that her then partner used his security status as a means of controlling her. the agent, whom the high court ruled cannot be named, also attacked the woman with a machete and threatened to kill her. our correspondent daniel de simone reports. a de simone reports. violent mi5 agent who used his position a violent mi5 agent who used his position to abuse.— a violent mi5 agent who used his position to abuse. ultimately this osition position to abuse. ultimately this position within _ position to abuse. ultimately this position within the _ position to abuse. ultimately this position within the security - position within the security services was used to terrorise me. last night, we revealed how the state informant attacked his girlfriend beth with a machete and threatened to kill her. the foreign agent a right—wing extremist with a long history of abusing women can't be named because the government obtained a court order keeping his identity secret. he attacked his british partner before leaving the uk while under police investigation, to work for a foreign intelligence agency. beth has launched a legal

case against the security service. formally complaining to the intelligent watchdog about how mi5 handled its agent. her lawyer says the case has a wider implication. i think this case raises issues about the state's protection of misogynists and men who pose violence to women. beth wants the truth. that is why she has made a complaint to the investigatory powers tribunal. she wants recognition of the damage done to her and her mental health and she wants to ensure this never happens again. the government gained legal anonymity for the informant because of a risk to him from extremists. labour have demanded action from ministers. the labour have demanded action from ministers. �* �* ,., ., , labour have demanded action from ministers. �* �* ., , , ., ministers. the bbc report has shown very disturbing _ ministers. the bbc report has shown very disturbing images _ ministers. the bbc report has shown very disturbing images of— ministers. the bbc report has shown very disturbing images of abuse - ministers. the bbc report has shown very disturbing images of abuse and | very disturbing images of abuse and domestic abuse, its a horrible crime, and i think given the seriousness of this, the home secretary needs to make sure that there is an independent assessment of the handling of this case,

other courts can't go. it can call mis other courts can't go. it can call mi5 witness, examine mi5 paperwork. were it to consider this case it could have a wider implication because where it to rule or make a finding that they hadn't conducted themselves properly, and the agent hadn't been handled properly that could have a wider implication for intelligence agencies, so really, this case, if they would take it on, could become significant.- could become significant. daniel, many thanrs- _ daniel, many thanks. after the conclusion of the metropolitan police's investigation into lockdown breaches in government, it's emerged that sue gray, the senior civil servant who has conducted her own inquiry, wants to name civil servants who broke the rules. the metropolitan police have not named any of the 83 individuals who have been fined. 126 fixed penalty notices were issued in total and ms gray is expect to publish her report next week. with more, here's our political correspondent alex forsyth.

there are conservative mps who still have their reservation, they will be watching closely, to see how the prime minister deals with the other big challenges facing the country, the economy, the cost of living, do not underestimate the damage this has done. thank you. nurseries in england say government plans to allow staff to look after more children will not cut costs for parents. ministers are considering changing the rules to help reduce the expense of childcare, amid the growing cost of living crisis. they say it could also improve the choice and availability of childcare places — but it's led to fears that childrens' well—being and development could be affected. our education editor branwen jeffreys reports. shall we give your hair a nice little brush? it's important for me that whatever i spend is spent on making sure that my child is happy, healthy and very well looked after and he's learning.

so to afford good childcare shroti uses the tax free scheme. many working parents don't know it's available from birth, but even so, for shroti and her husband, it's a big bill. it's a big chunk off your income that does go into childcare, but if i were asked would i compromise on the childcare and pay less, but perhaps not get the same level of childcare i get? i think i would have to say no. this financialjuggling won't get easier until next year. asha will turn three, and that is when working parents get 33 hours. the biggest cost for nurseries is staff, and that's at its highest in the room for children under two. some times we have points where one child needs a nappy change, one child needs to go to bed, another child needs a bottle, and doing all of them things, all at the same time, can become so difficult and very overwhelming.

