a bbc news investigation has learned that police forces are taking longer to respond to serious incidents in england and wales. information requests indicate that officers are more than three minutes slower to attend the most urgent emergencies compared to six years ago. research also shows that the number of recorded crimes being solved has fallen for the last seven consecutive years. the policing minister kit malthouse says the government is committed to improving the responsiveness of local police. our special correspondent ed thomas reports... three, four, five, six, seven.

it's the perfect storm. i don't think there's a point in ringing the police any more, because there's nothing being done. the windows smashed, everything thrown all over my house. police are solving fewer recorded crimes. they are taking longer to respond. they got put through one morning. how many windows? all of them. and when did the police come? they didn't. leaving the public losing faith. do you have confidence in the police to come out? do i balls! why? waste of time. they come about six hours later when they've all gone. this is in kent. it was a ball bearing probably eight or ten millimetres. it was pretty much shot straight through. this is where it hit me on the leg. where were you? sitting in the garden. we spoke to half a dozen neighbours who all said the street is being tormented by teenagers. going through double glazed glass, you can really do some injury to someone�*s skull. after repeated calls to the police, many here said officers don't turn up at all.

i reported it, nothing came of it, that was it. this, i've just kept it since. at what point do you then go and say, enough is enough? is it when a child dies? levels of crime have been going down over the past decade but our research shows that the proportion of recorded crimes being solved has fallen by a0%. we have also learned that police are taking longer to arrive at emergency call—outs. forces are now 25% slower to arrive at urgent incidents than six years ago. one, two, three, four. we move north to leigh. this is robert's teenage grandson being attacked on a bus in february. he says months after the attack, the police have failed to visit the family. what is your reaction to that? considering i pay their wages, really annoyed. and at the end of the day, that is what the country sees, it is getting worse, and worse, and worse. this is the actual footage of them attacking me. we then met stephen.

being kicked all over the floor, and hit with bars, knuckle dusters. he says it took police three days to respond this beating. and then it got worse. this is the state they've left my house, the windows smashed. if the police would have done it from the start, none of this would have happened. he has been repeatedly burgled. that is my son's bedroom, that. this is actually my son's bedroom. he says the police and forensic teams have not been out to visit for two of the burglaries. how would you describe the police response to the burglaries? atrocious, atrocious. absolutely atrocious. i'm at breaking point. there's nothing. it's my kids, my home, my car, everything. it's gone. i've got nothing at all. ijust need the police to help me and they won't. theyjust won't help me. what would you say to the police? please, get off your ours and help people in need. i'm in need of help. i need some help. we have also learned of police not turning up for sexual assaults and domestic violence incidents. one woman, who says she was assaulted by an ex—partner

in front of her two and four—year—old children, was told no one could visit her until the following morning. if officers had attended, they may have seen the man return again later that evening. i could actually see my car, my stolen car. when michelle's car was stolen, desperate, she turned detective. they took me to the station to take a statement. what they did actually say was to actually go on to facebook because that's the best chance of you finding it. eventually, she was sent this cctv that located her car. but still, officers wouldn't help. done all thejob for you, got the address of where that car is and you're still not doing anything. and we would be on the phone to the police at least three or four times every night saying, this is where my car is. one night, she followed her stolen car. she was confronted by a man with a crowbar before escaping. the next day, it was found abandoned. you just think, who do you go to if you are in trouble?

the home office says it's committed to improving the responsiveness of local police, and the public should have confidence that forces will do everything in their power to solve and prevent crime. ed thomas, bbc news. we will be talking about that story at 930. if you have been affected by crime, we want to hear from you and we want to know what the police response was to your case, you can contact me on twitter, we will try to read out some of those comments from you. the french government will hold an emergency meeting today with uefa and other officials, to examine what went wrong at the champions league final on saturday. there were chaotic scenes before and after the match after french police repeatedly fired tear gas and pepper spray at liverpool fans waiting to get into the stadium. the uk's culture secretary nadine dorries has called

for an investigation into what happened as tim muffett reports. fall back! fall back! in the countdown to kick—off, this was the situation facing many fans on saturday night. real madrid's 1—0 victory over liverpool at the stade de france has been largely overshadowed by what went on outside the ground. there was just... the only word i can think of is chaos. we were patiently trying to queue and then we'd be pushed by the police and kettled against railings and against the wall. and then pepper spray had come out and i was completely disorientated, didn't know what was happening with all the crowds that were there as well. there were children crying. there were grown men who were kind of shouting out that they needed help. this nine—year—old boy was one of those who suffered the after—effects of tear gas.

