or around the world. the french government are holding an emergency meeting 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 shows 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. neil atkinson is from the anfield wrap which is a podcast

and website dedicated to liverpool football club. he was at the game and told me what happened i was of the train station at 615, the nearest to the ground, a 15 minute walk, may be less. and we were held twice on the way. there was no clear reason. the hall that was no clear reason. the hall that was meant to be for ticket checks, it was a bottleneck situation that involved people being cattle and forced into a small space. when we got to where they ticket checks where, they were only four people but by the time we got there they had given up. i walked around the ground and saw some friends and they were unbelievable numbers of queues in front of gates that were close. gates x, y and z, and when i got round to my gate, they opened it for a second, and they closed it again after because i had otherfriends

who are coming in. i managed to get into the ground but that period of time, i got off at the train station at 615 and i was in the ground at 20 past eight. that is how long it took, i was lucky to be able to do this. at first uefa said it was because fans were late but this was false, and i do not want uefa to run an investigation because i do not trust a word they say. this morning, the french sports _ trust a word they say. this morning, the french sports minister— trust a word they say. this morning, the french sports minister talked . the french sports minister talked about fake tickets and local youths causing problems. from what you are saying, it sounds like a big part of the problem was the logistics were not fit for purpose, for it to manage the numbers of people, fans, trying to get into the stadium. the? trying to get into the stadium. they were not fit — trying to get into the stadium. they were not fit for _ trying to get into the stadium. tie: 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 and there were only two ways in and our way in was congested. there were real madrid supporters trying to get in our route as well. this is the uefa problem, we can talk about the police, they were unbelievably heavy—handed and also after the match, the french authorities were talking about the problems before the match but it was horrendous when we came out of the ground. another incidence of a bottleneck at certain experts and people being attacked by the police with pepper spray and tear gas after the match. that is not an issue about tickets. that is an issue about the police. it comes back to uefa organisation, clearly not fit for purpose, the idea that the primary factor is uefa and uefa investigate uefa, that it does not make sense. any investigation has to be independent and transparent. uefa is meetin: be independent and transparent. uefa is meeting with the french officials

from the stadium and it does not send that you have great expectations from that meeting of getting answers as to what happened, why it happened. lleiia getting answers as to what happened, why it happened-— why it happened. uefa lied, they said the issues _ why it happened. uefa lied, they said the issues were _ why it happened. uefa lied, they said the issues were because - why it happened. uefa lied, theyl said the issues were because fans were late and they put it on the big screen on the ground, they give that information to the british broadcaster.— information to the british broadcaster. . , , broadcaster. uefa will dispute the fact that you _ broadcaster. uefa will dispute the fact that you say _ broadcaster. uefa will dispute the fact that you say that _ broadcaster. uefa will dispute the fact that you say that they - broadcaster. uefa will dispute the fact that you say that they have i fact that you say that they have lied, they will say it was their understanding.— lied, they will say it was their understanding. lied, they will say it was their understandinu. , .. ., understanding. they can that, the first thing organisation _ understanding. they can that, the first thing organisation do - understanding. they can that, the first thing organisation do is - understanding. they can that, the | first thing organisation do is blame supporters, we have history of this, uefa can dispute if they want, the first thing they did was go to... i want to talk about supporters arriving late, if any of your viewers go to the theatre, no one tells you to turn up two hours early. when you go to a big football match, that happens, people turned up match, that happens, people turned up very early, i was one of those people, i turned up unbelievably early and a lot of my friends who

had tear gas and pepper spray around the ground. some of the same people were hit with batons after the game. uefa can say what they want, why should we have faith in what comes out of their mouth? they have not entered good faith in any way, shape orform. anything that entered good faith in any way, shape or form. anything that involves uefa investigating uefa is a profound waste of everybody�*s time. let's get more now from our paris correspondent hugh schofield. blaming football fans, how was i going down? it’s blaming football fans, how was i going down?— blaming football fans, how was i going down? it's very interesting, because there _ going down? it's very interesting, because there are _ going down? it's very interesting, because there are two _ going down? it's very interesting, because there are two things, - going down? it's very interesting, because there are two things, an| because there are two things, an attempt to find out what went wrong, and another question of why was the government and the police in france putting the blame so quickly on the liverpool supporters when everything that has appeared in the news since then, reported by frenchjournalists

we were at the scene, suggests that the fault lies in the organisation and that these key questions of massive false tickets and liverpool fans turning up late which were the initial reasons given by the government here, they don't stand up. more and more, it is coming out in the newspapers as we get eyewitness accounts from liverpool fans, from french people who were there, that was not the issue. it was pure organisation and the question of the liverpool fans coming off one railway station because they were told the other one had a strike on the railway, there was a bottleneck at one entrance to the ground when it could have been possible to move them a few hundred yards away and would have got in without so much difficulty. two issues, what went wrong, and was the government and where the authorities far too hasty to place the blame on

the liverpool fans. an emerging consensus, as they look at the reporting, that it's true, this idea that liverpool fans were to blame, there was mass false ticketing was too convenient and we'll be hearing a lot more about this in the hours ahead. ma; a lot more about this in the hours ahead. ~ , , , a lot more about this in the hours ahead. g , , , ., ahead. my guest said, why should we have any faith — ahead. my guest said, why should we have any faith in _ ahead. my guest said, why should we have any faith in uefa _ ahead. my guest said, why should we have any faith in uefa and _ ahead. my guest said, why should we have any faith in uefa and the - ahead. my guest said, why should we have any faith in uefa and the talks . have any faith in uefa and the talks today in paris, they have not earned our good faith? unless there is a complete about turn and what the french authorities are saying, that it was really down to pure organisation, lack of organisation, why should anyone have faith in this meeting and its outcomes?- meeting and its outcomes? indeed. uefa is that — meeting and its outcomes? indeed. uefa is that this _ meeting and its outcomes? indeed. uefa is that this meeting _ meeting and its outcomes? indeed. uefa is that this meeting today. - uefa is that this meeting today. there are other people there, the police, the stadium, the french football association, the local authorities for the area and paris.

there is also a lot of pressure from the press, the french press, to get to the bottom of this, and the sports press, they will not be fobbed off about how there were thousands of false tickets and the liverpool fans were all to blame because it turned up late. that is not going to hold water. that argument is breaking down as we speak. there should be a proper explanation and the french authorities will want one. they are running big shows, the rugby world cup, the olympic games, they do not want a repetition of this. they will need to find out what went wrong. and it seems likely, a question of very poor information, lack of preparation, one of the railway lines being down forcing the fans into one area, the other issue of local youths, gangs of local youth, clearly part of the problem as well, and that is an issue because the stadium isn't a part of town where

there are problems with youth gangs and so on. all this needs to be addressed. there is a willingness addressed. there is a willingness address it. ., ~ , ., addressed. there is a willingness address it. ., ~' , ., , addressed. there is a willingness address it. ., ~' , . 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. joining me is steve andrews. he was the victim of a road rage assault on the most recent

bank holiday monday and reached out to the police. thank you very much for talking to us today. i have been reading the background to what happened to you in preparation for our conversation. it really is quite astonishing. tell us what happened. i it really is quite astonishing. tell us what happened.— us what happened. i had a car overtake _ us what happened. i had a car overtake me _ us what happened. i had a car overtake me and _ us what happened. i had a car overtake me and block- us what happened. i had a car overtake me and block off - us what happened. i had a car overtake me and block off my| us what happened. i had a car - overtake me and block off my way, and he got out of the car, walked up to my door, opened up the driver door and swearing, shouting, he started to punch me, i got punched in the face several times, and afterwards, i called 999, and i was told to follow him because there was no one free to come out at that time. , ., ~

myself, they were pretending that they were going to go round the roundabout but they would go other way round, i was trying to follow them, i was explaining to the lady on the telephone, i am worried i'm going to have an accident if i keep following and eventually they pulled into a back road and i did not want to follow them down that road, and i decided not to follow them any more, ten to 15 minutes i had been following them at that point. hour following them at that point. how has this experience _ following them at that point. how has this experience left you feeling about the ability to ask for help if about the ability to ask for help if a crime occurs, if a situation arises like this? what has the follow up bean from the police if any? it follow up bean from the police if an ? ., . , , follow up bean from the police if an ? ., , , ., , follow up bean from the police if an? ., ., any? it two days before they called me, i thought _ any? it two days before they called me, i thought someone _ any? it two days before they called me, i thought someone would - any? it two days before they called l me, i thought someone would come any? it two days before they called - me, i thought someone would come and see me, no one turned up, i got a telephone call two days later and the question was very much, did you have anyone with you, do you have any dash cam footage, and i did not, and they said it was victim led

whatever the response would be, but i did not feel like i was being encouraged to follow it through because i did not have enough evidence, nobody stopped to help me, it was in the middle of a bank holiday monday, very busy on the road, ifelt like it was holiday monday, very busy on the road, i felt like it was only going to prolong my anxiety which i suffer with anyway. if i was to try and take it any further and i was not left with any kind of confidence that they were going to do anything about it. i asked if they had spoken to the person, i had given them so many details, but they said no, because the incident was over by the time they were free. we because the incident was over by the time they were free.— time they were free. we had not soken time they were free. we had not spoken to _ time they were free. we had not spoken to anyone _ time they were free. we had not spoken to anyone because - time they were free. we had not spoken to anyone because the l spoken to anyone because the incident was over. most crimes happen in that order, don't they? they happen and then the police have to talk to someone. the incident is over. that does not feel like a good reason not to speak to someone, does it? i reason not to speak to someone, does it? ., , ., , reason not to speak to someone, does it? ., , , , ., it? i was really shocked they had not followed _ it? i was really shocked they had not followed through _ it? i was really shocked they had not followed through with - it? i was really shocked they had not followed through with all - it? i was really shocked they had not followed through with all the details i had given them in that person had not been spoken to about what they had done. you

thank you so much for talking to us today at bbc news. we wish you well. he experienced a road rage attack and told us about it and how the police responded. we have not had a chance to contact devon and cornwall police, he said he feels sympathetic for the situation of police offers. i am going to read out some your tweets. this message says my car was battered twice on the high street and the police did not attend, only after it mounted a facebook campaign, the police wrote to the owner asking if they were involved and they responded saying no. another person said they had a theft from the shop, the cctv was on facebook, we got the name and address of the person and two days later the police came out after a lot of chasing up, hopefully they will make an arrest today. those last two comments, they reflect what

our correspondent was talking about, a pattern of people starting their own investigations. this message says it is narrow—minded to accuse the play system of failing cases, budget cuts implemented by government has been instrumental to delays, less staff to deal with crime, that is something we reflect, when we talk to the police federation who say they need more resources. 0ne federation who say they need more resources. one more message, a primary teacher, my husband catalytic converter was stolen from the school grounds where he was teaching, you can see the car registration and the police said they could not do anything as they did not have enough evidence. thank you for sending your comments, if you for sending your comments, if you want to tell us about your experience of crime, you can contact us on twitter. britain's lowest—priced groceries have risen at a similar pace to mid—range food items, research published by the office for national statistics has found.

