live from london, this is bbc news. the uk's debris prime minister resigned following an inquiry into bullying allegations. we live in downing street and will have the key details in that report and all the latest political reaction. over 400 people have been killed in fighting between rival military factions in sudan as the international community pushes again for a ceasefire. and representatives from 50 countries have been meeting in germany to discuss speeding up military support for ukraine. welcome to bbc news.

we start with a huge political sotry here in the uk, where the deputy prime minister, dominic raab, has been forced to resign. wherever you're watching, this is a story which touches on issues that everyone can understand — from workplace bullying to difficult or domineering bosses. the investigation into the bullying allegations has been going on for months — a report was given to the prime minister, rishi sunak yesterday. in his resignation letter today — dominic raab claimed the inquiry hadn't been fair, calling it �*kafka—esque,�* and saying the threshold for bullying was now so low, it would encourage spurious complaints, against ministers. let's hear from our political correspondent iain watson for an overview of this morning's developments. let's make him our next prime minister. please welcome rishi sunak. he was a close ally of the prime minister, a key figure in the conservative leadership campaign. but dominic raab has resigned

as deputy prime minister and justice secretary, over claims that he bulliedcivil servants. there was a five—month inquiry by a senior lawyer which looks at eight formal complaints from his time at three government departments. the lawyer, adam tolley, upheld some but not all of the allegations, so at the former brexit department he said that mr raab�*s conduct... but at the foreign office, he found he had acted in a way that was... at the ministry ofjustice, he also found that the deputy prime minister acted in a manner that was intimidating. dominic raab described the work of some officials as utterly useless and woeful. the prime minister said there had been shortcomings in the complaints process

which may have to be addressed in future, but it is very clear from dominic raab�*s resignation letter to rishi sunak, that the now formerjustice secretary believes he was treated unjustly. he said the senior lawyer, adam tolley had dismissed all but two of the claims levelled against him and then challenged those, claiming he had been exonerated about many allegations about his conduct. not once in four and a half years, he said, had his worn or shout at anyone, let alone thrown anything physically intimidating to anyone, and he issued this warning. in setting the threshold for bullying so low, this inquiry has set a dangerous precedent. senior civil servants are calling for a new independent complaints process but did dominic raab have a point about the way he was treated? isn't he right that ministers cannot do the job if they are facing spurious

complaints because makea is not right, the complaints we were involved in were significant complaints from individuals, multiple instances that people were complaining about, and they had a devastating effect on the individuals involved. this was not some spurious snowflake, these were serious complaints. sir gavin williamson resigned over bullying allegations. nadhim zahawi was dismissed for not being transparent over his tax affairs. and labour are questioning the prime minister's judgment in reappointing dominic raab to government. what i think this shows is a continual weakness of the prime minister. there is a double weakness here. you should never have appointed him in the first place along with other members of the cabinet who should not have been appointed, and then he didn't sack him. even today, it is dominic raab who resigned rather than the prime minister who axed. rishi sunak said he would restore integrity into the heart of government but his

personal and political alliances have come under strain. earlier i spoke to rachel cunliffe, senior associate editor at the new statesman, who shared her own experiences of bullying in the workplace. dominic raab says in his resignation letter that the report found no evidence he had shouted or sworn or thrown things at civil servants as though that means he had never bullied them. workplace bullying can come in many forms. often it's a case not of shouting or swearing but of undermining individuals, of setting expectations that change or that can never be met and then telling people they are getting things wrong in front of their colleagues. colleagues being criticised in front of other civil servants. possibly the criticisms were valid or possibly not but that can create a culture where people just come

to work in fear. since i tweeted those things i've had lots of comments from people working in all kinds of fields from politics and journalism to the nhs and education and all kinds of fields, all saying this is behaviour they recognise in their own experience. so many people can look at a story like this and it echoes with people's experience all over the world. we have your twitter feed on the screen at the moment but take us through some of the things that have happened to you. i should say my employer now is a wonderful place to work and none of these examples come from there. but i have had managers who changed their minds constantly and when i wasn't able to pre—empt those changes, that was seen as my fault. i was told off for using a photocopier in the wrong room. little things like that.

