this is bbc news. these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the world. ministers face calls to increase benefits and state pensions now to help those struggling with the surging cost of living — the chancellor says he knows things are challenging and says he's ready to do more to help people. the next few months will be tough, but where we can act, we will. do you think the government should give you more help? or is the £9 billion they are giving to help people with fuel bills enough? do you support a windfall tax on the energy companies? we want to hear your stories. get in touch. message me on twitter, instagram or tiktok. russia says 1,700 ukrainian soldiers from mariupol�*s besieged steel plant have now surrendered. they're being registered by the icrc as prisoners of war.

the un warns that global food shortages and mass hunger in poorer countries could follow russia's invasion of ukraine. soul legend diana ross, queen and duran duran are among the star—studded line—up for the queen's platinum jubilee concert. and, we will meet the couple who have won £181; million on the euro millions lottery. britain �*s biggest ever lottery win. they go public with a press conference in just over half an hour. hello, and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. ministers are facing growing calls to bring forward large increases in benefits and the state pension which will be paid from next april.

charities say they want benefits to increase now to help people. last night the chancellor rushi sunak warned the next few months will tough, as he spoke to business leaders. inflation to business leaders. in the uk has hit a a0 year inflation in the uk has hit a a0 year high of 9%. 0ur political correspondent jonathan blake reports. thank you. high and getting higher. prices are rising faster than they have for decades. and we don't need inflation figures to tell us that. the rate at which goods are getting more expensive will be a worry for the chancellor, who last night warned of harder times ahead. there is no measure that any government could take, no law we could pass that can make these global forces disappear overnight. the next few months will be tough. but where we can act, we will. more than a hint of help to come for households struggling with soaring bills.

he also said he would cut taxes on businesses to encourage them to invest. inflation this high, now at 9%, has not been seen in the uk for a0 years. and looking back, figures show that when it rises to such a level, it can take years and not months as currently forecast to come down again. debate is raging in government about what to do and when to ease the rising cost of living. 0pposition parties and some conservatives say action is urgently needed. during the pandemic we saw an emergency response and i think the emergency is different now. but it still requires emergency response. a lot more needs to be done, a lot more needs to be done. that's why we absolutely need a windfall tax sooner rather than later. the oil companies have made £40 billion of profit. with no letup in sight for families feeling the effects of economic shocks from covid and the war in ukraine, the government

is still weighing its options. but under increasing pressure to act. jonathan blake, bbc news. 0ur chief political correspondent is adam fleming, and he explained when the government would send more help to people. i the government would send more help to --eole. ., the government would send more help to --eole. . , , to people. i have 'ust been listening h to people. i have 'ust been listening to _ to people. i have 'ust been listening to the _ to people. i have just been - listening to the director-general of listening to the director—general of the cbi on the radio saying that actually, there should be held for the most vulnerable right now, and that could be done without stoking inflation, which calls into question one of the arguments from the government for not acting straightaway. in terms of rishi sunak �*s speech last night, he was talking to an audience of business leaders, so it was a business focused speech. the centrepiece of it was talking about or hinting that there will be tax cuts for businesses to encourage them to invest in people, and staff and innovation. that is later in the year. but he had to address the cost of living, and he had a grim message, which is that things are going to be bad and tough in his words, for a few months. so this is

not going to be over quickly. he then said that the government �*s think it was going to evolve as the situation evolved, which is a far cry from what treasury officials told us a few months ago, when they said the plan to do the rebate on council tax bills from april, and to sort of rebate energy bills in october would get them through the 0ctober would get them through the year. that is no longer the case. he dropped a big hint about what that future support could look like, or what he thinks it should look like, and he said that support should be targeted at the most vulnerable. that to me sounds like he is looking at expanding existing things like the warm homes discount all the winter fuel payments, or stuff around the benefit system, rather than across the board tax cuts for everyone. than across the board tax cuts for eve one. �* ., than across the board tax cuts for eve one. ~ ., ., , ., everyone. although someone else who was on the airwaves _ everyone. although someone else who was on the airwaves this _ everyone. although someone else who was on the airwaves this morning, - everyone. although someone else who was on the airwaves this morning, a i was on the airwaves this morning, a former adviser to george osborne, said that maybe there should be a vat cut of 2.5 percentage points, so back to what alistair darling did during the financial crisis. find during the financial crisis. and what about — during the financial crisis. and what about this _ during the financial crisis. fific what about this suggestion from various charities, and also some

labour politicians, of bringing forward the benefits and pension rise which people are going to get from next april, which is always based on the inflation figure of the september before, so september 2022. we know inflation is going to be high. we know inflation is going to be hiuh. . , we know inflation is going to be hih, ., , ., we know inflation is going to be hih. ., , ., , we know inflation is going to be hilh. ., , ., ~ we know inflation is going to be high. has that been talked about? the chancellor _ high. has that been talked about? the chancellor said _ high. has that been talked about? the chancellor said in _ high. has that been talked about? the chancellor said in an - high. has that been talked about? the chancellor said in an interview last week did quite a lot of derision that the computer system that does quite a lot of the benefit system could not be updated in a way that meant that that increase could be brought forward. talking to treasury officials, they are insistent that that is actually the case, and they discovered during the pandemic that you couldn't do that. universal credit seems to be different, so there are now calls from the tuc and others that actually, maybe you could increase universal credit payments, as was donein universal credit payments, as was done in the pandemic. and of course you've got the question about what happens with the triple lock for pensions, that'll have to be decided in the autumn budget as well. so yes, a lot to discuss. the reason it seems a bit chaotic at the moment is

because the government is having those discussions and no decisions have been made, so everyone is weighing in with their favourite bit of support that could be offered. you can see that with this idea of the windfall tax. it has been put forward by opposition parties that you tax the excess profits of the oil and gas companies, who are making billions because of the increase in global oil and gas prices. at the moment the government has this holding position, which is they are not in favour of it, but they are not in favour of it, but they are not ruling it out if it is needed further down the line. you are now hearing government ministers when asked about this picking their favourite half of that sentence, with some saying we don't like tax rises that shouldn't happen at all, and other saying, well actually it could be a good idea. so there is growing pains around the government position on the windfall tax as well. so that's when you read the paper one half of the government briefing against the other. there are conflicting reports about how many ukrainian fighters are still holding out at the steel plant

in the ruined city of mariupol. russian state media are reporting that more than seventeen—hundred have now left, but top commanders have yet to surrender. pictures released by the russian ministry of defence appear to show them leaving the site. the international committee of the red cross says that ukrainian troops who have left the area will be declared prisoners of war. russia says 900 fighters have been taken to a former prison colony in russian—controlled territory. russia says the ukrainian troops who left mariupol had surrendered. i asked our ukraine correspondent joe inwood whether this was a fair description. i think that is probably an accurate term, a negotiated surrender. they had run out of food, ammunition, water. i think the feeling was and it was explicitly said by president zelensky that they had achieved their mission. the original aim, they say, was to hold out for as long as they possibly could, to keep the defence of mariupol going long enough to allow the rest of ukrainian forces to regroup,

for weaponry to come in. they say they did that. they released a statementjust before the surrender was announced, saying that they had achieved their mission, and a new mission now was to save as many lives as possible. interestingly, one thing we don't know yet is whether everyone has come out. the numbers have always been uncertain on this. we were told there were around 2000 people inside. around 1700 have come out now. it could be the 300 difference is that people who were killed in the intervening period. there was huge amounts of bombardment. but have the leaders of this battalion come out? as a few days ago we were told they hadn't, and it may be that, given what we are hearing from russia douma, these reports from a leading member of the body that they should reintroduce the death penalty for members of this azov battalion, it may be that the leaders of it decide it is not worth coming out and they would rather stay and fight.

and what will happen to those who have come out? it is a good question, and the honest truth is we don't really know yet. it is part of the initial settlement, we understand, which was negotiated along with the united nations and the red cross. the idea was there would be some sort of prisoner exchange. as i was suggesting, there has been talk almost straightaway amongst russian parliamentarians, including the speaker of the russian parliament, that these people should not be treated as prisoners of war, but as war criminals. that would mean something very different, and that would mean they would not be exchanged and they would be left to see out presumably a very long sentence in russian prisons. but, as i say, the red cross are involved, the united nations are involved, and we understand the red cross are documenting the details of the men who have come out, so i think they will try and bring some pressure to bear on the russians to treat them as they should be treated under the geneva convention, rather than as paramilitaries, which would mean they were subject to a different set of rules. the un secretary general has warned the war in ukraine could lead

to years of mass hunger in poorer countries, and increases the risk of a global food shortage. the crisis has sent food prices soaring and there are fears the world could face famines lasting for years. azaday moshiri has more. realising the war in his country is unlikely to end any time soon, president zelensky has asked ukraine's lawmakers to extend martial law for another 90 days. translation: how long will this last? l only the actual situation on the battlefield will give the answer to this question. but the effects of this extended battle are being felt around the world. with the un secretary general warning it is threatening a global food shortage unless russia releases grain stored in ukrainian ports. it threatens to tip tens of millions of people over the edge into food insecurity, followed by malnutrition, mass hunger and famine, and the crisis would last for years.

so i ask president putin, if you have any heart at all, please, open these ports. together, russia and ukraine produce 30% of the world's wheat supply, 20% of its corn, and 80% of its sunflower oil. that's why ukraine was often referred to as the world's bread basket. and because of the war, the un says global food prices are almost 30% higher than the same time last year. so leaders are laying the blame firmly at russia's feet. russia has launched a grain war, stoking a globalfood crisis. us secretary of state antony blinken echoed those thoughts, calling it russia's war of choice. but in the meantime, the un secretary general has said he is in intense talks to create food corridors. he warned that until then, the world's poorest nations will suffer. azadeh moshiri, bbc news.

