service. earlier, i spoke to our home affairs correspondent, daniel de simone, who had this assessment. this was my investigation into this agent who we can referred to as x, and we found that he was a very serious domestic abuser, misogynist and extremist. he'd abused two partners and boasted about abusing them and exploiting other women. 0ne them and exploiting other women. one woman who is referred to as beth, not her real name, described how he use his status to coerce her and abuse her and threatened her. no one would believe her, she shouldn't speak out about any of the abuse, he would tell her, because the service he worked for would have his back. when we sought to broadcast the story and went to the government for comment, they took us to the high court, there was a long battle, and we have not been able to name him but work won the right to report a
5:03 pm
lot of detail. the centre for women because myjustice, which has announced today they are representing her —— women's justice, they launched a formal complaint with the watchdog for intelligent services, the investigative powers tribunal. that considers complaints about the conduct of mi5, mi6, gc hq and any complaints about possible human rights abuses. saying that beth will argue is she will ask that tribunal to investigate how x was handled by mi5, how they recruited him, whether they did rocker checked on him —— proper checks, and she will say she was left vulnerable to his abuse. there's been a lot of political reaction today. we have the jeopardy political reaction today. we have thejeopardy pride and a minister who was out about it this morning and he described our story as
5:04 pm
hearing —— deputy prime minister, but he wouldn't go further and said he couldn't talk about it any more for security reasons. even at cooper, the labour shadow secretary, has asked for an independent assessment to look at how mi5 up jules with domestic abuse —— deals with —— evette cooper. bbc news understands that the senior civil servant sue gray intends to complete her report on lockdown parties at downing street this weekend. those expected to be named in the report are being given a deadline of 5pm on sunday to respond to herfindings before the inquiry is published. it follows the news that the metropolitan police has closed its inquiry into the matter. a total of 126 fixed penalty notices were issued to 83 men and women, including the prime minister, borisjohnson, and the chancellor, rishi sunak. the fines relate to eight different dates between may 2020, at the height of lockdown, and april 2021. the labour leader, sir keir starmer, has said the number of fines showed there had been "industrial—scale
5:05 pm
lawbreaking in downing street". here's our political correspondent, jonathan blake. borisjohnson boris johnson visiting borisjohnson visiting a honey factory this morning, he could perhaps get on with the job. he knows now he won't face any more finds for breaking lockdown rules. the findings of an official report are still to come.— the findings of an official report are still to come. well, i'm very crateful are still to come. well, i'm very grateful to _ are still to come. well, i'm very grateful to the _ are still to come. well, i'm very grateful to the met. _ are still to come. well, i'm very grateful to the met. i _ are still to come. well, i'm very grateful to the met. i thank - are still to come. well, i'm very. grateful to the met. i thank them for everything they've done. i think we just need to wait for sue gray to report, and as i said, fingers crossed that will be very soon and i'll be saying more next week. in i'll be saying more next week. in the very buildings where strict rules were drawn up which limited people's life so much, those rules were broken from time and again. in this room, on his birthday, boris johnson's attendance at an impromptu gathering saw him become be the first sitting prime minister to be found to have broken the law.