6.7%. 30 rose faster, the biggest, pasta, up 50%, crisps up 17%, bread, 16%, minced beef and rice all considerably up.— 16%, minced beef and rice all considerably up. 16%, minced beef and rice all considerabl u-. ., , ., considerably up. you can see at the to of the considerably up. you can see at the top of the graph. — considerably up. you can see at the top of the graph, the _ considerably up. you can see at the top of the graph, the pastor, - considerably up. you can see at the top of the graph, the pastor, the i top of the graph, the pastor, the price of pasta up, crisps, bread, all those items, staples that most of us would have or a combination in ourfood shop every of us would have or a combination in our food shop every week. you of us would have or a combination in our food shop every week.— our food shop every week. you can see from the _ our food shop every week. you can see from the chart _ our food shop every week. you can see from the chart that _ our food shop every week. you can see from the chart that six - our food shop every week. you can see from the chart that six of- our food shop every week. you can see from the chart that six of the l see from the chart that six of the 30 actually fell in price. so potatoes, cheese, pizza, chips, sausages and apples were lower. the overall picture for the 30 strong basket was they had increased overall in line with the average rate of food inflation. it overall in line with the average rate of food inflation.— rate of food inflation. it was interesting _ rate of food inflation. it was interesting to _ rate of food inflation. it was interesting to look - rate of food inflation. it was interesting to look at - rate of food inflation. it was interesting to look at the i rate of food inflation. it was - interesting to look at the cheapest items, if you look at the next cheapest item of that food type whether it is pasta or rice, quite a

saying some months ago, her experience of food prices bore no resemblance to what the average rate of inflation was, then i think this basket today, it does not, her argument does not bear out when you look at these figures today. but it is only a snapshot.— look at these figures today. but it is only a snapshot. thank you very much for telling _ is only a snapshot. thank you very much for telling us _ is only a snapshot. thank you very much for telling us about - is only a snapshot. thank you very much for telling us about that - much for telling us about that research from 0ns. 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". 0ur political correspondent jonathan blake explained the new rules. graduates are only eligible to come under current immigration rules if they have a job offer or are sponsored by a specific employer, and this new scheme, first announced by the government in march but comes in. today, is, i think, designed to plug a bit of a gap in the current visa

roots under which people can come to the uk off to brexit. as you say, as 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 this specific route for high potential individuals. they will be able to get a two—year visa if they have a bachelors or masters degree, three years if they have a phd. there is a fee. they need to be able to speak fluent english and they have to pass security checks. on being granted a visa of this kind, they will be able to bring dependents with them, so theirfamily can come, in other words. if you look at this, it is aimed at boosting some of the skills 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 that there were around 1 million morejobs in certain high school sectors than there were people eligible to fill those roles. so the government acting here too, as it has said, on announcing the expansion or the uptake of this scheme today, attempting to mean that the uk can continue to attract the best and brightest from across the ground, as the chancellor, rishi sunak has put it. and more partygate stories over the weekend. what is your assessment of confidence in the prime minister as we start the new week? mps will be back in their constituencies, parliament is in recess, they will be mulling over the sue gray report and what it means for borisjohnson, the conservative party

and the government. there were a couple more tory backbenchers coming out at the weekend saying they no longer have confidence in the prime minister, so we have a few names, half a dozen or so since the sue gray report came out. remember, there needs to be 5a who take the decision to write a letter to the chairman of the backbench 1922 committee calling for a vote of confidence in the prime minister to trigger that, and at the moment, while mps are sort of doing their own thing and making up their own minds, there isn't any coordinated action to attempt to move against borisjohnson. president zelensky has made a rare trip beyond the ukrainian capital, kyiv, to visit his troops on the 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 severodonetsk — 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 under way 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. well, earlier, ispoke to our ukraine correspondent joe inwood and europe correspondent bethany bell about the ongoing situation in the region. i spoke first to joe about president zelensky�*s most recent moves beyond the capital. he was in kharkiv which was a front line, this is a city that was 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. he's someone the russians have tried to kill on a number of occasions, sending hit squads to the capital. the fact they were happy to send him there means

that they think that part of the country is safer, is back in their hands. it is not the same picture in the east. as you say, he's saying the situation is unbearably difficult in the town of severodonetsk. this is the far eastern lands which the ukrainians still control, in the luhansk region which is under their control. the russians are pushing huge military barrages, 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 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 today, 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 is a part of that. thank you very much. let's head to brussels, let's talk about the meeting of european leaders in brussels to try and agree a ban on russian oil and gas imports but it sounds the prospects are not looking hopeful. bethany bell, what is next? ambassadors have been meeting again this morning and we understand the latest compromise proposal which they are considering is something that would see an oil embargo on oil, seaborne oil, but there would be an exemption for oil that is brought by pipeline to central landlocked european countries such as hungary, which are so heavily dependent on russian oil.

it has been a very difficult few weeks for the eu trying to push through this six package of sanctions on russia. 0n the one hand, countries like hungary which say the effect of an oil embargo would be in the words of the prime minister, like a nuclear bomb on the hungarian economy and you have other countries like poland which say 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'm joined now by 0rysia lutsevych,

head and research fellow of the ukraine forum for russia and eurasia. thank you forjoining us. i want to talk about president zelensky and his visit beyond the capital region of kyiv. we have talked a lot during this war about morale and how the ukrainians morale has been much higher than the russians so how important symbolically was it for him to make the journey further east? i him to make the “ourney further east? g him to make the “ourney further east? ~' ., him to make the “ourney further east? ~ ., .., him to make the “ourney further east? ~ ., , ., east? i think our cave is important for ukraine. _ east? i think our cave is important for ukraine, morale, _ east? i think our cave is important for ukraine, morale, because - east? i think our cave is important for ukraine, morale, because it. east? i think our cave is important for ukraine, morale, because it is| for ukraine, morale, because it is the second largest city that russia has tried to take and has failed, and it is a symbol of ukraine's capacity to repel russia. —— kharkiv. despite heavy losses in fighting in the donbas region, overall around 90% of ukrainians believe the country has capacity to repel russian aggression and

president zelensky being there in the front line in the east shows he is leading the nation in a very important fight and also it's important fight and also it's important for people to see he has this bravery, that he can project notjust out of his bunker in a hugely protected area of kyiv but also out in the front line.- also out in the front line. morale is aood also out in the front line. morale is good but _ also out in the front line. morale is good but on — also out in the front line. morale is good but on the _ also out in the front line. morale is good but on the ground, - also out in the front line. morale is good but on the ground, howl is good but on the ground, how difficult is it in places like the luhansk region? we heard from an earlier guest are saying this is a war of attrition, piece by piece, it may be in small steps rather than bigger steps but that is going to be very wearing for the ukrainian people and resources which they clearly need more of to fight the russians? ~ , ,., , , , clearly need more of to fight the russians? ~ , , , , ., ., russians? absolutely. this is a war of annihilation, _ russians? absolutely. this is a war of annihilation, not _ russians? absolutely. this is a war of annihilation, not just _ russians? absolutely. this is a war of annihilation, notjust attrition. i of annihilation, not just attrition. if you look at cities like severodonetsk which is the relocated capital after luhansk was taken over

in 2014, 60% of housing stock is destroyed. 0ut in 2014, 60% of housing stock is destroyed. out of about 100,000 people, about 20,000 are remaining in the city. you have people fleeing and russia really deploying the tactic of scorched earth, they are struggling to advance on land but they are bombarding to annihilate they are bombarding to annihilate the ukrainian position and take over basically empty cities, they are taking and destroying cities into their control. this taking and destroying cities into their control.— taking and destroying cities into their control. as long as the west continues buying _ their control. as long as the west continues buying russian - their control. as long as the west continues buying russian oil- their control. as long as the west continues buying russian oil and. continues buying russian oil and gas, it is supporting the russian war machine with the other hand, those were the words president zelensky but as we look at the meeting in brussels today, russia day hungary is objecting holding out against the ban but how significant will it be if that ban cannot be agreed? i

will it be if that ban cannot be aareed? g will it be if that ban cannot be aareed? ~ ., , will it be if that ban cannot be aareed? ~ .,, ., will it be if that ban cannot be aareed? ~ ., , ., will it be if that ban cannot be aareed? ~ .,, ., , ., ., agreed? i think it was a bit of a mistake to _ agreed? i think it was a bit of a mistake to put _ agreed? i think it was a bit of a mistake to put in _ agreed? i think it was a bit of a mistake to put in the _ agreed? i think it was a bit of a mistake to put in the six - agreed? i think it was a bit of a i mistake to put in the six package agreed? i think it was a bit of a - mistake to put in the six package of sanctions, because there is much more beyond sanctions of oil that could be done in a where of putting pressure on russia. it is significant but i think there is a determination in the mission, especially with the president of the european council ursula von der leyen to push through it but i think hungary is very smart and also diverting attention from the real reason they are against the oil embargo. their companies are making huge money on price differentials of the cheap oil products they are getting and selling them at huge margins in the european market and financing the agenda of the president. there is a link much stronger than just economy and prices, it is the money machine of 0rban and we must understand how it is dangerous to european democracy,

normal but the real madrid section was virtually full maybe an hour before kick—off and the liverpool and was less than half empty so there was obviously a situation and by the point before kick—off it was clear there was an issue, social media showing all sorts of situations outside with fans being caught up so i went outside to see what was happening and i saw huge crowds of liverpool fans being kept back by police and when i was out there the police started spraying tear gas, i managed to get a mouthful myself and it was not very pleasant. the fans were stood there, behaving themselves, waiting to get in, it was as calm as it could be but there was a suggestion, the fans causing trouble, they were just frustrated and confused as to why they were not being let in. to frustrated and confused as to why they were not being let in.- they were not being let in. to be clear ou they were not being let in. to be clear you saw — they were not being let in. to be clear you saw the _ they were not being let in. to be clear you saw the unprovoked i they were not being let in. to be | clear you saw the unprovoked use they were not being let in. to be - clear you saw the unprovoked use of tear gas and pepper spray? i saw clear you saw the unprovoked use of tear gas and pepper spray?- tear gas and pepper spray? i saw it. i filmed footage _ tear gas and pepper spray? i saw it. i filmed footage of _ tear gas and pepper spray? i saw it. i filmed footage of it _ tear gas and pepper spray? i saw it. i filmed footage of it and _ tear gas and pepper spray? i saw it. i filmed footage of it and it - tear gas and pepper spray? i saw it. i filmed footage of it and it is - tear gas and pepper spray? i saw it. i filmed footage of it and it is on - i filmed footage of it and it is on my twitter account and it was unprovoked. my twitter account and it was unprovoked-— my twitter account and it was unrovoked. ~ . ., ,,

