downing street has said. mr pincher resigned from the government on thursday, after allegations of sexual misconduct were made against him. let's get more on this from our political correspondent, nick eardley, joins me from westminster. when chris pincher stood on on thursday he admitted he had got drunk and embarrassed himself but over the weekend there have been several allegations of sexual misconduct in the newspapers, they had been denied by chris pincher to the newspapers. there is this increase in question over what the prime minister knew about allegations and when. on friday, we were told by downing street that the prime minister was not aware of specific allegations. this morning, the outline has changed from number ten who said the prime minister was aware of rumours and speculation. before chris pincher was given a job

in the whips office in parliament. remember, thatjob as deputy chief whip meant he was in charge of party discipline, he also had a row in mps welfare. numberten discipline, he also had a row in mps welfare. number ten has also not denied a claim made by some who worked in number ten under boris johnson that mrjohnson used the term pincher by name, pincher by nature. the prime minister �*s spokesman said it was not deemed acceptable to stop mr pincher getting his whips office role because of unsubstantiated allegations but i think this will raise more questions for the prime minister and for downing street about hisjudgment in putting mr pincher into that role. some tory mps i have been speaking to this morning are deeply uncomfortable with this story and what it says about the judgment of the prime minister. about the 'udgment of the prime minister. . ~ about the 'udgment of the prime minister. ., ~ , ., firefighters in bedford are tackling a large blaze at a block of flats

climate. shaimaa khalil, bbc news. our top story this lunchtime: the bbc says it's received six complaints about alleged bullying or sexual misconduct by the dj tim westwood and that one was referred to the police. still to come on the programme: here at wimbledon we await the return of nick kyrgios. coming up on the bbc news channel: england look to limit the damage on the fourth day of final test with india. they're on the hunt for wickets — can they deliver, as they look to save themselves from defeat at edgbaston? school caterers have told the bbc that rising food prices are changing what they provide for children's lunches in england and wales. some caterers have switched to cheaper imported meats,

and changed the fruit and vegetables on offer. catering companies say the cost of basic groceries has increased by as much as 30%, and they're calling for the money for school dinners to be ring—fenced. our education editor branwenjeffreys reports. hello, good morning, paul. there you go! the early food delivery for the school lunch. oh, potatoes today. even the humble spud is more expensive than it used to be. and the roast dinner here is now gammon. this primary gets its food from caterers supplying 69 schools across plymouth. but across england and wales, caterers have told the bbc prices are going up, driving changes on school meal menus. in plymouth we have had to look carefully at the meat we buy. so we've taken beef off the menu. we have been buying that from farms in cornwall. we have replaced it with gammon, we have reduced the amount of chicken that we are using

and replaced that with turkey. this wholesaler down the road supplies the plymouth school caterers. rising fuel costs are just one of their headaches. they have faced sudden shortages of some fruit and veg. and the war in ukraine has made prices unpredictable. since january, we have never, anybody in this trade has never experienced what we have saw over the last few months. luckily now, things are levelling out on the produce side, due to the fact a lot of it is local coming through and english products. everything in these crates is destined for local schools. now, at the moment, prices are quite stable, because we are into the british growing season, but the fear is that this autumn and winter could see further big price hikes. yea! let the show time begin. for school catering teams, it's getting harder to make everything add up. fourand four is? eight! and eight and eight is? 16!

wow! children might have to get used to more changes on their plate, even though most of them like familiar foods. what do you like about the roast dinner best? rest chicken. i like the potatoes more. you have cleared your plate, what do you like about school dinners? i like the taste of the food and also the vegetables. with half the children here getting free school meals, good food matters. just losing beef off the menu had had an effect. sometimes it is not until you do something like that that you realise the impact. so, for example, some children stopped having roast dinner and we are saying, "why is that?" "oh, i really like the roast beef and yorkshire puddings." so, that's really sad, because with the roast, the red meat, comes a lot of offers around vegetables that they might not otherwise try. the number of children who need free school meals

has gone up. in england, more money has been gone into meals for the very youngest, with the government giving 7p a child extra each day. a welcome increase, but one that could be overtaken by prices. branwen jeffreys, bbc news, plymouth. plans to let nurseries and childminders look after more two—year—olds in england are to be put to parents. at the moment one adult can be in charge of four children aged between two and three, but the government says it wants to reduce the cost of childcare by following the scottish model of one adult caring forfive children. the education secretary nadhim zahawi has insisted that "the safety of children is paramount". the consultation is expected to take eight weeks. the labour leader sir keir starmer is to use a speech later today to explain how he believes he could make brexit work better for the uk. he's expected to renew pledges not to take the uk back into the eu

