and emotional, crying, like we have seen, have their say. at the moment it's all about politics. let's get those families in front of the prime minister and have their say and then make a huge decision to see whether he stays or goes. make a huge decision to see whether he stays or goes-— he stays or goes. when you read about what _ he stays or goes. when you read about what happens _ he stays or goes. when you read about what happens with - he stays or goes. when you read about what happens with the - he stays or goes. when you read - about what happens with the parties during lockdown, how does that make you feel about the culture in downing street and in politics, and what might have been going through their minds at the time?— their minds at the time? madness, wh do their minds at the time? madness, why do you — their minds at the time? madness, why do you think— their minds at the time? madness, why do you think you _ their minds at the time? madness, why do you think you are _ their minds at the time? madness, why do you think you are better - their minds at the time? madness, i why do you think you are better than anybody else? we are all sat around watching the tv would borisjohnson

passengers are being advised to avoid london euston over the easter bank holiday because the station will be closed. network rail says its investing millions of pounds in new track but the upgrades mean no trains will leave euston from good friday to easter monday. three pedicab drivers have been fined over £1,200 for playing loud music through west end. westmisnter council says it wants to crackdown on noise, traffic and disturbance caused by the vehicles. the fines issued were more than double the value of previous ones given out for similar offences earlier this year. detectives investigating an allegation of serious sexual assault in romford are appealing for help to identify a man they would like to speak to in connection with the attack. it happened on angel way early last month. the suspect is described as a white man aged 25 to 30.

well if you're heading out on public transport this morning , this is how tfl services are looking right now. onto the weather now with sara thornton. morning to you. a warm start this morning, temperatures typically around ten degrees. there is a bit of mist and murk at first, but also for the first half of the day today, dry with some sunshine. later, though, we will see a few showers just being sparked off by that sunshine. you can see just about any of us could see them, some places will stay dry and it will be another warm day with temperatures once more in the high teens. overnight tonight, it's actually going to be a little bit cooler than the nightjust gone. we've got light winds, clear skies, a bit of low cloud, mist and murk rolling into the west by first thing tomorrow morning and a chillier feel to start your day. but it is another fine day and for the coming days high pressure in control of our weather out towards the east. towards the west, there will be a few fronts trying to push in. they don't really make

inroads until at least monday for us in london, in the southeast. so we've actually got a plenty of fine weather in the forecast. and not only that, of course, the big story is the temperatures, it is going to be really warm in the coming days. by the end of the week could see 21 or 22. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom an half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. until thenjon and sally will be keeping you up to date. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. let's return to the news that borisjohnson and rishi sunak were fined by police for breaking covid lockdown rules. joining us are conservative political commentator tim montgomerie, who is in our london newsroom, and the financial times' whitehall editor seb payne, who's on downing street. good morning to both of you. should

we take a temperature check and work out where we are this morning, the morning after the night before? how safe is the prime minister right now, his position? it safe is the prime minister right now, his position?— safe is the prime minister right now, his position? it seems that he is re now, his position? it seems that he is pretty secure. — now, his position? it seems that he is pretty secure, if— now, his position? it seems that he is pretty secure, if you _ now, his position? it seems that he is pretty secure, if you look - now, his position? it seems that he is pretty secure, if you look at - now, his position? it seems that he is pretty secure, if you look at the l is pretty secure, if you look at the response from conservative mps and the cabinet, they have taken the line that now would not be the right time to change the prime minister. if this had happened six weeks ago or a couple of months ago, the mood would be very different. russia's invasion of ukraine has totally changed the calculation. grant shapps, the transport secretary has been doing the broadcast rounds this morning and he has been full of contrition and an apology and he said the prime minister is very sorry for how it turned out. but the mood here is borisjohnson is safe and rishi sunak, he was also fine, he is safe. is there any more? what comes next? but this immediate moment, even though borisjohnson is

