transport secretary has demanded a meeting to go fight out what's going on at uk airports. meeting to go fight out what's going on at uk airports. the prospect of serious travel disruption over thejubilee bank holiday — affecting thousands of travellers is increasingly likely. the holiday giant tui is cancelling more flights until the end ofjune — affecting more than 30,000 holiday makers. other airlines have also cancelled flights — as around two million people prepare to fly over the next few days. four days of holiday begin on thursday. four days of holiday begin on thursday. the aviation industry cut thousands ofjobs during the pandemic and staff shortages are now a huge problem as travel has picked up again. 0ur transport correspondent katy austin has the latest. the chandramani family from greater manchester couldn't wait for their first proper overseas holiday together — a five—star trip to turkey leaving tomorrow. but last night, tui texted them to say it was cancelled. absolutely devastated. i was heartbroken for myself, butjust heartbroken how i was going to explain to the girls that the holiday they've spoken nothing else for for 12
8:03 pm
months was cancelled. the water park, that's all they've spoken about. "i can't wait to wake up and go on the water park and on slides. " and it's just all taken away from them. the tour operator says advanced cancellations are aimed at providing stability amid disruption to its operation at manchester airport, which has been blamed on staff shortages at check—in and baggage reclaim. swissport, which handles tui's ground operations at manchester, said it was sorry for its part in delays and disruption. this guy's a legend. 0ne passenger took this video yesterday of a pilot out on the tarmac helping to deal with bags. passenger numbers have taken off as travel restrictions have eased, but after shedding thousands ofjobs during the pandemic, businesses have struggled to hire new staff and get them through security clearance quickly enough. an aviation recruiter told me many people had left for other sectors and there isn't the same pool of european workers post—brexit. baggage handling is
8:04 pm
a particular pinch point. every company based around in and around an airport is currently recruiting. candidates can pick and choose which vacancies they want to show an interest in, which interviews they want to attend, and employers, unfortunately, are in the situation where they are continuously having to build their talent pools in order to get the minimum numbers required each month to fill their high volume vacancies. british airways and easyjet have also removed hundreds of flights from their schedules in advance, and there have been some last—minute cancellations. prospect, the union representing staff in air—traffic control and engineering, warned things could get worse before they get better. airports insist the situation has improved in areas like security, while airlines say they're doing their best to cope with demand that's sometimes reaching 2019 levels. it's important to stress the problems we've been seeing over the last few days, you know, they're not universal, the majority of flights are leaving on time, and it's often a number of things happening,
8:05 pm
be it pressures at security, sometimes with airlines, sometimes with air—traffic control we've seen, and it's something that's notjust affecting the uk, we've seen issues in dublin, amsterdam and other places. thejubilee bank holiday means another busy few days lie ahead. international travel�*s return has encountered some turbulence so far. the race is on to smooth things out in time for the summer peak. katy austin, bbc news. let's talk to nicola davis — she had herflight on sunday rescheduled twice. tell us what happened. we manchester airport at 130 q to about four o'clock and got told that the flight had been delayed, we will move to a separate area and eventually told that the flight was cancelled and we were going to be put up in a hotel overnight. collected the following morning, originally at 5am and then

8:11 pm
strong language. saying i've repeatedly counseled advisers, that advice has been ignored, the prime minister has made not a single public reference to the ministerial code sounds like he's got a lost patience with mrjohnson. quite strong words. the prime minister has put that down to a communication error in part between their offices. if we go back to where this all comes from, this is lord geidt, is an ethics adviser to the prime minister and he's published his annual report today. as you say in it he says there is a legitimate question as to when borisjohnson got his fixed penalty from the police of a party gate, whether or not that represented a breach of the ministerial code and that is the code of conduct government ministers are expected to abide by foot an overarching part of that is they are expected to comply with the law. of course fixed penalty notice
8:12 pm
represents a breach of the law. he says there's a legitimate question there and borisjohnson should address it in public. borisjohnson has addressed it in his reply, a letter he's written to lord geidt. in it he talks about the fact that he doesn't think there was a breach of the ministerial code and that's because he says there was no intent to break the law. he corrected the record in parliament and he and his words, rightly apologise for this. that's not the only problem lord geidt has with all of this. he says that he had fled to borisjohnson's advisers that borisjohnson should engage early with this question of whether or not he broke the ministerial code. he sounds quite angry that that didn't happen. but borisjohnson goes on to say he thinks there's been a failure of communications between the two offices and perhaps that gives both sides hear enough to blame, something being lost in the ether rather than a disagreement between the two. ., , .,

8:14 pm
