this is bbc news. the headlines: an independent investigation into allegations of mistreatment in british gymnastics finds that physical and emotional abuse was "systemic" during a 12—year period up to 2020. i would absolutely describe it as a culture of abuse. i was told to carry on as if i didn't know what happened, but i couldn't carry on. it was up to me to ring my dad to pick me up and take me to the hospital, where they told me i bit my foot in four places. the bravery of the athletes coming forward has to be changed. those stories have been hurt and action must be taken to accept the failures of the past are being publicly recognised. boris johnson's former ethics

adviser says he resigned last night because the prime minister put him in an "impossible and odious" position over an issue he believed would amount to a deliberate breach of the ministerial code. interest rates up again — to one and a quarter per cent, the highest in more than a decade. a man confesses to killing a britishjournalist and his local guide in brazil, and leads police to where he buried the bodies. hot and getting even hotter — britain's heatwave is expected to peak tomorrow with temperatures of 3a degrees celsius. an independent investigation into allegations of mistreatment

in british gymnastics has found that physical and emotional abuse was "systemic". the whyte review, which extends beyond 300 pages and was co—commissioned by uk sport and sport england, found that gymnast well—being and welfare had not been at the centre of british gymnastics' culture" during a 12—year period up to 2020 — and that there was a coach—led culture of fear. let's talk to our sports correspondent laura scott. they require change including safeguarding and governance. how did we get to disposition that we had this investigation and the first place. it we had this investigation and the first lace. ., , we had this investigation and the first lace. ., . ~ g , first place. it was back in july 2020, a member— first place. it was back in july 2020, a member of- first place. it was back in july 2020, a member of former l first place. it was back in july i 2020, a member of former and first place. it was back in july - 2020, a member of former and current gymnasts came back alleging abuse and mistreatment within gymnastics.

had condoned some of them in the pursuit of national and international competitive success. the management of concerns and complaints was not consistently appropriate or rigorous and there was a reticence to raise complaints from gymnasts and their parents. the majority of british gymnastics members are under the age of 12. this is something that really affect the children. of the 400 submissions of evidence, 40% describe physical abuse. it ranged from physical chastisement to the withholding of food, water and access to clinic during training. 50% describe emotional abuse. a quarter reported excessive weight management. the review describes a tyranny of the scales which they said was quite sad and quite unnecessary and of the 400 submissions, 30 describe sexual abuse ranging from grooming and sexual assault and sexual comments and inappropriate relationships. i think we can hear it from one of

in a letter, he told the prime minister... he adds... that refers to downing street proposals designed to support british industry but which could have broken international trade rules. in his response, the prime minister writes... this was lord geidt in parliament on tuesday, just 24 hours before he quit. here is what he said about rumours he had considered resigning before. there are few instruments available to an independent adviser. he also told mps it was reasonable to suggest the prime minister may have breached the ministerial code after his lockdown party fine. but this isn't a first —

the man in the red tie, sir alex allan, quit the job as borisjohnson's adviser two years ago after being overruled on whether the home secretary broke the rules ministers have to follow. the government said it was disappointed lord geidt had quit but said it did take ministerial ethics seriously. significant changes were made to the role and status of independent adviser on ministers�* interests. as i set out to the house last week, these changes represent the most substantial strengthening of the role of independent adviser since its creation. but others said the problem was the prime minister. it�*s a pattern of degrading the principles of our democracy, the prime minister has now driven out both of his hand—picked ethics advisers to resign in despair in two years. it�*s a badge of shame for this government. for the prime minister to lose one adviser on ministers' interests may be regarded as misfortune but to lose two looks like carelessness. some argue significant damage has been done to downing street�*s ethics regime.

