the force said a total of 126 fixed penalty notices have been issued. 28 people have received between two and five fines. downing street have said that the prime minister has been told there will be no more action against him, after he was fined last month for an event on his 56th birthday injune 2020. the conclusion of the police investigation opens the way for the publication of the senior civil servant sue gray's report into government lockdown breaches, which could be published as early as next week. the labour leader, sir keir starmer, is awaiting the outcome of an investigation by durham police into whether he breached covid rules. he has promised to step down if fined. our political correspondent, alex forsyth, reports. behind the closed doors of downing street, and in the office buildings of whitehall, the rules were being broken. while the rest of the country couldn't meet friends and

family, people here gathered, even in the number ten garden, built to bring their own bottle. now the police investigation into so—called partygate is finished. in total, 126 fines were issued for events on eight states. the prime minister has already had one, as has his wife. they are not facing any further action, but what is now clear is the extent to which the rules were broken. ., , , extent to which the rules were broken. . , , ., ., ., broken. there has been a thorough investigation. _ broken. there has been a thorough investigation, and _ broken. there has been a thorough investigation, and rightly _ broken. there has been a thorough investigation, and rightly so, - investigation, and rightly so, because, of course, those of us who set rules get additional scrutiny. that's understood. some of these party should not have happened at the prime minister acknowledged that, for that. he paid a fixed penalty for the one about he was at and others will pay theirs as well. there were failings and we acknowledge that. we acknowledge the anger some people will feel. fix, acknowledge that. we acknowledge the anger some people will feel.— anger some people will feel. a team of 12 detectives _ anger some people will feel. a team of 12 detectives worked _ anger some people will feel. a team of 12 detectives worked through - anger some people will feel. a team | of 12 detectives worked through more than 300 documents and over 500

today, is keen to keep the pressure “p today, is keen to keep the pressure up but, despite saying he didn't break the rules, he's facing an ongoing police investigation into his own actions. mi; ongoing police investigation into his own actions.— his own actions. my view of the prime minister _ his own actions. my view of the prime minister hasn't - his own actions. my view of the prime minister hasn't changed. his own actions. my view of the - prime minister hasn't changed. after an investigation that says 120 plus breaches of the law in downing street, of course he should resign. he is responsible for the culture. he is responsible for the culture. he also needs to focus on the cost of living crisis because people are really struggling with their bills, inflation is up, prices are up, wages are down and the government is imposing tax on them at the same time. ~ ., imposing tax on them at the same time. ~ . . ,, , , time. what happened in these rooms in breach of— time. what happened in these rooms in breach of lockdown _ time. what happened in these rooms in breach of lockdown rules _ time. what happened in these rooms in breach of lockdown rules has - time. what happened in these rooms in breach of lockdown rules has cut i in breach of lockdown rules has cut a long political shadow. number ten might hope they can put it behind them but the real question might be can the public? alex forsyth, abc news, westminster. our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford, is outside the metropolitan police headquarters at new scotland yard. what is the gravity of what the met

the law being undermined at a time of national emergency was a very important issue and that's in the end why the police carried out this investigation and have issued 126 fines. at least one person got five different fines.— different fines. thank you, daniel sandford. 0ur political correspondent helen catt joins me from westminster. the police investigation has drawn to the close but this is the end of it? ,., . ., , to the close but this is the end of it? ,_ a, , ., it? the police administer today sa in: it? the police administer today saying the _ it? the police administer today saying the police _ it? the police administer today saying the police consider- it? the police administer today saying the police consider this | saying the police consider this closed but now we get the start of the political fallout will stop you heard the labour leader still saying the prime minister should resign because he believes he is responsible for the culture in downing street. keir starmer has himself said he would resign if he is found to have broken covid rules. the prime minister this lunchtime was said by his spokesman to have apologised for the events and how they were handled and what happened after, but it's conservative mps who

hold his immediate future in their hands, and previously they were very angry about this. it wasn't for many of them the end of the police investigation they were waiting for but the publication of the report by the senior civil servant sue gray. today a senior conservative, mark harper, who previously called for the prime minister to step down, askedif the prime minister to step down, asked if that report could be published next week, so we are waiting to see what detail is in there. i think the fact that the prime minister has not been issued with any further fines is likely to calm some of the dismay on the conservative backbenches. the sue gray report isn't the last thing either. there is going to be a commons investigation into what the prime minister has said in the house of commons, so still some way to go. helen catt at westminster. the united nations has warned the war in ukraine could lead to mass hunger and globalfood shortages for millions of people. the secretary—general, antonio guterres, said the conflict could lead to poorer nations facing famines for many years

if ukraine's exports, which include vast amounts of sunflower oil and wheat, are not restored to pre—war levels. the conflict has also contributed to the steep rise in the cost of living here, with inflation in the uk hitting 9% this week, meaning prices are rising at their fastest rate for a0 years. 0ur correspondent caroline davies reports from 0desa. ukraine's wheat helps to feed the world, but while most of its ports remain closed, much of it is beyond the world's reach. over 3,000 tons of grain fill yuri's warehouse, but because of issues transporting it out of the country, no—one wants to buy it. translation: | don't know - who in the world to ask for help. we would like to be helped to sell this grain at any price, as long as the people don't go hungry. i think that all western countries should help us. you need to bang your fist on the table, open the ukrainian

ports, stop the russian invasion and take out this grain. how do you feel knowing that there are many people around the world that would be desperate for this crop? translation: there is a feeling of despair. - i'm talking now with tears in my eyes. it's hard to say. yuri's problems are faced by farmers across the country. this crop is due to be harvested in just over a month's time, but the farmers here still have no idea where they are going to store it or how they are going to get it out of the country. some goods can be taken out by road, others by rail, but it's not in the same quantities that used to be transported by sea. ships aren't able to move because of the restrictions imposed by the war, and the sea has also been mined, which could take months to remove. andre is the owner of one of the largest ports in ukraine. we have about 80 ships that are basically ghost ships in ukraine right now.

