a total embargo was blocked by hungary, which is heavily dependant on russian supplies. but eu officials say imports will be cut by 90 per cent by the end of the year. our correspondent bethany bell gave me this update from brussels. this is a move the eu says will severely hurt russia's ability to pay for its war efforts in ukraine. this is a move that will cost russia billions a year and it is really the toughest set of measures the eu has put in place against moscow since the war in ukraine began. as you say, it is not a complete oil embargo of russian oil into the eu. but all in all, it will be about 90%, they say. to begin with, it will be an immediate ban on the oil that comes into the eu by sea, that is about two thirds.

and then there is an exemption for the oil that comes in by pipeline, but countries like germany and poland have volunteered to wind down the oil they receive by pipeline by the end of the year and that will leave about io%, which comes in to countries that are landlocked like hungary, the czech republic and slovakia. and hungary had been one of the countries that had been against this oil ban because it said it would hurt the hungarian economy. there have been discussions about how long this particular ban will last, how quickly the eu will return to try to extend this ban further. but hungary will be the country that remains an issue in terms of bringing it on board, bringing viktor orban on board with what other countries might want to do? yes, hungary emerged as the main

opponent of the soil ban. but now there has been disagreement which is very significant in terms of the sanctions against russia. it has taken several weeks for the eu to get to this agreement. the plans were announced about a month ago, but because of the divisions with hungary, it has really exposed the differences between the eu member states when it comes to the sanctions on russia. and the eu as well has suggested it wants to wean itself off russian fossil fuels, including gas. but that is likely to be a far more complicated discussion for another day. finally and briefly, tell is about the other sanctions, it is a sixth package of sanctions from the eu against russia? yes, as well as the oil embargo it includes measures against russia's biggest bank, it removes them from the swift international payment system.

there are also measures against individuals who have been accused of war crimes in ukraine. there are measures against the patriarch, the head of the russian orthodox church. and also, a number of other measures against russian business. so a very, very tough package of sanctions. the hungarian leader viktor orban has welcomed his country's exemption from the eu oil embargo against russia. our correspondent nick thorpe joins us from budapest. hello joins us from budapest. and i should have on the li had hello and i should have on the line had travelled to budapest to speak to mr orban in the weeks leading up to mr orban in the weeks leading up to this ban. eu officials asked about hungary's exemption have talked about special issues, special security of supply issues that hungary has. take us to hungry�*s position?

hungary has. take us to hungry's osition? , , ~ position? yes, exactly, mr orban has stuck to a stubborn _ position? yes, exactly, mr orban has stuck to a stubborn position - stuck to a stubborn position throughout these negotiations. he said hungary got 64% of its oil and it is not alone in that, slovakia and the czech republic, although he was more public in his opposition to this initial proposal from the was more public in his opposition to this initial proposalfrom the eu. he says because hungary gets this particularly high sulphur rich oil, russian oil through the friendship pipeline it would have cost hungary hundreds of millions of euros to change that technology. it would have taken many years. he was asking at one point, he was suggesting that money could be paid to hungary in orderfor hungary to money could be paid to hungary in order for hungary to sign up to the sanctions. in the end the eu has chosen a different route, as bethany was explaining, exempting the time being, temporarily, that oil pipeline. mr orban has been presenting that as a great victory for his negotiating position. for

the time being, because the eu will want to revisit this. is it possible for them to revisit this without getting hungary on board? it is interesting _ getting hungary on board? it is interesting the _ getting hungary on board? it 3 interesting the way it getting hungary on board? it 1 interesting the way it is being presented. they shall have underlying saying this is a temporary exemption. when mr orban delivered his video message to the nation in the early hours of this money, he didn't mention any time limit at all. the other thing we don't know what is going to happen with is the guarantee mr orban was also asking for. what would happen if the oil stops flowing through the friendship pipeline? will hungary get help from the rest of the eu? after all, there is a lot of bad blood towards hungary because hungary, mr orban has stuck so firmly to that position. on the other hand, jack and the slovaks probably pleased, they didn't have to raise their heads above the parapet and in a way mr orban has gota good

parapet and in a way mr orban has got a good dealfor them parapet and in a way mr orban has got a good deal for them without having to plead too loudly for it. how does this work politically for mr orban as well with an eye to relations with russia? mr mr orban as well with an eye to relations with russia? mr orban has a lona relations with russia? mr orban has a long friendship _ relations with russia? mr orban has a long friendship with _ relations with russia? mr orban has a long friendship with president - a long friendship with president putin. his own side would this a pragmatic relationship, hungry's geographical position in central europe, wanting to maintain good relations with russia. that has got hungary a bad name with the rest of the eu and he has been accused by president zelensky of ukraine of valuing russian oil more than ukrainian blood.— valuing russian oil more than ukrainian blood. ., , ., ~ ukrainian blood. nick thorpe, thank ou ve ukrainian blood. nick thorpe, thank you very much- _ i asked our correspondent in kyiv james waterhouse about the ukrainian government's reaction to the eu deal.

i think the measures have been welcomed by the ukraine government, but there is a frustration and disappointment. not least because of the climb—down from the european union. they wanted a blanket ban here in kyiv. instead, it is a block of around two thirds of oil supplies to europe. those are the sea surprise, not pipeline. the reason being, hungary didn't want a blanket ban. it said the economic pain it would be too much. it is a country which both relies heavily on russian natural gas and oil and also is an ally of the kremlin. so while this is a sizeable intervention from the european union leaders, which will hinder the russian war machine as it rages across large parts of this country, the feeling here is that it could have gone further. it has been a long source of irritation for

president zelensky over the pace and severity of economic punishments and that sanctions, because ukraine on its own, even with the military help its own, even with the military help it is getting, cannot force russia out completely in this war. james waterhouse. and we will have more from james from ukraine later in this hour from those finding themselves prisoners of war. teachers are calling for more children in england to be urgently given free school meals — in order to support families struggling with the cost of living. they say the programme should be expanded to include all families who receive universal credit. than 2.5 million children live in households that miss meals or struggle to access healthy food — and insist now is the "right moment" to act. alice key reports. lunch is served at this half term holiday club in stockport. staff here are responsible for keeping 20 children a day fed and entertained.

but as rising prices start to hit parents' pockets, there are fears that without more support, children could go hungry. we know that a lot of the families who come here are living in food poverty. and have certainly been impacted since the cost of living increases, as well. and many of them aren't on free school meals. ourfood banks have always run in the mornings and suddenly people are asking if they can come at night, because people are working full time and still can't make ends meet. in a letter to the government, teaching unions say they want the free school meals scheme extended to include all children from families who receive universal credit. they say missing meals can have a serious impact on concentration and behaviour during lessons. to prepare and provide a hot, nutritious school meal every single day for every single child is a way of creating a break between food poverty and also healthy young people who can thrive at school and do well at school because, without good food, you just don't survive or do well at school.

currently in england, all infant state school pupils up to year 2 get free school meals during term time. but from year 3 upwards, your household income must be below £7,400 a year. in northern ireland, the cap is set higher at 14,000 a year. and scotland and wales have recently committed to rolling out free meals for all primary pupils. the latest call for change follows footballer marcus rashford's successful campaign during the pandemic to extend free school meal vouchers during holidays. but even he admits there is a long way to go. the department for education says more families than ever now have access to free school meals and they are providing over £15 billion of support to those hit hardest by rising costs. but teachers in england now urgently want to see the government go further.

alice key, bbc news. let's hear more on the economic pressures facing parents and children, joining us now is kate anstey from the child poverty action group. thank you forjoining us today. i want to get your assessment of the impact the cost of living crisis is having on families and children who fall outside the criteria for free school meals?— fall outside the criteria for free school meals? , ~ ., _,, school meals? yes, we know the cost of livin: school meals? yes, we know the cost of living crisis — school meals? yes, we know the cost of living crisis is _ school meals? yes, we know the cost of living crisis is having _ school meals? yes, we know the cost of living crisis is having a _ of living crisis is having a significant impact on families and they are increasingly having to make very difficult decisions. through our work we are going into schools and talking to pupils and families about their experiences and what we are hearing is more and more families are struggling with things like school dinner money debt, being unable to pay for it. we are hearing from children, some of their experiences. one year 11 people told us he knows some of his classmates

asking friends for food because they don't have enough money themselves to pay for the school dinner. lots of other children have said they were previously having a school dinner but actually their family could no longer afford it so they are being moved on to packed lunches. the cost of living crisis is coming through and we are seeing it in schools and seeing it in terms of peoples' experiences and we are looking how to put more support in place for these families. how looking how to put more support in place for these families.— place for these families. how far should this _ place for these families. how far should this go, _ place for these families. how far should this go, this _ place for these families. how far should this go, this call- place for these families. how far should this go, this call to - place for these families. how far| should this go, this call to extend the criteria to allow for more children to be eligible for free school meals? at children to be eligible for free school meals?— children to be eligible for free school meals? �* , , ., school meals? at present, there are about1 school meals? at present, there are about 1 million _ school meals? at present, there are about 1 million children _ school meals? at present, there are about1 million children living - abouti million children living below the poverty line who do not currently qualify for free school meals, because that threshold is far too low. as the report shared, it is thousands a year, so many working families living in poverty miss out. we believe the best, most important intervention would be for universal

provision and this is being rolled out in wales and scotland. every child in a primary school in wales and scotland will receive a free universal school meal. as a very important first step in england we need to look at those families that are struggling on a low income. so extending to all families in receipt of the universal credit or legacy benefits would be an important first step in a way to make sure we are reaching those families being hit by the cost of living crisis. potentially some families who are not in receipt of benefits who are working, don't get any benefits but who are struggling? yes. working, don't get any benefits but who are struggling?— who are struggling? yes, there are families as — who are struggling? yes, there are families as well _ who are struggling? yes, there are families as well who _ who are struggling? yes, there are families as well who are _ who are struggling? yes, there are families as well who are not - who are struggling? yes, there are families as well who are not in - families as well who are not in receipt of benefits. but first and foremost, trying to reach those families who have already been identified as needing support through the state because they are receiving universal credit, but they don't qualify for that free school meal threshold, don't qualify for that free school mealthreshold, but don't qualify for that free school meal threshold, but they are living below the poverty line. that will be the first step on a route or pathway

to universal free school meals so every child can benefit from a healthy and balanced meal each day. there are no other parts of the school day that tested or means tested children get assessed to teachers and materials at school but for some reason, with school food there is this threshold in place and i think that needs to be removed and we need to look at universal provision for all children. in terms ofthe provision for all children. in terms of the cost — provision for all children. in terms of the cost of _ provision for all children. in terms of the cost of that _ provision for all children. in terms of the cost of that and _ provision for all children. in terms of the cost of that and paying - provision for all children. in terms of the cost of that and paying for. of the cost of that and paying for that, what is the child poverty action group saying? than that, what is the child poverty action group saying? an expansion to all families on _ action group saying? an expansion to all families on universal _ action group saying? an expansion to all families on universal credit - all families on universal credit will cost around 600, 700 all families on universal credit will cost around 600,700 million, which is a relatively small amount in comparison to some of the other packages we are seeing being put in place. it is a really significant and important intervention for families. families at the moment are paying around £450 a year per child

if they want their child to have a school dinner. we know that is a huge amount for some families. we have heard lots of stories of families who cannot cover those costs and are struggling day to day. we believe this is, you know, an important package for families, we believe this is, you know, an important package forfamilies, an important package forfamilies, an important first step in providing those families living on a low income with that kind of security of knowing their children will have a meal each day and that security of having one less thing to worry about. �* ~' ., having one less thing to worry about. �* ~ ., ., , about. and we know the arguments, but it is worth _ about. and we know the arguments, but it is worth repeating _ about. and we know the arguments, but it is worth repeating about - about. and we know the arguments, but it is worth repeating about the l but it is worth repeating about the impact hunger can have on the ability to learn and future life chances? , ., , , ., chances? yes, absolutely. for children who _ chances? yes, absolutely. for children who are _ chances? yes, absolutely. for children who are able - chances? yes, absolutely. for children who are able to - chances? yes, absolutely. for| children who are able to access chances? yes, absolutely. for- children who are able to access that meal each day we know it is important for the health and well—being but it means they can concentrate, they feel ready to learn at school and they can engage in everything that school has to offer. as you suggest, that has knock—on benefits for their future outcomes. if they were able to do

well at school, they are more likely to go on and earn more as an adult. although this may seem as one thing, it is an important thing that child poverty action group have identified as an important policy that has those benefits for family finances and family income, but it also has the multiple benefits for children and their outcomes.— the multiple benefits for children and their outcomes. kate, thank you for talkin: and their outcomes. kate, thank you for talking to — and their outcomes. kate, thank you for talking to us. _ passengers in the uk are facing more long queues at check—in and security as well as major delays at travel terminals around the country — as thousands of families attempt to make their getaway for the school holidays. dozens of flights have already been cancelled this week — some at the last minute — as airlines and airports, in particular, have been struggling to cope with a surge in passenger demand and staff shortages. here's bbc business presenter nina warhurst airports and airlines have really struggled with recruitment recently, cabin crew, baggage handlers, security staff, even the people

who move the ramps around so you get on board safely. manchester airport has repeatedly been in the headlines with massive queues holding passengers up, but the problems have also been reported at bristol and gatwick over the weekend and at lots of other airports, it's a similar story. a struggle to recruit staff and get them security cleared on time. have a look at this. this was the scene at manchester airport yesterday. look at that queue! and this was bristol over the weekend. imagine that if you're the kind of person who hates being packed into a crowd. and on top of airport staffing issues, we're also seeing the airlines cancel flights. now, andy was offered an alternative flight when his was called off, but that just didn't work with his booked accommodation. so that's it, his first family holiday in three years isn't happening. we said we'd fly anywhere, we'll fly anywhere that you can get us to. no flights anywhere for three days. it's not just. .. i'm sure that i'll get the money back for the holiday. it's also the fact that we spent 200

quid on a hotel last night, we spent 100 quid on a meal last night and probably another 150 quid this morning on various different things. you know, parking cost us another 150 quid. i'll probably never see any of that back from easyjet. so i'm just hugely disappointed by how they handled this whole situation and the position they put their customer services people here into. oh, the money and the disappointment, isn't it? easyjet have preemptively had to cancel about 240 half term flights, in their words, "in order to be able to provide a reliable service." in other words, not enough staff, as well as it and air traffic control issues. ba, tui and vueling have also had to make cancellations and airlines are facing criticism. they were given furlough support over the pandemic to keep staff on and these big getaway pinch periods have been in the diary well in advance so why are they still not able to cope? it's important to recognize this is notjust a uk problem.