many liverpool fans say the policing was shambolic and heavy—handed. there was no communication. we weren't told if the gate was going to open, when it was going to open. it wasjust chaotic and actually it was a disgrace and it was very, very dangerous. it was shambolic. it was dangerous and hostile - and one of the worst atmospheres i've ever experienced, and | no football fan should ever experience that - at a blue ribbon event. uefa said that turnstiles became blocked because thousands of liverpool fans arrived with fake tickets. footage also show some people climbing overfences, but it's not clear whether they're liverpool fans or not. today, the french sports ministry will host a meeting with uefa, the french football association, stadium officials and police. it says it wants to draw lessons from the event. the culture secretary, nadine dorries, has called for a formal investigation. she described the footage

and descriptions from fans as deeply concerning. "i urge uefa to launch a formal investigation into what went wrong and why", she said in a statement. following their defeat in paris there was still a victory parade in liverpool yesterday, the club having won both the fa cup and league cup this season, a positive end to what had been a dispiriting weekend for the team and its fans. tim muffett, bbc news. let's speak now to neil atkinson from the anfield wrap which is a podcast and website dedicated to liverpool football club. thank you forjoining us this morning on bbc news. begin by telling us about your experience on saturday. i telling us about your experience on saturda . . , telling us about your experience on saturda . ., , ., ., telling us about your experience on saturda . ., ., , ., ., saturday. i was of the train station at 615, the — saturday. i was of the train station at 615, the nearest _ saturday. i was of the train station at 615, the nearest to _ saturday. i was of the train station at 615, the nearest to the - saturday. i was of the train station at 615, the nearest to the ground. | at 615, the nearest to the ground. it is a 15 minute walk, and we were

held twice on the way, no clear reason why. and the hole that was for ticket checks, it was a bottleneck situation that people were kettle and forced into a small space. when we got to where the ticket checks were meant to be, there were four people doing the ticket checks, and they had given up. we walked around the ground, met some friends, and we saw unbelievable numbers of queues in front of gates that were close, gates x, y and z. as i got round to my gate, they opened it for a second but closed it again because i had other friends who are coming. i managed to get into the ground, but the period of time, i got of the train station at 615 and i was there at 20 past eight, that is how long it took for me and i was lucky in order to do this. at first uefa said the fans were late which was false.

in amongst all this, i do not want uefa to run an investigation because i do not trust them. this uefa to run an investigation because i do not trust them.— i do not trust them. this morning the french _ i do not trust them. this morning the french sports _ i do not trust them. this morning the french sports minister - i do not trust them. this morning the french sports minister said i the french sports minister said there were fake tickets and local youths causing problems. from what youths causing problems. from what you are saying, it sounds like a big part of the problem was the logistics, they were not fit for purpose, for it to manage the sheer numbers of people, fans trying to get into the stadium. the logistics were not fit _ get into the stadium. the logistics were not fit for _ get into the stadium. the logistics were not fit for purpose. - get into the stadium. the logistics were not fit for purpose. everyone j were not fit for purpose. everyone who was there as far as i'm concerned, it was a perfectly reasonable number of people for an 80,000 seater stadium. there were only two ways in and i weigh in was more congested. some real madrid tried to get in through a route as well. this is the uefa problem here. you can talk about the police, they were unbelievably heavy—handed, and after the match. the french

authorities are trying to talk about the proms before the match but it was really bad coming out of the ground. there was a bottleneck at certain exits, and people being attacked by the police with pepper spray and tear gas after the match. that is not about tickets. that is a police issue. it comes back to uefa organisation first and foremost which was clearly not fit for purpose. the idea that the primary factor in this is uefa and uefa investigate uefa, it makes no sense. any investigation has to be independent and completely transparent.— independent and completely transparent. independent and completely transarent. ., , transparent. uefa is meeting with the french people _ transparent. uefa is meeting with the french people as _ transparent. uefa is meeting with the french people as officials - transparent. uefa is meeting with | the french people as officials from the french people as officials from the stadium and police, it does not sound like you have great expectations from that meeting of getting answers as to what happened and why it happened. the getting answers as to what happened and why it happened.— and why it happened. the first thing the did and why it happened. the first thing they did was — and why it happened. the first thing they did was lie. _ and why it happened. the first thing they did was lie. they _ and why it happened. the first thing they did was lie. they said - they did was lie. they said the issues were because fans were late and they put it on the big screen on the ground, they gave that

body involved and this is uefa and as we have demonstrated, with they cannot be trusted to get a grasp of these issues. i want to see liverpool football club do what they've done which is represent the interests of their supporters to the best of their ability, local mps do the same thing, the mayor of liverpool yesterday called for there to be a properfull inquiry, that is good to see. that is all we can as for at this stage. these issues go deeper thanjust for at this stage. these issues go deeper than just football, to for at this stage. these issues go deeper thanjust football, to be honest. we are talking about the way in certain strata of society is policed and how police operate in so many western democracies which is not to act in the interests of the people which is where they are drawn from but to start as their own mini militia. it has happened before and it will happen again. am i optimistic for a change? no, it will happen again. am i optimistic fora change? no, i'm not, we have been here so many times before, we will be here again, i am expecting lip service, the french will try to hold their ground because they get very parochial,

there no need, we need to say that we are customers and those tickets are expensive, they cost a lot of money, and in no sector of the entertainment industry are people treated like this. we need changes, not in one country, but in many countries, are we will be back in this position time again. it is not safe for a lot of people in a very vulnerable situation. at, safe for a lot of people in a very vulnerable situation.— vulnerable situation. a lot of eo - le vulnerable situation. a lot of people will _ vulnerable situation. a lot of people will consider - vulnerable situation. a lot of people will consider whether vulnerable situation. a lot of- people will consider whether they will travel to big games again. thank you very much for your time. graduates from the world's top universities will be able to apply to come to the uk under a new visa scheme. successful applicants will be given a work visa lasting two or three years, depending on their degree. the government said the scheme would attract the "brightest and best". our political correspondent, jonathan blake good morning. are these graduates already able to come to the uk and