this is the age when childcare is most expensive, and if you have two children under the age of three, it's one of the biggest bills that working parents face. nurseries have to follow strict childcare ratios. in england, nurseries must have one adult for every three children aged under two. for two to three—year—olds, it is one adult for every four children, but in scotland it is one adult for every five children this age. the government says bringing england into line with scotland's rules could cut costs, but research say improving take up of the tax free scheme would make more difference, and many nurseries don't want to take more children. i do not believe that we would adhere to it at all, even if the government said we could relax ratios. i don't believe any provider worth their salt would do so. it's kicking the can down the road. we have had years of under funding and under investment in early years,

and that's just another point of the government trying to avoid spending. england's childcare costs are high, compared to other countries. the government says it's trying to look for ways to make them more affordable. branwen jeffreys, bbc news, nottinghamshire. bristol university has been told to pay more than £50,000 in damages for disciminating against a student who killed herself. natasha abrahart�*s parents took action against the university, saying they had failed to make adjustments for her social anxiety disorder. natasha was 20 when she took her own life in april 2018. our correspondentjon kay sent this report. she was my perfect daughter, really. natasha was a star. she was academically wonderful. you could not have wanted a better daughter. maggie and bob abrahart have spent the last four years

fighting for their daughter, bringing a legal case against bristol university. today, 1,481 days after natasha took her own life, after years of protestations from the university that it did all it could to support her, after battling our way through an inquest in the civil trial, we finally have the truth. hello. you're pretty cool... natasha abrahart had chronic social anxiety. over several months, she'd struggled to stand up and speak in front of an audience — and on the day of her suicide she was due to give a presentation in a large lecture hall as part of her physics degree. her parents argued in court that the university should have adjusted the way natasha was assessed because of this disability. and today thejudge said he had no doubt there was direct discrimination and the university breached its duties under the equality act.

it is a wake—up call. it is a clear statement that universities must carefully consider whether their existing policies and practices will put any disabled students at a substantial disadvantage. they need to consider how their methods of assessment will impact on each and every student, including those with non—physical disabilities. in a statement this evening, bristol university sent its condolences to the abrahart family and said it had offered natasha alternative ways of being assessed and had helped her to get professional support. it said today'sjudgment could have a significant impact right across higher education, and it is now considering whether to appeal. the abraharts spent tens of thousands of pounds bringing this case to court, and they're calling for bristol university to apologise. the couple say they will now campaign in natasha's name

is "nearing completion. jeremy bowen has the latest. the russians are shelling severodonetsk, as they try to encircle it. more than 100,000 people lived in the city before the invasion. now, it is one of russia's biggest targets. this is russia using the methods it perfected in syria and chechnya. heavy bombardment to try to break the will of its opponents. ukrainian rescue crews can still operate to reach civilians who need to get out. day—by—day, family by family, russia is grinding forward. it's a long way to safety, down roads out of severodonetsk that the russians are shelling. they are trying to cut the city off from support, rescue and reinforcement.

children here were born into a war. ukrainians have been fighting russian—backed separatists in donbas since 2014. in moscow sergei shoigu, the defence minister, held a made for tv briefing, designed to back the kremlin's message that russia is winning. the minister said their advancing forces would soon take all off luhansk, which is one half of donbas, including severodonetsk. ukrainian combat engineers are trying to slow down the russian advance, laying charges to blow this bridge on a strategic road. president zelensky started with his good news. translation: the ukrainian armed

i forces continue to make progress. in liberating the kharkiv region, but the occupiers are trying to further strengthen the pressure in the donbas. it's hell and that is not an overstatement. bombardment of severodonetsk is brutal and meaningless. ukraine's defences in donbas are creaking, they are still not breaking. away from the front lines, life goes on in ukrainian cities. in the end, the outcome of this war depends on ukrainian resilience, on the amount of help its army gets from nato, and president putin's determination to fight on, whatever the cost to russia. jeremy bowen, bbc news, dnipro. our top story this evening. a woman who was terrorised and abused by an m15 agent takes legal