borisjohnson is now looking for his third adviser since he became prime minister. 0ur political correspondent ione wells can tell us more. this is strange because he has been embroiled in party gave fair enough speculation he had resigned over that but in the end he resigned over the relatively dry issue of steel tariffs. i the relatively dry issue of steel tariffs. ~ ., , . ., tariffs. i think one thing is clear from his resignation _ tariffs. i think one thing is clear from his resignation letter- tariffs. i think one thing is clear from his resignation letter that| from his resignation letter that clearly there was an accumulation of things he was not happy with. he does mention he was close to resigning over party gates and he cited wider concerns about the prime minister�*s leadership even after he did provide an explanation for his conduct of our party gates and breaches of covid—19 rules in downing street. i think what seems to have been the final straw was him

being asked for advice on a trade decision for something number ten was considering and he seems to be we understand in relation to the government looking at whether they could extend tariffs or taxes on chinese steel which number ten of argie would be something to protect the uk steel industry from steel being dumped into the uk from abroad. numberten have being dumped into the uk from abroad. number ten have said in their response to lord geidt that they believe this decision although they believe this decision although they did not typically mentions because they say this is a commercially sensitive issue they cannot comment on what they say they feel this could be compliance with the mystical but with the wto commitments that the uk has. people are wondering why this is the thing that may have pushed him over the edge? i think it is clear that there was accumulation of reasons but i think he and his mate as information that there was the way that a break.

0ver party gates borisjohnson may be asked is whether people believe him or not that he did not realise he was preaching covid—19 regulations, covid—19 rules when he was fined for attending some of these parties in downing street. i think what to lord geidt seems i�*m happy about in this case is he felt he was being asked to offer advice on deliberately going against international obligation i think that for him seemed to be something that for him seemed to be something that put him in an impossible position where as he�*s been asked to tell ministers with a basic deliberately break the law and also the code they have to abide by. we�*ve been saying that borisjohnson is now in the position where he�*s looking for a third ethics adviser because he�*s got 32 already but maybe he�*s not because downing street are hinting they might be changing that role altogether. that�*s right. we had some pretty vague language from number ten today essentially saying the prime minister is going to be taking time to consider the future of this world. we don�*t know what that means

and what that means and whether they are looking at changing the wall completely or even not replacing it at all. as you say he has got through two ethics advisers which is an awkward position to be in. it�*s not going to be an easy position to fail as it currently stands. but i think it is interesting to note that there are said be reconsidering the role. 0ne there are said be reconsidering the role. one interesting thing which could be a potential question that any successor would have is what exactly is the remit of any future will going to be an another concern he raised when he was in his post was that power it had to oversee the ministerial code and those rules that government ministers have to follow at the moment the prime minister is still really the ultimate arbiter of that ministerial code and that has led to some tensions when it comes to placing his own behaviour.— an independent investigation into allegations of mistreatment in british gymnastics finds that physical and emotional abuse

was "systemic" during a 12 year period up to 2020. interest rates up again — to one and a quarter per cent, the highest in more than a decade. a man confesses to killing a britishjournalist and his local guide in brazil, and leads police to where he buried the bodies. the bank of england has raised interest rates for the fifth time in a row. the base rate is going up a quarter of a percentage point — to 1.25 per cent — its highest level in 13 years. the move is aimed at fighting high inflation amid soaring energy prices. 0ur economics correspondent, andy verity, told me the raise was widely predicted but not welcomed by many people. well, no, especially if you�*ve got a variable rate mortgage — that is a minority of households, less than 10%. but, nevertheless, some of them are locked into their mortgages because of what the government�*s done, selling portfolios

of mortgages to lenders who don�*t have new loans. and those people will be suffering each time there�*s a rise in rates. so this is now the highest interest rates have been since 2009. you can even say interest rates are at ten times what they were a year ago because back then they were back down at 0.1%. really, the exceptional thing isn�*t so much what�*s happening now, it�*s what�*s happened for the last 13 years when we�*ve had emergency low interest rates ever since 2009, because the bank of england has not felt able to raise them because of weak economic growth and stagnant living standards. now we have a situation where we have the highest inflation since 1982, 9%, and the bank of england was saying today it expects it to get above 11%. and so really the bank of england�*s forced to normalise the situation, joining me is simon french, the chief economist at the invesment bank, panmure gordon.