this is happening in many parts of the world. we've heard in the last few days about dublin airport and amsterdam close to home, but if you look around the internet, you can see rapidly the us has had problems. australia, other parts of europe. this shows the industry as a whole is really struggling to get back to normal staffing levels. we saw restrictions on travel removed quite late in the normal period of planning to resource up for peak season. and it's not a matter of putting a job advert out and recruiting people straight off the street. complicated training is required. security vetting is required processes become much more complicated. and when airlines and airports earn no money for two years, they didn't actually have the financial means to do that in advance or proactively when they were simply bleeding, basically. let's speak now to andy prendergast who's national secretary at the gmb union airport security and ground staff and those who work at airport shops and restaurants

are among their members. thank you forjoining us, give us your take on what is going on? this is an industry _ your take on what is going on? this is an industry in _ your take on what is going on? ti 1 is an industry in crisis. your take on what is going on? t1i1 is an industry in crisis. over the course of the pandemic when airlines were not operating, they made mass redundancies. they worked on the assumption that the minute the pandemic ended that people would be queueing to get theirjobs back and it hasn't happened. um? queueing to get their “obs back and it hasn't happened._ it hasn't happened. why aren't --eole it hasn't happened. why aren't people wanting _ it hasn't happened. why aren't people wanting to _ it hasn't happened. why aren't people wanting to get - it hasn't happened. why aren't people wanting to get back - it hasn't happened. why aren't| people wanting to get back into it hasn't happened. why aren't - people wanting to get back into the industry in the numbers they once were? ., ., , ., , industry in the numbers they once were? ., , ., , , ., were? for about ten years before the andemic were? for about ten years before the pandemic this — were? for about ten years before the pandemic this was _ were? for about ten years before the pandemic this was a _ were? for about ten years before the pandemic this was a part _ were? for about ten years before the pandemic this was a part of— were? for about ten years before the pandemic this was a part of the - pandemic this was a part of the economy where wages had been flatlining, where terms and conditions had been cut. other parts of the economy have reacted better in terms of wage growth and people have been lured away by better paying jobs elsewhere. what have been lured away by better paying jobs elsewhere. what about eo - le who paying jobs elsewhere. what about people who were — paying jobs elsewhere. what about people who were working - paying jobs elsewhere. what about people who were working here - paying jobs elsewhere. what about | people who were working here from the eu? is that an issue as well? that is an issue to a point. too many employees in this country have

teaching capitalism to the capitalist, but if you cannot recruit on the wages you are offering, you have to opt them significantly. that is what we are looking for. if they get that sorted and delays in security clearances, which has been caused by ten years of government cuts which means people have to wait months for their jobs, it will not sort out the system. we have a government sat on their hands, operators and airlines that are quite frankly taking the mick out of people, members have a 10% pay cut while managers have their voluntary cuts. the managers have had their money back but our members haven't. until that is put right, this will be an industry in crisis. it right, this will be an industry in crisis. ., _ right, this will be an industry in crisis. ., , , , ., crisis. it honestly takes time to train u - , crisis. it honestly takes time to train up. people _ crisis. it honestly takes time to train up, people have - crisis. it honestly takes time to train up, people have to - crisis. it honestly takes time to train up, people have to go - crisis. it honestly takes time to - train up, people have to go through security checks as well. do you foresee a difficult situation in the summer, what we are seeing in this

to see what the situation is like. gatwick airport say they're operating normally today but will be busy with around 720 flights. they advise passengers to arrive at the airport as soon as check—in opens for theirflight. they say this is typically three hours for long—haul and 2—2 and half for short—haul here in the uk, observers at westminster will be keeping a keen eye on whether more conservative mps will todayjoin the growing list calling for the prime minister to resign because of the partygate scandal. a conservative party leadership contest could be triggered if a total of 54 letters of no confidence from tory mps are submitted. our political correspondent alex forsyth is in westminster for us. alex, talk us through this letter, then. how many letters of no confidence have gone in? it how many letters of no confidence have gone in?— how many letters of no confidence have gone in? it boils down to being a numbers game. _ have gone in? it boils down to being

is something the prime minister is facing a common investigation is over. but this letter goes on to say, it is a matter of principle that a prime minister who knowingly mislead parliament should resign. he finds it difficult to accept the prime minister was unaware of what was happening in downing street at a time. that is not on the list calling for the prime minister to 90, calling for the prime minister to go, but it shows a lot of mps are unhappy about what is going on. what we don't know is how many letters have gone in calling for a vote of no confidence in the prime minister. 54 would have to be submitted to trigger the vote and at this stage we don't know how many have been submitted. �* ., .,, ., ., submitted. among those who have ublicl submitted. among those who have publicly said _ submitted. among those who have publicly said the _ submitted. among those who have publicly said the prime _ submitted. among those who have publicly said the prime minister . publicly said the prime minister should go, do they represent quite a broad range of groupings within the conservative party? this broad range of groupings within the conservative party?— conservative party? this is what number ten _ conservative party? this is what number ten will _ conservative party? this is what number ten will be _ conservative party? this is what number ten will be looking - conservative party? this is what number ten will be looking at l conservative party? this is what. number ten will be looking at now, trying to work out where this criticism is coming from. they were a number of mps who have been pretty vocalin a number of mps who have been pretty vocal in their criticism of boris johnson for a while. i think that is broadening. you get the sense from

some of the people who are speaking out that what has happened is, they said they would wait for sue gray, and sue gray has come out, and there is an expectation from their constituents that they want to know what they're empty thinks. we're getting a lot of e—mails and public statements made to constituents. that is interesting of itself, but different people coming from different people coming from different parts of the conservative party who are now being criticised critical of borisjohnson. but party who are now being criticised critical of boris johnson. but there is a critical of borisjohnson. but there is a big question over what happens next. speaking to conservative mps, there are still some who want to see what happens in coming weeks, there are a couple of important by—election is coming up and people want to see how those measures with the cost of living land with their constituents before they make a decision. there is still a lot of uncertainty and for the critics of borisjohnson, there are some in the party who are loyal to him. his allies point out he say in their view, there is no alternative to borisjohnson and that might stay

the hand of some conservative mps. i think the mood among the party at the moment is it feels like we are inching towards the crux of all of this. but we will have to see what happens. unless that drip, drip of letters dries up, number ten will stay pretty nervous.— letters dries up, number ten will stay pretty nervous. briefly, where are we more _ stay pretty nervous. briefly, where are we more broadly _ stay pretty nervous. briefly, where are we more broadly with - stay pretty nervous. briefly, where are we more broadly with the - are we more broadly with the question of parties after the sue gray report?— gray report? there have been allegations — gray report? there have been allegations continuing - gray report? there have been allegations continuing to - gray report? there have been| allegations continuing to come gray report? there have been - allegations continuing to come out, reports in the newspapers over the weekend. numberten reports in the newspapers over the weekend. number ten at the moment are saying the sue gray report is wide—ranging and there is no suggestion from minister so far saying there will be any revisiting of that. but what we are seeing is number ten are struggling to draw a line under this because we're hearing more about it. the prime minister is facing a commons inquiry about this, so it hasn't gone away in the way that number ten might have hoped it would. . in the way that number ten might have hoped it would.— in the way that number ten might have hoped it would. , alex forsyth, thank ou have hoped it would. , alex forsyth, thank you very _ have hoped it would. , alex forsyth, thank you very much. _

andy murray was busy preparing for the grass court season when he saw the news of the latest mass shooting in america. at a primary school in texas, where 19 children and two teachers were killed by an 18—year—old gunman. on social media murray described it as madness. one survivor's account in particular brought back painful memories of the horrific shooting that took place at his own school in dunblane in 1996. it is honestly unbelievably sad and disappointing. itjust makes you feel blindly and incredibly upset for their parents. i heard something on the radio the other day, a child from that school, and i experienced a similarthing. i was at dunblane. and a teacher coming out and waving all of the children under tables and telling them to go and hide,

there was a kid telling exactly the same story about how she survived it. they were saying that they go through these drills. like, as young children, seven, eight—year—old children, and it is like, how is that normal that children should have to go through drills in case someone comes into schools with a gun? i don't get it. murray feels strongly that the time has come for change. i get murray feels strongly that the time has come for change.— has come for change. i get over there that _ has come for change. i get over there that it _ has come for change. i get over there that it is _ has come for change. i get over there that it is all _ has come for change. i get over there that it is all this _ has come for change. i get over there that it is all this talk - has come for change. i get over| there that it is all this talk about as seeing so political but i don't see how it is. i don't think anyone wants to see things like that happening. my feeling is that surely, at some stage, you do something different. you cannot keep approaching the problem, you know, by buying more guns and having more guns in the country. like, i don't see how that solves it. other issues on his mind include the fallout from the war in ukraine, and a decision by wimbledon to ban russian and belarusian players

from this year's event. i understand why wimbledon took the decision, because of the guidance that was in place at the time from the government. i can also appreciate the players' perspective that are not allowed to play and i have spoken to a number of them, i'm friends with some of them so i talk to them about it and i can and i can understand why it is frustrating for them. i don't think it is necessarily the right decision. is i don't think it is necessarily the right decision.— right decision. is a punishment there will be _ right decision. is a punishment there will be no _ right decision. is a punishment there will be no ranking - right decision. is a punishment there will be no ranking points| there will be no ranking points available for players who play at s w 19 this year. but murray thinks that that will have a little consequence or benefit. i'm not quite sure who actually

benefits because i think all of the players will still turn up and play so i'm not sure how beneficial it is is. he is playing in the surbiton tournament for the stance time since these 17, now 35, he is back because he knows that he needs matches under his belt before wimbledon. i hose his belt before wimbledon. i have hiuh his belt before wimbledon. i have high expectations _ his belt before wimbledon. i have high expectations for _ his belt before wimbledon. i have high expectations for myself - his belt before wimbledon. i have high expectations for myself and l high expectations for myself and hopefully i can perform well in the next few weeks. find hopefully i can perform well in the next few weeks.— hopefully i can perform well in the next few weeks. and that will mean strin . in: next few weeks. and that will mean stringing wins _ next few weeks. and that will mean stringing wins together. _ next few weeks. and that will mean stringing wins together. yes, - next few weeks. and that will mean stringing wins together. yes, yes, | next few weeks. and that will mean stringing wins together. yes, yes, i | stringing wins together. yes, yes, i want to do — stringing wins together. yes, yes, i want to do better _ stringing wins together. yes, yes, i want to do better than _ stringing wins together. yes, yes, i want to do better than just - stringing wins together. yes, yes, i want to do better than just making | want to do better than just making the second week and, yeah, i want to be winning matches consistently on the tour, which really hasn't been the tour, which really hasn't been the case, you know, for large parts of the last 18 months or so, but i still believe that i can get back to that level. , ., , ., , that level. even if his ambitions have not diminished _ that level. even if his ambitions have not diminished in - that level. even if his ambitions

liverpool fans and fake tickets for the issues. this is disputed by fans, and the club, whose chairman has demanded an apology. writing to ms oudea—castera, tom werner said... he added... uefa will now carry out its own review to examine what it describes as the decision—making, responsibility and behaviour of all parties involved. liverpool fans caught up in saturday's trouble have reacted cautiously. there has to be a little bit of a, "well, we got this wrong" from uefa

and the french authorities so far in terms of what they have claimed. if there needs to be an independent report, then what they have claimed so far, they must know, is inaccurate. it's important that that bit happens as well. i'm pleased that there will be an independent report, if indeed it is truly independent. but within france, there are questions about the government's actions and explanations. the country's independent police commissioners union has told the bbc that supporters were not the main problem, and pointed to a need for more officers on the ground. the interior minister says that in future, tickets to major events will be digital. the authorities in france will be under great pressure to get their procedures right ahead of next year when the same venue will host the opening match of the men's rugby union world cup. and all eyes will once again be on the french capital a year later when the world heads to paris for the summer olympic games. james reynolds, bbc news.

