news. let�*s get more from our political correspondent nick eardley in westminster. how is this going down politically? well, it�*s a bigger package than some people expected it to be and has been widely welcomed at westminster, both by conservative mps who desperately wanted the government to come up with an answer to the cost of living questions they were being asked, and by opposition mps. 0ne were being asked, and by opposition mps. one of the things in particular that we have heard from economists who have looked at this is that it is going to help the poorest the most, the people who are struggling most, the people who are struggling most with the cost of living crisis will get the most support from the government. so when it comes to the spending, that has gone down pretty well. when it comes to where the money has coming from, as you just heard in andy�*s piece there, the windfall tax is a bit more controversial. some conservatives are uncomfortable with it. that goes

right up to cabinet level. the business secretary, kwasi kwarteng, for example, is nervous about the fact that bp have said they are now going to look again at some of their investment plans for the uk. so the spending side of it is popular. the way the money is being raised is more controversial. we have heard the prime minister say in the past hour that he thinks this is a big bazooka package that will help redistribute wealth to people who need it the most. but the big question the chancellor is also facing is how long it could potentially go on for. he left the door open this morning to another support package if necessary, if energy prices stay high next year. in the past few minutes, there has been a resignation over partygate? there has indeed. paul holmes, a ministerial aide to the home secretary, has resigned, talking about his dislike of the culture in

number ten and the damage that the row has done the government. it is still a trickle of mps who have been calling for a rethink of government since the sue gray report came out. i make it five or six now who have spoken out since that report. but remember, there were a lot more before. i suspect number ten bit nervous that some people are going home this weekend and reevaluating their position, some deciding that they can�*t back the prime minister any longer. they can't back the prime minister an loner. w' they can't back the prime minister any longer-— any longer. nick eardley in westminster. _ russian—backed separatist leaders in eastern ukraine say they�*ve captured the town of lyman, as russian forces persist with their offensive in the donbas region. lyman is on the road to the ukrainian city of slovyansk, which is a key russian target as moscow tries to take full control of the donbas. there�*s no way of verifying the claim. in his nightly address, ukraine�*s president volodymyr zelensky said moscow seemed intent on reducing cities in the east to ashes and that the russian offensive could leave the donbas region uninhabited. 0ur correspondent, joe inwood, sent this report from kyiv.

this is what liberation by the russians looks like. popasna in the donbas region. 0nce 20,000 people lived here. now it is almost deserted. natalia is one of the few who remains. translation: iwas- sleeping here last night. i just have to fix the window somehow. the wind is still bad, cold at night. she had seen the destruction of this invasion first—hand. two people back then were dead. they were sitting outside to cook and a projectile came flying. eight people were wounded at once. someone was standing with the cattle, somebody was cooking for the neighbours, and then eight got wounded. popasna is the town where russian forces broke through ukrainian lines and began their slow but relentless attempt to encircle and destroy

thousands of ukrainian fighters. when he started this invasion, one of the main reasons given by president putin was to stop what he said was a genocide taking place in the donbas, carried out by ukraine. now, there never was any evidence of that. but now president zelensky says a genocide is taking place, but it�*s being carried out by russia. translation: the current offensive of the occupiers in donbas will make j the region uninhabited. they want to burn our towns and cities to ashes. all this, including the deportation of our people and the mass killings of civilians, is an obvious policy of genocide pursued by russia. this is lysychansk, one of two cities currently being encircled. before the invasion, many people here supported russia. people spoke russian, got their news from russian sources, but have now been driven from their homes by russian shelling. translation: what drove me out was the stress. _

