hello. welcome to bbc news. photographs have emerged tonight of a party held in downing street in november 2020 when the country was in lockdown. they show the prime minister with a drink in his hand toasting and addressing a group of people who appear to be standing closely together. labour says the images obtained by itv news prove that boris johnson images obtained by itv news prove that borisjohnson lied in his claims that he was not aware of gatherings in number 10, which breached covid rules. last week police concluded their investigation into lockdown breaches in whitehall and in all 126 fines were issued, one to mrjohnson. downing street said police had access to all information including photographs. a separate inquiry by sue gray is expected at some point this week and

our political editor chris mason reports. it's november 13th 2020, the country is in lockdown, and this is what is happening in downing street. look at these pictures, obtained by itv news. the prime minister raising a glass, holding forth, bottles littering a table. and the rules at the time — no person may leave or be outside of the place where they are living without reasonable excuse. we now know there were two gatherings in number 10 that night. borisjohnson was asked about one of them in the commons six months ago. will the prime minister tell the house whether there i was a party in downing street on the 13th of november? - prime minister. mr speaker, no, but i'm sure that whatever happened, the guidance was followed and the rules were followed at all times. tonight, labour renewed its call for the prime minister to resign. this is clearly not a work meeting,

this is clearly a gathering, a social gathering, that was clearly against the rules at the time. now, borisjohnson knows this and he knew this all along, and he'sjust tried to lie to the british public, and it seems like he's laughing at them now. i think it's appalling. people will be disgusted by it, i'm pretty certain of that. remember, angela rayner and labour's leader keir starmer are themselves subject to a police investigation over an alleged covid rules breach. before the pictures of the downing street do were published this afternoon, the prime minister was on a school visit in orpington, in south—east london, this morning. 0h! come on, come to our party, love from... that's so nice of you, thank you. have you invited him to a party? thank you very much. that's wonderful, thank you. after this invite from a pupil, he was asked by a journalist about the imminent report into lockdown parties by the senior civil servant sue gray. i'm, with great respect, not going to comment or give any running commentary on her report until we get it.

and i think that, to be frank, the moment is not very far off. it can't be long now before i'll be able to say something, but i really want to wait, as i've said for a long time now, until the report. in bristol, there's anger, as people see the photos. it's just really annoying. i'd like to think that while he was saying what he was saying, - it was genuine and we were all doing what he was asking us to do. - and quite clearly, he's not doing what he said at the time. - he made the rules and he broke the rules. and he says he didn't, so he lies. in response to these pictures, downing street say the police and the civil service investigations into what went on had access to all the information they needed, including photographs. joining us now is ruth davidson who was the leader of the scottish conservative party for eight years until 2019 and then later of the

scottish conservative party in the parliament for two years until last year. thank you forjoining us. in some ways, this could be the start of a lot of stories like this, given that the sue gray report is going to come out. do you think the government is still on the defensive? i government is still on the defensive?— government is still on the defensive? ~' ., government is still on the defensive? ,, ., ., defensive? i think overnight we have seen a lot of — defensive? i think overnight we have seen a lot of briefing _ defensive? i think overnight we have seen a lot of briefing against - defensive? i think overnight we have seen a lot of briefing against sue - seen a lot of briefing against sue gray as an individual, we have seen things on social media today regarding her son and i am not sure thatis regarding her son and i am not sure that is the wisest course of action. you think that must be coming from government? i you think that must be coming from government?— you think that must be coming from covernment? ., �* ,, ., , , government? i don't know, i presume that it is coming _ government? i don't know, i presume that it is coming from _ government? i don't know, i presume that it is coming from people - government? i don't know, i presume that it is coming from people who - that it is coming from people who think they are doing the prime minister a favour but i do not think it does. i think it does just muddy the waters. i think what we have seen today is pictorial evidence that what the prime minister stood up that what the prime minister stood up in the house of commons and said was not true. he was asked directly was not true. he was asked directly was there a party on this day and he