the crews have left them, some of them are full, some of them are empty, they are in the ports or outside the ports, they are standing idle, and for the crews to come back, their shipping companies have to get clearance from insurance companies, and these insurance companies are obviously not happy to allow this to happen because the sea is full of mines. how long do you think it will be until you can reopen the port again? we have no idea when we will be able to reopen the port. we are facing a disaster that is going to happen in the next few weeks when the new crop is here and the old crop is not exported. russia and the ukraine produce 30% of the world's wheat, and without it, the un has warned there could be a globalfood crisis. it threatens to hit tens of millions of people over the edge into food insecurity, followed by malnutrition, mass hunger and famine and a crisis that could last for years. russia has said sanctions imposed on it would need to be looked at if the world wants to solve the crisis. while many in the west will feel that russia is holding safe passage

through the sea hostage, if no agreement is reached, ukraine's crops could rot while others starve. caroline davies, bbc news, 0desa. business leaders have called on the government to take further action immediately to tackle the rising cost of living and safeguard the uk economy. in a speech last night, the chancellor, rishi sunak, warned the next few months would be tough and said the government was "ready to do more" to help the most vulnerable. our business correspondent theo leggett reports. smiles and applause as the chancellor stood up to address business leaders last night. with inflation soaring and the economy stuttering, he is under pressure to find answers. 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. it was all rather sobering

for those in the room, but his promise to act was welcomed. it was great to hear that the chancellor said he would act where he could. i think he did throw a challenge down for businesses themselves to continue to invest, and i think businesses do respond to that, but i think what they will say is, look, there are things the chancellor can announce now about what he will do on our long—term strategy for our economy. but the chancellor's options are limited. he's already suggested there could be tax cuts for businesses that promise to invest. he could provide targeted help for poorer consumers, with energy bills, for example. a windfall tax on energy companies' soaring profits could help pay for it. and he could bring forward increases in state benefits and pensions due in april. one big problem is that rising prices affect the poorest people the most and, although things like state benefits and state pensions do go up in line with inflation, the increase doesn't

take effect straightaway, so while people are grappling with higherfood prices and energy bills now, they won't see higher incomes until next april, and there are growing calls for that to change. our economy is driven by consumer spending. without people having pounds in their pockets to go out and buy products for the businesses, we will risk getting into that terrible recessionary spiral, and we have got to avoid that. wage rises, support forfamilies, is what we need now. the chancellor has made it clear painful times lie ahead for consumers and businesses. but pressure for him to minimise the pain will only grow. theo leggett, bbc news. the closing arguments are being heard in the so—called wagatha christie case at the high court. rebekah vardy is suing coleen rooney for libel after she was accused of leaking stories about mrs rooney to the press. 0ur correspondent colin paterson is outside court. what's been said today? it's been another dramatic _ what's been said today? it's been another dramatic morning. -

and said that the agent had destroyed whatsapp messages and rebekah vardy had destroyed whatsapp messages and lied under oath about doing so. at this point, rebekah vardy picked up her laptop and left court. she returned an hour later and missed being described as an entirely unreliable witness. coleen rooney's team concluded their arguments by saying they had proved the accusations in her original its rebekah vardy�*s account post were true to tip this afternoon is the turn of rebecca's legal team to make their closing arguments. our top story this lunchtime... the metropolitan police concludes its investigation into breaches of covid regulations in downing street and whitehall. 126 fines are issued in total. and coming up... it could have been you — the lucky couple who've scooped £181; million.

travel link with that region. health officials are investigating how and where they caught it. they think that monkeypox might be spreading in the community but they say the risk of infection is still low. the symptoms start with fever, headache, fatigue, there can be a rash, it usually starts around the face and it can spread to other parts of the body and it can change to look a bit like chickenpox before forming a scab. it is usually mild and people recovered after a few weeks. monkeypox spreads through very close contact with infected people, so, skin to skin contact through coughs and sneezes, but also touching bedding or clothing, used by someone who is infected. so far, the nine cases in the uk have all been detected in england, mostly in london. the advice is to look out for unusual rashes and legions and contact nhs111 if you're concerned. katharine da costa, many thanks.

people. it concluded that the prime minister himself did breach the law on one occasion, the birthday gathering injune 2020, but that his attendance at other gatherings which he has told the house of commons about it not. the police investigation has now concluded but thatis investigation has now concluded but that is not quite the end of the story. what we are expecting soon as the publication of the report by the senior civil servant sue gray, which is expected to carry more detail. ultimately what happens next for the prime minister, though, is in the hands of conservative mps, and i think the fact that he has not received multiple fines may go some way to helping him with that. heieh way to helping him with that. helen catt, thank way to helping him with that. helen catt. thank you- — time for a look at the weather, with ben rich. thank you and good afternoon, we have had a bit of drama from the weather over the last 24 hours, you may not need me to tell you that if you live in central or eastern england because last night there was thunder and lightning, really dramatic scenes, and looks pretty
