and there. there is a chilly wind blowing. we've got high pressure for the momentjust north of us, that means the winds are coming and off the north sea and the weather front will bring more cloud into east anglia and the south—east of england and eventually a few showers as well and eventually a few showers as well and there may be a little bit of low cloud and haar toying with the east coast of scotland. otherwise plenty of sunshine, chilly down the north sea coasts with the wind off the sea, highest temperatures probably in the western highlands, 18 degrees here. this evening we will see the wetter weather pushing its way further inland, probably not too much rain, it is is off overnight but there will be more cloud for england and wales, heavy rain perhaps turning to eastern parts of england by the morning. it will be milderfor england and england by the morning. it will be milder for england and wales, further north colder and in the grampian region temperatures could be below freezing. tomorrow, a different story for england and wales, an arc of rain moving through and while it may brighten up it could trigger heavy thundery showers. scotland and northern

ireland likely to stay dry and a good deal of sunshine. perhaps stronger winds across southern scotland and the north of england. the winds in the south—east of england won't be as strong as today, but with more cloud around and the chance of the rain those temperatures are going to be lower than today for england and wales, but warm in the sunshine for scotland and northern ireland, temperatures reaching 16—17. with the sunshine we have some high tree pollen levels for scotland and northern ireland but with more cloud a chance of england and wales, the levels will be lower than today. for the weekend a band of rain may move further north across england and wales, may be threatening scotland. some sunshine may be further south and a few showers as well, temperatures may be peaking at 1a degrees. more cloud into the north—east of scotland, temperatures beginning to drop, signs of things to come really. low pressure bringing the wetter weather into saturday will tend to slide away on sunday. that allows the wind direction to change and a northerly

wind comes down and it will bring with it some colder weather. this is the story for sunday. we've got some showers around for england and wales, driving down towards the south—east. it could impact the london marathon. a lot of cloud following that and the showers in scotland is beginning to turn wintering over the high ground. temperatures in northern scotland on sunday eight degrees, 10 degrees lower than today. further south, still have highs of 13—111, but it will be colder in the south on monday. that's all from the bbc news at one. it's goodbye from me. on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. have a good afternoon, by bike. hello, i'm hugh ferris. welcome to sportsday. these are our top stories. tuning a makeshift united would have manchester united would have fancied their chances of making

hello there. it is a bright, sunny day here in westminster, barely a cloud in the sky, although certainly there is a metaphorical cloud hanging over the political future of dominic raab. thejeopardy prime ministerfaces dominic raab. thejeopardy prime minister faces allegations of senior civil servants. minister faces allegations of senior civilservants. five minister faces allegations of senior civil servants. five months ago rishi sunak commissioned an inquiry into these allegations and we await the result of that inquiry today. we are watching downing street, we have our cameras trained on matador, just in case something happens, we understand that rishi sunak is considering this report and we expect to hearfrom him considering this report and we expect to hear from him about his judgment, caused dominic raab has denied these allegations, denied any wrongdoing and has even offered to resign if these allegations are upheld. so we wait to see what happens with that. but it's worth taking a moment to remind you of how we got to this place in the first place and to do that,

let's go to our newsroom. dominic raab was first elected to parliament in 2010 and has served as a minister underfour prime ministers — david cameron, theresa may, borisjohnson and now rishi sunak, who he supported in the leadership election against liz truss. so where do these allegations date back to? well, the first reporting was on the 11th of november in 2022, when the guardian reported that there were concerns about dominic raab's behaviour. a day later, the opposition parties called for an inquiry into those claims. on the 14th of november, the prime minister, rishi sunak, said that he was unaware of any formal complaints against mr raab, whilst on the 16th of november we heard that he was facing the inquiry over two complaints. indeed, he wrote to the prime minister saying that he wanted an independent investigation. he also said he had never tolerated any bullying. on the 23rd of november, number 10 confirmed that the independent investigation would be led by the lawyer adam tolley. that same day, the bbc�*s newsnight reported that he

could face other claims. questions for the deputy prime minister, dominic raab, tonight over his conduct in office. newsnight has been told that several of mr robb's former private secretaries are preparing to submit formal bullying complaints against him. later in november we learnt that the investigation had been extended to a third complaint, whilst on the 14th of december, number 10 said that five more complaints about the justice secretary were being investigated. the guardian published this article on the 25th of january saying that at least 2a civil servants were involved in the complaints against dominic raab. during prime minister's questions on the 1st of february, the prime ministerfaced pressure over what he knew about the claims. this is what he told our political editor, chris mason. even informal ones raised with you about the conduct of dominic raab before

