wants the impact on patients and staff will continue to worsen. —— he warns. our health editor hugh pym reports. trying to get back to normal. are you comfortable as you are, lying on the bed? they are assessing patients who have come through this hospital's emergency department. fully staffed again after the four day strike by junior doctors last week. i'm really worried. i think this is an incredibly difficult time at the moment. the chief executive told me the hospitaljust about coped, but the prospect of further strikes was a huge concern. i think we feel very much like we're getting to the edge of our ability to continue delivering care during these circumstances. our staff are utterly exhausted. it's not that long since we've recovered from the acute phases of a pandemic nationally. our staff need a degree of normality, and i don't believe they can keep stepping forward and supporting people during this action. he told me they'd cancelled 3,000 appointments and operations last week.

rebecca was due to have day surgery at another hospital after ongoing health complications. it was cancelled, though she doesn't blame the junior doctors. myjob had arranged cover for the two weeks where i needed to be off to recover, i'd kind of prepared myself mentally to go through the recovery process and things like that, and also, i do live with a decent amount of pain. but, yeah, i wasn't amazingly pleased that it got cancelled, but i understand why. the prime minister conceded that cancellations would make his target of cutting waiting lists more difficult. there's lots of different initiatives that we've got which are going to help us bring those waiting lists down, and it's something i'm focused on, and i'm going to make sure that we continue to deliver,

but of course industrial action in wales, pay talks are ongoing, and in northern ireland, there are no negotiations. hospitals in england are now focusing on the nurses' strike in two weeks' time, expected to lead many expected to leave many operating theatres empty, as we saw before here. we will be very limited in our ability to offer any elective care and possibly also large degrees of emergency care. what sort of things in a&e might not be there? we are currently reviewing what we can offer on an emergency pathway, but it is possible that elements of our emergency

care will not be open during the period of the strike. as things stand, an end to these disputes in the nhs still seems some way off. let's get more from hugh now. you get a real sense of the deep concern among hospital bosses about how they will cope as the strikes continue. that's right. nhs leaders in england have said that the impact last week in their words was colossal, with more than 27,000 staff at one point not working because of the four day junior doctors' dispute. as we heard, nearly 200,000 cancellations, but they say that may understate the true position, because in some areas, they were not scheduling plan treatment for last week, so in effect postponing that as well. so all eyes now on the nurses' strike over 48 hours, from april 30, affecting all forms of care for the first time. real concern there. we have learnt in the last hour or so that one of the unions representing

ambulance staff and some hospital workers, unite, is going ahead and planning strikes in some areas at the same time as the nurses in england, even before their ballot on the payoff has closed, and they say there are signs of it being rejected in many trusts. thank you. the prime minister is under investigation after facing allegations of a possible failure to declare shares held by his wife in a childcare agency that may benefit from the recent budget. the inquiry has been opened by parliament's standards watchdog. under the rules, mps have to be "open and frank" when declaring their interests. our political editor chris mason reports. laughter meeting parents and toddlers in st austell in cornwall in february, the prime minister and his wife akshata murthy. well done for knowing it's a two! that's clever! the centrepiece of this spring's budget was a big expansion in the provision of free care for preschool children in england. hello, boys and girls! part of that, and boosting the number of providers, the chancellor announced a trial

of payments for new childminders, with more for those who sign through agencies. the prime minister was asked about the government's plans, and his wife being a shareholder in one of those agencies, koru kids, in front of a parliamentary committee last month. obviously we just want to make sure the policy's effective in bringing additional people into the system, because i think... and there's nothing - the prime minister wishes to declare in respect of that? no, all my disclosures are declared in the normal way. today the parliamentary commissioner for standards said he was looking into all of this, and in particular whether rishi sunak had always been open and frank in declaring any relevant interest. i was also shown a letter today that the prime minister sent to the committee after his appearance seeking to clarify what he had said, saying he had declared his wife's shareholding to officials. in the commons this afternoon, the government faced this