said no and he said whatever happened, all the rules were followed. we know at least one person at that gathering has been fined by the metropolitan police and thatis fined by the metropolitan police and that is also not true. he was aware of that happening, he was there and it very clearly broke the rules. there seems to be a view amongst many political analysts and observers that whatever the arguments over the detail of this, the broaderfact is arguments over the detail of this, the broader fact is that the public has taken a view on this and that nothing that appears in the sue gray report will alter the public perception of what happened, therefore is there much point in these endless calls, for the prime minister to resign? these endless calls, for the prime ministerto resign? he these endless calls, for the prime minister to resign? he has been asked to resign and said he will not, we know the situation, we will know more details later this week when the report appears and lots of people say, we know that, can we not just move on? i people say, we know that, can we not just move on?—

just move on? i think, when it became clear _ just move on? i think, when it became clear that _ just move on? i think, when it became clear that the - just move on? i think, when it became clear that the prime l just move on? i think, when it - became clear that the prime minister had misled parliament a number of weeks ago and he had presided over a widespread culture of lawbreaking and he had broken the law himself and he had broken the law himself and we have known that for several weeks now, if he had been removed from office i think they would be an argument, because they would be a new prime minister and we would be in a leadership contest and you could see that the culture had changed, but i don't think that is where we are. the prime minister is still there, i am an old fashion conservative and believe that the office of prime minister is more important than any person that inhabits it at any one time and it is the office that needs to be protected, even from the person that might be the current impasse —— micro incumbent. where i have a difficulty, the only person, the only people that can remove a sitting conservative prime minister are the mps and if you asked 100 of my colleagues is it ok to mislead parliament and lied to parliament, they would say no, is it ok for a prime minister to break the law, they would say no, is it ok for the

prime minister to be in charge of a government and another ten that breaks the law and they would say no and yet they have sat on their hands and yet they have sat on their hands and do nothing and they continue to do nothing and that is where i have a difficulty. do nothing and that is where i have a difficul . ~ . , a difficulty. what did they say? presumably — a difficulty. what did they say? presumably you _ a difficulty. what did they say? presumably you do _ a difficulty. what did they say? presumably you do challenge l a difficulty. what did they say? - presumably you do challenge them. what is their explanation for accepting all they have heard, they still do not think it is appropriate or timely to challenge his continued leadership? i or timely to challenge his continued leadershi - ? ~' ., ' leadership? i think for different --eole it leadership? i think for different people it is _ leadership? i think for different people it is different _ leadership? i think for different people it is different reasons, l leadership? i think for different i people it is different reasons, for some of them but they do not believe that it some of them but they do not believe thatitis some of them but they do not believe that it is a resigning matter, that having these sorts of social drinks and occasions is a resigning matter. i personally disagree, i think that if you impose the most severe crackdown on laws and restrictions in this country in peace time we have ever seen and you do not live up have ever seen and you do not live up to them yourself, that is wrong. i believe we should hold our leaders to a higher standard.

i believe we should hold our leaders to a higherstandard. i i believe we should hold our leaders to a higher standard. i believe you should lead by example. i believe you should be honest and tell the truth to parliament. if they do not believe that, that is with some of them say, some say it is not the time, the war in ukraine has superseded this. personally, i think when there are big geopolitical advance, that is when you need to have confidence in the leaders of your country and not have something like this hanging over them. i choose to disagree on that. i accept their reasons and there are some who think that he will escape from this in the way he has before and he will lead the party on to some form of general electoral glory, but i think the pictures we have seen today are probably going to be used at the next general election and they will not be used by the conservative party. not be used by the conservative pa . . r' not be used by the conservative pa . ., ,~' , ., not be used by the conservative pa . ._ ., party. let me ask you finally, how corrosive do _ party. let me ask you finally, how corrosive do you _ party. let me ask you finally, how corrosive do you think _ party. let me ask you finally, how corrosive do you think this - party. let me ask you finally, how corrosive do you think this says i party. let me ask you finally, how corrosive do you think this says to | corrosive do you think this says to the conservative party, given that

colleagues who may not agree with what he has done, but i felt obliged to go out and defend him publicly? my to go out and defend him publicly? my concern is more corrosive how this is to the country, because i think when you have someone in a position like this, not playing by the rules or obeying the law, it reduces the belief in playing by the rules and reduces their belief in the rule of law and their belief in institutions and i think it is corrosive to the way in which we run our country. i think that we should and we should not be ashamed of holding those that we elect to high office and put in leadership positions, of holding them to a higher standard and i think the public will not forget, they know what they were doing in november, they know they could not hold the hand of a loved one dying in hospital or attend a funeral, or mate a family member that ijust had a new baby and they know what they gave up and what they sacrificed and what they were asked to sacrifice when this man, who was in charge and

