live from london, this is bbc news. in the uk, the prime minister is considering a report on allegations of bullying against his deputy prime minister dominic raab. we are live in downing street where we await for the prime minister to descide what mr rabb's fate will be. iam in i am in westminster and it's a waiting game here, a report that has taken five months to produce is now in rishi sunak�*s hands as is the future of one of his key political allies. almost 80 people are crushed to death at a ramadan charity event in yemen. spacex's first uncrewed test flight ends in explosion nearly 4 minutes after a succesful lift off in texas.

the results of an investigation into allegations of bullying by the uk's deputy prime minister, dominic raab, have been delivered to rishi sunak. the prime minister is said to be carefully considering the findings before deciding whether mr raab broke ministerial rules. mr raab, who is also justice secretary, denies bullying staff and says he always "behaved professionally". let's cross live now to college green. we are expecting something in the next hour. green. we are expecting something in the next hour-— the next hour. yes. we have been exectin: the next hour. yes. we have been expecting something _ the next hour. yes. we have been expecting something for— the next hour. yes. we have been expecting something for awhile i the next hour. yes. we have been i expecting something for awhile now. been about four hours since we first heard that report had been to rishi sunak. it's been quite a sunny day

care but of course people are still wondering whether this could turn out to be a dark day for the deputy prime minister. we understand that rishi sunak is carefully considering this report. of course it's up to him to make a judgment because this report will contain facts but rishi sunak will have to decide what those facts mean. it's important to take a look back atjust how facts mean. it's important to take a look back at just how we facts mean. it's important to take a look back atjust how we got facts mean. it's important to take a look back at just how we got to facts mean. it's important to take a look back atjust how we got to this moment. forthat look back atjust how we got to this moment. for that we have got our reporter david wallace. dominic raab has been the subject of an investigation since november. eight complaints involving 2a people. let's make our next prime minister, please welcome rishi sunak! a close ally of the prime minister, he was brought back into government, including a role as deputy prime minister, when mr sunak entered number ten, but it didn't take long for allegations of previous bullying behaviour to emerge — allegations he has always denied. is dominic raab a bully? are you? no. can you imagine any situation

in which officials you have worked with might have felt your behaviour was unacceptable ? i hope not, but you are impinging on what is the subject of an inquiry. please allow me not to get into any of the detail of that. they concluded investigation, undertaken by an independent lawyer, is now with the prime minister. he has a decision to make. the inquiry has hung over mr raab for months, a convenient taunt for political opponents. the deputy prime minister knows first—hand the misery caused by intimidating behaviour, looking with menace, exploding in fits of rage, creating a culture of fear, and maybe even, i don't know, throwing things! so can i ask him, under his new anti—social behaviour, does he think more bullies will be

brought tojustice? the purpose of this investigation was to establish the facts, not to make a judgment. what happens next is largely down to rishi sunak. he is judge and jury. his decision will be heavily influenced by this report. we don't have it yet, but we do expect to see its findings soon. even senior ministers are still in the dark. dominic is a friend of mine, and i have the highest regard for him and his professionalism. i know that this report has been handed over to the prime minister, he will be reflecting on it, and we will have a decision later. do you know what is in the report? i don't know, i'm afraid. the uncertainty for dominic raab is almost over, but will his career be too, or can he ride out the findings? we won't have to wait long to find out. david wallace lockhart, bbc news, westminster. as we wait to find out what's in the

report and what rishi sunak makes of it, let's speak to dave penman, general secretary of the fda union which represents people work in public service. this is being lodged politically across the spectrum. civil servants are watching it as well. . , ., civil servants are watching it as well. . , civil servants are watching it as well. ., , ., , well. can you be -- imagine being the civil servant _ well. can you be -- imagine being the civil servant was _ well. can you be -- imagine being the civil servant was raised - well. can you be -- imagine being the civil servant was raised of- well. can you be -- imagine being the civil servant was raised of the | the civil servant was raised of the complaint, — the civil servant was raised of the complaint, sitting in the department, watching television to find out _ department, watching television to find out your fate? having raised a complaint — find out your fate? having raised a complaint about the deputy prime ministen — complaint about the deputy prime minister. just demonstrate what a farce _ minister. just demonstrate what a farce this— minister. just demonstrate what a farce this whole process is as an effective — farce this whole process is as an effective way of dealing with very serious _ effective way of dealing with very serious complaints of bullying. how unusual is this? _ serious complaints of bullying. firm? unusual is this? civil servants are not known for causing forces. you play your cards close to your chest. is this unusual? it is and the reason — is this unusual? it is and the reason is _ is this unusual? it is and the reason is people don't have confidence in challenging ministerial misconduct. we conducted

