hello, i'm maryam moshiri. this is outside source. photographs emerge apparently showing borisjohnson at a social gathering in downing street in november 2020, when the country was in lockdown. they show mrjohnson toasting a group of people standing closely together. if you think about where the nation was at the time and the restrictions people had, businesses or not able to open, and yet the prime minister looks like he is giving a speech, doing a toast. in looks like he is giving a speech, doing a toast.— doing a toast. in ukraine, a 21 euros russian _ doing a toast. in ukraine, a 21 euros russian soldier- doing a toast. in ukraine, a 21 euros russian soldier is - doing a toast. in ukraine, a 21 euros russian soldier is given | doing a toast. in ukraine, a 21. euros russian soldier is given life for the murder of a 60—year—old unarmed civilian at the start of the conflict. —— 21—year—old. on a visit

to asia, president biden says the us would intervene militarily in taiwan if china were to invade. and as monkeypox continues to spread across the world, the who says the numbers are still low and can be contained. we begin with the biggest story here in the uk. it's these photos that show borisjohnson drinking at a lockdown gathering in number 10 downing street. you can see he has that drink in hand, and he's standing behind a table with wine bottles and food. here's another — he appears to be raising his glass in a toast. there are two more pictures, so four in total. they were released by itv news a few hours ago. here's what we know, as per itv news. this photo was taken during the second strict lockdown on 13 november 2020. it was a leaving do for then—director of communications lee cain.

here's lawyer adam wagner. —— let's hear labour's response. this is clearly not a work meeting, this was a gathering of a social gathering, that was against the rules at the time. he has known all along and try to lie to the british public. i thing along and try to lie to the british public. ithing it along and try to lie to the british public. i thing it is appalling. people will be disgusted, i am sure about that —— i think it is. remember, there are two investigations into parties in downing street. the metropolitan police investigation — that's now finished. they looked at 12 events, issued 126 fines, including one for boris johnson. and the bbc knows that at least one person who attended this event in the photograph on the 3rd of november has been defined by police, but not borisjohnson. here's lawyer adam wagner. the rules are very strict. you were not allowed to gather indoors unless the gathering was necessary for work in this context, and if you'd participated in a gathering that was

not necessary for work, you would get a fixed penalty notice, you're committing a criminal offence. we know the prime minister did not get a fixed penalty notice for this gathering. i think it is correct to say others did, so others raising in that class in that picture did get if especially notice, then i suppose the question arises, why deprive minister seems to have got away with it? -- minister seems to have got away with it? —— why the prime minister. and this also matters because nearly a month later, a labour mp asked boris about parties on the exact date this picture was taken. will the prime minister tell the house whether there was a party in downing street on the 13th of november? prime minister. mr speaker, no, but i am sure that, whatever happened, the guidance was followed and the rules were followed at all times. well, that exchange will likely be the focus of the next week or so because of the ministerial code, which says... but here's where it's complicated.

they're expected to offer their resignation to the prime minister. that obviously makes things difficult if it's the prime minister accused of doing this in the first place. and mrjohnson has made it clear he won't resign. and so the labour party called a vote — that passed — for borisjohnson to face a parliamentary inquiry into claims he misled mps about those gatherings. and while parliament reacts to this, the public will too. jane wier—wierzbowska's mother, patricia, had alzheimer's and was in a gloucestershire care home where she died with covid—i9 injanuary. let's hear from her. the care home opened a pot november 2020, and i was allowed to see my mum behind glass —— opened a pod. it is emotional thinking about it now, but she would sit there and

beckon me through. and every time i would have a pod visit, i was having to split and i was not allowed to, yet again we have our prime minister in a social situation, seemingly no social distancing but having a drink and a laugh with other people, when i was denied that contact with my mum. let's talk to our political correspondence helen catt. helen, tell us, what more do we know about this event where this photo was taken? ~ ., ., , this event where this photo was taken? ~ . ., , ~ ., ., taken? we did already know about this event- — taken? we did already know about this event. it _ taken? we did already know about this event. it was _ taken? we did already know about this event. it was on _ taken? we did already know about this event. it was on the _ taken? we did already know about this event. it was on the 13th - taken? we did already know about this event. it was on the 13th of i this event. it was on the 13th of november 2020. that is when indoor socialising was banned in england. and it was a leaving do for the former director of communications at number 10, former director of communications at numberio, lee cain. as i former director of communications at number 10, lee cain. as i said, former director of communications at numberio, lee cain. as i said, we did know about this event but the police to investigate it, they did not find boris johnson for its. police to investigate it, they did not find borisjohnson for its. the bbc understands, though, that at least one other person who was at