question on the matter. ..what conversation she and the secretary of state had with the prime minister and the agency in which his wife is a shareholder prior to the budget? i know that the number ten team are collaborating with the commission to establish facts and show that everything has been transparently declared. no minister wanted to talk to us on camera about all of this today. labour reckon the list of ministers' interests, last published nearly a year ago, needs to see the light of day, and quickly. rishi sunak has a choice. he could decide to come clean right now. he could do that. that's in his gift, and he's choosing not to. he could also decide that it's time the register of ministerial interests was published. that would be a really good way of showing that he was a different person, that he'd ended the era of tory sleaze. do you really think the prime minister is sleazy? it's really hard, isn't it, when someone promises that they are going to be different and yet they seem to be behaving exactly the same way?

the liberal democrats said people wanted a government focused on the country rather than saving its own skin. give us a sense of how bad this could be for the prime minister? we hear a lot about these allegations of so—called sleaze, financial, moral, orwhatever. to be honest, on the richter scale of these things, this feels like a relatively minor tremor, perhaps if you roof tiles dislodged, if you like. at the heart of this are questions around administration and procedure. should rishi sunak have declared explicitly in front of that committee has wife's shareholding? could he have declared it elsewhere more quickly? incidentally, the register of ministers' interest has not been published for nearly a year. it used to come out around every six months. i think that is a symptom of the chaos in politics recently. and i should mention that the labour leader sir keir starmer had a brief run in with the commissioner last summer over

administration and declarations. it blew over pretty quickly, and the prime minister will hope that this does as well too. but a reminder for downing street that if you stand, is rishi sunak did come on yourfirst day in thejob rishi sunak did come on yourfirst day in the job almost six months ago and say at the core of your administration will be integrity, professionalism and accountability, people are going to hold you to it. our political editor chris mason, thank you. one of president putin's most prominent critics has been sentenced to 25 years in prison by a court in moscow after he publicly criticised russia's invasion of ukraine. vladimir kara—murza, who also has british citizenship, is accused of treason and spreading false information. his conviction is widely seen as politically motivated. the uk government has demanded his immediate release. from moscow, our russia editor steve rosenberg reports. handcuffed and in a bullet—proof cage, one of president putin's most prominent critics. vladimir kara—murza faced multiple charges, including treason.

the verdict, guilty. the punishment, a quarter of a century in prison. access to the court room was heavily restricted. with otherjournalists and with foreign diplomats, we crowded into another room to watch on tv screens. for more than a decade, vladimir kara—murza has been a high—profile opponent of the kremlin. he'd lobbied western governments to sanction russian officials for corruption and human rights abuses, and he publicly condemned the war in ukraine. mr kara—murza is also a british citizen. the uk hasjoined international condemnation of his conviction. the british government will continue to support him and stand in solidarity with him and his family, and we will continue to call for his release. vladimir kara—murza has a british passport. what will britain do to try to secure his release? we are continuing to ask

for consular access to mr kara—murza, and we will continue to do that. for a critic of the kremlin, a political opponent of president putin, a prison sentence of 25 years is unprecedented in its severity. and it's a sign that in today's russia, the authorities are determined not only to silence or criticism, but to neutralise anyone and anything they believe could be a threat to the political system here. vladimir is a very strong man. evgenia kara—murza is vladimir�*s wife. when she spoke to me from america before the verdict, she was already preparing for the worst. the 25—year prison sentence, i think this is... well, to me this is a recognition of the effectiveness of vladimir's work. they hate him so much, and they're so much afraid of him out there, you know, running free, that they need to lock him up for a quarter of a century to stop him

from continuing his work. another sign of the times in moscow. this famous museum reminds russians of political repression of the past. it's named after soviet human rights campaigner andrei sakharov, but the authorities have declared it a foreign agent, and now they're evicting it from the building. their final event feels like a swan song for russian democracy. 0f of course, the crackdown on dissent in russia has been going on for some time now, but certainly, it has accelerated since russia's full—scale invasion of ukraine. what we saw today in moscow, the jailing of a kremlin critic for 25 years, thatis of a kremlin critic for 25 years, that is a sign ofjust how dangerous it has become for any politician or activist or opposition figure who