joining me now is ronan evain, the executive director of football supporters europe. he was at the gates at the champions league final last weekend. thank you very much forjoining us today. i have spoken to others who were at the game who have spoken about traumatic experiences. they have spoken about unprovoked use of tear gas and pepper sprayed by police. what did you see? yes. tear gas and pepper sprayed by police. what did you see? yes, i think there _ police. what did you see? yes, i think there was _ police. what did you see? yes, i think there was probably - police. what did you see? yes, i think there was probably a - police. what did you see? yes, i think there was probably a little | think there was probably a little bit more. it has been, what was most shocking and worrying was the congestion at the arrival from the train to the stadium. that is where i think a lot of people had been extremely worried that something dangerous could have happened. around the stadium it was shocking, it was certainly traumatising for a lot of people but the real danger was something that people could have actually died from that type of

congestion at the first ticket checked at the stadium. certainly the liverpool fans have behaved in the liverpool fans have behaved in the most impeccable manner. the calmness of this crowd, the awareness of being catalogued in a tight space like this, i think that smacked of being kettled, that is the traumatic experience that is important in the collective memory of liverpool fans and i think back played a key role in the fact that eventually no one got seriously hurt at the stadium on saturday. {sheen at the stadium on saturday. given what ou at the stadium on saturday. given what you saw. _ at the stadium on saturday. given what you saw, what _ at the stadium on saturday. given what you saw, what did _ at the stadium on saturday. given what you saw, what did you - at the stadium on saturday. given what you saw, what did you then i at the stadium on saturday. given what you saw, what did you then make up what you saw, what did you then make up the subsequent claims by the french government by the football authorities and others? i am struggling — authorities and others? i am struggling to _ authorities and others? i am struggling to find _ authorities and others? i am struggling to find any - authorities and others? i am struggling to find any truth l authorities and others? i —n struggling to find any truth in that, as a french person myself. i am honestly ashamed at the reaction of the government. first of all, there is not the slightest

acknowledgement of the victims of the dysfunctional operations here, the dysfunctional operations here, the dysfunctional operations here, the dysfunctional planning and system, and that should be the first thing. sorry about what happened to you. and instead of that they have chosen to deflect the blame on liverpool fans. ignore the fact that real madrid fans have suffered from the same indignities. and they have chosen to use the old stigma towards english fans against them. that is something that we have observed in the whole operation up to the game and now. the liverpool fans have been pleased on the basis of what some of them were, 40 years ago. so, when you start with this position, who are liverpool fans, then it has this noble effect that leads to a situation where the victims are

being blamed, being painted as responsible for their own suffering. it is shameful. you responsible for their own suffering. it is shameful.— responsible for their own suffering. it is shameful. you and others have been pretty — it is shameful. you and others have been pretty clear — it is shameful. you and others have been pretty clear about _ it is shameful. you and others have been pretty clear about what - it is shameful. you and others have been pretty clear about what you i been pretty clear about what you describe as the dysfunctional arrangements, and what led to the crowds and the trauma that followed, i beg your pardon, didn't even follow, before the game even started and certainly again afterwards, but do you think an independent inquiry is going to get to the bottom of that, is going to lay out clearly what happened in order to avoid it happening again? in what happened in order to avoid it happening again?— what happened in order to avoid it happening again? in an idealworld, es. it is happening again? in an idealworld, yes- it is really _ happening again? in an idealworld, yes. it is really difficult _ happening again? in an idealworld, yes. it is really difficult stage - happening again? in an idealworld, yes. it is really difficult stage to - yes. it is really difficult stage to say who was exactly responsible for anything that happened in the streets outside the stadium was the response of —— responsibility of the public authorities. this is very clear. in the vicinity of the

stadium, about the ticketing, outside the stadium, that is where an inquiry is needed. now, there is this uefa announcement of an independent review and this is something that we have welcomed and we have guarantees that fans of the two finest clubs will be involved in the independent review annually will working closely with uefa. we have a problem in france with a culture of the police, the public authorities, they normally deal with this kind of thing internally, there was a lack of communication with the society. and that was what led also to the situation. many of the problem is that we have seen on saturday are ancient, they have been there since the thing was built. they have never been properly addressed. there is this delusion of grandeur in france that we are really good at this and we have always done things this way, and why would we change? we have

seen on saturday that it is just an accumulation of all of these problems we have been building up for years, and it led to the chaos that we have seen on saturday. thank ou. that we have seen on saturday. thank you- ronan — that we have seen on saturday. thank you. ronan evain, _ that we have seen on saturday. thank you. ronan evain, head _ that we have seen on saturday. thank you. ronan evain, head of— that we have seen on saturday. thank you. ronan evain, head of the - you. ronan evain, head of the european football supporters' association. the war in ukraine has seen notjust soldiers captured but civilians too. for those who survive, many find themselves as bargaining chips for prisoner of war exchanges, orforced by the russians to accept their occupation. one soldier told the bbc�*s correspondent in kyiv, james waterhouse, his story. metal scaffolding. holding together hlib's broken pelvis. he also broke his jaw, and lost vision in one eye. hlib is onlyjust taking his first steps. two months ago, he was defending mariupol, with the marines,

watching for the enemy. translation: i turned my head and saw a tank aimed at me. - i saw a bright flash. ifelt the building collapsing. he survived, but was captured. no one knew whether he was dead or alive until this video was posted online by his captors. he was taken to a hospital in russian occupied territory. translation: they held a dagger on my leg, at my throat, - and led to my ear and said, "it would be nice to cut off your ear". they did it to nearly everyone. i couldn't feed myself because my jaw was broken, i couldn't sit up. some nurses were taunting me by leaving food down in front of me and saying, "try and eat that, you lowlife ukrainian".

translation: we were lying there without any painkillers or anything. | so only my faith and the understanding that i had to survive helped me to carry on. singing while hlib suffered, his church in poltava prayed. he has been involved here since he was a boy. translation: i knew there were only two ways out of mariupol. _ death or captivity. all that remained was to pray. the war has brought a lot of suffering, a lot of families are waiting for their sons to return. we pray and we suffer. after 17 days, hlib was released in a prisoner exchange.

translation: the driver approached, patted us and said, "calm down, - guys, you're in ukraine". then i cried and tears streamed down my face. i was very happy. i still could not believe that i was in ukraine, that i was exchanged, that i was in a place where you can breathe freely. in war, capture is an occupational hazard for a soldier. this conflict has seen people, citizens, taken by the russians as they tried to do two things. either use them as currency for prisoner exchanges, and that seems to have worked in some cases, but also to try and crush their resistance, their fight. and that hasn't been so successful. translation: | want to go backj and continue fighting for ukraine to help bring us victory over russia. james waterhouse, bbc news, poltava. survivors of rape and serious sexual assaults in the uk are being treated as "suspects" by the legal system, according to a report

from the data privacy watchdog. in the report, the uk's information commissioner calls for police and prosecutors to immediately stop collecting what's described as "extraordinary" amounts of personal information, like medical records and school reports, from victims. our home affairs correspondent, june kelly reports. it's known as the digital strip search. many rape complainants have to consent to hand over their phones as part of the criminal investigation. they are also being asked for a whole range of personal information. we spoke to one complainant whose case didn't get to trial and who has waived her right to anonymity to speak out. they got all of my medical records, which, unfortunately, are quite substantial. my social care records and a complete download of my mobile phone. looking back on it, it is such a violation. it felt as though i was the one that was being investigated,

i was the one on trial, i was the one that had committed a crime. this trawl by police and prosecutors should stop immediately, says the uk's information commissioner, whose job it is to uphold information rights. he says that because victims are being treated as suspects, they are withdrawing from criminal cases. and this is contributing to the low conviction rates for rape. police chiefs and the crown prosecution service say they are working to improve the way complainants are treated and to rebuild confidence in the system. and the home office says there will be a public consultation on requests for personal information. june kelly, bbc news. you may remember seven—year—old aneeshwar, the budding conservationist who told us all about his mission to raise awareness of nature. he was even dubbed "the next david attenborough" after wowing judges on this year's britain's got talent. now he's been to meet his hero, the wildlife presenter steve backshall, as our climate editorjustin

rowlatt reports. it's a huge honour to give you your first yes.- i say yes. it's a yes from me. thank you so much. and you have four yeses. looking at youngsters like aneeshwar and seeing how they've got hooked into some of the really big problem our planet faces is the most exciting thing about myjob. because, ultimately, they are going to be the next generation making big changes. and there are young people who are not afraid to engage with climate change, with plastic pollution, with overfishing. with all of the big problems that we may shy away from. and that is so, so important. you are about to meet your hero. how do you feel? i'm feeling amazing, right now. steve backshall! it's so, so good to see you. it's great to see you, too.

well, you are going to be my warm—up act today, aren't you? yeah. amazing, amazing. i have been so, so excited watching you developing into like the greatest young conservationist ever. what's the plan? what are you going to do for us today? i'm going to first start talking about sharks and then i'm going to converge into megalodons, and then i'm going to say now, i'm going to welcome the one and only, yes, it's our hero, steve backshall. and then you'll come in. nice. you know, on stage, we've actually got like a megalodon jaw that you can use, you can talk about. and i am even going to talk about what megalodon means. ah. it's going to mean big teeth. that's right. ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage aneeshwar kunchala. - hi.

did you know that sharks have been living before the dinosaurs? wow, that's really long ago. we need to help all these sharks so they can swim gracefully in our oceans. and so we learn more about this, welcome the one and only, our hero, steve backshall! i don't know about you lot, but my cute capacitors are filled to overload. that's me done for the rest of the day. cutting down trees, polluting the seas, poaching the animals excessively. we need to stop getting it wrong. tell me, how did you get interested in animals and the environment? it started just when i was like four. i saw a dead whale dying from plastic. and i felt really sad for that

and i wanted to help it. so i started with conservation and all like that. so we would spread awareness about all these creatures, just like the creatures in your fish tank, like the turtle. so what is it about nature that you love so much? ijust love nature because they have superpowers. just like the turtle can sleep underwater. well done, the turtle! so, aneeshwar, what is your favourite animal? hard to say, but i think i like sharks. so, in a way, you are meeting one of your heroes now, because you are meeting sharks right now, aren't you? yeah. tell me, aneeshwar, because you are a bit of wildlife expert, aren't you, what animals can you see in this fish tank? i see a gold—sided fish. oh, that's a quick parrot fish. i love that one. and look over there. there is a stingray just above your head. just above my head? yeah. so what is your plan, now,

because you are pretty much conquering the world, aren't you? people are saying you are going to be the next david attenborough. if i get one step better, i'm going to turn into the next david attenborough — for real. well, that is amazing. you have already done something pretty awesome by being the first aneeshwar. and you are well on the road. a new study on the best time of day for exercise suggests women enjoy greater benefits in the morning while men get more out of it in the evening. according to the researchers — who monitored 60 people — differences in hormones, in biological clocks and sleep—wake cycles between the sexes, could all play a role — but it's not clear exactly why men and women's responses to the timing of exercise were so different, and the study concludes more research is needed to find out more. coming up next, joanna gosling on

bbc news and tim wilcox on bbc world. you are watching bbc news. hello again. once again we are looking at a day of sunshine and showers. today, some of the showers will be heavy and thundery and slow—moving. low pressure is firmly in charge of our weather. we have this weather front bringing rain across the outer hebrides and into northern ireland. the cloud will continue to break. we will see further sunny spells developing and it will dry up, a touch, and south—west england during the afternoon, but the rain persisting across northern ireland with temperatures between 12—17 celsius and breezy across southern counties. this evening and overnight, showers will fade but we will keep a few coming in from the north sea and a band of rain moves out of northern ireland, clips southern scotland,

moves across the isle of man into north—west england and wales. clear skies in between so some patchy mist and fog forming here and there. that will lift quite rapidly tomorrow morning. if we pick up this band of rain, it pushes out of wales, continues into the midlands moving south eastwards, turning more showery in nature. we will see further showers develop. some will be heavy and thundery. but there will be fewer showers tomorrow than today and there will be a bit more sunshine. highs of 13—19 celsius. moving from wednesday into thursday, we can see we have a weather front not too far away from the south—west of england and another one coming in from the atlantic into northern ireland. so any mist and fog first thing on thursday lifts rapidly, there will be dry weather around with isolated showers, cloud building as we go through the course of the day and we'll start to see some rain coming in across northern ireland. by the time the beacons are lit in the early evening,

we might see some of that clipping the west of scotland. during the course of friday, we have all of that across parts of scotland and northern england. we have some showers coming up from the south. in between, some dry weather, some sunshine, with highs of 11—22 celsius. as we head into the weekend there is some uncertainty in the forecast as to where exactly we will see the showers because of this one heading south and this one heading north. but it looks like we will see some showers across southern england. the heaviest of those will be during the course of sunday. in between, some sunshine around and, in that sunshine, it will feel quite warm, so keep tuned to the forecast.

this is bbc news — i'm annita mcveigh. the headlines at 11: teachers call for more children in england to be urgently given free school meals — as families struggle with the cost of living. holidays, weddings and honeymoons ruined — as thousands lose out to major travel disruption. people will feel, is this going to happen to me? am i going to be one of the ones caught up in this chaos? and that can only be damaging to the industry itself. the prime minister remains under pressure over downing street lockdown parties — as the number of conservative mps calling on him to resign increases. european union leaders agree on a sanctions plan to block more than two—thirds of russian oil imports. andy murray speaks out about us gun laws — and says the school shooting in texas last week made him "incredibly upset".

surely at some stage you do something different. like, you can't keep approaching the problem, you know, by buying more guns and having more guns in the country. and, coming up, dubbed the next david attenborough — a conservationist kid meets one of his biggest heros. good morning. teachers are calling for more children in england to be urgently given free school meals — in order to support families struggling with the cost of living. they say the programme should be expanded to include all families who receive universal credit. in a letter to ministers, uniions are warning that more than 2.5 million children live

in households that miss meals or struggle to access healthy food, and insist now is the "right moment" to act. alice key reports. lunch is served at this half term holiday club in stockport. staff here are responsible for keeping 20 children a day fed and entertained. but as rising prices start to hit parents' pockets, there are fears that without more support, children could go hungry. we know that a lot of the families who come here are living in food poverty. and have certainly been impacted since the cost of living increases, as well. and many of them aren't on free school meals. ourfood banks have always run in the mornings and suddenly people are asking if they can come at night, because people are working full time and still can't make ends meet. in a letter to the government, teaching unions say they want the free school meals scheme extended to include all children from families who receive universal credit. they say missing meals can have a serious impact on concentration and behaviour during lessons.