that event did did a fine during the course of that investigation, and what this has done is to open up a lot more of the questions that were already being asked by the publication of this picture, so particularly in terms of, as you've already outlined, what borisjohnson has the department about what happened on that date, but also this evening lots of questions being asked the police. the scottish tory leader douglas ross, in terms of borisjohnson, had already said these photos seemed wrong. in terms of the police, the liberal democrats have written to the independent office police complaints to open investigation, because they say there could be public confusion about why boris johnson was there could be public confusion about why borisjohnson was not there could be public confusion about why boris johnson was not fine for something about why borisjohnson was not fine for something or about why boris johnson was not fine for something or you about why borisjohnson was not fine for something or you can about why boris johnson was not fine for something or you can see about why borisjohnson was not fine for something or you can see him in a room with other people, and the met police has been really at lowes to explain any of its decisions, saying it would not say why they had

made certain decisions on certain events, so i think there is going to be certain pressure on them to do that. ~ . . ,, that. what are downing street saying about this photograph? _ that. what are downing street saying about this photograph? downing - about this photograph? downing street are saying _ about this photograph? downing street are saying the _ about this photograph? downing street are saying the cabinet - about this photograph? downing i street are saying the cabinet office and he met police had access to all the information that was relevant to their investigations, and that included autographs, and he met have finish their investigation, the cabinet office — that is the investigation being led by the senior civil servants -- civil —— civil servant sue gray — downing street said her investigation had access to photographs, and once she publishes her report, at that point, the prime minister will address parliament in. white helen, think you very much. helen, thank you very much. let's move to ukraine, where a 21—year—old russian soldier has been given a life sentence for killing an unarmed

ukrainian man. targeting unarmed civilians is a war crime. here's james waterhouse. this wasn'tjust a trial, it was ukraine's day in court, with all eyes — and cameras — on 21—year—old vadim shishimarin. by legal standards, his journey to this dock has been quick. more than two weeks ago, the russian soldier was questioned over an alleged war crime. translation: we started moving. on the way, we saw a civilian talking on the phone. i was ordered to shoot and fired one round at him. he fell down. we moved on. today, the court heard how shishimarin shot a 62—year—old man, oleksandr shelipov, three to four times in the head. he was one of five russian soldiers who had stolen a car and drove into a village in the northeastern sumy region. he claimed he was ordered to kill mr shelipov over worries he'd give away their position. this clearly isn't an ordinary trial. vadim shishimarin�*s country, russia, denies deliberately targeting civilians in this war,

but it's the 21—year—old alone who's facing a ukrainian courtroom. his case, though, won't be the last. after a0 minutes, shishimarin learned his fate — a guilty verdict and a life sentence. translation: i am not satisfied by the verdict, | with the classification of this crime and the punishment. if a person is found guilty and sentenced, i believe a life sentence is too much. translation: the court had to study | all the evidence to closely and make| an absolutely legal decision, because the whole world - is watching this case. the kremlin has voiced its disappointment, but its response is already in motion. plans are being drawn up to try some captured ukrainian fighters as war criminals. james waterhouse, bbc news, in kyiv. as russia's advance falters, zelensky has said that the "world cannot be ruled by a brute force." here he is speaking to leaders at

the world economic forum in davos. translation: what should the sanctions be — translation: what should the sanctions be like? _ translation: what should the sanctions be like? simple, - translation: what should the sanctions be like? simple, so . translation: what should the | sanctions be like? simple, so that russia or any other potential aggressor that might want to attack aggressor that might want to attack a neighbour would know straightaway what the consequences are. i believe that such sanctions have stood up been introduced against russia and they should be. —— still not been. meanwhile, in sochi, president putin has had support from an ally, belarus and president lukashenko. lukashenko accused the west was trying to split up ukraine, saying poland was seizing the western region. he gave no evidence to back this up. but it's been an embarrassing day for russian diplomacy. russia's senior diplomat to geneva — boris bondarev — has resigned. in a statement published

on social media, he said... ..and that the war is... he also said his employer, russia's foreign ministry, is about war mongering, life and hatred. the bbc�*s steve rosenberg asked bondarev in a phone call earlier if his colleages at the foreign ministry share his feelings about the war. i think most people, the majority of them, are following the propaganda and what their superiors tell them. you know, when you work in the ministry, you work in a hierarchy, so you must obey what your superior tells you. and for many years, any critical dissent has been erased from the ministry, mostly. here's steve rosenberg.

we must keep in mind that boris bondarev is the most senior official, right, at the russian mission in geneva? he isa he is a counsellor but still he is on the diplomatic staff there, so this is an embarrassment. he admits that most officials in the foreign ministry support the government line on the special military operation, so i don't think the russian authorities will be too bothered by this resignation. now we're going to talk about some comments made by the us presidentjoe biden. he is injapan, on his first tour of asia as president, visiting regional allies. here he is with the japanese prime minister. and his comments are about taiwan. taiwan is a couple hundred kilometres off the coast of mainland china. the island behaves like an independent state, but beijing sees it as part of china.