since then there seems to be a steady drip, drip of other conservatives adding their names to that roster of mps who want boris johnson gone, to the point we are now at 28 who have publicly called on the borisjohnson to go when not sure how many have submitted a letter to the backbench committee, the 1922 committee, 5a would trigger a vote of confidence in boris johnson's leadership. we don't know how many have put in those letters some could do it quite quietly without much fanfare. we have other mps, former cabinet colleague of borisjohnson, she was his business secretary, close allies in the brexit debate and she has written quite a scathing letter to constituents where she says there have been unacceptable failure of leadership that cannot be tolerated. she says her and her colleagues will have to decide the right course of action. that's quite cryptic, we don't know whether or not she has submitted a letter but it will be
8:15 pm
statements like that that would make number ten quite nervous, raising the prospect of mps potentially putting in those letters with little fanfare. but only the chairman of the 1922 committee dirk graham brady knows the real number and he is saying nothing publicly.- you very much. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre... good evening. what a pivotal week it could be for steve clarke and scotland with an emotional occasion at hampden park tomorrow, when they take on ukraine, in their re—arranged fixture from march, following russia's invasion of ukraine. the winner will face wales on sunday for a place in the world cup finals later this year. our sports reporter jane dougall has more. as expected the match here at hampden tomorrow night is sold out which means more than 50,000 fans, most of them scottish will be

watching on scotland take on ukraine in an emotional charge match with so much riding on it in more ways than one. for scotland it is a chance to get to the world cup playoff final against wales and scotland haven't been to a world cup 1998. earlier scotland keeper craig gordon said they will be very focused for those 90 minutes for the well of course they have sympathy for ukraine situation that will be put to 1's eye. i situation that will be put to 1's e e. ~' �* , situation that will be put to 1's eye. i think it's probably impossible _ eye. i think it's probably impossible for _ eye. i think it's probably impossible for us - eye. i think it's probably impossible for us to - eye. i think it's probably - impossible for us to actually know the full extent of everything that they're going through, that each individual has a different story. from us it's impossible to imagine. this match was originally scheduled for march but had to be postponed following russia's invasion of ukraine. many of the players based in ukraine were given permission to leave the country and take part in a month long training camp in slovenia and they of course travelled here to glasgow. forthem and they of course travelled here to glasgow. for them to be taking part

in this match is momentous. in fact, more than 2000 ukrainians who have sought refuge notjust here in scotland but across britain are expected to travel here to support their team and their country. the singing of the ukrainian national anthem before kick—off is expected to be a particularly poignant moment. the coming together of a broken community far from home. the coming together of a broken community farfrom home. england face hungary in the nations league on saturday and west ham's jarrod bowen has been included in the squad for the first time. the winger has come on a huge journey from playing for non—league hereford in 2014 to making the england squad in a world cup year, and bowen can't quite believe the progress he's made. at the time it was football planning for my local team and this is it. you have dreams, but you don't think someone from the area to get a move to hull in the first place. and just playing weekend and week

8:20 pm
have recently committed to extending free school meals to all primary pupils. the cost of food, fuel and other goods has surged in recent months, pushing inflation to a ao—year high. 0ur education correspondent elaine dunkley reports. more children than ever are coming through the doors. we're at capacity. we opened 11 minutes ago, we've only got a small room. we're going to be busy. at this free half—term holiday club in stockport there are activities and, crucially, for some children, a meal. so, the room is full and there will be kids down the street with take—out boxes of food. so, yeah, more than we can handle. we know a lot of the families who come here are living in food poverty, and many of them aren't on free school meals. one of the things we've noticed is our food banks have always run in the morning and some people are asking if they can come at night, cos people are working full—time, and still can't make ends meet. did you want one as well? lucy is a working mum of three and is currently on maternity leave. she doesn't qualify for free school meals because she earns
8:21 pm
above the eligibility threshold of £7,a00 a year after tax, not including benefits. everything even from the day we shop, getting bits in, even the cost of baby milk, everything'sjust shooting up in price. things that were £1 are now £1.10. when it's half—term holidays, it adds, and it adds to the panic as well. you're just thinking, how am i going to get food this month? and it's notjust parents who are feeling the impact of rising prices. tj, harley and ben get £5 a week pocket money. the ice cream man around here is very nice but... called pete! and the ice creams, a normal ice cream with like a cone, that used to be 90p. 99p. and it went to £1.20. every single thing... has gone up about 20p. according to the government, an estimated 4 million children live in relative poverty. however, fewer than 2 million pupils are eligible for free school meals. in a letter to the government,
8:22 pm
head teachers are warning that change is urgently needed. with the need to level up in the country, then, there are a whole range of reasons why universal free school meals and ensuring that every child has a hot, nutritious meal every single day of the working week, itjust couldn't be more important, if i'm honest with you. the government says it's providing an additional £15 billion to help working families in greatest need and has expanded free school meals more than any other government in recent decades. here at the hub, rachel is determined not to send anyone away without a meal. but as prices continue to rise, so does the anxiety for working families struggling with the cost of living. let's talk to steve taylor, chair of the queen street group, which is made up of 23 educational trust leaders in england.