to prepare and provide a hot, nutritious school meal every single day for every single child is a way of creating a break between food poverty and also healthy young people who can thrive at school and do well at school because, without good food, you just don't survive or do well at school. currently in england, all infant state school pupils up to year 2 get free school meals during term time. but from year 3 upwards, your household income must be below £7,400 a year. in northern ireland, the cap is set higher at 14,000 a year. and scotland and wales have recently committed to rolling out free meals for all primary pupils. the latest call for change follows footballer marcus rashford's successful campaign during the pandemic to extend free school meal vouchers during holidays. but even he admits there

is a long way to go. the department for education says more families than ever now have access to free school meals and they are providing over £15 billion of support to those hit hardest by rising costs. but teachers in england now urgently want to see the government go further. alice key, bbc news. earlier, my colleague annita mcveigh asked kate anstey from the child poverty action group about the scale of the problem and the cost of delivering school meals not only to children from families in receipt of universal credit, but to all children. there are about 1 there are about1 million children living below the poverty line who do not currently qualify for free school meals because that threshold is far too low, it is 7400 a year, so many working families who are living in poverty miss out. at child

poverty action group we believe the most important intervention would be for universal provision. this is currently being rolled out in wales and scotland, so every child in primary school in wales and scotland will receive a universal free school meal. but as a very important first step yet in england with initial cut those families struggling on low incomes, extending to families already in receipt of your muscle credit or legacy benefits, would be an important way to make sure we are reaching those families about the cost of living crisis.— cost of living crisis. potentially, some families _ cost of living crisis. potentially, some families who _ cost of living crisis. potentially, some families who are - cost of living crisis. potentially, some families who are not - cost of living crisis. potentially, some families who are not in i cost of living crisis. potentially, - some families who are not in receipt of benefits? who are working, who don't get benefits, but are struggling?— don't get benefits, but are stru: aalin ? . ., , don't get benefits, but are stru: aalin ? . . , .,, struggling? there are families as well not in _ struggling? there are families as well not in receipt _ struggling? there are families as well not in receipt of _ struggling? there are families as well not in receipt of benefits. i struggling? there are families as| well not in receipt of benefits. as i say, first and foremost, trying to reach those families already identified as needing support through the state because they are receiving universal credit but they don't qualify for that free school meal threshold but they are living

also been reported at bristol and gatwick over the weekend, and lots of other airports, it's a similar story — a struggle to recruit staff and get them security cleared on time. have a look at this — this was the scene at manchester airport yesterday. look at that queue. and this was bristol over the weekend. imagine that if you're the kind of person who hates being packed into a crowd. and on top of airport staffing issues, we're also seeing the airlines cancel flights. now, andy was offered an alternative flight when his was called off, but that just didn't work with his booked accommodation. so, that's it — his first family holiday in three years isn't happening, we said we'd fly anywhere, we#d fly years isn't happening. we said we'd fly anywhere, we'd fly anywhere that you can get us to. no flights anywhere for three days. but it's not just. .. i'm sure that i'll get the money back for the holiday. it's also the fact that we spend 200 quid on a hotel last night,

we spent 100 quid on a meal last night, and probably another 150 quid this morning on various different things. you know, parking cost us another 150 quid. i'll probably never see any of that back from easyjet. so, i'm just hugely disappointed by how they handled this whole situation and the position they put their customer services people here into. oh, the money and the disappointment, isn't it? easyjet have preemptively had to cancel about 240 half—term flights, in their words, in order to be able to provide a reliable service. in other words, not enough staff, as well as it and air traffic control issues. ba, tui and vueling have also had to make cancellations, and airlines are facing criticism. they were given furlough support over the pandemic to keep staff on, and these big getaway pinch periods have been in the diary well in advance, so why are they still not able to cope? it's important to recognise this is notjust a uk problem. this is happening in many parts of the world. we've heard in the last few days

about dublin airport and amsterdam, close to home, but if you look around the internet, you can see rapidly the usa has had problems. australia, other parts of europe. this shows the industry, as a whole, is really struggling to get back to normal staffing levels. we saw restrictions on travel removed quite late in the normal period of planning to resource up for peak season. and it's not a matter of putting a job advert out and recruiting people straight off the street. complicated training is required, security vetting is required. processes and that become much more complicated. and when airlines and airports earned no money for two years, they didn't actually have the financial means to do that in advance, proactively, when they were simply bleeding, basically. we're contacting some of the aiports this morning to see what the situation is like. gatwick airport say they're operating normally today, but will be busy with around 720 flights. they advise passengers to arrive at the airport as soon as check—in opens for theirflight.

they say this is typically three hours for long—haul, and 2—2.5 for short—haul. we'll be answering your questions on the latest situation with travel just after 3:30. if there's something you want to ask our travel experts or are wondering about, get in touch with the hashtag #bbcyourquestions, or email yourquestions@bbc.co.uk. survivors of rape and serious sexual assaults are being treated as "suspects" by the legal system, according to a report from the data privacy watchdog. in the report, the uk's information commissioner calls for police and prosecutors to immediately stop collecting "extraordinary" amounts of personal information, like medical records and school reports, from victims. our home affairs correspondent, june kelly, reports. it's known as the digital strip search. many rape complainants have to consent to hand over their phones as part of the criminal investigation.

they are also being asked for a whole range of personal information. we spoke to one complainant whose case didn't get to trial and who has waived her right to anonymity to speak out. they got all of my medical records, which, unfortunately, are quite substantial. my social care records and a complete download of my mobile phone. looking back on it, it is such a violation. it felt as though i was the one that was being investigated, i was the one on trial, i was the one that had committed a crime. this trawl by police and prosecutors should stop immediately, says the uk's information commissioner, whose job it is to uphold information rights. he says that because victims are being treated as suspects, they are withdrawing from criminal cases. and this is contributing to the low conviction rates for rape. police chiefs and the crown prosecution service say they are working to improve the way complainants are treated and to rebuild confidence in the system.

and the home office says there will be a public consultation on requests for personal information. june kelly, bbc news. joining me to discuss this is nogah ofer, a solicitor with the centre for women's justice. thank you forjoining us. in 2021, the government's rape review said disproportionate request for a record should be prevented. how much should it be happening? the record should be prevented. how much should it be happening?— should it be happening? the problem is, at the moment _ should it be happening? the problem is, at the moment there _ should it be happening? the problem is, at the moment there is _ should it be happening? the problem is, at the moment there is general i is, at the moment there is general agreement that there are far too many requests for personal data. but when you look at the guidance, including the guidance put out last week by the attorney general, and the guidance from the information commissioner, it's actually incredibly confusing. there are lots of different legal tests lying around, and we are concerned that in

practice this is not going to respect the kind of requests that police and prosecutors are making. —— this is not going to restrict the kind of request. -- this is not going to restrict the kind of request.— kind of request. why is it so contradictory? _ kind of request. why is it so contradictory? can - kind of request. why is it so contradictory? can you - kind of request. why is it so j contradictory? can you spell kind of request. why is it so - contradictory? can you spell out some of the areas that cause concern? as far as i understand, there are four legal tests, and they do seem to give quite tight parameters around what can be asked for. ~ ~ ., parameters around what can be asked for. ~ ~' ., , ., , , for. we think the main problem is that the attorney _ for. we think the main problem is that the attorney general - for. we think the main problem is that the attorney general has - for. we think the main problem is| that the attorney general has said that the attorney general has said that the attorney general has said that the main test is what is called the relevant test, and that is incredibly broad. it basically says anything that has some kind of bearing on the case, and that could mean police officers think they have a feeling to ask about a trawl about anything that is irrelevant to the victims or survivor a's credibility, which is something we have seen that routinely. there are other tests that are narrower. there is a test that are narrower. there is a test that says, actually, it should not

be a request thatjust that says, actually, it should not be a request that just speculative. that will help, but in practice a lot of police officers willjust look at the relevant test and the things that give them open season to ask for a really broad range of information. i think the lack of any kind of clear guidance and these very general tests that we are seeing are not going to solve the problem on the ground. itruihat seeing are not going to solve the problem on the ground. what impact is that having? _ problem on the ground. what impact is that having? it _ problem on the ground. what impact is that having? it has _ problem on the ground. what impact is that having? it has had _ problem on the ground. what impact is that having? it has had a - problem on the ground. what impact is that having? it has had a huge - is that having? it has had a huge im act is that having? it has had a huge impact on _ is that having? it has had a huge impact on women _ is that having? it has had a huge impact on women coming - is that having? it has had a huge i impact on women coming forward. is that having? it has had a huge - impact on women coming forward. as the women you interviewed said, they feel themselves they are under investigation. a huge proportion are dropping out of the system. really worryingly, a lot of women's therapy records are being requested, and that means survivors feel like they can't go to therapy, or if they do they have to be told their notes

could be handed over to the investigation, so they feel they can really open up in the therapy sessions in case the notes end up in court and the defendant may see them. so it is really holding back women's access to recovery. during the course of an investigation that can take 1—2 years, at the end of that only 3% of cases are charged. so all of those women whose case is not charge, they are not able to properly access therapy they need, and all for nothing because the case is not getting to court anyway. so it is really a broken system. itruihat it is really a broken system. what would ou it is really a broken system. what would you say _ it is really a broken system. what would you say is _ it is really a broken system. what would you say is the _ it is really a broken system. what would you say is the answer- it is really a broken system. what would you say is the answer to this? there have been some high—profile cases where data from an alleged victim's mobile phone was absolutely crucial and like to at least one trial collapsing.— crucial and like to at least one trial collapsing. when it comes to mobile phone _ trial collapsing. when it comes to mobile phone downloads, - trial collapsing. when it comes to mobile phone downloads, the -

trial collapsing. when it comes to - mobile phone downloads, the guidance is actually much clearer now than it is actually much clearer now than it is in terms of things like therapy and medical records. it is clear, for example, messages between the woman who has reported and the accused, those are a reasonable line of inquiry and should be obtained, which i think is what came up in that case. what is not reasonable is downloading every single thing on someone's mobile phone and looking at their entire life history, so there is actually now much clearer guidance on that now. but we don't always see police officers applying it. in terms of therapy, medical, school records, that kind of thing, what we don't have at the moment, even with this new guidance, is a clear explanation that, for example, things are only relevant to someone's background history, credibility, and not actually about the offence itself, should not be obtained. that does not happen with

any other type of crime, apart from sexual offences. so we need much more guidance to spell up to police officers what they can and can't hand over. and oh so that helps a therapist. we really do think that therapy are such an important part of recovery and is so personal that there should be special protections for therapy records, as that is in australia, for example, for rape investigations. here in the uk, observers at westminster will be keeping a keen eye on whether more conservative mps will todayjoin the growing list calling for the prime minister to resign because of the partygate scandal. a conservative party leadership contest could be triggered if a total of 54 letters of no—confidence from tory mps are submitted. our political correspondent, alex forsyth, is in westminsterfor us. what is the latest? the number of mps that have come out publicly calling for the prime minister to quit has been ticking up, it now sits at 27. 511

number of letters. i suppose it highlights that the nature of this, so much of it is done in secret. ih so much of it is done in secret. in a bit of context, i think number so much of it is done in secret. ii�*u a bit of context, i think number 10 had hoped after that report by sue gray last week, that they might be able to draw a line under it. but you are saying that's not happening. you're getting a steady drip of mps coming out. the number is always caveat it. 27 calling on him to quit, 54 needed to trigger that vote of no confidence to stop a number of members are not calling for him to 90, members are not calling for him to go, but being critical. i think that shows there is real discontent within the party and this is not overfor within the party and this is not over for the within the party and this is not overfor the prime within the party and this is not over for the prime ministerjust yet. a no—confidence vote is not imminent, but it speaks to the fact that there are a number of conservative mps thinking carefully about what comes next. eu leaders have ended weeks of wrangling about how to reduce their reliance on russian energy by agreeing a compromise deal

to ban immediately more than two—thirds of oil imports from moscow. a total embargo was blocked by hungary, which is heavily dependant on russian supplies. but eu officials say imports will be cut by 90% by the end of the year. our correspondent, bethany bell, gave me this update from brussels. well, this is a move that the eu says will severely hurt russia's ability to pay for its war efforts in ukraine. this is a move that will cost russia billions a year and it's really the toughest set of measures that the eu has put in place against moscow since the war in ukraine began. as you say, it's not a complete oil embargo of russian oil into the eu, but all in all it will be about 90%, they say, to begin with. it will be an immediate ban on the oil that comes into the eu by sea. that's about two—thirds.