russian officials say ukrainian forces have bombed a border village in the western region of kursk, killing at least one person. but the chief of centre at ukraine's national defence university told the bbc the ukrainian army was not responsible. asi as i understand it, this was a false flag operation, as usual. they conduct many of those operations and try to inflict some opinion of the international community and inside the countryjust to mobilise people against ukraine. this was done a few months ago in belarusian territory

when they don't some rockets and presented it as an attack from ukraine, but it was absolutely a false flag operation. and now this is absolutely the same in neighbouring regions of the russian federation itself. there is not in ukraine this strategy at all. we are not doing any bombardment on civilian populations and civilian villages and towns. it is completely out of our strategy and tactics. the �*wagatha christie' high court libel battle will draw to a close in london later, as lawyers for each of the celebrities set out their cases. coleen rooney is being sued for libel by rebekah vardy, who denies mrs rooney's accusation that she leaked private information about her.

our news correspondent, colin paterson, has been giving us the latest from the high court. well, here we are, finally after more than 30 hours of evidence being given, it is the end of the trial, day seven. this could have all finished yesterday, but the judge decided to give both sides an extra 2a hours to write their closing arguments, and that is what we are going to hear this morning. important to say, there is nojury, it is thejudge who decides what happens here. we are not expecting anything to be announced today. we are expecting a reserved judgment, meaning that the judge will go away, spent a couple of weeks going through all the evidence that she has heard, and then they will be called back to the high court and we will find out who she has ruled in favour of. let's just remind our viewers, rebekah vardy is suing coleen rooney, and coleen rooney's team has to prove what? that is correct.

her team has to prove it was rebekah vardy who leaked the information from coleen rooney's private instagram to the sun, or it was rebekah vardy who instructed caroline watt, her agent at the time, to leak the information from the private instagram to the sun. that's what this whole trial has been about. so many highlights, and when i think back over the last six days there have been accusations of betrayal, we have been looking into the detective work of coleen rooney, we have heard how a crucial piece of evidence ended up at the bottom of the north sea. evidence, there's been a husband in the witness box, there has been a cousin, a brother, a mobile phone expert. i have heard a high courtjudge being explained to out the settings on instagram stories work. they really struggled with that. i have seen two of the most pre—eminent barristers in the uk having to ask for the differentiation between two different emoji signs.

but it is also important to say, while this has given so many people entertainment, it's had a serious impact on the two people involved. rebekah vardy gave evidence for four days and towards the end of questioning she said she felt bullied and intimidated by the questioning. we heard wayne rooney in court on tuesday, describing how the last 2.5 years since coleen rooney made that accusatory post have been traumatic for his wife. he said he had watched her struggle and she had changed as a mother and as a wife. and let's remind our audience, there was an opportunity for both of the women, both parties, to sort this out before it reached this point, wasn't there? absolutely, in coleen rooney's written statement given to the courts, she says three times she went to rebekah vardy, trying to sort this out of court. she offered mediation to try and prevent this coming to the high court, and in that written statement

she said she knew that if it came to the high court, it would not be good for both of them. i think that has proven to be the case. from the point of view of rebekah vardy, what she said is if coleen rooney had been willing to apologise before this got to the high court, then it would never have had to come, but she has felt she had to come here because she needed to protect her reputation both for her sake, and for the sake of her children. a report by a swiss based ngo has found the number of people displaced within their own countries is at an all time high. the data was compiled before the war in ukraine, so the figures are likely to be even higher. imogen foulkes has more from bern. the really worrying figure of 59.1 million people displaced inside their own countries in 2021. that's 5 million more than the year before. it doesn't include, as you say, the 8 million people displaced inside ukraine. and this is really

very, very worrying. we are looking at people displaced by conflict in ethiopia, for example, 5 million. but also increasingly by climate change related events. massive drought in africa. successive droughts in afghanistan. you mentioned at the start of your headlines, the un warning about a food crisis. this was coming, even before the grain supply from ukraine being in jeopardy because of these climate change related events, because of drought. crops are failing, people are moving. that then fuelled the whole issue with tension and conflict and that then fuels more displacement. in about 15 minutes we will bring you a press conference which

involves a couple who have won the biggest ever lottery win in the uk. it is £18a million. that's about $220 million, ithink. anyway, that is the set. they are from gloucestershire. it looks like they will be interviewed by someone, and they are going to tell us how this money is transforming their life and what they are going to do with the money. that was a cameraman, i think. there will be flash photography and lots of press there, so i'm just warning you about the flash photography, and it would be really nice to see who they are and what they are like and what they will do with the money. that is in about quarter of an hour. the british medical association says the uk government failed in its duty of care to doctors and the health and care workforce with its handling of the pandemic. the doctors' trade union says there were errors ofjudgment in uk government policy, which led to shortages of ppe, lack of adequate risk assessments and negative effects on mental and physical health. the findings will be part of the public inquiry which begins next year.

a uk government spokesperson said billions of items of ppe had been delivered to nhs front line staff and there was a commitment to learn lessons and respond openly to the inquiry. record—breaking heatwaves in northwest india and pakistan are 100 times more likely because of climate change. that's according to a new british study. the two countries have suffered extremely high temperatures recently, as our south asia correspondent yogita limaye reports. 0utdoors in northern india is like the inside of an oven. this work is never easy, but during a heatwave it can be life—threatening. dozens have died of heat stroke across india, but millions of workers cannot afford to stop. this man has travelled 800 miles

from home for thisjob. "we face a lot of problems. "the skin all over our body burns and sometimes we feel "like we might faint," he says. "but we have no choice, we have to work to earn." heatwaves are not uncommon in south asia, but this year they started earlier than usual and have been more harsh and frequent. in pakistan, temperatures are touching 50 degrees in some parts. this area of punjab province is facing a severe drought, putting lives and livelihoods at risk. climate change could cause such extreme weather once every three years instead of 300, experts have warned. barely any part of the region has been spared from these changes in weather patterns. here in the west of india,

not only are we seeing higher temperatures during the summer, but during the rainy season for the past few years we have seen cyclones hitting this coast, which is extremely unusual, and many climate experts say that is because surface temperatures of the sea are rising. hundreds of miles from the coast, in this indian state heavy rains arrived early and with more ferocity than normal. people are used to seeing floods each year, but they found themselves unprepared. river waters are expected to rise further. this country has a lot of experience saving people from natural disasters. but it now finds itself battling on too many fronts. let's get more now on the rising cost of living. ministers in the uk are facing growing calls to bring forward large let's get more now on the rising cost of living.

ministers in the uk are facing growing calls to bring forward large increases in benefits and the state pension which are due to be paid from next april. last night the chancellor rushi sunak warned the next few months will tough as he spoke to business leaders about the rising cost of living. 0ne charity in york says that some families are choosing to eat cold food because they can't afford the energy to make a hot meal. heidi tomlinson reports. jay phoenix was referred to york food bank six weeks ago when she began to choose feeding the cat over herself. some shower gel, please. jay is a recovering drug addict. she has been clean for three years. life was slowly improving until the bills began creeping up. there were four or five days every couple of weeks i was going without food. and itjust got to the point that i was struggling with my mental health. donations here come from the public and supermarkets. referrals have increased by 30% in the last year. volunteers say some stretched families are thinking twice about heating food, as it is cheaper to eat cold meals. people are telling us

that they don't have energy to cook and in that situation it it's really heartbreaking to see that. there is some support available to help, but it is not enough. people are distressed. we are seeing people who have never used these services before, who don't know what is available, and have never needed to ask for help with something as simple as food. higher energy bills are hitting millions of people and businesses, as firms pay more to produce goods, they are forced to charge customers more. inflation today stands at 9%. that's up from 7% last month. prices are rising at the fastest rate for a0 years. an increase thatjohn hind's pension doesn't cover. he keeps a close eye on the thermostat. retirement isn't anywhere near as comfortable as he expected. it is everything. the cost of living. every time my wife comes back from the shop, everything has gone up 10p, 20p like that. and the heating as well that has sort of doubled. how are you managing?

well, it's a blanket on at night. not using the heating since about january. john has received help from the citizens advice bureau in york. yes, you do qualify for a fuel voucher. record numbers are turning to the charity in the face of escalating costs. i think debt is a tsunami coming towards us now. for people in very vulnerable - situations, we can give them food vouchers and fuel vouchers. that kind of support had transformed jay's situation. i know i can eat without feeling guilty. i can look after my cat and myself. citizens advice say people should seek help as soon as possible to avoid debt. in africa, ghana is one of the most expensive countries to live in. prices of goods and services have increased sharply since the beginning of the pandemic. some say the situation is becoming unbearable. rising fuel and food prices are affecting all parts of society,

as our west africa correspondent, nomsa maseko, reports. mark owns a catering business. i met up with him at the market, shopping for ingredients for one of his most popular dishes, jollof rice. so how have the increases in prices affected you? this used to be 20 cedi but we are here today in the market and nobody is selling them. the price has gone to a0 cedi. and you bought it for 20 cedi seven days ago. exactly. and now it's double the price? exactly. and has she explained why? she said she went to the market to buy a box. a box like that? yes. formerly it was around 1200 but when she was selling it today it was 2500. that means it's difficult for you to get a budget. exactly. it's markets like this one where consumers use to come to buy basic food items because they were much cheaper,

but now things have changed because food prices have more than doubled everywhere in just the last two weeks. what have you found yourself having to stop buying because of the prices? i used to buy oil in bulk but now i'm really struggling to buy one. what about the spices because you have other things here? 12 cedi. 18 cedi now. everything. this is one of the spices i use in preparing my rice. it must be difficult. very, very difficult. rice, which is fast becoming a staple, is mainly imported from asia.

but local wholesalers have been forced to cancel orders in recent months due to the depreciation of the local currency against the us dollar. in the first quarter of this year, the cedi devalued by 19% compared to just under 10% in 2018. in early april, ghana's inflation shot up to its highest levels since 2019 and one of the driving forces of that has been the cost of buying fuel and that in turn has made transport even more expensive. we used to buy fuel but it's too much for us. so we are telling the government to help us. not only is he having to endure steep food prices, but the rising cost of essentials has also been seen in the price of drinking water, which has increased twice in four months.

