happened. let's look at the events of saturday night. the french government has blamed what it called "industrial scale" ticket fraud, for the chaos at this weekend's champions league final in paris. french ministers held emergency talks earlier today with police, and french and european football officials, as the row continued about what happened at the match. there's been widespread condemnation of the tactics of the police, who used tear gas and pepper spray on thousands of liverpool fans as they queued for hours to get into the stadium. our paris correspondent lucy williamson has the latest. how close they came to disaster here is starting to sink in. for the fans, for the officials and for the police. but there is one story about what went wrong on saturday and two different stories about why. the french government is blaming ticket fraud. translation: what we have seen is massive, industrial— scale organised fraud

concerning fake tickets. this is estimated at nearly 70% of all tickets were fake. fans have pointed out that the hologram found on previous tickets for the champions league final was missing from the tickets this time, making them easier to fake. uefa said that tickets contained a number of security features and the design was different for every single competition. but the problems on saturday started well before the turnstiles and fan groups say they had nothing to do with tickets. this is how security in the stadium began to unravel. liverpool fans were told to arrive at this train station because the usual transport link was affected by strike action. they were directed through an underpass to the security point outside the stadium, but the number of people arriving overwhelmed the handful of officials there who eventually allowed everyone in the area to stream

through to the turnstiles. this underpass is where stewards carried out the first set of security checks, but there is only space for a handful of checkpoints and the crowd quickly built up to dangerous levels, meaning the checks here were abandoned. a key question for organisers is why people were not sent to the main access point for the stadium 200 metres away? fan groups here on saturday have told us it was virtually empty. once inside the perimeter fans found some entry gates had been closed and that local residents without tickets had gate—crashed the crowd. as kick—off approached, a few people scaled the fence. french police responded with tear gas. for the liverpool fans it was a brutal surprise. eventually about three minutes, five minutes to nine, it wasjust a free for all at the turnstiles and everybody stampeded

through the actual gates, nobody had to show a ticket, everybodyjust ran, it was absolute chaos. and then from there we literally got to our seat. but there were girls crying on the floor, it was obviously really traumatic for people. the head of football supporters your says saturday's policing was based on an outdated stigma surrounding english football fans. when you drop pepper spray and tear gas in the middle of a crowd when people are queueing with young people, kids, elderly people, that is dangerous. it is a miracle that nothing more serious happened. in the end that is what the administrator said, no one died. no one died, great. no one should die at a football game. you shouldn't measure the success of your operation against that. france's interior minister has pointed out that half arrested at the stadium were british, but there has been praised here for how most liverpool fans behaved. one observer said the shadow of hillsborough meant that

faced with confusion, frustration and fear at the hands of french police the liverpool fans policed themselves. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. a bit more about uefa who is commissioning this independent report around saturday's champions league final. they said that the comprehensive review will examine decision—making, responsibility and behaviours of all entities involved in the final. we will bring you more on that as we get it. fans from two real madrid supporters clubs said people from spain and england huddled together so they wouldn't get robbed, and described scenes of chaos at the stadium. translation: when the game ended, it was chaos. they were organised groups who were robbing people, harassing them, breaking car windows will stop it was absolute cast. we saw people

being attacked over here, over there, all over the place. it was absolute chaos. two female spanish journalists were catatonic. we had to help them. i took them to my van and we got out of there. it was like hell. i've been to games in liverpool, munich, milan, cardiff, russia. i've never seen anything like this. there were not enough police, they were not enough resources and there wasn't enough respect for fans. we were left high and dry, both the spanish fans and the english ones. the spanish and english fans huddled together in order to not get robbed in groups of three orfour orfive fans order to not get robbed in groups of three or four or five fans together of liverpool and rio madrid gathered together so that they would not get robbed. it was crazy. translation:

first is the uefa. so there was a lack of organisation on the part of the french also in the behaviour of the french also in the behaviour of the french also in the behaviour of the french police who where you are using tier gas also, which should not have been used in these circumstances, there was a lack of safety as well because those gangs that try to grab people and they were there. that's the thing, the police tried to disperse the crowd. yes, it is an embarrassment. now for the question of the fake tickets, there where fake tickets, i don't know how many, it's difficult to say. but i think it is for uefa to make this investigation and that is very important. i think in the future, of course, because we are