as we know, liverpool have a troubled history in this situation where fans have been in the situation before so it was quite a traumatic experience for a lot of the fans, i guess. but safe to say the fans, i guess. but safe to say the fans, i guess. but safe to say the fans i saw at the liverpool end of the ground were waiting as patiently as possible, just confused as to why they were being treated as they were. as to why they were being treated as the were. ., as to why they were being treated as the were. . ., , , as to why they were being treated as the were. . . , , . they were. that has been reflected earlier when _ they were. that has been reflected earlier when i _ they were. that has been reflected earlier when i spoke _ they were. that has been reflected earlier when i spoke to _ they were. that has been reflected earlier when i spoke to a _ they were. that has been reflected earlier when i spoke to a guest - they were. that has been reflected. earlier when i spoke to a guest from the anfield wrap podcast he was at the anfield wrap podcast he was at the game. i1 —— i wonder what you make of the line being put out by french officials saying it was to do with people having fake tickets, they are mentioning the french sports minister today saying local queues were also involved so what do you make of this response? and why, when the real madrid fans seemed to be able to get into the stadium in good time, the liverpool fans could

not? �* , ., ., ., good time, the liverpool fans could not? ., ., ,, , , not? there's a lot of issues. first a full assault _ not? there's a lot of issues. first a full assault local _ not? there's a lot of issues. first a full assault local youth - not? there's a lot of issues. firstj a full assault local youth climbing fences and trying to run into the stadium and i saw instances of that and on both occasions they were caught by police and stewards but in terms of how the real madrid fans were able to get into the ground, they were in different areas, and they were in different areas, and the liverpool end of the ground is a tight area, it's like l shaped, the space for those fans is much more restricted. a lot of kind of organisational issues which did not help liverpool fans getting in and having been at the sta difference before four previous games, it is not a ground designed, it is a world cup final venue, hosting the olympics in 2024 but it struggles to cope with big events and crowds coming to the stadium because of the way it is designed. i have seen and heard the french authorities give their explanation, i don't know why they say what they did, i think there's a lot of early confusion but what i saw, there was no situation with the late arrival of fans. we do

not know about fake tickets, the investigation will be able to tell us about that, how many were scanned and how many were turned away but it was a mess, some of the treatment of fans was disgusting.— fans was disgusting. mark, thank you for tellinu fans was disgusting. mark, thank you for telling us — fans was disgusting. mark, thank you for telling us your _ fans was disgusting. mark, thank you for telling us your story. _ 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. 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, 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 last night, viewers were treated to a special one off bbc documentary, featuring the queen as we've never seen her before. ahead of her platinum jubilee, the unseen queen explored hundreds of private home movies shot by the royal family over the last 90 years. among them, were memories made on board the royal yacht britannia. john maguire has been on board. 0ur cameras go on board the royal yacht britannia, now moored by tower bridge. for almost 45 years, she served as a floating royal palace, a global business centre, and a family refuge away from the permanent scrutiny of public life.

her majesty's yacht britannia hosted kings, queens, presidents and prime ministers while the crew ensured everything ran to perfection, above and below decks. rear entrance to the engine room. former engineer rushy, everyone has a nickname in the royal navy, of course, is showing us around. and here we are inside the mechanical palace of the royal yacht. because although she was a floating palace for the royal family, this was our cathedral down here. the engines haven't run for years but when they did, nothing was left to chance as the order came down from the bridge to set sail. and we were waiting for a telephone call from the bridge that says, obey them. you know at that point the royal family are on board. and she's just about 30 foot up there. you cannot imagine the feeling.

you can't see her, but the feeling of all of a sudden the responsibility now for the safety and security of the royal family has come within this family. so we were really, i was the queen's chauffer without eyes. ijust did what the bridge told me. but we got her to the church on time. out of all the gauges, dials and warning lights, rushy reckons this instrument, the inclinometer, which says if the ship is level, is the most important in the engine room. especially challenging if guests gathered on one side of the ship to watch the royal marines band. all these people are at a cocktail party. so when they go on the upper deck, each and every one of them is a spirit level because they have got a glass. so you can't afford them to put it down, even her majesty has got a glass. so you can't bluff it. if you're not perpendicular,

everyone will know. in the state dining room, these days available for hire and laid up for dinner, we find former steward peter. it's not that he works here any more, he just can't resist making sure everything is shipshape. he recalls how the crew, known as yachties, would have to set up and dismantle functions in a matter of minutes. so you would have to bring the furniture down past the stairs, and nine times out of ten the queen always used to, when i was there, would sit on the stairs after a long evening and go, "ah!", and talk to her lady in waiting. it was quite funny, there were many a time i had to ask her, "excuse me, your majesty, would you mind moving, i have to bring the chairs down". "0h, am i in the way? yes! and it was that sort of rapport, but within 20 minutes it would be all back in the right place ready to start again. keeping the crew fit and healthy were the cooks, the medics and the pti, the physical training instructor.

george explained how they made the most of limited space with an ingenious take on tug—of—war. there would be a team here which was the port side, and you would have the rope which would be laid up here, and then it would go round the capstan, here, across here, to the capstan, and then down here you would have your opposition. so they're sort next to each other? so you're throwing abuse at each otherfrom either side. the queen once described the royal yacht as a place where she could truly relax and, at the decommissioning in 1997, seemed visibly upset. since then, britannia was brought here to leith near edinburgh to become a tourist attraction. so now, the royal yacht that once took britain to the rest of the world has visitors from around the world coming to britannia. that wasjohn that was john maguire that wasjohn maguire reporting. time to read out a couple of your

tweets on crime. mandy says her son had his bike stolen recently... 0n on this from another viewer who says that the car was jacked up on the drive, thieves stole the catalytic converter, four of them involved, one of them threateningly with a baseball bat if i tried to stop them, called the police and was told no one was coming as it was not a life—threatening incident. really interesting to see your tweets and help many of you are trying to take matters into your own hands. carry out your own diy investigation whether it be on social media or elsewhere. i'm sorry i could not read out all them, so many tweets on that story today but thank you for watching this morning. joanna is here next. you are watching bbc news. have a good day.

hello. with it being half term for some of you, jubilee weekend approaching, i think more of you have got your eyes on what the weather prospects will be this week. certainly for the next few days, keep your eye on the sky because it is a very changeable few days, sunny spells and scattered and at times heavy and thundery showers. those showers now developing across parts of central, southern england and wales after a reasonably dry start. not everyone will see them. showers have been a bit more frequent further north, some of those will continue. but, again, some will slip between the showers and will stay dry all day long. lots of cloud, though. and it is going to feel rather cool for this stage in may, but when the sun comes out, it will feel quite pleasant. best of which are the channel islands, high uv levels here, but with all that cloud in place, generally low to moderate pollen. as you go through this evening and overnight, i think

it is england and wales most likely to see the showers, of course, some will stay dry. probably the best bet for staying dry, parts of central and southern scotland as well as northern ireland and it is here, a pretty chilly night, you could even see a touch of frost in one or two well sheltered glens. but a bright enough start here, a few mist and fog patches. england and wales, still plenty of cloud around and it is here where we will see the bulk of the showers. some of them becoming heavy and thundery, central eastern areas especially. the north of northern ireland will see more persistent rain push in later in the day. but western parts of scotland, western fringes of england and wales, probably a dry brighter day than today and it could feel a touch warmer. temperatures lifting only a degree or so. into wednesday, after another cool night, we will see rain push through northern ireland through the irish sea into wales and will develop into more showery conditions again. central and eastern parts most prone to that. western areas turning dry and bright and temperatures starting to lift up a little bit. which sends us, of course, towards thejubilee weekend. now, it is a few days away, so exact details will change, but here's a general look at the picture. high pressure looks to dominate as we go into thursday.

watch this system through thursday, friday, just pushing its way in, could bring a bit more cloud and one or two showers before fading, and then through saturday and sunday, it is how close this area of low pressure in france gets, potentially bringing some windy and at times showery conditions toward southern parts of england and wales. but, yes, there is that chance of few showers continuing as we go through into thejubilee weekend. but, actually, for a lot of the time and for some of you, it will be completely dry. and in the brighter breaks between the cloud, it is actually going to feel quite warm in the sunshine. temperatures generally could get a few degrees higher than normalfor earlyjune. 18 to 21 degrees for some in the south and the west.

this is bbc news. i'm joanna gosling and these are the headlines at 11. the price of the cheapest pasta rises by 50% and bread by 16% as new data shows exactly how every day essentials have become more expensive. the tracking of the 30 most basic items was sparked by food writer and journalist, jack monroe. we'll be speaking to her later in the programme... how are you finding the rises in basic food costs? are you coping or do you need help? we want to hear from you. you can message me on twitter. i'm @bbcjoannag or you can use the hastag bbcyourquestions. 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. an emergency meeting in paris as the uk calls for an investigation into the treatment of liverpool fans at saturday's champions league final. 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 eu leaders try to agree a ban on russian oil. and from one royal to another — king abdullah ofjordan speaks to the bbc ahead of the queen's platinum jubilee this

week, describing her majesty as a beacon of light and hope. official figures on groceries — out this morning — show the price of pasta rose by 50 % in the year to april. the office for national statistics looked at 30 basic products on 7 supermarket websites. six of them became less expensive. bread, minced beef and rice were among those that rose the fastest. joining us now is jack monroe, food campaigner and writer. twitter food campaigner and writer. thread you wrote earli the twitter thread you wrote earlier in the year in response to the fact that the official stats on staples

did not include the real basics had a real impact. and now we have the ons a real impact. and now we have the 0ns looking at those items. what is your view of what they have come up with? ~ ., , , , your view of what they have come up with? ~ . , , , . your view of what they have come up with? . , , . ., with? well, it has been very much a collaborative _ with? well, it has been very much a collaborative effort _ with? well, it has been very much a collaborative effort and _ with? well, it has been very much a collaborative effort and the - with? well, it has been very much a collaborative effort and the ons - collaborative effort and the 0ns have been brilliant in how quickly they've implemented looking at the cost of very, very basic products. the figures out today won't come as news to anyone who's actually living this because we've all seen the prices of food go up but, for so long, the official statistics, it was a bit of gas lighting. telling us it is not true, it is not real, what you are experiencing is not what you are experiencing is not what is actually happening so to have that sort of pin down into official data, official statistics that the reality for millions of people in the uk at the moment puts us in a stronger position to campaign for things like better wages, higher uprising in benefits

actually, the difference in price rises for people who on low incomes and low budgets is that much greater. it gives us two things to do. firstly, to hold the supermarkets to account testify they have high price rises unequally and increasing the profit margins on the shoulders of those who can least afford to suffer them but also to ask mps and businesses if, but the raising of benefits and increasing wages so that people who currently have the least in our society, who are paying disproportionately more for basic products, can afford to do so. the 0ns should not basically be on supermarkets to price rise there pasta to poverty wages but it is a joint response that everybody needs to be looking after those in our society that are the most vulnerable and have the least recourse. white makes what are the people who are getting in touch with you say about

the impact on them? i was at my local food bank a few days ago and i met a guy there, john and we talked for a good half hour, 45 minutes. and john has a partner and has three children, 0liver children have special needs. and before he fell ill he was an aeronautical engineer. ludicrously intelligent. a delightful guide to chat to but he sat there and said that every week when he gets his statement of what the universal credit is going to be when it comes in, they then make a list of all the household bills and they work out what they could not pay, who the least worst companies were for chargers and bailiffs and also how many meals him and his partner could mess that we in order to feed their children and that is, you know, the price of food. people are being priced out of their own

dinner up and down the country. the rise in the use of food banks in this country is astronomical and it is just set to get worse and the more expensive food gets the less donations there are for food banks as well because people who normally donate to food banks don't have despair in their budget so it is the knock—on impact, it is anonymous. when you put that thread out earlier in the year and it went viral, it had this huge impact, as discussed, i seem to remember you went back to the supermarket that you had been going to and they had actually then subsequently dropped the prices back down. is that right? what are you seeing in your experience? i mean, obviously, we get here now the wider picture as well. 50. obviously, we get here now the wider picture as well-— picture as well. so, as to where brilliant. and _ picture as well. so, as to where brilliant. and they _ picture as well. so, as to where brilliant. and they reinstated i picture as well. so, as to where i brilliant. and they reinstated their smart price range which they are now changing over to the just essentials range. and they reinstated the full range. and they reinstated the full range but they did more than that.