and then there is an exemption for the oil that comes in by pipeline. but countries like germany and poland have volunteered to wind down the oil that they receive by pipeline by the end of the year. and that will leave just about 10%, which comes in to countries that are landlocked, like hungary, the czech republic and slovakia. and hungary had been one of the countries that was really against this oil ban, because it said it would really hurt the hungarian economy. the hungarian leader viktor orban has welcomed his country's exemption from the eu oil embargo against russia. our correspondent in budapest, nick thorpe, told me more. viktor orban has stuck to a really stubborn position throughout these negations. he said basically hungry gets 60% of its oil, and is not

alone in that, slovakia, czech republic, although he was more vocal in his resistance to this proposal by the eu. he said because hungary gets is particularly high sulphur rich russian oil through its pipeline, it would have cost hungary hundreds of millions of euros to change that technology and it would have taken many years. at one point he was perhaps suggesting that money could be paid to hungary in order for hungary to sign up to the sections. in the end, the eu chose a different. viktor orban this morning has been presenting that is a great victory for his negotiating position. let's speak to the hungarian mep balazs hidvegi, from viktor orban's fidesz party. thank you forjoining us. the eu joint statement says we want to put a stop to the russian war machine and stop financing for a russian

enough attention to detail the reality of life for people in europe. reality of life for people in euro e. ~ ., ., reality of life for people in euroe. ~ . ., , , europe. the ukrainian president, bollard volodymyr _ europe. the ukrainian president, bollard volodymyr zelensky, - europe. the ukrainian president, | bollard volodymyr zelensky, said what about life of people in ukraine? he said you're prime minister cares more about russian oil euro keeper ukrainian blood. while i understand that the ukrainian president's attempts to draw as many players into this conflict as possible, we need to maintain our realism. our primary responsibility is for hungarians, the hungarian government is primarily responsible for hungary, not other countries. this is true for other european governments for their own people. if we want to help ukraine and reduce our dependence on russian energy, then we need to be able to maintain our economic strength, and also defend our own

people. we cannotjust commit economic suicide and put millions of businesses and people out of work and activity because of ill conceived and hastily created sanctions, like this one. just to exlain, sanctions, like this one. just to explain. if _ sanctions, like this one. just to explain. if you _ sanctions, like this one. just to explain, if you will, _ sanctions, like this one. just to explain, if you will, how - sanctions, like this one. just to explain, if you will, how your i explain, if you will, how your economic strength helps ukraine? the point of this, obviously, is to help ukraine by not providing funds to rush out that will be used to prolong the military effort. —— by not providing funds to russia. 50 not providing funds to russia. so far, not providing funds to russia. if far, sanctions not providing funds to russia. 5r far, sanctions have caused energy prices to soar, guaranteeing russia more income. you see that the rouble is in fact getting stronger. i have raised several questions about the actual success of the sanction so far. that is why i am saying you cannotjust reduce your decision to

grand declarations, these matters are not so simple. again, you have to maintain euro's stability and defend and provide good circumstances for european poll. if you do not to enter war want with russia, and nato has said it does not want to, then you need to look for other solutions. not want to, then you need to look for othersolutions. but not want to, then you need to look for other solutions. but you cannot hurt yourself more... the for other solutions. but you cannot hurt yourself more. . ._ hurt yourself more... the other solutions _ hurt yourself more... the other solutions that _ hurt yourself more... the other solutions that nato _ hurt yourself more... the other solutions that nato countries i hurt yourself more... the other i solutions that nato countries have turned to have been supplying weapons to ukraine. hungary won't do that either, and hungary will allow weapons to go across its border into ukraine. —— hungary won't allow weapons. that ukraine. -- hungary won't allow weaons. �* ukraine. -- hungary won't allow weapons-— ukraine. -- hungary won't allow weaons. ~ ., weapons. at the same time, we have heled the weapons. at the same time, we have helped the house _ weapons. at the same time, we have helped the house number _ weapons. at the same time, we have helped the house number of - weapons. at the same time, we have| helped the house number of refugees per capita from ukraine. —— the

we harm the one that we want to harm, that we sanction the bun we want to sanction, russia, and not ourselves, certainly not european people and businesses. just understand _ people and businesses. just understand that _ people and businesses. just understand that the thinking behind hungary's position. is it driven by concern about the impact on the hungarian people, or is there an element of support for vladimir putin in this? because viktor orban is seen as vladimir putin's greatest ally within the european union. that is fake news- _ ally within the european union. that is fake news. viktor _ ally within the european union. t'isgt is fake news. viktor orban is a hungarian patriot. his first allegiance and responsibility is towards the hungarian people, that is what drives his actions, decisions and actions of the hungarian government. again, the european union needs to move together, but in order to move together, but in order to move

together and propose joint decisions it needs to take into account the different situations, energy —wise, geographically, etc, of its member states. it is a large block, it cannotjust propose such sanctions with very short deadlines. it is hurting the european economy a great deal, we see that everywhere in the eu. i think hungary takes a more sober approach, and we are defending that position and representing it with our partners in the european union, as well as in nato. do with our partners in the european union, as well as in nato.- union, as well as in nato. do you think it is — union, as well as in nato. do you think it is an _ union, as well as in nato. do you think it is an approach _ union, as well as in nato. do you think it is an approach that - think it is an approach that vladimir putin might well come and see as potentially a gesture of support? it see as potentially a gesture of su ort? , :, see as potentially a gesture of su . oft? , :, �* , see as potentially a gesture of su--ort? , ., �*, ., support? it is not. let's not confuse _ support? it is not. let's not confuse reality, _ support? it is not. let's not confuse reality, or- support? it is not. let's not confuse reality, or a - support? it is not. let's not confuse reality, or a sensel support? it is not. let's not. confuse reality, or a sense of realism, and a sober decision making with the support of vladimir putin, or whoever else. hungary, by the orwhoever else. hungary, by the way, has done a lot to diversify its own energy dependency and energy

titles between them — nadal has won 13 at rolland garros, but djokovic famously won their last meeting in paris 12 months ago. he already won i think the last nine matches in a row. winning in rome and now winning here. in straight sets, every match. he will be confident. playing him in roland garros it�*s always a physical battle along with everything else that happens. it�*s a huge challenge. and probably the biggest one you can have. uefa have commissioned an independent review to find out what went wrong with policing fans at the champions league final between liverpool and real madrid on saturday. french authorities came in for heavy criticism when they said that widespread ticket fraud and local youths forcing their way through gates were to blame. liverpool chairman tom werner has since written to the french sports minister "demanding an apology" for the comments. everton manager frank lampard has been fined 30 thousand pounds

for comments after his side's 2—0 defeat to liverpool last month. referee stuart attwell chose not to penalise a challenge on anthony gordon during the game. with lampard suggesting in a post—match interview that a penalty would have been given if the challenge had been made on a liverpool player. chelsea's fran kirby says her problems with fatigue left her so exhausted she couldn't even take her dog for a five minute walk. she'sjoined up with england ahead of their world cup qualifiers next month, but isn't part of the playing squad as she continues to monitor her health. kirby spent nine months out of football after being diagnosed with a heart condition at the end of 2019. she hasn't played since february ths year. but says she's now "feeling good". progressing in a "safe way". and hopes to be involved in some training sessions in the coming weeks. that's all the sport for now. the governor of the luhansk region

of eastern ukraine has said russian troops are continuing their slow advance towards the centre of the strategically important city of severo—donetsk. around 15 thousand civilians are thought to still be in the, where all critical infrastructure has been destroyed. it comes as eu leaders have ended weeks of wrangling about how to reduce their reliance on russian energy by agreeing a compromise deal to ban immediately more than two—thirds of oil imports from moscow. i'm joined now byjames waterhouse in kyiv — first how has that eu ban on russian oil been receive there? i was just speaking to an hungarian mp from hungary's governing party on a position which is, set apart. yes. president zelensky's _ a position which is, set apart. yes. president zelensky's office - a position which is, set apart. 111 president zelensky�*s office had said president zelensky's office had said three things. too little, not enough and too late. this has long been a

source of anger, irritation at best for the government of ukraine. back injanuary, when russia was building its troops around ukraine, along the borders, ukraine wanted sanctions to try to put moscow. the west said they only work in response to something and that something has of course, happened. a full—scale invasion with fighting raging in the east. yes, today is a sizeable intervention from the european union where two thirds to start with of imported russian oil will be blocked. that will go up to 90%. that will have a direct effect on the russian war machine but hungary has a sort of put its foot on the brakes on a blanket ban for a number of reasons. is very reliant on russian oil and natural gas. but also the prime minister is an ally of vladimir putin so he is trying to

straddle both sides here. similar to what turkey tries to do. trying to straddle both sides of this conflict. as a result, the measure taken by the eu has been shrunk and frankly, hungary has achieved some kind of win here. nevertheless, the effects of the actions from the west will influence the battlefield. i think it will be some time before thatis think it will be some time before that is realised on a ground level as the fighting very much rages on, as the fighting very much rages on, as russia looks to achieve its initial priority athlete of taking the eastern donbas region. you have been looking — the eastern donbas region. you have been looking at _ the eastern donbas region. you have been looking at the _ the eastern donbas region. you have been looking at the issue _ the eastern donbas region. you have been looking at the issue of - been looking at the issue of prisoner exchanges and you have spoken to a ukrainian who has been recently released. what were they saying? it recently released. what were they sa in: ? : , recently released. what were they sa in: ? . , ., recently released. what were they sa inl? ., ., saying? it was quite a remarkable sto . the saying? it was quite a remarkable story. the details _ saying? it was quite a remarkable story. the details are _ saying? it was quite a remarkable story. the details are murky i saying? it was quite a remarkable story. the details are murky in i story. the details are murky in terms of prisoner of war numbers along with casualties and fatalities in this war. we know thousands of

soldiers on both sides have been captured and we are talking hundreds, talking about hundreds being exchanged in official negotiations. we have heard the story of one ukrainian soldier who was taken, early on in the invasion, as he defended the city of mariupol. metal scaffolding. holding together hlib's broken pelvis. he also broke his jaw, and lost vision in one eye. hlib is onlyjust taking his first steps. two months ago, he was defending mariupol, with the marines, watching for the enemy. translation: i turned my head and saw a tank aimed at me. i i saw a bright flash. ifelt the building collapsing. he survived, but was captured.

no one knew whether he was dead or alive until this video was posted online by his captors. he was taken to a hospital in russian occupied territory. translation: they held a dagger on my leg, at my throat, - and led to my ear and said, "it would be nice to cut off your ear". they did it to nearly everyone. i couldn't feed myself because my jaw was broken, i couldn't sit up. some nurses were taunting me by leaving food down in front of me and saying, "try and eat that, you lowlife ukrainian". translation: we were lying there without any painkillers or anything. | so only my faith and the understanding that i had to survive helped me to carry on. singing. while hlib suffered,

his church in poltava prayed. he has been involved here since he was a boy. translation: i knew there were only two ways out of mariupol. _ death or captivity. all that remained was to pray. the war has brought a lot of suffering, a lot of families are waiting for their sons to return. we pray and we suffer. after 17 days, hlib was released in a prisoner exchange. translation: the driver approached, patted us and said, "calm down, i guys, you're in ukraine". then i cried and tears streamed down my face. i was very happy. i still could not believe that i was in ukraine, that i was exchanged, that i was in a place where you can breathe freely. in war, capture is an occupational

hazard for a soldier. this conflict has seen people, citizens, taken by the russians as they tried to do two things. either use them as currency for prisoner exchanges, and that seems to have worked in some cases, but also to try and crush their resistance, their fight. and that hasn't been so successful. translation: | want to go backj and continue fighting for ukraine to help bring us victory over russia. james waterhouse, bbc news, poltava. in the last couple of hours to russian prisoners of war have been sent to 11 and a half years in prison in a court in the north—eastern region. they both operated a mobile missile launcher earlier on in this invasion and it is notjust the ukrainians pursuing war crimes proceedings. the russians

have set up special tribunal is in the occupied territories and, as long as bedside continue that endeavour, that will complicate any future negotiations in prisoner exchanges. thank you very much. teachers call for more children in england to be given free school meals as families struggle with the cost of living. the prime minister remains under pressure of a downing street lockdown parties as the number of conservative mps calling on him to resign increases. andy murray speaks out about us gun laws and says school shooting in texas last week made him incredibly upset. european football's governing body, uefa, has commissioned an independent inquiry into the chaotic scenes that delayed saturday's champions league final between liverpool and real madrid in paris. it comes after french officials yesterday blamed liverpool supporters with fake tickets for the disruption. but the liverpool chairman has demanded an apology and called the organisation of the event one of the worst security

collapses in recent memory. james reynolds reports. how did the entry to the stade de france descend into chaos? why did the french police use tear gas and pepper spray against liverpool fans? in a press conference yesterday, france's sports minister, amelie oudea—castera, continued to blame ticketless liverpool fans and fake tickets for the issues. this is disputed by fans, and the club, whose chairman has demanded an apology. writing to ms oudea—castera, tom werner said... he added...