something water producers said was unavoidable. mark is one of many ghanaians were worried about their business and livelihood if prices keep going up and up. the canadian assembly of first nations has called for the queen to formally apologise on behalf of the crown and the church, over the historical mistreatment of indigenous peoples. the request was made to prince charles during the second day of his and camilla's three—dayjubilee tour. 0ur royal correspondent sarah campbell reports from the capital 0ttawa. oh, it's prince charles, right there! the royal visitors at this outdoor market caused quite the stir. oh, my gosh! for some, it was a little overwhelming. a little bit nervous and very excited. she's not wearing a hat. business is onlyjust picking up at this market. your royal highness. thank you for coming.

the famous beaver tails! tourism effectively stopped during the pandemic. so a bit of publicity, courtesy of prince charles and camilla, was very much welcome here. not a lot of people know that the market is actually open and running now. so, yes. i guess now they do. yes, exactly, definitely, they definitely do now, that's for sure! canada is home to the third largest population of ukrainians in the world. showing the community solidarity and support was something the couple wanted to do. they stayed far longer than was scheduled, their visit appreciated. we are sincerely grateful to the royal family, to her majesty queen elizabeth, and to you personally, for your help and support for ukraine. at the national war memorial,

sacrifice and service were honoured. a local school and camilla shared her love of books. and the prince, along with prime minister trudeau, joined a roundtable discussion focusing on one of his favourite subjects, sustainable finance. and no visit to canada would be complete without watching the mounties in action. there is no doubt this will have been a treat for the royal couple. they will have carried out 11 engagements in total today, the idea being that while they are here, they see and meet as many people as possible. at the end of a long day, an evening reception to mark the queen's platinum jubilee. as a nation, canadians are trying to work out how best to reconcile with the treatment of their indigenous peoples. what would help the healing process, the prince was told, was an apology from the head of state, the queen. it would be a real missed opportunity if he doesn't acknowledge that an apology is needed to first nations in canada.

and i did feel a great deal of empathy from the prince. certainly, he had a level of understanding that i appreciated. so i am hopeful that he does issue some kind of statement along those lines that an apology is coming. and the prince will have further opportunities to listen and engage with indigenous peoples before returning to the uk on friday. sarah campbell, bbc news, 0ttawa. any moment now we are told we will meet the couple from gloucestershire who have won it in�*s biggest ever lottery win. it is £18a million on the euromillions. and any moment now they are going to come out of the corner of that room somewhere in gloucestershire. they are going to reveal themselves and you don't have to do. but they want to go public. and we know their names now. they

tojoe and jess. luke grenfell—shaw was 24—years old when he was diagnosed with rare and aggressive stage 4 cancer. he went through surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy and feared he may not pull through. he scoured the internet looking for people with similar cancers that had gone on to achieve great thing and taken on challenges. his struggle to find the inspiration he was looking for led him to create his own challenge to ride on a tandum 30,000 kilometres from bristol in uk to beijing. in a bid to honour his 25—year—old brotherjohn, who fell to his death i caught up with him when he was half way through his bike ride — in kazakhstan. it is just amazing to be riding right now. i feel intensely lucky to be able to move and travel at all

some breaking news to begin with this hour — the metropolitan police has announced that its investigation into breaches of covid regulations at downing street and whitehall is now complete. it said detectives have made a total of 126 referrals forfixed penalty notices, covering eight separate events between may 2020 and april last year. our political correspondent is helen catt. helen, what is the latest? the metropolitan _ helen, what is the latest? i““ie metropolitan police have helen, what is the latest? i““ij: metropolitan police have now said they have concluded operation hillman is, the investigation into covid rule breaking in downing street and whitehall. as you said, 126 fines were issued overall for eight events they looked into. of those who received them, there were 53 men and 73 women and police say

some people did receive more than one fine, although they won't be giving any details of who those people are. we have contacted downing street to find out if the prime minister is one of those. we know that he, rishi sunak and kerry johnson were all fined for one event in the last batch of fines that went out. they did not receive a second one, so we are waiting to hear from downing street if any further once have been received. more detail on how this one was carried out. we are told there was a team of 12 detectives who worked through an enormous amount of material, 345 documents, including e—mails, door locks, diary entries and witness statements, and they also took 510 photographs and cctv images and there was the process of sending out questionnaires to people to fill in, 204 of those went out. 12 full—time dedicated officers were put on this investigation, and the total cost of the operation was around £460,000.

this police investigation was triggered by sue gray's inquiry, and it's been said all along that, once the police investigation was complete, her report would be published, so what can we expect on that front? ids, published, so what can we expect on that front? j . ., . published, so what can we expect on that front? j , ., . , ., that front? a senior civil servant, sue gray. — that front? a senior civil servant, sue gray. was — that front? a senior civil servant, sue gray, was originally - that front? a senior civil servant, sue gray, was originally tasked i that front? a senior civil servant, i sue gray, was originally tasked with looking into these parties, and that led to the police investigation, and the publication of her full report was put on hold while the police investigation was carried out. the implication was always that she would publish afterwards. we are now in contact with the cabinet office to try and find out when that might happen. that, of course, is likely to include a lot more detail. what we have from the police are the stark numbers, and they are big, 126 fines is not a small number. but what is expected is that sue gray's report will contain a lot more to detail around each of these gatherings, and it's expected could be quite damaging.—

gatherings, and it's expected could be quite damaging. where our mps and others in their— be quite damaging. where our mps and others in their assessment _ be quite damaging. where our mps and others in their assessment of _ be quite damaging. where our mps and others in their assessment of this? - others in their assessment of this? this is the crucial moment, because a lot of conservative mps, and it is conservative mps who have the fate of the prime minister in their hands, had said they were waiting for the sue gray report, so they were waiting for the police investigation to conclude and then they are waiting for the publication of the sue gray report to make up their mind, so this is really approaching crunch time for those mps. . 4, approaching crunch time for those mps. . ,, , ., government ministers in the uk are facing calls to bring forward increases in state benefits to help with the rising cost of living. rises in the state pension and other benefits are scheduled for next april, but campaigners want them introduced immediately. inflation in the uk has hit a 40—year high of 9%. in a speech to business leaders last night, the chancellor, rishi sunak, warned the next few months will be tough. our political correspondent, jonathan blake, reports.

thank you. high and getting higher. prices are rising faster than they have for decades. and we don't need inflation figures to tell us that. the rate at which goods are getting more expensive will be a worry for the chancellor, who last night warned of harder times ahead. there is no measure that any government could take, no law we could pass that can make these global forces disappear overnight. the next few months will be tough. but where we can act, we will. more than a hint of help to come for households struggling with soaring bills. he also said he would cut taxes on businesses to encourage them to invest. inflation this high, now at 9%, has not been seen in the uk for 40 years. and looking back, figures show that when it rises to such a level, it can take years and not months as currently forecast to come down again. debate is raging in government

about what to do and when to ease the rising cost of living. opposition parties and some conservatives say action is urgently needed. during the pandemic we saw an emergency response and i think the emergency is different now. but it still requires emergency response. a lot more needs to be done, a lot more needs to be done. that's why we absolutely need a windfall tax sooner rather than later. the oil companies have made £40 billion of profit. with no letup in sight for families feeling the effects of economic shocks from covid and the war in ukraine, the government is still weighing its options. but under increasing pressure to act. jonathan blake, bbc news. single mother of two sarah withrington from surrey told us every day is a struggle

as she tries to make ends meet. everyday is a struggle. i have to budget very tightly. luckily i have online banking so i had to check what's coming in and going out. shopping is very tight. two teenage boys, they do nothing but eat. so everything is going up. i had to get rid of my car in the first lockdown. i wasn't using it so it was just dying on the driveway, so i had to give it up. my youngest is autistic, so i have a companion bus pass for him. i'm doing what i can as a single parent, as many single parents out there are struggling with prices going up. i put more bills going out then i have coming in. going back to the finds from the police for parties in downing

street, 126 in total have been issued, and now the police investigation is complete. just a word from our political editor, chris mason, who says so far the prime minister has not been notified of a further fine. so we know that, of a further fine. so we know that, of those 126 fines, some people have had more than one and we know that, in the first batch of fixed penalty notices, the prime minister and his wife, carrie, and the chancellor, rishi sunak, all had fines. there was a second round of fines issued and none of them were fined in that process. we have been told throughout that number ten would say if the prime minister was fined and they are saying that the prime minister has not been notified of a further fine as of yet. the police investigation is now over and no attention turns to whether sue gray's report will be published in full and when that might be. it's a moving situation and we will keep you updated. i am just here and is a

bit more information. drum roll! ok, the new acting deputy commissioner, helen ball, has said that 28 people have received between two and five referrals, 97 of the fixed penalty notices have been paid, none of them outside the 28 day period that people have to pay those fixed penalty notices, so i mentioned we knew that there had been 126 fines and some people had had more than one. 28 people have had between two and five referrals for fixed penalty notices. another statistic, in terms of the breakdown of the people who were fined, because most of them we will not know who they are, because it's been kept confidential, but in terms of the overall breakdown we

are being told 53 people who received fines are men, 73 women. so little bits of detail continuing to come through and, as we get it, we will bring it to you. there are conflicting reports about how many ukrainian fighters are still holding out at that steel plant in the ruined port city of mariupol. russian state media are reporting that more than 1,700 have now left, but top commanders have yet to surrender. pictures released by the russian ministry of defence appear to show them leaving the site. the international committee of the red cross says that ukrainian troops who have left the area will be declared prisoners of war. russia says 900 fighters have been taken to a former prison colony in russian—controlled territory. earlier, our ukraine correspondant, joe inwood, outlined what may happen to those who have escaped the steel plant.

the idea was there would be some sort of prisoner exchange. as i was suggesting, there has been talk almost straightaway amongst russian parliamentarians, including the speaker of the russian parliament, that these people should not be treated as prisoners of war, but as war criminals. that would mean something very different, and that would mean they would not be exchanged and they would be left to see out presumably a very long sentence in russian prisons. but, as i say, the red cross are involved, the united nations are involved, and we understand the red cross are documenting the details of the men who have come out, so i think they will try and bring some pressure to bear on the russians to treat them as they should be treated under the geneva convention, rather than as paramilitaries, which would mean they were subject to a different set of rules. the impact of the war in ukraine is being felt around the world, with the un secretary—general warning it could lead to years of mass hunger in poorer countries, and increase the risk of a global food shortage. the crisis has sent food prices soaring and it is warned that the world could face famines lasting for years.