will this do anything to address the skills shortages that bourses in a number of sectors have talked about? they can only come if they have a job offer or are sponsored by specific employer, and this new scheme first announced back in march comes into force today designed to plug a gap in the current visa roots under which people can come to the uk post—brexit. as you say, students, graduates of one of the top 50 universities around the world, according to various rankings, will be able to apply for a visa under the specific route for high potential individuals. they will get a two year visa if the bachelor or masters degree and three years if they have a phd. there is a fee, they need to be able to speak fluent english and past security checks. they well on being granted a visa of this kind be able to bring

dependence with them. their family can come, in other words. if you look at this, it is aimed at boosting as you suggest some of the skill shortages which exist in certain sectors of the uk economy and allowing companies and organisations which want to recruit graduates from top universities around the world to be able to do that here in the uk rather than having to go abroad and do it that way. if you like. and there is a significant shortage in certain areas of the economy, universities uk recently pointed out were 1 million morejobs in certain high school sectors than there were people eligible to fill those roles. so the government acting here as it has said in announcing the expansion or the uptake of the scheme today, attempting to mean that the uk can attract the best and brightest from

front line in eastern ukraine. he went to the kharkiv region — close to the russian border — an area once again under attack. the president described the situation in some parts — particularly serevodonyetsk — as �*indescribably difficult' for the ukrainian army. european union leaders are gathering in brussels today for a summit that is expected to be dominated by the failure to agree a ban on russian oil and gas imports as a response to russia's invasion of ukraine. negotiations on the issue have been underway for weeks, but hungary — which is heavily dependent on russian supplies — is holding out against a ban. a meeting of eu ambassadors yesterday failed to agree a plan. with me is our ukraine correspondentjoe inwood — who's in kyiv and also our europe correspondent bethany bell in brussels — first to joe.

symbolic that president zelensky travelled beyond the capital to visit troops on the front line in the east. what has he been saying? tell us more about what he has been saying about the situation and the severity of the situation. absolutely. we should say he was then kharkiv which was front line, under serious bombardment for most of the duration of the war. in recent weeks, the ukrainians have pushed the russians back. it was considered safe for him to visit. remember, this is a man whose personal security is crucial to the ukrainians. some of the russians have tried to kill him, sending hit squads to the capital. the fact they were happy to send him there means that part of the country is safe, is backin that part of the country is safe, is back in their hands. it is not the same picture in the east. as you say, the situation is unbearably difficult in the town of severodonetsk. this is the far lands which the ukrainians still control,

in the luhansk region which is under their control. the russians are pushing huge military barrage is, men and armour coming in, pushing towards the centre of that city. what is next in terms of getting supplies to that region? we have seen a change — supplies to that region? we have seen a change in _ supplies to that region? we have seen a change in rhetoric, - supplies to that region? we have seen a change in rhetoric, at - supplies to that region? we have seen a change in rhetoric, at the | seen a change in rhetoric, at the start of the conflict, the ukrainians were desperate for help, as time has gone on, they are more confident that they are getting the amount of material they need, weapons, heavy armour, and getting it as fast as they need it. now that has changed, they are starting to sound desperate again. they are not getting the stuff as fast as they would like and to date there has been suggestions the germans and hungarians are holding it up. it is important we do not underestimate how bad things are in the donbas and the lack of heavy weaponry as a part of that. �* ~ i.

hand, countries like hungary which see the effect of an oil embargo would be in words of the prime minister, like a nuclear bomb on the hungarian economy and you have other countries like poland which see every day the eu is paying huge sums of money to russia for fuel which then goes to fund the war in ukraine. hard fronts here. people are continuing to negotiate to see if they can get some sort of compromise solution that might be given the green light today, any solution is going to take a lot of complicated details to work through. i know you will keep a close eye on developments in brussels. thank you both very much. let's talk about ukraine. justin let's talk about ukraine. crump is a military analyst and chief executive of sibylline,

the intelligence consultancy. he's also a british army veteran. they were saying a greater sense of urgency from the ukrainians in terms of their request for equipment, resources, supplies, tell us from your analysis of the situation in the east of ukraine about what is going on. the east of ukraine about what is auoin on. , , the east of ukraine about what is ttoin on. , ,., the east of ukraine about what is otitn on. , , ., ., ., ., going on. this is a traditional warfare where _ going on. this is a traditional warfare where you _ going on. this is a traditional warfare where you grind - going on. this is a traditional| warfare where you grind down going on. this is a traditional - warfare where you grind down your opponent. it is very different to the recent western warfare which is manoeuvre warfare where you try and isolate the enemy and overwhelm them separately to minimise your own losses. it is very much russia, putting forward artillery, they do not succeed in their attacks, the use artillery, they push people forward from the loose equipment, but the one to grind down ukrainian supplies. that has been reflected in a change in tone of ukraine from not