they put it in all of their stories which means it was accessible to everyone but they are the only supermarket to do it. all of the others just out of held fast and ignored it, really. i had communications with most of the big four and the responses i got from sainsbury�*s, mostly, was almost belligerent. it was like, well, this is what we're doing. and it was like, well can't see the impact it is having on people? upon supermarket can do it i honestly expected, because of the way that sort of supermarkets competitive pricing works, once that the others might follow suit but they just haven't and that is that the sort of, well, it is a bit... upsetting, really. but, as i say, it is not the responsible to have supermarkets to price compete with, sort of, low benefits and low wages. but one of them is in a position to reinstate them is in a position to reinstate the value range so they all should, ultimately. but it is huge and it is

very complex and there is not a simple sort of magic wand solution. there arejust lots of simple sort of magic wand solution. there are just lots of little things that people can do that will hopefully make things a bit better. so somebody is watching and over they are struggling and, you know, they are struggling and, you know, they are struggling and, you know, they are seeing these bold statistics putting figures on what they live daily and they know that they live daily and they know that the cost of living, you know, it's going up across the piece, put us out the little things that you would suggest might help?— suggest might help? firstly, whenever— suggest might help? firstly, whenever somebody - suggest might help? firstly, whenever somebody comes| suggest might help? firstly, i whenever somebody comes to suggest might help? firstly, - whenever somebody comes to me for help because they are struggling to meet all of the bills and outgoings, i direct them to turn to turn to us website which is website that calculate what you are entitled to the majority of the time people are not claiming everything that they are entitled to and that is especially true with pensioners. the term pension credit has been found to become confusing so they think it is something that needs to be paid back or misplaced sense of pride or

whatever so there is help available for people and a lot of the time people just don't know what they are entitled to all the not claiming it and that would be my main point, really. just make sure that everything that you should be getting, you are getting. thank you so much for— getting, you are getting. thank you so much forjoining _ getting, you are getting. thank you so much forjoining us. _ getting, you are getting. thank you so much forjoining us. thank - getting, you are getting. thank you so much forjoining us. thank you. | so much forjoining us. thank you. thank you. and you get in touch with us here on bbc news to tell is about your experiences. you can get in touch with me on twitter. you can get in touch with me on twitter. 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 40%. 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. the headlines on bbc news... the price of the cheapest pasta rises by 50% and bread by 16% as new data shows how every day essentials in the uk have become more expensive. a bbc news investigation learns that police officers in england and wales 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. the french government are holding an emergency meeting 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. let's speak now to suzanne gower, she's a liverpool fan who was at the match. what was your experience in paris? i was one of the lucky ones, in that i attended with my sister and we got there very early. we were at the station by about quarter past six and we got into our seats. i am a lawyer and i worked in the hillsborough inquests i know quite a lot about crowd management and by the early stage we got there i could see that they were developing issues. there were structural problems with the way that the crowd were being funnelled through an underpass. they are being

essentially catalogued by the police who had created this narrow corridor that they were forcing the funds through, which was creating pinch points. eitherside through, which was creating pinch points. either side of this underpass. we were crowded in but it felt safe at that very early stage but i knew that, because all the fans are being forced to take the same route in, it was going to get bad and even at that very early stage i was worried they were going to be problems and i was proven right. the operational command was really poor and they did not react to the situation on the ground. 50 to the situation on the ground. so what is your view, now, then, of what is your view, now, then, of what subsequently happened? i am absolutel what subsequently happened? i —n absolutely disgusted. the problem is that i saw with my own eyes were entirely to deal with operational problems, the command and control, the police advertising tactics that they were using against the funds. and there are gangs of local youths who were attacking people and nothing was happening. and they turn to the police for help, the police

response was to brutalise them by the foot of the man who was sat next to me turned up at half—time. it had taken three hours to get in. you been robbed at knife—point, a french gang had been making throat slitting gestures to him whilst holding a knife and they're taking their mobile phones. and the police response to that was to tear gas them. so it was awful. there were them. so it was awful. there were the match. there was inadequate stewarding, where i was sat in the upper tier, there are twice groups of local youths made their way and without tickets which caused confrontations with liverpool fans who had been brutalised and tear gassed because of what had gone on outside. and then, after the match, there were problems getting out of... i neverfelt as there were problems getting out of... i never felt as unsafe there were problems getting out of... i neverfelt as unsafe in my life as i did trying to get from the stadium to the station. we have an out of 90 minutes. we even wait for additional time. out of 90 minutes. we even wait for additionaltime. it out of 90 minutes. we even wait for additional time. it is run all the way to the station and it was through fighting, riot police attacking people, there wasjust...

the air was thick with tear gas and i saw two muggings between the station and the ground in the station. and when we finally got on a train, the people who are next was on the train had been mugged at knife—point. they'd had their clothes slashed on mobile phones taken again. it was truly terrifying. taken again. it was truly terrifying-— taken again. it was truly terrifying. taken again. it was truly terri inc. , , terrifying. funds's sports minister said there was _ terrifying. funds's sports minister said there was no _ terrifying. funds's sports minister said there was no problems - terrifying. funds's sports minister said there was no problems in - terrifying. funds's sports minister said there was no problems in the spanish side who controlled their fans better than liverpool. what is your reaction to that? i fans better than liverpool. what is your reaction to that?— fans better than liverpool. what is your reaction to that? i can't speak for that. your reaction to that? i can't speak for that- i've _ your reaction to that? i can't speak for that. i've heard _ your reaction to that? i can't speak for that. i've heard indirectly - your reaction to that? i can't speak for that. i've heard indirectly that i for that. i've heard indirectly that there were problems but i cannot speak to that but what i would say is that the vans were put in a fun pack which was 200 metres away from the stadium. the liverpool fans were put in a fun park, told to go by uefa, to a fun packed 13 kilometres away and then we were told that there are two methods that we should use to get to the ground. they did not take account of the fact that there was a strike in one of these lines, so nearly everyone was coming

up lines, so nearly everyone was coming up from the same station so, as i say, i worked up from the same station so, as i say, iworked in up from the same station so, as i say, i worked in the hillsborough inquest and there are so many parallels. it is by luck, not judgment, that people weren't killed. at the way that the victims were blamed the match to put up a sign saying this is due to crowds getting there late. no, they were late. their genuine tickets because the next excuse was that everyone thousands of people with false tickets. no, absolutely not. everyone i saw that had genuine tickets bought from the club. the problem was not the liverpool fans. the problem was completely ineffective crowd management strategy foot of uefa and the parisien police have so many questions to answer. i know they're having a meeting today and i very much doubt there will be any fun representation there are a liverpool football club. the inquiry needs to be independent and include all of these parties and there has to be accountability. this was not the liverpool fans and, venue and are subtly watching this and thinking,

of going to any sporting event in paris, they have got the in two years, how could you be safe when they same people will be policing it. there has to be accountability to what they did to liverpool fans on saturday night.— to what they did to liverpool fans on saturday night. thank you very much. on saturday night. thank you very much- let's _ on saturday night. thank you very much. let's get _ on saturday night. thank you very much. let's get more _ on saturday night. thank you very much. let's get more from - on saturday night. thank you very much. let's get more from our. on saturday night. thank you very i much. let's get more from our paris correspondent. that was the perspective there of a liverpool fan. what is being said in paris this morning?— fan. what is being said in paris this morninu? ~ ., �* this morning? well, i mean, we're still getting _ this morning? well, i mean, we're still getting from _ this morning? well, i mean, we're still getting from the _ this morning? well, i mean, we're still getting from the government, the line that the main responsibility lies with false tickets and the mass arrival of ticketless or with false tickets liverpool fans at the stadium. the sports minister, newly appointed, struggling, really, slightly out of her depth, i would say, said on the radio that there were 30 or 40,000 liverpool fans who arrived without, they're mixing it up. i do without tickets or with false tickets, is not quite clear how many in each category. and that was it. she said over again, that is how the capacity

again of the stadium. but there's line is becoming more and more tenuous. as you read the eyewitness accounts from britain. it also from french journalists and french officials and representatives of clubs and so on who are there who are bringing out the testimony like what we have heard and saying, no, the liverpool fans were there good and early. where is the evidence of this mass ticket fraud and so on? i think this line of defence will start looking very, very weak soon. it feels very much like uefa and the french authorities needed to find a of what went wrong and put that out but, you know, to be fair to them, i think there is a genuine desire to find out what happened not least because there are these big events coming up and they will need to know that if there are problems about organisation and if there are problems about youth gangs from the area around the stadium taking advantage of problems and

organisation to come and pillage and loot, as it seems that they did in a way that sounds absolutely horrendous, then the authorities want to get to the bottom of that and make sure there is no risk of a repeat. and make sure there is no risk of a re eat. ., g and make sure there is no risk of a reeat. ., ~' ,, 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". 0ur political correspondent, jonathan blake is at westminster. how is it going to work? this effectively — how is it going to work? this effectively plugs _ how is it going to work? this effectively plugs a _ how is it going to work? t1; effectively plugs a gap in the visa roots which have available to people to come and work or study in the uk at the moment. and there are options, orthere at the moment. and there are options, or there has been options for people who want to come and study here, for international students who have completed their studies and wanted to stay in the uk after that. also, for skilled workers. 0ne after that. also, for skilled workers. one other route called the global talent schema, foreign

leaders in theirfield. but global talent schema, foreign leaders in their field. but this global talent schema, foreign leaders in theirfield. but this is specifically for people who have been to one of the leading universities in countries around the world, according to a couple of different ranking systems which the government has used as the criteria. recently graduated within the last five years either with a b, bachelors degree, masters degree or phd, who will be able to come and live in the uk and potentially find work. crucially, they don't need an offer of a job before they apply or before they come. the idea is clearly to increase the pool the people which employers in the uk can recruit from at graduate level. there is some evidence of a shortage there. in certain sectors. so people will need to, as i say, have graduated within five years, there will still be a fee. they will still have to be able to speak fluent english. they will also be able to bring family members with them. as you say, the government is