organising other events, including olympic games, the government will draw lessons from that. the government and the organisers because it is not only the host country who is organising everything. country who is organising everything-— country who is organising eve hina. ., ~' country who is organising eve hina. ., ,, ., everything. how do you think now enalish everything. how do you think now english football _ everything. how do you think now english football fans _ everything. how do you think now english football fans are - everything. how do you think now english football fans are regarded j english football fans are regarded tjy english football fans are regarded by the french authorities? weill. english football fans are regarded by the french authorities? well, the minister said — by the french authorities? well, the minister said that _ by the french authorities? well, the minister said that there _ by the french authorities? well, the minister said that there was - minister said that there was massive fraud. i'm not sure that it is pressure by the public in france, so we wait for the investigation. you know, we wait for the investigation. you know. our — we wait for the investigation. you know, our football fans being stigmatized know, ourfootball fans being stigmatized by previous problems of travelling fans in europe? weill. travelling fans in europe? well, robabl travelling fans in europe? well, probably that — travelling fans in europe? well, probably that is _ travelling fans in europe? well, probably that is the _ travelling fans in europe? well, probably that is the case - travelling fans in europe? well, probably that is the case also i probably that is the case also because it is a question of prejudice because there has been problems in the past, but we know that it has to change. i was in the

sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's mimi. government officials in france say that an industrial scale'ticketing fraud operation contributed to the problems at saturday's champions league final. in the past hour, uefa have announced that they have commissioned an independent report into what went wrong. ticket holders attending the game described a "chaos" before and after the match with french police repeatedly firing tear gas and pepper spray at people waiting to get into the stadium. the french sports minister has been criticised for her attempts to blame people without tickets. the first element, the root cause of all that, was the volume of full stick its or persons without any tickets. —— the volume of false tickets. we know there were a number of adverse circumstances that made the problem even harsher, late arrival around the stadium, difficulties in the transportation, difficulties also to locate the british people that

were everywhere around the stadium, without us being able to know where exactly they came from and how they arrived at the stadium. it's absolute nonsense, what she's saying there isjust not true. i don't know how they can use that statement when if you've not - showed genuine ticket, how do they ever know| which ones were were genuine and which were fake, - if the people didn't - have to show a ticket? and if you look at the likes of andy robertson, who gave his best mate a ticket, you're not going to tell me that he's given his mate a fake ticket from the club and his turn round and said, that's fake. so you've really got to question how well prepared uefa were for this game and if this game should have gone ahead in that city? chelsea have officially been sold to la dodgers part owner todd boehly bringing an end to roman abramovich's 19 year reign. the deal is thought to be worth up

£4.25 billion pounds and was formally announced on saturday. the confirmation brings to an end the months of uncertainty that had threatened the existence of the club. it frees them from uk government sanctions that were imposed on the club due to abramovich's alleged ties to russian president vladimir putin. the new owners say they are all in —100% — every minute of every match. fans have turned out in their thousands to celebrate nottingham forest's return to the premier league. players celebrated from old market square after beating hudersfield1—0 at wembley yesterday. steve cooperjoined the club in september when they were bottom of the championship. they narrowly missed out on automatic promotion but they made it eventually. cooper said the club belonged in the premier league. emma raducanu will play on home soilfor 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 th emonth. raducanu will also be joined in nottingham by british men's number two dan evans. and there was a shock exit at the french open when fourth seed stefanos tsisipas was beaten in four sets by danish teenager holger rune. the 19 year old knocked out fourteenth seed denis shapovalov in the first round and will now take on casper ruud in the next round. in the women's draw — world number one iga swiatek survived a scare at the hands of chinese teenager zheng qinwen. she dropped the first set before recovering to make the quarter—finals and extend her remarkable winning run to 32 consecutive victories. that's all the sport for now. we'll have more for you on the bbc news channel later on. great, thanks very much indeed. three more conservative mps, jeremy wright, elliot colburn and andrew bridgen, have called

on the prime minister to resign because of the partygate scandal. in a statement, jeremy wright, a former attorney general, said covid rule—breaking at westminster had done lasting damage to the reputation of government. boris johnson apologised last week for lockdown parties held in downing street. at the same time, the chairman of the committee on standards in public life, lord evans, has described the government's changes to the ministerial code as a "missed moment". last week the government introduced the idea of a "minor rule breach" with relevant sanctions for the first time, clarifying that not all breaches of the code required a minister to resign. and the prime minister has retained the power to block some investigations. lord evans spoke to our political correspondent ben wright. i think there has been a missed moment, i think it's been a missed moment, i think it's been a missed moment for the ministerial code committing to spend the next moment for the investigation of breach is where i think the independence of the adviser is really important in