telling them to make sacrifices, was holding up a glass of champagne in a room littered with empty bottles of wine, making a toast, making a speech, and encouraging people to meet and socialise, knowing that he had been on television saying it was against the rules. i do not think the voters of this country will forget that in a hurry.- the voters of this country will forget that in a hurry. thank you very much- _ forget that in a hurry. thank you very much. doctor— forget that in a hurry. thank you very much. doctor catherine - forget that in a hurry. thank you - very much. doctor catherine haddon is a resident historian and specialist on the workings of the british constitution who joins us now. i saw an interview today with peter hennessy, the doyen of writing, both as a formerjournalist and historian about the british political system and he said that he thinks our system is based on the good chap or good woman theory, that the person at the top will always do the person at the top will always do the right thing and will obey the rules and all the rest of it and he says the prime minister has driven a

coach and horses through that. when you look at this picture again, does that reinforce that analysis? j that reinforce that analysis? i think in a sense ruth davidson has hit on the dilemma at the heart of this, we have a system of government were in terms of accountability, ultimately it sets with parliament and sits with mps and therefore the calculations when it comes to accountability for wrongdoing in government becomes very political. that is inevitable in a sense when you have a system where parliament sits at the top of that and that is the reason why there is so much frustration, notjust with the situation we are in now but the process of investigation to get here, because for a lot of people they do not want thatjudgment to be political, they wanted to be more black—and—white, if you have done wrong, you must pay the consequences, but it is the nature of the system in which we live and i think there are things that we should take from this and learn about and one is how we can better

do investigations into this, that it should not be up to the prime minister to decide whether or not there is an investigation into whether or not he has broken the ministerial code and we need these things to happen quicker, because this has been going on for months and even with the same grey report coming out, that is going to be a lot more facts, possibly many more pictures. it is not going to resolve all of the questions and it will not resolve the other question which is whether or not the prime minister is believed by mps to have deliberately misled parliament, we will have to wait more weeks and months for that to be resolved.— to be resolved. what difference could this report _ to be resolved. what difference could this report may, - to be resolved. what difference could this report may, given - to be resolved. what difference l could this report may, given that to be resolved. what difference i could this report may, given that a lot of the information in its broadest sense we had already? taste broadest sense we had already? we have, broadest sense we had already? - have, but we have had snippets coming out, eyewitness accounts being leaked into the papers, we have obviously had a few photographs now, obviously the metropolitan police have had an investigation and therefore learned about a number of fines and we know that the threshold

back when this investigation was launched in december last year, whether or not any covid laws have been breached, that was passed by a long way, that certainly has occurred. i think what is important, with the sue grey report, whether it comes out tomorrow or wednesday, as we are going to start hearing some more detailed facts and at the heart of what she was asked to do was to set out the nature of the gatherings and we will be hearing a lot more detail about who was at these various things and what kind of gathering they were. he said it yourself, people can draw their own conclusions from the pictures this evening, but i think a lot more of that detail will help mps make their own mind up. as i say, because of the system we have, in the end that is where we will be left, with the political decision about whether or not they want to keep boris johnson and at the moment it looks like they do. . ., and at the moment it looks like they

would not allow her to leave unless she did. here is caroline holly. relief all round, as nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe and fellow hostage anoosheh ashoori arrive back in the uk in the early hours of a march morning. to secure their release, the uk had finally settled a long—standing military debt. but nazanin has now revealed there was another condition for her release. i was made to sign the forced confession — at the airport, in the presence of the british government. whereas... can we just pause on that? so before you left iran... before i left iran, at the airport. you had to... had to sign it. otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to leave. they told me that, "you won't be able to get on the plane." and i knew that that was, like, a last—minute game, because i knew... they told me that they have been given the money. so what is the point of making me sign a piece of paper which is incorrect, it's 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. you can see the foreign secretary in the background of this family video at raf brize norton. their release is the result of years of tenacious british diplomacy... i but now, nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe's mp says liz truss needs to set out in parliament what she knew about the forced confessions. morad tahbaz — an environmentalist, born in west london — was supposed to be released from jail as part of the same deal. he was, in fact, allowed out forjust 48 hours and then stuck back in his prison cell. his daughter told me that he and the family are devastated, that the uk should have stood its ground and insisted that he too come home. i think it's also, to a certain extent, a sort of betrayal, because we were always consistently assured by every foreign secretary that's been in place, as well as the prime minister himself, that my father was going to be treated equal to all of the uk hostages that were being held in iran. and he was the only uk—born one, but he was also the only one