enough, thank you, enough, back to we need more and it is getting increasingly desperate. it reflects the fighting on the ground. russia under a degree of urgency, they try to break out, to isolate ukrainian forces and they have not managed to do that, they have made advances but they have not crossed the river to they have not crossed the river to the north to cut of the forces and they are attacking severity on and it has made it harder than they have succeeded in manoeuvring. that is one of the key things about the battle for the city. ukraine has the ability to fall back on the other bank of the river, it is on higher ground but it will be easier to defend. this is the first part of a two—part act around the city in particular. two-part act around the city in particular-— particular. talk us through the strate t ic particular. talk us through the strategic objectives _ particular. talk us through the strategic objectives for - particular. talk us through the strategic objectives for russia | particular. talk us through the l strategic objectives for russia in terms of its plan to capture luhansk and the whole of the donbas region. represents the way russia has gone

from cutting off huge swathes of territory which was the ambition at the start, it has scaled back ambition and now the ambition is at the far end of the donbas. up to luhansk. sverige unxxx is the main objective and the city on the other side of the river which would be more difficult. they have got half of donates to take. we are seeing that ukraine is putting up a steady defence. they are holding onto every bit of ground even when it is the wrong side of the river, severodonetsk makes it hard to defend. ukraine is trying to hold as much as it can, to make russia pay for every metre, a price in blood, in supplies, russia are bringing forward all their equipment as a result of that iteration, russia has calculated they can keep pushing, the west will get bored, we have inflation, is by enrolling oil

prices, politics to worry about, they are calculating that means over time ukrainian support will wane and they will grind their way forward to victory. ukraine as you saw, president zelensky visited kharkiv, thatis president zelensky visited kharkiv, that is one of the areas they are trying to push back to take attention away from the donbas. i think ukraine are trying to push back at kherson. they are trying to find ways to push back on the whole having to hold out, hold out every day and make the russians pay and slow everything down. we day and make the russians pay and slow everything down.— day and make the russians pay and slow everything down. we have seen how fiercely — slow everything down. we have seen how fiercely and _ slow everything down. we have seen how fiercely and cleverly _ slow everything down. we have seen how fiercely and cleverly the - how fiercely and cleverly the ukrainians have fought but in terms of their assets, anti—tank missiles, tanks themselves, can you give us a sense of the ratio of war the ukrainians have compared to russia? it is very hard to ascertain numbers, it has been deliberately repressed by the ukrainian

government, they have been careful given they had setbacks when information was given away on social media and was given to the russians. we have a better picture of the russians although they are both uncertain. their traditional attack defender ratio is 321, it is definitely harder to attack and less war than we have seen and most others because of the terrain, the weaponry now being used. russia want a three to one ratio and that is why we are seeing this equipment being brought forward. losses at the moment suggest in many places the ratio is only two to one. it is the option for russia to attack in one place, concentrate force, ukraine has to defend the whole country. they cannot leave kharkiv alone because russia could come back, even kyiv, they could be a threat against kyiv, they could be a threat against kyiv in the future, and they share a land border, russia can come back at any point it wants to and that gives

ukraine problems and bouncing the ratio. it is not about what you have on paper, it is where you can concentrate it, russia are concentrating very hard on the donbas but they are pulling them away in kharkiv, to spread the russian forces as much as they can. it is an uphill struggle for ukraine right now, they are holding up well but are losing ground steadily and suffering attrition at a similar rate to the russians. it will not be sustainable forever without additional help.— sustainable forever without additional help. thank you very much. now it's time for a look at the weather. matt taylor joins us. matt taylorjoins us. are we looking ahead towards the end of the week, people might be on holiday, they might be working, they might want to know what's happening? thank you. it is a big week for some, drier and warmer towards the end of the week but for the next couple of days, you might need the waterproofs at some

point. after a dry start across the south we will see some showers pop up south we will see some showers pop up and they could be heavy and thundery. often cloudy, cooler in places, nice when the sun comes out, the best of which is across the channel islands and kent. this evening and overnight showers continue across england and wales, dry conditions for scotland and northern ireland, chilly night and they could see frost in one or two sheltered valleys but for most of us it's a cool start on tuesday. the cloud in place across much of england and wales, here showers are likely, we see showers in the far north—western fringes of scotland pushing into northern ireland later but some parts of western scotland, drier and brighter, warmer in the sunshine, cool in the east but turning warmer and drier later this week. hello. this is bbc news. i'm annita mcveigh and these are the headlines...

a bbc news investigation learns that police officers are slower to attend the most urgent emergencies compared to six years ago and the number of crimes being solved has fallen too. an emergency meeting in paris as the uk calls for an investigation into the treatment of liverpool fans at saturday's champions league final. as the cost of living crisis causes real hardship for many we wait for new data which could showjust how much more expensive every day essentials are getting. the usjustice department launches an investigation into the police response to the texas school shooting, after it was revealed that officers took more than an hour to confront the gunman. russia insists — what it calls — the "liberation" of eastern ukraine's donbas region is its "unconditional priority" as it continues its invasion of the country. that, as eu leaders gather to try to agree a ban on russian oil imports. and we get a tour of the queen's floating palace —

the royal yacht britannia — ahead of platinum jubilee celebrations this weekend. sport and time for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. good morning. let's start with the news that the french sports minister has reaffirmed their government view that liverpool fans without valid tickets were responsible for the initial crowd control problems at the champions league final, and added that the problems were exacerbated later by local youths trying to force their way in to the game. an emergency meeting will be held today between the french government, uefa and other officials to examine what went wrong at the champions league final on saturday. there were chaotic scenes before and after the match after french police repeatedly fired tear gas and pepper spray at liverpool fans waiting to get into the stadium. the uk's culture secretary nadine dorries called the scenes �*deeply concerning' and has called for an investigation. labour mp for liverpool ian byrne who was at the game insists liverpool fans were not to blame.