i also had the experience of being told i was taking a lunch break at the wrong time or that i had sent an e—mail the wrong way. when you are starting out in a newjob there are all kinds of errors you might make as you are getting used to that workplace and it's the role of a manager to talk you through it. if you come to work and immediately feel terrified of ever making an error, that is obviously going to impact the quality of the work you are able to do and therefore it is going to cause problems for the future. it is a self—perpetuating issue. the union talks about one in six civil servants having issues related to this sort of thing and that is an alarming number if it that is the case. there are so many serious questions that have to be answered in terms of the way this has been handled, we didn't have a publication of the report initially, there has been no actual decision from the prime minister and that allowed dominic raab 24 hours to basically undermine

the whole process. you can read from the fact that dominic raab has resigned that it was in part due to pressure from the prime minister. if rishi sunak had begged him to stay, he probably would have found a way to do that. he published his resignation letter and his article in the telegraph where he says essentially that the report and what has happened to him sets the dangerous precedent for the future of governance in general. he did all of that before rishi sunak issued his own letter and indeed before the report was published. so giving him the chance to set the agenda. and you do have to wonder what was going on yesterday, rishi sunak got this report before midday and it was only at 10am this morning that we finally got an idea of what was going to happen.

we were hearing dominic raab and his defence and what he said in his resignation we were hearing dominic raab and his defence and what he said in his resignation letter. our reporter courtney bembridge has been looking through the report in more detail and pulled out some of the key lines to be aware of. this is the report. it is 48 pages long and very dense. if we have a look at the key question all of this, the definition of bullying, it defines bullying as "intimidating or insulting behaviour that makes an individual feel uncomfortable, frightened, less respected or put down." and there are many examples of dominic raab�*s behaviour that go to this key question of whether it was bullying. let's have a look at some of these ones. it talks about him in meetings with policy officials acting in a manner which was intimidating in the sense of going further than was necessary or appropriate in delivering critical feedback and also insulting in the sense of making unconstructive critical comments about the quality of work done. it talks a lot about dominic raab�*s frustration in some of the ways information was being given to him

in some of these briefings. he talks about asking for the basics, the basic information and when he feels that wasn't being given to him by officials, he was accusing them of a obstructive nurse and described some of their work as utterly useless and woeful. the report, however, goes on to say that the deputy prime minister did not intend by the conduct described to upset or humiliate, nor did he target anyone for a specific type of treatment. so, that is some of the allegations here, there is also more, if we look at the findings here... the findings state that the conduct cannot be characterised as offensive, malicious or insulting. it was experienced as intimidating in the sense of excessively demanding that the report also notes that it could not make a finding as to whether it was in fact intimidating in this sense. there was no evidence to suggest any abuse or misuse of power. so obviously, we are going

through this report line by line in the bbc newsroom and will have more updates for you throughout the day. our reporterjust going through that report and she continues to go through it and will bring us more of the detail in the next while. i will take you back to downing street because that is the life position and we continue to watch as the reaction comes in. i was talking a short while ago about the late leader of the liberal democrats because of the last while he has been talking about the conclusions of today's report and the resignation of dominic raab and he thinks the situation should go further and he says he should now resign as an mp. those were the comments that came from ed davey. let's try and play you that as we continue to get more political reaction in our main story. dominic

time. we will continue to return to that through the course of the next little while. let's now look at the situation in sudan. fighting between the army and paramilitary rapid support forces in sudan has escalated despite international pleas for a truce for the muslim festival to mark the end of holy month of ramadan. gunfire and explosions in the north of the capital, khartoum, have spread to the west and the south. there are reports of troops shooting at eachother in residential areas during the call to morning prayers. the world health organisation says over 400 people are now killed and over 3,500 are injured in the past week. reporting on the ground is obviously extremely perilous and the bbc teams on the ground have provided graphic first hand accounts. so too have the various news agencies like afp with their photojournalists. peter martell is one of the editors for middle east and north africa

for the afp news agency. hejoins me now. thank you for being with us. we thought we would look through some of the pictures that you have received through your aid agencies, you know sudan so well, you used to be head of the bureau there in khartoum. in terms of the ceasefire is, do you think the reality is that the parties on the ground are interested or are they more interested or are they more interested in terms of simply wiping each other out? that interested in terms of simply wiping each other out?— interested in terms of simply wiping each other out? at the moment very sadl ou each other out? at the moment very sadly you are — each other out? at the moment very sadly you are right, _ each other out? at the moment very sadly you are right, the _ each other out? at the moment very sadly you are right, the two - sadly you are right, the two parties, the regular army and the paralympic tree force seem —— para military force seem to be in a battle to gain the upper hand. we've had three calls for ceasefires and all have been agreed but completely ignored by the fighters on the

