issued, 28 people have received between two and five signs. downing street has said 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. labour leader sir keir starmer is awaiting an outcome of an investigation by durham police into whether he breached covid rules. he has, is to step down if he is fined. 0ur 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 a number ten garden, told to bring their own bottle. now the police investigation into so—called partygate has finished. in total, 126 fines were

issued for events on eight dates. 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.— the rules were broken. there has been a very _ the rules were broken. there has been a very thorough _ the rules were broken. there has. been a very thorough investigation and rightly so because, of course, those of us who set rules get additional scrutiny, that is always understood and some of these parties should not have happened. the prime minister has acknowledged that, he has apologised for that. he paid the fixed penalty for the one event that 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. aha, 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 photos during an investigation that cost almost £500,000 and went to the heart of government. i cost almost £500,000 and went to the heart of government.— heart of government. i think it was very important _ heart of government. i think it was very important to _ heart of government. i think it was

changed. 0f my view of the prime minister hasn't changed. of course, after investigation that shows 120 plus breaches of the raw 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 castl in breach of lockdown rules has cast a long political shadow. number ten might hope they can put it behind them. the real question might be, can the public? alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. 0ur can the public? alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford has been following the investigation and has this assessment of his findings. essentially, which we have discovered is that towards the end of the first lockdown, right through the time when some bulls remained in place and then right through the second lockdown, there were people in downing street and the cabinet

office who were breaking the rules, office who were breaking the rules, people who are doing things they weren't supposed to be doing under the coronavirus rules that night after night after night we were having repeated to us on our television screens. why did the police get involved? they made it quite clear they were only going to get involved if they were seeing people who should have known what fuels are, well obviously, in this case they clearly knew what the rules were because they were making the wolves, who didn't have a reasonable excuse, it seems like 83 people 126 occasions did not have a reasonable excuse and critically when the legitimacy of the law was being undermined, and that was a critical factor for the metropolitan police and the view has been taken that the legitimacy of the law being undermined at a time of national emergency was a very important issue and in the end that is why the police carried out this and issued an hundred and 26 fines. at least one person got five different fines. daniel sandford there. let's speak

tojill rutter, senior fellow at daniel sandford there. let's speak to jill rutter, senior fellow at the uk in a changing europe, which is an organisation that carries out independent research on uk — eu relations. she is a former senior civil servant in downing street. thank you very much forjoining us, jill rutter. how much comfort could the prime minister now take from this, the metropolitan police investigation is over and he hasn't received a further fine? the prime minister will _ received a further fine? the prime minister will no _ received a further fine? the prime minister will no doubt _ received a further fine? the prime minister will no doubt be - received a further fine? the prime minister will no doubt be deeply . minister will no doubt be deeply relieved he has not received further fines. i think part of the problem, though, for the prime minister is also the met police in your clip or talking about this thorough investigation taking place, because they are not releasing any names, nor are they actually telling us what criteria they have deployed, they have just decided some

people have been finding other people have been finding other people who may have been at these events have not been, i think there are still some questions for the prime minister to answer about these events, even if he doesn't seem to have been thought his staff has been found for. ~ ., , . ., , found for. what difference does it make what _ found for. what difference does it make what sue _ found for. what difference does it make what sue gray _ found for. what difference does it i make what sue gray recommends? i think it is really interesting, with sue gray's report, where she is updating her report, potentially for publication next week, that she did talk in her redacted report that we got at the end ofjanuary, talk in her redacted report that we got at the end of january, about failures of leadership and got at the end ofjanuary, about failures of leadership— got at the end ofjanuary, about failures of leadership and a culture takin: hold failures of leadership and a culture taking hold in _ failures of leadership and a culture taking hold in downing _ failures of leadership and a culture taking hold in downing street - failures of leadership and a culture taking hold in downing street that| taking hold in downing street that both didn't particularly think the rules applied there, but also was rather impervious, if you like, to the attitudes and the rest of the country. so i think that is the next critical step in this. to see what sue gray really says, to what extent she holds the political leadership in downing street, in number ten, which is also the prime minister, and the civil service leadership in number ten, the prime minister's very senior staff in downing street, most of whom have now departed, and

the cabinet secretary, to what extent she holds them responsible for allowing that culture to take hold. �* ., ., for allowing that culture to take hold. �* . ., ,, for allowing that culture to take hold. �* ., ., i. ., hold. bearing in mind what you have heard over the _ hold. bearing in mind what you have heard over the last _ hold. bearing in mind what you have heard over the last few _ hold. bearing in mind what you have heard over the last few weeks - hold. bearing in mind what you have heard over the last few weeks about| heard over the last few weeks about these gatherings and investigations into them, what does it tell you about the culture in government and how it might have changed since you were a civil servant?— were a civil servant? well, we were not -a were a civil servant? well, we were not party central — were a civil servant? well, we were not party central all _ were a civil servant? well, we were not party central all the _ were a civil servant? well, we were not party central all the time - were a civil servant? well, we were not party central all the time i - were a civil servant? well, we were not party central all the time i was | not party central all the time i was there, but nor were we working in these sort of completely unique atmospheres of managing a very prolonged crisis. i think what probably happened was that people were coming into the office, most people were under orders who worked in offices at least to work from home, so people have been working very long hours under huge pressure and couldn't go out, so the normal things you might do to celebrate a colleague leaving, go to the pub with them or... those did not happen, so you start to get into the culture of bringing drink and to the office and that then evolved into,

well, if we are all in the office anyway, we might as well have a celebration for, you know, the person who is nextjumping off the ship and going somewhere else. so it looks as though it may have developed like that, but hopefully thatis developed like that, but hopefully that is where sue gray really does shed some light, based on her interviews with those civil servants because at the moment we haven't got very much transparency at all funny match. they told us the what in terms of breaches, but they haven't really shed any light at all on the why and i think that was what we will be looking to sue gray to do. how naive is it for an ordinary member of the public to expect people working in government in whitehall from the prime minister down to behave differently, to have more regard for the law? hat down to behave differently, to have more regard for the law?— more regard for the law? not at all naive, it more regard for the law? not at all naive. it is — more regard for the law? not at all naive. it is a _ more regard for the law? not at all naive, it is a perfectly _ more regard for the law? not at all naive, it is a perfectly reasonable l naive, it is a perfectly reasonable and legitimate expectation. indeed, people in downing street and the cabinet office should be, if you like, super conscious of the fact

that they really, really need to lead by example, so actually, rather than think, can we get away with this within the rather badly drafted regulations we have put through? they should be thinking, even if we could get away with it, what would it look like if we did this? and i think the instant pests that i think people in those sorts of positions of power should be taking is, if i were sitting down with someone, could i explain to anyone here why i would have thought it was ok to party and i am telling you it is not ok to do that? on of my colleagues 0k to do that? on of my colleagues were saying, you know, won the parties they were fired on was the date of her birthday, when she rather than have friends round, ordered a meal in her house for her to help with her flatmate, ordered a meal in her house for her to help with herflatmate, so i think everybody is doing that sort of compare and contrast on all those dates, what was i doing because i thought that was what i had to do to obey the law and why on earth are

these people at the centre of government, who should have no more than anyone else what the law was intended to do, why did they think they were about that? what intended to do, why did they think they were about that?— intended to do, why did they think they were about that? what do you make of sir— they were about that? what do you make of sir keir— they were about that? what do you make of sir keir starmer's - they were about that? what do you make of sir keir starmer's claim i make of sir keir starmer's claim that he will resign if he is found to have broken the law is, once the investigation by durham police is over? given that the prime minister hasn't seen fit to resign after receiving a fixed penalty notice? well, that is oversee a political decision by sir keir starmer and a personal decision. i think he actually occupies, if you like, and even more extreme position. he is not prime minister, wasn't making the world, but he is a former lawyer and former director of prosecutions and former director of prosecutions and he instantly, when the prime minister was just and he instantly, when the prime minister wasjust being minister was just being investigated, before he was actually found guilty of any breach, had said that was enough to suggest the prime minister should resign. so clearly, if he insists the prime minister seeks that, then i think he is right to think he has to apply it to

himself. 0ne to think he has to apply it to himself. one of the things that will be a very interesting, though, is to what extent the durham police are looking at some of the things supplied by the metropolitan police to apply that in their own investigation and that is something i have no idea how exchange of information, whether they happen between police forces or whether they are completely independent, so i think it will be very interesting and i'm sure keir starmer will be sitting there thinking it will be an incredibly unfair result if he ended up incredibly unfair result if he ended up because of his commitment having to resign and the prime minister just going on regardless, but that is the decision came true when he made that statement a couple of weeks ago. jill made that statement a couple of weeks ago-— made that statement a couple of weeks a . o. , ., ., weeks ago. jill rutter, from uk in a chanauin weeks ago. jill rutter, from uk in a changing europe — weeks ago. jill rutter, from uk in a changing europe and _ weeks ago. jill rutter, from uk in a changing europe and former - weeks ago. jill rutter, from uk in a changing europe and former so i weeks ago. jill rutter, from uk in a i changing europe and former so senior civil servant in downing street, thank very much. in plymouth last november,... the court heard that cody ackland, was 2a, carried out a prolonged attack on bobbi—anne mcleod to satisfy his fascination

bobbi—anne mcleod and we can only imagine the things that he did to her. the thoughts are continually going around in our minds. why bobbi—anne mcleod? why make her suffer? to know herfinal bobbi—anne mcleod? why make her suffer? to know her final hours were spent being tortured destroys us inside. bobbi—anne mcleod was so loved and had so many life plans. he cruelly ripped that life away from her and us. we cannot even contemplate a future without her in it. there will never be anything the justice system can impose that will ever come close to what he deserves. we do want to say thank you to everyone. there is no piece of paper, bulletin board, flyer or anything big enough out there on which we can say thank you. the help