this was the premium game in european football, this should have been an absolute joy to go to and instead, witnessed kids in extreme distress, adults, women, it wasjust awful, absolutely awful. you know, we get now the blame game and the smears and that narrative coming from the french authorities that completely failed on saturday and uefa,. nottingham forest are back in the premier league. twice european champions, they have spent 23 years in the championship and league one, but yesterday they finally won promotion back to the top division of english football. adam wild reports from wembley. after almost a quarter of a century at nottingham forest are finally back amongst english footballing

elite. the prize, the prestige of the premier league awaits but for now it is the promotion party that can begin. now it is the promotion party that can betin. , , , ., can begin. they put us through the mill, nottingham _ can begin. they put us through the mill, nottingham forest, - can begin. they put us through the mill, nottingham forest, my- mill, nottingham forest, my nerves are shredded, absolutely shredded. premier league next season, looking forward to it. it premier league next season, looking forward to it— forward to it. it isn't the easiest wa to forward to it. it isn't the easiest way to get _ forward to it. it isn't the easiest way to get promoted, _ forward to it. it isn't the easiest way to get promoted, it - forward to it. it isn't the easiest way to get promoted, it is - forward to it. it isn't the easiest way to get promoted, it is often forward to it. it isn't the easiest. way to get promoted, it is often all at once the most agonising, the most exciting. in the end they needed a goal to beat huddersfield town and it came before half—time. the unfortunate levi cole deflecting into his own net. it was not pretty, didn't have to be the fans will remember the goal forever, didn't have to be the fans will remember the goalforever, the didn't have to be the fans will remember the goal forever, the one that ended the exile, the final whistle confirming it. i that ended the exile, the final whistle confirming it.- that ended the exile, the final whistle confirming it. i am 'ust . leased whistle confirming it. i am 'ust pleased for �* whistle confirming it. i am 'ust pleased for everybody �* whistle confirming it. i am just l pleased for everybody connected whistle confirming it. i am just - pleased for everybody connected with the club. we are a big club, i know that, full of history and tradition, we stand on that, proud, but i've always said, let's try and create a next positive chapter and we have managed to do that. thea;r next positive chapter and we have managed to do that.— next positive chapter and we have managed to do that. they call this the richest game _

"too many mistakes" — according to ferrari's charles leclerc, after a series of errors from his team led to red bull's sergio perez winning the monaco grand prix. leclerc started from pole, but dropped from first to fourth over four laps in a rain affected grand prix. red bull capitilised on ferrari's poor strategy, with perez, moving into the lead. crucially, championship leader max verstappen finished third, ahead of leclerc, which means the red bull driver extends his lead to nine points. lewis hamilton started

and finished eighth. rafa nadal took five sets to get past felix auger aliassime at the french open. nadal lost the opening set but roared back to win the next two. the canadian who is coached by nadal�*s uncle toni made sure the match went to five sets with nadal winning the final set 6—3. it sets up a mouthwatering quarter final against novak djokovic who swept aside argentina's diego schwartzmann in straight sets. that's all the sport for now. the action continuing at roland garros, you can catch up with all of that with us this afternoon. let's return now to our top story this hour, and the rise in delays to police reponse times. our special correspondent, ed thomas can tell us more. good to see you. when you talked to

people for your report, you saw a pretty interesting pattern emerging? there was a pattern emerging right across the country. it was like people were becoming diy detectives, they felt compelled to put their own lives at risk to investigate their own crimes against them, take the story of michelle, a community care assistant, on her way to work. she was near bolton, she was carjacked walking back to her car. she rang the police, did everything correctly, went in, gave a statement but she says there was no investigation and the police officer at the station actually said to her, you might as well go on facebook, you'd have a better chance of finding your car and if you go on facebook. so that's what she did. night after night she was getting messages, we have seen your car, outside this house, we have seen your car driving past, she was even sent cctv of her car with people inside parked outside someone �*s

house. in the end she got so frustrated she started to follow her car, her daughterwas frustrated she started to follow her car, her daughter was driving but they let her down a dead end and she was spotted, the man got out of michelle �*s car and threatened her with a crowbar, she panicked and rang 999 and she says she was told ljy rang 999 and she says she was told by the police you shouldn't have done that, you must get away and she was so frustrated she eventually found her car the following day, it had been abandoned, the windows smashed and she was left completely frustrated by what she calls an action by police. that's one story but we heard it repeatedly up and down the country.— but we heard it repeatedly up and down the country. we've been asking our viewers — down the country. we've been asking our viewers today _ down the country. we've been asking our viewers today to _ down the country. we've been asking our viewers today to share _ down the country. we've been asking our viewers today to share their - our viewers today to share their experiences of crime and what the response was. this is from jack and carla. let's show you the tweet. he says...