and china wants to re—unite it with the mainland, if necessary, by force. let's hear president biden�*s comments now. this was at a press conference. are you willing to get involved militarily — are you willing to get involved militarily to defend taiwan if it comes to _ militarily to defend taiwan if it comes to that?— militarily to defend taiwan if it comes to that?- you - militarily to defend taiwan if it comes to that? yes. you are? militarily to defend taiwan if it comes to that?- you are? comes to that? yes. you are? that's the commitment _ comes to that? yes. you are? that's the commitment we _ comes to that? yes. you are? that's the commitment we made, - comes to that? yes. you are? that's the commitment we made, that's . comes to that? yes. you are? that's| the commitment we made, that's the commitment we made. look, here's the situation. we agree with the one china policy, we signed onto it and all the attendant agreements made from there, but the idea that it can be taken by force, just taken by force, isjust not be taken by force, just taken by force, is just not appropriate. be taken by force, just taken by force, isjust not appropriate. it will dislocate the entire region and be another action, similar to what happened in ukraine. that was president biden saying the us would intervene militarily to protect taiwan if it is attacked

by china, but it's committed to the one china policy. let's look at what this all means. the one china policy. it's that the us acknowledges china's position that there's only one chinese government. the us has formal ties with china, not taiwan. now let's look at its relationship with taiwan. the us has no official diplomatic ties with taiwan. but it sells arms to it as part of its taiwan relations act. that states that the us will provide the island with the means to defend itself. and the us describes its policy towards taiwan like this, "strategic ambiguity". that means it doesn't say it will defend taiwan, but it doesn't say it wouldn't. this china expert explains. and nowjoe biden says the us would. and it's not the first time

joe biden has said that. he was asked the same question in october. and he said... and after he repeated that on sunday, the white house quickly downplayed the comments. the white house had this response... but china has made it clear that it thinks president biden�*s remarks have crossed a line. translation: taiwan is a part of the chinese territory. _ translation: taiwan is a part of the chinese territory. the _ translation: taiwan is a part of the chinese territory. the taiwan - chinese territory. the taiwan question is a chinese affair. issues on china's interests, including territorial integrity, there is no question. no one should underestimate the

people's determination to defend... and should not stand against the chinese people. and all this is happening when tensions are particularly high between china and taiwan. this shows taiwan's self—declared air defence zone. recently, there have been record number of chinese military planes entering that zone, crossing an unofficial line between mainland china and taiwan. and president biden talked about that too. that —— they are already flirting with danger of flying so close, with all the manoeuvres. the united states is committed, we made a commitment. we support the one china policy, we support the one china policy, we support all we have done in the past, but that does not mean that china has the ability, as donna excuse me, thejurisdiction to go in and use force to take over taiwan —— excuse me. let's talk now to barbara plett usher. the white house has tried to

downplay those comments by president biden, but to some extent, the damage of those words has already been done. figs damage of those words has already been done. �* . ,, damage of those words has already been done. ~ , i. ., damage of those words has already been done. �* . ,, . , damage of those words has already been done. ~ , ., , been done. as you have been saying, the reason people _ been done. as you have been saying, the reason people are _ been done. as you have been saying, the reason people are paying - been done. as you have been saying, the reason people are paying so - been done. as you have been saying, | the reason people are paying so much attention to this is it seems to go against the us policy of strategic ambiguity, which is never quite to reveal how much the us would do, how far it would go to defend taiwan if china did invade, and now mr biden did not sound and biggie was at all, he said, yes, that the us would militarily intervene —— sound ambiguous. he did not clarify what that meant, but he did sound like it would mean more thanjust that meant, but he did sound like it would mean more than just giving taiwan arms, which it already does. and he has made such statements before, a number of times in the past year, but this one was the most forceful so far because of the way he framed it, in the russian ukraine conflict. he said if china would invade or go after taiwan i force, it would be so much what was happening in ukraine, and that made

the burden even stronger — presumably, the burden on the us. he did say, he was not expecting china to do that. he did say that china was —— the us was sticking with the one china policy, the white house saying the policy had not changed, but it did seem he was sending a message the us would not sit idly by if the chinese were to take forceful action against taiwan, and mrs being donein action against taiwan, and mrs being done in the context of the concerns that have been raised by what rush is doing —— this is being done. find is doing -- this is being done. and some peeple _ is doing —— this is being done. and some people have argued, given the russian invasion in ukraine, that that policy of strategic ambiguity potential is not the right course to follow at the moment, given what is happening in that region? there follow at the moment, given what is happening in that region?— happening in that region? there is a lot of interest _ happening in that region? there is a lot of interest in _ happening in that region? there is a lot of interest in congress _ happening in that region? there is a lot of interest in congress about - lot of interest in congress about taiwan and what is happening there. so there has been a lot of focus from congressional members on both sides of the aisle, and also administration officials, onjust administration officials, on just how administration officials, onjust how well the us is sending arms that