their ability to initiate investigation under their own judgment. it also a missed opportunity because we made recommendations in regard to other bodies such as the commission of the public appointments, etc, none of those so far has the government responded on. what we are concerned about as we suggested there should be full independence for them to initiate their own investigations but that it should still be for the prime minister to respond to what should be done if a breach had been found, and that in order to make that work so that the adviser isn't in a position where there were just needs to resign, which would be constitutionally of a dangerous, we said that there should be graduated sanctions available, because some of the things in the ministerial code are not terribly significant constitutionally or ethically, so if it's been a technical beach —— breach, our concern is they've accepted the gradual —— the terms and graduated sanctions but not fully accepting the recommendation

on the independent initiation of investigations.— on the independent initiation of investigations. ——lord evans there. let's speak now with our political reporter, david wallace lockhart. the number of mps who have called for the prime minister to resign, we don't know the specifics, do we, but where do we think those number as are at the moment? 50. where do we think those number as are at the moment?— are at the moment? so, two different issues they are _ are at the moment? so, two different issues they are really _ are at the moment? so, two different issues they are really in _ are at the moment? so, two different issues they are really in terms - are at the moment? so, two different issues they are really in terms of - issues they are really in terms of publicly criticising borisjohnson, calling on him to go, we know that 27 conservative mps have done that so far, and as he sat in the introduction there emma jeremy wright, andrew pridgen, the three most recent in doing so they are. when it comes to submitting that a letter to the 1922 committee, the committee for backbench conservative mps, we are not sure of the exact numbers there, we are not even sure if everyone who has publicly called on him to go has been taken that next step and submitted the letter. if that reaches 15% of conservative

mps, if that reaches 15% of conservative mp5, 54 mp5 if that reaches 15% of conservative mps, 54 mps currently, that would mean borisjohnson would face a vote of no confidence amongst his own backbenchers. i think what we can see given that we know 27 are publicly calling on him to go, the number who have submitted letters given that some may keep that entirely secret, could be higher. potentially getting nervous, when aps spoke to this evening said they were aware of quite a few mps who submitted a letter and hadn't gone public with that.— public with that. what about this concern over _ public with that. what about this concern over the _ public with that. what about this concern over the ministerial- public with that. what about this l concern over the ministerial code? tell us more about that and why it is important. tell us more about that and why it is important-— is important. last week, boris johnson made _ is important. last week, boris johnson made changes - is important. last week, boris johnson made changes to - is important. last week, boris johnson made changes to the | johnson made changes to the ministerial code. that's essentially the code of conduct that all government ministers are expected to follow and we have heard today from lord evans who chairs the committee on standards and public life and they essentially advise the prime minister on issues such as code of conduct. at those changes that the government made last week, they did say they followed advice from the

committee and standards of public life, and that is true in some respects that they did, so for example, that idea of putting down in black and white for the first time that not every breach of the code should necessarily lead to a minister having to resign. that was something that was happening in practice, but it's now been codified. that was a recommendation that came from that committee. as we heard from lord evans there, there were other suggestions they made. actually meet 34 suggestions and just a handful of them were implemented by the government and one that has sounded like he was quite irritated hadn't been taken up on was the idea that the prime minister's adviser on ministerial interest, a man called lloyd gate, he is not allowed to start his own investigation. he has to be given the green light to do so by the prime minister. and it sounds there that lord evans feels that that was a missed opportunity to strengthen that area of oversight. he's been careful to say that he doesn't believe the ministerial code has

been watered down, but it certainly does sound all like he wishes he would've gone a bit further and if he had that opportunity. let's speak now with henry hill, deputy editor of conservative home — that's a website which supports but is independent of the conservatives. thanks forjoining us. what do you make of this increasing number of conservatives who are speaking out and some taking action on boris johnson's leadership? to think that prime minister is under threat yet? are a question of waiting for the by election results in a month's time? well, i mean, we have marched up and down the hill so many times now that it's difficult to tell for sure, only sir graham knows how many letters he's received. i think it's fair to suggest that for however many letters have been sent in public, there will be some that have been sent privately, so there probably isn't an envelope that is larger than the public�*s totals, but i don't believe that sir graham has enough letters until the moment he said so. by election month are the danger moment for borisjohnson.