and a couple more tweets from you. this is for merkel who says she had her allotment shed burnt out a few weeks ago, the fire brigade attended, given an incident number, the police never got in touch, we could never get through to them, thousands of pounds worth of damage and no help whatsoever so we gave up. and alan sent me a picture of his little dog who has a nasty puncture wound, he says his dog got attacked at the weekend by a big dog that was off its lead in the local park, he cold the police straightaway as the owner didn't care but the police told me they don't get involved in dog attacks which i find disgusting and i wanted to say it could be a child next that the dog attacks. and one more from steven who says criminal gangs are operating freely, the rare metal theft gangs can steal your catalytic converter exhaust in seconds, brash and in full view of cctv hotel

entrance, police would not view the cctv and i am still waiting for a case number. some interesting and varied examples stop tell us about the responses you have had to your investigation?— investigation? those sorts of responses — investigation? those sorts of responses are _ investigation? those sorts of responses are of— investigation? those sorts of responses are of no - investigation? those sorts of responses are of no surprise| investigation? those sorts of. responses are of no surprise to investigation? those sorts of- responses are of no surprise to us, we were hearing that again and again. take the story of stephen, and that shows how things can escalate quickly. he moved to a new house. within six weeks is disability car on his driveway was on fire, he had been firebombed. he says the police came out but did not investigate. months later his replacement car gets stolen, he says he was dissatisfied with the police investigation and then he was assaulted outside his home and it takes the police three days to turn up, what happens next was horrific? a series of burglaries at his house, he's now had to move out for his own safety and he says he feels absolutely broken and that all

starts with something which some people might deem as being low level crime but it had a big impact. charity victim support responded to us, they say the delays and police response times which are freedom of information request uncovered are seriously alarming. they say the slower response times matter because if it takes police longer to get to the crime then it's more difficult to secure evidence and they cannot get a good result on the investigation. we've also had a statement from the policing minister kit malthouse who says he is committed to improving police response times and will be publishing league tables to hold police forces to account. he also said the public should have confidence in the police and that forces will do everything they can to solve and prevent crime. ed thomas. _ to solve and prevent crime. ed thomas, thank you. just a reminder if you want to send in your stories

and your experience of crime, what the response was or the lack thereof, please do that on twitter. a hospital in london has begun an investigation after a woman who had a miscarriage was told to keep the remains of her baby in herfridge at home, because a&e staff said they weren't able to store them safely. just a warning that some viewers may find some details distressing in this report from the bbc�*s global health correspondent, tulip mazumdar. there is a sprig of leaves that we took from our garden. and then the only other thing in here, we've got the baby's ashes. these precious items, a memory box for laura and lawrence's baby. some comfort in a time of utter despair. it's been just two months since the couple suffered a late miscarriage 15 weeks into their pregnancy. it happened after they were sent home from hospital, having been

told their baby no longer had a heartbeat. there were no beds available, the hospital said, for laura to give birth there. i woke up in really quite bad pain. i felt a lot of pressure. and so i ran upstairs to the bathroom and that's where i delivered the baby. and so i scooped it out, still assuming that it was going to be something else. and at that point, i realised that it was a baby boy. the couple called 999 but were advised that this wasn't an emergency. and so they placed their baby's remains in a box and went into a&e, which they say was chaos. there's no—one at this hospital who's willing to take charge of our baby. it's been in a hot room for nearly five hours now. so we decided together that i would go home.

so i took the box to the entrance of the hospital and got a taxi and took him home, cleared out some space in our fridge and put him there. as harrowing as it is to talk about what happened, the couple say they're speaking out to try and ensure this doesn't happen to anyone else. a statement from lewisham and greenwich nhs trust, where laura was treated, says: "we are deeply sorry and offer our sincerest condolences to miss brody and her partner for the tragic loss of their baby in these traumatic experiences." it goes on to say a full investigation is under way to understand where failings in care may have occurred so that any necessary changes and improvements can be made. it's beyond sad, really. it's unbearable. there should be an available cold place. there simply should be, and it should be, and there ought to be something in the maternity department or in the gynae department, somewhere where pregnancy remains

or these tiny little babies can be safely and respectfully and carefully stored with clear labelling. the importance of pregnancy loss care is increasingly being recognised. here at birmingham women's hospital, there's a specialist suite in a side room on the maternity ward for women who are having a late miscarriage or stillbirth. the hospital is also starting work on a first of its kind in the uk bereavement centre, specialising in care forfamilies, including those experiencing pregnancy loss. this site is going to - be our woodland house. they will be able to come back and see their baby there, - if they want to go home. we'll be able to hold follow—up appointments with doctors. - we'll be able to look after our families going through early. pregnancy loss who want to come back in and collect their pregnancy, - maybe for a little burial at home or a funeral. . amongst the smell of fresh roses and a feeling of being close to family, laura and lawrence can remember and grieve. this is the crematorium where my grandparents' ashes were scattered and their plaque's here. and we were thinking of putting the baby's ashes here as well. we just felt like the baby's already been so alone. and this way, at least it's near us. and it's near family. tulip mazumdar, bbc news.