that they chose to abandon. and he's still there, waiting to come home to us. the reunions that did take place were filled with joy, but now come questions about what preceded them. the foreign office says mrs zaghari—ratcliffe was put through a horrendous ordeal, right up until the moment she left the country, and it's urged iran to end its practice of unfairly detaining british and other foreign nationals. caroline hawley, bbc news. jeremy hunt, the conservative mp, former foreign secretary helped to try and bring nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe home and earlier he told evan davies on radio four that this was his reaction to the false confession.— that this was his reaction to the false confession. well, it is very shocking. _ false confession. well, it is very shocking. very _ false confession. well, it is very shocking, very inhumane - false confession. well, it is very shocking, very inhumane and i false confession. well, it is very shocking, very inhumane and it| false confession. well, it is very - shocking, very inhumane and it sums up shocking, very inhumane and it sums up the kind of government that we are sadly dealing with in iran, that they would make her do this at the very last moment. i think she, as we

can see from the clips, she is very brave and spirited. i am sure she will want to know why the british official with her maid thatjudgment not to intervene, one can speculate that maybe it was a split—second judgment made that the thing that mattered right at that moment was to get her out of the country as quickly as possible, because only then would she be safe. she is absolutely entitled to ask that question. and indeed he has the bigger question that emma was talking about, which was why it took six years to get her home, because although the responsibility for this terrible thing lies squarely with iran, we also took a very long time to solve the problem. that iran, we also took a very long time to solve the problem.— to solve the problem. that was jeremy hunt — to solve the problem. that was jeremy hunt talking _ to solve the problem. that was jeremy hunt talking on - to solve the problem. that was jeremy hunt talking on bbc - to solve the problem. that was i jeremy hunt talking on bbc radio to solve the problem. that was - jeremy hunt talking on bbc radio 4 and nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe's interview with emma barnett is on woman's hour at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. also you will be able to

commentary about the decision to go ahead with the trial of this kind, was the country is at war. a, ahead with the trial of this kind, was the country is at war. a crime has been committed _ was the country is at war. a crime has been committed on _ was the country is at war. a crime has been committed on its - was the country is at war. a crime i has been committed on its territory, it is perfectly capable of conducting a fair trial, there is nowhere else where the trial should be held and i think they did the right thing. be held and i think they did the right thing-— be held and i think they did the riauhtthin. ~ ., right thing. would you say the same if it was a ukrainian soldier - right thing. would you say the same if it was a ukrainian soldier being i if it was a ukrainian soldier being prosecuted in russia?— if it was a ukrainian soldier being prosecuted in russia? well, if he was prosecuted _ prosecuted in russia? well, if he was prosecuted in _ prosecuted in russia? well, if he was prosecuted in russia - prosecuted in russia? well, if he was prosecuted in russia you - prosecuted in russia? well, if he i was prosecuted in russia you would have the question ofjurisdiction, of someone in russia tried for crimes committed in another country and then it would be more appropriate for the international criminal court and russia could perhaps refer the matter there. in principle, no, if you have criminals committing offences they are subject to jurisdiction committing offences they are subject tojurisdiction in committing offences they are subject to jurisdiction in any country and they are entitled to go on trial. the defendant in this case, now convicted, argued in part in his defence that he was obeying orders. many people assume that that had long since been discounted because

of nuremberg, does it still have any validity in terms of defence or in mitigation or in any other way can count towards a defendant arguing they are effectively under the duress of discipline of command? it is no defence in law, the soldier is expected to know the lawjust as much as the man giving him the order and the man giving that person the order. a crime is a crime and if you committed, you are guilty. if you are acting on the spur of the moment, underan are acting on the spur of the moment, under an orderfrom someone and that order is an illegal order, that can amount to mitigating the sentence, interestingly enough, i see that this young man got life imprisonment so it appears that there was no adjustment to the sentence for mitigation, but rather the sentence will be reviewed on appeal and i have not read what, if anything, the trialjudge has said about whether they accepted that he had responded to an order. [30 about whether they accepted that he had responded to an order.— had responded to an order. do you think trials —