8:23 pm
he was involved in this letter. thank you for being with us on bbc news this evening. what is your experience in the schools you represent?— experience in the schools you reresent? ~ . .,,, , ., represent? across we serve over 200,000 students _ represent? across we serve over 200,000 students and - represent? across we serve over 200,000 students and pupils. i represent? across we serve over. 200,000 students and pupils. we represent? across we serve over- 200,000 students and pupils. we all have our own schools and we often serve schools in areas of high deprivation. we do know that there are a number a lot of them, we know free school meals is a really good programme and it does work. what we are saying in this letter is that the government ought to expand the programme to meet the needs of more families. including those who are working but don't have the disposable income to ensure that their children can have at least one hot meal a day. we notice specifically, particularly in recent weeks is an increased number of people who are experiencing the poverty. if you think of every five children living in poverty in our
8:24 pm
country, two of them don't have access to free school meals that you can have some sense of the scale of the challenge. i can have some sense of the scale of the challenge-— the challenge. i was struck by one ofthe the challenge. i was struck by one of the figures _ the challenge. i was struck by one of the figures quoted _ the challenge. i was struck by one of the figures quoted in _ the challenge. i was struck by one of the figures quoted in this - the challenge. i was struck by one| of the figures quoted in this report from the food foundation carried out last month which revealed 2.6 million children live in homes of missed meals which is 17% of the homes in this country with children. presumably, at school is one of the places where it's possible to guarantee that whatever�*s happening at home can make up bit for it. but it's not presumablyjust about helping kids out from the food point of view, there's a lot of evidence that links education achievement to good and nutritious diet. absolutely. we would all recognise it as such a crucial time in anyone's life in terms of physical group demand growth but also mental development. it's all the impact of a healthy diet we see across all those elements. many of these schools across our trusts are
8:25 pm
alerted to the importance of food nutrition. they'll use other budgets to fund breakfast clubs and we notice the impact of having a good breakfast on the way children interact with their learning during the day, they can concentrate and participate month sentence, all of these things you can see the difference. we know that children often rely on school as do families to make sure they can be assured at least one good meal a day. we also know that caterers are under quite a lot of pressure in terms of their rising gusts and what can be provided within the context of the previously considered to be a meal deal. there are pressures on a number of fronts. this letter is really saying we know there are more children living in poverty that are currently served by the free school meals program. flan currently served by the free school meals program-— currently served by the free school meals program. can we expand the programme? _ meals program. can we expand the programme? you _ meals program. can we expand the programme? you mentioned - meals program. can we expand the programme? you mentioned in - meals program. can we expand the programme? you mentioned in thej programme? you mentioned in the letter, a mention of letter of some
8:26 pm
kids getting into school meal debt so they don't have the money for the school meals and bills they pay us when you can and all the rest of it. at some point does that threaten the viability of the school meal service that schools are providing? it certainly does put school budgets under pressure. i think we can talk about budget pressure for some time. i think there are a number of aspects to deal with cost—of—living, which we could see having an impact on schools us anywhere else. the specific nature of this quest, if you like, is to say what the government is previously done in terms of free school meals provision, notjust this government but previous governments, we could see that that's a really good direction of travel. if we could expand that to everyone who is in universal credit than that would include families whose income is at the moment not greater than £7,400. if you think about running a family budget on that now it doesn't stretch far. given that food can be
8:27 pm
provided at school relatively simply, that's a really good action that the government could take. steve taylor, thank you very much. access to doctors is fast becoming one of the biggest problems for the nhs — according to patients' groups — while some areas of england are having to cope with much lower numbers of gps per head than others. new analysis for the bbc has found that demand for gp services continues to rise, but more doctors are switching to part—time working. the government says it's doing its best to — in its words — "grow the workforce". 0ur health editor hugh pym has been to devon, one of england's best—served areas for gps, and also to hull — where the story is rather different. thank you. oh, you're welcome, you're welcome. it was just a bit of moral support, wasn't it, really? this is gp care as we don't often see it. when you used to ring, i just felt i wasn't abandoned. 0h, bless you. lorna supports her elderly
8:28 pm
patients as best she can, but devon has some of the longest waits for planned operations in england. so lovely to see you, since your surgery! joyce had to wait nearly three years for her hip replacement, and she was put on anti—depressants and morphine. i couldn't speak to anybody that i cried. yeah, it was really tough, wasn't it? it was a tough time, yeah. sorry — you got through it. as a gp, you feel a little bit helpless in a way, because all you can do is keep checking in, but you know the thing that they really need to get better is the surgery that they're waiting for. for lorna, watching her patients slowly deteriorate is difficult. i've seen you before about this tremor. social ca re's under pressure. she tries to help the elderly who want to stay independent. very disabling at the moment.
