there were difficulties in the way we manage the flows. we don't want to say we did everything well. clearly not. but we say they were a number of circumstances that made it difficult. the strike in the transportation, the late arrival, also the fact that we didn't know we were not able to really locate the people when they arrived here at the stade de france. there was not a very clear journey from the fan zone to the stadium, no organised buses. and on that front, it was very different from what real madrid had organised for their own supporters. they have admitted there were problems in directing the fans to the stadium, there was a problem because one of the underground lines was down with a strike which meant that they all went through one station, which meant there was congestion here, which should have been foreseen. they admit there was

problems with policing, indiscriminate use of pepper spray which was largely caused by the fact that into the liverpool fans had come loads, hundreds of local youths who were bent on, as we have heard, pillaging and rubbing. and so the police reacted towards them and their customary way and liverpool fans were caught in the middle of it all. so, there is a certain degree of recognition that things could have been improved but what we have heard this morning is quite clearly a statement from the french government that the main problem was that sheer numbers of people arriving here without proper ticketing. and we have heard interior minister saying that they ticket fraud was on an industrial, massive scale. he said in addition to the 80,000 people who would normally have been going into the stadium, there were 30 or 40,000 others that were congregating here and that is what led to the problems. police had to open one of the barriers because otherwise he said they would have been loss of

life. if that is indeed the case, it is a sign that ticket for it is a huge problem, but there are people saying, where is the evidence that there was this level of ticket fraud? there are people that are saying it is quite convenient from the french government to be able to put the blame on foreign clubs and foreign ticketing arrangements, when there are pressing problems closer to home, perhaps. let's speak now to finn cormack. he's a liverpool fan who was at the match on saturday. tell us what you saw and experienced, in terms of what was going on in a crowd and with the police. going on in a crowd and with the olice. ., ~' ,, , going on in a crowd and with the olice. . ~ ,, , . going on in a crowd and with the olice. ., ~ ,, , . ., police. thank you very much for havin: police. thank you very much for having me- _ police. thank you very much for having me. all _ police. thank you very much for having me. all in _ police. thank you very much for having me. all in all, _ police. thank you very much for having me. all in all, it- police. thank you very much for having me. all in all, it was - having me. all in all, it was incredibly poorly organised. from the moment we stepped outside of the station, we were sort of lead from one pen to the next, with, you know, bottleneck after bottleneck. and i think the worst of it was definitely under the flyover where, i mean, you

could see there were kids, they were quite a few kids with make a wish foundation hats on and at this point, i think, foundation hats on and at this point, ithink, this foundation hats on and at this point, i think, this is when it was getting even closer to the stadium itself, and i remember seeing liverpool fans behind me turned the police, you need to stop this, look at these kids, they can't handle the situation. but they weren't really having any of it. the fans were bringing up hillsborough and the disasters around that. but still there was nothing. and eventually when we finally got up to the actual stadium complex, you could say french youths climbing up the side of the stadium, and then proceeding tojump over the fence. of the stadium, and then proceeding to jump over the fence. i of the stadium, and then proceeding tojump over the fence. i don't think there was any... i don't think they were madrid fans, they certainly weren't liverpool fans, i think they were youths that wanted to be part of the whole experience. but in a shocking thing i had seen so far are all these reports around the fake tickets because personally

i was almost turned away, and i got my ticket direct from uefa, i got my ticket through uefa mac ballot, and their ticketing system was atrocious. they asked for possible details on all of this to ensure it was partially matched to yourself. you couldn't get the ticket in advance, you had to get it within the vicinity of the stadium, and the system didn't work so i got up to the barrier with my legitimate ticket, bought from them directly, and because my qr code wouldn't show, they tried turning me away and, you know, fortunately, i managed to explain to them, you know, this is certainly legitimate. and i heard from other accounts at the same thing had happened. the fact that they then turn around that and blame, you know, black market of it, i don't think it is fair when their own system highly flawed. it their own system highly flawed. it sounds it. it sounds frightening and is if there is a lot that needs looking into. would you like to see

happen next, in terms of how everything that went wrong on saturday night is investigated? i mean, i think both the french authorities and uefa need to be held accountable. i think what is despicable is the fact that, you know, they have started planing fans for turning up late. —— planing fans for turning up late. —— planing fans for turning up late. —— planing fans for turning up late but we arrived at the stadium at 6:30pm, two hours before kick —— kick—off, when they advised arriving at least an hour hand. and, obviously, that sign came down and they replaced that by saying it was to do with the ticketing. and as i mentioned, that was also a floor on their part. it is a football stadium, it is designed to host football events, it is the national stadium, and the fact that they didn't have... there was no organisation at all, there were no queueing structures when you got to the top, half of the machines that scans your qr code weren't even

working. and on top of that, the police were, well, they didn't seem trained in the slightest. and i think the most clear example of that was actually leaving the stadium, where, you know, in light of the discipline of losing, you know, thousands of liverpool fans purred out and they were. towards a gate which at the time was no larger than average doorway, and you had a thousand people tried to crowd through this small space and eventually they opened it but even then you weren't given a choice of where to go. there was a breach which we later found out was towards the madrid fans zone, and that was guarded by may be for micro policemen in riot gear, but eventually they left allowing liverpool fans, including myself and my brother and lord knows how many families, to walk along the passage, we thought nothing of it, that is where google maps told us it was this way, and seconds later, maybe 50 or so policemen with riot gear

started running the other way, which again we didn't think much of but behind them was a mob of, i really am cautious to say madrid fans because i don't believe they were madrid fans, again, i think they were local youths, were basically running after them, and you know, i have to say it was probably one of the most scariest moments in my life where you can see ahead of you really urgent movement to get out of the way but you didn't what they were getting out of way from. it were getting out of way from. it sounds like there needs to be a big reflection on how these things are organised fans will think twice about going to some of these things. we appreciate you talking to us, i am sorry to such a troublesome night for you and the result when the other way, so we appreciate you talking to us. i other way, so we appreciate you talking to us— talking to us. i haven't even had time to think _ talking to us. i haven't even had time to think about _ talking to us. i haven't even had time to think about that. - talking to us. i haven't even had| time to think about that. almost inconsequential _ time to think about that. almost inconsequential after _ time to think about that. almost inconsequential after everything | inconsequential after everything

else. a bbc investigation suggests police forces in england and wales are taking longer to respond to serious incidents. the charity, victim support, says the new figures are " alarming" the figures, based on freedom information requests, suggest that police are now 3 minutes slower to arrive at the most urgent ermergencies than they were six years ago — that's worse by 28 per cent. (gfx) the number of recorded crimes which end up with someone being charged has fallen by 40% in the same period. the government says it is committed to improving the speed of police responses. our special correspondent ed thomas has this report. 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.

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? 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. 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. he has been repeatedly burgled. that is my son's bedroom, that. he says the police and forensic teams have not been out to visit for two of the burglaries. 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. she was sent this cctv that she could not persuade officers to help. 0ne could not persuade officers to help. one night, she followed her stolen car. she was confronted with 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. official figures on groceries — out this morning — show the price of pasta rose by fifty per cent 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. the figures that are out today won't come as news to anyone that is living this because we have all seen the prices of food go up. but for so long the officials statistics was a bit gas lighting, it was telling us,

it is not real, it is not true what you are experiencing, it is actually happening. to have that tens down into official data, official statistics, the reality for many as a people in the uk at the moment, puts us in a stronger position to campaign for the wages, higher rates for benefits, because it is there in black and white by the official statistics gathering, data gathering organisation, that it is more expensive to people. pasta had gone up expensive to people. pasta had gone up by expensive to people. pasta had gone up by 50%. some of the products had gone up by 22%. and almost all of the products had gone up in price. and these are very, very basics, the basics range in value range products, they are marginal higher than the official inflation statistics at 6% and 7% which is what is argued to cash what is used to argue for the uprating benefits. by to argue for the uprating benefits. by having figures that show the difference in normal price rises for

people who are on low incomes and low budgets is that much greater, it gives us two things to do, firstly, to help the supermarkets to account as to why they are applying price rises unequally and putting a greater burden of increasing their profit margins on the shoulders of those who can least afford to supplement it but also to ask mps and ask businesses about the uprating of benefits and the increasing wages so that the people who currently have the latest in our society who are paying disproportionately more for basic products can afford to be able to do so. ursula von der leyen has set up dealer is still possible. eu nations

reports, and there are some upsetting and graphic descriptions in her report. 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 and at that point, i realised that it was a baby boy. the couple called 999 but were advised that this wasn't an emergency. and so they placed their baby's remains in a box and went into a&e, which they say was chaos. there's no—one at this hospital who's willing to take charge of our baby. it's been in a hot room for nearly five hours now. so we decided together that i would go home. so i took the box to the entrance of the hospital and got a taxi and took him home, cleared out some space in our fridge and put him there. as harrowing as it is to talk about what happened, the couple say they're speaking out to try and ensure this doesn't happen to anyone else. a statement from lewisham and greenwich nhs trust, where laura was treated, says:

"we are deeply sorry and offer our sincerest condolences to miss brody and her partner for the tragic loss of their baby in these traumatic experiences." it goes on to say a full investigation is under way to understand where failings in care may have occurred so that any necessary changes and improvements can be made. it's beyond sad, really. it's unbearable. there should be an available cold place. there simply should be, and it should be, 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, working in starting on a bereavement centre. this site is going to -

out as one in four, one in five pregnancies end in miscarriage. because it is not logged, these sort of experiences, unless people get in touch, or unless they get in touch with charities or other organisations, we tend not to hear about them. one charity i spoke to, the miscarriage association, they said it probably is quite rare, but it will have happened more than once and that is already too many. and others have said, we have had —— heard several stories of this happening to other women and it is more common than we realise. what more common than we realise. what should happen? _ more common than we realise. what should happen? what _ more common than we realise. what should happen? what is _ more common than we realise. what should happen? what is best practice to give the best support to a woman? there are guidelines out there for all parts of the uk, and what should have happened with laura and lawrence is that their babies remains should have been taken to the mortuary that evening by a porter who was called and knew what

to do. the problem is, and there is an investigation ongoing at lewisham and greenwich nhs trust, and they are in touch with a couple as well to try and improve, make sure this doesn't happen to anybody else, but what seemed to be the case for the couple is that it was chaos, nobody knew what to do. so the guidelines, even they exist, the parent should be taken to a side room, they should be taken to a side room, they should be treated with care and respect, and also acknowledged that this horrific thing has happened to them, and for people to understand what it means to have a late miscarriage, or an early miscarriage at home, it is notjust an early miscarriage at home, it is not just that you have a an early miscarriage at home, it is notjust that you have a long period and you are in a dressing gown for a few days and then you are ok, it can really vary, and it was —— a campaign horrifying, as it was in their situation, and for clinicians to understand that and bear that in mind when they are talking with them, and really to have a much more human response, rather than worried about the paperwork, which of course is important, which is why the

other countries, but again, it really seems a lot of the time, not just from my experience, but many women and families who have been in touch with me over the course of researching this series that it is a little bit the luck of the draw. not only does it vary, you know, country to country, certainly, nhs trust to nhs trust in the uk, and hospital to hospital and shift to shift, because if you has been given a time to read through the guidelines, understand what to do, you only need that one person to see that day, right? unfortunately, that didn't happen for lawrence and laura. i feel very lucky that i didn't have an experience like that but others will have done. ~ ., , ., have done. what is the government reaction to this? _ have done. what is the government reaction to this? they _ have done. what is the government reaction to this? they were - have done. what is the government reaction to this? they were utterlyl reaction to this? they were utterly a- alled reaction to this? they were utterly appalled by _ reaction to this? they were utterly appalled by this — reaction to this? they were utterly appalled by this story. _ reaction to this? they were utterly appalled by this story. the - reaction to this? they were utterly| appalled by this story. the minister for women's health said that there are royal of obstetricians and gynaecologists guidelines coming out

norwegian gas could be re—diverted from the uk to europe. our business editor simonjack is here. tell us about the storage facility, when was it last used? it about the storage facility, when was it last used?— it last used? it was there for decades. — it last used? it was there for decades. it _ it last used? it was there for decades, it could _ it last used? it was there for decades, it could provide - it last used? it was there for. decades, it could provide about it last used? it was there for- decades, it could provide about ten days' worth to 12 days' worth of the uk gas needs, but it was mothballed in 2017. centrica, british gas, owned this plant and they said to the government, listen, the economic case for us buying cheaply in the summer to sell expensively in the winter doesn't stack up any more, because things like interconnect is from norway, liquefied gas from qatar and the us, meant the differential in price between summer and winter had kind of disappeared, so when they came to spend the £2 billion to £3 billion to extend its life, they said it is not worth it, do you want to pay for it, government? the government said no, and so it was shut down. now, the case for this of cheap gas right now, because believe it or not, we are actually turning liquefied

natural gas supplies away from the uk at the moment, because we've got lots of hubs where it can be delivered but we've got nowhere to store it. and there for the case for putting a better side now when it is nice and cheap for potential winter shortages has been re—established. and it is part of the government's plans, as you said in the introduction, to say, what happens if russia shuts off the gas to western europe? that happens western europe will be scrabbling around for supplies, in places like norway, for example, would redirect it, and then we could be in a bit of a pickle, and so wouldn't it be handy to have this 10—12days' worth storage. they are also talking about things like extending the life of coal—fired power plants due to shut down in september even extending the life of a 46—year—old nuclear power point plant in somerset, but the owners of that i spoke to today and they said it is not going to be easy, it was meant to be shut down in ten weeks, so that is getting pretty tight. you

detectives, but for working with communities as neighbourhood officers, and reducing that demand so that it never takes place in the first place. so that it never takes place in the first place-— first place. environmental groups have claimed _ first place. environmental groups have claimed that _ first place. environmental groups have claimed that dozens - first place. environmental groups have claimed that dozens of - first place. environmental groups have claimed that dozens of fires j have claimed that dozens of fires have claimed that dozens of fires have been illegally started on moorland estates with deep peat soils. the government introduced new rules on the practice last year, here is justin rules on the practice last year, here isjustin rowlatt. a huge fire burns on the upland peat soils of the north yorkshire moors. burning vegetation during autumn and winter has been a traditional part of the management of peat moorland for more than 100 years. peat is the most carbon rich of all soils, it forms in waterlogged areas from partly decomposed plant material. how deep is the peat here? let's find out. whoa! so, it's over a metre depth here. last year, the government banned fires on peat soils deeper than 40 centimetres in certain conservation

areas, describing these soils as england's national rainforests because of how much carbon they store. but these "rainforests" are still being set on fire, according to the rspb and greenpeace. the rspb said it sent to the government evidence on 79 fires it believes are in breach of the new regulations. greenpeace used satellites to detect fires in protected areas. using satellite evidence like this is a real game changer in terms of monitoring peat fires. i don't have to be on the moors, i can just come into the office and i can see within a matter of minutes where there have been fires. the campaigning organisation says it has found 51 fires it believes break the new rules. 0n the bowes estate in the yorkshire dales national park, one of the locations identified by greenpeace, the bbc found evidence of burning on deep peat.

so, we're already more than 40 centimetres, there's peat all the way. and this one is 67 centimetres deep. the bbc approached the land owner for comment but received no reply. the government didn't want to be interviewed for this report, but it confirmed it has received evidence that claims to show illegal fires. it told the bbc any cases where a breach of consent or regulation is suspected will be investigated. the moorland association, which represents the owners of moorland estatse, told the bbc it welcomed the government investigation. it said its members would co—operate fully and help with any queries. the rspb and greenpeace claim their evidence shows the current ban isn't working and say all burning on peat soils should be banned. the government told the bbc it would not be able to comment further

until any investigation into claims of illegal fires has been completed. justin rowlatt, bbc news, the yorkshire moors. the queen is currently in balmoral for a short break ahead of platinum jubilee celebrations. 0ur correspondent is near balmoral. here, they are getting ready for the jubilee festivities. this is a part of the country the queen is said to love, she is a familiar sight on royal deeside. and here, they are celebrating notjust a monarch but a neighbour. it is celebrating not 'ust a monarch but a neiuhbour. , ., ., .,, . neighbour. it is a fantastic achievement, _ neighbour. it is a fantastic achievement, and - neighbour. it is a fantastic achievement, and a - neighbour. it is a fantastic achievement, and a great| neighbour. it is a fantastic- achievement, and a great servant to the country, the amount of things she has done for the country, and the area as well. newsreel: balmoral is the only place where _ newsreel: balmoral is the only place where the _ newsreel: balmoral is the only place where the queen— newsreel: balmoral is the only place where the queen could _ newsreel: balmoral is the only place where the queen could relax- newsreel: balmoral is the only place where the queen could relax from - newsreel: balmoral is the only place where the queen could relax from her| where the queen could relax from her affairs _ where the queen could relax from her affairs of— where the queen could relax from her affairs of state... _ where the queen could relax from her affairs of state...

all the same, umbrellas at the ready, and with light winds, the showers attend to hang around a bit longer than you might expect. northern ireland will be probably turning drier and brighter this evening, for england and wales, cloud, showers, some of which could be thundery at times, the channel islands are staying mainly dry with sunny spells. and temperatures are struggling in the mid to low teens. tonight, quite often showers die away overnight, but some are going to continue tonight, and a spell of rain heading into the western isles, northern ireland becoming mainly dry, another rather chilly night, particularly towards north—east scotland there will be some spots that end up close to freezing going into tuesday morning. tomorrow, there may be a few sunny spells, particularly early and late in the day, but on the whole, showers becoming more widespread, the heavier ones from eastern scotland and the eastern side of england, some thundery, a chance of hail, some rain coming into northern ireland during the afternoon. it could be that wales and much of southern england will turn drier and saying by the evening, and temperatures may be a degree or so higher tomorrow. into the evening, the rain we are seeing in northern ireland looks like it might push into north—west and wales. further showers on wednesday for the bank holidays on thursday and friday. high pressure building in,

but there is a disturbance within that which could still produce some showers and then for the weekend, low pressure to the south may feed a few showers towards southern areas which could be thundery. but overall, things look to be settling down from thursday onwards, looking drier, though still with the possibility of catching a shower. there will be more sunshine and it is also going to be feeling warmer later this week.

the french government has blamed what it called industrial scale ticket fraud for the chaos at this weekend's champions league final. it comes after french ministers held emergency talks this morning with police and european football officials. there's been widespread condemnation of the tactics of french police, who used tear gas and pepper spray on thousands of liverpool fans as they queued for hours to get into the stadium in paris. 0ur sports correspondent nesta mcgregor reports. pandemonium in paris. fall back! fall back! some of the images which marked the biggest night in european club football. french police using tear gas and pepper spray as liverpool fans waited to enter the stadium. even with a 35 minute delay to kick

off, there were plenty of empty seats as police and stadium officials struggled to regain control. the knowledge of crowd management that i got having worked on the hillsborough inquest, i could see problems even at that stage that there was operational chaos on the ground, there were structural problems with the ground in that the entrances they were making the liverpool fans go to, you have to pass under underpass onto the motorway, but the police, operationally, were making catastrophically bad decisions. st petersburg in russia was the original venue for saturday's final but because of the countries invasion of ukraine, it was moved to paris. uefa, european football's governing body, has blamed crowd trouble on fans turning up late and claimed some had counterfeit tickets. it is the worst situation i have ever seen outside a football ground in 27 years of going to football, home and abroad. i have been to a champions league final before, i have been to a europa league final before,

i have never seen anything like that. the club has condemned the treatment of some fans who travelled to france and has demanded uefa look into what caused the trouble and how it was dealt with. uefa held an emergency committee meeting this morning with french authorities. liverpool celebrated winning the league and fa cup with a parade through the city yesterday which was a trouble—free but there are those who believe the past behaviour of british football fans abroad did play a part on saturday. there is a feeling, of course, based on history, that english fans are more difficult to handle than others and i think that has been guiding decisions and in this case, i don't think anybody should blame the fans, actually, because it was poorly organised. in france, though, there had been similar scenes this season. last night as st etienne were relegated from the french top flight, players ran for cover as fans stormed the pitch.

