club the night before. mr pincher, who admits that he'd had too much to drink, says he's now seeking professional help. he denies the latest claims which are made in a number of sunday newspapers. here's our political correspondent damian grammaticas. for borisjohnson, new scrutiny about his decision to appoint chris pincher, one of his most loyal supporters, to the powerful post of deputy chief whip. mr pincher resigned that post after the events here at the carlton club on wednesday, accused of publicly groping two men. he said he had drunk far too much and embarrassed himself and others. this weekend has brought six more allegations. all are denied by mr pincher. three are that he made similar unwanted advances to fellow mps, one in a bar in parliament, one in his private office. in february, when mr pincher was made whip, one of those mps contacted downing street to relay his concerns. downing street has said that at the time, borisjohnson was not aware of any specific allegations, something repeated by a minister today.

so how can you be sure that he didn't know about the allegations? well, i'm saying that i've been informed this morning he did not know about specific allegations, as has been well reported. people who spoke to him on friday and in agreement with the chief whip, the whip was removed from chris pincher, who, by the way, is now under a formal investigation process. and it's important that process is allowed to happen. so i'm still not clear, who has told you that the prime minister, and who has told you with certainty the prime minister didn't know about the allegations? somebody from the number 10 press office. so the number 10 press office says categorically that he didn't know about them? well, as i say, i've been, as usual, one gets briefed on a wide variety of topics when you come onto a show like this today, and that's what i've been informed. dominic cummings, former aide, now bitter critic of mrjohnson, has weighed in, saying long before appointing mr pincher, mrjohnson had laughingly referred to him as "pincher by name, pincher by nature."

asked if that was true, downing street has remained silent. no denial issued. i don't think they've taken these things seriously. i think they've made decisions which they shouldn't have made. i can't believe some of the things that are in the papers today about what the prime minister may have personally been aware of before he made decisions like this. but all of politics suffers. for his part, mr pincher has this weekend said, "the stresses of the last few days, coming on top of those over the last several months have made me accept i will benefit from professional medical support." chris pinter has made clear he does not intend to resign from parliament but has agreed to stay away while the independent investigation happens. meanwhile, borisjohnson'sjudgment and the culture he oversees are both once again being questioned. damian grammaticas, bbc news, westminster. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30 this evening in the papers. our guests joining me tonight are the parliamentaryjournalist tony grew and the journalist

and broadcaster caroline frost. ukrainian military says that its forces have withdrawn from the eastern city of lysychansk forces have withdrawn from the eastern city of lysycha nsk after that russian forces had taken control. meanwhile, russia says it shot down a number of missiles aimed at the city of belgorod on a side of the border with ukraine. ukraine's ambassador to turkey says customs officials have seized a russian cargo ship carrying ukrainian grain. the kremlin has rejected claims of theft —— saying russia is exporting goods from territory it controls. russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov said he believes that the uk is trying to find grounds and create conditions for the uk's royal navy to enter the black sea and lead the process of releasing grain from ukraine. translation: this food crisis is being used - for a variety of purposes.

not only for propaganda, but to clear ukraine's - name and, once again, - blame everything on moscow. but, if you listen to, - for example, borisjohnson, and his foreign secretary, - they are clearly trying to create conditions to find a pretext. for the royal navy to infiltrate the black sea and begin the entire process of releasing grain - from the ports which have been mined by the ukrainians and which _ the ukrainians are bound to demine. let's return to the story of boris johnson facing press questions about how much he knew when he appointed chris pincher as deputy chief work backin chris pincher as deputy chief work back in february after fresh allegations emerged about the behaviour of the mp. i am joined by jonathan hazlitt, former director of communications to former prime ministerjohn major. thank you for joining us this evening. the focus of a number of front pages with

regard to the chris pincher story has been a question of how the prime minister manage this, what he knew and when, so how problematic is this what the prime minister? it is and when, so how problematic is this what the prime minister?— what the prime minister? it is quite difficult in many _ what the prime minister? it is quite difficult in many respects. - what the prime minister? it is quite difficult in many respects. it - what the prime minister? it is quite difficult in many respects. it is - difficult in many respects. it is about chris pincher and his behaviour but, more than that, it moves very quickly as others have said into the prime minister's judgment. i think it is hard to believe that he didn't have something of an inkling as to the nature of chris pincher. the allegations that have been made that we have seen in today's papers go back a number of years so they put question marks against his character and have done for some time. it is quite odd in the tribal atmosphere thatis quite odd in the tribal atmosphere that is the house of commons and conservative party if people don't have one or two questions to ask about this. it is quite remarkable, really, that he was being spoken of as a potential chief whip only a few months ago. but, certainly, people