5:06 pm
the metropolitan police are facing questions, though, about why he wasn't fined further, for attending other events they've investigated. ever—changing covid restrictions on the fact that downing street is also borisjohnson�*s home could help explain that. but his opponents say it's beside the point. he is the one who should be held responsible and accountable for the fact that the british public were shown no respect, shown contempt, actually, for the suffering they were going through at the time when parties were being held in downing street. and that is what so many people in this country find unacceptable and why the prime minister has to consider his position. attention�*s now on sue gray, the senior civil servant compiling a report into parties held in whitehall. her initial findings criticised failures of leadership and judgment. the full version is expected next week, and sue gray is expected to name officials involved. if someone is very senior. in government, potentially could have an influence i on the lawmaking around
5:07 pm
this, like was the case for the prime ministerj and the cabinet secretary, - there may be a legitimate public interest that the name is revealed in this report _ there are lots ofjunior staff who work in number 10. - everyone thinks everyone is very senior, and very political, - that's not the case. it may well be that, - for other staff, there is no overriding public interest for them to be named _ there's undoubtedly relief and downing street at the outcome of the police investigation. but it's far from the last word on partygate, and the full political impact is yet to become clear. jonathan blake, bbc news. the shadow home secretary, yvette cooper, joins me now. thank you very much forjoining us this afternoon. let's talk about this mi5 agent who is said to have used his position to control and abuse of a female partner who is not taking legal action against the security service. what do you believe the
5:08 pm
home secretary should do in this court casethe report shows a very disturbing images of court casethe report shows a very disturbing images 0— court casethe report shows a very disturbing images 0 disturbing images of abuse. i think civen the disturbing images of abuse. i think given the seriousness _ disturbing images of abuse. i think given the seriousness of— disturbing images of abuse. i think given the seriousness of this, - disturbing images of abuse. i think given the seriousness of this, the l given the seriousness of this, the home secretary needs to make sure there is an independent assessment about this case, looking notjust at the agent, but also at the investigation as well, because when you have a crime as serious as domestic abuse, victims need to know it is taken immensely seriously by all the authorities and especially those who are responsible for keeping us safe. what especially those who are responsible for keeping us safe.— for keeping us safe. what do you think it tells _ for keeping us safe. what do you think it tells us _ for keeping us safe. what do you think it tells us about _ for keeping us safe. what do you think it tells us about the - think it tells us about the government's attitude to women's safety as opposed to national security interests, which is what looks they are trying to protect at all cost? ~ , ., , all cost? well, there needs to be this independent _ all cost? well, there needs to be this independent assessment - all cost? well, there needs to be this independent assessment in l all cost? well, there needs to be - this independent assessment in order to look at these issues. we know
5:09 pm
that mis to to look at these issues. we know that mi5 to take very seriously issues around safeguarding, just as they also take seriously issues around national security, which is obviously immensely important. but we need that independent assessment to make sure and to look into what has happened in this particular case. we know now that, understandably and rightly, the women involved have put in a complaint to the investigator. that is an opportunity to look at part of what has happened in this case, but there is a still questions around of there is a still questions around of the criminal investigation. there are many investigations into domestic abuse that don't happen in the way they should, but we do need that aspect of this case to be properly ups —— observe as well. find properly ups -- observe as well. and adviser to the _ properly ups —— observe as well. and adviser to the government has said that she believes that her efforts
5:10 pm
to have street harassment to be made into a crime are being blocked at a very high level. what sort of efforts would you like to see by the government to stamp out this sort of behaviour and through its weight behind her campaign? if it’s behaviour and through its weight behind her campaign?— behind her campaign? if it's true that the prime _ behind her campaign? if it's true that the prime minister - behind her campaign? if it's true that the prime minister is - behind her campaign? if it's true i that the prime minister is blocking action to try and prove women's safety, that is really troubling, and what we need is to ensure that women can feel safe on the streets, in their homes, in our communities. that's why some of the issues around street harassment are about threats and intimidation that are targeted at women on the streets, simply as they go to work, simply as they walked home from school, and those of the kinds of things that you need to be addressed. we have called for stronger action including strengthening the law around street harassment. i think it's strengthening the law around street harassment. i think its welcome if some parts of the government are looking at this, but i would be very
5:11 pm
troubled if this is ending up being blocked by number ten downing st. they have to take much more seriously issues around the safety of women and girls in our country. finally, the report that sue gray has been compiling, it could be published early next week. we understand she's concluding it this weekend. what would you have the consequences of her report might be? well, i hope we'll get properfacts about what's been happening because the prime minister told us no rules have been broken. instead, number ten downing st seems to have been the most fined address during the crisis, and these were the people who are making the rules and asking everyone else to follow them. the prime minister was in charge of that, so i think he has to take some responsibility for this. that, so i think he has to take some responsibility forthis. he that, so i think he has to take some responsibility for this. he has to take personal spots ability. the

5:14 pm
and feared for his life. the prosecution said he could've just scared the civilian off instead of firing four rounds at him. once again shishimarin apologised, telling the court, "i sincerely repent. at that moment, i was very nervous." more war crime trials will follow, but president zelensky doesn't want to stop here. he again has accused occupying forces of genocide, deliberately trying to kill as many ukrainians as possible, not least in the eastern donbas region. it's now russia's priority. moscow has always denied genocide, but sees it as its own. it's where the fighting is most concentrated, in towns like severodonetsk, where those staying to fight are separated from those who can't. the armed forces of ukraine continue the liberation of the kharkiv region.