earlier i spoke to british astronaut, sir tim peake, and asked him how important these test flights are. the starship launch is incredibly important — the starship launch is incredibly important for future space exploration because it's going to be what provides the human mind system there is— what provides the human mind system there is going to take the astronauts that arrive in lunar orbit— astronauts that arrive in lunar orbit on— astronauts that arrive in lunar orbit on the orion capsule launched by an— orbit on the orion capsule launched by an sls _ orbit on the orion capsule launched by an sls rocket but it's the starship— by an sls rocket but it's the starship that will transport those astronauts from orion down to the surface _ astronauts from orion down to the surface of— astronauts from orion down to the surface of the moon. without starship— surface of the moon. without starship we cannot go to the surface of the _ starship we cannot go to the surface of the moon— starship we cannot go to the surface of the moon and of the canon programme. what's even more exciting for the _ programme. what's even more exciting for the long _ programme. what's even more exciting for the long term is that starship is also _ for the long term is that starship is also a — for the long term is that starship is also a rocket that is capable of doing _ is also a rocket that is capable of doing a _ is also a rocket that is capable of doing a mass transit so this could be doing a mass transit so this could he the _ doing a mass transit so this could be the rocket that really forges this new — be the rocket that really forges this new era of space exploration far ahead — this new era of space exploration far ahead into this new era of space exploration farahead into our this new era of space exploration far ahead into our solar system and takes _ far ahead into our solar system and takes humans to mars.— takes humans to mars. ma'or tim peake making * takes humans to mars. ma'or tim peake making it h takes humans to mars. ma'or tim peake making it clear_ takes humans to mars. ma'or tim peake making it clear why _ takes humans to mars. major tim peake making it clear why it's - takes humans to mars. major tim peake making it clear why it's sol peake making it clear why it's so

computers on board or somebody on the ground triggered that system and blew the rocket apart. but they will have got two or three minutes of data which is two or three minutes of data they didn't have at the beginning of the day. the rocket will have been festooned, it's the first time they put the two parts together and tried to fly them. quite often rockets to fail. i can't remember the actual statistics but around a third of all rockets on the maiden flights fail. we've seen quite a few of those already this year and this is one more. the muslim holiday of eid is a time of celebration a time to spend with family and friends. in yemen, that celebration has been shattered by the news that 80 people have been killed in a crush at a school. hundreds of people, including many children, had gathered to receive gifts

of money at a charity event arranged by local businesses in the capital, sanaa. there are not many images coming out of the country following last night's stampede, and most of those we have seen are too graphic or distressing to be shared. let us get more on this with bbc monitoring journalist hesham shawish, focussing on middle east and north africa. give us a bit more insight into what happened. the give us a bit more insight into what ha ened. ., ., , ., happened. the media outlets have re orted happened. the media outlets have reported that _ happened. the media outlets have reported that 85 _ happened. the media outlets have reported that 85 people _ happened. the media outlets have reported that 85 people were - happened. the media outlets have | reported that 85 people were killed and hundreds have been injured following this stampede at the school last night. there were thousands of people queueing up to receive donations of aid to mark the end of ramadan and that is when the crash happened. the authorities have

has all led to this humanitarian crisis. many people are reliant on humanitarian aid should why we saw the queues of thousands of people yesterday who are lining up to receive a very small amount, reports were saying they were lining up to receive around $9 which is £7. so people are really reliant on funds. but there are glimpses of hope that the war in yemen is winding down. we saw over the weekend major prisoner swaps between the saudi backed government and the authorities. so we are seeing some glimpses that the humanitarian situation may improve.

let's take your life to the scene at downing street because we are keeping an eye on that famous door because we are still waiting and a lot of people are waiting for rishi sunak to tell us what he makes of a report that he was handed just a few hours ago on his deputy prime minister, dominic raab, who has been accused of bullying staff in several ministerial roles. we are waiting for him to make a decision on number ten has said that pm wants to consider the findings carefully first. the investigation has taken five months and has included interviews with many people who have given evidence of the inquiry including dominic raab himself. that is the scene at downing street. we also have correspondence waiting for something to be announced. for now, around the world and across the uk, you are watching bbc news.

you're live with bbc news. nearly a week of fighting between rival military factions medical leaders are urging the government and junior doctors to use independent arbitration to help resolve their pay dispute in england. as a result of a 4 day strike byjunior doctors last week. here's our health editor hugh pym. there have been two strikes byjunior doctors in england and more have not been ruled out. we want steve barclay to come round and negotiate. today, the academy of medical royal colleges with leading figures in the medical profession say they are concerned about the lack of a solution and that an independent body such as acas should be brought in to broker talks. we do not want to interfere individuals' right to take industrial action. what we do want is for both parties

to have some flexibility, make some compromise, come out of your entrenched positions and please, please start talking. whatever it takes to start talking, let's do it because this won't be resolved without talks. what do we want? fair pay! the doctors' union, the british medical association, has said there needs to be a 35% pay rise to compensate for inflation, though today, there were hints that was negotiable. people are tied up on this 35% figure. there is no number that is set in stone here. it's the principle of restoring pay that has been lost in its value. in order to discuss what that means and how that is achieved it needs people to sit round a table. the health secretary steve barclay says his door is open but that strike action has to be paused and the 35% claim dropped. this morning, other ministers were asked whether it was time for independent arbitration.