8:29 pm
tom, who is now 90, j has to do all cooking. bye, pauline, i'll see myself out, all right? how do you manage to fit in home visits with all the other patients you need to see? yeah, it can be a challenge. there aren't enough hours in the day. i think they need to clone us. devon has one of the better patient—to—gp ratios, but there's still a heavy workload. we're all managing in different ways. a lot of us are working part—time. a lot are retiring early. from devon to hull, it's a different story. patient continuity is harder to achieve. the number of gp�*s relative to the population in hull is one of the lowest in england. i don't think that's anything to worry about... here they see as many patients as they can. that still leaves a lot of phone calls for matthew and the other gps. i've had four cases come in in the last four minutes. the list is still building.
8:30 pm
hi there, it's dr fortnum again at the surgery... an area like hull has higher levels of socioeconomic need. you have this sort of perfect storm where we've got the most need, but yet seem to have the least capacity to deal with it, so it creates inequity and it actually perpetuates it. but we're here to try and change that. for lorna and matthew, devin and hull, local challenges may be different, but they and all gps face a rising workload and a struggle to meet the needs of their patients. hugh pym, bbc news. let's talk to louise ansari, director of healthwatch england, an independent statutory body that has the power to make sure nhs leaders and other decision makers listen to feedback from the public. i have to say, there's probably a lot of feedback on the questions posed covid lockdown as we come out of that, certainly i've heard, i come from devon and i heard people say i can't get a face to face

8:32 pm
face appointments. that's across the country, so multiple scenarios where there are not enough numbers of gps. are you ready that there is a little bit of a digital divide here? is something we talk about in broadcasting as well, lots of people who have access to the internet and use it regularly and are very comfortable with that. there are an awful lot of people in this country who still don't. it is not an issue? that's absolutely right. 0bviously, even before co—vet, which brought huge amounts of pressure on the whole health and social care system, there was this move towards digital and telephone treatment and advice and telephone treatment and advice and care. now, that rapidly accelerated during call that, didn't get to? the real worry is that people who don't have broadband, a smartphone, may be older people who aren't quite so tech savvy, but also people perhaps who's got a

disability, who are deaf, whose first language isn't english, might not commit my notjust be the best way for them to get treatment and advice. so what we are seeing, and we are calling for the nhs to do a formal review of access to gps, people should be able to access the kind of treatment they want in the way that they wanted. just kind of treatment they want in the way that they wanted.— kind of treatment they want in the way that they wanted. just in terms ofthe way that they wanted. just in terms of the immediate _ way that they wanted. just in terms of the immediate future, _ way that they wanted. just in terms of the immediate future, that - way that they wanted. just in termsl of the immediate future, that review is obviously going to serve a valuable —— valuable purpose if it does indeed take place, are there more immediate changes? weill. does indeed take place, are there more immediate changes? well, there are lots that — more immediate changes? well, there are lots that can _ more immediate changes? well, there are lots that can be _ more immediate changes? well, there are lots that can be done. _ more immediate changes? well, there are lots that can be done. obviously i are lots that can be done. obviously in primary care, it's notjust about gps and people can get advice from pharmacists and they can get support from visio is, practising nurses, so if two people i thinking about what's the kind of blended offer, what's the kind of blended offer, what is the personalised offer depending on what people need might not even be to see at gp, it could
8:34 pm
be to see somebody else in the practice and it could be face—to—face, it could be online, it could be on the phone, and that kind of change, there needs to be communicated to their list and their patients. if all else fails, people can call nhs111 if they've got something really urgent and can't get hold of the gp.— something really urgent and can't get hold of the gp. thank you very much. the home office has begun formally notifying migrants of their removal to rwanda, with the first deportation flight expected to depart in two weeks.the home office has not confirmed how many people will be issued with the notices at first, but one official told bbc news all those who will be issued with the directions are currently in asylum detention. it is expected there will be legal challenges against the move. with the latest, here's our political correspondent david wallace lockhart. —— i'm joined now by bella sankey, director of the charity detention action. we knew this was coming, your

8:38 pm