shells kept falling every second. translation: i don't know what we'll do. i we can�*t go home and we can�*t live here either. with every russian military breakthrough, escape becomes harder. in the last few hours, russian—backed separatist forces claim to have captured the town of lyman, another step in their conquest of the donbas, which is looking more likely by the day. joe inwood, bbc news, kyiv. but it�*s not just but it�*s notjust in the donbas where they are acting. we have seen a missile strike in the last few hours that has killed ten soldiers and overnight, there was shelling in kharkiv that killed nine civilians including children. it does seem this war is slowly swinging in russia�*s direction, but it is worth pointing out that much of the promised military hardware the ukrainians are depending on hasn�*t yet got to the front line. they are hoping that when it does and if that is soon, it will make a difference. joe inwood in kyiv. it�*s emerged the gunman who carried out a mass shooting

at a school in uvalde, texas, entered the building unhindered through an unlocked door. 18—year—old salvador ramos barricaded himself inside a classroom where he killed 19 children and two teachers. the details come as tens of thousands of members of america�*s biggest gun lobby, the national rifle association, gather in texas for their annual convention, just a few hours away from where the shooting took place. 0ur correspondent barbara plett usher reports. this is what the centre of town looks like two days after a massacre. a marker for every one of the 19 children and two of their teachers. some came from outside uvalde to show solidarity. there was even a brief visit by the duchess of sussex, meghan markle — she laid flowers at the cross for an eight—year—old boy. jackie would have turned ten next month, but she�*d already found her own voice, her uncle said. jackie was the life of our family. she had just recently received her first communion. so she was on fire. she felt like a rock star.

he says his brother argued with police on that day, demanding that they move faster to storm the school and stop the gunman. he wanted to go in there and charge this guy, but they wouldn�*t let him. "you guys going to do yourjob? do something! you know, you got 20 guys over there, standing, doing nothing. just get in there!" he goes, "you need to go back, scoot back." "no, we�*re not going to scoot back. you want to arrest us, arrest us, but we�*re not... we�*re not... you know, we�*re here. i�*m not going to go anywhere until i see my baby!" the authorities defended their response to the shooting. they tried to provide answers, but many questions remain, a troubling undercurrent to a tragedy that is still unfolding. you got to understand, we're getting a lot of information we're trying to track down and see what is true — we want to vet it. with the latest news that the broken—hearted husband of a teacher who was killed had died of a heart attack. there are so many bouquets now — we�*ve seen those mounds of flowers

grow throughout the day — and quite a few children here as well. there is a memorial at the school, but this really feels like a safe space for the community to grieve and to remember. silva did not lose a loved one, but her world was shaken by those who did. we�*re part of the community and it�*s people that, one time or another, we have been together in a baseball game, and a football game, in a city event, and it�*sjust children from our community and... we�*re here and i have the blessing to have my children with me, and these families don�*t. it is the hardest of the hard realities that have changed this town forever. barbara plett usher, bbc news, uvalde, texas. 0ur correspondent will grant is in uvalde, texas. the mood there must still be sombre. it is, martin. this is a community

torn apart by its grief. i am at the memorial that barber described in her report —— martine. those 21 names are set around the fountain and president biden will be here on sunday to pay his respects. but underpinning that grief now is anger as well, questions being asked by the families and by the community here as to how this gunman could have spent 12 minutes outside the building firing on the public, how he spent an hour inside the school with armed policemen outside without being engaged, able to freely, seemingly freely carry out this massacre. and of course there will be anger to come as well as the nra, the national rifle association, the biggest and most powerful gun lobby in the united states, gathers for their annual convention in houston. i think when president trump takes to the stage, when senator ted cruz

also addresses the convention, it will compound the grief of these people here and they will be asking the question, why was it not cancelled altogether, or at the very least, held elsewhere?— cancelled altogether, or at the very least, held elsewhere? well, thank ou ve least, held elsewhere? well, thank you very much- _ least, held elsewhere? well, thank you very much. will— least, held elsewhere? well, thank you very much. will grant _ least, held elsewhere? well, thank you very much. will grant in - least, held elsewhere? well, thank you very much. will grant in texas. j the time is 18 minutes past one. our top story this lunchtime... an nhs trust at the centre of concerns about avoidable deaths and injuries to babies has been told to make immediate improvements to its maternity services. excuse me, sir. you can leave the cat outside. how one man is taking a supermarket to court for refusing entry to his assistance cat. coming up on the bbc news channel... the only remaining brit in this year�*s french open prepares for his third round match as cam norrie goes head to head with karen khachanov for a place in the last 16. from fridge magnets to fine china, shop windows are filled with merchandise to mark