portraying this as a way to attract some of the brightest and best of the chance of the's words, to come to the uk and post breaks it, it another example of the government tweaking and changing immigration rules to best, as ministers would see it, attract the right kind of people to be able to filljobs which are there in the economy. this was first announced back in march but it has just become operational as of today. hasjust become operational as of toda . ., g hasjust become operational as of toda . ., ,, hasjust become operational as of toda. ., ., ., thank you, jonathan. president zelensky has made a rare trip beyond the ukrainian capital, kyiv, to visit his troops on the 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 sere—vo—donyetsk — as 'indescribably difficult' for the ukrainian army. meanwhile, 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 under way 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. we can hear more about the situation in donbas, joe inwood is now in kyiv. tell us more, then, about the latest on the situation on the ground. 50. on the situation on the ground. so, that city that _ on the situation on the ground. ’srr, that city that president on the situation on the ground. 5h, that city that president zelensky was describing as impossibly difficult, that is now the focus of the russian assault. they are throwing everything at this one front. at the start of this what they decided to spread themselves rather then, that failed spectacularly, in fight for top now, they have learnt a lesson from that and what they're trying to capture this area called the donbas. this eastern industrial heartland. 0ne town, one village, one city at a

time. and this is the current focus for that. we understand the artillery barrage as there are so severe they have stopped counting the casualties. but the ukrainians are well dug in, as they have been across the region. they're putting up across the region. they're putting up fierce resistance and they say they are inflicting heavy casualties on the russians i think the thing that we need to watch out for in this battle is not, do the russians advance? but what price do they pay for those advances. and ultimately, will it be worth it for taking the city? will it be worth it for taking the ci ? ., ., city? the fighting in that region was under _ city? the fighting in that region was under way _ city? the fighting in that region was under way for _ city? the fighting in that region was under way for years - city? the fighting in that region was under way for years before | city? the fighting in that region - was under way for years before this conflict. went much rather wider, obviously, with the russian invasion year. what is the sense about how this could go? the question now is if they take the

donbas and they can expand these two people's republics. try to go on the counteroffensive with these new weapons, the new hardware that is coming in. it could a long, very, very difficult conflict for both sides. thank you. quite a bit of cloud today and feeling: those cloudy moments but some sunshine here and there. the best of which across the channel

crime, we hearfrom their experiences that there is a bit of a lottery in terms of how the police respond to them, so some domestic abuse victims tell us that they have police who will be there in five minutes, who will secure them and ensure their safety and take them somewhere safe and arrest the perpetrator, however there are far too many victims for whom that is not their experience, that we had won domestic abuse case where the police didn't turn up until the next day and some low—level climbs where the police don't turn up till and situations where the police are encouraging victims to collect their own evidence rather than have the police do that. and this is putting victims in a really difficult position whereby some victims receive an exemplary service but for others the standards they get from the police. 0ur short of what they deserve to expect. with; the police. our short of what they deserve to expect.— the police. our short of what they deserve to expect. why do you think this is? ithink—

deserve to expect. why do you think this is? i think there's _ deserve to expect. why do you think this is? i think there's quite - deserve to expect. why do you think this is? i think there's quite a - deserve to expect. why do you think this is? i think there's quite a lot - this is? i think there's quite a lot that the police _ this is? i think there's quite a lot that the police are _ this is? i think there's quite a lot that the police are having - this is? i think there's quite a lot that the police are having to - this is? i think there's quite a lotj that the police are having to deal with at the moment and big rises in serious crimes and we've seen increases in crimes such as sexual violence, domestic abuse, fraud, and these are police recorded crimes that take up time and are complex to investigate and the police are having to target their resources in certain areas. however, this is a matter of justice, certain areas. however, this is a matter ofjustice, a matter of fixings being able to access justice and be able to get support and reassurance from the police when they report crime which is why it is important that the resources are found to ensure victims are able to have their crimes investigated and are able to receive a good service from the police. what impact does it have on someone _ from the police. what impact does it have on someone when _ from the police. what impact does it have on someone when they - from the police. what impact does it have on someone when they call - from the police. what impact does it have on someone when they call up| have on someone when they call up the police to report a crime, whether it is something relatively minor, orsomething whether it is something relatively minor, or something really serious, and they don't get a swift response? there is an example we have hear of someone at the bbc who spoke to a

mother who reported her 12—year—old son had been sexually assaulted by a man in the pub toilet but it took a week for the police to investigate and officers then accidentally white cctv footage. what impact does it have on the people affected by this? frankly that's just not good enough. something like that, the impact on victims can be really profound and particularly in serious cases like sexual offence cases, we know the majority of victims don't go to the police already so when they take the step to go to the police, they need to have a swift response and it's really important particularly in that immediate aftermath, and those hours really matter, and it can be a case of ensuring a victim's safety so in crimes like domestic abuse or stalking, it could be that someone is potentially at risk if they are not getting a swift response, but evenin not getting a swift response, but even in cases such as so—called low—level crimes, like burglary or theft or anti—social behaviour,

actually these can have a really profound impact on victims. victims can be left traumatised, homeless, in really difficult situations, and they need that reassurance and access to justice and if that is not happening, that has a profound effect and it also has a pretty serious impact on victim's confidence in the criminaljustice process and i think victims who have had a negative experience and felt justice was not done, they next time are victims of crime if they are unfortunate to have that happen again, they might want to go to the police orfeel confident again, they might want to go to the police or feel confident enough to do so and that means there are potentially more crimes that are not solved and more people potentially at risk. d0 solved and more people potentially at risk. ,, , . , at risk. do you see evidence it is happening _ at risk. do you see evidence it is happening and _ at risk. do you see evidence it is happening and it's _ at risk. do you see evidence it is happening and it's not _ at risk. do you see evidence it is happening and it's not people i happening and it's not people directly affected or have seen what happens to somebody else and it's when the stories are covered in the news and the messages are sent out. is it having an effect? i

them to be investigated and that leads to suspect being found and have the opportunity to have their crimes investigated and to have that reassurance that comes from speaking to the police that access to justice, they want to feel reassured and supported. they want to feel like they are taken seriously. they want someone to turn up if they are able to speak to someone and the aftermath of what happened and that is what needs to happen for victims of crimes. the us presidentjoe biden has promised to turn "pain into action" during a visit to the texan town of uvalde where nineteen children and two teachers were killed in america's latest mass shooting. the president and the first lady placed white roses at a memorial for the victims, before meeting families and survivors. from texas, our north america correspondent,

barbara plett usher reports. do something! the commander in chief was visiting a community in shock, devastated by loss. "do something, do something" the crowd chanted as he left a church service. "we will, we will", he responded. his only public remarks on the trip. it is the hardest visit a president has to make, especially when the victims are so young. outside the school, mr biden and his wifejill paused to recognise each of those murdered while cowering on the floor of their classroom. 19 children and two teachers. later, they met privately with the families. a bouquet of flowers added to the mound of remembrance that seeks to dampen the horror by honouring the dead. but the police response to the shooting is now under review by the justice department. the rampage began when the teenage gunman entered the school through a back door, armed with a high—powered rifle.

children as young as nine were trapped with him for an hour before security forces finally stormed in. this small community has pulled together to face an unspeakable tragedy. but the political environment is difficult. there's a fierce debate about how to stop such attacks. the president wants to tighten gun laws and faces strong partisan opposition, especially in texas. this is, after all, gun country. there are mixed feelings about mr biden's visit. i don't know if it can make any difference, actually. i think that as a nation, we'rejust very divided. but i think that in a time of crisis, itjust... it's great for leaders to show unity. we just need to grieve. we just... come here and give us hope for tomorrow. but don't tell us politically what we need to do. most of all, the families don't want their pain to be drawn into the political disputes. patricia castanon is lost in a fog of grief at the death

of her niece, annabelle. she was happy, smiley. this is how she was with me. there's no words for me to say. she was just a good person. we know that the president is coming to visit. do you think that will help? no. why do you say that? because he can't bring her back. he can't bring her back. he can't bring none of them back. and nobody can. he can't bring them back, and he's struggling to protect others. his biggest obstacle is how to prevent this from happening again. this is the second time in a month that president biden has made a visit to console a community recovering from a mass shooting. and he finds it very distressing and frustrating. and here, of course, they're facing another difficult week as they prepare to begin burying their loved ones. barbara plett usher, bbc news, uvalde, texas. the headlines on bbc news.

the price of the cheapest pasta rises by 50% and bread by 16% as new data shows how every day essentials in the uk have become more expensive. a bbc news investigation learns that police officers in england and wales 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. 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 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, where 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, 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. 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. i 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 authorities in brazil say the number of people known to have died following torrential rain has risen to at least 56. more than 50 others are still missing. officials said rescuers were using a lull in the downpours to search for survivors. emily brown reports.

a desperate search for survivors. landslides caused by heavy rain have killed dozens in the region of recife in brazil, many are still missing. translation: the search party stayed there and found - the body of my sister there at 5:45pm last night. they found her body there, and the other four bodies with her. they haven't found my brother—in—law�*s body. he is buried there, somewhere near the tracks — where those men are digging there. we think he is there, so we are waiting. nearly 4,000 people have lost their homes. this region saw more than 200 millilitres of rain falling in just 24 hours. translation: i woke up with a bang, with agony, and then, _ when i got out of the house, i found that part of my neighbour's house was destroyed. then, when the people of the community came to help, they tried to help in every way. they were digging, trying to find the bodies. then a second collapse happened —

that's when all of my neighbour's house collapsed for a second time. the family died. as the weather broke, 1,200 people continued in the search and rescue mission. it is the latest disaster in a recent series of deadly landslides and floods. brazil's rainy season downpours have, according to experts, been made worse by the cyclical cooling of the pacific ocean and by climate change. and with more heavy rain expected, it's a race against the clock for rescue workers as their search continues. emily brown, bbc news. the king ofjordan has described the queen as a beacon of light and hope ahead of her platinum jubilee. speaking to our royal correspondent, daniela relph, king abdullah i! said the queen set a high moral standard in public life and held a special place in the heart of his family.

the bond has been strong. something the current king ofjordan reflected on as we spoke about his lifelong family friend, the queen. as king, you are in a unique position to observe the rain of another monarch and i wonder how you view the queen's 70 years on the throne. i think with a lot of humility. my late father, his majesty king hossain, became a monarch of the same year as her majesty and the special relationship that they had is something we inherited and grew up is something we inherited and grew up with. but to think of what she has seen in her life and the standard she has held as a monarch is an example for all of us. so for me, i am is an example for all of us. so for me, iam honoured is an example for all of us. so for me, i am honoured to be part of that story and to have seen that special relationship between my father and

showers have been a bit more frequent further north, some of those will continue. but, again, some will slip between the showers and will stay dry all day long. lots of cloud, though. and it is going to feel rather cool for this stage in may, but when the sun comes out, it will feel quite pleasant. best of which are the channel islands, high uv levels here, but with all that cloud in place, generally low to moderate pollen. as you go through this evening and overnight, i think it is england and wales most likely to see the showers, of course, some will stay dry. probably the best bet for staying dry, parts of central and southern scotland as well as northern ireland and it is here, a pretty chilly night, you could even see a touch of frost in one or two well sheltered glens. but a bright enough start here, a few mist and fog patches. england and wales, still plenty of cloud around and it is here where we will see the bulk of the showers. some of them becoming heavy and thundery, central eastern areas especially. the north and northern ireland will see more persistent rain push in later in the day. but western parts of scotland, western fringes of england and wales, probably a dry brighter day than today and it could feel a touch warmer. temperatures lifting only a degree or so.