with paris due to host the rugby world cup next year and the olympics in 2024, french authorities have questions to answer. nesta mcgregor, bbc news, liverpool. the french sports minister amelie 0udea—castera held a press conference this afternoon. she said fake tickets caused big problems, as did a number of other factors. there were difficulties in the way we manage the flows. we don't want to say we did everything well. clearly not. but we say they were a number of circumstances that made it difficult. the strike in the transportation, the late arrival, also the fact that we didn't know we were not able to really locate the people when they arrived here at the stade de france. there was not a very clear journey from the fan zone to the stadium, no organised buses. and on that front, it was very different from what real madrid had organised for their own supporters.

earlier, i spoke with our paris correspondent hugh schofield, i asked him if the french authorities and police are taking responsibility. they are admitting that there were problems in directing fans to the stadium behind me here from down below there which is where they arrived at the station. there was a problem because one of the underground alliance was down because of the strike which meant they all went through one station which meant there was condition hair which meant there was condition hair which should have been forcing. they admit there was a problem with policing, indiscriminate use of pepper spray that was largely caused by the fact that into the liverpool fans had come hundreds of local youths who were bent on pillaging and robbing and so the police reacted towards them in their customary way and the liverpool fans were caught in the middle of it all. there is a certain degree of

recognition that things could have been improved but what we have heard this morning is quite clearly a statement from the french government that the main problem with the sheer number of people arriving here without proper ticketing. and we have heard the interior minister saying that the ticket fraud was on an industrial, massive scale. he said in addition to the 80,000 people who would normally have been going into the stadium, there were 30 or 40,000 others congregating here and that is what led to the problem. the police had to open the barriers because otherwise, he said, there would have been loss of life. there are people who are saying, well, where is the evidence that there was this level of ticket fraud? there are people saying it is quite convenient for the french government to be able to put the blame on foreign club and foreign ticket arrangements than when they are more pressing problems closer to

to improving the speed of police responses. our special correspondent ed thomas has this report. 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. police are solving fewer recorded crimes. they are taking longer to respond. leaving the public losing faith. do you have confident in the police coming out?— you have confident in the police cominu out? , ., , ., , coming out? they come out six hours later when they _ coming out? they come out six hours later when they have _ coming out? they come out six hours later when they have all— coming out? they come out six hours later when they have 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? 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. 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 after this beating, life got worse. this is the state they've left my house, the windows smashed. he has been repeatedly burgled. he says the police and forensic teams have not been out to visit for two of the burglaries. 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. desperate, michelle turned to facebook to find her stolen car. she was sent this cctv that she could not persuade officers to help. one night, she followed her stolen car. she was confronted with 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 and that the public should be confident that forces will prevent crime. joining me now to discuss the issue further is donna jones,

the national lead for victims at the association of police and crime commissioners. when members of the public see these figures, how confident can they be in their local police force?- in their local police force? well, i think it is a _ in their local police force? well, i think it is a really _ in their local police force? well, i think it is a really interesting i think it is a really interesting report that has come out today and i do very much welcome it, both as a police and crime commissioner and also for victims. i think that the public need to still remain confident in policing services but they need to understand that policing is going through quite a significantjourney so policing is going through quite a significant journey so they policing is going through quite a significantjourney so they have been a number of police officer reductions over the last ten years and that has meant police forces have had to categorise the way that they respond to those 999 calls. if somebody is being assaulted right now or a car is being assaulted right now, that will be categorised as a category one but if that car has been stolen and the assailant has been stolen and the assailant has fed the same, that will be a

category two, not category one. what the public clearly expect is that they want the police to come straightaway, even at the assault has happened and the person has left the seine, they expect a much quicker response time and they want the police to be categorising... happening right now. the police to be categorising. .. happening right now.— the police to be categorising. .. happening right now. sorry, we lost ou. you happening right now. sorry, we lost you- you talk _ happening right now. sorry, we lost you. you talk about _ happening right now. sorry, we lost you. you talk about the _ happening right now. sorry, we lost you. you talk about the police i happening right now. sorry, we lost you. you talk about the police force | you. you talk about the police force going on a journey but what you are talking about his extraordinary cuts over many, many years and a service which isn't properly staffed. i think that is a fair comment, yes. it is acknowledged universally that the funding of police did go to low and that is why very much welcome the government's uplift programme, those 20,000 extra police officers that are being recruited right now, i think we are at over 15,000 already in the remaining 5000 will be recruited by march of next year.

this will help enormously, it will mean police forces have the right level of staff on duty at any one time to be able to respond to those schools much quicker. it is heartbreaking to hear some of the story that we have just heard and for me making sure that 999 calls, category one and category two, 999 because i responded to as quickly as possible, underten because i responded to as quickly as possible, under ten minutes would be made personal target in my own force, even at the home office target is 15 minutes in urban areas, i would like to see that much, much quicker. the public do pay taxes, they pay for a police service and they pay for a police service and they expect it to be the very best it possibly can be. the they expect it to be the very best it possibly can be.— they expect it to be the very best it possibly can be. the number of recorded crimes _ it possibly can be. the number of recorded crimes that _ it possibly can be. the number of recorded crimes that ended i it possibly can be. the number of recorded crimes that ended up i it possibly can be. the number of l recorded crimes that ended up with someone charged has fallen by 40% we are told in the last six years, but it was already pretty dismal for certain categories of time —— crime six years ago. so we need to know where we have started and where we are ending up over the last six

years i don't feel we have properly explained that, can you enlighten us? , . ., explained that, can you enlighten us? , ._ ., ., us? yes i can, actually. crime data inteuri us? yes i can, actually. crime data integrity was _ us? yes i can, actually. crime data integrity was brought _ us? yes i can, actually. crime data integrity was brought in _ us? yes i can, actually. crime data integrity was brought in three i us? yes i can, actually. crime data integrity was brought in three or. integrity was brought in three or four years ago, so this will explain part of the situation and that is where if, for example, there has been a domestic abuse situation and somebody has been assaulted in the last hour, when the police turn up, if when they are speaking to the victim, if they ask them have their been any other offences of a similar nature and the victim tells them of four or five other incidents of the last four or five years, the police are now duty—bound to report those, evenif are now duty—bound to report those, even if the victim says i don't want to do anything about it, i am just telling you for context, or whether it is perhaps no evidence to support those other crimes, so that is why there appeared to be a spike in the number of crimes reported in the uk over the last few years, that is because of the requirement of crime data integrity. the number of the crimes reported going on to a formal

charge and or a summons to court has been going down over the last six or seven years. but in part is down to the crime data integrity but it is also down to people reporting more, they don't necessarily want anything done about it but i am just telling that this find that i have seen happen. 0ften, that this find that i have seen happen. often, we that this find that i have seen happen. 0ften, wejust get information, it is so important that police know what is going on in communities so they can make sure that neighbourhood policing teams are going to the right parts of areas and communities but that is certainly one of the reasons. but the charge rates are now on their way back up. from march 2021, the numbers are back up and better than they were in the two previous years. that is very helpful, donna jones, we appreciate you talking to us today. thank you. official figures on groceries show the price of pasta rose by fifty per cent 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. colletta smith is our consumer affairs correspondent. this won't come as any surprise to a lot of people who go shopping each week and seejust lot of people who go shopping each week and see just how expensive it has become. week and see 'ust how expensive it has become.— has become. exactly. there is nothina has become. exactly. there is nothing surprising _ has become. exactly. there is nothing surprising in - has become. exactly. there is nothing surprising in this i has become. exactly. there is| nothing surprising in this data. has become. exactly. there is i nothing surprising in this data. for most of us who are doing our shopping regularly and seeing those prices go up and up and up. i suppose the biggest surprise is that some of those items have fallen because many of us have not fully in that —— most of us have not been feeling that. the 0ns, the office of national statistics, do the inflation figures every month, they take a general basket of goods, they look at food prices within that, they also include energy, and various other big spends that we have as households, but when it comes to that particular food basket of goods, there was real criticism of goods, there was real criticism of them by the food poverty

campaignerjack munro that actually they didn't take into account that so many people are just buying the budget and, so the supermarket own brands, the very basic and, across a lot of supermarkets and shops, and that the 0ns basket was actually looking at much more expensive items, posh items that lots of people, itjust wasn't in the price in the first place. responding to that criticism, the 0ns have said we will look at the 30 items that are just based on that budget supermarket brand, so they have done it across a range of different supermarkets i looked at those 30 items and found that actually the information on those items, the amount overall that it has increased by, is pretty much in line with overall inflation, so that criticism wasn't necessarilyjustified of the ons wasn't necessarilyjustified of the 0ns there, they say yet, it is pretty much in line with everything else, but what is grabbing the headlines is that some of those items that have gone up by so much so when you drill down into the individual things, as you say, it