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. we will be and we'll be answering your questions on the cost of living

hardest part. it is about being able to be _ hardest part. it is about being able to be open— hardest part. it is about being able to be open with the people we love and being _ to be open with the people we love and being able to share amazing adventures with them all. yes. the only bands — adventures with them all. yes. the only bands the _ adventures with them all. is; the only bands the couple say they have for the money so far is a holiday and a new car. they fully admit it will be some time before they have got their heads around just what to do with their huge fortune. joining me now is norma cassius. she's a psychotherapist based in harley street and money management consultant. thank you very much forjoining us. these winners touched on the shock they felt in winning this amount of money, but what is the emotional arc that lottery winners tend to go through in your experience? itruiheh through in your experience? when they initially _ through in your experience? when they initially win _ through in your experience? when they initially win the _ through in your experience? when they initially win the lottery, i through in your experience? tween they initially win the lottery, they go to a range of emotions and feelings, which range from happiness, gratitude, the positive ones to anxiety, fear and stress

because it is so overwhelming, and do so, with those feelings they are having to deal with, as a psychotherapist, one of the things that people tend to neglect is their emotions and their feelings because their lives are going to change for real, right? and with those life changes, a lot of people don't have the containment all the support to help them go through that process, so as i said, with anxiety, the whole thing is so overwhelming, how do i manage not only their expectations about what they want to do with the money, but other people like family and friends will have expectations of how they should spend their money, what they should do with it and when they should do this, that in itself causes a lot of psychological issues because it is so much to with, an unexpected event and, yes, and also when you actually

announce that fact that you have one, ratherthan announce that fact that you have one, rather than remain anonymous, as this couple have decided to do right, people come out of the wood works, a long lost cousin who people come into contact with you, whether this is a yes moment or an 0, my god moment, it is going to evoke emotions like anxiety and happiness and having to manage those... it is incredible, but when it comes to finances nobody thinks of the psychological impact it has on you because if you don't have much money and you have a bill to pay and you haven't got the money to pay it, of course that is going to cause anxiety. 0n the other hand, if you do have money and you... a lot of people have a lot of money fear losing it, which also causes anxiety and stress, so the two go hand—in—hand and i would definitely say forjoe and his wife, before they spend large amounts of their money they will need to really get

financial education and financial therapy because, as i said, as they are going through the process of these changes in the life, they are going to need containment, they have got to know how to go through it... so how do you suggest, who would you suggest they approach for that kind of help? because you want to enjoy this? it is a post make your life better and obviously there are lots of downsides if you're not in a position to cope for somebody like myself, in a management consultant and someone who deals with financial consultancy. there are not a lot of people are skilled to do both. you might have to separately see financial advisor or manager management consultant is well as a therapist. i would really recommend because they're going to be a lot of emotions going through you and the mind and you're going to have to

really be able to contain that as well as manage your money because you want your money to be a blessing not to burden so you want to be able to enjoy it and to be able to enjoy it you need to be to have the knowledge and understanding of how to make that happen for you. good to talk to you. thank you very much. it would be nice to try and see what it's like, wouldn't it? weather now. last night brought dramatic weather for some with severe thunderstorms particularly at central and eastern parts of england but the letter today thing seems a lot quieter. england and wales of the chow down to the south northern ireland some shares at times, quite visit the northwest. quite breezy, timber is up to aberdeen, 22 the high in london. through this evening and tonight a less dramatic night in prospect cloud drifting up from south outbreaks of a later and some showing of ain't getting into western counties of northern ireland. in the north—west of

wales have called up the uncapped nathan broadhead to their squad for next month's world cup play—off final — with the sunderland striker having scored 13 goals in 26 games on loan from everton this season. and there's a place in the squad for this man — gareth bale — despite his limited game time for real madrid. it was his two goals against austria that gave rob page's side a place in the final, where they'll face scotland or ukraine. leicester goalkeeper danny ward and bournemouth striker kieffer moore also return from injury. the tottenham women's forward chioma ubogagu has been banned from sport for nine months after an anti—doping violation. she was tested by uk anti—doping in october last year and her sample contained the banned substance canrenone. ubogagu joined spurs injuly last year and will not be available again until october 2022. an fa hearing found she did not take the substance deliberately and used it for a "recognised medical condition." but it said she had taken "no steps to check if the medication contained banned substances.

"i am so sorry to my team—mates and staff that i can't be out on the pitch." 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 £350 million 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. the spotlight will be on the bottom

of the premier league as burnley and everton have a huge opportunity to ease their relegation concerns. villa head to turf moor and a win for burnley would see them leave the bottom three. meanwhile, everton could guarantee their safety with a win against crystal palace at goodison park. it is what it is. we've got two ames left to net probably two games left to get probably two points with the gold different situation with leeds and as i've mentioned before we are not going to write of the game against arsenal. it is a game to go on and contend think get a result no matter what happens on thursday so we understand the situation, we understand what we need and what we want and we just have to prepare as well as we can to get that. england fast bowlerjofra archer is going to miss the entire season with a stress fracture in his lower back. archer's had a pretty rough time of it recently — he hasn't played cricket since last july after two elbow operations. this new injury could cause him to miss the t20 world cup this autumn in australia, as there's no timeframe set for his return. it's a blow to england, who are without seven fast bowlers

welcome to your questions answered. viewers have been sending in their questions on the rising cost of living and with us to answer them is a personal finance expert and ceo at money magpie dot—com and our economics correspondent andy verity. welcome to both and there are lots of questions over wide—ranging subjects are let's make a start. first a broader one from chantelle in birmingham. why are prices rising so fast? . . . in birmingham. why are prices rising so fast? , _, ., ,y ., in birmingham. why are prices rising sofast? , ., ,, so fast? this is an easy one because of an answer— so fast? this is an easy one because of an answer all— so fast? this is an easy one because of an answer all week _ so fast? this is an easy one because of an answer all week basically. it i of an answer all week basically. it is to do with a series of shocks to supply. prices of about supply and demand. if you have lots of demand and lots of people wanting to buy stuff the price tends to go up. people selling things think they can jack up the price and someone will still want it. if you have lots of demand for goods are not in supply prices rise and that exactly what

has been happening. we have a global reopening of the economy post—pandemic in huge demand as people went back to the shops, went back to work and yet supply that is already happening and we are already getting the fastest inflation in 30 years before the war in ukraine but that aggravated matters because they export lots. the russians export gas obviously but ukraine is a big exporter of wheat and cooking oil and that is when you have seen those prices shoot up because again demand exceeds supply. share prices shoot up because again demand exceeds supply-— exceeds supply. are any parts of the well farinu exceeds supply. are any parts of the well faring britain _ exceeds supply. are any parts of the well faring britain and _ exceeds supply. are any parts of the well faring britain and europe? i- well faring britain and europe? i think europe has the same inflationary problem is the best of the world. it is a global phenomenon. if you look at inflation in the united states for example it is that cage down a bit. that compares with our 9% and they are 8.3%. europe lost count 7.5%. you have a high inflation in the world and it is a global phenomenon which is although the government might do something to help people with it by

spending money that is not what the government can do to stop it. raising domestic interest rates doesn't do anything to lower global prices. this is a global inflationary inferno. you can't put it out by doing domestic things. i going throw you if i ask you what is happening in asiano, eight you're not going to throw me because i can see exactly the same thing. thea;r not going to throw me because i can see exactly the same thing. they had the same inflationary _ see exactly the same thing. they had the same inflationary pressures i see exactly the same thing. they had the same inflationary pressures of i the same inflationary pressures of the same inflationary pressures of the limb places like china they do control prices more strongly. ids, the limb places like china they do control prices more strongly. a man in cheshire — control prices more strongly. a man in cheshire says _ control prices more strongly. a man in cheshire says why _ control prices more strongly. a man in cheshire says why do _ control prices more strongly. a man in cheshire says why do we - control prices more strongly. a man in cheshire says why do we have i control prices more strongly. a man in cheshire says why do we have to | in cheshire says why do we have to play standing orders for gas and electricity metres because he doesn't seem to think that other countries do that. it is doesn't seem to think that other countries do that.— countries do that. it is a good oint countries do that. it is a good point and _ countries do that. it is a good point and it — countries do that. it is a good point and it is _ countries do that. it is a good point and it is something i countries do that. it is a good point and it is something thatj countries do that. it is a good i point and it is something that has become _ point and it is something that has become more noticeable recently, particularly with the lifting of the price _ particularly with the lifting of the price cap. — particularly with the lifting of the price cap, where quite a number of people _ price cap, where quite a number of people have found that their standing order, the standing charge, went up— standing order, the standing charge, went up as _ standing order, the standing charge, went up as well as the unit charge.