rishi sunak until past eight o'clock yesterday evening. the sense in westminster is a rishi sunak was carefully considering his options. there have been reports there was a wobble in number 11 and the chancellor was wondering should he resign? conservative mps said to him, take a moralstand, if you resign? conservative mps said to him, take a moral stand, if you have misled parliament and lied in office, you should resign on a moral principle. another said, office, you should resign on a moral principle. anothersaid, if office, you should resign on a moral principle. another said, if he resign, you could risk bringing the whole government down. if we think back to examples in the past of ministers who have resigned over a point of principle to affect the prime minister, it doesn't turn out well for them. prime minister, it doesn't turn out well forthem. michael prime minister, it doesn't turn out well for them. michael heseltine, when he resign to bring down margaret thatcher, it didn't bring her down and he didn't become prime minister. but in an odd way, the fact that borisjohnson and rishi sunak have been fine, has bound them together. there has been some bad

blood between number ten in number 11 over the chancellor's tax status and affairs. the fact that the chancellor is staying there means he is bound to borisjohnson or whatever this partygate scandal goes next for the prime minister, the chancellor is in it with him all the way. chancellor is in it with him all the wa . chancellor is in it with him all the wa , ., ., ., chancellor is in it with him all the wa . . ., ., ., , .,~ chancellor is in it with him all the wa. . ., ., ., , ., way. tim, parliament on a break at the moment. _ way. tim, parliament on a break at the moment, so _ way. tim, parliament on a break at the moment, so not— way. tim, parliament on a break at the moment, so not so _ way. tim, parliament on a break at the moment, so not so much - way. tim, parliament on a break at. the moment, so not so much chance for mps to plot and gossip, how much will that be helping the prime minister? ~ , , , ., ., minister? westminster is always a few bile atmosphere _ minister? westminster is always a few bile atmosphere and - minister? westminster is always a few bile atmosphere and it - minister? westminster is always a few bile atmosphere and it would l few bile atmosphere and it would have been a few bile if parliament was meeting now. as you suggested, the metropolitan police have not finished — the metropolitan police have not finished their potential round of fines _ finished their potential round of fines the — finished their potential round of fines. the prime minister might be fined _ fines. the prime minister might be fined again, he might be fined more than once _ fined again, he might be fined more than once. do you remember the grey report— than once. do you remember the grey report by— than once. do you remember the grey report by the — than once. do you remember the grey report by the senior civil servant? 0h, report by the senior civil servant? oh. yes! — report by the senior civil servant? 0h. yes! it— report by the senior civil servant? 0h, es! ., , ., report by the senior civil servant? 0h, es! ., ., ., . oh, yes! it was long awaited. when it eventually —

lot of people have made up their mind about the story before the fines came yesterday. when you look at the series of things boris johnson has said in public and to the house of commons and partygate, they stress credulity. that situation, if it continues, is very likely. from thursday, the campaigning for the local elections begin so the report is unlikely to come out until after that. there could be more fines continuing over the weeks into the local elections. even have to think at the moment, given where the polls and the backdrop of the story, those elections will not be good for the conservatives. then the report comes out and that is possibly the final crunch moment for borisjohnson. he is a very lucky general in this situation. if we recall when the

partygate came out in february, if the fines came out then, he could have been in trouble and you would have been in trouble and you would have seen cabinet resignations. but the pressure has gone out of the atmosphere, we have the ukraine war, the cost of living crisis and the focus of most people is elsewhere. in that sense, he is quite lucky but he is not out of the woods yet and this thing will continue right into the summer. this thing will continue right into the summer-— this thing will continue right into the summer. , , ., ., ., ,, the summer. this is not over, thank ou both the summer. this is not over, thank you both very _ the summer. this is not over, thank you both very much _ the summer. this is not over, thank you both very much for— the summer. this is not over, thank you both very much forjoining - the summer. this is not over, thank you both very much forjoining us i you both very much forjoining us this morning. talking about the cost of living crisis and that is the other big story this morning, isn't it? as we've been hearing this morning, inflation rose to 7% in the 12 months to march. nina's at a market in birmingham to tell us more. good morning and welcome to birmingham wholesale market. i have been speaking with lots of traders this morning. i saw one man this morning and he saw my card which said cost of living and he put his head in his hands. he said it cannot take it any more, prices are