it is essential that some of the world's must traumatised and vulnerable people which includes afghans, syrians, and iranians that make up those who will be issued but these expulsion orders are a ball to test whether to send them to rwanda would be a breach of their human rights. it's important that everyone in this country have access to justice. with tina preminger in recent months avail himself of the advice of lawyers when he was sent a questionnaire by the metropolitan police, so, you know, to suggest that that shouldn't be afforded to everybody who, i think most people would agree that it's absolutely essential that people have access to legal advice and can test whether their treatment is lawful. do legal advice and can test whether their treatment is lawful.- their treatment is lawful. do you ask their permission _ their treatment is lawful. do you ask their permission to - their treatment is lawful. do you ask their permission to take - their treatment is lawful. do you i ask their permission to take these cases on their behalf? 50. cases on their behalf? so, individuals _ cases on their behalf? so, individuals who _ cases on their behalf? so, individuals who are - cases on their behalf? srr, individuals who are detained cases on their behalf? 557, individuals who are detained and cases on their behalf? 5513, individuals who are detained and are gay then the notice says have access

to the lawyers, there are huge problems in detention with the lack of availability to lawyers, but some of availability to lawyers, but some of those individuals are bringing claims themselves that are part of our challenge. mount —— my organisation works with immigration detention centres, and i can tell you that there is not a single person that has been given one of these notices that his team to go to rwanda, indeed, the people that my caseworkers are speaking to her expressing suicidal ideation and we have heard reports of suicide attempts from people that been given these orders. let's remember, these are people who have fled some of the most harrowing atrocities that are going on in our world today, whether it's modern slavery, whether it's to a chair, whether it's a fear forms of sexual abuse, and having made a very long arduous and very dangerous journeys to the uk having fled these atrocities meant to be told that they are going to be sent to the other side of the world to a regime
8:40 pm
thatis other side of the world to a regime that is that maggie can see how re—traumatizing that is for those involved. we are absolutely certain that people are this coming as i say, challenges are being brought but we are bringing a challenge and can dunk —— in conjunction with civil servants and their union who are also very disturbed by what is contained in this policy. disturbed by what is contained in this oli . disturbed by what is contained in this policy-— disturbed by what is contained in this oli . , ., ., this policy. some people who have received these _ this policy. some people who have received these notices _ this policy. some people who have received these notices that - this policy. some people who have received these notices that they i this policy. some people who have l received these notices that they are going to be transferred to rwanda as he of understand that are trying to kill themselves?— kill themselves? that's absolutely ri . ht. the kill themselves? that's absolutely right. they readily _ kill themselves? that's absolutely right. they readily speak - kill themselves? that's absolutely right. they readily speak to i kill themselves? that's absolutely | right. they readily speak to people and attention that expressed suicidal ideation and we have observed that people who have been given these notices of intent have expressed that, and we've also heard from colleagues that work in the sector that people have attempted suicide as a result of these notices of intent being given out.
8:41 pm
very much from detention action, just some words from the home secretary, priti patel, who says she expects that attempts will not be made to frustrate the process and delay removals, but she will not be deterred in her plans. a deputy mayor of paris has apologised to liverpool fans for the chaos at last weekend's champions league final. uefa have launched an independent investigation into what happened at the stade de france, ahead of liverpool's match with real madrid. yesterday, french officials blamed what they called �*industrial scale�* ticket fraud, but there�*s been widespread condemnation of the tactics of police, who used tear gas and pepper spray on thousands of liverpool fans as they queued for hours to get into the stadium. earlier my colleague ben brown spoke to pierre rabadan. he�*s deputy mayor of paris in charge of sport, and said the security response on saturday was "inappropriate". what can i say, firstly, to apologise about what�*s happened last saturday.
8:42 pm
i was in the middle of the liverpool fans around the stadium, and i know a large part of them were really calm and waiting for entrance, but as you know, maybe, we had a lot of problems with false tickets and probably a person without tickets, and the organisation was not adapting to this crowd, the large crowd without good tickets for entrance, so they blocked the door areas and after the situation became unruly, a really bad experience and a lot of person waiting, and as i say, people may be dead and appropriate behaviour, of person waiting, —— and as i say, people maybe did inappropriate behaviour, a large part of them stayed calm, and that�*s why we had massive injuries to people.