10% of the world's wheat and grain comes from ukraine. the bbc�*s azadeh moshiri has more. realising the war in his country is unlikely to end any time soon, president zelensky has asked ukraine's lawmakers to extend martial law for another 90 days. translation: how long will this last? l only the actual situation on the battlefield will give the answer to this question. but the effects of this extended battle are being felt around the world. with the un secretary general warning it is threatening a global food shortage unless russia releases grain stored in ukrainian ports. it threatens to tip tens of millions of people over the edge into food insecurity, followed by malnutrition, mass hunger and famine, and the crisis would last for years. so i ask president putin, if you have any heart at all, please, open these ports. together, russia and ukraine produce 30% of the world's wheat supply, 20% of its corn, and 80%

of its sunflower oil. that's why ukraine was often referred to as the world's bread basket. and because of the war, the un says global food prices are almost 30% higher than the same time last year. so leaders are laying the blame firmly at russia's feet. russia has launched a grain war, stoking a globalfood crisis. us secretary of state antony blinken echoed those thoughts, calling it russia's war of choice. but in the meantime, the un secretary general has said he is in intense talks to create food corridors. he warned that until then, the world's poorest nations will suffer. azadeh moshiri, bbc news. just another line on the fines for number ten over parties in lockdown.

we are hearing that the cabinet office is hoping that sue gray's report on the parties will come within the next couple of weeks. this inquiry is essentially now complete, but the process of finalising and checking has now begun, so the process was that police were not investigating and then sue gray's inquiry uncovered evidence she passed on to the police, who then launched their own investigation, and her inquiry findings were put on hold, pending that police investigation being completed. it is now complete, 126 fines have been issued and no sue gray's report is going to be published, it's expected, in the next couple of weeks. that's our breaking news this hour. that's our breaking news this hour. the headlines on bbc news... the metropolitan police completes its investigation into alleged breaches of covid regulations at downing street and whitehall issuing a total of 126 fines.

morning. they are having that photograph taken. they were just sitting on that's over a minute ago with tv personality dermot o'leary, and he presented them with what he called a comedy sized check, because it's a huge metal money for the it's 184 million £262,899 and ten p. let's not forget the ten p. they talked about how mind blowing this was. the fact that they decided to go public even though they were slightly concerned about it, as you would be, but they wanted to do it for their family would be, but they wanted to do it for theirfamily and would be, but they wanted to do it for their family and friends and the people who know them, because they said they didn't want to be able to splurge and splash out on a holiday for somebody and then say, look, we've been able to do that for you because of a lottery win, but we don't want you to tell anybody, so they didn't want to pass on the burden of secrets. that's one reason why they decided to go public with this amazing news. they talked about

their family. this amazing news. they talked about theirfamily. they this amazing news. they talked about their family. they could two primary school children and they want to make sure this is all managed carefully and properly. jesse talked about her father, carefully and properly. jesse talked about herfather, her carefully and properly. jesse talked about her father, her late father, who died seven years ago, and how he always played the lottery and, when he died, the battle was part on to joe, he was then doing the lottery when the winds were substantial and big, and we heard today he bought a ticket at about 4pm on the day of the draw. he woke up about five m the draw. he woke up about five m the next morning and received an e—mail to say that he'd won. he didn't quite know if it was true or not, thought it might have been in the thousands, but it was in the millions, and he left his wife, jess, to sleep because she hadn't had a good night's sleep, so he let her sleep and started to dream about what he did spend the money on. when he woke her, i think you heard her mention, she thought it was nothing to worry about, it was all a big joke, but of course it's reality.

what else did they say about what this will mean for their lives? will they give up work? were they talking about a house they can afford? yes. about a house they can afford? yes, the 've about a house they can afford? yes, they've moved _ about a house they can afford? yes, they've moved into _ about a house they can afford? yes, they've moved into their _ about a house they can afford? 1:3 they've moved into their house where they've moved into their house where they live at the moment about two months ago and they are in the middle of doing it up. they have talked today about how there is a bucket in their hallway which collates rain, would you believe, so the process of doing up that house, they say, keeps them really busy, so now they have to reflect on whether they will stay there or move elsewhere. in terms of work, joe said he will probably give up his job. jess runs the business side of a hair salon, job. jess runs the business side of a hairsalon, a family job. jess runs the business side of a hair salon, a family business, so whether or not she will give up that side of the business, she isn't sure, but they are both mindful that they are very lucky and they know that managing this amount of money and perhaps donated to good causes in the future, managing all of this is going to be a full—time job in the future, managing all of this is going to be a full—timejob in itself.

the royal college of psychiatrists has introduced new guidance for uk healthcare professionals on how to recognise patients with eating disorders who are dangerously ill. it says too many young people have died from anorexia, bulimia and binge—eating, when their lives could have been saved with earlier treatment. hospital admissions for eating disorders have risen 84% in the last five years in england. our health correspondent, jim reed, reports. we will bring you his report a bit later. let's speak now to dave chawner, a comedian and author who uses comedy to sensitively talk about his experience of eating disorders. thank you for coming in. where do you begin with your experience? i started developing anorexia when i was 17 and i didn't get seen until i was 17 and i didn't get seen until i was 23. it's important to say this isn't about trying to be angry with gps, about trying to point the finger. it's about working alongside them, so i am working with beat, the

uk eating disorder charity, to train medical students and raise awareness with doctors and gps that are seeing people on the front line. iattul’ere with doctors and gps that are seeing people on the front line.— people on the front line. were you aware of what _ people on the front line. were you aware of what was _ people on the front line. were you aware of what was going _ people on the front line. were you aware of what was going on - people on the front line. were you aware of what was going on for. people on the front line. were you i aware of what was going on for you? people always say, just talk, and if it had the words, i would have sorted it out. i used my body in order to show there was something wrong with my brain that i didn't have the words for. it's important to say it's notjust anorexia, there is bulimia, binge eating, and other things, and underneath it all, a lot of people who are numbing and avoiding things, and that's why i think comedy is really important to try and change that and give people the communication skills to talk about it, rather than saying, go on, chat about it. about it, rather than saying, go on, chat about it— chat about it. how do you find it it hels chat about it. how do you find it it helps improve _ chat about it. how do you find it it helps improve communication - chat about it. how do you find it it i helps improve communication skills on something which you didn't have the words to express? i

on something which you didn't have the words to express?— on something which you didn't have the words to express? i think comedy and therapy are _ the words to express? i think comedy and therapy are essentially _ the words to express? i think comedy and therapy are essentially trying - and therapy are essentially trying to break really complex ideas down and make sense of them. actually, there is no sort of tool out there to do that apart from things like psychotherapy, and i think it's really useful for these people, psychotherapy, and i think it's really usefulfor these people, and it's important to say that eating disorders are complex because they are not only psychological they are also physical, which is what this report sees. i think it's trying to break those things down and make them manageable and treat them in chunks. ., ., ., i. chunks. tell me more about how you came to that — chunks. tell me more about how you came to that realisation _ chunks. tell me more about how you came to that realisation that - chunks. tell me more about how you came to that realisation that comedy i came to that realisation that comedy was something that could help unlock things, and can you give me an example of where it did help you? i can think of an example but i'm not sure it's tv friendly! for me, when i was going through psychotherapy, i was writing a show about anorexia, trying to sensitively talk about it,

and i realised both were sensitive, trying to break these things down and build that connection with other people to stop isolation is a huge thing for people with mental illness, and laughing is connecting, but also building that confidence. for example, when i was a teenager, i was constantly running up to my room and exercising, and my mum and dad had sort of known that something was going on and i said, why did you never say anything to me? they said, when your teenage son keeps running up when your teenage son keeps running up to his room and all you can hear is rhythmic banging hollowed by repeated grunting, you tend not to ask questions. i think that's the point. we have to take mental health of its lofty perch and say, this is a real impact in day—to—day life. that's a good point, because it's difficult when you know somebody is going through a difficult time to know exactly what to say, and i guess an element with something like this where parents see their teenager exercising or paying attention to what they are eating and initially that can seem quite a

positive thing. and initially that can seem quite a positive thing-— positive thing. exactly, and that's wh this positive thing. exactly, and that's why this is _ positive thing. exactly, and that's why this is so _ positive thing. exactly, and that's why this is so tricky, _ positive thing. exactly, and that's why this is so tricky, and - positive thing. exactly, and that's why this is so tricky, and that's i why this is so tricky, and that's why this is so tricky, and that's why i don'tjab gps or anyone for missing these. these are complex things, and that's why beat, the eating disorder charity, have a bbc action line appeal and they also have their website, so anybody affected by any of these issues can go online and have a bit of a look and have a chat about it in a down to earth way, rather than an accuser tree or entryway. it’s to earth way, rather than an accuser tree or entryway-— tree or entryway. it's good to talk to ou. tree or entryway. it's good to talk to you- thank— tree or entryway. it's good to talk to you. thank you _ tree or entryway. it's good to talk to you. thank you for _ tree or entryway. it's good to talk to you. thank you for coming - tree or entryway. it's good to talk to you. thank you for coming in i tree or entryway. it's good to talk i to you. thank you for coming in and having a different perspective on how to get the communication going. if you've been affected by any of the issues raised, the bbc action line homepage has contact details for a range of organisations which offer help and support. go to bbc.co.uk/actionline. some more reaction to the fines for people in number ten and the cabinet