into wednesday, after another cool night, we will see rain push through northern ireland through the irish sea into wales and will develop into more showery conditions again. central and eastern parts most prone to that. western areas turning dry and bright and temperature starting to lift up a little bit. which sends us, of course, towards thejubilee weekend. now, it is a few days away, so exact details will change, but here's a general look at the picture. high pressure looks to dominate as we go into thursday. they'll have to watch this system through thursday, friday, just pushing its way in, could bring a bit more cloud and one or two showers before fading, and then through saturday and sunday, it is how close this area of low pressure in france gets, potentially bringing some windy and at times showery conditions toward southern parts of england and wales. but, yes, there is that chance of few showers continuing as we go through into thejubilee weekend. but, actually, for a lot of the time and for some of you, it will be completely dry. and in the brighter breaks between the cloud, it is actually going to feel quite warm in the sunshine. temperatures generally could get a few degrees higher than normalfor earlyjune. 18 to 21 degrees for some in the south and the west.

this is bbc news. i'm joanna gosling and these are the latest headlines. the price of the cheapest pasta rises by 50% and bread by 16% as new data shows exactly how every day essentials have become more expensive. the tracking of the 30 most basic items was sparked by food writer and journalist, jack monroe. she's tells the bbc it's time for a joint effort to help the most vulnerable, now that the figures are official. people now that the figures are official. are being priced o own people are being priced out of their own dinner up and down the country. the rise in the use of food banks in this country is astronomical and it is set to get worse. how are you finding the rises in basic food costs? are you coping or do you need help? we want to hear from you. you can message me on twitter. i'm @bbcjoannag or you can use

and from one royal to another — king abdullah ofjordan speaks to the bbc ahead of the queen's platinum jubilee this week, describing her majesty as a beacon of light and hope. official figures on groceries — out this morning — show the price of pasta rose by 50 % in the year to april. the office for national statistics looked at 30 basic products on 7 supermarket websites. six of them became less expensive. bread, minced beef and rice were among those that rose the fastest. jack monroe is a food campaigner and writer, she gave her reaction

to the 0ns data. it to the 0ns data. has been a collaborative effort and it has been a collaborative effort and the 0ns have been brilliant in how quickly they have implemented looking at the in the costs of very, very basic products. the figures about won't come as news to anyone actually living this because all seen the prices of food going up but for so long the official statistics have been gas lighting, telling us actually, it is not true, it is not real, and what you are experiencing is not happening so, to have that sort of pent down into official data, into official statistics, the reality for millions of people in the uk at the moment, puts us in a stronger position to campaign for things like better wages, higher operating for benefits because it is dab in black—and—white from the official start of statistics gathering, data gathering organisation that it is more expensive. organisation that it is more expensive-_ organisation that it is more exensive. , ., ., expensive. so, in terms of what it boils down — expensive. so, in terms of what it boils down to _ expensive. so, in terms of what it boils down to when _ expensive. so, in terms of what it boils down to when it _ expensive. so, in terms of what it boils down to when it comes - expensive. so, in terms of what it boils down to when it comes to i expensive. so, in terms of what it | boils down to when it comes to the cost of the daily, weekly, however often the shop is done, i know you

shoulders of those who can least afford to suffer it but also to ask mps ask businesses if, without raising benefits, increasing wages. so that the people who currently have the least in our society, who are paying disproportionately for basic products, can afford to be able to do so. the owner should not be in supermarkets to price match their past ducted poverty wages but it is sort of like a joint responsibility that everybody need to be looking after those in our society that are the most vulnerable and have the least recourse to power. and have the least recourse to ower. ~ ., ., and have the least recourse to ower. . . ., , ., ., power. what are the people who are onettin in power. what are the people who are getting in touch _ power. what are the people who are getting in touch with _ power. what are the people who are getting in touch with you _ power. what are the people who are getting in touch with you say - power. what are the people who are getting in touch with you say about i getting in touch with you say about the impact on them?— getting in touch with you say about the impact on them? well, i was at m local the impact on them? well, i was at my local food _ the impact on them? well, i was at my local food bank— the impact on them? well, i was at my local food bank a _ the impact on them? well, i was at my local food bank a few _ the impact on them? well, i was at my local food bank a few days i the impact on them? well, i was at my local food bank a few days ago | my local food bank a few days ago and i met a guy that called john and we we talked for a good half hour, 45 minutes. and john has a partner and his three children, all of his

children have special needs. before he fell ill he was an aeronautical engineer and ludicrously intelligent, delightful guide to chat to but he sat there and said that every week, when he gets his statement of what the universal credit is going to be when it comes in, they then make a list of all of their household bills, and they work out what they could not pay, like, who the least worst companies were for charges and bailiffs. and also, like, how many meals him and his partner can mess that we can order to feed their children. but that is, you know, the price of food, people are being priced out of their own dinner up and down the country. the rise in the use of food banks in this country is astronomical and it is just sent to get worse at the more expensive it gets the less donations there are two food banks as well because the people who would normally donate to food banks don't have despair in their so it is the knock—on impact, it is enormous.

our headline measures of inflation so, if you take account of the 30 items that we have in this morning's analysis, they have increased by 6% over the year. and our official measures for food components of those measures have increased by just slightly more. pond those measures have increased by just slightly more.— those measures have increased by just slightly more. and are you able to seak just slightly more. and are you able to speak to — just slightly more. and are you able to speak to the _ just slightly more. and are you able to speak to the reasons _ just slightly more. and are you able to speak to the reasons behind i to speak to the reasons behind these, because, you know, why, for instance, potatoes gone down and on the things that have got more expensive, what are the factors? we are aware of multiple factors that are aware of multiple factors that are currently pushing prices higher. it is our role as an organisation to produce the inflation statistics and disentangle what is having an impact on inflation at the moment but it is likely to be rising energy costs, that war in ukraine and russian sanctions as well but it is difficult to disentangle how much each of those practices having an impact. each of those practices having an im act. ,, ., ~ each of those practices having an imact. . . ~' ,, each of those practices having an imact. ,, ., ,, i. , each of those practices having an imact. . . ~' ,, , . thank you very much. 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 40%. 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. sport and for a full

round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's issac. it was liverpool fans with fake tickets that caused the initial problems at the champions league final, according to the french sports minister amelie 0udea—castera. it's a claim denied by many who were there including the labour mp for liverpool ian byrne. )uefa are meeting with the french government today to try to get to the bottom of what went wrong on saturday in paris. chaos before and after the match with french police repeatedly firing 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 and former uefa chief executive lars christer 0lsson is was quite clear with where he think the blame lies. my my experience from the past in similar situations is that it is normally problems with the local authorities and the organisation and the police and, in this case, i don't think anybody should blame the

fans, actually. the cost was poorly organised in paris, in general, i think. ivan perisic is set to have a medical at tottenham later today. the croatian winger has played for inter milan since 2015, but his contract expires at the end of next month and he's expected to sign a two year deal with spurs. perisic played with current spurs manager antonio conte in italy when inter won the serie a in 2021. rafa nadal will face novak djokovic in a mouthwatering quarterfinal after the spaniard beat felix auger aliassime at the french open. now actually nadal lost the opening set but roared back to win the next two. the canadian who is coached by nadal�*s uncle toni took the match to five sets, but nadal won the decided 6—3. djokovic progressed after sweeping past argentina's diego schwartzmann in straight sets. today's early action over in paris has seen daria kasatkina beat camila giorgi of italy 6—2, 6—2. that sees the russian progress through to the women's quarter—finals. later poland's world number one

iga swiatek will look to join her when she takes on zheng qinwen of china. and britain's neal skupski will begin his bid to secure a place in the mixed doubles semi—final within the next hour. emma raducanu will play on home soil for the first time since last year's us open victory next week. the 19—year—old has accepted a wild card for the rothesay 0pen in nottingham which begins next monday. she will also play in birmingham later injune as part of her build up to wimbledon at the end of th emonth. raducanu will also be joined in nottingham by british men's number one dan evans. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport the french government are holding

an emergency meeting 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 i 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 shows 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. 0ur paris correspondent hugh schofield told me what's being said by authorities in paris today.

the sports minister, newly appointed, struggling really, slightly out of her depth, i would say, said on the, there were 30 or 40,000 liverpool fans who arrived without. .. 40,000 liverpool fans who arrived without... they're mixing it up. other without tickets or with false tickets, it is not quite clear how many in each category and that was their promise. they said over again thatis their promise. they said over again that is the capacity again of the stadium but this line is becoming more and more tenuous, as you viewed the eyewitness accounts from britain but also from french journalists and french officials and representatives of clubs and so on who were there who are bearing out, really, the testimony like what we have heard and saying, no, the liverpool fans with their good and early. where is the evidence of this must take it forward and so on? so i think this line of defence is going to start looking very, very weak soon. it feels very much like the uefa and the french authorities needed to

find a quick and the explanation for what went wrong and put that out but, you know, to be fair to them, i think there is a genuine desire to find out what happened north—east because there are these big events coming up and they will need to know that if there are problems about organisation and if there are problems about youth gangs from the area taking advantage of problems in organisation to come and pillage and loot, as it seems that they did in a way that sounds absolutely horrendous, then the authorities want to get to the bottom of that sure there is no risk of a repeat. joining me now is liverpool fan philip blundell who was in the thick of it in paris on saturday night. thank you forjoining us. what happened, then? it thank you forjoining us. what happened, then?— thank you forjoining us. what happened, then? it was 'ust chaos, ouite happened, then? it was 'ust chaos, quite frankly. * happened, then? it was 'ust chaos, quite frankly. we i happened, then? it wasjust chaos, quite frankly. we walked _ happened, then? it wasjust chaos, quite frankly. we walked from i happened, then? it wasjust chaos, quite frankly. we walked from the i quite frankly. we walked from the train station which we found out on the way back was maybe a tenner a 15 minute walk and it took us over 90 minutes, some in the region of 90 minutes, some in the region of 90 minutes, two hours to get under a

motorway away to the bottom of a rump whilst it was a bottle had occurred which we believe it was for a ticket check. the ticket check then abandoned somewhere before i would say around 7pm. and then they just gradually let everybody up the mmp just gradually let everybody up the ramp at which point you thought, 0k, we are by the turnstiles now, we are ok. everything is as we would like 0k. everything is as we would like it to be and then we get to the turnstiles and we found that the turnstiles and we found that the turnstile was actually shot and that was when the problems really started. ifeel quite was when the problems really started. i feel quite lucky that i didn't manage to actually get tear gassed or assaulted or robbed or a lot of the things that people i know have actually experienced on saturday. it was frightening. i don't understand how we got into a situation where there are so many people in the majority of these people in the majority of these people were locals, that should be made clever stuff they were able to get to the ground when they shouldn't have been to the ground. this is my third of the last champions league finals that i've been to, one is in ukraine, one was