you appointed him as your deputy? i've been very clear. i don't recognise the characterisation of dominic's behaviour, and i also was not and am not aware of any formal complaint. i asked if there were any informal. no, well, there's a formal complaints process and that's the important thing that people should avail themselves of if they have... did anyone or any document raise any concerns about his behaviour at all? i was not and am not aware of any formal complaints about dominic's behaviour. on the 26th of february, dominic raab appeared on the laura kuenssberg programme on bbc one and said that he would resign if the bullying claims were upheld. is dominic rod a bully? are you? no. you're confident in that? yes. i'm confident that i behaved professionally throughout. there at eight formal complaints against the deputy prime minister. some of those complaints are from civil servants, and at least 2a people are involved. it is worth re—emphasizing that dominic raab himself has vehemently denied all the allegations.

some context, there, all the context. let's flesh out some of the meaning. caroline slocock is the former private secretary to margaret thatcher and john major. she joins us now from suffolk. shejoins us from she joins us from suffolk. as someone who has played a key role in government, really interested to hear what your reflections are of everything that is happening? weill. everything that is happening? well, i think that everything that is happening? well, | think that this — everything that is happening? well, i think that this is _ everything that is happening? well, i think that this is an _ everything that is happening? -ii i think that this is an incredibly important decision for rishi sunak. i have worked for two minister max, to be effective you have to work effectively —— write to prime ministers. margaret thatcher behaved very well toward civil servants, but

behaved badly to what ministers. but then that ended badly for her, because they bit back. so i think it is very important that ministers and civil servants work well together, because otherwise you cannot deliver as a minister. but perhaps even more importantly than that this is a test of rishi sunak�*s commitment to the integrity and professionalism of everyone in his cupboard. he needs to draw a line between him and his predecessor. the underlying question is this. if it is shown that dominic raab behaved badly, then you would expect the highest standards should apply and he should resign. find expect the highest standards should apply and he should resign. 1&de apply and he should resign. and i have already _ apply and he should resign. and i have already been _ apply and he should resign. and i have already been questions, haven't they, about why dominic raab has stayed in post while this inquiry has been conducted? yes. stayed in post while this inquiry has been conducted?— stayed in post while this inquiry has been conducted? yes. he has had a ivotal has been conducted? yes. he has had a pivotal position, _ has been conducted? yes. he has had a pivotal position, he _ has been conducted? yes. he has had a pivotal position, he is—

has been conducted? yes. he has had a pivotal position, he is not _ has been conducted? yes. he has had a pivotal position, he is notjust - has been conducted? yes. he has had a pivotal position, he is notjust a - a pivotal position, he is notjust a minister, he is deputy minister. they have some argued that have step... and some have argued he should step aside. five months along time. it does sound like a very serious situation. but we are where we are, the point now is that rishi sunak, it isjudgment, now is judgment, now it's isjudgment, now it's up is judgment, now it's up to isjudgment, now it's up to rishi sunak to demonstrate sound judgment and take some tough action if the report suggests. and ask the chancellor either to leave or sacking. chancellor either to leave or sackinu. , . chancellor either to leave or sackina, , ., chancellor either to leave or sackinu. , ., , , chancellor either to leave or sackinu. , ., , ,., ., chancellor either to leave or sackin.. , ., sacking. just to pick up on a point ou sacking. just to pick up on a point you mentioned, _ sacking. just to pick up on a point you mentioned, it— sacking. just to pick up on a point you mentioned, it has _ sacking. just to pick up on a point you mentioned, it has taken - sacking. just to pick up on a point you mentioned, it has taken a - sacking. just to pick up on a point. you mentioned, it has taken a long time to get the results of this

inquiry, five months, the terms of reference did say that this report should be done expediently. why do you think it has taken so long? i think it has been said that they have been a couple of iterations going back and forth. it does involve a certain amount of time. but there is a suspicion that ministers keep these things in the long grass, but the day has come, the results have come back and now rishi sunak has to do something decisive and quite painfulfor him because dominic raab is a very staunch supporter of his leadership campaign. ithink staunch supporter of his leadership campaign. i think it is the interest of the government here. i think rishi sunak is not in a particular strong place himself. he was the right—hand man to borisjohnson, he broke the law, he too was dealing just like he appointed suella