ground and the shooting has continued. so it seems both sides are determined to defeat the other militarily and ceasefires so far have been passed by in a blooming of guns and explosions. taste have been passed by in a blooming of guns and explosions.— guns and explosions. we are seeing the consequences _ guns and explosions. we are seeing the consequences of _ guns and explosions. we are seeing the consequences of that _ guns and explosions. we are seeing the consequences of that in - guns and explosions. we are seeing the consequences of that in a - the consequences of that in a variety of pictures from your photojournalist. in terms of khartoum, you know that city so well, despite all the explosions of violence over the decades, we have never seen fighting like this in the capital have we? you never seen fighting like this in the capital have we?— capital have we? you are right. sudan has _ capital have we? you are right. sudan has seen _ capital have we? you are right. sudan has seen multiple - capital have we? you are right. sudan has seen multiple civil. capital have we? you are right. i sudan has seen multiple civil wars and rebellions and violence but nothing on the scale in khartoum. we had fighterjets launching air strikes inside the capital in densely packed urban areas, tanks on the street, pick—up trucks mounted

with heavy machine guns, running gun battles, gunfire throughout the night, explosions so this is on a level not seen in the b four and a level not seen in the b four and a level of destruction is horrific. the amount of casualties, 400 dead so far confirmed, but many fear that the death toll will go up as and when access to the streets becomes more easily available. at the moment, a terrible situation. find more easily available. at the moment, a terrible situation. and it is so difficult _ moment, a terrible situation. and it is so difficult and _ moment, a terrible situation. and it is so difficult and perilous _ moment, a terrible situation. and it is so difficult and perilous for - is so difficult and perilous for people trying to get access to food, water, medical help for people who have been hurt or injured, it so difficult to move around the city. what are your people on the ground saying about how often people attempt venturing out and in terms

morocco to see the family as well and then straight on the second day of read i will run the marathon. some of my teachers and friends tell me if you think it's too much leverage. but never i can say i will leave it around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. the meeting was hosted at the us airbase with the aim of coordinating airbase with the aim of coordinating a light support for kyiv. let's speak to our correspondent in berlin

who has been monitoring the story. we were listening to those military leaders a short while ago on the programming that needs conference talking about unity and additional help but no specific mention of those f—i6s that president zelensky was hoping to get. ihla those f-16s that president zelensky was honing to get-— was hoping to get. no one i wonder whether he — was hoping to get. no one i wonder whether he will _ was hoping to get. no one i wonder whether he will be _ was hoping to get. no one i wonder whether he will be surprised - was hoping to get. no one i wonder. whether he will be surprised because the delivery of fighterjets and those f—i6s is something that splits ukraine's allies. the us has been very reluctant to go there. they are concerned about further escalating the conflict and they worry ukraine might use them although ukraine said it would not strike targets within russian territory. these meetings happen regularly in germany and they are designed with two purposes. the first is to coordinate the supply and delivery of weapons and other to ukraine. they are also about sending a message of reassurance to kyiv but

also a message of defiance to moscow. we've heard plenty of that in the press conference following talks today. the us defence secretary lloyd austin saying that ukraine was capable and courageous and that more than a year after that invasion it was still fighting and that its international allies would have their backs for as long as it takes. but no specifics. what was quite interesting about this particular set of talks which i should add focused on trying to make sure that ammunition supplies keep flowing into ukraine, is that they took place shortly after the leak of classified pentagon documents which gave away some details about the conflict in ukraine, very embarrassing for the americans and the defence secretary did address that saying he took the issue very seriously and had been speaking to his colleagues and other allies but that nothing he said would fracture

pick up on that rain in the north and we can see showers in northern england and that weather front reaching the southern uplands by lunchtime and looking quite wet there in northern ireland. also showers clustered in the south—west of the country so these areas will be pretty chilly. the south—west, northern ireland, the south of scotland. where the sun does pop out on saturday, may be 13 to 15 degrees. that chilly atmosphere will spread in from the north and east north—easterly so that change starts to happen on sunday. frequent showers and strong winds. increasingly falling as wintry across the hills. elsewhere it's a real mixed bag. the temperatures on sunday will struggle in the north. seminary degrees. 12 degrees in liverpool. a couple of degrees higher in the south. the winner will be stronger so we will start to feel that shell and on sunday into monday we will see stronger winds and colder air spreading into parts of

scotland. notice the wintry showers there across the hills spreading further southwards and the really chilly along that north sea coast. elsewhere i think a mixture of sunny spells and showers. the temperature is really disappointing on monday. six in aberdeen, eight in birmingham. double figures for cardiff and london. that chilly atmosphere spread right across the uk and into the continent and into scandinavia on tuesday. warmer weather will reach us but not until later next week. here is the outlook for this weekend. chilly, later next week. here is the outlook forthis weekend. chilly, mixed bag on the way, that chilly air will be with us until wednesday. from thursday should warm up. goodbye.