if you've been affected by any of the issues raised in this report, you can find links to help and support at bbc.co.uk/actionline the time is 9:48am. some breaking news coming to us from the office for national statistics who have been carrying out some research. related to the cost of living crisis. looking at data from supermarkets at the prices for 30 everyday grocery items. let me try and bring out the headlines from that. the ons found there is quite a lot of variation across the 30 items with the prices for six items falling over a year but the prices of five items rising by 15% or more. the difference between the lowest cost version of an item and the next

lowest cost version of it is often large so for over two thirds of the everyday grocery items the ons looked at the next item was at least 20% more expensive. the items with the lowest prices rose at the fastest rate were pasta, crisps, bread, minced beef and rice. fastest rate were pasta, crisps, bread, minced beefand rice. some staples that will be in some combination in most people's grocery basket every week, pasta, bread, rice, minced beef, crisps. we are going to get one of our business correspondence along very soon to explain a little bit more about the latest data after 10am so please stay with us. the charity crisis is warning that homeless people who have asked for help from their local council are "trapped" on the streets, sofa surfing and in b&bs due

to what they describe as a "crippling" shortage of affordable homes. crisis want the government to do more, but the government say they are investing billions in affordable housing and tackling rough sleeping. let's get more now from matt downie who's the chief executive of the charity crisis. thank you forjoining us. the reason for this report, this research, is to look at the impact of the 2018 homelessness reduction act. has it hel-ed? homelessness reduction act. has it helped? yes. _ homelessness reduction act. has it helped? yes, four _ homelessness reduction act. has it helped? yes, four years _ homelessness reduction act. has it helped? yes, four years ago - homelessness reduction act. has it helped? yes, four years ago the - helped? yes, four years ago the homelessness reduction act came in and we were delighted because it placed an emphasis on preventing homelessness and council is doing what they can to stop homelessness before it occurs. actually, tens of thousands of people every year are helped by their councils in that way. but what we have seen really is we have reached the limit of what the system can cope with because nearly half of everyone that goes to their counsel for that help goes

away still homeless. and one in six people are turned away with no help at all. so this is a situation where the right change in legislation but without more housing, councils are hamstrung and people remain homeless. hamstrung and people remain homeless-— homeless. you talked as well obviously _ homeless. you talked as well obviously to _ homeless. you talked as well obviously to homeless - homeless. you talked as well. obviously to homeless people, homeless. you talked as well - obviously to homeless people, and people looking for secure and settled accommodation and you spoke to staff members in a number of local authority housing teams so what did they say to you about the situation they found themselves, dry to help people? the situation they found themselves, dry to help people?— to help people? the change in the law really did _ to help people? the change in the law really did change _ to help people? the change in the law really did change the - to help people? the change in the law really did change the way - to help people? the change in the i law really did change the way people were treated and we are delighted with that because there is much more dignity and respect in the system than before. front line staff and councils mostly do their best, they do their damnedest to try and help people. when people are in a desperate situation, imagine a situation you have nowhere else to 90. situation you have nowhere else to go, your suitcases with you and

whatever it might be and you desperately need that assistance. but in the councils themselves, they know quite often there is nowhere to be people so people are saying to desperate people, you may need to go back out and sleep rough... there desperate people, you may need to go back out and sleep rough. . ._ back out and sleep rough... there is virtually nothing _ back out and sleep rough... there is virtually nothing they _ back out and sleep rough... there is virtually nothing they can _ back out and sleep rough... there is virtually nothing they can do? - back out and sleep rough... there is virtually nothing they can do? in - virtually nothing they can do? in many cases and that is because over many cases and that is because over many decades, the stock of what is called social housing, that has gone away, it has been sold or it has not been replaced and that means for those people on the lowest incomes, there is simply no other choice. it is true that the government has a target and is putting money into more housing but what housing? that is the question. and unless it is social housing, 90,000 units a year is what we need to keep up with demand and this will continue to happen. demand and this will continue to ha- ten. �* , demand and this will continue to ha en, �*, demand and this will continue to ha- ten. �*, ., demand and this will continue to hat-en. �*, ., ., demand and this will continue to hat-en. fl ., ., demand and this will continue to ha en. �*, ., ., ., happen. let's look at what you are askint for happen. let's look at what you are asking for and _ happen. let's look at what you are asking for and what _ happen. let's look at what you are asking for and what the _ happen. let's look at what you are l asking for and what the government says it is doing so as you mentioned you are calling for an additional

90,000 social homes each year for the next 15 years, the government says it is investing £2 billion over the next three years to tackle homelessness and of sleeping and 11.5 billion on affordable housing so how does that sit against your target? so how does that sit against your tartet? ~ ., , so how does that sit against your tartet? . ., , .., so how does that sit against your tartet? ~ ., , , . target? words can be deceiving. the word affordable _ target? words can be deceiving. the word affordable can _ target? words can be deceiving. the word affordable can mean _ target? words can be deceiving. the word affordable can mean many - target? words can be deceiving. the l word affordable can mean many things to different people. the most important thing is that in terms of social housing, that is housing people can afford on benefits, effectively. there was only round about 6000 additional units in england last year and we need around 90,000 to keep up with demand in the system so we are absolutely near the levels required and whilst it's true the is putting more money into particularly emergency and temporary accommodation for people sleeping rough, what we are not doing is keeping up with the flow of people coming through so it's all very well and it's good to make sure people on the streets right now have some work tonight to go, some form of hostel