30% over the past year and you're unlikely to get that meeting itself in the coming year and therefore the jump in the coming year and therefore the jump between this year and next year is unlikely to be as big and inflation is unlikely to come down. how that interest rates. {lii inflation is unlikely to come down. how that interest rates.— inflation is unlikely to come down. how that interest rates. of the city the trade how that interest rates. of the city they trade swaps — how that interest rates. of the city they trade swaps based _ how that interest rates. of the city they trade swaps based on - how that interest rates. of the cityj they trade swaps based on interest rates the traders there are betting that you will get interest rates at 2.5% or 3% sometime next year but no higher than that's of the 15% rate would have been used in the early 90s or even higher rates in 70s and 80s, the city is not predicting they will get there. 80s, the city is not predicting they will get there-— will get there. thank you. robin asked what _ will get there. thank you. robin asked what suppose _ will get there. thank you. robin asked what suppose is - will get there. thank you. robin asked what suppose is that i will get there. thank you. robin asked what suppose is that the l will get there. thank you. robin i asked what suppose is that the young people struggling with prices. houses are unaffordable, rents are high in wages and pension schemes are relatively low. there is a lot for people to have to juggle. for people to have to 'uggle. there is and i thinkh

the most money? do we increase benefits for pensioners or do we aim to help the young? is there a way that we can do a bit of both? but, yes, this is a conversation that we all need to have because i personally consider that the heel generation, the millennial is, have had a really tough particularly when it comes to housing and they have come out of university with huge debts which the baby boomers didn't have. there is an inequality there but it rather depends what age you are, which side of the venture arm. just to my question i think my daughter— just to my question i think my daughter started university and started — daughter started university and started to vac up in student debt and their— started to vac up in student debt and their interest rate is a to cpi so was _ and their interest rate is a to cpi so was going to be back 12% in the coming _ so was going to be back 12% in the coming year because it is 3% under the cpl _ coming year because it is 3% under the cpl a — coming year because it is 3% under the cpi. a lot of students don't realise — the cpi. a lot of students don't realise they are already backing up their interest from at studying because — their interest from at studying because they don't have to pay it ttack— because they don't have to pay it

with it. —— lagging behind prices —— state pension keeping up with it. they suspended it last year when all the people went on to furlough and had only 80% of their pay and when it came off fellow lookalike page so pay inflation is artificially distorted high and the government said it would be unfair to follow that number in this case and therefore we are going to suspend it and only pay price rises this year but now that looks unfair because of what has happened since. that decision was taken last september when inflation was 3.1% and that is what benefits are linked to and prices are now rising by three times as much and that is why it is hard for anyone on benefits and pensioners and hard—working families who have such meagre wages they're topped by benefits and those benefits when they dropped up to a pandemic have a temporary booster and not keeping up with inflation and not keeping up with inflation and that is where the real pressure from charities and unions and state of the government. you could spend

good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. the metropolitan police have completed their investigation into breaches of covid regulations at downing street and in whitehall. the force said a total of 126 fixed penalty notices have been issued, 28 people have received between two and five fines. downing street has said the banister has been told there will be no more action against him, after he was signed last month for an event on his 56th birthday in june 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 regulation rules. he has promised to step down if he is 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 in the number ten garden, told to bring their own bottle. now the police investigation into so—called partygate has finished. in total, 126 fines were issued for events on eight dates. 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. there has been a thorough investigation, and rightly so, because, of course, those of us who set rules get additional scrutiny. that's understood. some of these parties should not have happened and

the prime minister acknowledged that, apologised for that. he paid a fixed penalty for the one 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. a team of 12 detectives worked through more than 300 documents and over 500 photos during an investigation that cost almost half £1 million and went to the heart of government. it was very important to carry out the investigation and extremely important to do it in a painstaking and thorough way. we have carried out an impartial investigation and i think the results show that there was an issue there to be investigated. what matters, of course, is whether there is any further fallout here. there is no doubt this saga has been damaging for borisjohnson. such was the anger among conservative mps, at one point his political future was in question. that has now calmed and the fact the prime minister isn't getting another fine will help him, but the full report by the senior civil servant sue gray is still to come, and that will shed a light on the culture

and leadership in downing street. the labour leader, on a visit to leeds 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. 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 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. what happened in these rooms 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. alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster.

our home as there is correspondence daniel sandford has been following the investigation and has this assessment of his findings. essentially what we have discovered is that from towards the end of the first lockdown right through the time when some rules remained in place and then right through the second lockdown, there were people in downing street and in the cabinet office who are breaking the rules, people who were doing things they were not supposed to be doing under the coronavirus rules that night after night, we were having repeated to us on our television screens. why did the police get involved? well, they were made it quite clear they were only good to get involved if they were seeing people who should have known what the walls are... well, obviously in this case they clearly knew what the walls are because they were making the rules. who didn't have a reasonable excuse, and seems like 83 people on 126 occasions did not have a reasonable excuse. and critically, when the legitimacy of the law was being

undermined. that was a critical factor for the metropolitan police and the view has been taken that the legitimacy of the law being undermined at a time of national emergency was a very important issue and that is in the end by the police carried out this investigation and haveissued carried out this investigation and have issued £126. at least one person got five different fines. daniel sandford, our political correspondent, dave lockhart, is in westminster, let's run him now. david? , :, , , westminster, let's run him now. david? , :, _ :, westminster, let's run him now. david? , :, ,y :, ,, :, david? yes, obviously now we know the met police _ david? yes, obviously now we know the met police investigation - david? yes, obviously now we know the met police investigation into - the met police investigation into those parties in downing street and other government buildings gets complete. a grand total of 106 26 fines issued, only one of those lines going to be prime minister —— thatis lines going to be prime minister —— that is 126 signs. many people say now it is time to put this behind him, so others would say that is one find too many of the prime minister should still go. i'm joined now by the leader of the liberal democrats, so ed davey. thank you forjoining

from sue gray to come and also the parliamentary committee investigating whether or not boris johnson misled the house of commons, something he denies doing, so it might be the end of the police investigation, but still an issue we are likely to be talking about for some time yet. fin are likely to be talking about for some time yet.— are likely to be talking about for some time yet. are likely to be talking about for some time et. : ,, some time yet. on cue, indeed, sue gra 's some time yet. on cue, indeed, sue gray's report — some time yet. on cue, indeed, sue gray's report likely _ some time yet. on cue, indeed, sue gray's report likely to _ some time yet. on cue, indeed, sue gray's report likely to be _ some time yet. on cue, indeed, sue gray's report likely to be published l gray's report likely to be published as early as next week. let's speak to sepp pain, a reporterfor the financial times. welcome. now this met police of investigation is done and dusted, and he only got one fine, in other words he only boy below one i think you will certainly sleep a little easier tonight because if we go back to the ordeal of the partygate scandal in february before the ukraine or kicked off, it felt as if borisjohnson was in the ropes, those letters of as if boris johnson was in the ropes, those letters- ropes, those letters of no confidence _ ropes, those letters of no confidence or _ ropes, those letters of no confidence or increasing l ropes, those letters of no - confidence or increasing pretty rapidly in his position and now today those letters are actually being withdrawn and i have spoken to a couple of mps being withdrawn and i have spoken to a couple of mp5 on the left of the tory party said, you know what? it

wasn't as bad as all that. he got that one fine for the party where he was allegedly ambushed by a cake, but some of the reporting... he was investigated for eight events, so for borisjohnson this is pretty much the best outcome you could ask for. obviously the ideal outcome for him would have been if he had not been fined at all, but the fact is he received that one fine, he has not received any more and nor has his wife, carriejohnson, nor has the chancellor, rishi sunak and know has the cabinet secretary, simon case, but there has been 126 fines issued in total at the way the met police have gone about this is quite mind—boggling, it is really hard to understand who has been fined for what and why and we still have no idea and no doubt will never know, but for the prime minister i think you will be very happy today. bind you will be very happy today. and that investigation cost over £100 million, which is eye watering. how might the pressure ramp up again, though, in light of sue gray's final

report was before the met police got involved in the partygate saga, sue gray, who is a very senior whitehall adjudicator, was gray, who is a very senior whitehall adjudicator.— adjudicator, was investigating -a ate adjudicator, was investigating partygate and _ adjudicator, was investigating partygate and had _ adjudicator, was investigating partygate and had this - adjudicator, was investigating partygate and had this big - adjudicator, was investigating j partygate and had this big full report that was due to be published at the end of january, but when they met got involved she had to stop work, and now she will start her work, and now she will start her work again at pace today and will be doing that for the next week or so and we'll be expecting that full sue gray report to come out before parliament rises for a brief recess at the end of next week, so that report is going to be critical, is my understanding. it will criticise the management, culture and quite lax attitude towards kernel coronavirus rules in downing street and elsewhere, but we will have to wait to see what is in it because the met confirmed today there were 300 voters and 500 odd written pieces of evidence about partygate, but we don't know if all that is going to be in the public domain and downing street have said there will be some data protection issues, meaning some things will not be