going high. stock is imported from all over the world and the prices we are seeing globally, the people here have to absorb and then the cost is passed onto us. this is the king of ginger and garlic, passed onto us. this is the king of gingerand garlic, if passed onto us. this is the king of ginger and garlic, if you don't mind, where are you seeing going up? sorry? mind, where are you seeing going up? sor ? ~ ., , ., mind, where are you seeing going up? sor ? ~ . , ., , mind, where are you seeing going up? sor? ., sorry? where are you seeing prices auoin u? sorry? where are you seeing prices going up? you _ sorry? where are you seeing prices going up? you are _ sorry? where are you seeing prices going up? you are telling _ sorry? where are you seeing prices going up? you are telling me - sorry? where are you seeing prices going up? you are telling me with i going up? you are telling me with ginger and garlic starting to go up? yes, after the climate problems around the world at the moment, and there is a few other things, people taking advantage of the situation in ukraine. and there is a shortage because of the transport problem since we left the european union. so there is custom clearance taking

fundamentally by petrol prices, you don't need me to remind you how much more fuel is costing in march and wages are not keeping pace. on average we are paid around 4% more, just 2.1% more if you work in the public sector. that that actuates the economic fallout, we have less to spend and the economy is less stimulated. what are the solutions, let's talk to carl, an economist. what can be done from here? historically, inflation, the task of getting that under control lies with the bank of england. they have started acting already, they have raised their interest rate three times in a row to stand at 1%. sorry, 0.75%. next month when we look at the next meeting of the bank of england, they will rise that further to 1%.— of england, they will rise that further to 1%. , , , , further to 1%. pressure is building on the government _ further to 1%. pressure is building on the government to _ further to 1%. pressure is building on the government to do - further to 1%. pressure is building on the government to do more? i further to 1%. pressure is building i on the government to do more? the on the government to do more? tue: responsibility does usually light with the bank of england, but that is best suited when we are looking

at the economy doing well, overheating and they can slow it down by bringing inflation down to normal levels. what we are seeing now is energy prices going wild. the bank of england's actions might take a little bit too long in order to get this under control in the short term. the government has already looked at some policies, reducing, giving a council tax rebate and other mentions... giving a council tax rebate and other mentions. . ._ giving a council tax rebate and other mentions... , , ,., ., , other mentions... fuel support as we ointed to other mentions... fuel support as we pointed to earlier. _ other mentions... fuel support as we pointed to earlier. as _ other mentions... fuel support as we pointed to earlier. as he _ other mentions... fuel support as we pointed to earlier. as he was - pointed to earlier. as he was acclaiming, for those measures to have an impact from the bank of england, it took eight —— it could take up to three years. the current inflation figures don't take in the big energy cost rise we saw at the beginning of april, no the full extent of the war in ukraine. wherever i am standing in the month, whatever i am wearing in a month, to bring you the latest inflation

figures, we can predict they will have gone higher than 7%. thank you very much for explaining that to us. really busy here, lots of economics and it is explained in reality for all of us. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. if you have an allergy to tree pollen, levels are high today across england and wales. cloudy with rain drifting northwards and eastwards across scotland and through the day he will find this cloud continuing to break, sunny spells developing and showers. some of those through wales, the midlands towards lincolnshire, the south—west of england, through the south midlands and east anglia, could be heavy and thundery. not as school along the north sea coastline as it was yesterday, because we have an

offshore breeze. temperatures, seven in lerwick, 18 in london. overnight, clear skies and low cloud, mist and fog letting on show in the west and the south and some of that will push in land as the south and some of that will push inland as well. by the end of the night, rain showing its hand in northern ireland. going to be colder than last night, but there is a chance, if we have the cloud broken long enough in the far north of scotland, we could see the aurora borealis investing in the morning but most of the activity will be after daybreak. tomorrow we start cloudy, sunny spells developing. rain coming in across western scotland and northern ireland through the course of the day. temperatures seven in the north, 19 in the south. if you like your weather a little bit warmer, it looks very much like good friday could have temperatures as high as 22 degrees in parts of the south—east, but it is not going to last and next week we are back to normal. whatever normal is, carol. true!