don't go anywhere extravagant, we are having to cut back things for the kids as well, things like clubs and going out and things like that, so it is really hard because we feel like we should been a better place than we are at, and we feel like we have stepped back a little bit, a family. have stepped back a little bit, a famil . ., ., i. have stepped back a little bit, a famil . ., ., , ., ., family. how do you explain it to our family. how do you explain it to your children? _ family. how do you explain it to your children? it _ family. how do you explain it to your children? it is _ family. how do you explain it to your children? it is difficult. i family. how do you explain it to | your children? it is difficult. the ouncest your children? it is difficult. the youngest one — your children? it is difficult. the youngest one is _ your children? it is difficult. the youngest one is harder- your children? it is difficult. the youngest one is harder because | your children? it is difficult. the | youngest one is harder because it didn't really understand and i suppose it is sad that the little —— the elder to do understand. the girls are 15 and 12 and they have a good understanding of what is going on, which is sad in itself, that they are having to understand this. they are really good but they do offer to not have things or do not do things, and it is a little bit heartbreaking, to be honest. yeah, it must be, — heartbreaking, to be honest. yeah, it must be, because _ heartbreaking, to be honest. yeah, it must be, because you _ heartbreaking, to be honest. yeah, it must be, because you want i heartbreaking, to be honest. yeah, it must be, because you want to i heartbreaking, to be honest. yeah, | it must be, because you want to give them everything that they want or as much as you think they should have. what about the help, then, that is coming from the government? we have been told recently that the latest

the former attorney general, jeremy wright, attacked what he called the "contemptuous attitude" shown by people in downing street. and thew mp for carshalton and wallington, elliot colburn has also submitted a letter calling for a vote of no confidence against prime minister boris johnson. 54 letters are required to trigger a no confidence vote. the number of mps who have publicly called for the prime minister to quit now sex at 26 and ten of those have come out since the publication of the sue gray report. —— it now sits at 26. the number is kicking up, it is still ticking up fairly slowly but it is worth noting watch some of these mps are saying, and in particularjeremy wright, as you say, a former attorney general. he has published a 2000 plus word statement in which he says he has carefully considered his position before coming to the conclusion that the prominence it does need to go. he talks about this allegation that the prime minister might have liberally misled parliament with some of his early statements about

parties in downing street. the prime minister is investigation —— facing an investigation into that and for a lot of conservative mps, that is potentially the most serious charge the prime minister faces. jeremy wright says that on the evidence thatis wright says that on the evidence that is currently available he didn't think the prime minister deliberately misled parliament but he talks about leaders having to take ownership for the culture of the organisations they lead, he talks about a casual contempt shall attitude and he talks about corrosion and he talks about lasting damage to the reputation, notjust in this government but to the institutions and authorities of government more generally. and i think that is where a lot of mps are thinking at the moment, they are thinking at the moment, they are thinking that looking at what happened during the parties and gatherings themselves and saying what lasting damage has this done and that is what is driving a lot of conclusions for them, so still a very gradual ticking up at the numbers, we don't know how many letters of no confidence have been submitted, only one person knows

police's response deeply concerning. the french sports minister says fans who inadvertently bought fake tickets would be compensated and added that local youths trying to force their way into the stud to france made things worse. there were difficulties in — france made things worse. there were difficulties in the _ france made things worse. there were difficulties in the way _ france made things worse. there were difficulties in the way we _ france made things worse. there were difficulties in the way we managed i difficulties in the way we managed the flo's, we don't want to say we did everything well. clearly not. but we say there were a number of circumstances which made it difficult, the strike in the transportation, the late arrival, also the fact that we were not able to really locate the people do when they arrived at the stud difference, there was not a clearjourney from there was not a clearjourney from the fan zone to the stadium, no organised buses, and on that front it was a very different from what real madrid organised for their own supporters. this real madrid organised for their own su orters. , , , , ., supporters. this is the biggest game in euro ean supporters. this is the biggest game in european football, _ supporters. this is the biggest game in european football, it _

and his partner desirae krawchich have been knocked out of the mixed doubles. they took the first set against ulrikke eikeri and joran vliegen but skupski and krawchich were unable to take the second set tie breaker and were beaten 10—8 in the final set. earlier, daria kasatkina took on camila giorgi in the women's fourth round. the russian made light work of her italian opponent winning this one with ease 6—2, 6—2, which sees her progress to the quarterfinals. later, poland's world number one iga swiatek will look to join her when she takes on zheng qinwen of china. that's all the sport for now. ukraine says russian forces are closing in on the centre of the strategic city of sievierodonetsk. ukrainian authorities say 90 per cent of its buildings have been damaged and they've given up counting casualties. seizing the city is a key russian objective as they try to capture the entire eastern region of luhansk in the donbas, but ukrainian forces are mounting stiff resistance — as our correspondent joe inwood reports from kyiv. right across the donbas, they watch and wait.

ukraine's forces know the russians are coming. this old industrial region has been battered by their artillery. trenches are the best defence. despite the pressures, the men here say they are in no mood to compromise. translation: a negotiated settlement can only happen | on ukrainian terms, and at present, if it happened, it would be a horror. it would be the end of the president's career, and of them all, because people went to defend ukraine, not for zelensky, but for ukraine. but ukraine's president remains a popularfigure with broad support for the way he's led this country through the darkest days of this war. until now, he'd spent the entirety of it here in the capital, kyiv. yesterday, that changed as he visited kharkiv. until a few weeks ago, ukraine's second city was a frontline.

the fact that it is now deemed safe for the president to visit shows how far the war has changed in this part of the country. but in the donbas, things are still looking difficult for ukraine, specifically around the city of severodonetsk, where russian troops are said to be pushing towards the centre. translation: we are doing everything to . repel this offensive. there was not a day that we did not try to find more weapons, more modern weapons, to defend our land, to defend our people, and i'm grateful to everyone who defends severoonetsk and demonstrates to the occupiers who defends severodonetsk and demonstrates to the occupiers that peace will still be ours. but it seems unlikely that peace will be coming any time soon. severodonetsk is all but surrounded, coming under such heavy bombardment they've stopped counting the casualties. like many battles before it, the fight for this city is not simply a question of who holds it when the guns have stopped, but what price they have paid for their victory. joe inwood, bbc news, kyiv.

european commission president ursula von der leyen says the eu sanctions deal is not there yet. speaking as she arrived for the european council she said she had low expections for a deal in the next 48 hours but said she was confident a deal was still possible. eu nations had hoped to strike a deal before the leaders' summit. hungary is being seen as the main obstacle to agreement. speaking after the european council meeting in brussels, hungarian prime minister viktor orban says no compromise has been reached on the russian oil embargo at all. i have just got the text now and the agreement, of course. the problem is, you know, we are in a very difficult situation. basically because of the irresponsible behaviour of the commission after the verified consensus, we agreed that there would not

be any suggestion made by the commission on energy, which is not properly negotiated with the member states. and now out of the blue we have the idea of an embargo and sanctions on oil. without answering the questions which related to the hungarian energy supply security. so, the whole situation we are in is a difficult one, created by the commission, and the responsibility of not having agreement today must be an will be on the shoulders of the commission. the hungarian position is very simple. because energy is a serious issue, it is not... it's not a kids' game. the government is exploring re—opening a giant gas storage facility off the coast of yorkshire as part of contingency plans in case european gas supplies from russia are cut off or boycotted. the talks over storage are part of plans for a "reasonable worst case scenario" in which russia cuts off all gas supplies to europe

resulting in norwegian gas supplies being redirected from the uk to europe. government sources give those two outcomes a low probability. here's our business editor simonjack. it was there for decades, it could provide about 10—12% of uk gas needs but it was in 2017, central to centrica said to the government, the economic case for us buying cheaply in the summer to sell expensively in the winter doesn't stack up anymore because things like interconnection from norway, liquefied gas qatar and the us meant differential in price summer and winter had kind of disappeared so when they came to have to spend the £2 billion to £3 billion to extend its life, they said it is not worth it for us, do you want to pay for it, government? the government said no, and so it shut down. the case for this of cheap gas right now, because believe

it or not we are actually turning liquefied natural gas supplies away from the uk at the moment because we've got lots of herbs where it can be delivered but we've got nowhere to store it, and there, the case for putting a bit aside now when it is nice and cheap, for potential winter shortage, has been re—established, and it is part of the government's plans to say, what happens if russia shuts off the gas to western europe, and if that happens, western europe will be scrubbing around for supplies, so places like norway, where we get some of our gas from, will redirect it elsewhere and then we could being a bit of a pickle and so wouldn't it be handy to have this 10-12 so wouldn't it be handy to have this 10—12 days' worth of gas storage there? they are also talking about extending the life of coal—fired power plants due to shut down later this year and even extending the life of a 46—year—old nuclear power plant in somerset, hinkley beer, but the owners of that i spoke to today said it would not be easy, it was meant to be shut down in ten weeks

so this is getting pretty tight. it is not easy to just do a so this is getting pretty tight. it is not easy tojust do a u—turn on is not easy to just do a u—turn on things like that? is not easy to just do a u-turn on things like that?— things like that? particularly on somethina things like that? particularly on something like _ things like that? particularly on something like nuclear, - things like that? particularly on something like nuclear, there l things like that? particularly on l something like nuclear, there are things like that? particularly on - something like nuclear, there are a lot of things which have to go into this, they've got to go to the regulator, and make the business case, saying we think this is worth doing, and then of course there are safety implications with something like nuclear which don't exist for coal. so quite a lot of work has to go into it but the fact that all of those discussions are ongoing think just gives you an idea of the fact that they feel it is a bit squeaky going into this winter but we just don't know what the gas supply situation could be. warnings you may have seen in the times about blackouts, the government saying we do not expect this to happen and we do not expect this to happen and we do not expect russia to shut off all gas western europe, or norway, to the uk, but sensibly we are in a position where you have got to have contingency plans to make sure the lights stay on this winter. a london hospital has apologised

after a woman who suffered a late miscarriage had to keep the remains of her baby in a fridge at home, of her baby in a fridge at home because nhs staff said they couldn't store them safely. miscarriage support groups say that care across the country varies widely, and hospitals need to prioritise staff training. the bbc�*s global health correspondent tulip mazumdar reports, and there are some upsetting and graphic descriptions in her report. there's a sprig of leaves that we took from our garden. and then the 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, put it in the sink, realised 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. and 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, 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 and 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 somewhere where pregnancy remains of these tiny little babies can be safely and respectfully and carefully stored. the importance of pregnancy loss care is increasingly

being recognised. here at birmingham women's hospital, work is starting on a first of its kind in the uk bereavement centre. 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. . 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 tulip mazumdar�*s report,

you can find links for support and help at bbc.co.uk/actionline. 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". the headlines on bbc news... france insists fake tickets were sold to liverpool fans on an "industrial scale" for saturday's champions league final, but accepts some resposibility for how fans were treated. 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. 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.