warned the number of people within downing street that there were difficulties with this. nonetheless, he became deputy chief whip. it is thatjudgmental issue that is going to cause questions what downing street, and that is going to continue. street, and that is going to continue-— street, and that is going to continue. , ., ., ., , ., continue. these allegations form the basis of et continue. these allegations form the basis of yet another _ continue. these allegations form the basis of yet another scandal - continue. these allegations form the j basis of yet another scandal downing street is having to deal with. how does this compare to thejohn major era when you were head of communications, and tell us how you handled the scandals that came your way. handled the scandals that came your wa . ., , ., , handled the scandals that came your wa , ., , ., , , . ., , way. there are similarities, because a number of — way. there are similarities, because a number of conservative _ way. there are similarities, because a number of conservative mps - way. there are similarities, because a number of conservative mps do i way. there are similarities, because i a number of conservative mps do seem to be falling short in terms of their standards. we have seen one who has been jailed their standards. we have seen one who has beenjailed in wakefield which led to a by—election, another in tiverton who was apparently viewing pornography on the house of commons and again led to a by—election. it is notjust the conservatives who have a problem with a small number of members of parliament. the scottish national party has recently seen one member,

a former memberjailed for a couple of years forfraud a former memberjailed for a couple of years for fraud and another was under investigation for personal behaviours. and you can go back in time. so that was going on injohn major's time. the key difference here is that whenjohn major found out about these matters and the whips office is alerted him, swift action was taken and there were standards that were applied. you have to accept that the house of commons, it is representative of the whole of the community, so the vast majority of people, the mps, are doing good, hard work on behalf of constituents, but like society, one or two rotten apples do stand out and that is the difficulty. the question we have here is how quickly do the conservative party face up to the that was very clear. in today's modern media world things happen extremely quickly but, nonetheless, there was time to put in place actions that would have recognised the seriousness of the event and

allow the prime minister to stand rather better than he does at the moment, for the whips office to investigate, that would have bought them time. trying to draw a line under it and saying that he would resign is clearly not accurate. number ten saying the prime minister was not aware of any "specific allegations", the wording that is being used, but it seems rumours had been circulating for some time, so when the prime minister says that it has acted swiftly you are saying that he could have acted faster than he did. he that he could have acted faster than he did. . ., ., that he could have acted faster than he did. ., , , he did. he could have, because the whis he did. he could have, because the whips office — he did. he could have, because the whips office could _ he did. he could have, because the whips office could have _ he did. he could have, because the whips office could have said - he did. he could have, because the whips office could have said that i whips office could have said that they were suspending this individual pending an investigation that is carrying on right now and that would have been fair because you have to understand the nature of the allegations. there seems to be scant regard for the potential victims in all of this. and that sits very badly with the way things are run. they could have done things differently. they could have done them better. and as i said earlier,

it is a tribal place, and you don't need to know a specific incident or hear a specific incident. words are very important here, within the terms of the wayjournalists and number ten play them. it is a general sense that something isn't quite right. there is anecdotal evidence that the prime minister himself sensed that. he did say, pincher by name, pinch or by nature. so there is a smell about this that doesn't really leave the prime minister in great shape. the former director of communications - minister in great shape. the former director of communications to - minister in great shape. the former l director of communications to former prime ministerjohn major, thank you very much. the government's spending watchdog is to review borisjohnson's pledge to build a0 new hospitals by 2030 — to see if it still represents good value for money given spiralling inflation. details of the national audit office review first emerged in a letter to the shadow health secretary, wes streeting. but the department of health and social care insists

the plan is on track to deliver a0 new hospitals by 2030. well, for more on this, i'm nowjoined by rory deighton, the acute lead from nhs confederation, which represents hospital trusts and leaders. good evening to you. i want to come to the value for money aspect of this injust a moment, but before we look at that, the national audit office is asking whether all of the projects could genuinely be called new hospitals or whether they are extensions or refurbishments. as far as you are aware, are we talking about actually a0 completely new buildings? about actually 40 completely new buildinus? ,., ., ., ,, i. buildings? good evening, thank you for havin: buildings? good evening, thank you for having me _ buildings? good evening, thank you for having me on. _ buildings? good evening, thank you for having me on. i— buildings? good evening, thank you for having me on. i don't _ buildings? good evening, thank you for having me on. i don't think - buildings? good evening, thank you for having me on. i don't think we i for having me on. i don't think we are. i think the information that we have may of this year suggested that there are 13 fully new hospitals, two expansions of a&e, five