would allow taiwan to defend itself, whether it would be up to defending itself if china were to invade, and there been congressional visits there, and so there is pressure from congress to have a stronger stance with taiwan. there is also very much a watching in the region, as to how... would her message the russia — ukraine conflict sends —— what sort of message but if russia wins, without importing china? if russia loses, would that hold back on any kind of military venture if it would take that route, especially if there was a unified western reaction that was a unified western reaction that was maintained with russia? so it has focused attention on the taiwan— chinese tensions, which have been there for a long period of time, but this has made it more a centre of attention. {iii this has made it more a centre of attention. . ., , , attention. of course, the chinese have reacted _ attention. of course, the chinese have reacted quite _ attention. of course, the chinese have reacted quite angrily - attention. of course, the chinese have reacted quite angrily to - attention. of course, the chinese | have reacted quite angrily to what was said as well.—

she's told the bbc a uk government official stood by while iran forced her to sign a last—minute false confession at the airport. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe said she was told the iranian authorities wouldn't allow her to leave untuil she signed. she was talking to the bbc for women's hour, with emma barnett. so when you found out you were going to be released, i mean, i don't know, did you believe it? no. i did not believe it, not until i got off the plane. right. i was taken by the revolutionary guards to the airport. i did not see my parents. instead, i was made to sign a forced confession, at the airport, in the presence of the british government, where i was... can we just pause on that? so before you left iran... before i left iran, at the airport. you had to sign it? otherwise you wouldn't have been able to... they told me that i would not be able to get on the plane and i know that that was a last—minute game because i knew they were... they told me that they have

been given the money, so what is the point of me signing a piece of paper which is incorrect, it is a forced confession? to all the things they had been accusing you of? exactly, and also, the british government not questioning it, why i have to do it... so a british official was with you when you signed that? she was with me, yes. but also, the whole thing was filmed. the whole thing of me signing the forced confession was filmed. they enjoy showing how scary they are and the desperation of people. yes. so it is a tool of power? it is a tool, and i am sure they will show that some day. of you signing it? of me signing it. even though i was under duress and ijust want to put it here... on the record ? on the record, that all the false confessions that we have been exposed to, they have no value. they arejust propaganda for the iranian regime to show how scary they are and they can do

whatever they want to do. but it must have been something you felt that you just did not want to do, having fought and protested and known your innocence? it is dehumanising, in my opinion. yes. if you force someone to sign something that, first of all, i have finished my sentence, but also i haven't done it. well, that is the biggest point. why would i sign something i have been trying very, very hard for the past six years to say, "i have not done it"? we did ask the foreign office for a statement about the confession and there was nothing said specifically in response about it, but what was said was that "iran put nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe" — this is from a spokesperson — "through a horrendous ordeal "right up to the moment she left the country. "throughout that time, the uk government was working "tirelessly to end her unfair detention, but it was always "in iran's gift to release nazanin and to allow her to return "to the family."

to australia now, where the country's new prime minister, anthony albanese of the labour party, has been sworn in. this was that moment. right after that, he flew to tokyo to meet with the leaders of the quad group — the us, japan and india. the group wants to counter growing chinese influence in the indo—pacific region. and that was a focus of mr albanese's first press conference. the relationship with china will remain a difficult one. i said that before the election. that has not changed. it is china that has changed, not australia. and australia should always stand up for our values, and we will in a government that i lead. mr albanese is heading australia's first labour government in almost a decade. the party has won 7a lower house seats so far. but votes are still being counted to determine whether the labour party can get a majority. they need 78 seats for that. we also know that climate change was a central issue to this vote.

this is one article on the bbc website looking at how let's hear from the abc's james glenday in canberra on this. probably the biggest story out of this election, though, apart from the change of government, has been the parts of traditionally conservative areas of sydney and melbourne — kind of blue, liberal heartland — our liberal party is the conservative party here in australia — and they have been swept away in parts of those cities by new independents who are pro—serious action on climate change. and that's something our previous centre—right government was criticised for not having enough, and that is going to be fascinating, how that plays out. because for well over a decade, australia has had a very, very toxic political debate about how much we should be doing on climate change, given we're a relatively small country but a big emitter per capita. and i think that debate will continue, but there is much, much more pressure and i'd say there's much more