environmental groups have claimed that dozens of fires have been illegally started on moorland estates with deep peat soils. the government introduced new rules on the practice in england last year. here's our climate editor, justin rowlatt. a huge fire burns on the upland peat soils of the north yorkshire moors. burning vegetation during autumn and winter has been a traditional part of the management of peat moorland for more than 100 years. peat is the most carbon rich of all soils. it forms in waterlogged areas from partly decomposed plant material. how deep is the peat here? let's find out. yeah, let's find out. whoa! so it's over a metre depth here. last year, the government banned fires on peat soils deeper than a0 centimetres in certain conservation areas, describing these soils

as "england's national rainforests" because of how much carbon they store. but these "rainforests" are still being set on fire, according to the rspb and greenpeace. the rspb says it has sent the government evidence on 79 fires it believes are in breach of the new regulations. greenpeace has been using a more high—tech approach. using satellite evidence like this is a real game changer in terms of monitoring peat fires. i don't have to be on the moors. i canjust come into the office and i can see within a matter of minutes where there have been fires. on the bowes estate in the yorkshire dales national the bbc found evidence of burning on

deep peat. this one is a 67 centimetres deep. there's peat all the way. and this one's 67 centimetres deep. the bbc approached the landowner for comment, but received no reply. the government didn't want to be interviewed for this report, but it confirmed it has received evidence that claims to show illegal fires. it told the bbc any cases where a breach of consent or regulation is suspected will be investigated. the moorland association, which represents the owners of moorland estates, told the bbc it welcomed the government inquiry. the government investigation. it said its members would cooperate fully and help with any queries. in the meantime, a spokesperson said they would continue to follow best practice guidelines. the moorland association has always argued that careful burning can bring environmental benefits. it says moorland vegetation recovers within three years

the government told the bbc it would not be able to comment further until any investigation into claims of illegal fires has been completed. justin rowlatt, bbc news, the yorkshire moors. the queen is currently in balmoral for a short break ahead of the platinum jubilee celebrations. our scotland correspondent lorna gordan has been chatting with locals who live in the village nearby, about their thoughts and memories of the queen. in ballater, they are getting ready for the jubilee festivities. good afternoon, ma'am. this is a part of the country the queen is said to love. she's a familiar sight on royal deeside. and here, they're celebrating notjust a monarch, but a neighbour. oh, it's a fantastic achievement. wow! and a great servant to the country and the amount of things she has done for this country and the area, as well. archive: balmoral has been almost the only place - where the queen could relax from affairs of state. her time here is an opportunity to step back from some of the formality of royal life and to take an active role in the community her family has been part of for generations.

she is a regular at the local kirk and fete. there was one occasion when somebody said to me, "oh, i made a little mistake with the queen today, i spoke to her in doric." and i said, "what did you say?" "i asked, �*foos yer mither?”' the queen replied in doric, apparently, and said, "nae bad, foos yer own?" it was another exchange at this kirk that made headlines in what some interpreted as an intervention on the country's future. it was here shortly before the referendum on scottish independence that the queen told a well—wisher that she hoped voters would think very carefully about the future. it's very odd for her to go anywhere near political issues and so i was slightly surprised about it, but it didn't cross a red line. scots, polls suggest, are less keen on the monarchy than in other parts of the uk, but many feel real fondness for the queen herself. if i read the scottish people correctly, they are impressed by a person like that who does her duty comprehensively, has lived

through the greatest set of changes probably in the history of the union since 1707, and is still highly, highly respected. nowhere more so than here... i'll give you just the two bars before. ..at rehearsals for ballater�*sjubilee service. i used to work for her years ago, so she's very special to me and we're so happy to be able to do something for her this year. i would just like to wish her a very, very happyjubilee l celebration and know that j everyone in royal deeside sends their best wishes to her. # congratulations...# celebrating her relationship with this area, with scotland, and her 70 years of service. lorna gordon, bbc news, ballater. english heritage has projected eight

portraits of the queen on to the stones at stonehenge, each one representing a different decade of the queen's reign. the images include one of her riding and one of her with one of her favourite corgi dogs. a 36—year—old man disguised as an old lady in a wheelchair has been arrested after he smeared a glass screen encasing the mona lisa with cake. the incident is thought to be a protest against artists not focusing enough on climate change. officials at the louvre museum in paris, where the famous da vinci work resides, have so far declined to comment, but an inquiry has been opened. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick miller.

hello, may, meteorologicalspring, going out on a rather cool and showering out, not much in the way of sunshine on offer for the next couple of days. there is plenty of cloud around, which is threatening and at times delivering showers, some of which are going to be quite heavy, though it is not going to be raining all the time. with the talk of showers, as you might imagine, it is low pressure sitting over the uk, not the deepest, strongest area of low pressure, but low pressure all the same, which means cloud and showers. few places escaping as the day goes on, and for many, more of the day is going to be dry rather than wet. all the same, umbrellas at the ready, and with light winds, the showers tending to hang around a bit longer than you might expect. northern ireland will be probably turning drier and brighter this evening, for england and wales, cloud, showers, some of which could be thundery at times, the channel islands are staying mainly dry with sunny spells. and temperatures are struggling in the mid to low teens. tonight, quite often showers die away overnight, but some are going to continue tonight, and a spell of rain heading into the western isles, northern ireland becoming mainly dry, another rather chilly night, particularly towards north—east scotland there will be some spots that end up close to freezing

going into tuesday morning. tomorrow, there may be a few sunny spells, particularly early and late in the day, but on the whole, showers becoming more widespread, the heavier ones from eastern scotland and the eastern side of england, some thundery, a chance of hail, some rain coming into northern ireland during the afternoon. it could be that wales and much of southern england will turn drier and saying by the evening, and temperatures may be a degree or so higher tomorrow. into the evening, the rain we are seeing in northern ireland looks like it might push into north—west and wales. further showers on wednesday for the bank holidays on thursday and friday. high pressure building in, but there is a disturbance within that which could still produce some showers and then for the weekend, low pressure to the south may feed a few showers towards southern areas which could be thundery. but overall, things look to be settling down from thursday onwards, looking drier, though still with the possibility of catching a shower. there will be more sunshine and it is also going to be feeling warmer later this week.

good afternoon. the french government has blamed what it called industrial scale ticket fraud for the chaos at this weekend's champions league final. it comes after french ministers held emergency talks this morning with police and european football officials. there's been widespread condemnation of the tactics of french police, who used tear gas and pepper spray on thousands of liverpool fans as they queued for hours to get into the stadium in paris. our sports correspondent nesta mcgregor reports. pandemonium in paris. fall back! fall back! some of the images which marked the biggest night in european club football. french police using tear gas and pepper spray as liverpool fans waited to enter the stadium. even with a 35—minute delay to kick off, there were plenty of empty seats as police and stadium officials struggled to regain control.

the knowledge of crowd management that i got having worked on the hillsborough inquest, i could see problems even at that stage that there was operational chaos on the ground, there were structural problems with the ground in that the entrances they were making the liverpool fans go to, you have to pass under underpass onto the motorway, but the police, operationally, were making catastrophically bad decisions. st petersburg in russia was the original venue for saturday's final but because of the countries invasion of ukraine, it was moved to paris. uefa, european football's governing body, has blamed crowd trouble on fans turning up late and claimed some had counterfeit tickets. it is the worst situation i have ever seen outside a football ground in 27 years of going to football, home and abroad. i have been to a champions league final before, i have been to a europa league final before, i have never seen anything like that. the club has condemned the treatment of some fans who travelled to france and has demanded uefa look

into what caused the trouble and how it was dealt with. uefa held an emergency committee meeting this morning with french authorities. liverpool celebrated winning the league and fa cup with a parade through the city yesterday which was a trouble—free but there are those who believe the past behaviour of british football fans abroad did play a part on saturday. there is a feeling, of course, based on history, that english fans are more difficult to handle than others and i think that has been guiding decisions and in this case, i don't think anybody should blame the fans, actually, because it was poorly organised. in france, though, there had been similar scenes this season. last night as st etienne were relegated from the french top flight, players ran for cover as fans stormed the pitch. with paris due to host the rugby world cup next year and the olympics in 2024,

french authorities have questions to answer. nesta mcgregor, bbc news, liverpool. the french sports minister amelie oudea—castera held a press conference this afternoon. she said fake tickets caused big problems, as did a number of other factors. there were difficulties in the way we manage the flows. we don't want to say we did everything well. clearly not. but we say they were a number of circumstances that made it difficult. the strike in the transportation, the late arrival, also the fact that we didn't know we were not able to really locate the people when they arrived here at the stade de france. there was not a very clear journey from the fan zone to the stadium, no organised buses. and on that front, it was very different from what real madrid had organised for their own supporters. ealeer, i spoke with our

paris correspondent hugh schofield, i asked him if the french authorities and police are taking responsibility... they are admitting that there were problems in directing fans to the stadium behind me here from down below there which is where they arrived at the station. there was a problem because one of the underground lines was down with a strike which meant they all went through one station which meant there was congestion here which should have been forseen. they admit there was a problem with policing, indiscriminate use of pepper spray that was largely caused by the fact that into the liverpool fans had come hundreds of local youths who were bent on pillaging and robbing and so the police reacted towards them in their customary way and the liverpool fans were caught in the middle of it all. there is a certain degree of recognition that things could have been improved but what we have heard this morning is quite clearly a statement from the french government that the main problem was the sheer

number of people arriving here without proper ticketing. and we have heard the interior minister saying that the ticket fraud was on an industrial, massive scale. he said that in addition to the 80,000 people who would normally have been going into the stadium, there were 30 or 40,000 others congregating here and that is what led to the problems. the police had to open one of the barriers because otherwise, he said, there would have been loss of life. now, if that is all that case, then it is indeed a sign that ticket fraud is a huge problem but there are people who are saying, well, where is the evidence that there was this level of ticket fraud? there are people saying it is quite convenient for the french government to be able to put the blame on a foreign club and on foreign ticketing arrangements when there are more pressing problems closer to home perhaps. joining me now is chief football writer at the times, henry winter.