pressurised position. and a further wave will add more pressure to that situation. ., , , ., ., situation. rory deighton from the nhs confederation, _ situation. rory deighton from the nhs confederation, thank- situation. rory deighton from the nhs confederation, thank you - situation. rory deighton from the nhs confederation, thank you for your time this evening. an avalanche sparked by the collapse of the largest glacier in the italian alps has killed at least five people and injured eight others. the glacier collapsed on the mountain of marmolada, the highest in the italian dolomites. helicopters were scrambled to take part in the rescue operation and to monitor the situation from the air. the area has seen unusually hot weather in recent days. local officials say around 15 hikers were in the area at the time and there are fears the death toll may rise. the metropolitan police has said no further action will be taken, at this time, following an allegation of sexual assault against the glasgow north mp patrick grady. officers said they carried out enquiries, including speaking to the alleged victim. mr grady suspended his snp membership as a result of the investigation. he was previously suspended

from parliament for two days, after he was found to have made a sexual advance to a teenage member of staff. a 1a—year—old boy has been arrested after a woman said she was raped at a nightclub in manchester. the police believe she and her friends had been offered drugs before the alleged attack on wednesday. the boy, arrested on suspicion of rape, has been bailed as inquiries continue. the nightclub — bloom — has since temporarily closed while the investigation continues. heavy rain and wind is creating a life—threatening emergency situation for residents in australia's biggest city, sydney. thousands have been told to leave their homes in the south west of the city because of the risk of flash floods and landslides. from sydney, shaimaa khalil reports. another extreme weather event, only a few months since the last one. in the southwestern sydney suburb of camden, home to more than 100,000 people, local shops and a petrol

station were inundated. not much else has been spared here. many communities have seen a month's worth of rain in the last two days alone. thousands of residents were ordered to evacuate southwest sydney. with torrential rain and damaging winds thrashing the east coast, wind and rain had been relentless in sydney and the surrounding areas with more wet weather expected across new south wales. this is the start of the school holidays here. many families were getting ready to travel, but the message from the emergency services is that unless you are ordered to evacuate, people should stay home. heavy rains have also caused sydney's main dam to overspill and the bureau of meteorology is warning of more flood risks. we are now facing dangers on multiple fronts. flash flooding, riverine flooding and coastal erosion. this is a life—threatening emergency situation.

experts say the flooding emergency has been worsened by climate change and other new weather phenomenon. insurance companies warned that communities prone to flooding may be forced to relocate as new figures suggest that floods earlier this year were one of the country's costliest ever natural disasters. the food and drink federation has warned that "relentless" food prices may not peak until next year, with inflation set to hit double—digits. the group, which represents uk food and drink manufacturers, said it usually takes between seven and 12 months for producers' costs to reach shop shelves. our business correspondent noor nanji is here. no good news in this, as they are, because people are clearly already feeling the cost of living crisis. it is clear from what the federation is saying that prices have still got

some way to rise. so give us a sense of how expensive it could get to do your supermarket shop. we of how expensive it could get to do your supermarket shop.— of how expensive it could get to do your supermarket shop. we know that the rices your supermarket shop. we know that the prices are — your supermarket shop. we know that the prices are going _ your supermarket shop. we know that the prices are going up. _ your supermarket shop. we know that the prices are going up. we _ your supermarket shop. we know that the prices are going up. we are - the prices are going up. we are seeing that all around. we are now facing a warning we are some way off the peak. this warning has come from the peak. this warning has come from the food and drink federation and the food and drink federation and the boss, karen bette, who says food price inflation could continue to rise into next year due to soaring costs. food inflation, the rate at which prices are rising, was already at 6.7% in april, 8.7% in may, sir already rising pretty fast. we asked her how far she thought they could go. how far it will go really is anyone's guess. it is really hard for me to estimate that. but other organisations, economists, have estimated it's going to go well over 10%, and i certainly don't have any evidence to counter that. as i say, food price rises have been relentless over the last few months, there really has been no let—up,