uefa will now carry out its own review to examine what it describes as the decision—making, responsibility and behaviour of all parties involved. liverpool fans caught up in saturday's trouble have reacted cautiously. there has to be a little bit of a, "well, we got this wrong" from uefa and the french authorities so far in terms of what they have claimed. if there needs to be an independent report, then what they have claimed so far, they must know, is inaccurate. it's important that that bit happens as well. i'm pleased that there will be an independent report, if indeed it is truly independent. but within france, there are questions about the government's actions and explanations. the country's independent police commissioners union has told the bbc that supporters were not the main

problem, and pointed to a need for more officers on the ground. the interior minister says that in future, tickets to major events will be digital. the authorities in france will be under great pressure to get their procedures right ahead of next year when the same venue will host the opening match of the men's rugby union world cup. and all eyes will once again be on the french capital a year later when the world heads to paris for the summer olympic games. james reynolds, bbc news. new guidance has been issued to health professionals in response to the outbreak of monkeypox. the uk health security agency says that people with monkeypox symptoms should not have sex and are urged to avoid close contact with others until their lesions have healed and any scabs have dried off. it follows 71 cases of monkeypox identified in england over the weekend bringing the total number of confirmed infections

across the uk to 179. the canadian government has introduced tough new legislation to crack down on the sale, transfer, and importation of handguns. rifle magazines will also be limited to no more than five rounds. the country's prime minister, justin trudeau, said there was no reason anyone needed guns in their everyday lives except for hunting or sports shooting. he said the government had a duty to act against rising gun violence. we are introducing legislation to implement a national freeze on handgun ownership.— implement a national freeze on handgun ownership. what this means is that it will — handgun ownership. what this means is that it will no _ handgun ownership. what this means is that it will no longer _ handgun ownership. what this means is that it will no longer be _ is that it will no longer be possible to buy, sell, transfer or import handguns anywhere in canada. canada's safety minister has been telling us more about the new legislation he introduced to parliament. in short this is the most sweeping legislation that we have introduced

on gun policy and a generation. it provides for a national freeze on handguns, in a way that will have a decisive and immediate impact to reduce the alarming trend around handgun violence in the country. it takes on organised crime including some of the provisions you mentioned in your introductory comments. we are going to make sure we raise maximum penalties against serious offenders who use guns as part of their criminal endeavours. and we are also going to tackle gender—based violence in connection with gun violence by introducing what we call red flag protocols which will allow anyone to go to court to seize guns and revoke licences where the individual who is the possessor of that license poses a threat to anyone or to themselves and when you combine these measures with the other things that we have done, like banning ar 15 like we did two years ago, right across the country, as well as a $250 million

building safer communities fund to address causes, this is a sweeping comprehensive strategy. you may remember seven—year—old aneeshwar, the budding conservationist who told us all about his mission to raise awareness of nature. he was even dubbed "the next david attenborough" after wowing judges on this year's britain's got talent. now he's been to meet his hero — the wildlife presenter steve backshall, as our climate editorjustin rowlatt reports. it�*s a huge honour to give you your first yes. - 0k! i say yes. it�*s a yes from me. thank you so much. and you have four yeses. looking at youngsters like aneeshwar and seeing how they've got hooked into some of the really big problem our planet faces is the most exciting thing about myjob. because, ultimately, they are going to be the next generation making big changes. and there are young people who are not afraid to engage with climate change, with plastic pollution, with overfishing. with all of the big problems that we may shy away from. and that is so, so important.

you are about to meet your hero. how do you feel? i�*m feeling amazing, right now. steve backshall! it's so, so good to see you. it�*s great to see you, too. well, you are going to be my warm—up act today, aren't you? yeah. amazing, amazing. i have been so, so excited watching you developing into like the greatest young conservationist ever. what's the plan? what are you going to do for us today? i�*m going to first start talking about sharks and then i�*m going to converge into megalodons, and then i�*m going to say now, i�*m going to welcome the one and only, yes, it�*s our hero, steve backshall. and then you�*ll come in.

nice. you know, on stage, we've actually got like a megalodon jaw that you can use, you can talk about. wow. and i am even going to talk about what megalodon means. ah. it�*s going to mean big teeth. that's right. ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage aneeshwar kunchala. i hi. did you know that sharks have been living before the dinosaurs? wow, that�*s really long ago. we need to help all these sharks so they can swim gracefully in our oceans. and so we learn more about this, welcome the one and only, our hero, steve backshall! i don't know about you lot, but my cute capacitors are filled to overload. that's me done for the rest of the day. cutting down trees,

polluting the seas, poaching the animals excessively. we need to stop getting it wrong. tell me, how did you get interested in animals and the environment? it started just when i was like four. i saw a dead whale dying from plastic. and i felt really sad for that and i wanted to help it. so i started with conservation and all like that. so we would spread awareness about all these creatures, just like the creatures in your fish tank, like the turtle. so what is it about nature that you love so much? ijust love nature because they have superpowers. just like the turtle can sleep underwater. well done, the turtle! so, aneeshwar, what is your favourite animal? hard to say, but i think i like sharks. so, in a way, you are meeting one of your heroes now,

because you are meeting sharks right now, aren't you? yeah. tell me, aneeshwar, because you are a bit of wildlife expert, aren't you? what animals can you see in this fish tank? i see a gold—sided fish. oh, that�*s a quick parrot fish. i love that one. and look over there. there is a stingray just above your head. just above my head? yeah. so what is your plan, now, because you are pretty much conquering the world, aren't you? people are saying you are going to be the next david attenborough. if i get one step better, i�*m going to turn into the next david attenborough — for real. well, that is amazing. you have already done something pretty awesome by being the first aneeshwar. and you are well on the road. a new study on the best time of day for exercise suggests women enjoy greater benefits in the morning, while men get more out

of it in the evening. according to the researchers, who monitored 60 people, differences in hormones, in biological clocks and sleep—wake cycles between the sexes, could all play a role — but it's not clear exactly why men and women's responses to the timing of exercise were so different, and the study concludes more research is needed to find out more. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello again. once again we are looking at a day of sunshine and showers. today, some of the showers will be heavy and thundery and slow—moving. low pressure is firmly in charge of our weather. we have this weather front bringing rain across the outer hebrides and into northern ireland. the cloud will continue to break. we will see further sunny spells developing and it will dry up, a touch, and south—west england during the afternoon, but the rain persisting across northern ireland with temperatures between 12—17 celsius and breezy across southern counties. this evening and overnight, showers will fade but we will keep a few coming in from the north sea

and a band of rain moves out of northern ireland, clips southern scotland, moves across the isle of man into north—west england and wales. clear skies in between so some patchy mist and fog forming here and there. that will lift quite rapidly tomorrow morning. if we pick up this band of rain, it pushes out of wales, continues into the midlands moving south eastwards, turning more showery in nature. we will see further showers develop. some will be heavy and thundery. but there will be fewer showers tomorrow than today and there will be a bit more sunshine. highs of 13—19 celsius. moving from wednesday into thursday, we can see we have a weather front not too far away from the south—west of england and another one coming in from the atlantic into northern ireland. so any mist and fog first thing on thursday lifts rapidly, there will be dry weather around with isolated showers, cloud building as we go through the course of the day and we'll start to see some rain coming in across northern ireland. by the time the beacons are lit in the early evening, we might see some of that clipping the west of scotland.

during the course of friday, we have all of that across parts of scotland and northern england. we have some showers coming up from the south. in between, some dry weather, some sunshine, with highs of 11—22 celsius. as we head into the weekend there is some uncertainty in the forecast as to where exactly we will see the showers because of this one heading south and this one heading north. but it looks like we will see some showers across southern england. the heaviest of those will be during the course of sunday. in between, some sunshine around and, in that sunshine, it will feel quite warm, so keep tuned to the forecast. like our line has just come to an end there.

this is bbc news. the headlines: former cabinet minister andrea leadsom becomes the latest conservative mp to publically criticise the prime minister over downing street lockdown parties. teachers call for more children in england to be given free school meals — as families struggle with the cost of living. holidays, weddings and honeymoons ruined — as thousands lose out to major travel disruption. people will feel, is this going to happen to me? am i going to be one of the ones caught up in this chaos? and that can only be damaging for the industry itself. european union leaders agree on a sanctions plan to block more than two—thirds of russian oil imports.

andy murray, who as a child survived the dunblane school shooting, speaks out about us gun laws — and says the shooting in texas last week made him "incredibly upset". surely at some stage you do something different. like, you can't keep approaching the problem, you know, by buying more guns and having more guns in the country. and, coming up, a royal lesson in style — we take a look the queen's iconic fashion sense. the former cabinet minister, andrea leadsom, has become the most prominent conservative mp, so far, to air criticism of borisjohnson, following the publication of sue gray�*s report into parties and gatherings at downing street durinmg lockdown. in a statement sent

to her constituents, ms leadsom said there had been "unacceptable failures of leadership that cannot be tolerated and are the responsibility she didn't explicitly call for him to step down as prime minister, but said tory mps show now decide on the right course of action to restore confidence in the government. our political correspondent, alex forsyth, is in westminsterfor us. how forsyth, is in westminsterfor us. significant is this intervention? how significant is this intervention?- how significant is this intervention? . ., how significant is this intervention? : . ., , how significant is this intervention? . ., intervention? andrea leadsom is a former cabinet _ intervention? andrea leadsom is a former cabinet minister, _ intervention? andrea leadsom is a former cabinet minister, but i intervention? andrea leadsom is a former cabinet minister, but also l former cabinet minister, but also somebody who up until this point has been pretty loyal to borisjohnson. been pretty loyal to boris johnson. in been pretty loyal to borisjohnson. in this letter to her constituents she does not call for him to quit, we must make that clear, but she is a very critical of his leadership, and she does talk about the fact that each of her conservative colleagues must now decide on the right course of action to try to restore some trust and confidence in

the government. so it is a critical intervention from andrea leadsom, a number of mps who have come out and voice their criticisms is that sue gray report was published last week. we are now on 27 mps have called on the prime minister had to quit, with a number of other mps critical of his leadership. there were a number of conservative his who said they would load and reservejudgment until they saw the full detail and at the sue gray report. they have that now and they are now responding to their constituents. what we don't know is how many mps have submitted a letter calling for a vote of no confidence in the prime minister. that is a very confidential process. it would take 54 conservative mps to trigger a vote of no confidence, but it does feel like there is a steady keeping up of the number at this point. keeping up of the number at this oint. ~ : , keeping up of the number at this oint. 1 . , ., ., , ., point. what is going on in terms of what seems _ point. what is going on in terms of what seems to _ point. what is going on in terms of what seems to be _ point. what is going on in terms of what seems to be building - point. what is going on in terms of i what seems to be building momentum and the timing of it? of course, the

former attorney generaljeremy right, who yesterday published a 2000 word statement online, would seem to be that he had pulled back and take in stock, considered all the arguments and come to his view that the prime minister should resign. so it feels like there has been a bit of a slow burn. having said all of that, there is a question of how far this all goes. some allies of the prime minister said this morning we have felt like we are on the brink of a no confidence vote before, and it hasn't happened. the whole process is confidential. but i think there is confidential. but i think there is a bit of discontent among some conservative mps. i do not think we will see much movement ahead of the jubilee, but when parliament returns next week it will be really interesting to see what mps are saying, what are lies of the prime minister are saying. of course, there are a lot of critics of boris johnson, but there are people loyal to him too. just

johnson, but there are people loyal to him too-— to him too. just to bring you some comments — to him too. just to bring you some comments from _ to him too. just to bring you some comments from the _ to him too. just to bring you some comments from the shadow i to him too. just to bring you some i comments from the shadow transport secretary, louise haigh. it is up to tory mps to remove borisjohnson. she is asking how much longer they can prop up this feckless government who are struggling to tackle issues facing people at the moment. on that point, it is tory mps alone who can decide borisjohnson and's fight at the moment. it is not clear how things are going, even if the number of letters is met to trigger the list without of no confidence with that but that is very different from a majority of mps calling for him to go. ii a ma'ority of mps calling for him to no. a ma'ority of mps calling for him to to. ~ a ma'ority of mps calling for him to 0, ~ , ., , a ma'ority of mps calling for him to go. if 54 m please submit a letter callin: for go. if 54 m please submit a letter calling for a _ go. if 54 m please submit a letter calling for a vote, _ go. if 54 m please submit a letter calling for a vote, that _ go. if 54 m please submit a letter calling for a vote, that doubt i calling for a vote, that doubt happens, usually pretty quickly, and thenit happens, usually pretty quickly, and then it would have to be half the parliamentary party plus one, that would be 180 mps that would have to agree that borisjohnson should no

longer be their leader. only at that point without trigger a leadership contest. allies of the prime minister think there is no alternative, supporters of boris johnson say there is no plan to replace him. it is true that there is no consensus in the party about what should come next. i do not think that gets away from the fact that there is the steady stream of mps, and i'm being critical of their leader. that is damaging in itself. as much as a borisjohnson wanted to draw a line in the sand and as a partygate is finished, it quite clearly for many conservative mps isn't. teachers are calling for more children in england to be urgently given free school meals — in order to support families struggling with the cost of living. they say the programme should be expanded to include all families who receive universal credit. in a letter to ministers, uniions are warning that more than 2.5 million children live in households that miss meals

or struggle to access healthy food, and insist now is the "right moment" to act. alice key reports. lunch is served at this half term holiday club in stockport. staff here are responsible for keeping 20 children a day fed and entertained. but as rising prices start to hit parents' pockets, there are fears that without more support, children could go hungry. we know that a lot of the families who come here are living in food poverty. and have certainly been impacted since the cost of living increases, as well. and many of them aren't on free school meals. ourfood banks have always run in the mornings and suddenly people are asking if they can come at night, because people are working full time and still can't make ends meet. in a letter to the government, teaching unions say they want the free school meals scheme extended to include all children from families who receive universal credit. they say missing meals can have a serious impact on concentration and behaviour during lessons. to prepare and provide a hot, nutritious school meal every single

day for every single child is a way of creating a break between food poverty and also healthy young people who can thrive at school and do well at school because, without good food, you just don't survive or do well at school. currently in england, all infant state school pupils up to year 2 get free school meals during term time. currently in england, all infant state school pupils up to year 2 get free school meals during term time. but from year 3 upwards, your household income must be below £7,400 a year. in northern ireland, the cap is set higher at 14,000 a year. and scotland and wales have recently committed to rolling out free meals for all primary pupils. the latest call for change follows footballer marcus rashford's successful campaign during the pandemic to extend free school meal vouchers during holidays. but even he admits there is a long way to go. the department for education says more families than ever now have access to free school meals

and they are providing over £15 billion of support to those hit hardest by rising costs. but teachers in england now urgently want to see the government go further. alice key, bbc news. kate anstey from the child poverty action group has been telling us about the scale of the problem and the cost of delivering school meals not only to children from families in receipt of universal credit, but to all children. there are about1 million children living below the poverty line who do not currently qualify for free school meals because that threshold is far too low, as the report shared, it's 7400 a year, so many working families who are living in poverty miss out. at child poverty action group, we believe the most important intervention would be for universal provision. this is currently being rolled out in wales and scotland, so every child in primary school in wales and scotland will receive a universal free school meal.