representation within the australian parliament now that will be trying to push for action on this issue. you are watching outside source. stay with us on bbc news. hello. there's been no shortage of cloud across the uk this monday, and it's been bearing rain for many. through the remainder of this week, plenty more showers to come, temperatures perhaps a little bit where we'd anticipate them for this time of year and often breezy. the influence of low pressure very much to thank of those conditions. through this evening and overnight, an area of low pressure drifts away from us into the north sea, but plenty of showers on its tail end still to run across england and wales during the small hours of tuesday. it does, though, become dry for northern ireland, scotland and northern england. perhaps not entirely shower—free, but relatively drier than it has been through the day. and cool actually, temperatures sliding down the single—figure scale, holding up in double figures further south. first thing tuesday

may not look too bad. some of those heavier showers will pull away. i think there'll be some early morning brightness, but come the afternoon, anticipate again showers developing just about anywhere, getting carried through on the north—westerly breeze. one or two heavier downpours mixed in there, and temperatures, well, struggling really to even get properly into the high teens. 16—18 just about covers it. a little bit quieter tuesday night into wednesday. blink and you'll miss it, there isjust a little ridge of high pressure there, but by wednesday morning, in comes our next low from the atlantic. quite a few isobars for your money there on that chart. that is going to add up to a windy wednesday across the uk. the rain perhaps becoming lighter as it gets across into eastern england by the afternoon. many areas brightening up quite well. further showers for northern scotland, but it does stay windy. these are the gusts wednesday afternoon, widely 30—110 mph. and in terms of temperatures, well, pretty much as we started the week, somewhere in the mid—teens quite widely across the uk. we do get towards the end

of the week, though, and finally things start to shift in a slightly quieter direction, shall we say? another low to run across on thursday, but i think rain mostly confined to the northern half of the uk. friday, it looks like high pressure will start to build up from the south and bring us a quieter spell of weather. it may mean we have a slightly cool northerly breeze across some eastern parts of the uk and a few showers here, but overall, in comparison to the picture we start the week with, we're definitely heading into a quieter spell, i think, from friday onwards.

hello, i'm maryam moshiri, this is outside source. photographs this is outside source. emerge apparently showing photographs emerge apparently showing borisjohnson at a social gathering in downing street november 2020 when the country was a lot down. they show the premise or toasting a group of people standing closely together. you toasting a group of people standing closely together.— closely together. you think about where the nation _ closely together. you think about where the nation was _ closely together. you think about where the nation was a _ closely together. you think about where the nation was a time - closely together. you think about where the nation was a time in i closely together. you think about | where the nation was a time in the restriction people had, businesses were not able to open and the prime minister looks like he is giving a speech, giving a toast, you know... in ukraine, 21—year—old russian soldier is given life of the murder of 62—year—old unarmed civilian at the start of the conflict. on a visit to asia, presidentjoe by the

would intervene militarily to defend taiwan and china were to invade. and if monkeypox continues to spread across the world, the who says numbers are still low and it can be contained. health officials in europe have reported more cases of monkeypox as the number of infections in countries outside africa increases. in the uk, 37 people have now been confirmed to have monkeypox. in the uk, 57 people have now been confirmed to have monkeypox. up until today, all those cases were in england. the first case in scotland was announced this morning. monkeypox has also been found in 11 other countries, including spain, portugal, sweden, france, belgium, germany, italy, switzerland and denmark. australia also has cases, as do canada and the united states. here's president biden earlier on monday. we've had this monkeypox in larger numbers in the past, number one. number two, we have vaccines to care for it, to take care of it.

number three, there is... thus far, there does not seem to be a need for any kind of extra effort beyond what's going on. and so, ijust don't think it rises to the level of the kind of concern that existed with covid—i9. and the smallpox vaccine works for it, so... but i think people should be careful. mr biden there talking about the smallpox vaccine. it works against monkeypox although they are not the same virus. dr chris smith is a consultant virologist and host of the naked scientist podcast. here he is on that. the smallpox vaccine is not a smallpox vaccine, it is a vaccine for another virus very similar to smallpox. but it also works 85% of the time against monkeypox, so we use that vaccine and if given quickly after contact, it can give the immune system a head start and it protects people from getting the infection.

so, how is it trasnmitted and what symptoms should we be looking out for? here's dr smith again. this is a respiratory infection and via close personal contact so, when you've got the infection, you are infected, symptomatic probably and infectious. you have the infection when you are symptomatic. it's not like covid where we had people were passing that on before they even knew they had it and had the symptoms. when you are actually symptomatic, that's when you are infectious. and the markers of that are... like a fever. they tend to have a sort of flu—like illness. they feel a bit cold and pains, and also you get a rash. and the rash can vary.