office. we arejust people in number ten and the cabinet office. we are just hearing from the leader of the liberal democrats, sir ed davey, that borisjohnson's downing street was fined more times for breaking covid laws than any other address in the country. the full sue gray report should now be published without delay. the public made huge sacrifices while boris johnson parted and they deserve the full truth. on the latest information that we have, 126 fines issued in total from the police. their investigation is now over, so attention turns to when sue gray's report will be published, and the bbc understands it will come in the next couple of weeks because the last tweaks will be made to that report before can be made public. at this point, downing street saying borisjohnson has not currently received notification of another fixed penalty notice over the partygate situation. we know he had

one at this stage. no information that he has had another. we will have the headlines for you in a few moments. now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah keith lucas. after a lively night of weather, with heavy showers, thunderstorms and frequent lightning in southern and frequent lightning in southern and eastern parts, today looks much quieter, so warm, mostly dry, with sunny spells developing. we had missed and murk in england and wales but now clearing away and any isolated showers pushing away from the east coast, so lots of dry weather, long spells of sunshine, and temperatures for 17 to 23 degrees. more cloud in the far north—west and one or two showers for the western isles. overnight tonight, most places looking dry, but we will see more cloud creeping in from the south, ringing the odd spot of light rain or drizzle in the early hours of friday morning. clearer skies further north, but mild and murky where you have low cloud. the rain in the south becomes

heavier and more persistent as it sweeps across central and eastern parts of england with the odd rumble of thunder, then it clears east with a return to sunny spells, blustery showers and 12 to 18. hello, this is bbc news. i'm joanna gosling. these are the headlines: the metropolitan police completes its investigation into alleged breaches of covid regulations at downing street and whitehall issuing a total of 126 fines. ministers face calls to increase benefits and state pensions now to help those struggling with the surging cost of living — the chancellor says he knows things are challenging and says he's ready to do more to help people. russia claims 1,700 ukrainian soldiers from mariupol�*s azovstal steel plant have now surrendered — with 900 sent to a former prison colony in russian—controlled territory. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc

sport centre. good morning. jofra archer's injury nightmare continues, he'll miss the entire season with a stress fracture in his lower back. the fast bowler, who helped england to odi world cup victory in 2019, hasn't played sincejuly because of two elbow operations. this new injury means he looks likely to miss the t20 world cup this autumn in australia with no timeframe set for his return. as rangers fans digest yesterday's cruel loss their manager giovanni van bronkhorst says his players gave everything in their europa league final against eintract frankfurt. rangers lost on penalties after it finished 1—1 in normal time. aaron ramsey missed in an otherwise faultless shoot—out, before the german bundesliga side clinched it to take their place in next season's champions league group stages.

will, of course, a big disappointment. if you play a final in europe and you lose it will hurt. because you pay a final, you will do everything you can to win it and then,in everything you can to win it and then, in the end, you know, with penalties, you know, it is a lottery. and tonight we were not on the good side. but, you know, i can't complain with everything. my players gave today and also the games before this. my players gave today and also the games before this. a big night ahead at the bottom of the premier league. a burnley win at home to aston villa could see them leave the relegation zone and everton could be safe with a game against arsenal left if they beat crystal palace at goodison park. it is what it is. we have got two games left to get two points with a goal a different situation and leads. as i mentioned before, we're not going to write off the game against arsenal. it is again to

content and try to get a result the matter what happens on thursday. we understand the situation. we understand the situation. we understand what we need and what we want and we just to prepare as well as we can to get it. want and we just to prepare as well as we can to get it. a group of non government organisations, including amnesty international, have called on fifa to set up a fund to compensate migrant workers who they say have suffered "human rights abuses" during preparations for the world cup in qatar. amnesty want fifa to at least match the 300 and 50 million pounds world cup prize money for a compensation programme. it's estimated up to 30,000 migrant labourers have been used on projects to build seven stadiums for the finals in qatar. fifa said it was assessing the proposition and was already looking at ways to compensate workers with the organising committee. qatar's organisers say they have worked 'tirelessly�* with international groups for the rights of workers. to golf next where the us pga championship begins later in oklahoma. the defending champion phil mickelson won't be there, he hasn't played since february.

we're just a few hours away from the draw for next week's french open where rafael nadal is looking to win a record—extending 14th title. the spaniard looked in good spirits as he trained with stefanos tsitsipas on wednesday. nadal was knocked out in the third round at the italian open last week after a chronic foot problem flared up during his match against denis shapovalov. nadal says he is 'living with an injury�*. that's all the sport for now. ministers are facing growing calls to bring forward large increases in benefits and the state pension which will be paid from next april. last night the chancellor rushi sunak warned the next few months will tough as he spoke to business leaders about the rising cost of living. one charity in york says that some families are choosing to eat cold food because they can't afford the energy to make a hot meal. heidi tomlinson reports. jay phoenix was referred to york food bank six weeks ago when she began to choose feeding the cat over herself. some shower gel, please. jay is a recovering drug addict.

she has been clean for three years. life was slowly improving until the bills began creeping up. there were four or five days every couple of weeks i was going without food. and itjust got to the point that i was struggling with my mental health. donations here come from the public and supermarkets. referrals have increased by 30% in the last year. volunteers say some stretched families are thinking twice about heating food, as it is cheaper to eat cold meals. people are telling us that they don't have energy to cook and in that situation it it's really heartbreaking to see that. there is some support available to help, but it is not enough. people are distressed. we are seeing people who have never used these services before, who don't know what is available, and have never needed to ask for help with something as simple as food. higher energy bills are hitting millions of people and businesses, as firms pay more to produce goods, they are forced to charge customers more.

inflation today stands at 9%. that's up from 7% last month. prices are rising at the fastest rate for 40 years. an increase thatjohn hind's pension doesn't cover. he keeps a close eye on the thermostat. retirement isn't anywhere near as comfortable as he expected. it is everything. the cost of living. every time my wife comes back from the shop, everything has gone up 10p, 20p like that. and the heating as well that has sort of doubled. how are you managing? well, it's a blanket on a night. not using the heating since about january. john has received help from the citizens advice bureau in york. yes, you do qualify for a fuel voucher.

record numbers are turning to the charity in the face of escalating costs. i think debt is a tsunami coming towards us now. for people in very vulnerable - situations, we can give them food vouchers and fuel vouchers. that kind of support had transformed jay�*s situation. i know i can eat without feeling guilty. i can look after my cat and myself. citizens advice say people should seek help as soon as possible to avoid debt. another line only finds that police have issued. we are hearing that boris johnson's wife have issued. we are hearing that borisjohnson's wife has been told she will face no further action from met police so she received one fixed penalty notice earlier in the process and she has been told she will face no further action from the met police. 126 fines issued in total now and there are a couple of things, obviously, that we are looking out for. in particular, the first point is when will the report be published in full on what

happened during lockdown she was investigating initially. and referred some of the evidence that she had uncovered to the police and thatis she had uncovered to the police and that is what led to these finds another police require to make inquiries over the question is when all have a point he published in the understand it will be in the next couple of weeks. the other parties whether the prime minister has received a second fine and currently what we have been told on that is that at this stage he has not received notification of another fixed penalty notice over the party gained a row. in total, in terms of the numbers of fines, a number have received more than one fine. but we don't know currently. where those have landed. and of course, for most of their spines, we won't know who they were given to because it is all anonymous apart from the prime minister, his wife and the

chancellor. we were told they all received fines initially and downing street has said that if the prime minister received another fine they would say about that. the police investigation is over. just waiting for that final confirmation on the position for the prime minister who currently has not received notification of another fixed penalty notice over the party gauge row. we are continuing to get little developments through. information coming through periodically and we will keep you updated as we hear. this sunday will mark five years since the manchester arena terror attack, which killed 22 people and left many more with life—changing injuries. martin hibbert and his daughter eve were the closest people to the bomber to survive and he was left paralysed. martin is preparing to climb mount kilamanjaro in a wheelchair painted in the colours of his favourite team — manchester united. breakfast�*sjohn maguire met martin

at old trafford this morning. five years ago, martin hibbert experienced the worst followed by the best of humanity. how are you feeling? really good, thank you. you look fantastic. thank you, you do too, as always. really good, thank you. standing with his daughter eve just metres from the suicide bomber at manchester arena, they both sustained horrific injuries. but both survived. martin was brought here to salford royal hospital. you will have come up from the lifts at the end, so from a&e, you would have come up from the lifts at the end and you would have been in one of two pods. if he is meeting up with some of the staff who cared for him on the night and in the following weeks, when bonds for life are formed. we don't get to see often some patients at the end of their journey, we follow them through, we follow them with after—care and things, but actually coming back and hearing how well they're doing and seeing everything he's doing in the news, and that he is taking on new challenges, you know, it's lovely.

he was a good patient but he was a pain in the bum some days. he wanted this, that and the other. expensive aftershave, i said, where do you think you are? you're in hospital, not the lowry. anyway, oh, he was lovely, and then he got to know us, and then hit by bit, he started doing everything himself. he was a great patient. there is great affection and admiration, notjust for the nhs staff but also in return for the patient. and his latest endeavour, to reach the peak of mount kilimanjaro, almost 20,000 feet high. absolutely barking mad, no way. he'll do it. yeah, he'll do it, no doubt about it, but, yeah. since the bombing, martin has also stayed in touch with his neurosurgeon, mr saxena, who removed shrapnel from his body and spine. what is interesting as i went through the notes yesterday, last night, and we actually had a 45 minute conversation before your surgery. really? which you didn't remember. because obviously you were under so much heavy doses of painkiller medication. because of all the bolts and things. i know i was awake and talking

and things, but obviously i don't remember that. for me, it was like three weeks later, to be told, you are alive but you're paralysed, it's like, well, i'll take it, you know. people can't get their head around it but that, to me, i'm just so happy to be alive and if this is it, that's fine, i'll take it. because there's 22 families who weren't so lucky. but again, if it wasn't for you and the team here, then i wouldn't even be sitting here. you know, so there is that as well. this is a very special place for me to come. i always feel, not at home, i suppose at home is the wrong word but i feel that i know something serious happened here and if it weren't for you and the team, i probably wouldn't have survived. during the conversation, martin hears for the first time just how close he came to dying. we looked at the injuries you had sustained all the way from top to bottom, and there was, you know, a reasonable chance that

you might not make it. especially given the injuries to your neck and the blood vessels in your neck. it was quite a horrible thing to see a patient who was communicating to us well enough to, you know, talk to us sensibly and things like that, and still you are thinking, oh, my gosh, is he going to have a stroke? is he going to have significant brain damage? and if that is the case, how will we deal with the other injuries? so thankfully, all the efforts of the intensive care, we managed to keep everything in place to make you well enough to have surgery. so many lives were changed forever that night. ankur tells martin he tries to avoid the part of manchester where the bombing took place. for my professional career, that was the most difficult week. and we talk about this phenomenon of secondary victims. i tried to avoid the ring road which passes through victoria. if i can avoid it i will.