published, but that is the last hurdle with regards to partygate for borisjohnson. it could still be damaging at might be damaging to him personally, but if he gets over that he could survive the scandal. what he could survive the scandal. what if he is found _ he could survive the scandal. what if he is found to _ he could survive the scandal. what if he is found to have _ he could survive the scandal. what if he is found to have misled parliament?— if he is found to have misled parliament? if he is found to have misled arliament? ~ :, , :, , , parliament? well, obviously, when the prime minister _ parliament? well, obviously, when the prime minister gave _ parliament? well, obviously, when the prime minister gave his - parliament? well, obviously, when the prime minister gave his mea i the prime minister gave his mea culpa for parliament, he corrected the record and if that is the case he will have to do that again. there is of course another investigation, which is parliament's privileges committee, which is looking to the case of whether he knowingly misled parliament. that will kick on for some months, but i don't feel like thatis some months, but i don't feel like that is going to be a big problem for him either.— that is going to be a big problem for him either. apologies. is that -- are you _ for him either. apologies. is that -- are you 0k — for him either. apologies. is that -- are you ok because _ for him either. apologies. is that -- are you ok because i - for him either. apologies. is that -- are you ok because i got - for him either. apologies. is that | -- are you ok because i got some —— are you ok because i got some water there? -- are you ok because i got some water there?— water there? just a frog in the throat. water there? just a frog in the throat- the — water there? just a frog in the throat. the bbc _ water there? just a frog in the throat. the bbc has _ water there? just a frog in the throat. the bbc has not - water there? just a frog in the throat. the bbc has not gone| water there? just a frog in the - throat. the bbc has not gone quite that far, but i'm ok at the moment. goodness me, these are straightened times! laughter. what about the cultural changes that might come about as a result of sue gray's report? does have any teeth

to make sure things do change in future? rules are if they are a bit tighter and clearer?— rules are if they are a bit tighter and clearer? ~ :, , :, , , ., and clearer? well, obviously we have seen a culture _ and clearer? well, obviously we have seen a culture change _ and clearer? well, obviously we have seen a culture change with _ and clearer? well, obviously we have seen a culture change with the - and clearer? well, obviously we have seen a culture change with the new. seen a culture change with the new structure in number ten, with boris johnson's new chief of staff, steve barclay, the conservative mp and new head of policy, mr griffith, and the idea was to better connect downing street to the political party and tried to force a sense of rigour and order there, tried to force a sense of rigour and orderthere, but tried to force a sense of rigour and order there, but of course this is mach three of borisjohnson's downing street we have been through. mark one, which ended in tears at mach two, which also ended in tears, so you might think if you look at this current incarnation it might have slightly short odds in terms of how it is going to end, but some cultural things that might be announced, there is talk in whitehall that the prime minister to announce an alcohol ban, except for formal functions announce an alcohol ban, except for formalfunctions in announce an alcohol ban, except for formal functions in downing announce an alcohol ban, except for formalfunctions in downing street. also talks of things in terms of the civil service, so once the investigations are complete departments will go to parliament and it's been how things like this

won't happen again. he has apologised several times and i imagine it will be an even more humble mea culpa to try to draw a line under this finally next week or in earlyjune. line under this finally next week or in earlyjune— in early june. thank you for soldiering _ in early june. thank you for soldiering on. _ in early june. thank you for soldiering on. sorry. - in early june. thank you for soldiering on. sorry. don'tl soldiering on. sorry. don't apologise. _ soldiering on. sorry. don't apologise, these - soldiering on. sorry. don't apologise, these things i soldiering on. sorry. don't- apologise, these things happen. there is a kitchen in millbank, they will make you a cup of tea orjust help yourself on your way out. sepp pain, thank you very much. you're watching bbc news, it is 3:17 p m. musician has been given a life sentence for murdering 18—year—old bobbi—anne mcleod last november. the court heard that cody ackland, 2a, carried out his morbid fascination with serial killers on the girl. he will serve a term of 31 years. with the background to the case isjenny kumah. just a warning, her report contains details you may find distressing. cody ackland appeared to be a normal bloke, according to his friends. a guitarist in a local band,

he had no prior convictions and wasn't known to the police. but detectives say he lived a double life and had a secret, morbid fascination with serial killers. today, the full details of his random attack on teenager bobbi—anne mcleod were revealed in court for the first time. the student was just 18 when she disappeared. her family say she lit up the lives of everyone she met. bobbi—anne was waiting at this bus stop to go into town to meet her boyfriend. cody ackland drove past, saw her, parked up, then he sneaked up behind her and hit her over the head with a claw hammer twice. he took her to this remote part of dartmoor, where he murdered her in a frenzied attack. he then drove almost 30 miles to try to hide her body in a wooded area near the coast. the next day, he went for pizza with a friend, attended band practice and drank into the early hours. but three days after the murder,

he turned himself in, confessed, and told police where bobbi—anne's body was. his presentation was calm, it was coherent, and it was measured. no contrition, no remorse, and nothing that i would view as being close to an apology. how much responsibility for the crime was he taking in those interviews? ackland has sought to blame absolutely everybody else for his crime apart from himself. but the only person that can give us more detail as to why he committed such a callous and sadistic act is ackland, and, to date, he's refused to do so. ackland's phone was full of photos of serial killers and other grisly images of death. in the days leading up to the attack, he searched on the internet for potential murder weapons and remote locations. this was a crime that sent shockwaves through plymouth. communities came together and held vigils to mourn, and to raise concerns

about women's safety. today, the mcleod family paid tribute, saying she was the best daughter and the best sister. they now know the details of what happened, but they continue to be tortured by questions over why she was murdered. jenny kumah, bbc news. in the last hour, detective superintendent mike west from devon and cornwall police read out a statement on behalf of the family of bobbi—anne. bobbi was a beautiful girl who [it up our lives and the lives of everybody that she met. she was kind, funny and loyal. she was the best daughter, the best sister, and the best friend to so many people. everybody who knew bobbi loved her. we've been robbed of our beautiful girl in the worst possible way and our lives will never be

the same without her. i want cody ackland to know that he has taken away our world. we will never see her beautiful face or hear her laugh, see her get married or have the children that she so wanted. so many everyday things have been taken away. her not being here is still unimaginable. our lives have changed forever. we've not been able to say goodbye to bobbi—anne and we can only imagine the things that he did to her. the thoughts are continually going around in our minds. why bobbi—anne? why make her suffer? to know her final hours were spent being tortured destroys us inside. bobbi—anne was so loved and had so many life plans.

he cruelly ripped that life away from her and us. we can't even contemplate a future without her in it. there will never be anything the justice system can impose that will ever come close to what he deserves. detective superintendent mike west from devon and cornwall police. business leaders have called on the government to take immediate action 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. andy cooke, the new chief inspector of constabulary, the police watchdog, has said the the cost of living crisis may trigger an increase in crime and that officers should use "discretion" when dealing with crimes of poverty.

joining us from birmingham to discuss this is tom mcneil, assistant police and crime commissionerfor assistant police and crime commissioner for the west midlands. thank you forjoining us, what do you understand by the threes crimes of poverty? you understand by the threes crimes of ove ? ~ ~ , of poverty? well, i think it is still clear— of poverty? well, i think it is still clear and _ of poverty? well, i think it is still clear and has _ of poverty? well, i think it is still clear and has been - of poverty? well, i think it is still clear and has been for. of poverty? well, i think it is - still clear and has been for many, many generations that when people can't feed their family, when they can't feed their family, when they can't afford rent, when they are at risk of being homeless, then it leads to desperation and unfortunately, sometimes that leads some people to committing crime or, in the case of a lot of young people, it makes them vulnerable to exploitation into organised crimes such as car theft and drug dealing. those are the kinds of things we are talking about and actually, we have really said to the government, please do more to help people in crisis and deep poverty because if you don't, unfortunately, we feel we are going to see a rise in crime. i0 are going to see a rise in crime. to what extent are we seeing that increase in crime, then, because of the cost of living crisis? how do you even measure it and know that is

what is causing it?— what is causing it? well, i think over the last — what is causing it? well, i think over the last ten _ what is causing it? well, i think over the last ten years - what is causing it? well, i think over the last ten years with - what is causing it? well, i think over the last ten years with the | over the last ten years with the government's austerity regime, we have seen a rise in some very serious forms of crime, including youth violence. most experts have commentated at indeed people close to it on the ground see that poverty has actually increased the risk of young people getting pulled into that crime, so we have already seen what property does. what we are really worried about is that this new cost—of—living crisis, which everyone has seen coming at the government has been giving a lot of warning, is going to create that rise on the ground stop people on the ground are seeing it on its way. how do you measure that, though? how to prove that is what the causes? you will see a rise in crime rates, you see a rise in reports of shoplifting, and you might see other forms of crime giving a rise in violent and that is recorded in police data, so they won't be any ambiguity about it.— ambiguity about it. what sort of discretion. _ ambiguity about it. what sort of discretion, though, _ ambiguity about it. what sort of discretion, though, is _ ambiguity about it. what sort of. discretion, though, is permissible, desirable, given that a law may have

been broken? irate desirable, given that a law may have been broken?— been broken? we are absolutely clear, been broken? we are absolutely clear. there _ been broken? we are absolutely clear, there is _ been broken? we are absolutely clear, there is no _ been broken? we are absolutely clear, there is no excuse - been broken? we are absolutely clear, there is no excuse for - been broken? we are absolutely i clear, there is no excuse for crime. where crimes are committed, there does need to be consequences. but what we are really interested in is making sure that reoffending does not happen and that we don't have victims as a result of a failure to address the causes of crime. it is very well evidenced at a lot of police forces do it and west midlands police proudly do it, we divert people for a repeat offending such as shoplifting towards the kind of support that helps keep them away from crime, so that could be anything from tackling addictions, tackling mental ill—health, but poverty is a major cause of that and sometimes it is about steering people away to support services, whether it is food banks all support in accessing other funding. whether it is food banks all support in accessing otherfunding. those are effective ways of preventing crime. it is absolutely right that the police look at those kinds of options. the police look at those kinds of o tions. : the police look at those kinds of otions. : , , . :, :, options. the new chief inspector of the constabulary, _ options. the new chief inspector of the constabulary, andy _ options. the new chief inspector of the constabulary, andy cooke, - the constabulary, andy cooke, though, is saying that crimes of