and all of the input costs at the moment continue to rise. what you see in food and drink is there's usually a seven to 12—month time lag in the prices that manufacturers pay before those price rises are felt on shop shelves. so, if manufacturers are still facing price rises now, it follows that, in seven to 12 months' time, we will still be seeing some food price inflation, albeit we hope that it might have levelled off or started to peak by then. supermarkets are trying promotions, offers, 20 think of ways not to pass on all of the cost to consumers but realistically, what are consumers looking at here?— realistically, what are consumers lookin: at here? ~ . , looking at here? what she was saying is that manufacturers _ looking at here? what she was saying is that manufacturers are _ looking at here? what she was saying is that manufacturers are seeing - is that manufacturers are seeing rising input costs. although the manufacturers we speak to talk about higher energy costs, raw materials,

labour costs, and the war in ukraine will push prices up further for things like energy, oil and gas, fertilisers as well. all of that has been going up. but it takes some time for those higher costs to feed down to supermarkets and consumers. that is why there is this idea of the time—lag, hitting consumers later on. other organisations like the institute of grocery distribution, they predict food inflation to go up as far as 15%. all of this is tough for consumers, particularly those on the lowest incomes. . ~ particularly those on the lowest incomes. ., ,, , ., ., particularly those on the lowest incomes. ., ,, ., .,~ , incomes. thank you for taking us throu~h incomes. thank you for taking us through that. _ incomes. thank you for taking us through that, noor. _ incomes. thank you for taking us through that, noor. some - incomes. thank you for taking us through that, noor. some morel incomes. thank you for taking us - through that, noor. some more news about that shooting at the shopping centre in copenhagen a short while ago. the mayor of the city describing the shooting is very serious. our reporter who has been following the story said there was no news as yet on the condition of anyone injured. one person has been

arrested, and we have heard from someone working in a hotel near the shopping centre. he described hearing several bursts of what sounded like automatic or semiautomatic gunfire. so, the mayor of copenhagen warning that the situation, as a result of the shooting at the fields shopping centre, is very serious. that news just coming in. the chief executive of the uk health security agency, damejenny harries, has warned that the number of people being admitted to hospital with covid is expected to rise further. the latest uk figures show that infectionsjumped by more than half a million in a week. our health editor hugh pym gave us more detail on dame jenny's comments. she's acknowledging that there is another wave at the moment and that it's not finished. and she is saying if you look at the numbers, she didn't give a timeframe on this, but there could well be more in hospital with covid

than there were back in march. that was the previous peak, around 16,500. there's currently around 9000 in hospital now. so it's a warning that it could be higher, fuelled by these new variants of the variant, omicron, which spread more rapidly. now, it has to be said, you look at the hospital numbers, they are not all by any means people who have gone in primarily because of covid. a certain number of them have other conditions and then tested positive. but it does put more pressure on the nhs and nhs providers, who represent trusts in england, have said this means that there will be a bumpy ride over the coming months with existing pressure already there in the nhs. damejenny harries also warned that the flu season may come earlier in the autumn, as well as another covid wave so certainly rather a cautionary note from her today. time now for a look at the weather, with lucy martin.

hello there. sunday brought a day of sunny spells and scattered showers. as we go through tonight, we continue to see a feed of showers and a few spells of rain across scotland, northern ireland, northern england and eventually into northern wales into the early hours. to the south of that, though, it's a largely dry picture with patchy cloud and clear spells. temperatures fairly similar to where they've been over the past few nights, sitting between 8—13 celsius. tomorrow, then, a fairly blustery start to the day across scotland, northern ireland, northern england, the winds tending to ease across northern ireland and northern england. a mixture of sunny spells and showers to be found here, although fewer showers than we've seen on sunday. for central, southern england and wales we'll see a band of cloud slip its way south, but sunny spells following on behind, with temperatures at a maximum of 23 celsius. and then a quick glance at the week ahead — temperatures are going to pick up across the board, but particularly in the south. take a look at the temperatures in london towards the weekend — getting up to 27 celsius by sunday.

hello this is bbc news. the headlines... one person has been arrested after shots were fired at a shopping centre in copenhagen. several people are said to be injured. six new claims of inappropriate behaviour by former deputy chief whip chris pincher have emerged — days after he was suspended as a tory mp after allegations he groped two men. russia says it now controls the whole of the luhansk region in eastern ukraine officials in turkey say customs have detained a russian cargo ship carrying grain — which ukraine says is stolen. and now in bbc news it is time. stay. and now in bbc news it is time for sportsday.
