the speaker of the house of commons, sir lindsay hoyle, has called for a radical review of working practices, following a series of sexual misconduct and bullying claims against politicians. yesterday, the conservative mp neil parish resigned, after admitting he'd watched pornographic material on his phone in the commons chamber. the business secretary, kwasi kwarteng, has denied a culture of misogyny exists at westminster. 0ur political correspondent, ben wright, reports. sexism and misogyny. sexual misconduct. there are some bad apples who are out of order, who behave like animals and are bringing parliament into disrepute. it's been a grim week for parliament, with mps agreeing this place needs to change. yesterday, the tory mp neil parish quit after admitting to watching pornography on his phone in the house of commons. that followed the backlash to an article about labour's deputy leader, angela rayner. there was cross—party

outrage at the story, saying she crossed and uncrossed her legs to distract borisjohnson. today, a tory source claimed that after investigating the matter, miss rayner had originally made the comments herself. labour called that a vile sexist smear. cabinet ministers have been telling of experiences, too. 0ne describing how she was once pinned to a wall by a male mp. it has all put a spotlight on the culture of the commons. i think we've got to distinguish between some bad apples, people who behave badly. and the general environment. it is very similar to when people say, "oh, well, there are a number of racist people in this country so that means the whole country is racist. ., ., , �* that means the whole country is racist. ., ., ,�* ., ., “ racist. that doesn't follow.

6:15 pm
you don't need to stay at home if you have slight symptoms like a sore throat or a runny nose. you can still go to school or college or to work. now, testing for the general population also comes to an end from this weekend. we're seeing mass testing centres here being closed down, but testing for workers in higher risk environments, like hospitals and health and social care workers, that will remain. so we are seeing life in scotland started to come back to normal, but the advice is to wear face coverings in certain settings, and on friday still there were more than 2,000 new cases of covid. the tv presenter davina mccall has said the crisis in hormone replacement therapy in the uk is "ridiculous" — and has to be fixed immediately.
6:16 pm
hrt is a treatment designed to relieve symptoms of the menopause — but earlier this week, the government announced supplies would be rationed — with women only able to get three months worth of certain hrt products at a time. the shortage is thought to affect about a million women in the uk. speaking to the bbc�*s sunday morning programme — mccall recalled her own experience of the menopause. i think the main thing that i've wanted to do throughout this journey of bringing menopause to the fore is to de—stigmatise menopause for women in women's eyes. because i think we have always looked at the menopause as a stage in life when women get their curlers in, they are no longer sexual beings, we are slightly invisible, in the background, but actually we are living a lot longer now, we want to live fuller, happier, healthier lives, and the way to do that is to replace the
6:17 pm
hormones we have lost. when i lost those hormones, or in perimenopause, ifelt those hormones, or in perimenopause, i felt that it age to me, i felt irrelevant, ifelt i felt that it age to me, i felt irrelevant, i felt embarrassed because i had always been at the top of my game, i had been in television at that point for 20 years, i really knew what i was doing. i was extremely proud of my logistical practicality and the fact i could multitask. and itjust went. and so when somebody asked me if i was ok because i had messed up on a tv programme, isaid because i had messed up on a tv programme, i said yes. and then when she shut the door and went away, i just burst into tears because i thought, "i'm not ok, ithink just burst into tears because i thought, "i'm not ok, i think i've got a brain tumour or alzheimer's or something, help me." the chairman of asda, lord rose, has warned that food prices
6:18 pm
are likely to increase further, as people continue to grapple with rising inflation. the cost of living hit a 30 year high of 7% in the 12 months to march. lord rose, who is a conservative peer, urged the government to do more to help tackle the crisis, but acknowledged it "couldn't solve all the problems". he wouldn't predict exactly how high he thinks prices will go, but his message today was clear, that prices would go higher and that they would stay high for some time to come. and of course, as we have just been hearing, food prices are going up all around us, the prices of everyday goods have been increasing, and that is really putting pressure on household budgets. and the whole situation has really been exacerbated by the war in ukraine, because that has really fuelled the price of things like wheat and oil and other commodities, so lord rose was speaking on the sunday morning show for the bbc today, and he was asked where he thinks food prices would be in the years to come. there is going to be a new level of cost for these raw materials, and they won't go down, this is a new high,
6:19 pm
that is something that people are going to have to accommodate. what we now have to think about is, is that going to have a long—term effect on inflation, because well we have a wage spiral, or we could end up if we have no growth, stagflation, so which is the more evil? they are both evil, and the government has got a very difficult and tricky road to navigate. and we've had a warning about the cost of chicken, haven't we? that's right, that is a warning that has come from another supermarket boss, the chief executive of co—op, and he is warning that chicken could end up being as expensive as beef, and that's because of the rising price of chicken feed. and as we have just been talking about, wheat prices have been soaring in recent months, and wheat is a major component in chicken feed, so that's part of the reason why prices are going up there, and what he predicted was that if chicken prices keep going up in this way, we may see families

well, the prince of wales, if you can hear me, as encourages all to plant a tree for the queen's jubilee. and her majesty would like us all to name some trees and forests after her as well. let's get more as well from our correspondent. newsreel: after the spade work, a good watering ensured - that the seedling got a proper start in life. she has, over the 70 years of her reign, planted many a tree to mark a visit by the monarch. buckingham palace estimates it must be something like 1,500. but the planting of trees has much more than a merely symbolic significance.

they are, of course, vital to the environment. so plant a tree for thejubilee is the message being pushed today by the prince of wales, no mean tree—planter himself. to launch the queen's green canopy, 70 of the oldest trees and most ancient woodlands around the united kingdom have been identified. one of the ancient trees is at dumfries house in ayrshire. i am delighted, therefore, to have the opportunity to launch this project in the grounds of dumfries house under the majestic branches of this old sycamore, which predates the very house itself, having grown from seed more than 420 years ago. planted in 1599, or thereabouts, during the reigns of queen elizabeth i and king james vi, it is remarkable that this ancient tree is as old as shakespeare's hamlet and caravaggio's david and goliath. the purpose of the project, said the prince, was to conserve the united kingdom's natural heritage, to protect ancient woodlands and to plant many thousands of new trees