this is aimed at trying to tackle information which is pretty high at the moment but realistically can it succeed because of that information is caused by things like global energy prices and search and demand —— covid—19, the search of global factors. it -- covid-19, the search of global factors. . ., ., , -- covid-19, the search of global factors. _, ., , ., factors. it will continue to be a roblem factors. it will continue to be a problem for — factors. it will continue to be a problem for the _ factors. it will continue to be a problem for the rest _ factors. it will continue to be a problem for the rest of - factors. it will continue to be a problem for the rest of the - factors. it will continue to be a| problem for the rest of the year factors. it will continue to be a - problem for the rest of the year and into next year which is the tools they have at their disposal an interest rate increases and setting their government that in both those tools are really poor at dealing with a type of information that we are experiencing in the uk economy. what�*s known as trade shock from energy and raising interest rates and the only way that�*s bringing information found is by deterring business investments and deterring spending and ultimately the rising unemployment and that�*s a pretty uncomfortable thing for the bank of england to communicate to the general public. it

penistion has never played in the main draw of an atp tournament before the british number seven beat french open finalist casper ruud earlier this week. it's it�*s got a little bit tougher in the second. the defending champion, matteo berretini, is through to the quarterfinals, but he was pushed all the way by denis kudla. the italian lost the first set before coming through in three. he�*ll now face another american, tommy paul. he knocked off stanislav wawrinka. some of the top women�*s players are playing at the birmingham classic. zhang shuai of china is on court now facing romania�*s elena—gabriela ruse for a place in the last eight. top seed jelena 0stapenko made it through earlier. it isa it is a set of peace. that is going through to a third both the great britain�*s katie boulter is already into the quaterfinals and plays tomorrow. favourite kyprios won the gold cup

connection to partygate, that would have been immensely damaging and even put the rebels over the top. but he�*s decided to resign over a trade dispute, a subject in which i think a lot of voters will be quite sympathetic to the government. it may have an impact. i think it�*s much less impactful than it could have been. much less impactful than it could have been-— much less impactful than it could havebeen. , , , ., have been. are you surprised that this is the issue? _ have been. are you surprised that this is the issue? relatively - this is the issue? relatively technical issue about the world trade organization, about steel tariffs. but you wouldn�*t have thought that was something you would go to the wall over. i am thought that was something you would go to the wall over.— go to the wall over. i am surprised. international _ go to the wall over. i am surprised. international law _ go to the wall over. i am surprised. international law is _ go to the wall over. i am surprised. international law is important, - go to the wall over. i am surprised. international law is important, but| international law is important, but there are gradations on and an awful lot of countries play fast and loose

with the rules. i think the eu has ignored several instructions to open up ignored several instructions to open up markets. that�*sjust ignored several instructions to open up markets. that�*s just relatively normal. i�*m not saying whether or not it�*s good or bad, but partygate has really cut through and called into question the ethics of the heart of this government. that would have been a telling issue for lord geidt. we are in a strange position where the story of his resignation based on his own actions is that he was able to stay in because of that, and that he left. the most convicting i�*ve seen is the idea that he�*s had enough. he realised he miscalculated on the partygate issue and he was looking over something which to resign. this is a baffling topic. which to resign. this is a baffling toic. . which to resign. this is a baffling to ic, , ., ., which to resign. this is a baffling toic. , ., ., , , , ., topic. his language is very strong, sa in: he topic. his language is very strong, saying he was _ topic. his language is very strong, saying he was put _ topic. his language is very strong, saying he was put in _ topic. his language is very strong, saying he was put in an _ topic. his language is very strong, | saying he was put in an impossible and odious position. we were getting hits from downing street they may not have this kind of ethics adviser

borisjohnson already or you�*re probably going to acquit him. you won�*t have your mind change by stories from downing street. we will have to wait and see.— stories from downing street. we will have to wait and see. thank you very much, have to wait and see. thank you very much. henry — have to wait and see. thank you very much, henry hill. _ police in brazil say they�*ve found what are thought to be the bodies of the missing british journalist dom philips, and a local indigenous expert bruno pereira. they were last seen in a remote part of the amazon rainforest earlier this month. brazilian police have arrested two suspects, one of whom has confessed to burying their bodies. the other suspect has denied any involvement. 0ut south america correspondent, katy watson, reports from manaus. it was a hastily organised press conference. a panel of military men delivering the awful news after ten days of searching. translation: the first suspect voluntarily confessed _ at the end of last night. he made the criminal