i do think it is important that we engage closely with them because those who work at the front line of our nhs are some of our most valuable public sector workers, but i know that the health secretary steve barclay is committed to negotiating. he's got a deal with unison, one of the very important trade unions here. i'm sure that steve talking to the doctors, talking to the nurses, will find a way forward to put patients first. i've just visited the office of steve barclay... - junior doctors pressing for talks demonstrated outside mr barclay's office last week but right now there seems little prospect of serious negotiations getting under way. hugh pym, bbc news. nearly a week of fighting between rival military factions in sudan is now thought to have killed at least 330 people. people have been desperately trying to leave the sudanese capital, there were armed clashes across sudan through the night, despite attempts to arrange

a ceasefire to allow foreign citizens to leave, and for possible negotiations. the un says 16 hospitals across sudan have been forced to shut down completely. nine of them, in the capital. the humanitarian response in sudan remains severely hampered. attacks against aid workers, looting of humanitarian facilities, must stop now. humanitarians must be able to safely carry out their work. aid agencies must be able to safely move staff and replenish critical supplies. meanwhile we are worried that sudan's healthcare system could completely collapse. let's bring you live pictures of khartoum. smoke is rising across the horizon. it is of course about two hours ahead of us so sunset is coming to the city and the fighting is continuing. that cross live now to our correspondent in nairobi.

tell me what we know about the latest in terms of the fighting? there is no sign the fighting is going to stop or wound down any time soon. taste going to stop or wound down any time soon. ~ . , going to stop or wound down any time soon. . ., , ., , , ., soon. we have seen no signs of the fiuuhtin soon. we have seen no signs of the fighting stopping- _ soon. we have seen no signs of the fighting stopping. it's _ soon. we have seen no signs of the fighting stopping. it's evening - soon. we have seen no signs of the fighting stopping. it's evening nowl fighting stopping. it's evening now in sudan and probably the last day of ramadan. but hundreds of thousands of people are still holed up thousands of people are still holed up in the houses, food supplies are running out and people don't have access to water. some people have been. to leave their houses to try to make it to the river. some people are just trying to get some water for the families and food for the children and to be able to put the phone on charge to reach out to their loved ones. around 330 people have been killed and more than 3000 people injured and still the generals that are going head—to—head

and adhering to any ceasefire. right now this meeting is happening between the african union, the un and the arab league and we expect to communicate to come after. we don't know what it will say or if it will have an impact because so far all calls from the international community have gone unheeded. this community have gone unheeded. as this continues, life for people in khartoum has become unbearable. it has become unbearable. there are people who need urgent medical aid but they are not able to get the ataid because even if they get to the hospitals the doctors say most of the hospitals have either been sheued of the hospitals have either been shelled or looted and the people in armed uniform are coming in and taking medicine that is supposed to take care of children. so it's a dire situation. families outside sudan are now getting concerned because they are at a point where

they cannot make phone calls into sudan. so really fluid situation. thank you very much indeed. let's bring you live pictures once again of number 10 downing street because we've had some news coming out of downing street. a spokesman for the prime minister said the pm is still considering findings of the report into dominic raab plasma behaviour and a spokesman for rishi sunak said they couldn't say how long the prime minister would take to make a decision about the deputy prime minister because my future body wanted to publish the report quickly. a spokesman says dominic raab remains in post on the premise that still has confidence in him. number ten would not give any details on the length of the report. we are waiting for that report on bbc news and as always you can go to our live page and of course they will pursue on bbc news. —— stay

with us here. hello there. of the day. it is a chilly wind blowing once again, with high pressure to the north of the uk, the winds coming in off the north sea, even a bit of haar flirting with the east coast of scotland. down those north sea coasts it will feel particularly chilly, perhaps no better than 10—11 degrees, highest temperatures in sheltered western areas could make 18 in the western highlands. some cloud and patchy rain heading into east anglia and the south—east later this afternoon. that will push east overnight, the rains tending to die off after a while, but more wet weather coming into eastern parts of england later. further north will keep clearer skies, with the winds dropping it will turn chilly as well, could be below freezing by the early morning in the grampians tomorrow morning. let's focus on the wet weather, though, across england and wales. that's a big change from

the sunshine we are seeing today, that first band of heavy rain pushes eastwards and whilst it may well brighten up in southern areas, that will trigger one or two thundery, heavy showers, while it will stay england, but not as strong in the south—east and here temperatures may sneak up to 1a degrees, but on the whole it will be cooler across england and wales, but some warm sunshine to come across scotland and northern ireland, temperatures 16 or 17 here. the rain and cloud across england and wales mean the tree pollen levels tomorrow will be reduced. still got some high levels across much of scotland and northern ireland. heading into the weekend and some more cloud and further rain at times across england and wales maybe nudging into southernmost parts of scotland and the eastern side of northern ireland, a few showers could be breaking out in the south here, temperatures again up to 1a. again across northern scotland the chance of more cloud coming in, particularly across the north—east of the country. low pressure will bring in some

chances of rain on saturday. that will start to draw in on sunday, allowing the wind direction to change to a northerly and that will bring colder air down from the north, particularly for the start of next week. but on sunday we still have some showers across england and wales, they will be driving to the south—east and could well affect the london marathon.