effective, yes it was effective, and ultimately he and others were held to account for their crimes, how do you see that happening in this case? it is hard to know whether it will happen in this case, perhaps i can leap to the end of my observation and then come back to the point you asked me about, what is important in this case is that every conceivable effort is made, assuming that vladimir putin is indicted by the international criminal court, every conceivable effort is made to have him surrendered, properly tried and if convicted, punished and the reason that is important, it's because this is not a one—off war, it is a war in what is now quite likely to be a series of similar events by russia or by other similar powers and trial of the leadership is absolutely critical to exercise or affect maximum deterrent, deterrence on others who would be

maybe doing the same thing. that is very important. whether it is so important to deal with all the sergeants and corporals and privates and captain is majors and so one is and captain is majors and so one is a political decision and it does not necessarily have to happen quite so immediately, norwould necessarily have to happen quite so immediately, nor would it be possible for it to happen quite so quickly,. the case against putin is as clear as can be and is available on television on the trial may not last long, the trial against an individual soldierfor last long, the trial against an individual soldier for killing someone if there is no video of it or he does not abet it, might be much more difficult to prove and may take a much longer period of time. we should not mix up the two different trial processes, the leadership trial, it should happen and it should determine once and for all who is in the moral right and who is on the moral wrong, so that once the fighting has ceased, parties on both sides can move forward knowing where moraljustice

lies. trials of the others, are perhaps better characterised under for pollen allergy, for yellow cards and red cards, they can take place over time. hello. there's been no shortage of cloud rolling across the uk this monday, and for the majority of us, it has borne some rain. through the remainder of this week, plenty more showers to come, quite cool and that will be thanks to the north—westerly or westerly breezes that set up, which take us through this evening and overnight. we've got low pressure pulling out into the north sea, but quite a cluster of showers still to follow on its tail for england and wales. becoming dry relatively, though, for northern ireland, northern england and scotland, and with clearing skies into the small hours of tuesday, temperatures will slide down the single—figure scale, particularly in the more rural areas. further south, temperatures

close to double figures. first thing tuesday probably not looking too bad. some of those heavier showers will clear away eastwards through the morning, the sun will come out, but then the shower clouds will build once again and we'll see some localised heavy downpours to get us through tuesday afternoon. quite a cool breeze, too. temperatures 16—18 at best. welcome back. borisjohnson was shown at a social gathering in downing street when the country was in lockdown. she tells the bbc showers for to sign a for confession before leaving. as the uk officials the back and watched. the 21—year—old russian soldier gales for life and admits killing an unarmed civilian in ukraine the countries first war crimes trial. a number of confirmed cases of

at the property in wrexham. police said the man suffered a cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead at the scene. the dog was euthanised by a vet and the incident is now being investigated. the number of confirmed cases of monkeypox in the uk has nearly trebled to 57 including the first case in scotland. close contacts of those infected are being advised to self isolate for 21 days. here's our medical editor fergus walsh. more than a dozen countries in europe, north america and australia have reported cases of monkeypox, the biggest outbreak ever seen outside africa. but it is not another covid. experts stress the overall risk to the public is low. so what is monkeypox? it's a virus found in animals, including monkeys and rats, in several african countries which occasionally infects people. the first outbreak in humans was over 50 years ago. it usually causes a mild illness, though it can

occasionally be fatal. we've seen a few cases in europe over the last five years, just in travellers, but this is the first time we're seeing cases across many countries at the same time in people who have not travelled to the endemic regions in africa. what are the symptoms of monkeypox? symptoms can take up to 21 days to appear after infection. key among them is a rash, often on the face or genitals. this develops into blisters and, finally, scabs. it can be mistaken for chickenpox. monkeypox usually resolves within two to four weeks. so how do you catch it? monkeypox does not spread easily. it requires close contact, mainly skin to skin, and exposure to the blisters which contain the virus or contact with clothing or bedding of an infected person. it can spread through coughs and sneezes,