8:43 pm
we know that this organisation, the security actually, but it was an exception and we organise a lot of games outside the stadium and a lot of major international sports here, and in that case, the secuirty system was not efficient. we are really sorry for the guys who are there, the family, and i can repeat, i know that a large majority tried to get in when they had tickets, but as you know, there is a lot of false tickets too. just wait, when you say there are a lot of false... and we have apologised for that. you are apologising to liverpool fans, and i�*m sure they will be pleased to hear that apology, but when you say there there was ticket fraud, i mean, the interior minister of france has said they were up to 40,000 ends fake tickets, foraged tickets, that there was forgery
8:44 pm
on an industrial scale. is there actually any evidence for that claim? because that would mean there was a huge conspiracy to make these fake tickets. i cannot answer about that because i am in charge in paris, and i was not involved in the organisation in this stadium, so i can�*t answer that. the government has answered, but what i can say is probably, you know, the commission of this organisation, normally this game, it was not possible because of the situation in the war, and we propose to do it in paris since the stadium just next to paris, and we had 12 weeks to organise something normally organised in 18 months. surely, i mean, it�*s three months... they had some problems with their tickets, i don�*t know yet.
8:45 pm
i don�*t know yet. what i can say is now, as we did before, we are going to shine the light on the disorganisation we had and we will be able to welcome again all the english fans for football worlds rugby cup and the olympics and paralympic games in 2024. we have organised these massive events before, and sometimes with england there are problems. so the point is we have to learn about the mistakes we made and never do it again. joining me now to talk about what happened at the champions league final is dave houlgate. he is the founder of harrogate and district liverpool supporters club. thank you very much for being with us. i gather you are in paris on saturday night. what do you make of what he had to say there? well. saturday night. what do you make of what he had to say there?— what he had to say there? well, it sounds to me _ what he had to say there? well, it sounds to me as _ what he had to say there? well, it sounds to me as though _ what he had to say there? well, it sounds to me as though he i what he had to say there? well, it sounds to me as though he is i what he had to say there? well, it i sounds to me as though he is making some excuses there, and what we need as we need somebody to take
8:46 pm
responsibility for what happened on saturday nights and at the moment, nobody seems to be wanting to do that. there needs to be some investigation, clearly, and it is good that liverpool football have already started making the moves to put the authorities that sort of pressure, but there has to be accountability and there has to be somebody who takes for what happened or what didn�*t happen on saturday. two separate things here, we will come to that in the moment, one is about security, one is about the ticketing, on the security question, what was your experience on the night? mr; what was your experience on the niuht? ~ , , . ., , what was your experience on the niuht? g , . ., , ., night? my experience, i have been to a number of— night? my experience, i have been to a number of games, _ night? my experience, i have been to a number of games, my _ night? my experience, i have been to a number of games, my experience l night? my experience, i have been to| a number of games, my experience as that the police�*s default position is often when a position and mistrust of supporters, no matter who they are. on saturday evening,
8:47 pm
we had people who have families, young children, some cases they were in wheelchairs who were there to watch what is supposed to be the highlight of the football season, please tend to treat them like cattle. i can�*t see it differently that way. funnelling into very small spaces. we are disrespected, quite honestly, and you just, you are treated as like a second—class citizen. treated as like a second-class citizen. , ., , ., , citizen. they have diverted people to a kind of _ citizen. they have diverted people to a kind of tunnel _ citizen. they have diverted people to a kind of tunnel to _ citizen. they have diverted people to a kind of tunnel to a _ citizen. they have diverted people to a kind of tunnel to a different i to a kind of tunnel to a different and trends. it must have, for you and trends. it must have, for you and for some other fancy remember hillsboro, must have brought some unpleasant memories. i hillsboro, must have brought some unpleasant memories.— hillsboro, must have brought some unpleasant memories. i went to the round unpleasant memories. i went to the ground relatively _ unpleasant memories. i went to the ground relatively early, _ unpleasant memories. i went to the ground relatively early, and - unpleasant memories. i went to the ground relatively early, and there i ground relatively early, and there was holdups there, talking about three and a three and half hours before kick—off, significant holdups there. the ticket checks, they were marking the tickets with a pen, they
8:48 pm