poverty should be dealt with in the best way possible with discretion by police officers. to what extent is it with the gift of a police officer to offer that discussion, as opposed to offer that discussion, as opposed to the courts when they are deciding how to deal with someone when they are found guilty?— are found guilty? police forces all over the country _ are found guilty? police forces all over the country do _ are found guilty? police forces all over the country do this - are found guilty? police forces all over the country do this already. | are found guilty? police forces all| over the country do this already. it is not a new thing. but let me give you a tangible example that really illustrates this point well. in the west midlands we have a programme called her new chance, which was designed specifically for vulnerable women caught in a cycle of offending. very often these are women who are victims of domestic abuse and caught up in crimes associated with abuse and are often living in deep poverty. rather than sending them through a very, very expensive criminaljustice process, which doesn't do is address the causes of their offending, they are actually diverted away to specialist help, holistic support, which much more successfully steered them away from the crime and i must say evidence shows this, it is really, really effective, it means less

victims, less crime and less cost. tom mcneil, assistant commissioner of crime for the west midlands, thank you very much for talking to us, we appreciate it. 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. our correspondent, tim muffet, is at the high court. what has the court been hearing today? yes. the high court. what has the court been hearing today?— following six days of evidence, cross—examination, revelations and rebuttals. today we have been hearing the closing arguments. coleen rooney and wayne rooney were not in court today, it was explained they had a long—standing travel arrangement with their children and they had expected the trial to be over by now, which is why they were not here today. but this morning we heard from david sherborne, the lawyer representing coleen rooney and he said that her post in 2019, when she accused rebekah vardy of leaking stories about her was substantially true. he said that

rebekah vardy had regularly and frequently leaked information to the sun newspaper and that if she had approved or condoned the actions of caroline watt, her then agent, then ultimately rebekah vardy was responsible. he described rebekah vardy as an entirely unreliable witness and he accused her of lying under oath in court. he said there had been the deliberate deletion and destruction of evidence. now, by this he was referring to certain whatsapp messages and also a missing phone belonging to caroline watt, which she said was dropped into the north sea. he described this excuse as fishy and he pardoned the pan. this afternoon we have been hearing from hugh tomlinson, the lawyer representing rebekah vardy. he said coleen rooney's post had been a serious defamatory accusations that caused serious and widespread harm and said many of coleen rooney's lawyers had been nothing more than a conspiracy theory and that he too had not been established. he said

that his client, rebekah vardy, had been subject to lengthy, hostile and aggressive cross—examination, which she found difficult and stressful and that she simply did not know what had happened. she accepted that her then agent, caroline watt, could have lead to some information and that rebekah vardy had made mistakes, but he said one of those mistakes, but he said one of those mistakes possibly was to trust miss caroline watt. ultimately, he said that for this case, for all the sometimes light—hearted coverage of it, the wagatha christie description, for example, this case it is about the abuse rebekah vardy has suffered as a result of some of the accusations, which he said beggar belief. he is talking to the court right now and it will then be “p court right now and it will then be up to thejudge court right now and it will then be up to the judge overseeing this to come up with her verdict. many expect this to be a reserved judgment, which will mean we won't hear the conclusion today. it could be weeks, could even be months before we finally reached the conclusion to this extraordinary trial.

— began on tuesday and is ongoing. with the latest, here's joe inwood in lviv. so these reports would take the total number who had surrendered and left the azovstal steel works to 1730. and i'm... of those who understand a severely wounded and have been evacuated but the rest of been taken to facilities in the donetsk people's republic. couple of questions what happens next? we have heard debates in the russian duma, the balancing some of them members of the azov battalion should be treated as prisoners of war but should be treated as war criminals. these are people the russian state accuse of being nazis something which ukrainians deny but has been widely discredited but does mean potentially not all of them will be treated according to geneva conventions and that is going to pose difficult questions for anyone who remains inside. i should say we don't really have numbers over this but we have to say the leaders of the azov battalion i get to give themselves up the united nations and

themselves up the united nations and the rain across will understand have been involved in monitoring the treatment of their situation and the rain across say they are documenting the locations of these people but what happens to them, whether they are given some sort of prisoner exchange of ukrainians or whether some of them are put on trial for some of them are put on trial for some charges as yet unknown is going to be a really, really important question, the answer to which we will find out in the coming days, weeks, months even. elsewhere in the month, conflict we have reports of increased shelling in the donbas, the eastern region where ukrainians are holding out defending in trenches and russian advances. we have reports of continued ukrainian counter fences around kharkiv, have reports of continued ukrainian counterfences around kharkiv, the city in the north that they have recently repelled the russians from unfunny reports of ukrainian shells destroy any alcohol factory inside russian territory, killing one man, a van driver, and we are seeing instances of the war finding itself onto russian territory, something

the people there were not really expecting and do not seem to be particularly comfortable with. 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 by 84% in the last five years in england. our health correspondent, jim reed, reports. james downs developed anorexia when he was 15, but it was nearly seven years before he saw an eating disorder specialist because there were none where he lived in south wales. after i was first diagnosed, i was just being patched up in a&e mental health services, and then sent back to my day—to—day life struggling. and by the time i did get to that treatment, i was much, much harder

to treat and it was so much harder to start to change. new figures show almost 25,000 people needed hospital treatment for an eating disorder in england in the first year of the pandemic, up from 13,000 five years ago, with the sharpest rise in children and young people. the vast majority of those affected are women, but the number of young men admitted to hospital has more than doubled in that time. the royal college of psychiatrists has now published new guidance to help doctors spot cases earlier. as a child, debbie howard was a gymnast training for the commonwealth games. it took her more than a decade to ask for help with anorexia. she now runs her own eating disorder charity. there's still a massive misconception about eating disorders.

they're actually — eating disorders have got the highest death rate of all psychiatric illnesses. they are very, very serious and very complex mental health disorders. the government says extra funding will pay for at least another 2,000 young people in england to access eating disorder support. jim reed, bbc news. joining me now is ellie prendergast, who is 18. ellie has lived with an eating disorder for the past three years and is currently taking to social media to raise awareness. thank you so much forjoining me to talk about this. it is a very personal subject and we are grateful for being prepared to speak about it. you have heard about the figures of how many more people are needing help. how surprised i buy that? i don't feel like i'm that surprised because i didn't feel like since lockdown has happened that there's been a lot more downfall in people's mental health and i definitely feel like there should be extra support out there and extra awareness about eating disorders because there is a massive misconception about how serious they actually are. much mac how quickly will you diagnose you are able to get help? it took me about a year to actually figure out

that i actually had a problem and thenit that i actually had a problem and then it was within a month or something and then i got diagnosed. why do you think it is, then, that so many people don't get the help they need as quickly as they do? because it would appear that this new guidance is necessary because many cases are being missed? i feel! many cases are being missed? i feel like the patient, _ many cases are being missed? i feel like the patient, like, _ many cases are being missed? i feel like the patient, like, for _ many cases are being missed? i f,,i like the patient, like, for me, example, i was quite in denial, so obviously that will make the person that you're speaking to not actually be able to speak to you as much because, like, you won't want to speak to them and i feel like they're's a long waiting list as well now to get onto it. tell]! they're's a long waiting list as well now to get onto it. tell us about your _ well now to get onto it. tell us about your use _ well now to get onto it. tell us about your use of— well now to get onto it. tell us about your use of social - well now to get onto it. tell us | about your use of social media, then. how would you like to meet other people who might be in a similar position to encourage them to get help? i

here at the white house is finland and sweden begin the process of joining nato. it was out of the wreckage of world war ii joining nato. it was out of the wreckage of world war i! that nato was formed and in seven decades that followed native has proved itself an indispensable alliance committed to a europe whole, three and at peace. but in recent years doubts began to arise. was nato still relevant? was still effective? is it still needed in the 21st—century world? today, there is no question nato is relevant. it is effective and it is more needed now than ever. the indispensable alliance of decades pastis indispensable alliance of decades past is still the indispensable alliance for the world we face today. and i would argue tomorrow as

well. the decision of sweden and finland and one they have made is testament to that commitment. this is about the future. it is about a revived nato that has tools and resources on clarity and conviction to defend our shared values and leave the world. sweden and finland are already among our closest partners on a range of issues, from strengthening peace and stability to advancing human rights to taking on climate crisis and addressing food insecurity from strengthening the global health and promoting development. finnish and swedish troops. finnish and swedish troops have already served a shoulder to shoulder with us and nato forces in kosovo, as understand, and iraq. both finland and sweden are already working in coordination with the united states and other allies and

partners to support the brave people of ukraine as they defend their freedom against russia's invasion. sweden and finland have strong democratic institutions, strong militaries and strong and transparent economies and a strong moral sense of what is right. they meet every nato requirement and then some and having two new nato members in the high north will enhance the security of our alliance and deepen our security cooperation across the board. today, the president by mist and and i had a very good discussion about nato accession, were in ukraine and transatlantic security. conversations began well before today. president sauli niinisto

spoke last december and again in january in the weeks leading up to vladimir putin was not unprovoked assault in ukraine. in march president sauli niinisto came to the white has to see me to discuss this brutal conflict and the rupture it is causing in europe. while we were in the oval office we picked up the phone and we called prime minister and the three of us all spoke and we spoke again last week when i invited them to come to the white house today. we have consulted closely at every stage. as sweden and finland made their determinations. and today i am proud to assure them that they have the full, total, complete backing of the united states of america. today my administration is submitting to the united states congress on nato accession for both

countries so the senate can officially and quickly move on advising and consenting to the treaty. i greatly appreciate the senators who have supported me to move this leave the senate as quickly as possible. once the perspectives of all allies are addressed nato adopts the accession protocol. the bottom line is simple and quite straightforward. finland and quite straightforward. finland and sweden make nato stronger, not just because of the capacity of them are strong, strong democracies. a strong, united nato is the foundation of america's security. by joining nato allies make a sacred commitment to one another but an attack on one as an attack against all. article five of the washington

treaty and the core building block of our alliance. the only time in history article five has been invoked was after 9 to 11 when the united states was attacked and all our allies valid to our side. the united states will never forget that. —— after 9/11. we will never forget and will never forget our pledge to defend every single inch of nato territory. i'm grateful to finland and sweden as well. this is going to benefit all of our people and today the president, prime minister and i committed that we are going to work together to remain vigilant against the 32 and was shared security and confront any aggression while finland and sweden are in the succession process.

