12:12 pm
searches and she went missing over a week ago, as you mentioned on the 22nd of april in the morning, and previously offers an officers had said they were working on the basis she was no longer alive. it was on thursday that detective started searching an area of woodland in a forest area and we have had a statement in the last hour or so that a body has been found. it was in the area in the forest of poland, which is a vast area of woodland in lancashire, mainly, and also in yorkshire. —— a forest of bowland. they focused on that area because they had a reported sighting of a van and they were contacted by a member of the public. lancashire police have said in a statement that at this stage they cannot confirm the woman's identity, but they do believe that of katie and a postmortem examination will now be carried out to establish the cause of death. herfamily carried out to establish the cause of death. her family are clearly being supported by specialist
12:13 pm
officers. on tuesday a 50—year—old man, andrew butterfield, from burnley, he was charged with katie's murder, and he peered at preston crown court and he will face trial in november. —— it is andrew burnley —— mike andrew butterfield. here in britain, a conservative mp accused of watching pornography in the house of commons has rejected calls to resign immediately, but said he will stand down if found guilty. neil parish, who's been suspended by the conservatives, has referred himself to the parliamentary commissioner for standards — and suggested he may have viewed the material by mistake. here's our political correspondent, david wallace lockhart. neil parish, the mp for tiverton and honiton in devon and chair of a parliamentary committee. we now know he is the mp accused of watching pornography on their phone in the commons chamber. after being suspended by the conservative party, he addressed assembled journalists outside his home. of course it's embarrassing, and it's embarrassing for my wife and family, and so that's my main concern at the moment. i have a very supportive wife,
12:14 pm
and i thank her for that. was it a mistake? i will await the findings of the inquiry. i am talking about — did you open something by error in the commons? i did, but let the inquiry look at that. he is now facing two potential parliamentary investigations and says he will step down if found guilty. his constituents reacted to the news. it surprises me, but who knows these days? i mean, one hears all sorts of things about all sorts of mps, and you just don't know what the truth is. horrified. it's horrific. who in their right mind would think that was sensible or even ok? - it'sjust ridiculous. if he has been accused, they have to find proof, really. so, you know, if they find good proof then i don't know... ..how they will deal with it.
12:15 pm
a neighbouring conservative mp defended neil parish's character. i am very shocked myself. i know neil very well. he is a good friend, a good man and a cracking good mp. and he has done the right thing, of course, in referring this to the parliamentary standards commissioner. and we will all have confidence in her, in kathryn stone, to look into this thoroughly and advise us as to what should happen next. but does an incident like this paint all parliamentarians in a bad light? one fellow mp believes so. all these sorts of stories bring politicians, particularly- politicians, into disrepute. there are a few who maybe shouldn't be there, - but the majority of members of parliament of all sides - work incredibly hard l for their constituents. there are questions now about the political future of neil parish, and the culture in westminster remains in the spotlight. david wallace lockhart,
12:16 pm
bbc news, westminster. ewan murrie is in mr parish's constituency of tiverton, in devon. i spoke to him a little earlier. certainly, the talk of the town here in tiverton. i've been standing in this spot since about six o'clock this morning. lots of people coming up to us, wanting to share their opinions about this. most people, i should say, not very impressed, pretty disappointed that their mp, neil parish, has found himself in this position. he's not normally the sort of person to get himself into trouble. generally pretty well respected. so, yeah, it's really taken a lot of people back — many here speaking to me saying they think he should resign, not even wanting any more information about the circumstances. but there are plenty, too, reserving theirjudgment until we get the full facts as to why it was he was watching this material in parliament, if indeed that is the case — obviously that's still subject to the ongoing investigation.
12:17 pm
in terms of conservative reaction, most local tory mps not wanting to speak to us, apart from we did hear from gary streeter there. one female tory mp in devon, selaine saxby, spoke to me a bit earlier. she has an office next to neil parish, she says she's bewildered about this news, but she does think it's fair to hold judgment, she says, until she has more details about the facts. obviously he has been temporarily suspended from his party, but he does still stand as a member of parliament here in this area, for now. we can speak to lord bethell of romford who believes what happened with the mp in the commons is a sign of a wider problem. welcome, thank you forjoining us and i know that you're concerned about the issue beyond the commons because you yourself are someone —— asked someone to stop looking at pawn on the london underground, so we will come to that, but first of all focusing on the comments, do you

12:25 pm
story emerged from parliament, it really rang a bell and i put it on twitter and got a phenomenal response from people who told very, very similar stories from the workplace, in public places like supermarkets, churches, libraries and i really think that this public consumption of pornography has not only in itself become quite prevalent, it speaks of people who have developed quite a serious addiction. and the pandemic, ofcom says, so a big spike in the consumption of online pornography. nearly half of people, they say, were consuming... nearly half of people, they say, were consuming. . ._ were consuming... sorry, we're almost out — were consuming... sorry, we're almost out of _ were consuming... sorry, we're almost out of time _ were consuming... sorry, we're almost out of time and - were consuming... sorry, we're almost out of time and i - were consuming... sorry, we're almost out of time and i do - were consuming... sorry, we'rel almost out of time and i do want were consuming... sorry, we're - almost out of time and i do want to get your very quick thoughts on how you think this could be tackled. is legislation the only way? i you think this could be tackled. is legislation the only way?- you think this could be tackled. is legislation the only way? i think we have not legislation the only way? i think we have got to — legislation the only way? i think we have got to look _ legislation the only way? i think we have got to look at _ legislation the only way? i think we have got to look at and _ legislation the only way? i think we have got to look at and we - legislation the only way? i think we have got to look at and we have - legislation the only way? i think we have got to look at and we have to | have got to look at and we have to lean into this in a big way. the online safety bill is a great vehicle. chris phelps, the minister, has made some commitment, but i would like to see that really clarified to protect young people by

12:27 pm
the winds will strengthen as well and some of that rain quite heavy for a time on exposed west coasts, so the best of the sunshine for england and wales, here with light winds and that is likely we are not going to see as much cloud coming in off the north sea, so more sunshine here on the east coasts and temperatures peaking at around 17 degrees, 63 fahrenheit. not the case under the cloud and rain, here noticeably cooler with around 11 or 12. through the night tonight, that low sinks south, pushing a blanket of cloud with it ahead of the rain, so frost—free first thing on sunday morning, but there will be outbreaks of rain and favoured spots first thing look likely to be wales and parts of the midlands on sunday. still some heavy outbursts across the west coast of wales, but as the rain goes south it will weaken off and fragment as it goes east, but a different story into scotland and northern ireland, brighter and as a consequence a bit warmer and highs of 17 degrees
12:28 pm
here to sunday afternoon. here sunday afternoon. into bank holiday monday, largely dry for most of us, but rather grey again, cloud an issue. and the northerly wind will start to pick up into the far north of scotland, triggering a few showers perhaps down through the scottish borders and the pennines, but it will bring a noticeable difference to the feel of the weather, 7—10 here, but further south with a bit more shelter and more sunshine, we might see temperatures peaking at 17 celsius. we keep the cloudy theme, but slightly cooler tuesday into wednesday, but no significant rain for the next days to come.