danger moment for boris johnson. he's danger moment for borisjohnson. he's managed more or less to get their predicate, at least without his mps turning on him, but those two by elections in different bits of the country, both of which are essential to the coalition that delivered boris johnson essential to the coalition that delivered borisjohnson that historical majority in 2019 that he loses both, that's going to start making light of tori and he's worried about their seats, that is the one thing that will get them to send their letters and. find the one thing that will get them to send their letters and.— send their letters and. and are enter their _ send their letters and. and are| enter their coordinated groups, do you think? acting within the different wings of the party, or they are in recess now, talking to their constituents and their supporters. their constituents and their supporters-— their constituents and their supporters. their constituents and their su orters. , ., ., supporters. they are not too well uuite supporters. they are not too well quite needed- — supporters. they are not too well quite needed. i— supporters. they are not too well quite needed. ithink— supporters. they are not too well quite needed. i think that's - supporters. they are not too well quite needed. i think that's part i supporters. they are not too welll quite needed. i think that's part of the problem. i think you've got a lot of very unhappy tori mps, many of whom feel like they are in foxholes. they know they aren't happy but they don't know how many other people are unhappy. they don't want to go over the top on their own, and because there is no air of power since rishi sunak�*s political implosion a few weeks ago, there is no big machine that is reassuring people that they will be looked after it borisjohnson goes on the new prime minister comes in. that

last week suppliers literally turned up last week suppliers literally turned up at their manchester headquarters to demand payment or some uk —based suppliers did police were called. an office—based staff were told to work from home for their safety, essentially. the company is in big trouble. unfortunately, suppliers are in a lot of trouble and so our staff and also shoppers, left in limbo as well because missguided has been accepting orders all through the weekend and throughout today despite from what i been told by several sources their warehouse has been shut since thursday. there is no way they can fulfil orders are certainly not for next day delivery which they were offering on my first expound 99. which they were offering on my first expound 539-— expound 99. obviously people will be worried about — expound 99. obviously people will be worried about getting _ expound 99. obviously people will be worried about getting their _ expound 99. obviously people will be worried about getting their money - worried about getting their money back if that's what is needed. even

but doing is very different. that's the crossover. the crossover that artists many wish to do working with mainstream acts, he did that. not only did his music reach so many people around the globe, it went to a completely different level which we've never witness with his dream was to take it to the next level. that's exactly what he did. and you got to know him over a few years. just tell us a bit about him as a person. i just tell us a bit about him as a erson. ~' : ~' just tell us a bit about him as a erson. ~ ., ~ ., person. i think when i talk about sidhu moosewala _ person. i think when i talk about sidhu moosewala i _ person. i think when i talk about sidhu moosewala i have - person. i think when i talk about sidhu moosewala i have very - person. i think when i talk about | sidhu moosewala i have very fond memories but it's very rare when you come across an artist where you'd meet them from day one, their humble beginnings up until their last and they haven't changed. i have been in this industry for nearly 15 years now, i've been lucky enough to meet many stars but i have to say if i

thomas has this report. one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. it's the perfect storm. i don't think there's any point in ringing the police any more because there is nothing being done. police are solving fewer recorded crimes. the windows were smashed, everything was thrown all over my house. they are taking longer to respond. we got put through one morning. how many windows? all of them. and when did the police come? they didn't. ..leaving the public losing faith. do you have confidence in the police to come out? do i balls. why? a waste of time. they come out six hours later when they've all gone. this is mansway in kent. it was a big one, probably about eight to ten millilitres. it was pretty much shot straight through. that is where it hit me on the leg. where were you? sitting in the garden. we spoke to half a dozen neighbours. they all said the street is being tormented by teenagers

firing ball bearings. going through a 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. 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 the proportion of recorded crimes leading to charges has fallen by 40%. we have also learnt that the police are taking longer to arrive at emergency call—outs. our information requests indicate forces are now 25% slower to arrive at urgent incidents than six years ago. one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. we move north to leeds. ten, 11, 12. this is robert's teenage grandson being attacked in february. he says months later the police have failed to visit the family. this is why we pay their wages, really annoyed. and at the end of the day,

if that is what the country sees, it's 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. 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. this is actually my son's bedroom. he says the police and forensic teams have not been to visit for two of the burglaries. it's my kids, my home, my cars, 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 do you want to say to the police? please, get off your ass and help people in need. i'm in need of help, i need some help. we have also learned of the 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 it meant she couldn't work as a community care assistant. they took me to the station to take a statement. what they did actually say was to actually go onto facebook because that is the best chance of you finding it. desperate, she turned detective. she was even sent this cctv of her stolen car, but couldn't persuade officers to help. i've done all the job for you, i've got the address of where that car is and they are still not doing anything. we would be on the phone to the police at least three or four times every night saying, this is where my car is. one night she followed her stolen car down a dead end and was confronted by a man with a crowbar. the next day it was found abandoned. yiu just think, who do you go to if you are in trouble?