henry, i believe that you felt some of the effects of what the police were doing in paris on saturday night, could explain.— night, could explain. yes, it is interesting — night, could explain. yes, it is interesting listening _ night, could explain. yes, it is interesting listening to - night, could explain. yes, it is interesting listening to all - night, could explain. yes, it is| interesting listening to all your reports on the fact that the french government are clearly facing a pr disaster. it is such a pity because it is a great city, great country, but look at the behaviour of the french police, and we all understand they have had issues with english fans internationally and one or two club issues in the past but they were completely unyielding, a total lack of sophistication. they may have modern technology but their techniques and their mindsets were basically outdated. and if they can detect fake tickets by tear gassing ten—year—olds and fans in wheelchairs before they have even got their tickets and haven't gone anywhere near a gate, then that is, well, it is at div element in police

technology. it is embarrassing. their maths is ridiculous. we were listening to the interior minister and the sports minister earlier. if there were 40,000 ticketless fans or with fakes, that is an absolute nonsense, that is almost the size of anfield. it nonsense, that is almost the size of anfield. , . , anfield. it is a helpful distraction, _ anfield. it is a helpful distraction, i- anfield. it is a helpful| distraction, i suppose, anfield. it is a helpful- distraction, i suppose, but they anfield. it is a helpful— distraction, i suppose, but they may be some truth in it but we don't know, it is early days. what is your view of how liverpool fans were portrayed in the night by those early reports, in terms of behaviour? it is very easy to blame football fans when the organisation leaves a lot to be desired. i football fans when the organisation leaves a lot to be desired.— leaves a lot to be desired. i don't think anyone _ leaves a lot to be desired. i don't think anyone was _ leaves a lot to be desired. i don't think anyone was blaming - leaves a lot to be desired. i don't think anyone was blaming the - think anyone was blaming the liverpool fans.— think anyone was blaming the liverool fans. , ., , ., ~ liverpoolfans. henry, iwas working that niuht liverpoolfans. henry, iwas working that night and _ liverpoolfans. henry, iwas working that night and some _ liverpoolfans. henry, iwas working that night and some of _ liverpoolfans. henry, iwas working that night and some of the - liverpoolfans. henry, iwas working that night and some of the reports l that night and some of the reports were suggesting that some of the problems were to do with fans behaviour but that has not been substantiated. ihla. behaviour but that has not been substantiated.— behaviour but that has not been substantiated. no, it hasn't. the atients substantiated. no, it hasn't. the patients at— substantiated. no, it hasn't. the patients at the _ substantiated. no, it hasn't. the patients at the liverpool - substantiated. no, it hasn't. the patients at the liverpool fans - patients at the liverpool fans certainly down by the fence that

isil and entering into the grounds, going through that underpass, which you always have to pass through to the ground, i have never seen that before, the french, the crs, the riot police putting two vans in the way so it created these pinch points, which was a problem for not only liverpool fans but the real madrid fans. it was a very dangerous thing to do. i spend my whole life going to games abroad and we can't take the moral high ground too much with what happened at wembley, with a storming at wembley at the euro 2020 final. maybe there was an element of that in the french police thinking but this was a complete failure of their thinking, of their leadership, the stewarding on the ground, the french football federation and the french state, and it was embarrassing. it is only but for the grace of god that you and i are talking about this today without there having been a terrible

disaster unfolded. there is a particular sensitivity when you are talking with liverpool fans through a fence after what happened in 1989. what needs to happen to make sure this doesn't happen again, notjust in the stade de france but at any other match? first, french politicians need to grow up and appreciate the problem they have with their right police. england will be playing a game in munich shortly and the policing there is so much more sophisticated than french policing because they don't look at reputation, they look at reality, they look at the situation in front of them. if they feel there are issues going on, whether safety, and they do it with a smile. the crs are pretty difficult bunch to deal with. i am working with a price and they are snarling at me. —— i and walking through with a press pass. this is

going to be the real backlash that uefa will have to deal with, the corporate community, many of them made that samejourney corporate community, many of them made that same journey up and felt the raft of the french police. the only thing uefa really understand is money and they will be hit by some of the sponsors who were treated appallingly, as were the genuine liverpool fans. how do you ensure that tickets are genuine and the genuine tickets aren't described as fake incorrectly?— fake incorrectly? well, it is a legitimate — fake incorrectly? well, it is a legitimate point _ fake incorrectly? well, it is a legitimate point and - fake incorrectly? well, it is a legitimate point and there i fake incorrectly? well, it is a i legitimate point and there were fakes there. there is a broader point here that the allocations for such a huge game between two amazingly supportive clubs, real madrid and liverpool football club is, that greater allocation wasn't given to them. the french in fairness did leon fans own in town where many of the fans stayed so clearly they didn't go up to the stadium, whatever the sports minister might allege. the french have got to learn, football has got

to learn, and uefa really has to learn, but in terms of your point about the rugby world cup next year and the olympics in 2024, first, they are not as big events as a champions league final, but also this comes down to the mindset of the french police and particularly their outdated perception of english football fans.— football fans. while we've got you had, football fans. while we've got you had. henry. _ football fans. while we've got you had. henry. we — football fans. while we've got you had, henry, we have _ football fans. while we've got you had, henry, we have had - football fans. while we've got you had, henry, we have had a - football fans. while we've got you - had, henry, we have had a statement from the board of directors from chelsea football club, saying that a sale has now been completed, that roman abramovich has sell the club to an investment group led by todd bowley and clear lake capital, how will this go down with fans? filth. will this go down with fans? oh, the will will this go down with fans? 0h, they will love — will this go down with fans? 0h, they will love it, _ will this go down with fans?

probably didn't look beyond to the geopolitics where some of his money came from so they will be absolutely desired —— delighted that the future of the club is sorted out. we hope these american owners who have passed the fit and proper owners test, that they prove to be good owners, that they invest in the team and the club can move forward with a little bit more security.— little bit more security. henry, we a- reciate little bit more security. henry, we appreciate you — little bit more security. henry, we appreciate you talking _ little bit more security. henry, we appreciate you talking to - little bit more security. henry, we appreciate you talking to us, - little bit more security. henry, we| appreciate you talking to us, henry winter from the times. a bbc investigation suggests police forces in england and wales are taking longer to respond to serious incidents. the charity, victim support, says the new figures are " alarming" the figures, based on freedom information requests, suggest that police are now three minutes slower to arrive at the most urgent ermergencies than they were six years ago — that's worse by 28 per cent. the number of recorded crimes which end up with someone being charged has fallen by 40% in the same period. (pres) the government says it is committed to improving the speed of police responses.

our special correspondent ed thomas has this report. 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. police are solving fewer recorded crimes. they are taking longer to respond. leaving the public losing face. do you have confidence in the police coming out?— you have confidence in the police cominu out? , ., , ., , coming out? they come out six hours later when they _ coming out? they come out six hours later when they have _ coming out? they come out six hours later when they have all— coming out? they come out six hours later when they have 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've 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? our research shows that the proportion of recorded crimes leading to charges 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 in february. he says months later, the police have failed to visit the family. 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 after this beating, life got worse. he has been repeatedly burgled. that is my son's bedroom, that. he says the police and forensic teams have not been out to visit for two of the burglaries. 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

resposibility for how fans were treated. 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. 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. 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. jack monroe is a food campaigner and writer — she gave her reaction to the ons data. it has been a collaborative effort and the ons 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 we have 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, what you are experiencing is not happening so, to have that sort of pinned 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 rates 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. earlier i spoke with colletta smith our consumer affairs correspondent, i asked her if the rising costs are a shock to people who do a weekly shop... there is nothing surprising in this data. for most of us doin- in our data. for most of us doing in our shopping regularly and seeing those

prices go up and out man up, the biggest surprise is that some of those prices have fallen because most of us teta ny have those prices have fallen because most of us tetany have and then feeling that. this data was looking atjet items, so the ons, the office of national statistics, to their inflation figures every month, they take a general basket of goods, they look at food prices within that, they also include abg and other big spends that we have as hold —— households. but when it comes to the food basket of goods, there was criticism byjack food basket of goods, there was criticism by jack monroe that actually they didn't take into account that so many people are just buying the budget and so the supermarkets own brand, the very basic range across a lot of supermarkets and shops, and that the ons basket was actually looking at much more expensive items, posh items that lots of people, it wasn't in their price bracket in the first place. responding to that criticism, the owners have said we will look at 30 items that ijust based on that

budget supermarket brand so they have done it across a range of different supermarkets i looked at those 30 items and found that actually the inflation on those items, the amount overall that it has increased by, is pretty much in line with overall inflation, so that criticism wasn't necessarily justified of the ons there, they say, yes, it is pretty much in line with everything else, but what is grabbing the headlines is that some of those items have gone up by so much so when you drill down into the individual things, pasta has gone up ljy individual things, pasta has gone up by 50%, crisps by 17%, read by 16%, so some big increases on individual items. two more conservative mps have called for the prime minister to resign over parties during lockdown. in a post on his website, the former attorney general, jeremy wright, attacked what he called the "contemptuous