pitch last night after everton secured their premier league survival. it wasn't all celebration, though. as he tried to leave, patrick vieira was taunted by one fan and appeared to kick out. he later said he had nothing to say. at goodison park, that pitch invasion has brought mixed opinions. it is a cause for concern _ has brought mixed opinions. it is a cause for concern because - has brought mixed opinions. it is a cause for concern because there i has brought mixed opinions. it is a cause for concern because there is| cause for concern because there is going to be that minority that takes it too far. t going to be that minority that takes it too far. . ., going to be that minority that takes it too far. , ., , it too far. i can understand why t-eole it too far. i can understand why people would — it too far. i can understand why people would do _ it too far. i can understand why people would do it. _ it too far. i can understand why people would do it. it's - it too far. i can understand why people would do it. it's very . people would do it. it's very difficult _ people would do it. it's very difficult in the heat of the moment. but such— difficult in the heat of the moment. but such scenes are becoming worryingly commonplace. swindon say their players were verbally and physically abused last night after they were engulfed by fans following their defeat to port vale.— their defeat to port vale. players were being _ their defeat to port vale. players were being hit, _ their defeat to port vale. players were being hit, kicked, _ their defeat to port vale. players were being hit, kicked, spat- their defeat to port vale. players were being hit, kicked, spat at, i were being hit, kicked, spat at, verbally abused. it's just not on. and the dangers are too stark. yesterday a nottingham forest fan was jailed for head—butting billy

in two to four weeks. how do you catch it? well, it doesn't spread easily. this is not another covid—19. we require close physical contact with an infected person. so, skin to skin, exposure to skin blisters or scabs or perhaps touching clothing or bedding from the infected person. the uk health security agency said significant proportion of recent cases have been among gay and bisexual men and its urged them to be alert to the symptoms. there is a vaccine which is effective at preventing monkeypox and smallpox, smallpox has been eradicated of course. sajid javid has said the uk procured more doses and i understand some is daft and sexual health clinics have already received the vaccine. —— some staff in sexual health clinics. agriculture is becoming increasingly high—tech and automated, with robots which can pick crops —

and driverless tractors. but it also makes the sector vulnerable to cyber attacks, affecting the ability of farmers to bring in harvests. now, the bbc�*s rural affairs correspondent claire marshall has discovered that at least one top agriculturalfirm is turning to so—called "ethical hackers" for help. an autonomous robot roams the dry earth. this isn't science fiction, it's harvest time in gloucestershire. this machine guided by artificial intelligence could replace human asparagus pickers. i think this is the future. the uk requires over 30,000 seasonal workers every year, during the season, to harvest the crop, and they can't get that quantity of people any more, so we are developing this to kind of supplement that workforce. now a robot like this could help solve labour shortages, but it raises a whole new set of problems. more and more farm tech is linked to the internet, and the threat from malicious hackers is growing.

this is agricultural giant john deere's latest tractor — no human in the driving seat. highly sophisticated, but the company is now working with so—called ethical hackers, who have found vulnerabilities in the organisation's wider operating software. we made contact with one of them, who asked to remain anonymous. he believes a targeted attack on the industry could cause serious damage to food supply systems. so, you could literally stop a harvest in its tracks by getting into all the relevant systems and tractors? theoretically, yes, and that's what we're trying to prevent. if you can't move your tractor during that time, or if you can't take the crop out of the ground, you can imagine what would happen, it stops the whole thing, everything stops. that's worse case scenario, but that is possible. john deere says the weaknesses identified by the hacker so far could not be practically exploited by cyber criminals, and do not pose a threat to customers or their machines. it said the company's top priority is and always will be

to protect our customers, their machines and their data. however, experts warn this is bigger than one company. state sponsored cyber attacks are a growing threat. hacking into one tractor, yes, you, you could do some damage like that. hacking into a fleet of tractors you can do more damage. hacking into a whole organisation and supply chain can really disrupt, actually destabilise economies. meanwhile, out in the field, even every day farm machinery uses systems that are vulnerable. unless defences evolve as quickly as the technology, those who produce our food are increasingly at the mercy of cyber criminals. claire marshall, bbc news. eight more towns are to become cities to mark the queen's platinumjubilee — among them is bangor in northern ireland, from where our correspondent charlotte gallagher sends this report.

in colchester, people are ready to celebrate. time for a look at the weather. here's tomasz schafernaker. well, for some of us today it really wasn't a great day on the weather front with cloud and rain. it lasted for at least half a day in the south of the country but weekend is looking a bit better with some sunny spells on the way but also scattered showers. here is that widespread rain, it was quite heavy across the south—east but notice this next band of rain sweeping across the country in the last few hours, heavy showers across northern england, scotland and northern ireland. later this evening and overnight, the skies will eventually clear. there will be scattered showers carried from the atlantic in scotland but for the most part i think by early on saturday morning it is looking clear across much of the country. they could be a bit of cloud to start with, i think tomorrow the bulk of england and wales is looking bright,

if not country.