the home office says it is 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. ukraine says russian troops have entered the strategically important city of severodonetsk, as intense fighting continues in the donbas region in the east of the country. the regional governor warned that russian forces were nearing the centre of the city — which is one of the largest in donbas still under ukrainian control. russia is carrying out huge artillery bombardments to try to capture the city and surrounding towns — among them bakhmut — from where our correspondent jeremy bowen and cameraman fred scott sent this report. life was never easy in donbas, at least it was familiar. now, the war is getting closer to their care home and it's time to go.

these women have no families to support them. one of the ukrainian volunteers said, "the russian soldiers are worse than animals, we can't leave these women behind. " they're taking them west out of donbas, away from the russian advance. a russian strike did this close by in bakhmut. most of the residents had evacuated by the time it was hit last week. the man who lived in this flat left the day before. civilians here fear the russians will take all of donbas, including their town. roman and marina want to stay, but it's getting lonely, with the destructive power of the russian army on their doorstep. translation: so far we made the decision that if it gets - too bad, i don't know, we want to stay here, we want peace,

we want our child to go to school here normally. we will rebuild the city. sonia, their daughter, turned eight this month. her school closed when the russians invaded. online lessons are part of a wall of normality her parents are trying to build around her. it's looking very fragile. just down the road is a glimpse of the future they dread. the russians are around five miles away. they're hitting the town regularly, but not constantly yet. doggedly, civilians clutch at routine, as their old lives disappear. the town waits on big decisions.

for the few civilians left about leaving or staying, how to survive. but also for the ukrainian army. some powerful american—made howitzers have just arrived, but not enough to stop the russian advance to sievierodonetsk. ukraine's generals must decide how many more troops to sacrifice in what could be a losing battle for this part of donbas. a fighting retreat to more defensible positions looks likely, if the russian offensive doesn't stall. new trench networks, well back from the existing front line, are ready. kramatorsk, one of the donbas towns that must be on the russian target list, is about 15 minutes' drive that way. the rest of the ukraine is there.

this might all simply bejust in case, a contingency plan, but if the russians do blast their way through, they're going to need it. maxsym's unit was ordered to retreat closer to bakhmut after weeks of heavy fighting. he is one of thousands of ukrainian volunteers. back in kyiv, just after the invasion, he signed up with his friend. i'm studying economy. and i am studying biology. the two students fought in the victory in kyiv. dymitro is still there. ukrainians have to put aside the deliverance they felt then. in donbas maxsym, 19 years old, is in an attritional struggle. we are defending this area's chemical factory. i think that there is no way to.

..make a deal with putin. putin understands only the language of bullets, blood, war crimes. air—raid sirens were sounding as they prepared to bury a 21—year—old ukrainian soldier. since the invasion, this war has had terrible consequences and notjust in ukraine. this man and thousands more ukrainians and russians are dead. the killing here has brought the big nuclear armed powers closer to confrontation than since the height of the cold war, millions of refugees, wider war is a clear risk, more destruction, hunger, poverty and more funerals are a certainty.

war is the bringer of grief and change. jeremy bowen bbc news, donbas. a lawyer and campaignerfor the victims of the windrush scandal has called on the home office to publish an internal report which suggests institutional racism in the department led to the scandal. the report, commissioned by the home office and seen by bbc news, sets out to explain the policies that caused the — scandal in which hundreds of mostly caribbean immigrants were told they were not entitled to live in the uk after many years. our reporter, celestina olulode, explains more about the internal report. it was written by an unnamed historian. and we know of course that in april 2018 the uk government apologised for that wind rush scandal in which a number of children of commonwealth citizens, largely caribbean as you say, receives threats to be deported.

many of them of which toddlers when they arrived here and they contributed so much to this countries economy, to our society. and in that leaked report i quote, we were told that "every single "piece of immigration or citizenship legislation between 1950 and 1989 "was designed at least in part to reduce the number of black "or brown people permitted to live and work in the uk. " so that's a really serious conclusion they are. we've heard from home office, they say, and i quote, "this report does not represent government policy and the views included in it are those of the author who is an historian, independent from the home office. "well, of course we can't forget, there are scenes and number of years ago, david lambie, the mp in the house of commons reacting very emotionally to the windrush scandal. today we've spoken to an immigration

lawyer, jaclyn mckenzie who is supporting a number of the victims, she works for lead day law firm. she said this report absolutely needs to be published. she talks about how many victims she spoke to say that they want to know what has happened so they can get some closure on this so that it can help form part of their healing process. up up to 15 million people are expected to celebrate the queens 70 year rain with their neighbours which is thought to be larger than any other occasion. some conservative mps have been critical of local authorities and accusing them of being bureaucrats by limiting the number of street closures by 16,000. counsellorjames jamison joins of street closures by 16,000. counsellorjames jamisonjoins me.