nothing will be missed, as my mother would say, between the cup and lip. we are in once it is moving forward. i really mean it. i really mean solicit be clear. new members joining nato is not a threat to any nation. it never has been. nato's purposes to defend against aggression. that lets no one make a mistake. the meaning of this historic day in the face of aggression nato has not grown weaker and more divided. it has grown stronger, more united. finland and sweden's decision to address membership of nato will be enhanced for all time. membership of nato will be enhanced forall time. standing membership of nato will be enhanced for all time. standing together today we reject the bloody creep that might makes right and we declare e—mail powerful creed one

and one and one for all because what nato makes strong isn'tjust our enormous military capacity but our commitment to each other, to its values, and nato's alliance of choice, not coercion. this is a victory for democracy in action. finland and sweden are seeking to join nato because their citizens demanded it and their elected leaders heard them. that is how it works when leaders divide their powerfrom works when leaders divide their power from the consent of the government —— from the consent of the governed. that is why it has always been so important and allows nations to choose for themselves to be part of a group of nations that value freedom, democracy and human dignity above all else. countries must demonstrate that they meet nato's high standards of military operability, economic transparency and in a classic accountability.

that is what sweden and finland have done. so today it is estimation of those countries that share our values and we are willing and able to be part of our alliance. —— and affirmation. make—up is 's door remains open. injust a affirmation. make—up is 's door remains open. in just a few minutes i will be leaving to spend time with two of our indo—pacific allies. —— nato's door remains open. and a half hour i will be flying to the republic of korea and thank the president and prime minister for travelling here on this meeting but i take off because it is so important. america's alliance in europe and asia keep all this and i would argue the world strong and secure. how we confront the challenge of our time and deliver for our people today and harness

opportunities for a better tomorrow. and i look forward to seeing calling sweden and finland ourfriends, partners and nato allies. i want to thank you both for being here and invite each of you to say a few years and napoleon is yours —— to say a few words and the podium is yours. mr president, it is with great pleasure _ mr president, it is with great pleasure and honour to be standing here today — pleasure and honour to be standing here today with you together with the swedish prime minister magdalena andersson. we are here for a very good _ andersson. we are here for a very good reason. together we are taking a historic— good reason. together we are taking a historic step by seeking tojoin

ready to do more to help the most vulnerable. joining us now is iain duncan smith, the conservative mp. thank you forjoining us. you describe the spring statement as overly complicated. what would you like to see from the chancellor to put things right? the like to see from the chancellor to put things right?— like to see from the chancellor to put things right? the chancellor put some extra money _ put things right? the chancellor put some extra money back— put things right? the chancellor put some extra money back in - put things right? the chancellor put some extra money back in and - put things right? the chancellor put some extra money back in and i - some extra money back in and i appreciate that but the point i was making at the time was in truth we knew the cost of living was going to spiral up far higher and therefore we should have anticipated that and moved at that stage but we are where we are so the question is how do we make the most of our position to reduce that cost burden on a lot of taxpayers and on those who will find it very difficult as a greater proportion of their income is spent on heating —— heating later this

year when the winter comes back in and on food. he needs to look very carefully very soon at reducing the burden of taxation overall. we need to take the taxes down, lower national insurance. that one off payment charge should be got rid of. we have headroom in the economy anyway because of the incredible growth in receipts that took place over the last two years which was way past their expectations. so we can use that money to put back into the economy by giving people back more of their own money and on the lower end of the income scale people on benefits, we need to be making sure their incomes at least make them or allow them to cope with the rise of 3.1%. it them or allow them to cope with the rise of 1196-— rise of 3.1%. it wasn't so long ago thouah rise of 3.1%. it wasn't so long ago though that _ rise of 3.1%. it wasn't so long ago though that the _ rise of 3.1%. it wasn't so long ago though that the economy - rise of 3.1%. it wasn't so long ago though that the economy was - rise of 3.1%. it wasn't so long ago i though that the economy was saying

all of that money he had poured into the economy and into individual people's pockets to get us through the pandemic would have to be paid back so how does he do both things at once? the back so how does he do both things at once? ., ,:, , at once? the truth about this clearly is _ at once? the truth about this clearly is that _ at once? the truth about this clearly is that the _ at once? the truth about this clearly is that the issue - at once? the truth about this clearly is that the issue we i at once? the truth about this i clearly is that the issue we face right now isn't directly overwhelmingly inflation. inflation is high and going to get higher probably. it's then set according to the bank of and forecast which is probably right, it's going to be set to plateau for a while and eventually start to tail down. what we can't do is to things at once. we can't tackle inflation with our interest rates and at the same time raise taxation to the levels it sat at the moment because we will squeeze the life out of the economy and that is desperate. we will end “p and that is desperate. we will end up in stagflation which is recession and high inflation which is crippling on the economy. if we are

going to be raising interest rates which we have to to squeeze out elements that are uk—based of inflation, on the other hand we need to keep the economy growing. that means ensuring people have enough money to be able to cope with the cost of their lives and be able to spend so the economy moves forward. that means a combination of tax cuts and intervention through things like universal credit. hath? and intervention through things like universal credit.— universal credit. why are you not suggesting _ universal credit. why are you not suggesting the — universal credit. why are you not suggesting the idea _ universal credit. why are you not suggesting the idea of _ universal credit. why are you not suggesting the idea of a - universal credit. why are you not suggesting the idea of a windfall| suggesting the idea of a windfall tax against the energy companies that have seen massive profits of late? i that have seen massive profits of late? ~ �* , that have seen massive profits of late? ,, �* , , :, that have seen massive profits of late? ,, �*, , :, ., late? i think it's strong argument to be engaged — late? i think it's strong argument to be engaged in _ late? i think it's strong argument to be engaged in this _ late? i think it's strong argument to be engaged in this stage - late? i think it's strong argument i to be engaged in this stage because i am after getting the economy moving, in other words keeping it growing. so debating how that many is got is a bit of a red herring because the truth is the main argument that will affect everybody�*s lives is how do we get taxes down so that they have more of

their own money to spend and how do we help those at the bottom end by injecting money into their universal credit or some of the other legacy benefits to ensure they are able to cope. these are the things the government can do now and as i said earlier on, they have had incredible receipts above what they were expecting earlier on. so my point is if you want the economy to grow and you want business to continue investing, critically those two things are about lower costs not raising costs. the debate about where you get the money from i think is a red herring because we already have the money in the capability of the treasury to release taxation and those benefits we need to target. it won't surprise you to know i'm going to ask you about how to get because the met police have finished their

didn't. of course, it's important to recognise that as we move forward from this we have got some big decisions to make which will affect lives on a very widescale and the point about cost of living where people literally are facing stark choices, we need to intervene now along the lines i said with lower taxes and intervention at the level of benefits. that's the issue and i hope the public recognises that. that position of breaking the rules are something the prime minister and the government have taken on board and they will never do that again. a musician has been given a life sentence, for murdering eighteen year—old bobbi anne mcleod in plymouth last november. the court heard that cody ackland, who is twenty—four, carried out a prolonged attack to satisfy his morbid fascination with serial killers. he'll serve a minimum jail term of 31 years. with the background to the case, here'sjenny kumah

and just a warning her report contains details you may find distressing. cody ackland appeared to be a normal bloke according to his friends. a guitarist in a local band, he had no prior convictions and wasn't known to the police. but detectives say he lived a double life and had a secret, morbid fascination with serial killers. today, the full details of his random attack on teenager bobbi—anne mcleod were revealed in court for the first time. the student was just 18 when she disappeared. her family say she lit up the lives of everyone she met. bobbi—anne was waiting at this bus stop to go into town to meet her boyfriend. cody ackland drove past, saw her, parked up, then he sneaked up behind her and hit her over the head with a claw hammer twice. he took her to this remote part of dartmoor, where he murdered her

in a frenzied attack. he then drove almost 30 miles to try to hide her body in a wooded area near the coast. the next day, he went for pizza with a friend, attended band practice and drank into the early hours. but three days after the murder, he turned himself in, confessed, and told police where bobbi—anne's body was. his presentation was calm, it was coherent, and it was measured. no contrition, no remorse, and nothing that i would view as being close to an apology. how much responsibility for the crime was he taking in those interviews? ackland has sought to blame absolutely everybody else for his crime apart from himself. but the only person that can give us more detail as to why he committed such a callous and sadistic act is ackland, and, to date, he's refused to do so. ackland's phone was full of photos of serial killers