in some people, more dramatic than others, but it's little blisters or almost like spots and pimples. and those are crammed with virus particles, so you can breathe on somebody or if you have contact with those blisters and what's in them and that gets onto your skin or elsewhere, they can catch it via that route. and one possibility and we know this because the family of viruses to which this belongs tends to spread this way, you leave behind an infectious legacy on your bedclothes and on your clothes. and so, if someone handles bed linen or clothing that's been in close contact with someone while they were infectious, there will be some viral residue on there that could pass the infection on as well. let's get more on transmission. maria van kerkhove is a who expert on emerging diseases. transmission is really happening from close physical contact, - skin—to—skin contact. so, it's not... it's quite different - from covid in that sense. and what we are seeing our case - is being detected in the communities of men having sex with men, - who identify as having sex with men. the covid pandemic has taught us about the dangers of a virus

mutating into more lethal or transmissable forms. many are now asking whether this could happen with monkeypox. dr rosamund lewis is the head of the smallpox secretariat at the world health organisation. here's her answer to that. we can say that this is a dna virus. it's one of the largest, if not the largest, amongst the largest viruses known. the mutation rate is much lower than for rna viruses, and so it's a very stable virus. so, we don't yet have evidence that there is mutation in the virus itself. so, although monkeypox is a stable virus that doesn't tend to mutate, there are two forms of it — the west african, with a mortality rate of around i%, that's according to the world health organisation, and the one from the congo basin, which could have a fatality rate as high as 10%. which could have a fatality we are dealing with the form that comes from west aftica. that means most people will experience milder symptoms, with only around one in every 100 people who catch it developing serious, even life—threatening disease. here's the director of the eu's european centre for disease prevention and control, dr andrea ammon, on how we should be dealing with it. clear communication with at—risk groups and wider community

engagement is essential. countries should also update their contact—tracing mechanisms and their diagnostic capacity and review the availability of smallpox vaccines, anti—virals and personal protective equipment for health professionals. next, let's hear from the who's dr rosamund lewis again. she says they're working closely with african nations that are more used to dealing with this virus. we do have ongoing working relationships with the ministries of health and the laboratories in the african region. we have several countries that we work with very closely because they have been reporting monkeypox over the last few years. these include nigeria, the democratic republic of of the congo, central african republic and cameroon. this is where we are seeing cases being reported now and so we are working very closely with these countries to help respond and to help try and ascertain where... why this virus is now coming...

becoming more frequently reported, because it is well known to be, as you said, a zoonotic disease. so, it is primarily in the animal kingdom, in forested areas. now we are seeing it more in urban areas, and this week we are seeing it for the first time around the world. here in the uk, clinics have enforced strict ppe rules. one clinic in chelsea has sent several staff in the close isolation after coming in contact with one patient with monkeypox. a second clinic is also having staffs of muscling with the location has not been revealed. dr kathrine o'reilly is medical director at intenational sos, a health and security services firm. let me ask you for saw about the stringent ppe brought in for sexual health clinics with the wire that be particularly bad it right now? so as we know the _ particularly bad it right now? so as we know the virus _ particularly bad it right now? so as we know the virus arrived - particularly bad it right now? so as we know the virus arrived in - particularly bad it right now? so as we know the virus arrived in the i particularly bad it right now? so as we know the virus arrived in the uk

now we're going to talk about the big story here in the uk. it's these photos, that show borisjohnson drinking at a lockdown gathering in number 10 downing street. they were taken on december the 10th and 2020. the police have issued fines for gatherings on that day and the bbc has been told that at least one person who attended has been find it. borisjohnson was not. i asked our correspondent what might be behind that decision. the asked our correspondent what might be behind that decision.— be behind that decision. the rules ofthe be behind that decision. the rules of the time _ be behind that decision. the rules of the time of _ be behind that decision. the rules of the time of this _ be behind that decision. the rules of the time of this party _ be behind that decision. the rules of the time of this party were i be behind that decision. the rules| of the time of this party were quite clear that you could not be anyone indoors unless they were from your own household or unless the gathering was reasonably necessary for work. gathering was reasonably necessary forwork. police gathering was reasonably necessary for work. police don't want to discuss the individual decisions that they have taken but we can look at the decisions that had been taken across a series of events and assume the police have excepted them eight short leaving drink or somebody on their last day probably was within their last day probably was within

the rules. so why some might get fined and others not get fined for the same event, again police don't want to discuss the individual decisions, but each person will have been dealt with separately. so the prime minister may have popped in to make a short speech for ten minutes and then left and the policemen decided that was a legal leaving drink at the end of the working day. other people may have then stayed on for a much longer event and police had decided that that was not legal, was not necessary reasonably for work. i don't know for sure that the police reach their decisions and people may not like the reasoning here but i think that is my best guess as to have the police have find some people and not others. find find some people and not others. and downing street has said that the met police and sue gray have access to all evidence a photograph pertaining to the partygate affair so does that mean that they would have said this photo, do you think?—