but as a very important first step here in england, we need to look at those families struggling on low incomes, so extending to families currently in receipt of universal credit or legacy benefits would be an important first step and a way to make sure we are reaching those families that are being hit by the cost of living crisis. an expansion to all families on universal credit would cost around 600 or 700 million, which is a relatively small amount in comparison to some of the other sort of packages we are seeing being put in place. but it is really significant and it would be a really important intervention for families. families at the moment are paying about £450 a year per child if they want their child to have a school dinner. we know that is a huge amount for some families. we've heard stories from lots of families simply unable to cover those costs and are struggling day to day. we believe this is an important package forfamilies, an important first step in providing

those families living on a low income with that security of knowing their children will have a meal each day. and that security, i guess, of having one less thing to worry about. passengers are facing more long queues at check—in and security as well as major delays at travel terminals around the country — as thousands of families attempt to make their getaway for the school holidays. dozens of flights have already been cancelled this week — some at the last minute — as airlines and airports, in particular, have been struggling to cope with a surge in passenger demand and staff shortages. let's speak now to our correspondent, greg mckenzie, who's at stansted airport. what's the picture? here at stansted. — what's the picture? here at stansted, plains _ what's the picture? here at stansted, plains are - what's the picture? here at stansted, plains are taking | what's the picture? here at i stansted, plains are taking off what's the picture? here at - stansted, plains are taking off and landing on time here. just one councilflat here on

landing on time here. just one council flat here on saturday evening. as for going forward, there hasn't been any major cancellations or delays here. —— just one cancelled flight here on saturday evening. they estimate 80,000 people travelling from stansted per day, thatis travelling from stansted per day, that is up on pre—pandemic levels. ultimately across the whole country about 2 million people will travel this week, partly due to the platinumjubilee this week, partly due to the platinum jubilee holidays and the half term. that along with the fact that most eu countries have now lifted restrictions on coronavirus testing, it has given people the confidence to travel again, and many people are simply doing that. the problem you have is that many airports are still recovering from where staff had been furloughed and had simply chosen not to come back to work. in particular, manchester airport. to be cancelling six flights a day. they said they would

be cancelling up to 43 flights up until the 30th ofjune. that will have a knock—on effect on people arriving at the airport. countries like spain, turkey and greece affected at manchester in particular. elsewhere, some delays at edinburgh airport. gatwick and heathrow, again, longer queues to be expected. their main advice is to get to the airport early and contact your airline before you get there. one union boss has said that the government and the industry are blaming each other and had been pre—warned about the surge in passenger numbers months ago, and is now time that both got round the table and assaulted this problem. ultimately, it is a staffing issue. the unions are saying you can'tjust recruit staff to run an airport, they need to be trained and more importantly security checked. and

that can take weeks. the picture from different airports around the country. 11. from different airports around the count . : , , ., ., country. a brief statement from gatwick: _ country. a brief statement from gatwick: they _ country. a brief statement from gatwick,: they do _ country. a brief statement from gatwick,: they do say _ country. a brief statement from gatwick,: they do say get i country. a brief statement from gatwick,: they do say get there | gatwick,: they do say get there early. they say this is typically three hours for long—haul and 2—2.5 for short—haul. the sun's travel editor, lisa minot, has been telling my colleague, annita mcveigh, what the situation is like for people travelling from the uk now. there are still issues and still problems, and we're still seeing people getting their flights cancelled at very late notice. i'vejust had a sun reader email into me to say that she was meant to fly on sunday with tui. the flight was then cancelled and she was then told she'd be flying on monday. they get through security, they're in duty free, and they get a text to say that the plane is smaller than they were anticipating and that they would not be flying.

and that's their holiday with three children completely ruined. and it's stories like that that are really emotive and really are going to be very damaging to the travel industry, just as it's trying to get back on its feet, because people will feel is this going to happen to me? am i going to be the one who are caught up in this chaos? and that can only be damaging for the industry in itself. so much disruption and so much disappointment, especially when perhaps many people are getting away for the first time or trying to get away for the first time in quite a long time. should airlines be selling seats, lisa, if they're not coping? i think that very much is the case here. i mean, we've already seen british airways, you know, preemptively cancel lots of flights. easyjet have done the same. but in their case, you know, these 240 flights, they're cancelled less than two weeks notice. so they're going to have to pay out now. they're going to compensate passengers for having cancel them at such short notice. they must have known that they had a certain number of flights in their schedule, and if they didn't have the staff there to actually run those flights, then that is a really serious

failing on their half. in terms of, you know, the other support staff in airports. i mean, it is more difficult for an airline to anticipate whether or not the baggage handling company or the cleaning company is going to have enough staff. but i mean, it's been, you know, across the entire sector that we've seen these staff shortages. so, yes, why did they sell flights? why did they take people's money? you know, people gave them money in good faith only to find that their flight has then being cancelled. we'll be answering your questions on the latest situation with travel just after 3:30. if there's something you want to ask our travel experts or are wondering about, get in touch with the hashtag #bbcyourquestions, or email yourquestions@bbc.co.uk. the headlines on bbc news: former cabinet minister andrea leadsom becomes the latest conservative mp to publically criticise borisjohnson over downing street lockdown parties — saying he showed unacceptable failures of leadership. teachers call for more children in england to be given free school meals — as families struggle with the cost of living.

andy murray, who as a child survived the dunblane school shooting, speaks out about us gun laws — week made him incredibly upset. sport centre. we will start with the story you just mentioned and at the headlines, andy murray telling the bbc about the recent mass shooting at a school in texas, bringing back his own memories of surviving the dunblane massacre in 1996. he said he believes the issue of gun crime had to be met with a different approach. i had something on the radio the other day, it was a child from that school. i experienced a similar thing when i was at dunblane. a teacher coming out and waving all the children on the tables and telling them to go hide. it was a

kid telling exactly the same story about how she survived it. they were saying they go through these drills as young children. as was like, how? how is that normal that children should be having to go through drills in case somebody comes into school with a gun. i don't get it. neal skupski and his partner wesley koolhof have lost their men's doubles quarter final at the french open. bbut there's another pair involving a british player involved in the last eight. joe salisbury and partner rajeev ram of the usa, who are the top seeds, are a set up against ivan dodig and austin krajicek in their match. later today, rafael nadal and novak djokovic go head to go in the men's singles quarter—finals. uefa have commissioned an independent review to find out what went wrong with policing fans at the champions league final between liverpool and real madrid on saturday. french authorities

came in for heavy criticism when they said that widespread ticket fraud and local youths forcing their way through gates were to blame. liverpool chairman tom werner has since written to the french sports minister "demanding an apology" for the comments. everton manager frank lampard has been fined £30,000 for comments after his side's 2—0 defeat to liverpool last month. referee stuart attwell chose not to penalise a challenge on anthony gordon during the game, with lampard suggesting in a post—match interview that a penalty would have been given if the challenge had been made on a liverpool player. chelsea's fran kirby says her problems with fatigue left her so exhausted she couldn't even take her dog for a five—minute walk. she'sjoined up with england ahead of their world cup qualifiers next month, but isn't part of the playing squad as she continues to monitor her health. kirby spent nine months out of football after being diagnosed with a heart condition at the end of 2019. she hasn't played since february ths year, but says she's now "feeling good"

progressing in a "safe way" and hopes to be involved in some training sessions in the coming weeks. that's all the sport for now. only one police force in the uk is meeting a target to answer 90% of 999 calls in under 10 seconds, new data has shown. with me now is our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford. tell us more about what is happening. this is a new target that has been set. the happening. this is a new target that has been set-— has been set. the idea is that olice has been set. the idea is that police forces _ has been set. the idea is that police forces should - has been set. the idea is that police forces should try i has been set. the idea is that police forces should try and i has been set. the idea is that i police forces should try and answer a 999 call within ten seconds. obviously, if someone is desperate, they need to get that phone call and as soon as possible. forces should try to get 90% of those 999 calls answered within ten seconds, but only one force, even and somerset, is meeting that target. in fact, only 11 forces averaged under ten seconds. when the force, northumbria

police, its average time was 33 seconds to answer a call. one force, humberside, only 2% of 999 calls were answered within ten seconds. the idea is that by seeing how other forces are doing, forces might be able to readjust their resources and try to improve their own performance and get closer to that ten second mark. there are some problems that forces are encountering— prank calls, people making inappropriate use of the 999 service. some technical issues. some bt line seems to have a built in delay going to police forces, which is adding seven seconds on. they hope as this will get forces to concentrate and try to improve this particular service. you sa it is a improve this particular service. you say it is a new _ improve this particular service. you say it is a new target. targets were scrapped back in 2010, but now some are brought back and forth up what is the thinking behind it?—

is the thinking behind it? policing was very target — is the thinking behind it? policing was very target driven. _ is the thinking behind it? policing was very target driven. in - is the thinking behind it? policing was very target driven. in the - was very target driven. in the 19905, was very target driven. in the 1990s, all through the naughties, we were constantly talking about police tacos. police forces were sort of gaming the system, adjusting how they would specifically meet targets. that was thought to be not a good idea, so in 2010 all targets were abandoned. now they are coming back into fashion. priti patel has introduced the specific target, we don't know if it will lead to more targets. but there is a risk that is police forces try to risk avoid getting negative targets, they will take a negative view to policing. eu leaders have ended weeks of wrangling about how to reduce their reliance on russian energy by agreeing a compromise deal to ban immediately more than two—thirds of oil imports from moscow. a total embargo was blocked by hungary, which is heavily dependant on russian supplies. but eu officials say imports will be cut by 90 % by the end of the year.

our correspondent, bethany bell, gave me this update from brussels. well, this is a move that the eu says will severely hurt russia's ability to pay for its war efforts in ukraine. this is a move that will cost russia billions a year and it's really the toughest set of measures that the eu has put in place against moscow since the war in ukraine began. as you say, it's not a complete oil embargo of russian oil into the eu, but all in all it will be about 90%, they say, to begin with. it will be an immediate ban on the oil that comes into the eu by sea. that's about two—thirds. and then there is an exemption for the oil that comes in by pipeline. but countries like germany and poland have volunteered to wind down the oil that they receive by pipeline by the end of the year. and that will leave just about 10%, which comes in to countries that are landlocked, like hungary, the czech republic and slovakia.

and hungary had been one of the countries that was really against this oil ban, because it said it would really hurt the hungarian economy. the hungarian leader viktor orban has welcomed his country's exemption from the eu oil embargo against russia. our correspondent in budapest, nick thorpe, told me more. viktor orban has it really stuck to a very stubborn position throughout these negotiations, he said basically that hungary gets 64% of its oil, and it is not alone in that, slovakia, the czech republic. he was also more public in his opposition to this initial proposal from the eu. he says because hungary gets this particularly high sulphur rich oil, russian oil, through their pipeline, that it would have cost hungary hundreds of millions of

euros to change that technology and it would have taken many years. at one point, he was suggesting perhaps that money could be paid to hungary in orderfor it that money could be paid to hungary in order for it to sign that money could be paid to hungary in orderfor it to sign up that money could be paid to hungary in order for it to sign up to sanctions. in the end, the eu commission chose a different option, exempting for the time being that oil pipeline. viktor orban this morning has been presenting that is a great victory for his negotiating position. the war in ukraine has seen notjust soldiers captured but civilians too. chips for prisoner of war exchanges orforced by the russians to accept their occupation. one soldier told the bbc�*s correspondent in kyiv, james waterhouse, his story. metal scaffolding holding together

salary as it does so. tomorrow will also be a day of sunshine and showers, more than today, temperatures ranging from 13—19. you are watching bbc news. the headlines: the former cabinet minister andrea lets them becomes the latest conservative mp to publicly criticise borisjohnson over downing street lockdown parties. saying he showed unacceptable failures of leadership. teachers call for more children in england to be given free school meals as families struggle with the cost of living. holidays, weddings and honeymoons are relearned as thousands lose out to major travel disruption. european union leaders agree on a sanctions plan to block more than two thirds of russian oil imports. andy murray who, as a child, survived the dunblane school shooting speaks out about us gun

laws and the shooting in texas last week made him incredibly upset. and coming up, a royal lesson in style. we take a look at the queen's iconic fashion sense. survivors of rape and serious sexual assaults are being treated as suspects by the legal system according to a report from the data privacy watchdog. in the report, the uk's information commissioner calls for police and prosecutors to immediately stop collecting extraordinary amounts of personal information like medical records and school reports from victims. our home affairs correspondent reports. it's known as the digital strip search. many rape complainants have to consent to hand over their phones as part of the criminal investigation. they are also being asked for a whole range of personal information. we spoke to one complainant whose case didn't get to trial and who has waived her right to anonymity to speak out. they got all of my medical records, which, unfortunately,

are quite substantial. my social care records and a complete download of my mobile phone. looking back on it, it is such a violation. it felt as though i was the one that was being investigated, i was the one on trial, i was the one that had committed a crime. this trawl by police and prosecutors should stop immediately, says the uk's information commissioner, whose job it is to uphold information rights. he says that because victims are being treated as suspects, they are withdrawing from criminal cases. and this is contributing to the low conviction rates for rape. police chiefs and the crown prosecution service say they are working to improve the way complainants are treated and to rebuild confidence in the system. and the home office says there will be a public