single market and customs union, or restore freedom of movement for workers, if he becomes prime minister. let's speak to our political correspondent ben wright who's in westminster. what more do we think we are going to hearfrom the labour leader? tau to hear from the labour leader? you will remember _ to hear from the labour leader? you. will remember back in december 2019, borisjohnson won the general election with a promise to get brexit done. well, now, labour's keir starmer wants to win, he hopes, the next election with a promise to make brexit work. that has been his slogan for some time and tonight he will flesh out what that slogan means. i do hit the marks a tactical shift for the party. it was only three years ago that keir starmer himself was calling for a second referendum to try and break the brexit deadlock that was gripping westminster. it has been a problematic issue for the party. many of the seats it lost in 2019 voted leave in the referendum. but a

lot of labour activists would like to see and are still calling for closer relation hship between the uk and the eu. the london mayor said he would like to see the uk rejoin the single market. but keir starmer will say emphatically that is not going to happen, the uk won'tjoin the eu if he becomes prime minister, there will be no rejoining the single market or return of free movement. i think what he is trying to do is close down a potential line of attack from the tories, he wants to make this about what he sees as brexit�*s failings and missed opportunities. he will stay for instance that he would like to cut side deals with the eu to make the situation in northern ireland work better. new mutual recognition deal of qualifications. this according to keir starmer is about the practical

consequences of brexit and not the principle, which he says it settled. ben, thank you. easyjet has announced that its chief operating officer peter bellew has resigned. it comes amid growing pressure on the airline to reduce flight disruptions. our transport correspondent katy austin is with me. what's happening and what does it all mean? . ,_ .,, what's happening and what does it all mean? ., ,_ .,, ., all mean? easyjet has said that the man in charge _ all mean? easyjet has said that the man in charge of _ all mean? easyjet has said that the man in charge of the _ all mean? easyjet has said that the man in charge of the airline's - man in charge of the airline's operations has quit and a colleague will be stepping up into that role. easyjet hasn't given a reason other than he is leaving to pursue new opportunities. but easyjet has been going through a challenging time, as have other aviation businesses with staff shortages and a big underlying issue in the sector. easyjet has cancelled thousands of flights, including over the summer holiday period. many of them in advance. that is partly in response to flight

numbers reduced and partly to reduce the chances of disruption and give people a chance to rebook. but the boss of easyjet said everyone remains focussed on delivering a safe and reliable operation this summer. given some of the problems we have seen earlier this year, there is a lot of attention on whether things will be better for the summer and businesses say they're doing everything they can to make sure things run as smoothly as possible. make sure things run as smoothly as ossible. . ~ make sure things run as smoothly as ossible. ., ,, , ., the poet, playwright and author joseph coelho has been named the new children's laureate, which celebrates outstanding achievement in the field of children's literature. the 42—year—old was presented with the title by the outgoing laureate, dame cressida cowell. joseph coelho said he wants to "highlight and celebrate the power of poetry" in his new role. england's cricketers are fighting to save the rearranged

of the royal botanic gardens at kew since 1845, but was mistakenly identified as another species. our science editor, rebecca morelle, has the story. they're a marvel of the botanical world — giant water lilies dominating the pond in kew gardens. but these aren't just extraordinary to look at — they're also a species that's new to science. they are huge, aren't they? and they feel so strong. yeah. when you press down on them. under the path there is a network of nerves and they're filled with air, so basically it's like a floating mat. for years these plants have masqueraded as another species, but carlos magdelana, one of the world's leader water lily experts, long suspected this wasn't the case. when you think this is a new species, you have to demonstrate it, and this is what we have done. it's one of those things i cannot put into words. i believe it is the highlight of my career. and this new species is called victoria boliviana, named after bolivia, where it grows in the wild. standing here, you really get

a sense ofjust how huge this is. this is one plant and it's still growing. not only is this the first discovery of a new giant water lily species in more than 100 years, it is also now the biggest water lily in the world, with leaves that grow to more than three metres — that's 10 feet — in size. astonishingly, the new species had been hiding in kew's archives for more than 150 years. a specimen was collected and dried and stored, but wrongly identified. the discovery now brings the number of giant water lily species to three and a key part of studying them is to make detailed botanical drawings, where the differences start to stand out. this is the open flower of the new species. i think it's one of the most — maybe i'm biased — but out of three species i think it is one of the most beautiful flowers. drawings of the different water lilies reveal their unique features.

i could, as an illustrator, highlight those differences i saw. and in fact when i was drawing those differences they became even stronger in my mind and i found new ways of telling them apart. the water lily house was built in the 1800s to showcase kew's extensive collection. water lilies were a natural wonder of the victorian age. but this new discovery shows these giants, even today, hold some surprises and scientists say they still have much to learn about these remarkable plants. rebecca morelle, bbc news. time for a look at the weather, here's susan powell. from lilies ies to daisies. sunny spells for many parts this afternoon. but temperatures down for where we would expect. through this week, warmer weather is on the way. cool today, because we have a