attitude" shown by people in downing street. and thew mp for carshalton and wallington, elliot colburn has also submitted a letter calling for a vote of no confidence against prime minister boris johnson. 5a letters are required to trigger a no confidence vote. the number is ticking up. it is still ticking up fairly slowly but it is worth noticing what some of these mps are saying, in particular jeremy wright, culture secretary under theresa may's government, he has published a statement in which he says he has carefully considered his position before coming to the conclusion that the prime minister does need to go. he talks about this allegation that the prime minister might have deliberately misled

parliament dashed parliament with some of his early statements about parties in downing street. the prime minister is facing an investigation into that and for a lot of conservative mps, that is possibly the most serious charge he faces. jeremy wright says he doesn't think the prime minister deliberately misled parliament but it goes on to talk about leaders having to take ownership for the culture of the organisations they laid, he talks about a casual or contemptuous attitude to the sacrifices made by sony many people in the country, he talks about corrosion, he talks about lasting damage to the reputation notjust of this government but to the institutions and authority of governments more generally. and i think that is how a lot of mps are thinking at the moment. they are looking at what happened during the parties and gatherings themselves and they are saying, what lasting damage has this done and that is what is driving out of conclusions from them. a gradual uptick in the numbers, we deny hammy

letters have been submitted, only graham brady, who runs the 1922 committee of backbench conservative mps, knows. but! committee of backbench conservative mps, knows. but i think this will make very uncomfortable reading a number ten. 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". ukraine says russian forces are closing in on the centre of the strategic city of severodonetsk. ukrainian authorities say 90 per cent of its buildings have been damaged and they've given up counting casualties. seizing the city is a key russian objective as they try to capture the entire eastern region of luhansk — in the donbas — but ukrainian forces are mounting stiff resistance — as our correspondent joe inwood reports from kyiv. right across the donbas, they watch and wait. ukraine's forces know the russians are coming.

this old industrial region has been battered by their artillery. trenches are the best defence. despite the pressures, the men here say they are in no mood to compromise. translation: a negotiated settlement can only happen | on ukrainian terms, and at present, if it happened, it would be a horror. it would be the end of the president's career, and of them all, because people went to defend ukraine, not for zelensky, but for ukraine. but ukraine's president remains a popularfigure with broad support for the way he's led this country through the darkest days of this war. until now, he'd spent the entirety of it here in the capital, kyiv. yesterday, that changed as he visited kharkiv. until a few weeks ago, ukraine's second city was a frontline. the fact that it is now deemed safe for the president to visit shows how far the war has

changed in this part of the country. but in the donbas, things are still looking difficult for ukraine, specifically around the city of severodonetsk, where russian troops are said to be pushing towards the centre. translation: we are doing everything to . repel this offensive. there was not a day that we did not try to find more weapons, more modern weapons, to defend our land, to defend our people, and i'm grateful to everyone who defends severoonetsk and demonstrates to the occupiers that peace will still be ours. but it seems unlikely that peace will be coming any time soon. severodonetsk is all but surrounded, coming under such heavy bombardment they've stopped counting the casualties. like many battles before it, the fight for this city is not simply a question of who holds it when the guns have stopped, but what price they have paid for their victory. joe inwood, bbc news, kyiv.

joe biden has said the united states will not provide rocket systems to ukraine which can strike into russia. the words from the us president has been labelled as sensible by the deputy head of russia's security council, dmitry medvedev. this is whatjoe biden had to say. are you going to send long—range rocket systems to ukraine? we aren't going to send to ukraine rocket systems for striking russia. european commission president ursula von der leyen says and eu sanctions deal not there yet, speaking as she arrived for the european council she said she had low expections for a deal in the next 48 hours but said she was confident a deal was still possible. eu nations had hoped to strike a deal before the leaders' summit. hungary is being seen as the main obstacle to agreement. slovakia and the czech republic have asked for longer to phase out russian oil. speaking in brussels, hungarian prime minister viktor orban says no compromise has been reached on the russian oil embargo at all. i have just got the text now

and the agreement, of course. the problem is, you know, we are in a very difficult situation. basically because of the irresponsible behaviour of the commission after the verified consensus, we agreed that there would not be any suggestion made by the commission on energy, which is not properly negotiated with the member states. and now out of the blue we have the idea of an embargo and sanctions on oil. without answering the questions which related to the hungarian energy supply security. so, the whole situation we are in is a difficult one, created by the commission, and the responsibility of not having agreement today must be an will be on the shoulders of the commission. the hungarian position is very simple. because energy is a serious issue, it is not... it's not a kids' game.

that was victor orban speaking, the hungarian prime minister, and it is likely that from tomorrow, a dutch company will have its supply from gas prom cut off because they are refusing to pay in roubles because it would breach some of the eu sanctions in place. the dutch company says they have been buying gas from other providers in anticipation of this but it is impossible to predict how the loss of 2 billion cubic metres of russian gas will affect the supply and demand situation and whether the european market can absorb the loss of supply without serious consequences. let's take a look at the weather forecast now. some heavy and thundery showers on

the way. this is the story of the rainfall today. this line across southern and towards eastern england where we have the thundery downpours at the moment, round parts of berkshire, hampshire, still some rumbling into the evening across parts of an —— eastern england. showers will continue in many places but in scotland and northern ireland, it will turn drier, with the exception of their western isles. some rain will move in here. we start the day tomorrow, showers get going in again tomorrow, the heaviest across eastern areas of the uk, outbreaks of rain developing in northern ireland, wales, southern england turning brighter to end the day, feeling a little bit warmer here. a few sunny spells around in between the showers and the rainy northern ireland pushes on into wales in the western side of england on wednesday before travelling further east. further showers around on wednesday, catch one of those, it

could be heavy and thundery in places, before the weather turns a little bit quieter for the places, before the weather turns a little bit quieterfor the platinum jubilee weekend. hello. this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall and these are the headlines... france insists fake tickets were sold to liverpool fans on an industrial scale for saturday's champions league final, but accepts some resposibility for how fans were treated. 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. 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. a hospital apologises after a couple who suffered a late miscarriage had to keep the remains of their baby at home in the fridge. the price of the cheapest pasta

are celebrating promotion back to the premier league after 23 years away. supporters have gathered for a celebration parade in the city centre following the 1—0 win over huddersfield at wembley yesterday. it an achievement made all the more impressive given manager steve cooper only took charge in september with the club bottom of the table. cooper said the two—time european cup champions belong in the premier league. olives under zinchenko has said he will have one of the biggest games of his career when he represents his country in a long—awaited world cup play—off against scotland. he says it would be an honour to represent his country in such a huge match. i can promise all the ukrainian people who are going to watch us that everyone of us is going to give everything what we have, and we will try to win the game and to make them proud of us, and just maybe for a

few seconds, we would like to give them this smile. that's what we want to do. 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 open 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 the month. raducanu will also be joined in nottingham by british men's number one dan evans. that's all the sport for now. a london hospital has apologised after a woman who suffered a late miscarriage had to keep the remains of her baby in a fridge at home, because nhs staff said they couldn't store them safely. miscarriage support groups say that care across the country varies widely, and hospitals need to prioritise staff training. the bbc�*s global health correspondent tulip mazumdar reports, and there are some

upsetting and graphic descriptions in her report. there's a sprig of leaves that we took from our garden. and then the 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,

put it in the sink, realised 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. and 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, 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 and 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 somewhere where pregnancy remains of these tiny little babies can be safely and respectfully and carefully stored. the importance of pregnancy loss care is increasingly being recognised. here at birmingham women's hospital, work is starting on a first of its kind in the uk bereavement centre. this site is going to i 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. tulip mazumdar says the uk does not record miscarriages in a national register with every actually don't know how many miscarriages happen, there is an estimate of around 250,000 a year, one in four, one in five pregnancies, and in miscarriage, that is how it works

out. but because it is not logged, unless people get in touch, like laura and lawrence did, we tend not to hear about them. now, one charity i spoke to, the miscarriage association, said it probably is quite rare, but will it have have happened more than once, and that is already too many. others have said, we have heard stories, several stories, of this happening to other women and in fact it is more common than we realise. what is best practice, to give the best support to a woman?— practice, to give the best support to a woman? . , , to a woman? there are guidelines but this is the thing. _ to a woman? there are guidelines but this is the thing, for _ to a woman? there are guidelines but this is the thing, for all— to a woman? there are guidelines but this is the thing, for all four _ this is the thing, for all four parts of the uk, and what should have happened with laura and lawrence's case is that their baby's remains should have been taken to the mortuary that evening by a porter who was called and knew what to do. the problem is, and there is an investigation ongoing at lewisham and greenwich nhs trust, and they are in touch with the couple as

well, to try and make sure this doesn't happen to anybody else, but what seemed to be the case from the couple is that it was just a case of nobody knew what to do. so, even though the guidelines exist for that situation, the parents should be taken to a side room, they should be treated with care and respect, and also acknowledged that this horrific thing has happened to them, and for people to understand what it means to have a late miscarriage or an early miscarriage at home. it is not just that you have a period and you are in a dressing gown for a few days and everything is ok. it can be horrifying, as it was in their situation. for clinicians to understand that, and to bear that in mind when they are talking to them, and really with the remains, it is having a much more human response, rather than worrying about the paperwork, which of course is important, which is why the knowledge is important to know what to do in that situation, there are chapels in most hospitals, somewhere where you could go to deal with that couple in a much better way. as we

but many women and families who have beenin but many women and families who have been in touch with me over the course of researching this series, that it course of researching this series, thatitis course of researching this series, that it is a little bit of luck of the draw. not only does it vary from country to country, nhs trust to nhs trust, in the uk, hospital to hospital, but also shift to shift. if you happen to have had somebody who has been given the time to really read through the guidelines and understand them and to know what to do, you only need that one person to do, you only need that one person to see you that day. unfortunately that didn't happen for lawrence and laura. ifeel very lucky that didn't happen for lawrence and laura. i feel very lucky that i didn't have an experience like that, which others will have done. what didn't have an experience like that, which others will have done. what is the government _ which others will have done. what is the government reaction _ which others will have done. what is the government reaction to - which others will have done. what is the government reaction to this? i which others will have done. what is the government reaction to this? of| the government reaction to this? of they were the government reaction to this?