here on breakfast we've been following the story of martin hibbert, who was told he would never walk again after suffering a spinal injury in the manchester arena bomb. since then, martin's taken on some massive fundraising challenges, and in a few weeks he's going for the biggest one yet — climbing mount kilimanjaro. graham satchell went to see how his training is going. an altitude chamber at burnley chamber and martin hibbert college and martin hibbert is being put through his paces. that's it, good. mentally and physically it's probably the best i've ever been in life. i feel like a million dollars. i don't feel disabled. ifeel like i'm flying home. the chamber has reduced oxygen levels. it replicates conditions at the top of the mountain. kilimanjaro, the highest summit in africa. in just a few short weeks, martin will attempt to climb this

mountain to raise money and awareness for people with spinal—cord injuries. i get emotional because i remember, you know, waking up in intensive care, not being able to move and thinking my life is over. and here i am, about to set off to climb kilimanjaro, one of the highest mountains in the world. i want this to be about, look at what somebody can do when they have got the help and support. it's almost five years now since the manchester arena attack left 20 people dead. left 22 people dead. martin and his daughter eve were the closest to the bomber to survive. eve suffered life changing injuries. martin, left paralysed from the waist down. maybe that's why i have survived, maybe it's this moment, maybe my role in life is to change the life and the world for spinal injury people and disabled people and that feels really important to me. and it's just all starting to make sense now.

it feels right. a snowy hill top in lancashire and a moment martin has been waiting forfor months. can't wait to do it. whoo! there you go. it looks cool, doesn't it? the red really looks cool, love it, love it! this custom built british made mountain trike could make all the difference in getting to the summit. it's making the impossible possible. to see something that is giving me legs to do something that a lot of able—bodied people struggle with, it makes me quite emotional to see it. i can't believe how easy it gets over... the little bumps you don't even notice. it's getting over with no trouble whatsoever. getting up kilimanjaro will have significant challenges for martin, not just the terrain. like, for example, going to the loo. in the world of spinal—cord injury, that's all we talk about. poos and wees, that's

all we talk about. how do you wee, how do you poo? that's all we talk about. you don't say, my name is martin. you know about every poo and wee before you even know about their name. if i don't get the skinned side of it right, the bowel and the bladder, i could die. going to the toilet, you know, having accidents, that's what i get really upset about and i will probably never get my head around. i want people to see that. i think it's important, and hopefully you know, people don't mind me talking about it because i think it's important. yeah, down will be a lot easier! really excited to hand over the mountain trike now and you can start training on it and preparing for kilimanjaro in the trike. been brilliant to be a part of it, thank you very much. cheers, mate.

back in burnley, martin is about to get in a huge fridge, a cryochamber at —90 degrees. when you are ready, off you go, i've got your back. 0k? yeah. he will be in there for three minutes. as you can see it's getting colder, he's working on the joints that he's been using in the muscles that he's been using and just boosting recovery to those areas. nathan and his team at burnley college have been so impressed by martin, they are providing the training and facilities here for free. his determination is very inspiring. i'm really passionate about people getting the best out of life, so whatever life looks like for them, they can achieve the things they want to in life. and so this is his chance, so we wanted to help him achieve that challenge. martin always says for people with spinal—cord injuries, everyday is like climbing a mountain. he wants things to change for wheelchair users, to show that with the right help and support, they can do anything.

graham satchell, bbc news, burnley. martin is raising money for the spinal injuries association. you probably know lemar and jamelia for hit songs like superstar and if there's anyjustice, but now they're starring as parents in a new film. little darlings is based on the best—selling book by children's author jacqueline wilson — and follows the story of a teenage girl who finds out her dad is a famous rock star. let's take a look. music. knocking. we're closed. knocking continues. i said we're clo... hi.

here are your headlnies at 9 o clock with the prime and chancellor both fined for attending parties in lockdown, political allies continue to defend borisjohnson and rishi sunak, while the opposition continue to call for them to go. it was wrong, he has apologised, he has accepted responsibility, he paid the 50 quid fine and he has completely overhauled number ten since that time as well. i don't seek to justify it but i also know it wasn't done with malice or intent, even though it should not have happened. the idea that we can't change leadership now because of the war in ukraine or because of the economic crisis, i think it is the other way round, that actually we need fresh leadership and we need leaders who can concentrate on the job in hand. prices are rising at their fastest rate for 30 years,

with higher costs for fuel and food pushing inflation to 7%.