or emergency accommodation. the rest of the iceberg of homelessness is remaining untouched because the cause of it as people simply do not have places to live. in cause of it as people simply do not have places to live.— have places to live. in terms of movint have places to live. in terms of moving away — have places to live. in terms of moving away from _ have places to live. in terms of moving away from the - have places to live. in terms of - moving away from the government, there are a number of initiatives, private initiatives, looking to build social homes but clearly these will not be anywhere near the order of skill you're talking about? really the only way to make sure we have the scale of supply of housing thatis have the scale of supply of housing that is needed is for the government �*s own housing programme to prioritise social housing and michael gove is now making some good statements about this but needs to translate that into investment and every single council up and down the country, regardless of their political affiliation, knows this because they see it in their homelessness departments every day. we need a longer term cross party political settlement to say we will make sure we get the housing we need to house people on low incomes that

are out there, costing a fortune to the state because of the temporary accommodation that people are provided is actually costing more than mainstream housing so it's time to do the right thing and invest in social housing.— social housing. your report talks about in-built _ social housing. your report talks about in-built barriers _ social housing. your report talks about in-built barriers to - social housing. your report talks about in-built barriers to peoplej about in—built barriers to people getting a foot in a secure and stable place to live and clearly, the lack of housing is one of those barriers but what else do you mean by those in—built barriers? the by those in-built barriers? the chante by those in-built barriers? the change in _ by those in-built barriers? the change in the _ by those in-built barriers? the change in the law— by those in—built barriers? tue change in the law four by those in—built barriers? tte change in the law four years by those in—built barriers? "ttj: change in the law four years ago by those in—built barriers? ttj: change in the law four years ago was great in preventing the idea of homelessness but since the 70s we have had a two tier system where there are some people deemed to be priority for and those that are not deemed to be priority can be turned away from their counsel because they fit the criteria for housing. that means if you do not have a dependent child or a disability and it's quite often the reason you see people sleeping rough are single adults, it's because they do not qualify for

housing and those of the people routinely turned away by their councils and what we know is when that happens, people's lives get more complex and the difficulties rise and many, many additional needs accumulate around people and in the end that's more expensive for the state to deal with as well as the human cost that accumulates. there is still, the thing that we so in a pandemic which is all of these laws and kind of barriers being removed, everyone in the scheme brought in, thousands of people put into some form of accommodation, that is the way to go, let's remove legal barriers and make sure at the very least, everyone has somewhere safe to sleep the and let's make sure there is a long—term stable housing to end homelessness for good. thank ou for to end homelessness for good. thank you for talking _ to end homelessness for good. thank you for talking to _ to end homelessness for good. thank you for talking to us _ to end homelessness for good. thank you for talking to us today. _

time for a look at the weather. matt taylor joins time for a look at the weather. matt taylorjoins us. good morning. it is half term for some parts of the uk and an extended bank holidayjubilee weekend. if you see darkening clouds coming your way there could be a scattering of showers, real mixture of sunshine and showers to take us through the first half of the week and feeling cool when the showers come your way. at the moment the latest radar shows plenty of them in northern and eastern scotland, northern ireland, north—western england, dry weather at the moment through the midlands and southern england into east anglia but even here we see showers as we go through the morning and into the afternoon. potentially heavy and thundery, and because they are slow moving there will be a contrast of some getting wet and other areas largely dry, the best of the weather in the channel islands and kent. you will need the sunshine to feel warmth, 11—16 degreed but the pollen levels will

be generally low. this evening and overnight the showers continue for england and wales, dry and clearer periods across scotland and northern ireland and here it could be quite chilly, temperatures dropping low enough for some frost through well sheltered valleys. elsewhere temperature is generally single figures to start tuesday. england and wales, plenty of cloud, some sunny breaks but a scattering of showers, some of those thundery, longer spells of rain pushing to the north of northern ireland as we go through the day. some parts of south—west scotland and western fringes of england and wales have a drier and brighter day, more sunshine, could feel warmer but generally on the cool side in the east. into wednesday cloud with outbreaks of rain pushing across the irish sea towards wales and england, this is where the bulk of the showers are, and in scotland, some could be heavy and thundery, light winds, temperatures again notching

up winds, temperatures again notching up a degree. and that sends us towards the jubilee up a degree. and that sends us towards thejubilee weekend. if you have plans, here is the general theme. the details, we will firm up. high pressure generally around to begin with but watch this feature as we go through thursday and friday, could bring cloud and showers across the northern half of the country and as we go through into saturday and sunday, an area of low pressure across france could shove some heavy showers and gusty winds to the south but the emphasis is on a lot of dry weather for the jubilee weekend but the emphasis is on a lot of dry weather for thejubilee weekend and once the sun is out it should feel pleasantly warm. goodbye for now.

this is bbc news. these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the world: an emergency meeting in paris as the uk calls for an investigation into the treatment of liverpool fans at saturday's champions league final. a bbc investigation finds police in england and wales are slower to attend serious incidents compared to six years ago and the number of crimes being solved has fallen too. nothing came of it. that was it. and ijust kept it since. at what point do you then go and say enough is enough? is it when a child dies? ijust need the police to help me and - they won't. theyjust won't help me.