but is much harder to catch than covid. many of the current cases are in gay or bisexual men. it's very important not to stigmatise. infections don't choose people's characteristics. we are talking about a spread between people with close contact, and therefore anybody who has close contact with somebody else with monkeypox is potentially at risk of coming across it and acquiring the infection. the smallpox vaccine gives a high level of protection against monkeypox. they're from the same family of viruses. the uk has bought more doses, and some staff at sexual health clinics have already had the jab. in london, around ten staff from the chelsea and westminster hospital sexual health service are self—isolating at home

purely as a precaution. clinics have now brought in stringent ppe requirements when dealing with the virus. fergus walsh, bbc news. there's been major travel disruption in scotland after scotrail, which runs most trains there, introduced a new temporary timetable cutting almost 700 services every day. now in the midst of the current cost of living crisis, there have been calls to "tax the rich" but perhaps from an unlikely source: some of the rich themselves. this was a protest at davos yesterday, outside the world economic forum the annual gathering of the world's leading power brokers where a group of over 150 millionaires released an open letter, headed "in tax we trust". it says the "bedrock of a strong democracy is a fair tax system". "as millionaires, we know that the current tax system is not fair." and it goes on to say: "restoring trust requires taxing the rich. tax us, the rich, and tax us now. we can speak now to a founding member of "patriotic millionaires uk", julia davies: thank you forjoining us. we have become successful in business and that explains their wealth. you have

given a lot of your money away particularly to environmental causes. there are those who say actually, they taxes will never fully be able to capture the full range of investments that people have, that wealthy people had and actually if you do that it will discourage them from doing a lot of the good things they do as you do yourself, what is your response to that? i can imagine that argument made from some of those who are wealthy themselves.— made from some of those who are wealthy themselves. writing for too lona we wealthy themselves. writing for too long we have _ wealthy themselves. writing for too long we have the _ wealthy themselves. writing for too long we have the assumption - wealthy themselves. writing for too long we have the assumption that i wealthy themselves. writing for too long we have the assumption that if you are extremely wealthy you want to hold onto that wealth yourself. we almost accept that if you are wealthy you have to be selfish and the most we can accept from wealthy people is for dems to choose to donate to whatever causes they to support themselves but that does not have to be the case. they're in a situation where as a wild and a nation we are facing multiple extreme crisis. and we've just had

national insurance increased on working people on the money that people receive from their neighbour. it really is now the time when we look to increase taxation on wealth because we do need to increase our funding of multiple public services and we cannotjust rely on people of goodwill to do that for charities and our nhs needs more funding and we need to tackle the climate crisis tjy we need to tackle the climate crisis by insulating homes and investing in renewables and we can only do that with a good tax and it's not fair for that tax burden to fall predominantly on those people who are working as opposed to earning money from the wealthy already have. in what ways do you and your organisation think it can be done that's not being done now? is it just putting up the higher rate of tax? what is it you think the british government and other governments are not doing? thea;r british government and other governments are not doing? they are not considering _ governments are not doing? they are not considering a _ governments are not doing? they are not considering a tax _ governments are not doing? they are not considering a tax on _ governments are not doing? they are not considering a tax on wealth. -

providing food, their wealth is increasing exponentially so we have to be looking at a form of taxation which take some of that windfall profits and uses that to help address these incredible crisis we have in the same research found that a windfall tax on just that increase in wealth not the existing wealthy people have by the increasing wealth they came during the pandemic could tackle world hunger and that the scale of the figures we are talking about here. scale of the figures we are talking about here-— scale of the figures we are talking about here. ., ,, y., ., ., ,, ., about here. thank you for talking to us. scientists discover that the underwater volcano is still intact and researchers are expecting to find large sections of collapse. the eruption is the biggest explosion on earth in more than a century. generating a simile which devastates the closest items around tonga'uiha.

quite widely across the uk. we get towards the end of the week and finally things start to shift in a quiet direction and another low on thursday but rain confined to the northern half of the uk and friday it looks like high pressure will build up from the south and bring us a quieter spell of weather. it may mean we have a clue more than pleased across some eastern parts of the uk in a few showers here but overall in comparison to the picture we will start the week getting into a quieter day on friday on rates.