confession outlining in detail the crime he committed, and indicated the area where he buried the bodies. early on wednesday morning, he was taken on a boat to help the search teams find the bodies. it was three kilometres from the river bank, in this thick forest, that human remains were found. these photos showing the difficult terrain the search teams faced, needing the help of helicopters, sniffer dogs and divers to get to the site. these are the two men as their friends and family want to remember them. dom phillips, an experienced and passionatejournalist, writing a book on saving the amazon. his travelling companion bruno pereira was an indigenous expert. he knew this community so well and was loved by so many here. the indigenous communities were the first to raise the alarm on the day they disappeared. and they didn�*t give up, accompanying the authorities, and even leading them to clues. but in the press conference, they weren�*t mentioned. i asked the man heading

the investigation, why. the indigenous helped a lot in trying to find the belongings of the two men, but nothing has been mentioned of the help that they gave the forces. translation: actually, it was| a mistake not to mention them. the work was carried out with the help of river communities and indigenous peoples. a lot of them accompanied us on the boats and in the planes, so that was fundamental. this crime has horrified people here in brazil and globally. it�*s brought into sharp focus the dangers faced by those wanting to save the forest. the criminal activity that takes place in this vast, beautiful, yet threatened amazon. dom�*s wife ale says... this brings the search to an end and closure for the families, who pushed so hard in trying to find the two men.

but, of course, it also reveals the brutal criminality in the amazon and the lack of ability by the state to control it. the families now say they�*ll fight for justice. katy watson, bbc news, in manaus. joining me now is sam cowie, a journalist based in brazil and friend of dom philips for almost a decade. 0ur condolences to you. you must be very shocked at what has happened, but as we were hearing there, his family are heartbroken but at least there is some closure.— family are heartbroken but at least there is some closure. yeah, that's ri . ht. there is some closure. yeah, that's right- you — there is some closure. yeah, that's right. you know, _ there is some closure. yeah, that's right. you know, realistically, - there is some closure. yeah, that's| right. you know, realistically, when we first heard about the disappearance, many of us expected the worst due to the nature of this region on the border with peru and colombia. it�*s a very flawless and dangerous place. very remote and people just go missing they are very

easily. and had it not been for the tireless work of these indigenous volunteers, we may still not have disclosure that has given us a brief and small amount of spite —— this closure. this is an extremely lawless part of the world. it�*s a place that�*s got more lawless in recent years due to budget cuts coming from the federal government that has enabled drug traffickers, illegal fishers, that has enabled drug traffickers, illegalfishers, illegal minors, to infiltrate this area more and more —— miners, laundering money with local businesses. the also selling

fish caught illegally on the other side of the border to launder cocaine money. so this is a region where the state is absent and needs to be more present to avoid tragedy like this in the future. this to be more present to avoid tragedy like this in the future.— like this in the future. this is the thin that like this in the future. this is the thing that the — like this in the future. this is the thing that the two _ like this in the future. this is the thing that the two men - like this in the future. this is the thing that the two men were - thing that the two men were investigating. they were aware of the risks. this was a hugely dangerous place to go. they were aware of the _ dangerous place to go. they were aware of the risks, _ dangerous place to go. they were aware of the risks, but _ dangerous place to go. they were aware of the risks, but this - dangerous place to go. they were aware of the risks, but this kind i aware of the risks, but this kind of... they were aware of them and they believed and they were doing the right thing in confronting those risks, but still, the murder, the such blatant murder of a former government worker and a foreign journalist is pretty unprecedented even for brazil, which is literally one of the most dangerous places on the planet to be an environmental

rights defender. and they took all the precautions necessary. bruno himself knew the area like the back of his hand. he was always armed and they took all the precautions necessary in this region to make sure tragedies like this would not happen. it�*s a testament to how dangerous and how lawless that region has become, that something so unprecedented has happened, frankly. sam, thank you for talking for us. our condolences forfor sam, thank you for talking for us. our condolences for for you. sam, thank you for talking for us. our condolences forfor you. —— 0ur condolences for for you. —— to you. many thanks. our condolences for for you. -- to you. many thanks.— the leaders of germany,... president zelensky used the visit to underline the need for greater support from the need for greater support from