the queen�*s platinum jubilee. it�*s estimated that we�*ll spend around £280 million on souvenirs as part of the royal celebrations this year. sarah rogers has been to a factory in stoke—on—trent, where staff are trying to keep up with demand. this is china you definitely wouldn�*t eat your dinner off. these posh plates will set you back £150 each. but top—end merchandise is in high demand ahead of the queen�*s platinum jubilee, with the nation set to spend millions on royal regalia. at this factory in stoke, clay is crafted into collectors�* items. you make this look really easy. it does make it look easy. yeah, it does look easy when somebody watches it. how difficult is it? it takes a while because you�*ve got to learn how to turn your wheel, keep that going at the same time and you�*ve got to get your gun, you�*ve got to get it to the right position. then you�*ve got to pull out. it does take a bit of time.

extra staff have been brought in to fulfil all thejubilee orders and once an item�*s been pulled and pressed, it�*s time to paint, and the final touch of gilding. demand has been incredible, actually, to the extent that we launched two collections, which sold out almost immediately. and then we had our design team working very hard to add some products to our assortment. and you recently went and showed her this collection. were you nervous? i don�*t think i�*ve ever been more nervous in my life, actually. so do you imagine that the queen, when she has her cup of tea, might be sipping that from something made from here in stoke? i would very much hope that on occasion, she would be using something made in england from stoke—on—trent. hip, hip, hooray! this footage is from jubilees gone by, but you�*ll find one common thread — the flapping of flags. this company near harrogate provides flags for the royal households

as well as members of the public. right, so in here, unionjack, sewing unionjacks, we�*ve got bunting, red, white and blue street bunting. how much bunting have you made? so far, i reckon about 85,000 metres. that�*s how much tape we�*ve ordered and we�*ve probably got another 20,000 to get through, which we certainly will do. thejubilee is currently making up 40% of this business with staff working round the clock, but they�*re also flying the flag for disappearing arts. we live in such a world of immediate products, and people don't think where they come from. actually, our stuff is handmade and it takes a long time. but once the party is over, is it a case of red, white and binned? look at this, amazing stuff. social historian robert 0pie is showcasing 200 years of royal memorabilia at the museum of brands in london. and this year, he�*ll be squeezing in a few more.

i love these coronation commemorative paper bags from 1953. and that�*s what this museum�*s allabout, memories, nostalgia and seeing the moment, because the story is here. it�*s a consumer world we live in, a throwaway history that we seem to chuck out of our bins every week, but the history is actually amongst those very items. and for the companies making those items, it�*s a much—needed boost as britannia is set to rule the retail sales. sarah rogers, bbc news. 20 more cases of hepatitis have been confirmed in children aged 10 and under in the uk. it brings the total number of cases to 222, mainly in children under the age of five. the uk�*s health security agency said the risk remains low. they are continuing to investigate the rise in cases. airports are gearing up for their busiest day since the start of the pandemic, with nearly 8000 flights scheduled

..doing the weekly shop... what would you like, chloe? you want to have a look? ..or relaxing in the pub, chloe is always supporting ian through daily life�*s ups and downs. ian fenn has autism. busy and noisy environments trigger anxiety. he says he has trained chloe to help him cope. she is my companion. my life is so much better with her at my side. i am not alone any more. she brings structure to my life, she wakes me up in the morning, she tells me when to go to bed. you know, it�*s difficult to know how she feels about the relationship but i feel that we are almost a team now. ian defines chloe as an assistance or service animal, a bit like a guide dog for the blind, fulfilling an essential purpose. but she is not universally accepted, as he found in a local sainsbury�*s. excuse me, sir. you can leave the cat outside and come and shop. no. that's all right. no. ian thought he had secured