yeah, wow. for five years. i just don't want to see that place. been having a holiday, coming straight here today. he's also forged a friendship with paul harvey, the paramedic who realised martin needed to be treated at a trauma unit. obviously, we didn't know to what extent your injuries were, and how specific they were, but my impression at that time, even the few minutes we spent with you, is, he is seriously injured, he is very poorly, i think we should go to the nearest a&e which was here and it would have been a big difference in the time it took us to get here. and fortunately, they agreed with that and we brought you here and the rest is pleasant history, shall we say. yeah, definitely. paul cannot make the kilimanjaro trip. i can't be there, but that's my big sign of support. a constant reminder of the friend

who he calls an inspiration. i mean, the fact that you decided to do it didn't surprise me at all. because even though i only knew you that short time before you made the decision, itjust didn't surprise me. you know, if it had been a bit cheaper, you might have gone to the moon as well. well, you never know! speak to elon. the following day we catch up with martin at home with his beloved dog alfie. vets diagnosed him with separation anxiety and he lost a lot of weight as his owner spent months away recovering. now they are inseparable. since yesterday's visit to salford royal, martin has had a chance to reflect. seeing mr saxena and it's the first time i've ever heard him say it, he said "i was stood at the side of you talking to you, thinking at the back of my mind, this guy might not survive". that's the first time i've ever heard him say that. so that kind of hit home, just how, i know it was serious but to hear it from him, you know, it kind of, i was a bit quiet for the rest

of the day after that. i was thinking about it on the way home and, yeah, for somebody like him, if he was thinking that, that's serious. his wife gabby prefers to stay away from the hospital. that's how she deals with the trauma of those days spent not knowing if her husband would live or die. but she too experienced incredible professionalism and compassion from the staff. in the first few days, i had a panic attack, which i had never, ever had before. i didn't know how to deal with it, and it was that pure, just, emotion building up and ijust felt like i didn't know whether i wanted to be sick or run out of the door. i just couldn't cope with it. and one of the nurses who was looking after you sat with me and just talked me through it. and was just the calmest person ever. and knew exactly what was happening to me.

i was panicking because it had never happened to me before but then you feel bad because you think, you're spending your time helping me when it should be martin that you're helping. obviously she was as well, but yeah. he is nowjust two weeks away from what could normally be the challenge of a lifetime, but martin has already overcome much, much worse. the kindness of so many strangers, the devotion of his family and friends, and martin's indomitable spirit has brought him so far but, he says, there is further to go. john maguire, bbc news, salford. you love it here? i have been coming here since i— you love it here? i have been coming here since i was _ you love it here? i have been coming here since i was seven. _ you love it here? i have been coming here since i was seven. even - you love it here? i have been coming here since i was seven. even though | here since i was seven. even though there is not a match i still have butterflies when i get up because like i said to you earlier, i turn into a seven—year—old when i come here. every time even though i am 40

odd to now i am still lack a little child when i come here. i love it. those incredible pictures of you working your way up and you're going to do the same again, kilimanjaro. a much different prospect. why? why are you doing it? i much different prospect. why? why are you doing it?— much different prospect. why? why are you doing it? i needed something im ossible. are you doing it? i needed something impossible. something _ are you doing it? i needed something impossible. something that - are you doing it? i needed something impossible. something that when - are you doing it? i needed something impossible. something that when i i impossible. something that when i told everybody that i was doing it everyone turned around and went, he is doing what? i needed it to grab peoples attention. to raise £1 million is a hard thing to do and i did not want to do the usual maritimes and things like that. i wanted to do something that had not been before. something i am risking my life, impossible for even able—bodied people. i have been told it is virtually impossible although i am double—checking that so that might be my next project and they said kilimanjaro is probably the second hardest. isaid, right? let's do it. it has taken a couple of

years with risk assessments and other things. years with risk assessments and otherthings. it years with risk assessments and other things. it is hard for able—bodied people and most people fail. and i thought, perfect. way to make you want to get the message out there. the awareness isjust make you want to get the message out there. the awareness is just as important as well. the £1 million for the spinal injuries association, a charity very close to my heart, is to safeguard the charity and make sure that the great services they have for people with spinal—cord injuries will be given the money to be able to, i suppose, expand that and try to reach as many people as possible with spinal—cord injuries but what was important as well was i wanted people to come into my life. i wanted people to see what life was like with a spinal—cord injury and it is not fully documented anywhere. nobody that and i was conscious every time i am on tv are being interviewed they see a fit, healthy person and what they didn't see was when got rushed into hospital with a urinary tract invasion that turned

into sepsis and i was in hospital for seven days that they don't see the bad days where i am having issues with my bowel, bladder, skin issues. that is what i wanted. i wanted something to get peoples attention and then, when i got peoples attention i could say, right, this is what a spinal—cord injury is. it is notjust about not being able to work. there are many other things you won't see. looking at me as a healthy person. breaking news on police _ at me as a healthy person. breaking news on police fines _ at me as a healthy person. breaking news on police fines for— at me as a healthy person. breaking news on police fines for partygate. i news on police fines for partygate. let's go to our political correspondent. what is the latest? well, we understand borisjohnson will not be facing any more fines over parties in downing street. the metropolitan police have included their investigation and said it has issued 126 fines in total. some of those [and a peoples desk over the next 24—48—hour is. they relate to events on eight states but we understand the prime minister will not be among those receiving another fine. you of course was fined in the

how controversial has that been? if not the women do not seem to have made it back. the love interest in the 805 film has gone public and said that she was was considered too old and fat to come back to this film. which is a bit, oh, dear. he has another love interest who is age appropriate. she does not look 51 but she is 51. he does not look 59. he is 59. another tom cruise film he has played opposite women two decades younger than himself least age—appropriate. val kilmer is back for the character which would be warmly regarded by the people who love the original film. he warmly regarded by the people who love the originalfilm. he is warmly regarded by the people who love the original film. he is a short cameo. he has had throat cancer and can speak these days which makes it more poignant to see coming back. it is difficult to say because i watched itjust before hand. they

this is bbc news. i'm joanna gosling and these are the headlines... it's confirmed borisjohnson will not be receiving any more fines for breaking covid regulations at downing street and whitehall after already paying one for a gathering marking his birthday injune 2020. it comes as the metropolitan police completes its investigation into the alleged breaches — issuing a total of 126 fines. ministers face calls to increase benefits and state pensions now to help those struggling with the surging cost of living — the chancellor says he knows things are challenging and says he's ready to do more to help people. the next few months will be tough but, where we can act, we will. more than 1,700 have left the azovstal steelworks in mariupol

since the start of the week — with around 700 leaving in the past 24 hours.— we'll be answering all your questions on the war in ukraine in a special programme at 12.30pm. meet the thwaites — britain's biggest—ever euromillions winners, who've gone public after scooping £184 million. it's not really for us. we want to share this with our friends and family. loads of people have helped us, we've gone through a lot and we want to be able to pass that back. and soul legend diana ross, queen and duran duran are among the star—studded line—up for the queen's platinum jubilee concert.

the metropolitan police says its investigation into alleged breaches of covid regulations at downing street and whitehall is complete. the bbc understands the prime minister — who was fined last month over a birthday party at downing street — will not be receiving any more fines. in a statement, the met said detectives had fined a total of 126 people — with some receiving multiple fixed penalty notices. an inquiry by senior civil servant sue gray into covid rule breaking is reportedly due for release within the next couple of weeks; its publication had been put on hold while the police investigated. our political correspondent is helen catt. helen, an unfolding situation, the latest development being it is understood the prime minister will not be getting any more fines. yes. not be getting any more fines. yes, as ou not be getting any more fines. yes, as you said. — not be getting any more fines. yes, as you said, these _ not be getting any more fines. yes, as you said, these fines _ not be getting any more fines. i:3 as you said, these fines have been issued, the police investigation has

concluded. 126 vines in total have been issued. not all of those have landed, some will be landing of the next 2a to 48 hours landed, some will be landing of the next 24 to 48 hours but the bbc understands that the prime minister will not be receiving a further fine. he has of course been fined for one event, that on the 19th of june 2020, which was a birthday gathering in the cabinet room. he was fined along with the chancellor and his wife. the bbc understands that there will be no further fines for borisjohnson. we have a bit more information actually about the investigation itself. we know that there were 12 dedicated officers who were working on this. they have gone through a lot of documentation, 345 documents, including e—mails, door locks, diary entries and witness statements. they sent out 204 questionnaires and look through 510 photographs and cctv images. we are not expecting that the police will give any more detail on why they have or have not issued fixed penalty notices for particular people but there is a clue perhaps

in what the acting deputy commissioner helen ball said earlier. she said that they look very carefully into whether this was someone�*s home wasn't someone�*s home. someone's home wasn't someone's home. �* ,., , someone's home wasn't someone's home. �* , ., someone's home wasn't someone's home. �* ,., , ,, home. and so in terms of next steps then, home. and so in terms of next steps then. helen. — home. and so in terms of next steps then. helen. we _ home. and so in terms of next steps then, helen, we are _ home. and so in terms of next steps then, helen, we are waiting - then, helen, we are waiting obviously to see when the sue gray report is published.— report is published. yeah, this was the re ort report is published. yeah, this was the report done — report is published. yeah, this was the report done by _ report is published. yeah, this was the report done by the _ report is published. yeah, this was the report done by the senior - report is published. yeah, this was the report done by the senior civill the report done by the senior civil servant sue gray he was initially tass would look into these gatherings at downing street and across whitehall. she had put the publication of her report on hold until the police investigation was concluded. there have already been calls for it to be now published. the prime minster had said he would publish and then address the house of commons once they police investigation has concluded. the senior conservative mp has already asked in the commons today that this is done next week. we understand that between monday to thursday next week would be a likely timeframe for