speaks out and challenges the kremlin will stop sophie. thank you, steve. a serving police officer has been charged with raping a woman in 2009 while he was on duty with the devon and cornwall force. 42—year—old sergeant david stansbury has been suspended from hertfordshire police, where he now works. let's get the latest from our west of england correspondent, danjohnson, who's outside police headquarters in exeter. dan. yes, sergeant david stansbury served with devon and cornwall police between 2009 and 2011, and the allegation that was made to police here in 2020 was that whilst on duty in plymouth in 2009, he raped a woman, and he is now being charged by this force and faces three counts of rape against a woman aged 16 or over. he has been suspended from duty. he is still a current serving officer, though not with this force, with hertfordshire police, and he

has been suspended since those allegations were made. detectives have asked anyone who can give any information to help them with this investigation to come forward. it is the early stages of this investigation. david stansbury is due to make his first appearance at court at plymouth magistrates' on wednesday, but he has another serving officer facing allegations, being charged, it will be appearing in court at a time when there has been so much public concern up and down the country about the conduct, the behaviour and the attitudes of some members of the police. dan, thank you. head the head of the united nations has called for an immediate ceasefire in sudan as fierce fighting continues for a third day. at least 100 people have already died, many of them civilians, and the un says the humanitarian situation is now catastrophic. the fighting was sparked at the weekend by these two men vying for overall control in sudan's military. this is the head of the armed forces, general abdel fattah al—burhan. effectively, he is the

country's president. and this is his deputy, mohamed hamdan dagalo, better known as hemedti. he is the leader of rsf, the country's biggest paramilitary group, the rapid support forces. the two men disagree on the direction sudan is going in as it moves towards civilian rule. one of the main sticking points is the role of the paramilitaries in sudan's army and who would lead it. people in the capital khartoum say there are heavy gun battles and air strikes in crowded residential neighbourhoods. our senior africa correspondent anne soy reports. after three days of fighting, airports are still a flashpoint. these satellite images show the damage that has been done in the capital. and these soldiers from rapid support forces claim to have taken control of yet another airport. civilians are bearing the

brunt of the fighting. there is nowhere safe to go. sedan is a majority muslim nation. ramadan is a time to travel to meet friends and family, but not now —— sudan is a majority muslim nation. we have seen bloodshed from both sides. we are just caught in the middle. you know, it isjust... this is our new normal now. middle. you know, it is 'ust... this is our new normal nomb middle. you know, it is 'ust... this is our new normal now. millions who de-end is our new normal now. millions who de end on is our new normal now. millions who depend on humanitarian _ is our new normal now. millions who depend on humanitarian aid - is our new normal now. millions who depend on humanitarian aid are - is our new normal now. millions who depend on humanitarian aid are notl depend on humanitarian aid are not receiving any. the majak d'agoot said a four pause to allow for humanitarian access last week was breached. aid workers have been caught up in the clashes and world food programme has pulled out after three of its workers were killed yesterday. three of its workers were killed yesterday-— three of its workers were killed esterda . , , , ., , yesterday. unless there is a very immediate _ yesterday. unless there is a very immediate humanitarian - yesterday. unless there is a very immediate humanitarian truce i yesterday. unless there is a very| immediate humanitarian truce for yesterday. unless there is a very - immediate humanitarian truce for the people _ immediate humanitarian truce for the people to _ immediate humanitarian truce for the people to get their needs, i think the people will be compelled to do some _ the people will be compelled to do some looting. the the people will be compelled to do some looting-—

league 1 are going to have to play eight games in just two weeks as they look to win the title. the effects of air pollution according to a new report. now, "places for people" —' these kind of signs have been popping up all over england, as more and more councils introduce ways of limiting how much you can drive through local communities. the scheme — paid for by the government — is called low traffic neighbourhoods. it's all about us walking and cycling more to cut air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. but they are also causing deep divisions in communities, as bbc panorama has found out. here's our climate editor, justin rowlatt. this is probably britain's most abused bollard. it's been repeatedly run over, bent, battered, beaten — even burnt. and finally, stolen.