photo, do you think? again i cannot be absolutely sure _ photo, do you think? again i cannot be absolutely sure but _ photo, do you think? again i cannot be absolutely sure but this - photo, do you think? again i cannot be absolutely sure but this looks i be absolutely sure but this looks like a photo that has been out there, has been around for a while within the investigation and therefore it is almost certainly one which the police will have considered or if not these particular ones, then once very similar to it. so i don't think that that group of people standing around with drinks in their hands and the prime minister speaking will have come as any surprise to detectives. they lament a decision about that as to whether that in their view fell within the health regulations and they have decided that at least the prime minister's role in that event did fall within the regulations or at least came close enough that they were not going to offer him a fixed penalty notice. iran's president says his country will "avenge" the killing of a colonel in the revolutionary guards who was shot in an apparent assassination on sunday. this is how state television

reported the news. colonel sayyad khodai was killd in tehran. he was a member of the quds force, an elite group responsible for operations overseas. two gunmen on motorcycles opened fire on colonel khodai as he sat in his car outside his home. he was hit by five bullets. iran's president said his forces were working to track down those responsible. translation: i insist on the serious pursuit by security officials _ of those responsible, and i have no doubt that the blood of this great martyr will be avenged. there is no doubt the hand of global arrogance can be seen in this crime. president raisi there blaming what he called the "global arrogance", a term used in iran to refer to the united states and israel. no party has so far said it carried out the killing, but israeli media are suggesting israel was behind it. the front page of the maariv

newspaper shows a target superimposed over the colonel�*s face. its headline is "an elimination in the heart of tehran". joel greenberg is from bbc monitoring injerusalem. what are israeli media saying about this incident? the media in israel are actually suggesting very heavily that israel was responsible for the assassination of this iranian officer. they are not saying it directly, but the articles and the portrayal of the event are suggesting very strongly that israel was involved. there is been no official comment but the medium is making it quite clear as far as they are concerned, their sources tell them that israel was apparently involved in this assassination. has it been any _ involved in this assassination. has it been any more information in the media or online about who this man was and why the israeli government may have potentially targeted him?

according to the reports in the media here again, these are not exhibited but they are coming from somewhere, and they are saying this officer was involved in directing attacks on his relay targets overseas, including businessmen and if a a plot recently reported here in israel about an attempt on a senior diplomat, a planned a tent on a diplomat at the consulate and istanbul. so there has been a lot of reporting again unsourced about alleged actions that this officer directed against his relay targets overseas, south america, africa, cyprus to name a few. stand overseas, south america, africa, cyprus to name a few.— overseas, south america, africa, cyprus to name a few. and how common are these types — cyprus to name a few. and how common are these types of _ cyprus to name a few. and how common are these types of alleged _ are these types of alleged operations by the israelis in foreign countries like for example around? ~ . ., ., ., around? well, and around the media here reported _ around? well, and around the media here reported out _ around? well, and around the media here reported out that _ around? well, and around the media here reported out that there - around? well, and around the media here reported out that there have i here reported out that there have been several assassinations of iranian nuclear scientists, attacks attributed to israel. and so the media here is saying that this was a

follow—up on that and in fact they call it a ratcheting up because it is now going beyond the nuclear scientists but also to the iranian islamic revolutionary guard corps. this was an officer in the revolutionary guards. so they are saying this is a new step, a step up, a ratcheting up of israel's operations in iran.— up, a ratcheting up of israel's operations in iran. and bring us up-to-date _ operations in iran. and bring us up-to-date about _ operations in iran. and bring us up-to-date about digital i operations in iran. and bring us i up-to-date about digital progress operations in iran. and bring us - up-to-date about digital progress on up—to—date about digital progress on the nuclear deal. up-to-date about digital progress on the nuclear deal.— the nuclear deal. well, again, israel has _ the nuclear deal. well, again, israel has been _ the nuclear deal. well, again, israel has been lobbying - the nuclear deal. well, again, israel has been lobbying very | israel has been lobbying very strongly in the premise or has spoken out publicly against removing the iranian revolutionary guards from the united states list of terrorist organisations. so some commentators today were pointing to the timing of this operation just as the timing of this operation just as the americans are negotiating, reviving the 2015 nuclear deal and israel's staunch opposition to removing the revolutionary guards from the terrorism list. so an attack on an officer of the revolutionary guards and the timing of this as one writer put it is not

coincidental.— still to come, the defamation case thatjohnny depp brought a his ex—wife enters its final but you look at how the trial has been played out on social media. the queen has visited this year's chelsea flower show and you think mobility vehicle to view the gardens was at the event returned to its traditional spring slot and has floral tributes to honour the platinum jubilee here. floral tributes to honour the platinumjubilee here. here is a report from help to honour the platinum jubilee here. report from help to honour the platinumjubilee here. here is the report from helen wilkinson. driven by a member of the royal household, the queen visited some of the tributes celebrating her platinum jubilee year. she's missed several events recently, but this is one of her favourites. on her tour, she'll take in the main display in her honour, a four—metre—high floral portrait. we've got one tonne of steel as a frame, in the lovely platinum purple, and then it supports