environmental groups have claimed that dozens of fires have been illegally started on moorland estates with deep peat soils. the government introduced new rules on the practice in england last year. here's our climate editor, justin rowlatt. a huge fire burns on the upland peat soils of the north yorkshire moors. burning vegetation during autumn and winter has been a traditional part of the management of peat moorland for more than 100 years. peat is the most carbon rich of all soils. it forms in waterlogged areas from partly decomposed plant material. how deep is the peat here? let's find out. yeah, let's find out. whoa! so, it's over a metre depth here. last year, the government banned fires on peat soils deeper than 40cm in certain conservation areas, describing these soils as "england's national rainforests" because of how much carbon they store. but these "rainforests" are still being set on fire, according to the rspb and greenpeace.

the rspb says it has sent the government evidence on 79 fires it believes are in breach of the new regulations. greenpeace used satellites to detect fires in protected areas. using satellite evidence like this is a real game changer in terms of monitoring peat fires. i don't have to be on the moors. i canjust come into the office and i can see within a matter of minutes where there have been fires. the campaigning organisation says it has found 51 fires it believes break the new rules. on the bowes estate in the yorkshire dales national park, one of the locations identified by greenpeace, the bbc found evidence of burning on deep peat. so, we're already more than 40cm. there's peat all the way. and this one's 67cm deep. the bbc approached the landowner for comment, but received no reply.

the government didn't want to be interviewed for this report, but it confirmed it has received evidence that claims to show illegal fires. it told the bbc any cases where a breach of consent or regulation is suspected will be investigated. the moorland association, which represents the owners of moorland estates, told the bbc it welcomed the government investigation. it said its members would co—operate fully and help with any queries. the rspb and greenpeace claim their evidence shows the current ban isn't working and say all burning on peat soils should be banned. the government told the bbc it would not be able to comment further until any investigation into claims of illegal fires has been completed. justin rowlatt, bbc news, the yorkshire moors. the yorkshire moors.

a 36—year—old man disguised as an old lady in a wheelchair has been arrested after he smeared a glass screen encasing the mona lisa with cake. the incident is thought to be a protest against artists not focusing enough on climate change. officials at the louvre museum in paris, where the famous da vinci work resides, have so far declined to comment but an inquiry has been opened. well, earlier i spoke to art historian bendor grosvenor about the incident. this thing unfortunately happens quite often, he obviously knew he was picking an easy target because the mona lisa in the louvre was probably one of the most photographed and live streamed spots in the world, in any one minute there is probably 100 smartphones ready to capture any action, so he knew what he was doing. fortunately the mona lisa is encased in bullet—proof glass, so the cake was always going to come off worse, but he has spread news of his quite quickly. although it sounds rather

severe, to say this, we do sort of have to hope that the french police come down quite hard on this, because you can see how easily it can happen. haste because you can see how easily it can happen-— because you can see how easily it can ha en. ~ ., ., can happen. we were ruminating on what sort of — can happen. we were ruminating on what sort of cake _ can happen. we were ruminating on what sort of cake had _ can happen. we were ruminating on what sort of cake had been - can happen. we were ruminating on what sort of cake had been used, i can happen. we were ruminating on | what sort of cake had been used, and it is quite clear from those pictures that it was something with cream or butter icing, but tell us about other of protest against art works that you have seen in the past, because there is quite a long tradition of this? it is past, because there is quite a long tradition of this?— tradition of this? it is an unfortunate _ tradition of this? it is an unfortunate tradition, i tradition of this? it is an l unfortunate tradition, but incidentally there is a type of french cake called a biscuit jaconde, which doesn't have any cream in it, it isjust a plain biscuit. but that is beside the point. in this country, in the uk, we have some rather celebrated instances, it happens a lot with statues, the colston statue last year or year before, just recently, last week, people have been chucking eggs at statues of margaret

thatcher. but statues are political acts, in this case it is just an innocent painting which is hanging innocent painting which is hanging in a lovely gallery which should never be touched at all, but it does unfortunately happen. the most famous case in this country probably is the suffragette mary richardson who in 1914 took a meat cleaver to a very famous painting by velasquez in the national gallery and slash it many times to try and raise awareness for her because of the votes for women.— awareness for her because of the votes for women. how true is it for this protester. _ votes for women. how true is it for this protester, if _ votes for women. how true is it for this protester, if this _ votes for women. how true is it for this protester, if this is _ votes for women. how true is it for this protester, if this is the - this protester, if this is the motivation behind it, to say that artists are not focusing on climate change very much?— artists are not focusing on climate change very much? good question. the world of fine — change very much? good question. the world of fine art _ change very much? good question. the world of fine art is _ change very much? good question. the world of fine art is quite _ change very much? good question. the world of fine art is quite jet _ world of fine art is quite jet biscuitjaconde, they do like to travel a lot, we havejust had biscuitjaconde, they do like to travel a lot, we have just had the venice biannale where anybody who is anybody in the art world jumps on a plane or boat to go to venice, and

it involves shipping a lot of art, so it is quite carbon intensive. the new craze in the art world is these nfts, digitalartworks, new craze in the art world is these nfts, digital artworks, that also is a very carbon intensive method because it relies on old computer power at any one time, around the world. —— a lot of computer power. so although i am reluctant to endorse this fellow's protest, but i can see he might have appointed there. english heritage has paid its own tribute to the queen for her platinum jubilee. it projected eight portraits of queen elizabeth ii onto stonehenge in wiltshire, each picture from a different decade of the queen's reign. the celebratory light show happened before dawn, with the highlight a a black and white photograph of the queen at her coronation in june 1953.

the images also include one of her riding and one with one of her favourite corgi dogs. the queen is currently in balmoral for a short break ahead of the platinum jubilee celebrations. our scotland correspondent lorna gordan has been chatting with locals who live in the village nearby about their thoughts and memories of the queen. in ballater, they are getting ready for the jubilee festivities. good afternoon, ma'am. this is a part of the country the queen is said to love. she's a familiar sight on royal deeside. and here, they're celebrating not just a monarch, but a neighbour. oh, it's a fantastic achievement. wow! and a great servant to the country and the amount of things she has done for this country and the area, as well. archive: balmoral has been almost the only place where the queen i could relax from affairs of state. her time here is an opportunity to step back from some of the formality of royal life and to take an active role in the community her family has been part of for generations. she is a regular at the local kirk and fete. there was one occasion when somebody said to me, "oh, "i made a little mistake

with the queen today, "i spoke to her in doric." and i said, "what did you say?" "i asked, �*foos yer mither?”' the queen replied in doric, apparently, and said, "nae bad, foos yer own?" it was another exchange at this kirk that made headlines in what some interpreted as an intervention on the country's future. it was here shortly before the referendum on scottish independence that the queen told a well—wisher that she hoped voters would think very carefully about the future. it's very odd for her to go anywhere near political issues and so i was slightly surprised about it, but it didn't cross a red line. scots, polls suggest, are less keen on the monarchy than in other parts of the uk, but many feel real fondness for the queen herself. if i read the scottish people correctly, they are impressed by a person like that who does her duty comprehensively, has lived through the greatest set of changes probably in the history of the union since 1707, and is still highly, highly respected.

nowhere more so than here... i'll give you just the two bars before. ..at rehearsals for ballater�*sjubilee service. i used to work for her years ago, so she's very special to me and we're so happy to be able to do something for her this year. i would just like to wish her a very, very happyjubilee l celebration and know that everyone in royal deeside sends— their best wishes to her. # congratulations...# celebrating her relationship with this area, with scotland, and her 70 years of service. lorna gordon, bbc news, ballater. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick miller. we are keeping a close eye on the jubilee weekend weather, it looks like it is going to settle down in comparison to what we have at the

moment. we have found some afternoon sunshine in cornwall, this afternoon, although there was not much of that in the rest of the country. in eastern parts of england we have got low pressure right over us, the winds are light which means if you are catching showers today they could be prolonged, and the heaviest ones are creating some difficult driving conditions for the evening rush—hour. overnight, a lot of the showers will keep going into parts of wales and england whereas it is looking drierfor a time in scotland and northern ireland. although the western isles will have some showers moving in. parts of north—east scotland could end up close to freezing going into tomorrow morning. northern ireland will be clouding over tomorrow and we will have some showers developing with longer spells of rain in the afternoon. by the afternoon, you can see the extent of the showers, it looks like the heaviest ones will be

focused on eastern areas in the afternoon, some of them thundery with hail. they will fade from western areas by the end of the afternoon and in some late sunshine it will feel a touch warmer. there will be an area of rain coming out of northern ireland overnight and into wednesday morning. there will be showers across eastern scotland. clear spells elsewhere. single figures for many into wednesday morning. on wednesday, sunny spells and showers, which will tend to fade from the west in the afternoon as an area of high pressure comes in. it will feel warmer for area of high pressure comes in. it will feel warmerfor many area of high pressure comes in. it will feel warmer for many on wednesday. thursday and friday, bank holidays, high pressure, but there is a weather disturbance within that which will keep showers going across

northern areas. on saturday and sunday, showers could come up into southern areas, especially on sunday. with temperatures heading back to average for the time of year, it will feel warmer.

this is bbc news. the headlines the french government says fake tickets were sold to liverpool fans the french government says fake tickets were sold to liverpool fans on an �*industrial scale' for saturday's champions league final, but also accepts some responsibility for how fans were treated. further pressure on the prime minister as two

more of his own mps call for him to resign.