that. the leader of the house of commons says he sees no reason not to. so we would perhaps expect that to. so we would perhaps expect that to come out in the coming days. now, it is unlikely we'll see any of those 510 photographs in that but the expectation is that we might get some detail, some description of exactly happened. find some detail, some description of exactly happened.— some detail, some description of exactly happened. and so, helen, we are now getting _ exactly happened. and so, helen, we are now getting confirmation - exactly happened. and so, helen, we are now getting confirmation that - are now getting confirmation that the prime minister has been told by the prime minister has been told by the metropolitan police that he faces no further action and he will not receive a second fine for breaching covid laws, street confirming that. in terms of the reaction from mps and others, how do things stand now?— things stand now? well, this is auoin to things stand now? well, this is going to be _ things stand now? well, this is going to be interesting - things stand now? well, this is going to be interesting isn't - things stand now? well, this is going to be interesting isn't it i going to be interesting isn't it because speaking to mps over the course of recent weeks, certainly at least some of them see the event that the prime minister did receive a fine four as being on this sort of lower end of the scale, if you like. it is of course a breach of the law, he has been fined for that. he has accepted that. but as i said, some mps saw it as a breach of the lower end. so i think it is going to be

interesting to see whether that changes the thinking, the dynamic between those who had been really quite angry about all this and of course what comes out of the detail of that sue gray report. does that change things too? so i think that is the key extent that this in terms of working out what conservative mps think about this and whether there is any movement, as there was a few months ago, towards perhaps ousting the prime minister.— the prime minister. thank you very much, the prime minister. thank you very much. helen- _ the met police's acting deputy commissioner helen ball has issued a statement saying: when covid regulations were introduced, the met was clear that whilst we would not routinely investigate breaches of regulations retrospectively, there may be occasions when it would be appropriate to do so. the information that we received with regard to the alleged breaches in downing street and whitehall was sufficient to reach our criteria to begin such an investigation. our investigation was thorough and impartial and was completed as quickly as we could, given the amount of information that needed to be reviewed and the importance of ensuring

that we had strong evidence for each fpn referral. this investigation is now complete. now let's speak with adam wagner, barrister and covid legal expert. we have spoken to him in a number of occasions as this has unfolded. welcome. what are your thoughts than now that the police investigation has concluded and we know there is a total of 126 vines. i has concluded and we know there is a total of 126 vines.— total of 126 vines. i think there is a total of 126 _ total of 126 vines. i think there is a total of 126 people, _ total of 126 vines. i think there is a total of 126 people, i— total of 126 vines. i think there is a total of 126 people, i think - total of 126 vines. i think there is a total of 126 people, i think thati a total of 126 people, i think that is what the bbc is now reporting. it is what the bbc is now reporting. it is a bit unclear from the met statement. i think the bbc report says that between a number of people received two and five fixed penalty notices, so it maybe that there are more than 126 fixed penalty notices, it is not clear. but overall i think it is not clear. but overall i think it is not clear. but overall i think it is worth standing back and saying there were eight illegal gatherings at downing street over the course of

2020 to 2021. at all those gatherings i guess will be fairly defined as parties, which downing street has always denied. it is difficult to see how they are anything but if the police gave out criminal penalties in respect them. and is worth asking how that happened. how that pattern of behaviour was allowed to happen. why there seems to have been a lackadaisical approach to the rules that these people themselves were creating during the pandemic. and i think now is a good time obviously when the sue gray report is published to take stock of that. i have gone back to the police statement because obviously you are making the point that you understand that it making the point that you understand thatitis making the point that you understand that it is 126 people, so potentially more than 126 referrals for fixed potentially more than 126 referrals forfixed penalty potentially more than 126 referrals for fixed penalty notices. potentially more than 126 referrals forfixed penalty notices. the police statement says that in total 53 people fined one man, 73 were

women. and 126 referrals for fixed penalty notices were made. with some receiving more than one for expensive notice. so you are right, thatis expensive notice. so you are right, that is 126 people affected. so we have the kind of continue to scrutinise the numbers but i mean in terms of where things fall now, helen cat saying that the minister received one fine and mps have been mulling over their response. the thinking, she suggested, was that the fine, the event that the prime minister received the fine for is at the low end of the scale. how do you sit? ~ ~ ., , ., ., sit? well, i think that is what a lot of peeple — sit? well, i think that is what a lot of people assume _ sit? well, i think that is what a lot of people assume i - sit? well, i think that is what a lot of people assume i think. sit? well, i think that is what a l lot of people assume i think one thing i know from my practices is that you never know the facts of what is actually happening in an investigation unless you're part of the investigation. so we can assume lots of things but not now. we do

know that police gave out fixed penalty notices for six gatherings the prime minister attended and one of which, his birthday party, got fixed penalty notice for. one of which, your bring your own booze party, he was in his own garden. and the otherfour i party, he was in his own garden. and the other four i think the leaving parties. and it maybe that the prime minister argued that he had a reasonable excuse because he only intended to give a speech, erase a class and that's part of his working day. it is what he does as the prime minister. maybe that is why they decided they couldn't be sure that he committed an offence whereas perhaps other people who stayed into the night and drank, they could be sure that that wasn't reasonably necessary for work. i don't know. i mean, without the police saying why they haven't given more more to minister wejust don't they haven't given more more to minister we just don't know. but thatis minister we just don't know. but that is where we are left. i mean, in our that is where we are left. i mean, in your experience _ that is where we are left. i mean, in your experience of _ that is where we are left. i mean,

in your experience of these - that is where we are left. i mean, in your experience of these finesl in your experience of these fines through covid, how easy it has it been to define where something crosses the line?— crosses the line? well, i mean, these are _ crosses the line? well, i mean, these are quite _ crosses the line? well, i mean, these are quite extraordinary i these are quite extraordinary because the police didn't generally look retrospectively at fixed penalty notices. they would give them on the spot if they came across someone. maybe they would give them the next day if they were reported. but the prime minister and the officials fell into the policy which the met had which essentially was designed for these kind of issues, where a gathering or an offence was so flagrant and could undermine the legitimacy of the law that it would be investigated retrospectively. so there is much of a precedent for this kind of approach. and also there isn't much, there isn't really any court interpretation yet, would you believe, of these rules and what reasonable excuses mean. so it would

have been difficult for the police, predicted with all the pressure of knowing that there were political consequences of whatever they did, whether they did or didn't give fixed penalty notices. it would have been difficult for the police and they may have been airing on the side of caution to make sure that they didn't open a pandora's box for other potential issues. you know, when the premise attends a leaving do, gives a speech, whether that is participation in an illegal gathering than it could open the door to others. ijust don't know. as i say, it is very difficult to know. without having seen the investigation documents and also the police reasoning, which they haven't explained. police reasoning, which they haven't exlained. �* ., ., ~ police reasoning, which they haven't exlained. �* . ., ~' ,, let's talk to bloombergs uk political editor kitty donaldson. welcome. where do you think this leaves the prime minister and others now that the police investigation is complete? now that the police investigation is comlete? ., ., .,

balance, probably, the prime minister has ridden this out. thank ou ve minister has ridden this out. thank you very much _ minister has ridden this out. thank you very much indeed _ minister has ridden this out. thank you very much indeed for - minister has ridden this out. thank you very much indeed forjoining us. it is time to say goodbye to any viewers watching us on bbc two. thanks for your company. and we're going to go back to kirti. sorry, kitty, ada richey that because we had to say goodbye to viewers on bbc two. just picking up there with where you were, please. sure. sorry, i'lljust try and remember are a sign. basically it was the point _ remember are a sign. basically it was the point that _ remember are a sign. basically it was the point that things - remember are a sign. basically it was the point that things have i remember are a sign. basically it i was the point that things have been volatile and there are sticky moments but overall your sense is that the prime minister will have ridden this one.— ridden this one. yes, i think that is riaht ridden this one. yes, i think that is right because _ ridden this one. yes, i think that is right because it _ ridden this one. yes, i think that is right because it has _ ridden this one. yes, i think that is right because it has been i is right because it has been dripping on for so long now. six months or so, maybe more. and i think the prime minister by refusing to go when he was at the most acute pressure, i think the decision was made then and he has ridden out. and of course the water has been muddied

somewhat by the fact that durham police are now looking into keir starmer as well over the so—called big eight allegations. i don't think in the conservative party that seems to be the grounds that it might ground swell of rebellion. you see groups talk on corners all the time wondering if the prime minister is right on thejob wondering if the prime minister is right on the job i think on partygate things are going to draw to a close. barring any major surprises by sue gray next week. find surprises by sue gray next week. and talkin: surprises by sue gray next week. and talking you mention obviously sir keir starmer now been investigated over 21, and he has raised the bar by saying that if he gets a fine he will resign because he has repeatedly said that the prime ministers should resign. i repeatedly said that the prime ministers should resign. i think he has ut ministers should resign. i think he has put himself— ministers should resign. i think he has put himself under— ministers should resign. i think he has put himself under enormous l has put himself under enormous pressure. he is a must backed himself into a corner with his statements. he took the moral high ground and that is absolutely one position to take. and therefore he has to fall on his sword if he gets