itsjob is to redirect traffic in oxford as part of a low traffic neighbourhood. they're being installed by councils of all political stripes, but not everyone likes them. here they are putting up traffic cameras, and they can't even fix a pothole! new traffic schemes are prompting mass protests across the country. this is in oxford. this is thetford in norfolk... well, i've got to be honest, there's a lot of people here tonight that are pretty concerned as to why you're making decisions on their behalf without consultation. and this is colchester in essex. it's already been decided. you're not fit for purpose. they decided it months ago. some fear local politicians could be intimidated. we're a network of around 107 local authorities from both urban and rural,

and what we've seen is around 17 of those have told us that they've been targeted in some way or another, so this could be the start of a really worrying trend that is emerging from across the uk. and why do you see this as an attack on democracy? isn't this... i mean, people should be allowed to express their views, shouldn't they? absolutely. however, if you've got a couple of extreme voices who are doing all the shouting, all the screaming, they inevitably take up all the bandwidth. there seem to be two ideas of freedom and conflict here. —— there seem to be two ideas of freedom in conflict here. the freedom to drive your car where you want, which is represented by the people here, and the freedom from the pollution and the congestion that cars cause, and they seem to be, these two ideas, irreconcilable. here's actor turned political activist laurence fox. we should be seeking more freedom, not less! i don't want to be restricted by politicians and stuff like that. but some freedoms require limits on others. what about the freedom to be able to cycle down the street without getting knocked off your bike? what about the freedom of asthmatics have better air quality?

so we've given up a lot of different freedoms for the one freedom, to drive your car wherever you want at any time. more roads are being earmarked for restrictions around the country. if it's the road where you live, which side will you be on? justin rowlatt, bbc news, oxford. you can see more on that story on panorama — road wars: neighbourhood traffic chaos, which is on iplayer right now and will be on bbc one at 8pm tonight. now a look at some other stories making the news today. a teenager has been found guilty of murdering 14—year—old tomasz oleszak in gateshead. he was stabbed in his chest last october and died the next day. leighton amies, who was 14 at the time, has claimed he'd attacked tomasz by accident. he will be sentenced injune. a court in paris has cleared airbus and air france of involuntary manslaughter over the deadliest

accident in the history of the airline. more than 200 people were killed when a plane crashed into the atlantic ocean on a flight from rio to paris in 2009. police in the us state of alabama say the four teenagers who died in a mass shooting at a 16th birthday party on saturday were all students at the local high school. nearly 30 others were injured in the attack in the town of dadeville. police still haven't said whether they have a suspect or a motive. prosecutors want the trial of a man accused of murdering a police officer in bradford to be held closer to west yorkshire. piran ditta khan, who was extradited to the uk from pakistan last week, is alleged to have killed pc sharon beshenivsky in 2005. the case is currently being heard at the old bailey, but prosecutors say they're concerned the location would make it harderfor the police to produce witnesses and evidence. and the maiden launch of the most powerful rocket ever built has been postponed at the last moment because of a pressurisation issue. the starship, which is owned

by elon musk�*s company spacex, had been due to blast off from texas. it'll now take at least 48 hours to reset the rocket before the team can try again. the trainer of a horse that died during saturday's grand national has blamed what he called "ignorant" protesters for his animal's death. sandy thomson said the delay to the start of the race after animal rights activists entered the track "unsettled" everyone. the group animal rising said its actions were "aimed to prevent" the death of horses. here's our sports editor dan roan. they were the scenes that racing had been dreading. animal rights protesters at aintree delaying saturday's grand national with 118 arrested. horses were kept in the paddock until the race could start and the trainer of hill 16 who was put down after being injured following at the first fence blame the activists for the death. am the activists for the death. an avera . e the activists for the death. sift average of two followers and