weren�*t really checking the tickets, and people where just left standing in a very, very tight claustrophobic space. i was lucky i got that dashed through that relatively quickly, some people were in that situation for hours, and i can only imagine the sort of grief and frustration and committee anger that they would�*ve felt. fin and committee anger that they would've felt.— would've felt. on the ticketing side, would've felt. on the ticketing side. you _ would've felt. on the ticketing side, you have _ would've felt. on the ticketing side, you have heard - would've felt. on the ticketing side, you have heard this i would've felt. on the ticketing i side, you have heard this allegation from i�*ve heard other people say, look, previous champions league match as, there has been more use of electronic tickets, that paper tickets where a problem, not least because they weren�*t being checked early enough of the reasons you�*ve mentioned. is it possible that they could have been fraud with some of the ticketing because make it certainly doesn�*t explain, for example, the problems of our people are being challenged and the police reaction. can you see how even a few relatively few fake tickets might to the problems?—
8:49 pm
the problems? well, i think the authorities _ the problems? well, i think the authorities are _ the problems? well, i think the authorities are not _ the problems? well, i think the authorities are not talking i the problems? well, i think the| authorities are not talking about the problems? well, i think the i authorities are not talking about a few fake tickets. they are talking about 40,000 tickets. it�*s frankly preposterous. it�*s a fantasy to suggest that there is 40,000 fake tickets around that, 75,000 people with real tickets, and £40 —— 40,000 people, it isjust with real tickets, and £40 —— 40,000 people, it is just preposterous to even make a suggestion that that many fake tickets are around. from what we saw, people were getting in on occasions without tickets at all, jumping over the fence, i think that�*s a big red herring that�*s been thrown out there to try to cover what has been a shambolic organisation of prestige, the top football tournament of the world. dave, from the harrogate supporters club, thank you very much for being with us.
8:50 pm
police and prosecutors should immediately stop suggesting —— immediately stop subjecting rape victims from exessive scrutiny according to a new report. the uk�*s information commissioner says that victims are being treated as suspects — with prosecutors collecting large amounts of personal information about them. 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�*ve heard from complainants whose cases didn�*t get to trial and who have waived their 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,
8:51 pm
i was the one on trial, i was the one that had committed a crime. there are things in my medical records that are just personal, that you don't want, you know, an investigating officer, potentially even the defence, asking for as well, to be scrutinised. it's now sitting in a police cabinet somewhere, it's not destroyed, it's still out there. this trawl by police and prosecutors should stop immediately, says the uk�*s information commissioner, whose job it is to uphold information rights. in some cases school records are being examined. what�*s the line that can come from a forged letter justifying an absence, given when they were a teenager, to an event that happened last saturday night? we have called our report, "who is under investigation?", because the experience of many survivors of these offences is that they are the ones who are being investigated, not the suspects. the information commissioner is warning police and prosecutors they could be fined if they don�*t put a brake on the collection of information. they stress they are working to improve the system. the home office says it is launching
8:52 pm
a consultation exercise but campaigners say more legislation is needed to make the gathering of so much personal information illegal. june kelly, bbc news. joining me now is hannah arkwright. she was wrongly accused of a crime in 2018, and went on to study law. she�*s now training to become a criminal defence solicitor and helped set up the defendant, a support service for other people who�*ve been accused. it�*s great to see that you are making use of your bad experience in a positive way, what was your experience back then of the use of data? it experience back then of the use of data? . , . experience back then of the use of data? ., , experience back then of the use of data? .,, ., , . ., ., . ., experience back then of the use of data? ., , . . .,, data? it was a bit chaotic, to be honest- he _ data? it was a bit chaotic, to be honest. he asked _ data? it was a bit chaotic, to be honest. he asked for _ data? it was a bit chaotic, to be honest. he asked for all my i honest. he asked for all my passwords for everything, which i gave them, but initially they didn�*t take my device, so that was kind of pointless. then a couple of weeks later, they asked me for my device, which i gave over, two days later
8:53 pm
they gave them back having not downloaded anything, then they asked for them again, and they did take them and download them, then i got them and download them, then i got them back. that i�*m not sure whatever they did but then, nobody said this is what we are having and then gave them back and took them again. it was completely chaotic. you are not sure why they want access, because they haven�*t got a specific thing they are looking for always, it�*s assertive slightly feels like a random operation which is presumably one of the things that the information commissioner is worried about.— worried about. exactly. it's a fishin: worried about. exactly. it's a fishing expedition, _ worried about. exactly. it's a fishing expedition, largely, l worried about. exactly. it's a i fishing expedition, largely, and it is, you know, everyone lives on technology these days and everything is on your device, but if you don�*t know specifically what you are looking for, everything is being trawled and it is invasive. and it is a real problem for complainants and defendants alike. do you feel the report actually comes up with any solutions?—