consultation on requests for personal information. june kelly, bbc news. more passengers facing long queues at check—in and security as well as delays are travel terminals around the country as thousands of families attempt to make their getaway for the school holidays. dozens of flights have already been cancelled this week, some at the last minute as airlines and airports in particular are being struggling to cope with the shortfall in stuff. airports and airlines have really struggled with recruitment recently. cabin crew, baggage handlers, security staff, even the people who move the bounce around so you get on board move the bounce around so you get on boa rd safely. move the bounce around so you get on board safely. manchester airport has repeatedly been in the headlines with massive queues holding passengers up but problems have also been reported at bristol and gatwick over the weekend and add lots of other airports. over the weekend and add lots of otherairports. it over the weekend and add lots of other airports. it is a similar story. a struggle to recruit staff, and get them security cleared on time. have a look at this. this was

the scene at manchester airport yesterday. look at that queue. and this was bristol over the weekend. imagine that. if you're the kind of person who hates being packed into the crowd. and, on top of airport staffing issues, we are also seen the airlines cancelled flights. now, and he was offered an alternative flight and his was called off but thatjust flight and his was called off but that just didn't work with his booked accommodation so that is this first family holiday in three years is not happening. we first family holiday in three years is not happening.— first family holiday in three years is not happening. we said we would fly anywhere- _ is not happening. we said we would fly anywhere- no — is not happening. we said we would fly anywhere. no flights _ is not happening. we said we would fly anywhere. no flights anyway - is not happening. we said we would fly anywhere. no flights anyway for| fly anywhere. no flights anyway for three days. it is notjust, i'm sure i will get the money back for the holiday. it is also the fact that we spend 200 quid on hotel last night. we spent, you know, 100 quid on meal last night and probably 150 quid this morning. you know, parking cost is £150 was to buy probably will never any of that back again so i'm just hugely disappointed by how they handled this whole situation and the

position they put the customer services people here into. oh, the money and the disappointment, isn't it? easyjet have preemptively had to cancel about 240 half—term flights, in their words, in order to be able to provide a reliable service. in other words, not enough staff, as well as it and air traffic control issues. ba, tui and vueling have also had to make cancellations, and airlines are facing criticism. they were given furlough support over the pandemic to keep staff on, and these big getaway pinch periods have been in the diary well in advance, so why are they still not able to cope? it's important to recognise this is notjust a uk problem. this is happening in many parts of the world. we've heard in the last few days about dublin airport and amsterdam, close to home, but if you look around the internet, you can see rapidly the usa has had problems. australia, other parts of europe. this shows the industry, as a whole, is really struggling to get back to normal staffing levels. we saw restrictions on travel

removed quite late in the normal period of planning to resource up for peak season. and it's not a matter of putting a job advert out and recruiting people straight off the street. complicated training is required, security vetting is required. processes and that become much more complicated. and when airlines and airports earned no money for two years, they didn't actually have the financial means to do that in advance, proactively, when they were simply bleeding, basically. the shadow transport secretary thinks the government to do more to help the aviation industry. the government _ help the aviation industry. i12 government happen one time and time again that thesejob government happen one time and time again that these job losses and the lack of skilled workers from the industry would lead to these kind of delays with other countries put in support and they are seeing a much stronger recovery for the industry and they are not seen the same kinds of delays that we are so what labour are calling for now is a sector specific support for the industry to bring industry and unions together for a sector recovery strategy to ensure we can get people trained up, recruited and ensure that people can

go on their holidays. the recruited and ensure that people can go on their holidays.— go on their holidays. the chancellor has been speaking _ go on their holidays. the chancellor has been speaking about _ go on their holidays. the chancellor has been speaking about the - go on their holidays. the chancellor| has been speaking about the issues. he said, we put in place millions of pounds of support for the travel industry in particular during the pandemic. right now there are conversations happening between the industry and ministers to make sure disruption can be eased and that is where the focus is for ministers right now. hoping to be able to bring you him speaking on tape shortly. so we will bring that to you when we get it. let's speak now, though, to sean from a trade association representing travel agents and tour operators. thanks forjoining us. what is the latest as far as you know, in terms of disruption? it as far as you know, in terms of disruation?_ disruption? it is clearly, there have been _ disruption? it is clearly, there have been a — disruption? it is clearly, there have been a number- disruption? it is clearly, there have been a number of- disruption? it is clearly, there | have been a number of airlines cancelling flights and even the vast majority fights are going head is normal that is not much consolation if you're one of the unlucky people. if you hear about a flight being cancelled and if it happens to you the airline does have obligations to you. the most important one of those as they have got to get you onto an

alternative flight and a lot of people his fights have been cancelled, that is exactly what has happened. you might see hundreds of flights cancelled but if the majority of those have been put on flights not long afterwards and that's annoying but it means you are still getting away. secondly, the airlines also have an obligation, the fight to the council by them rather than something outside of their control such as bad weather or an air traffic control strike, they can get you onto a flight quickly your dew pretty happy compensation as well so that is something to bear in mind. forflight if replacement is more than three hours later than the originalflight, something like that, it is £220 a passenger. it is not to be sniffed at so if there's four of you going, that is nearly £1000 and that is on top of the fact they've got to get to another flight or at the very least give you your money back so people need to bear that in mind also, if yourflight has been cancelled and you end up having to stay in a hotel at night and that is mostly the case of people trying to get home again, the airline has to pay for that as well

and day—to—day expenses so this regulation was brought in by the eu backin regulation was brought in by the eu back in 2040 try and stop airlines cancelling flights without good reason and because of that you do have those pretty stringent rights as a customer so it is not the best of it happens to you, i must stress it is unlikely if it will, but in my experience airlines to tend to be pretty good about explaining those rights but it is a legal obligation. and they should be displayed at check—in just to make sure you know those rights and if you check on our website or the regulations, regulation 261. so just hear that in mind that up you have those rights of things were to go wrong. 50. mind that up you have those rights of things were to go wrong. so, from what you're — of things were to go wrong. so, from what you're saying. _ of things were to go wrong. so, from what you're saying, then, _ of things were to go wrong. so, from what you're saying, then, people - what you're saying, then, people should not end up out of pocket but, of course, that can be cold comfort if it is something that you've been planning for a long time perhaps a honeymoon, wedding, whatever. in terms of why these cancellations are happening, is it basically airlines have been taking bookings that they simply have not been able to fulfil?

i think, to be fair, it is a whole range of reasons, really. inevitably, once we start travel reopening again, numbers going back to actually higher than pre—pandemic in many cases. it will cause some problems and i think that was inevitable, really full stop also, to be fair, when times are busy in the travel industry, that when you are likely to seek use, etc. if there is a technical problem and you don't have spare planes to pick up the slack so inevitably there are going to be problems.— the slack so inevitably there are going to be problems. sorry to come on foot of the _ going to be problems. sorry to come on foot of the bidder _ going to be problems. sorry to come on foot of the bidder confuses - going to be problems. sorry to come on foot of the bidder confuses me i on foot of the bidder confuses me is, yes, it is one thing having to use at airports because there are suddenly more people than had been expected there. but these not people that are just suddenly magically appearing forflights. that are just suddenly magically appearing for flights. they are seats that have been offered that surely that is planned for? you're the mother don't represent the alliance, to be fair. i wonder what your perspective is? i’ee alliance, to be fair. i wonder what your perspective is?— alliance, to be fair. i wonder what your perspective is? i've had about staffin: your perspective is? i've had about staffing levels _ your perspective is? i've had about staffing levels in _ your perspective is? i've had about staffing levels in people _ your perspective is? i've had about staffing levels in people ill - your perspective is? i've had about staffing levels in people ill due - your perspective is? i've had about staffing levels in people ill due to l staffing levels in people ill due to covid, a whole range of things that shouldn't be happening and it is also inconvenient as a customer i

stress what your rights are in that situation. if you talk about airports. some of the issues there, obviously i don't like ewing, who does? the point is busy you're going to see long queues. i've spoken to airports about this and said there are queues at certain times but the vast majority of customers are getting through security in under 20 minutes. the problem definitely seeing and i spoke to travel operators is that people are growing incredibly worried about missing their flights and getting to the airports much, much earlier than they need to so six or seven hours in some cases. that is causing problems in itself a w do not need to get to the airport that early. what you should do is take advice from your airline or airport, see what they have to say. the standard advice is to two and half hours for short—haul flights advice is to two and half hours for short—haulflights and advice is to two and half hours for short—haul flights and three for long haulflights if you do that short—haul flights and three for long haul flights if you do that you will have plenty of time and i think there is causing problems because if you imagine large numbers of people going much earlier than they need to

that of putting strains on facilities and causing different kinds of queues so you really don't need to do that. ijust want to reassure people about that. just take advice from the airport in airlines and that is what they are saying to me and that is what i would say to you as well. just back to consumer _ would say to you as well. just back to consumer rights _ would say to you as well. just back to consumer rights and _ would say to you as well. just back to consumer rights and you - would say to you as well. just back. to consumer rights and you obviously explained very well but compensation is and what the duties of the airlines, but it is, you know, a relatively tight window for people to be travelling on half term so if a flight is delayed for two days, what happens then? how much, what are someone's rights and deciding at which point they pull the plug? you'll make it 12 hours that is a cancelled flight. if you check out regulations, they are not very complicated but they do vary for various issues about how long the delay is. so it is regulation 261 but you're right full stop you don't have to wait for days and days and days. a delayed flight becomes a cancelled flight, believe that the same rights kick enforced by really would stress that it is not the

best, obviously, if you're in that type of situation but if i give you an example. if you're on a long haul flight in yourflight an example. if you're on a long haul flight in your flight is cancelled and the replacement flight, let's say, seven hours later, that is £530 compensation per passenger. on top of the fact they still have to get you a replacement flights are not the best, is it, really, but it is quite considerably. thank you very much indeed. i mentioned the chancellor has been speaking about the aviation industry. conversations are happening between ministers and people in the travel industry. we have ut people in the travel industry. 2 have put in place, obviously, billions of pounds of support for the travel industry, in particular during the pandemic. right now there are conversations happening between the industry ministers to make sure that disruption can be eased. that is where the focus is for ministers right now.

dresses one at a coronation to her vibrant coats and matching hats, the queen's style is recognised across the globe and she has become something of a fashion icon. our royal correspondent has been taking a look back at how the queen's style has changed about her 70 year reign. from the grand state occasion to classic country casual, to solid royal engagement dressing. the queen has a formula that has worked for 70 years. for close observers of her style, they see considerable fashion planning. the queen's look can be a diplomatic statement in itself. when she visited saudi arabia in the 1970s, she created a wardrobe with the designer hardy amies that would be appropriate for that tour. so we saw lots of long sleeves, lots of long lengths, she also had matching turbans as well. and she wore these outfits to events where she was one of the only

women in attendance. you know, she has really had that kind of power on the world stage and created a wardrobe to fit that role. and accessories are key to that wardrobe. there is the hat, the gloves and of course, her trusted handbag. in a quiet corner of walsall in the west midlands, the queen's favourite handbags are made. she has been loyal to the launer brand throughout her reign, as she has with many british fashion lines and designers. there is nothing like seeing her using one of our handbags at an event. it gives us great pride in the craftsmanship that we have produced that bag. the queen's coronation dress was perhaps her first big fashion moment. all eyes were on the norman hartnell design, every detail analysed. evelyn morris was 17 years old when she helped make the coronation dress, and she had a specific role on the day in westminster abbey. herjob was to ensure that the dress

looked perfect throughout. i had a better seat than most of the best of the dukes and duchesses because i didn't have a seat. i was roaming the abbey, i could go where i liked, because i was on duty. very honoured, really, and proud. and it was a lovely dress. it flowed nicely, it was cut really well. it couldn't have been better. a beautiful dress and she looked lovely in it. the embroidery, of course, very, very honoured to be part of it, really. in her 90s, where are the queen's fashion influences now? well, take a look at london fashion week in 2018. the queen, vogue editor anna wintour, and angela kelly, the personal assistant to the queen. her position here a sign of her status within the royal household. angela kelly is a designer of much of the monarch's current wardrobe and a trusted confidante to the queen. there have been few wardrobe surprises over the past 70 years. little pandering to trends.

but the queen's clothes have added to her status as a public figure. her uniformity of appearance, the way she has managed to create a uniform, essentially, for herself, her particular look, her particular style. she never felt the need to update, change with the era. essentially, she had looked the same for all these years. it's enormously reassuring. her look over 70 years has been safe, reliable, practical, and consistent. much like her reign. daniela relph, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. we are looking at an unsettled day of weather today. are looking at an unsettled day of weathertoday. it are looking at an unsettled day of weather today. it is a day of sunshine and showers. on the radar picture you can see just how extensive the showers have been, recently. nationwide. with so many

with the risk of some hail and thunder. between these showers probably a little bit more on the way of sunny spells breaking through across western areas later in the day and that should start to lift temperatures. as we get towards the end of the weather will turn a bit dry but we do have a system trying to come in from the atlantic. for thursday, many areas will have a dry day with spells of sunshine. it is going to the woman in the sunshine, too. the threat of some showers getting nearer to northern ireland as we go through thursday afternoon. temperatures higher. 19 in glasgow. around the low 20s are parts of england and wales. a few showers across north—western areas of friday but many areas again, dry, with some spells of sunshine and feeling quite warm in the sunshine 19 in glasgow, 22 top temperature around the cardiff area. looking into the weekend, probably going to see some rain move into southern areas. could be heavy and sundry and it was time to time argument across the south. the driest weather through the weekend will be across northern