a fixed penalty notice. the difficulty will be if the police scold him but he doesn't get a natural fine, scold him but he doesn't get a naturalfine, in which scold him but he doesn't get a natural fine, in which case there will be a slightly grey area and we will be a slightly grey area and we will wait to see happens there. find will wait to see happens there. and what is your — will wait to see happens there. and what is your view of the wider impact of all of this? because this is something that tapped into people's feelings in a very strong way, the thought that people making the rules were not following them in the rules were not following them in the same way that others were. and it cut through in a way that sometimes stories at westminster don't. what you think the longer term impact could be? i don't. what you think the longer term impact could be?— don't. what you think the longer term impact could be? i think that absolutely true _ term impact could be? i think that absolutely true and _ term impact could be? i think that absolutely true and actually i i term impact could be? i think that absolutely true and actually i talk| absolutely true and actually i talk to pollsters about this, people who conduct polling, and voters tend to see things through the prism of where they are at the moment. so when the dominic cummings visit to barnard castle happen, everyone was in lockdown, everyone was fed up and therefore it played much worse in therefore it played much worse in the public mind. i think people have moved on, they're more concerned now

about the cost of living, by their energy bills, buy their food about the cost of living, by their energy bills, buy theirfood bills and that is the prism through now they are seeing this. covid seems quite a long time ago to most people. they have moved on and therefore the government has got other problems on its hands and will need to address those problems instead. . ~ need to address those problems instead. ., ,, , ., , . need to address those problems instead. . ~ , ., , . ., instead. thank you very much for 'oinin: instead. thank you very much for joining us. _ instead. thank you very much for joining us. kitty _ instead. thank you very much for joining us, kitty donaldson. i government ministers in the uk are facing calls to bring forward increases in state benefits to help with the rising cost of living. rises in the state pension and other benefits are scheduled for next april but campaigners want them introduced immediately. inflation in the uk has hit a 40—year high of 9%. in a speech to business leaders last night, the chancellor rushi sunak warned the next few months will be tough. our political correspondent jonathan blake reports. thank you. high and getting higher.

prices are rising faster than they have for decades. and we don't need inflation figures to tell us that. the rate at which goods are getting more expensive will be a worry for the chancellor, who last night warned of harder times ahead. there is no measure that any government could take, no law we could pass that can make these global forces disappear overnight. the next few months will be tough. but where we can act, we will. more than a hint of help to come for households struggling with soaring bills. he also said he would cut taxes on businesses to encourage them to invest. inflation this high, now at 9%, has not been seen in the uk for 40 years. and looking back, figures show that when it rises to such a level, it can take years and not months as currently forecast to come down again. debate is raging in government about what to do and when to ease the rising cost of living.

opposition parties and some conservatives say action is urgently needed. during the pandemic we saw an emergency response and i think the emergency is different now. but it still requires emergency response. a lot more needs to be done, a lot more needs to be done. that's why we absolutely need a windfall tax sooner rather than later. the oil companies have made £40 billion of profit. with no letup in sight for families feeling the effects of economic shocks from covid and the war in ukraine, the government is still weighing its options. but under increasing pressure to act. jonathan blake, bbc news. with me now is annabel denham, director of communications at free market think tank, the institute of economic affairs. welcome, thank you very much indeed forjoining us. so where do you

think things should go from here? sure. well, ithink think things should go from here? sure. well, i think when it comes to the inflation side that it is really in the hands of the bank of england. yes, they are limited in the number of levers they can pull to address it but part of the reason that we are in this situation is that the bank of england allowed massive increase in the supply of borrowed money over the course of the pandemic. and what it must do now is to bring back down inflation expectations. it needs to restore credibility by raising interest rates by at least an additional half a percentage point. and that way we will avoid getting into some sort of wage rise inflationary spiral that the bank of england the second fearful of but of course conservative ministers and the wider public are as well. so that is one side of it is addressing the fact that £500 billion was printed by the bank of england during the pandemic,

it is a staggering sum which cause very little public debate and left is in a situation where ultimately too much money which has been exacerbated by the rise in global shortages following that strong post—pandemic rebound that we saw in 2021. on the government side, to address the cost of living, my view is that it urgently needs to cut taxes, vat on energy bills, green levies, it should really reconsider the recent hike in national insurance contributions because what we need to remember when we talk about the cost of living and we don't hear this much from politicians is actually for most people the highest cost of living is the taxes that they pay. an average smoking and drinking family pays about £190 a year in green levies, nearly £900 into tobacco levies and over £200 in alcohol duty. so if we

can abolish these or at least half of them then we could see the average family saving about £1000 a year. when it comes to universal credit the government is officially under immense pressure to increase it. ithink under immense pressure to increase it. i think there is some merit in that argument but we have to be wary that argument but we have to be wary that it that argument but we have to be wary thatitis that argument but we have to be wary that it is room for increase spending is pretty limited. so it would be better were able to cut taxes. and whilst households themselves are feeling the pinch the government should be feeling the same. it needs urgently to address the soaring levels of government spending that we saw, particular the pandemic but this has been building up pandemic but this has been building up for some time now over successive conservative governments. it needs to essentially go line by line through all government spending and see where there are areas that this could be cut, massive projects like hsz could be cut, massive projects like hs2 can be justified could be cut, massive projects like hs2 can bejustified in could be cut, massive projects like hs2 can be justified in the current

let's get some more on the end of scotland yard's investigation —— scotland yard's investigation —— scotland yard's investigation into parties at downing street and whitehall. the investigation is ended with 126 people being fine. the acting deputy... we have now got to the end of your investigation into gatherings at downing street and the cabinet office. having got to the end of it, do you think it was appropriate that the police should be investigating social activities of people write about a government?— activities of people write about a rovernment? ~ , , .,, i. government? well, yes, as you say we have reached — government? well, yes, as you say we have reached the _ government? well, yes, as you say we have reached the end _ government? well, yes, as you say we have reached the end of _ government? well, yes, as you say we have reached the end of our _ have reached the end of our investigation into downing street and whitehall. when i look back and think about starting our investigation, we knew that we were going to apply three criteria to

decide whether we should investigate. those criteria are being that people involved knew or ought to have known what they were doing was a breach. that not investigating would undermine the legitimacy of the law. and that there was probable absence of a reasonable defence. as we reach today and we conclude that investigation, i think it is clear to me that starting the investigation was right, those criteria were met and we referred 126 expensive notices to be issued. so in order, essentially, to a the legitimacy of the law so that this is something that you had to do? yes, i think that's right. there were three criteria, they all applied in this case. there was a great deal of public concern about these events at the time and upholding the legitimacy of the law was one of the criteria that we

applied. let's hearfrom sir keir starmer. what the investigation has shown is industrial scale lawbreaking in downing street, 120 orso lawbreaking in downing street, 120 or so fines. that reflects a culture and the prime minister set the culture. what i want to see now is the full sewer grate report published, there are no further hiding places for the prime minster on that. yes, i also want to see the government laser focused on the issue that is uppermost for people which is the cost of living crisis. wherever i go people come up to me and say i can't pay my bills and the goodman is not doing anything about it. what they want to see is action. at the moment all they've got is a government running round like headless chickens not known what to do in the middle of the cost of living crisis. in do in the middle of the cost of living crisis.— do in the middle of the cost of livin: crisis. ., �* ., , living crisis. in saying that, boris johnson has _ living crisis. in saying that, boris johnson has only _ living crisis. in saying that, boris johnson has only been _ living crisis. in saying that, boris johnson has only been fined i living crisis. in saying that, boris. johnson has only been fined once, living crisis. in saying that, boris i johnson has only been fined once, it was for a surprise birthday that he didn't know anything about. you can't seriously still be calling him to resign can you? 128

can't seriously still be calling him to resign can you?— to resign can you? 120 fines in downin: to resign can you? 120 fines in downing street _ to resign can you? 120 fines in downing street lawbreaking i to resign can you? 120 fines in i downing street lawbreaking when to resign can you? 120 fines in - downing street lawbreaking when the prime minister said all laws were followed. that is a culture that the prime minister has responsible for but don't want to see the prime minister focus but don't want to see the prime ministerfocus on but don't want to see the prime minister focus on cost of living crisis? yes. that is why we pressed the vote on the windfall tax because what we want to see is up to £600 taken off the energy bills of people across the country, those most in need, paid for by a windfall tax on the profits that the oil and gas companies in the north sea didn't expect to make. that is a practical answer to the most pressing question. what are the prime minster do? he voted it down and he has got nothing to say to the people who are tossing and turning in their beds unable to know how they can to pay their bills. just unable to know how they can to pay their bills. , , ., , unable to know how they can to pay their bills, , ., , ., i. their bills. just on this, are you still call of _ their bills. just on this, are you still call of the _ their bills. just on this, are you still call of the parameter i their bills. just on this, are you still call of the parameter to i still call of the parameter to resign? we have the results now of the met investigation? mr; resign? we have the results now of the met investigation?— the met investigation? my view of the met investigation? my view of the prime minister _ the met investigation? my view of the prime minister hasn't - the met investigation? my view ofl the prime minister hasn't changed. 0f the prime minister hasn't changed. of course, after investigation says 120 plus breaches of the law in downing street because he should

resign. he is responsible for the culture. he also needs to focus on the cost of crisis because people are really struggling with their bills. inflation is up, prices are rock, wages are down and the government is imposing tax on them at the same time. and he has got no answers. he had the opportunity. one of the answers is staring the prime minister in the face, a windfall tax to reduce bills by up to £600 for those that most need it on the profits that oil and gas companies didn't expect to make. i think the prime minister will u—turn on this but by the time he has done that so many people will have struggled with their bills for so much longer. considering the prime minister was fine for a party did know anything about, are you concerned that actually the police may well find new in the end?— actually the police may well find new in the end? .,, ., , new in the end? there was no breach ofthe new in the end? there was no breach of the rules — new in the end? there was no breach of the rules by _ new in the end? there was no breach of the rules by me _ new in the end? there was no breach of the rules by me or— new in the end? there was no breach of the rules by me or anybody - new in the end? there was no breach of the rules by me or anybody in i new in the end? there was no breach of the rules by me or anybody in my. of the rules by me or anybody in my team. i am confident about that and therefore there is no comparison to be made here. 5ir therefore there is no comparison to be made here-— be made here. sir keir starmer on the end of— be made here. sir keir starmer on the end of the _ be made here. sir keir starmer on the end of the police _ be made here. sir keir starmer on the end of the police investigation| the end of the police investigation into parties at downing street and