70 terra—cotta pots — one for each year of her reign. within the centre, we have a silhouette, again, of her majesty, using gorgeous rosemary for remembrance and an assortment of british trees. every garden here has been planned to perfection. this one has been made for children who have been treated at liverpool's alder hey hospital. it'll be transferred there once the show�*s finished. what's this one, betty? that one is mint. smell it. betty, who's four, spent months in intensive care after she was born prematurely. i think it's that opportunity to explore and to have those connections in the world that you don't get when you're stuck in hospital. before the gardens open to the public tomorrow, some well—known faces have been enjoying the displays. got everything, actually. lemons on my lemon trees dropping off, which i pick every night- for a gin and tonic.

i planted a himalayan silver birch. it is absolutely beautiful. over the next week, thousands of visitors will be able to enjoy the gardens in all their spring glory. helena wilkinson, bbc news, at the chelsea flower show. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. 0ur lead story is — photographs of immersion apparently showing the british prime minister borisjohnson at a social showing the british prime minister boris johnson at a social gathering in downing street in november 2020 when the uk was in full lockdown. let's turn to a huge story from the us, the defamation case that actorjohnny depp has brought against his ex—wife amber heard. it's now entered its seventh and final week. in an unexpected turn,

we're expecting johnny depp to take the defamation case was brought byjohnny depp after this article by amber heard in the washington post, where she said she was a victim of domestic abuse. johnny depp denies any abuse. he claims the article damaged his reputation and is suing amber heard for $50 million. she is counter—suing him for $100 million. here's some of what mr depp had to say during his initial testimony last month. never did i myself reach the point of striking ms heard in any way, nor have i ever struck any woman in my life. and this is amber heard describing a confrontation that she says took place on a plane. my back is turned to him, and i feel this boot in my back. he just kicked me in the back. i fell to the floor and caught

myself on the floor and just felt like i was looking at the floor of the plane for what felt like a long time. we're going to take a closer look at one aspect of the case now, the way it's played out on social media. we've seen plenty of videos like this on tiktok. and we know that the hashtag #justiceforjohnnydepp has gathered more than 15 billion views globally, while #johnnydeppisinnocent has garnered well over 11 billion. and to contrast the numbers, #justiceforamberheard has far less views, around 47 million. let's take a look at the wider context of this now. the bbc�*s shayan sardarizadeh works on our disinformation team. thanks forjoining us. let me ask you first of all there has been a lot of support forjohnny depp on social media, a lot more than amber heard it's fair to say. why is that? is not a new phenomenon for some

sources stay with us for play more to come. bye—bye for now. hello. there's been no shortage of cloud across the uk this monday, and it's been hearing rain for many. through the remainder of this week, plenty more showers to come, temperatures perhaps a little bit where we'd anticipate them for this time of year and often breezy. the influence of low pressure very much to thank of those conditions. through this evening and overnight, an area of low pressure drifts away from us into the north sea, but plenty of showers on its tail end still to run across england and wales during the small hours of tuesday. it does, though, become dry for northern ireland, scotland and northern england. perhaps not entirely shower—free, but relatively drier than it has been through the day. and cool actually, temperatures sliding down the single—figure scale, holding up in double figures further south.

first thing tuesday may not look too bad. some of those heavier showers will pull away. i think there'll be some early morning brightness, but come the afternoon, anticipate again showers developing just about anywhere, getting carried through on the north—westerly breeze. one or two heavier downpours mixed in there, and temperatures, well, struggling really to even get properly into the high teens. 16—18 just about covers it. a little bit quieter tuesday night into wednesday. blink and you'll miss it, there isjust a little ridge of high pressure there, but by wednesday morning, in comes our next low from the atlantic. quite a few isobars for your money there on that chart. that is going to add up to a windy wednesday across the uk. the rain perhaps becoming lighter as it gets across into eastern england by the afternoon. many areas brightening up quite well. further showers for northern scotland, but it does stay windy. these are the gusts wednesday afternoon, widely 30—40 mph. and in terms of temperatures, well, pretty much as we started the week, somewhere in the mid—teens quite widely across the uk.

we do get towards the end of the week, though, and finally things start to shift in a slightly quieter direction, shall we say? another low to run across on thursday, but i think rain mostly confined to the northern half of the uk. friday, it looks like high pressure will start to build up from the south and bring us a quieter spell of weather. it may mean we have a slightly cool northerly breeze across some eastern parts of the uk and a few showers here, but overall, in comparison to the picture we start the week with, we're definitely heading into a quieter spell, i think, from friday onwards.