the supermarket�*s agreement to take chloe into the store. i ended up becoming quite upset. i stayed in the house for two weeks... two weeks? two weeks, until i got the confidence back to go out. he is now taking sainsbury�*s to court, claiming the supermarket has breached equality laws. in what could become a national test case, his lawyers will argue that chloe, like a guide dog, is an auxiliary aid essential for daily life. the key and fundamental principles are that service providers have a legal obligation to provide reasonable adjustments to accommodate disabled customers. there has never been anything specific in relation to anything other than a support dog, in this country at least. if the law really is as grey and fuzzy as a tabby kitten, then judges will have to consider what makes an assistance animal. sainsbury�*s says it is in the right. it has concerns about food hygiene and safety, but is now asking

environmental health officials for their opinion on chloe visiting. what would you say to people who say, i understand the animal is desirable but it�*s not really necessary for daily life? shouldn�*t you just leave chloe at home? i appreciate i�*m a bloke wandering around with a cat, which is a bit unusual. what i want to be able to do is just run my life normally. when somebody says, no, you can�*t, because you have this auxiliary aid, this creature that is helping you, it�*s really upsetting. dominic casciani, bbc news. now, they�*ve already won the league cup and the fa cup this season, but missed out on the premier league title last week to man city. liverpool are now setting their sights on winning the champions league against real madrid to make it a treble. andy swiss is in paris ahead of the final tomorrow. yes, welcome to paris and the start

of what could be a very special weekend for liverpool fans. 0fficially, their ticket allocation for this final was only about 20,000 but i can tell you that thousands more fans are heading out here to sample the atmosphere. as you said, they have already won two trophies this season but can they now win the biggest trophy of all? chanting. ready for a parisian party, liverpool�*s fans already in fine voice, hoping for triumph by the arc de triomphe. they are flocking here from all round the world, even australia in chris�*s case, after a 28—hourjourney. 0riginally i am from liverpool but i have lived in australia for 20 years but can�*t miss an opportunity to come and see the reds. tickets, i know, are like gold dust. have you got a ticket? no. we spoke to somebody who spent £7,000 on a ticket. i know! it wasjaw—dropping! £7,000.

daft question, but how confident are you? i would say pretty confident! i�*m not sure. we are favourites, aren�*t we, i think? but not too confident, i don�*t think. i am going for a 3—0 win. i know more and more fans are coming in. i today, tomorrow, paris is going to be red. i commentator: here is tsimikas. liverpool�*s hero! for liverpool, it has already been some season, winning the league cup and the fa cup, thanks to a manager who, it seems, enjoys a few mind games. jurgen klopp told the bbc that playing wordle has kept him going. the older you get, the happier you are that you can remember words! it's so true! if you tell it to a 20—year—old that we play wordle. .. why would you do that? when you play it with 55, you think... it's quite good! there is happiness that it still works. still words in the brain? yeah, exactly! so, could tomorrow�*s five—letter word be glory? well, history suggests it might. back in 1981, liverpool met real madrid in the final here in paris, and beat them. alan kennedy...

and he goes on, and he scores! left—back alan kennedy was their unlikely matchwinner and 41 years on, he told me he expects a repeat. i think that they can go all the way. i think this team could be classed as one of the greatest ever liverpool teams. and i will be shouting for them, and i will be willing anybody, and i hope it is the left back, to score a goal! and if they do, expect more scenes like this. after their last triumph three years ago, they paraded the trophy through liverpool. now one of the biggest prizes in football is once again within their sights. andy swiss, bbc news, paris. time for a look at the weather. here�*s darren betts. we know who you are supporting your tie is giving anything away? i couldn't possibly comment! all i couldn�*t possibly comment! all i will say is that the weather in paris will be similar to the weather

we are seeing across the south of the uk. here