and other grisly images of death. in the days leading up to the attack, he searched on the internet for potential murder weapons and remote locations. this was a crime that sent shockwaves through plymouth. communities came together and held vigils to mourn, and to raise concerns about women's safety. today, the mcleod family paid tribute, saying she was the best daughter and the best sister. they now know the details of what happened, but they continue to be tortured by questions over why she was murdered. jenny kumah, bbc news. breaking news regarding the vaccine programme in the uk. the advisers are saying they're anticipating they will be an autumn covert poster campaign aimed at people aged over 65 and also care home residents, front line and social care workers and all adults who are in any of the

clinical risk groups. we know that already people over the age of 75 for spring are already being offered a booster and it's also going to people who have suppressed immunity. ministers have spoken openly of the plans for this campaign in autumn and there we have it that they are likely to roll out a booster programme for people over the age of 65. the number of monkeypox cases in the uk has risen to nine, after two more people were confirmed to have the virus. it's believed the most recent infections were picked up in britain, rather than linked to travel overseas, specifically west africa. our health correspondent katharine da costa has details. 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. now, the symptoms start with fever, headache, fatigue. there can be a rash. it usually starts around the face. it can spread to other parts

of the body, and it can change to look a bit like chickenpox before forming a scab. it's usually mild and people recover after a few weeks. now, 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's infected. so far, the nine cases in the uk have all been detected in england, mostly in london, and the advice is to look out for unusual rashes and lesions and contact nhs111 if you're concerned. conservationists say we're now losing species faster than ever. and with the un estimating 1 million species under threat, scientists are turning to biobanking — saving frozen tissue from dead animals for future cloning or other technologies that could reverse extinction. our science correspondent victoria gill has been to the uk's largest biobank of living wild animal tissue and asking — how do we decide what species go

in the freezer for the future. all right. i've got you. a story that starts at the end of the life. it is time to say goodbye. a 28 years old, this bird, a tropical chattering lorry developed arthritis too severe to treat. can feel him 50 now. yeah, he's gone. on a sad day for the team be quickly saved a tiny sample of tissue from his body. it's nice we've got a feather follicle. his dna could live on. the tissue stays viable for up to five days. it is quite a simple and very feasible take. chattering lorries are just one of tens of thousands of species threatened with extinction so when one dies at the same side to spank precious genetic material before it is lost. it is sent here, nature's safe in shropshire, uk's largest biobank of living cells minimal is in danger of going extinct.

and simply and extremely cold store of animal tissue. in here, there are 100 different species in the file is cryopreserved. so we have got a southern white rhino in here, mountain fog, we have got ajaguar. all being preserved in this one canister. an unexpected death at the zoo and we get a call. do you know what might have caused this? we suspect given it was so quick it may be a twisted stomach, something like that. and yeer with every one of its skin cells containing the jaguar�*s entire genetic hold is sent of as quickly as possible. did she have any offspring? it goes into a vial. preserving just a fragment of the year means all the natural chemical processes inside cells stop. it's in suspended

at the end of the tunnel and some of these amazing species, we might not lose forever. there are two northern white rhinos left in the world which is so sad. a tiny skin sample, that's all it is in order to help some of the species. it's quite incredible now what science can do and they can shine a light on some of the species that were disappearing and also from something so sad that actually happens, and animal passing away is very sad, something positive can come out of it. that animal dying might help the species survive. irate it. that animal dying might help the species survive.— species survive. we are always fixated on _ species survive. we are always fixated on animals _ species survive. we are always fixated on animals like - species survive. we are always fixated on animals like the - species survive. we are always| fixated on animals like the rino species survive. we are always - fixated on animals like the rino and the big cuts and pandas but whatever perhaps less exotic and less glamorous creatures are you concerned about?— glamorous creatures are you concerned about? :, ., , :, concerned about? you are spot on. the are concerned about? you are spot on. they are the _ concerned about? you are spot on. they are the ones _ concerned about? you are spot on. they are the ones we _ concerned about? you are spot on. they are the ones we know- concerned about? you are spot on. they are the ones we know about. | they are the ones we know about. there are so many other species that are as important or more important.

something like the mountain chicken frog, there are only around hundred left in the world. you may never have heard of it but they are as important as the rhino behind me. there are so many different species at the end of million of them are threatened and 40,000 are critically endangered. we have a tall order but cryo conservation can really help and we need everybody to help us out there to do this. we can hopefully stop these species disappearing because it's not for us, it's for future generations. we may be able to help them see these species going into the future.— into the future. even if we have the technolo: into the future. even if we have the technology in _ into the future. even if we have the technology in future _ into the future. even if we have the technology in future to _ into the future. even if we have the technology in future to bring - into the future. even if we have the technology in future to bring these | technology in future to bring these animals back to life, where do we put them? what about the habitats? we can only do our bit. but

hopefully one day if we get our house in order on this planet and we do get the populations out there, we have somewhere to put them. if we don't bank then we lose them forever. what are we going to tell our children and grandchildren? this is a way we can do it. there has to be a way we can store these animals and if we can repopulate them, they have to do something to do it way though they are gone forever. you also have to _ though they are gone forever. you also have to have _ though they are gone forever. you also have to have the pyramid of life as well with the predators and also the animals they feed off. definitely. it's notjust one animal, what makes species extinct is the extension vortex. if the animals are not getting a narrow gene pool we can bring back the lives that have been lost. we want genetic samples from each species

cloud drifting from the south. simmering also just coming cloud drifting from the south. simmering alsojust coming into cloud drifting from the south. simmering also just coming into the western side of northern ireland and the north—west scotland. temperatures overnight, it will be mild for most, little chili fees in scotland and north—east england. tomorrow, so more heavy rain but this time most of it will stay out over the near continent. some rain will fringe into eastern parts of england. a band of rain drifting in from the west. that could break up into heavy showers and thunderstorms but with some sunny spells in between. it will be breezy tomorrow and a bit cooler than it has been. a quick look at the weekend and a lot of dry weather around particularly downs towards the south. some rain forecast but not a huge amount of it towards the north of the uk and it will turn up warmer by sunday.

this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall. these are the headlines... the police investigation into parties at downing street is over — borisjohnson will not be receiving any more fines for breaking covid regulations at downing street. a musician who was obsessed with serial killers is jailed for life for brutally murdering teenager bobbi—anne mcleod in november last year. joe biden says the us is offering strong support to both finland and sweden as they try to join nato in the wake of russia's invasion of ukraine. ministers face calls to increase benefits and state pensions now to help those struggling with the surging cost of living. a fan has been jailed after running on to the pitch and headbutting sheffield united captain billy sharp at the end of nottingham forest's

playoff match with sheffield united. sharp was attacked after his side lost to forest on penalties. he was knocked to the ground and required four stitches to his lip. forest season ticket holder robert biggs, who's 30, pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm and was jailed for 24 weeks. wales have called up the uncapped nathan broadhead to their squad for next month's world cup play—off final — with the sunderland striker having scored 13 goals in 26 games on loan from everton this season. and there's a place in the squad for this man — gareth bale — despite his limited game time for real madrid. it was his two goals against austria that gave rob page's side a place in the final, where they'll face scotland or ukraine. leicester goalkeeper danny ward and bournemouth striker kieffer moore also return from injury. bit of history at the men's football world cup as female refereers will officiate matches at the tournament for the first time later this year. france's stephanie frappart, rwanda's salima mukansanga and japan's yoshimi yamashita have been selected to take charge of games in qatar. they will be supported by three female assistant referees.

premier league refs michael oliver and anthony taylor have also been chosen for the tournament which begins in november. the tottenham women's forward chioma ubogu has been banned from sport for nine months after an anti—doping violation. she was tested by uk anti—doping in october last year and her sample contained the banned substance canrenone. ubogu joined spurs injuly last year and will not be available again until october 2022. the spotlight will be on the bottom of the premier league as burnley and everton have a huge opportunity to ease their relegation concerns. a win for burnley over aston villa at turf moor would see them leave the bottom three. meanwhile everton could guarantee their safety with a win against crystal palace at goodison park. it is what it is. we've got two games left to get probably two points with the goal difference situation with leeds,

and, as i've mentioned before, we're not going to write off the game against arsenal. it is a game to go and contend and get a result no matter what happens on thursday, so we understand the situation, we understand what we need and what we want, and we just have to prepare as well as we can to get it. england fast bowlerjofra archer is going to miss the entire season with a stress fracture in his lower back. archer's had pretty rough time of it recently, he hasn't played cricket since last july after two elbow operations. this new injury could cause him to miss the t20 world cup this autumn in australia as there's no timeframe set for his return. it's a blow to england who without seven fast bowlers ahead ofjune's first test against new zealand. rafael nadal is looking to win a record—extending 14th title french open title and he'll find out who he'll play in the first round as the draw takes place soon. 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�*. and the second golf major of the year has begun in tulsa oklahoma — and early on it's rory mcilroy leading the way — he's four under after 8 holes. you can find all the action from the us pga championship at southern hills country club on the bbc sport website. isaac, thank you very much indeed. now, a lucky couple from gloucestershire have become the uk's biggest ever lottery winners. joe and jess thwaite won a massive £184 million in the euromillions draw last week. the couple, who have two primary school children, said the win would give them 'time to dream'. our correspondent navtej johal has the story. cheering and applause. whooping. popping open the champagne lifestyle. joe and jess thwaite, a married

