hello, good evening. european football's governing body uefa has tonight announced an independent investigation into what went on at the champions league final in paris at the weekend. the french government, after emergency talks earlier today with police and football officials, blamed "industrial—scale" ticket fraud for the chaos at the stade de france. there's been widespread condemnation of the police tactics — officers 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. move back, move back! how close they came to disaster here is starting to sink in — for the fans, for the officials and for the police. but there's 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, l industrial—scale organised fraud concerning fake tickets. the stade de france and the french football federation estimate that 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 this 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 weren't 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,

they opened the turnstile and it was just a free for all — everybody just stampeded through the actual gates. nobody had to show a ticket. everybodyjust ran. it was absolute chaos. and then from there we literally ran to our seat, but there were girls crying on the floor — it was obviously really traumatic for people. the head of football supporters europe says saturday's policing was based on an outdated stigma surrounding english football fans. when you drop pepper spray, tear gas, in the middle of a crowd where people are queueing with young people, kids and elderly people, that is dangerous. it's a bit of a miracle that nothing more serious happened. in the end, that is what the administrator said, "no one died." yeah, 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 those arrested at the stadium were british, but there has been prais 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. the news about the uefa investigation comes after a day when the french government expressed regret for some aspects of organisation around saturday's final but on television tonight the french interior minister focused again on what he sees as the core problem, fake tickets among british fans. he said at all future sporting events in france spectators would need to show digital tickets only to gain access. nevertheless, there is a sense tonight that france will need to build back confidence among sport fans ahead of its hosting of the rugby world cup next year and the olympics in 202a. studio: lucy, thank you. lucy

williamson. police in england and wales are taking longer to attend serious offences, and fewer people are being charged — according to figures obtained by the bbc from 22 forces in freedom of information requests. officers are now 28% slower to attend the most serious emergencies than six years ago, and the proportion of recorded crimes leading to a charge or court summons fell 40% in the same period. there was a fall in the number of police officers in england and wales during the first decade the government was in power, though since 2020 police officers numbers have risen by 5%. our special correspondent ed 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's nothing being done. police are solving fewer recorded crimes. the windows smashed, everything thrown all over my house.

they're 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 ball bearing, probably about eight to ten millilitres. - it was pretty much . shot straight through. so 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 a0%. we have also learnt that 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. —— we move north to leigh. 10,11,12. 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 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 and 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. this is actually my son's bedroom.

he says the police and forensic teams have not been to out 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 arse and help people in need. i'm in need of help — i need some help. we've 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 til 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 you're 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. you just think, "who do you go to if you're 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 is with me — some upsetting stories there. what more do we know about what is behind this drop in response? yes,

the question _ behind this drop in response? yes, the question why. _ behind this drop in response? yes, the question why. we _ behind this drop in response? yes, the question why. we know police numbers— the question why. we know police numbers are rising again after falling — numbers are rising again after falling until 2019 but there are voices— falling until 2019 but there are voices within policing who say there are just _ voices within policing who say there are just not — voices within policing who say there are just not enough of them on the front line _ are just not enough of them on the front line and they are under pressure _ front line and they are under pressure. they say police on the ground _ pressure. they say police on the ground are — pressure. they say police on the ground are overwhelmed and dealing with complex mental health issues, dru- with complex mental health issues, drug dependency, homelessness, issues _ drug dependency, homelessness, issues that other agencies are just not managing. reaction tonight from our report— not managing. reaction tonight from our report from labour's shadow home secretary. _ our report from labour's shadow home secretary, she says victims are being _ secretary, she says victims are being left — secretary, she says victims are being left in despair and action on crime _ being left in despair and action on crime is _ being left in despair and action on crime is getting worse. she said the government is failing. the policing minisier— government is failing. the policing minister response tonight says he will improve the police response times— will improve the police response times and — will improve the police response times and will publish league tables to hold _ times and will publish league tables to hold forces to account.— to hold forces to account. thank ou, ed to hold forces to account. thank you, ed thomas. _ russian forces are moving towards the centre of the city of severo—donetsk in ukraine — a key target in its attempt to take control the whole of the donbas region in the east.

—— severodonetsk in ukraine. president zelensky says two thirds of the city's housing stock has already been destroyed, with russia carrying out huge artillery bombardments. our correspondentjeremy bowen and camera journalist fred scott have sent this report from bakhmut, a front line town that could become one of russia's next objectives in donbas. 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, bow 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 fightling. 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 were 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, a 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 number of basic foods have seen big price rises in the last year — with pasta up as much as 50%, according to new figures from the office for national statistics. the ons has been looking at everyday products sold in several leading supermarkets. our business correspondent emma simpson has been looking at the findings.

they're everyday groceries and for the first time the ons has tracked how much these 30 items cost if you buy them from the cheapest, own—brand supermarket ranges. the ons did this experimental research after the food campaignerjack monroe complained that the official stats on inflation underestimated the impact on the poorest households. it found that cheapest pasta went up by 50% in the past year. crisps were up i7%. bread was up i6%, and so was minced beef — much higher than general inflation. to have that sort of pinned down into official data, into official statistics, the realities for millions of people in the uk at the moment, puts us in a stronger position to campaign for things like betterwages, higher uprating for benefits. people are being priced out of their own dinner up and down the country.