8:54 pm
any solutions? one of the issues we've not any solutions? one of the issues we've got particularly _ any solutions? one of the issues we've got particularly with i any solutions? one of the issues we've got particularly with rape i any solutions? one of the issues | we've got particularly with rape is we�*ve got particularly with rape is the appallingly low conviction rate for crimes of rape. you had a statistic back in london which illustrates how low it is, and presumably one of the ways in which this is explored through technology increasingly that�*s how people communicate and people who get together communicate.— communicate and people who get together communicate. exactly. so in 2019, on the — together communicate. exactly. so in 2019, on the 14 _ together communicate. exactly. so in 2019, on the 14 rape _ together communicate. exactly. so in 2019, on the 14 rape convictions i together communicate. exactly. so in 2019, on the 14 rape convictions in i 2019, on the 14 rape convictions in london, people were convicted and i think there were 500 and something allegations, which is an impelling percentage. that being said, the government saying that they want to improve rape convictions and they want to improve targets and whatever is not the way to go about it. clearly our justice system is not the way to go about it. clearly ourjustice system is based on justice, clearly ourjustice system is based onjustice, truth, and that clearly ourjustice system is based on justice, truth, and that is what we should be gunning for, not to
8:55 pm
injury —— increase numbers. 0bviously i�*m almost certain they are more than 14 rapes that happened in london, and they failfor whatever reason or people don�*t feel like they are able to come forward, which is very difficult. we like they are able to come forward, which is very difficult.— which is very difficult. we are auoin to which is very difficult. we are going to have _ which is very difficult. we are going to have to _ which is very difficult. we are going to have to leave - which is very difficult. we are going to have to leave it i which is very difficult. we are i going to have to leave it there. the co—founder of the defendant. good luck with your life studies and thank you very much.- luck with your life studies and thank you very much. nadine gary spoke a little earlier. the city of culture when it is bradford. the city of culture when it is itradford-— the city of culture when it is bradford. �* ., ., �* :: ., bradford. bradford beach 20 other towns to claim _ bradford. bradford beach 20 other towns to claim the _ bradford. bradford beach 20 other towns to claim the title, _ bradford. bradford beach 20 other towns to claim the title, the i bradford. bradford beach 20 other towns to claim the title, the city i towns to claim the title, the city and west yorkshire will take on the title from coventry, receiving £275,000 of initial funding title from coventry, receiving £275,000 of initialfunding to kick—start plans for a year of events which will be held in 2025. the project aims to boost

8:57 pm
we started off from worcester, and we were on our way- ito bicester village for a half term i little day out, and then my teenage son tom suggested that we came here to the binley mega chippy. i it�*s three hours before it opens. i know, but we're very keen. we wanted to get here before the crowds! i the trend is to take a photo or video of yourself at the chip shop and upload it with the catchy jingle that everyone seems to love. # binley mega chippy! videos with the hashtag binley mega chippy have been viewed more than 130 million times. # binley mega chippy! staff say the business has seen ten times the customers it usually does. we had a bus—load of 12 people from dundee yesterday. i was chatting to some people from newcastle. what do you make of all this? i don�*t know, but i�*m loving it. i�*m just going to go with it. why has this place becomes so popular? no one understands except british
8:58 pm
people, it's fish and chips, it'sjust funny, it'sjust fish and chips. today is the last official day of coventry�*s year as the city of culture, and no—one expected this chip shop to be the place everyone seems to want to visit. navteonhal, bbc news, coventry. he can�*t say that that hasn�*t been a success. now it�*s time for a look at the weather. hello again. we�*ve seen loads of showers across the whole of the country today. some of them heavy with some hail and thunder. we�*ve had some localised surface water flooding from some of the biggest downpours, for example, here in norfolk, and in the neighbouring county, suffolk, we had a shelf cloud spotted. these are associated with really vigorous thunderstorms. 0n the radar picture, you can see extensive
8:59 pm
showers through the day. some of the heaviest ones are focused across eastern areas of england, and they�*re going to keep going for the first part of the night here. probably quite wet across parts of scotland, and then we�*ve got this zone of rain moving from northern ireland into wales later in the night. temperatures overnight 5—7 celsius for a number of you. it is going to be quite chilly for the time of year. tomorrow, we start off with rain in wales. that moves its way eastwards, that feature turning more showery in nature, and those showers will be heavy with some hail and thunder as we go through the afternoon. at the same time, the north and west will become dry with a bit more sunshine, and so will start to feel a little bit warmer. that�*s the latest.
9:00 pm