in spain and you couldn't get anywhere near the turnstile without anywhere near the turnstile without a ticket. they made it so that it was impossible. you can do it. whereas on saturday evening you're able to walk up to it and if you want to try to climb the fence and get over into the ground which a lot of, there were a of people trying to get in at the liverpool and. it is obviously not would you would expect to see. and it was just a major failing on the part of the french police, to be perfectly honest. suggest talk through, then, in terms of the timing of what you are experiencing because you said it took you 90 minutes or two hours to walk what should have been a ten or 15 minute walk. hourly had you got there because you said the turnstiles, the ticket cheque was abandoned at seven so i am serving you with a video the.— you with a video the. yeah, we left robabl , you with a video the. yeah, we left probably. we _ you with a video the. yeah, we left probably. we left — probably, we left a garden or on the train which properly takes about five minutes, we left there about 25

past six, something in that region. so that is plenty of time to get into football match, you would like to think. so there was no, the initial line was that it was people turning up late. well, people were turning up late. well, people were turning up late than they would have got anywhere because we were there in time anyway where just unable to get in. so timeframe eyes actually got into the ground at 8:57pm, having been outside the train station probably around 630. so were looking at two and half hours to get from off the train coming to the ground which was probably ten or 15 minute walk and on and on the day you would expect to do an hour. what you would expect to do an hour. what was the atmosphere? _ you would expect to do an hour. what was the atmosphere? it _ you would expect to do an hour. what was the atmosphere? it must been unbelievably frustrating. the market is to everyone's credits that everyone remained relatively calm in

the face of what was, everyone has by now seen pictures of people being rammed with tear gas by police who didn't any other solution to the problem more the tear gas. tear gas is a dispersal method and is supposed to make people walk away from the problem and when there are 25 people behind you, multiplied by the width of 50 people and that many people, you can't go backward so thatjust people, you can't go backward so that just exacerbated the people, you can't go backward so thatjust exacerbated the problem and made it much worse. it wasjust and made it much worse. it wasjust a complete shambles and i would like to think that uefa looking at this would not give any more football events to that ground that i believe thatis events to that ground that i believe that is the olympic stadium in two years' time. i think they have a lot of work to do before they can manage crowd control for that as well. you said obviously, you witnessed the tear gas and pepper spray but he did not actually experience that yourself. but looking back, now, at what you witnessed, what you know happened, what are your thoughts on

what went wrong? why was it that so many people are being funnelled into that small area to get to the ground? that small area to get to the round? ., ., , ., , ., ground? the footprint of the stadium is iuite ground? the footprint of the stadium is quite small- _ ground? the footprint of the stadium is quite small. signage _ ground? the footprint of the stadium is quite small. signage between i ground? the footprint of the stadium is quite small. signage between the l is quite small. signage between the motorway, a body of water and there's not much space around it so they were forced to use really bad access points as control. to get in. i think there was also a strike on one of the train lines and that meant another access point can be used because people are unable to actually access the ground by that way because there were no trains that probably didn't help either. and the ramp i was talking about, they decided to park police vans made it even smaller. with the police vans that would be considerably more space. it was just, everything that they could

have thought about to be a solution to the potential problem was not done for top it was like there was no sort of risk assessment of anything at all. yeah, we'lljust fail everyone under a motorway flyover which is obviously, if you've ever been staged in a crowd, in something that compact, that is actually really, really scary. because your thoughts to think about what is behind you knowing you are unable to get out in front of you. when, amazingly, this motorway flyover could have actually acted as a point where you had to show your ticket to get into the motorway flyover and that was where you can turn people away and use it as a method of crowd control, they distant to do that. i, in madrid, for example, think i should mitigate three times before i got to the turnstile today i showed sorry, on saturday showed it at the turnstile and at the turnstile only. i cannot believe how badly thought out everything was on the part of the authorities.—

everything was on the part of the authorities. ., ,, , ., , . ., authorities. thank you very much for 'oinin: us. authorities. thank you very much for joining us- no _ authorities. thank you very much for joining us. no problem. _ authorities. thank you very much for joining us. no problem. umbrellas i authorities. thank you very much for| joining us. no problem. umbrellas at the read . joining us. no problem. umbrellas at the ready. showers _ joining us. no problem. umbrellas at the ready. showers breaking - joining us. no problem. umbrellas at the ready. showers breaking out i the ready. showers breaking out widely and there won't be many places that escape some downpours. a lot of that and in cloud and little sunshine around this afternoon lights of the shower was hanging around a bit longer than you would normally imagine they do in a showery day and some of the showers again are heavy with a rumble of thunder possible, too. perhaps in some of these in central and eastern parts of england. what is a cool day, temperatures, for the most part, in the low teens today. turning drier tonight in northern ireland with clear spells. england and wales keep some showers going. some dry spells in scotland with some rain in the western isles. another rather chilly night for the time of year. lowest temperatures north—east scotland and close to freezing with a few spots here. maybe a few early sunny spells tomorrow but we do it all again the showers breaking out more widely. some of these again, heavy, thundery with hail. eastern scotland and

hello, this is bbc news. i'm joanna gosling and these are the headlines. the price of the cheapest pasta rises by 50% and bread by 16% as new data shows exactly how every day essentials have become more expensive. 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. 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 eu leaders try to agree a ban on russian oil. and from one royal to another — king abdullah ofjordan speaks to the bbc ahead of the queen's platinum jubilee this week, describing her majesty as a beacon of light and hope. president zelensky has made a rare trip beyond the ukrainian capital, kyiv, to visit his troops on the 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 srevdonyetsk — as 'indescribably difficult' for the ukrainian army. meanwhile, 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 under way 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. 0ur correspondent in kyiv — joe inwood — has been giving us the latest situation on the ground. the city that president zelensky was describing as impossibly difficult, thatis describing as impossibly difficult, that is now the focus of the russian assault and they are throwing everything at this one front. at the start of the war they decided to spread themselves rather thin, attacking on a number of friends and it did not work and failed spectacularly, in fact but now they have learned the lesson from that and they are trying to capture this area called the donbas, this eastern industrial heartland, one town, one village, one city at a time and this is the current focus. we understand the artillery barrage is so severe that they've stopped counting casualties but the ukrainians are well dug in, as they have been across the region and are putting

obvious resistance and say they are inflicting heavy casualties on the russians, so i think the thing we need to watch out for in this battle is not do the russians advance, but what price do they pay for those advances and will it be worth it for taking the city? the fighting in the region was underfor taking the city? the fighting in the region was under for years before this conflict went wider than the russian invasion earlier this year, so what is the sense about how this could go? pit so what is the sense about how this could no? �* , ., ., ., could go? at the start of the war the object _ could go? at the start of the war the object of _ could go? at the start of the war the object of the _ could go? at the start of the war the object of the russians i could go? at the start of the war the object of the russians set i the object of the russians set themselves was to take the whole country and since that did not go to plan they are focusing on this area called the donbas, and i think that is probably a more realistic objective. the question now is, if they take the donbas, matty on if and they can expand the people's republics, they can expand it to take on the whole thing and they might at that point say we have

achieved our objective and pain that is a victory and sell it as a victory to the russian people and try to stop there to create a new front line and a new calcified border between ukraine, smaller ukraine and expanded people's republics and they might think that is an ok outcome for them but i think ukrainians are not going to accept that and what we might see is them going on the counteroffensive with the new weapons, new hardware that could be a long and very difficult conflict for both sides. let's bring you some reaction from france to what happened at the champions league final in paris. trite champions league final in paris. we have been talking a lot about it this morning because of the events that happened in the run—up to the match with fans finding it extremely hard to get into the ground and there was pepper spray used and tear gas. the french interior minister is

giving a news conference and said there was massive industrial scale fraud regarding tickets for the champions league final, and they've also said over half of the 29 or 30 arrests made at the stadium on saturday concerned british citizens. we will bring you more of those comments as we get them, but we've been hearing from liverpool fans saying that their experience of what happened is at odds with what french officials have been saying in terms officials have been saying in terms of what was causing the pressure. i was just speaking to a fan, a liverpool fan a while ago, who said that a walk that should have taken 15 or 20 minutes took them 90 minutes up to two hours and they did not actually get into the ground until just not actually get into the ground untiljust before nine o'clock, and you can see there the pictures from saturday night. we will keep across the briefing and bring you more as we get it on what is being said in

paris. official figures on groceries — out this morning — show the price of pasta rose by 50 % in the year to april. the office for national statistics looked at 30 basic products on seven supermarket websites. six of them became less expensive. bread, minced beef and rice were among those that rose the fastest. let's speak with kayleigh wainwright, director of the charity uk youth thank you forjoining me and i gatherfrom your thank you forjoining me and i gather from your research what you have been looking at is the impact on kids in terms of the pressures and worries that their parents are feeling. tell us what you have been looking at. feeling. tell us what you have been lookin: at. ., , feeling. tell us what you have been lookin: at. . , , . looking at. that is exactly it. we know young _ looking at. that is exactly it. we know young people _ looking at. that is exactly it. we know young people now - looking at. that is exactly it. we know young people now have i looking at. that is exactly it. we i know young people now have access to more information on more media and press than they ever have before and actually as a result more young people are worrying about things like the cost of living and jobs than i ever did when i was the same

age, and you know, we expect more young people are the biggest worry is the cost of living crisis and we need to be asking ourselves is that is this something we want children and young people to be worried about and young people to be worried about and from my perspective, absolutely not. is and from my perspective, absolutely not. , , , and from my perspective, absolutely not. , ,, ., and from my perspective, absolutely not. , , ., ., , and from my perspective, absolutely not. , ,, ., ., not. is it because of what they are directly experiencing _ not. is it because of what they are directly experiencing in _ not. is it because of what they are directly experiencing in terms i not. is it because of what they are directly experiencing in terms of. directly experiencing in terms of living in an environment where perhaps they are being told we cannot have the heating on and we cannot have the heating on and we cannot use as much hot water as we were using and food is not as available as it was, or is it that they are picking up that sense from their parents of concern? i they are picking up that sense from their parents of concern?— their parents of concern? i think it's both of _ their parents of concern? i think it's both of those _ their parents of concern? i think it's both of those things. - their parents of concern? i think it's both of those things. the i it's both of those things. the reality of poverty and discrimination and inequality we see in communities is real and we have seen from the statistics that a high number of children are living in poverty more than ever before in this country and the reality of the

fact is that this is all around them at the touch of a button on their phones means it's difficult for them to get away from that, so the sense of that worry is a lot for young people and we know young people are facing more mental health crises than ever before and a sense of unhappiness but on the flip side, we know three quarters of young people really want to do something that makes a difference in their area, so we need to lean into that and unlock those opportunities so young people can get involved and feel connected and have something that means they can channel that rather than having the sense of worry on them. xtour the sense of worry on them. your research is _ the sense of worry on them. your research is looking _ the sense of worry on them. your research is looking at _ the sense of worry on them. your research is looking at kids - the sense of worry on them. your research is looking at kids as young as ten. it's a huge amount of responsibility under burden on very young shoulders. it responsibility under burden on very young shoulders.— young shoulders. it is, absolutely. and we have _ young shoulders. it is, absolutely. and we have to _ young shoulders. it is, absolutely. and we have to think _ young shoulders. it is, absolutely. and we have to think about - young shoulders. it is, absolutely. and we have to think about what i young shoulders. it is, absolutely. i and we have to think about what are the long—term impacts in terms of