the rise in the use of food banks in this country is astronomical and it's just set to get worse. but six items on the list went down in price. the biggest drop was potatoes, down 14%. cheese fell 7%, while chips and sausages were both 3% lower than last year. overall, these low cost groceries rose by about 6% — that's roughly the same as average food prices. the ons said there are limitations with this data. so what does it tell us? it shows that the cheapest food prices really aren't rising the fastest. it is broadly in line with our own more comprehensive research, but we're seeing even bigger increases in the standard lines and to some extent even in premium. the supermarkets are trying to hold off increasing everyday essentials. it's their key battleground and they really don't want to be losing shoppers. but even with that in mind, we are still seeing some pretty big increases coming through as commodity

prices increase, and they are now getting passed on. and there's more to come, but it's clear where and how you shop can make a difference. emma simpson, bbc news. three more conservative mps, elliot colburn, andrew bridgen and jeremy wright, have submitted letters calling on the prime minister to resign because of the partygate scandal. jeremy wright, a former attorney general, says covid rule—breaking at westminster had done lasting damage to the reputation of government. borisjohnson apologised again last week for lockdown parties held in downing street. another 71 cases of monkeypox were detected in england over the weekend, bringing the total in the uk to 179. new guidance to help control the latest outbreak says infected people should avoid close contact with others until their lesions have healed. a london hospital has said it will change its procedures, after a woman who suffered a late miscarriage told the bbc

that she and her partner had to keep the remains of their baby in a fridge at home because nhs staff said they couldn't store them safely. the couple have been speaking to our global health correspondent tulip mazumdar, and i must warn you her report contains some graphic descriptions. 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 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. lewisham and greenwich nhs trust say they are now in touch with miss

brody to discuss what action they are taking in response to her experiences. this includes, they say, reviewing processes to ensure compassionate and timely support for patients, setting up a specialist miscarriage support clinic and making it easier for patients who have urgent concerns to contact them. it's beyond sad, really. it's unbearable. there simply should be somewhere where pregnancy remains, or these tiny little babies, can be safely and respectfully, and carefully stored. 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. the rapper drake has led tributes to the indian singer and rapper sidhu moose wala who's been shot dead near his home in the north indian state of punjab. moose wala, who had a huge global following, was named one of the guardian newspaper's artists to watch in 2020. this report from rajini vaidyanathan contains some flashing images from the start. described as one of india's most forceful music experts, sidhu moose wala's music racked up more than 5 billion views. known for his trademark punjabi

vocals, mixed with rap, hip—hop and drill beats. creative but controversial. some of his songs, like this, glorify gun culture. sidhu moose wala had been charged with indian police for sharing violent contact on social media. and it was a shooting that claimed his life on sunday. cctv shows to make your car is trailing his black suv. officials say at least 30 shots were fired by the gunman. police initially said it could be gang—related, but they are still investigating. a career that was just getting started, a budding politician who also acted in films. so sidhu moose wala has been called a pioneer, an icon, a legend already, and he was only 28. what this means is that this person has been able to create this mindblowing legacy which goes beyond music. his artistry was truly inspiring

and i think that what he was able to do, which is what we love about him, and what people love about him, is provoke — he was able sidhu moose wala's final release was called the last ride. the lyrics of the song were chillingly prophetic. the funeral will happen. the archbishop of canterburyjustin welby says he is deeply saddened that he's had to withdraw from this week's thanksgiving service for the queen, after he tested positive for covid19. the archbishop was due to deliver the sermon at the service at st paul's cathedral in london on friday, which is part of the platinum jubilee celebrations. and in the run up to those celebrations, which begin across the country on thursday, eight images of the queen have been projected onto stonehenge. to many people, her majesty projects an enduring image of britishness around the world — so in thisjubilee week, our royal correspondent,

daniela relph, looks at the queen's iconic image. one of the most photographed and painted people in the world. sometimes a vivid presence in public life. 0rjust a quiet part of our every day. being king or queen is an exclusive club. jordan's king abdullah is in a unique position to understand the pressures and privilege of monarchy. his father, king hussein, became king in 1952, the same year as the queen's accession. a close family bond that continues today. when you look at her majesty, you look at consistency. and i think putting the moral bar at the highest point possible. again, if you look at 70 years of british history, you've had good days and bad days. her majesty, i think, was a beacon of light, of hope, and continues to be, i believe, for your nation

and for many of us around the world. good evening, mr bond. good evening, your majesty. the opening ceremony for the 2012 olympics was a rare moment of surprise. but for most of the past 70 years, the queen's public image has been largely unchanged, and tied to a sense of national identity. i think that the queen's presence makes britain kind of larger than it is because it has such a global attention. i mean, we don't care what the royals in the netherlands are like or are doing. we don't care what the king of spain is doing, you know, next week. we have no idea. but people are very, very involved with, invested in, focused on what the british royal family are doing at any given point of the day. official photographs are the defining images of monarchy. for the goldenjubilee, the photographer rankin took this picture. he captured the queen

laughing when he dropped some camera equipment — an unusual, off—guard official photo. when i was waiting in the throne room, where she knights people, i was watching her walk towards me with a footman. and they were laughing. i remember her walking through the door, and i felt this incredible sort of wave of power. the power in the room. 70 years on the throne gives you that impact. from all angles, perhaps the most recognisable figure in public life. daniela relph, bbc news. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night.