couple in their 405 from gloucester, havejust become multi—multi—multimillionaires. joe, a communication sales engineer, and jess, who runs a hair salon, are the uk's biggest ever lottery winners. they've banked £184,262,899 — and 10 pence. at a press conference in a 5—star hotel, they explained how they found out they'd won the life—changing sum via an e—mail onjoe's phone. i actually started counting the digits, and it was at that point, i thought, "holy..." you know? it was amazing, but also surreal — it didn't feel real. of course. so i put the phone down, and jess hadn't had a great night's sleep, so i thought, "do i wake her up? don't i wake her up? what do i do?" so i just sat there for a minute trying to take it all in. the first person jess told was her mum. i've got something to tell you, a secret to tell you,

but you have to promise not to tell anybody. she was like, "0k." and then she was like, "are you pregnant?" i was, like, "no way!" actually, what i said was, "it's better than being pregnant." laughter. the couple, who live with their two primary—school—age children, haven't spent much of their new fortune yet. i'll tell you the truth — we bought bedroom furniture. we'd been living in packing cases in our bedroom because we couldn't have furniture, so i was like, "do you know what? "i'm going to go and buy us furniture," so we bought a chest of drawers and a wardrobe! yeah. but other than that, for us, we haven't done a gift... no. or any...you know, we've had a celebration with our family. yeah. cheering. well, this is clearly an incredible moment for the couple, but many previous winners have remained anonymous, so, the £184 million question is, why have these two decided to go public? this is an amazing thing that's happened to us, and this means it's an amazing thing that's happened to our family, and we want to share that with them.

we love them and that's our main aim, to be able to... yeah. so it's not about doing this — this is our hardest part — it's about, you know, being able to be open with the people we love. yeah. and being able to share amazing adventures with them all. the only plans the couple say they have for the money, so far, is a holiday and a new car. they freely admit it will be some time before they've got their heads around just what to do with their huge fortune. navteonhal, bbc news, cheltenham. joining me now is emmanuel asuquo, a wealth manager and financial advisor. and also the kind of man that the thwaites perhaps need. how much of this is a blessing as opposed to a curse, in your view? this is a blessing as opposed to a curse, in yourview? it is this is a blessing as opposed to a curse, in your view?— this is a blessing as opposed to a curse, in your view? it is very much a blessing — curse, in your view? it is very much a blessing and _ curse, in your view? it is very much a blessing and hearing _ curse, in your view? it is very much a blessing and hearing them - curse, in your view? it is very much a blessing and hearing them talk i a blessing and hearing them talk about family i think that is the right mindset. not to let the money change you or make you be different but actually embrace the money and the things that are important to you

already, so i think that is definitely a blessing but also obviously there are things they have to think about with regards to how much you can help people and how much you can help people and how much you can give away and it is going to mean conversations and planning but it seems like quite open with each other and it seems like they're going to enjoy it. might like to they have to play tax on this? no tax to pay on lottery win so that is great. this is all for them to enjoy. that is amazing, isn't it? what is the first thing they should do in the first thing they should do in the first thing they shouldn't do? i think first thing they should do is create a plan and work together and maybe do a list of things important to them that they would like to achieve and take time. i think the first thing they shouldn't do is just garden start spending. you don't have to spend it. there is a temptation when you get a larger bit of money that you get a larger bit of money that you have to spend it back to you can take time with it and actually let things happen more naturally rather than full set because i have got the

money because in a lot of bank accounts and financial institution you are limited to £85,000 in coverage of the organisation went bust. they wouldn't cover you for that huge amount of money. you can send it that huge amount of money. you can spend it with — that huge amount of money. you can spend it with this _ that huge amount of money. you can spend it with this much _ that huge amount of money. you can spend it with this much money - that huge amount of money. you can spend it with this much money the i spend it with this much money the most important is the kind investments they can do or maybe not leaving it all in one place. they can put it in places and get financial advice but also this amount of money is not about legacy notjust amount of money is not about legacy not just about now and if amount of money is not about legacy notjust about now and if it is managed well their children's children children can have it so it really is about getting the right advice to put in place they can make sure they can keep it as much as they can but while still enjoying it. i they can but while still en'oying it. :, , , they can but while still en'oying it. i hope they find somebody they rel with. it. i hope they find somebody they gel with. thank _ it. i hope they find somebody they gel with. thank you _ it. i hope they find somebody they gel with. thank you very _ it. i hope they find somebody they gel with. thank you very much. i the headlines on bbc news...

launch his top gun sequel, top gun — maverick and the festival paid a special tribute to him and his 40—year career in hollywood. he also was given the festival's highest award. the french air force put on a big show for tom cruise at the cannes film festival, honouring him with an impressive fly—past by eight fighter jets. people are standing in line for hours to get a glimpse of him and screaming and yelling and saying, "tom, tom!" "turn around — wave at me!" in recent days, cruise has been at several premieres for his new top gun maverick film. despite all the hoopla that surrounds him, he is keen to point out that his new picture is celebrating us naval aviation culture. it really is representing that culture, aviation, the navy culture and it kind of has the same ethics of doing the right thing, about family, about tradition. tom cruise made his big breakthrough in 1983 in the coming of age comedy risky business.

he was also the start of the hugely successful mission impossible series. rightly or wrongly, he is perceived as a commercial actor. some wonder if his career warrants a special tribute from the cannes film festival, including giving him an honorary surprise palm d'or, the festival's highest award. i think what cannes is doing by saying, "come in, tom cruise," there was some reservations, he doesn't make the finest movies. he doesn't make arthouse pictures. but he does power cinema. and i think that is why cannes is honouring him this year. in 1986, tom cruise starred in the original top gun, playing a us navy test pilot. it was a huge hit. it was made in cooperation with the pentagon. in the wake of the film, recruitment into the us military reportedly shot up. some say the film glamorised combat, a point that i put to a very young tom cruise at that time. if we wanted to make a war film or a film that glorifies combat, we would have been blowing people

away from the beginning to the end. it's a film about character, and essentially, in the end, big battle, the adversary is faceless, nameless. the opponent is symbolic of the character and his conflict. i'm not a teacher. now, 36 years later, we have the top gun — maverick sequel. the film has been getting outstanding reviews. it's seen as less jingoistic than its predecessor. tom cruise is not an actor without controversy. he has long been an outspoken advocate of scientology, but it doesn't seem to have harmed his hollywood career. top gun — maverick is set to put him back on top and bring some solid, much—needed business to cinemas around the world struggling to recover from the impact of covid. tom brooke, bbc news, cannes. we can now go to our correspondent, steffan powell, who is at the top gun: maverick premiere in leicester square.

1986 the original top gun came out and i think everybody has come from and i think everybody has come from a party. you might be able to see popping up here basically like broadcasting from a nightclub at the moment, people getting into the swing of things before getting a chance to see the film for the first time here in central london. i think what is really fascinating about this is the fact that a fighter jet behind me you can see just behind this is the fact that a fighter jet behind me you can seejust behind me and there is a dj just warming up the crowd is when competing with him at the moment. what is different about tonight is that after a difficult couple of years for the cinema industry attendances have been plummeting in the last few years and 60% down on three pandemic levels and what to die tonight shows is a real confidence and the media industries that would get back out there. growing since they clock this

afternoon he is a viewer. that person come from wales and chatting with the dj woman is up now. so people have come from a long way and they are keen to get back out there in the cinema and this could be a film that bridges that gap to encourage people to get back out to their multiplexes and things have started getting a bit better recently because we had spider—man no way homejust recently because we had spider—man no way home just before christmas which started doing well again. netflix, disney+, prime, nights like that build buzz and anticipation in the movie industry hopes that will bring may be catch up to the people in the mid—levels. ill be honest with you martin i can't heave very well but if you fire questions at they will do my best to answer them! what did you think of the film? thank you, i got thatjust what did you think of the film? thank you, i got that just about! just brilliant timing because the dj has just turned his just brilliant timing because the dj hasjust turned his musical. thank you mr dj throughout that wherever

you mr dj throughout that wherever you are and i really appreciate it. i really enjoyed the film. it was almost as if the last 30 years of cinema haven't happened and it is a throwback to 805. verse five and exerts its stall out the feel of nostalgia and the general one you will have a whale of a time in the first five minutes and yet it seems to have modernised a modern blockbusters well and so hardcore fans are going to love it but is it going to bridge that gap to new audiences and young audiences? i'm not so sure but if you have the original i would say go and see it. the fans are dead excited to go and see it tonight, so much so they have decided have a disc of four planned and why not? is a movie theatre in hollywood is in the uk and they're having a great time. mas hollywood is in the uk and they're having a great time.— hollywood is in the uk and they're having a great time. was turning up for the premier? _ having a great time. was turning up for the premier? he _ having a great time. was turning up for the premier? he was _ having a great time. was turning up for the premier? he was turning - having a great time. was turning up| for the premier? he was turning up? overcast here _ for the premier? he was turning up? overcast here including _ for the premier? he was turning up? overcast here including tom - for the premier? he was turning up? overcast here including tom cruise. | overcast here including tom cruise. —— who is turning up? all the cast are here. tom cruise is keen to sign