5:15 pm
translation: but in donbas, they are trying to increase pressure, that's hell, and that's not an exaggeration. the russians are making small advances in the east. in the luhansk region, the ukrainians continue to defend... ..and frustrate. their extraordinary resistance is both down to their resolve and support from the west. the us hasjust signed off on the biggest package yet — £32 billion. military, humanitarian and economic help. the future of american security and core strategic interests will be shaped by the outcome of this fight. anyone concerned about the cost of supporting a ukrainian victory should consider the much larger cost should ukraine lose. for ukraine, the city of mariupol is finally lost. almost 2000 fighters are thought

continuous disruption, it must be absolutely awful for the people who have decided to remain there, and you wonder why many have. we spoke to two old ladies in a bomb shelter right on the front line. even as the shells were coming of they were still saying the russians are coming to save us. there are many people there that are confused about the origins of this war and are going to be staying because they think the russians are bringing them something, but as we've seen from terrible pictures of devastation, what the russians are bringing is an absolutely unheard of level of destruction.— absolutely unheard of level of destruction. ., , ., destruction. how indicative is that of what's happening _ destruction. how indicative is that of what's happening in _ destruction. how indicative is that of what's happening in the - destruction. how indicative is that j of what's happening in the donbas destruction. how indicative is that i of what's happening in the donbas of what could happen elsewhere? it’s what could happen elsewhere? it�*s difficult to say because there was that initial launch around kyiv,

5:29 pm
across england and wales, apart from the odd shower. i think it's mostly just scattered cloud and pleasant sunshine. and northern ireland and scotland, saturday is often going to be cloudy. 1a—15 here. temperatures should get to 21 degrees. up to 23 in london, but in the northwest, we keep the sunny spells and occasional outbreaks of rain. bye—bye. this is bbc news. the headlines. a woman has lodged a legal case against mi five after one of its informant used his security status to attack an controller and the relationship. bbc news understands a senior civil servants sue grey intensive or put lee back include or report on the vanishing parties this weekend. it follows the completion
5:30 pm
of the lease investigation into the matter with a fines issued. ukraine says russia is intensifying its inventive two offensive and the donbas. zelensky says that region is completely destroyed. over 11 cases of monkeypox have been confirmed to the uk taking the total number 220. -- 20. time for a look at all the sports news. good afternoon, day 2 of golf�*s second major of the year — the uspga is well underway. overnight leader rory mcilroy tees—off in a couple of hours time. he still tops the leaderboard though — a shot ahead of americanjustin thomas who's one of the day's big movers with two birdies so far on 4 under par midway through his round. englishman matt fitzpatrick isjust behind on 3 under after birdying his second hole. he's also midway through now.
5:31 pm
mcilroy tees off at 7.30 with tiger woods and jordan spieth as he hopes to win a 5th major title after an 8 year drought. the football association says it's "very concerned about the rise in anti—social behaviour" from football fans and is investigating the issue following another pitch invasion last night. an everton fan was involved in an altercation with the crystal palace manager patrick vieira after their win at goodison park which meant everton are safe from relegation this season. vieira looked to be taunted by the man before appearing to kick out. merseyside police have confirmed that four arrests have been made relating to incidents involving pyrotechnics and fans entering the pitch. last nights pitch invasion was the fit sense monday. the national chief constable police says he's against bringing back fences and backgrounds but says clubs may have to make radical changes their stadium. clubs may have to look at some sort of investment about how to keep people off the playing surface
5:32 pm