70%, and all of that means that builders are having to put their prices up for the work that they are doing for example for the likes of you and me. let's find out what it means and we can speak to james, the managing director here, and james, you've been in business, working here for 20 odd years. how does this compare in terms of crisis and volatility to what you have seen before? , ., , g before? never seen anything like it in all my years _ before? never seen anything like it in all my years in — before? never seen anything like it in all my years in the _ before? never seen anything like it in all my years in the industry. i in all my years in the industry. price _ in all my years in the industry. price rises _ in all my years in the industry. price rises are unprecedented at the moment _ price rises are unprecedented at the moment. we have somebody working on them full—time because as it comes through— them full—time because as it comes through we — them full—time because as it comes through we need to keep the system is up to— through we need to keep the system is up to date and be able to quote people _ is up to date and be able to quote people bui— is up to date and be able to quote people but it really is that fast and volatile at the moment. when the builders you — and volatile at the moment. when the builders you sell— and volatile at the moment. when the builders you sell to _ and volatile at the moment. when the builders you sell to turn _ and volatile at the moment. when the builders you sell to turn up _ and volatile at the moment. when the builders you sell to turn up they i builders you sell to turn up they look at the prices and it may have change from one week to the next, so what do they say to you about it? they obviously want some continuity and things— they obviously want some continuity and things to firm up and we do as welt _ and things to firm up and we do as welt we _ and things to firm up and we do as well. we are all feeling that it is buoyant— well. we are all feeling that it is buoyant and it feels good and everyone is getting used to the situation — everyone is getting used to the situation we are in now and so, 0k,

family diesel car has hit £100 for the first time and drivers are being warned that worse is yet to come. this is new data from the experience, saying that the average price of a litre and diesel at uk forecourts was a record 182.7 p on saturday, i hundred and 82.6 p on sunday bringing the cost of a full tank for a 55 litre diesel car to nearly £150 —— £100 and 50 p. in petrol prices at record levels with the average price of petrol 172.1 p, rising 272.7 p on sunday and the rac fuel spokesperson has said that with crude oil prices consistently above 115 us dollars a barrel last week, worse is sadly yet to come just in time for thejubilee bank holiday as time for the jubilee bank holiday as petrol is now more expensive than diesel on the wholesale market, due

to the rapid rise in the cost of wholesale unleaded, retailers are taking smaller margins on petrol but larger ones on diesel. so that is just through as the average cost of filling a typicalfamily just through as the average cost of filling a typical family diesel car has hit £100 for the first time. the sports minister is speaking in paris about what happened in the champions league final. about what happened in the champions leaaue final. . ., . a league final. electronic ticketing, the way we _ league final. electronic ticketing, the way we prevent _ league final. electronic ticketing, the way we prevent the _ league final. electronic ticketing, the way we prevent the fraud, - league final. electronic ticketing, | the way we prevent the fraud, the way we manage the flow of people, and we want to take that extremely seriously and make light on what has happened. really, the point on the tickets is for all of us to understand and really impede that happening again. understand and really impede that happening again-— understand and really impede that hauenina aaain. ~ . ~' . happening again. when you talk about late arrivals. — happening again. when you talk about late arrivals, how— happening again. when you talk about late arrivals, how early _ happening again. when you talk about late arrivals, how early should - happening again. when you talk about late arrivals, how early should fans . late arrivals, how early should fans be there? — late arrivals, how early should fans be there? because there were long queues, _ be there? because there were long

pointed to was she said that the english fans stayed in their fan zone later than the spanish fans and i spoke to a liverpool fan earlier who pointed out that the liverpool fan zone was miles away from the stadium where is the real madrid fan zone was 200 metres away. the two fans we spoke to here in the last couple of hours both described leaving for the stadium at 6pm. one did arrive shortly after that and was already experiencing difficulties and another fan who was heading to the stadium at 615 for a walk that he thought would take 15 minutes, and it took him longer than 15 minutes when there wasn't a huge number of people trying to get their and it actually took almost two hours and he did not get inside the stadium until nine o'clock, so there's a lot of unpicking to do in

terms of what exactly happened, what theissues terms of what exactly happened, what the issues were in the sports minister also acknowledging that one of the transport lines wasn't actually running and that is something that the fans have pointed to as an issue, because they had quite a journey to make to actually get to the stadium. so we will bring you more as we get it. the longest ever wait for a premier league return is over for nottingham forest — as they are are back. it's been 23 years since top—flight football was last played on the banks of the river trent. sunday's1—0 championship play—off final victory against huddersfield town to seal promotion at wembley has left fans celebrating. our correspondent navtej johal is in nottingham. welcome to a city in the mood to celebrate. these fans have waited 23

years for this moment, but yesterday at wembley their dreams came true as nottingham forest beat huddersfield town 1—0 in the play—off final to go back up to the premier league. so long, for so many years, it seemed like that was unlikely and even the start of this season, after seven games, they had a solitary point and were bottom of the league but a change of manager transformed their fortunes and in about ten minutes' time that manager, steve cooper, and his players will be on top of that balcony parading the play—off final trophy and tens of thousands of fans here, they expect more than a0,000 here, they expect more than a0,000 here in old market square in the centre of nottingham. this is a proud footballing city and it means so much to the people here. there is a financial application, £170 million likely to come towards nottingham forest over the course of next season, known as the most lucrative match in world football, but it means so much also because of

how much football means to this city and two european cups, and several appearances at wembley in cup finals in the 80s and 90s but for so long and it has been in the doldrums for so long, but no longer, from next season they will play the likes of manchester city, liverpool, chelsea, manchester city, liverpool, chelsea, man united and even though it's raining at the moment nothing is going to dampen the spirits of these fans. . ~ going to dampen the spirits of these fans. ., ,, , ., the king ofjordan has described the queen as a beacon of light and hope ahead of her platinum jubilee. speaking to our royal correspondent, daniela relph, king abdullah ii said the queen set a high moral standard in public life and held a special place in the heart of his family. the crowded landscape of amman injordan. for generations, the bond between this country's royal family and british royalty has been strong. hello. how are you? something the current king ofjordan, abdullah ii, reflected on as we spoke about his lifelong family friend, the queen.

as king, you are in a unique position to observe the reign of another monarch. i wonder how you view the queen's 70 years on the throne. i think with a lot of humility. my late father, his majesty king hussein, became a monarch the same year as her majesty. and the special relationship that they had is something that we inherited and we grew up with. but to think of what she has seen in her life and the standard that she has, i think, held as a monarch is an example for all of us. so for me, it'sjust, i'm honoured to be part of that story, to have seen that special relationship between my father and her, between myself and her majesty and his royal highness, prince charles, and now a wonderful young man, prince william, who's a friend of my son. so this is a historical relationship that we're very, very proud of. what are the attributes that she has that have largely made her reign so successful? i think, you know, when you look

at her majesty, you look at consistency and i think putting the moral bar at the highest point possible. she has dedicated herself to the monarchy and to the people. and as we have all experienced, sometimes you say things or have to take positions that may not necessarily be popular but is the right thing. and i think that moral compass, if you look at her reign, is, i think, what has really made her shine compared to monarchies elsewhere. and as king, you know what it's like to live your life in the public eye and the challenges that brings. how difficult is that aspect of the job? the queen has had a difficult few years. how difficult is it to live life so publicly in all its challenges? immensely difficult, because you're always under the microscope. and again, i think that when you look at how her majesty has typified her role,

it's again, that moral compass of feeling, i'm here to serve the people and, you know, my life is under a microscope but i will not shy away from my responsibility as a monarch and to hold that bar as high as she has, i think it'sjust a testament of who she is. what lessons are there to be learnt from the queen's reign? if you look at 70 years of british history, you've had good days and bad days. her majesty, i think, was a beacon of light, of hope and continues to be, i believe, for your nation and for many of us around the world. and finally, can i ask you if you have a message for the queen on this platinumjubilee, such a historic moment for the uk? in our own humble way, as the son of one of her closest friends, his majesty, king hussein, i just say congratulations on just a remarkable 70 years of what you've done for your nation, for your people. i am very proud, in a small way, to have that relationship with her majesty and with your country. and our heart is always

going to have a very big and warm place for her majesty the queen. king abdullah, thank you very much for talking to the bbc. thank you. thank you. let me bring you the latest in the news conference at the conference talking about what happened at the champions league match on saturday and they say that they acknowledge they did not get everything right and some mistakes were made, but they said the root of the problem was that there was a huge amount of ticket fraud and thousands of liverpool fans trying to get to the match without tickets. we've spoken to liverpool fans here and they have said that from their perspective they were being funnelled through very small areas to try to get into the ground and there was pepper spray and tear gas used, so a lot of

poring over of exactly what happened there. the latest coming up at one o'clock with ben brown but now time for a look at the weather. mostly cloudy and showery for the rest of the day and it is quite cool out there with temperatures in the mid to low double figures and there won't be many places escaping a shower or two. won't be many places escaping a shower ortwo. northern won't be many places escaping a shower or two. northern ireland might turn drierand shower or two. northern ireland might turn drier and brighter heading into the evening and some of the heavy showers are through southern and central and eastern parts of england might come with a rumble of thunder and the chance of a bit of hail and temperatures again, mostly towards the mid to low teens. the channel islands staying dry with sunny spells. showers will continue into the evening and overnight and a spell of rain pushes in towards western parts of scotland, especially the western isles, but northern ireland becoming dry and north—east scotland, chile st and close to freezing in a few spots and there may be a touch of frost. into tomorrow there will be early sunny spells around the cloud building and showers breaking up

more widely and the heaviest one through the eastern side of england and some thundery with hail and a speu and some thundery with hail and a spell of rain pushing into northern ireland and wales and southern england, mainly dry by the end of the day.

new research shows police are taking longer to get to the scene of emergencies and that fewer crimes are being solved. forces in england and wales took an average of three minutes longer to arrive at serious offences than six years ago. i've reported it, nothing came of it, that was it. it's my kids, it's my home, everything, gone. i've got nothing at alt _ the government says it is committed to improving the speed of police responses. we'll be analysing what the figures mean. also this lunchtime... after thousands of liverpool fans were teargassed at the champions league final, the french government has blamed what it called "industrial scale ticket fraud". russian forces are advancing on the centre of the key city of severodonetsk in the eastern donbas.
