on those issues. in relation to your question, last summer, i was speeding, i regret that, i paid the fine and i took the points, but we are focused now on delivering for the british people and working for them. did the british people and working for them. , , ., the british people and working for them. , ,, ., the british people and working for them. , _, ., ,u the british people and working for them. , , ., , the british people and working for them. , ., ,., them. did you ask civil servants to ut one them. did you ask civil servants to put one on — them. did you ask civil servants to put one on one-on-one _ them. did you ask civil servants to put one on one-on-one speedingl put one on one—on—one speeding course? i put one on one-on-one speeding course? ., , ., course? i am focused on delivering for the british _ course? i am focused on delivering for the british people, _ course? i am focused on delivering for the british people, doing - course? i am focused on delivering for the british people, doing my i course? i am focused on delivering | for the british people, doing my job for the british people, doing myjob and all i will say is that in my view i am confident that nothing untoward has happened. what view i am confident that nothing untoward has happened. what would ou untoward has happened. what would you welcome — untoward has happened. what would you welcome in _ untoward has happened. what would you welcome in an _ untoward has happened. what would you welcome in an investigation - untoward has happened. what would you welcome in an investigation into| you welcome in an investigation into this? have you spoken to by minister, would you want one? i am focused on — minister, would you want one? i am focused on working _ minister, would you want one? i am focused on working as _ minister, would you want one? i —n focused on working as making a big announcement today and i would appreciate the focus on an announcement that are standing up for victims and survivors and in relation to the speeding ticket and my fine and points, i am very confident nothing untoward happened. finally on this, and it is important because you have broken rules before, you had admitted to breaking

a zero code and have admitted to having a speeding fine and you have been accused of breaking the code for a second time, how good a look at it for a senior politician to be viewed as a constant rule breaker? i got a speeding ticket, i paid the fine, i took the points. in my view, nothing untoward has happened. live now to westminster, and our political correspondent, peter saull. we were waiting to hear what the home secretary had to say. bud we were waiting to hear what the home secretary had to say. and in amonust home secretary had to say. and in amongst all _ home secretary had to say. and in amongst all of _ home secretary had to say. and in amongst all of the _ home secretary had to say. and in amongst all of the talk _ home secretary had to say. and in amongst all of the talk about - home secretary had to say. and in amongst all of the talk about your| amongst all of the talk about your doing thejob for the amongst all of the talk about your doing the job for the british people, she reiterated twice that i speeded and got a ticket and paid the fine and took the points, nothing untoward happened. she was choosin: nothing untoward happened. she was choosing her— nothing untoward happened. she was choosing her words _ nothing untoward happened. she was choosing her words very _ nothing untoward happened. she was choosing her words very carefully - choosing her words very carefully indeed and she repeatedly refused to engage with the central allegation here that she arranged this or tried to get civil servants to arrange a private one—on—one speed awareness course that suggestions over the weekend that was one she wanted to do that because she was worried that she might get recognised and that

there wouldn't be enough room because she has to have protection around her. ultimately, she said, she did accept that she was going to have to pay the fine and take the points on her licence but it has raised these questions about whether or not she has broken the rule book for ministers and the ministerial code by putting the civil servants in a difficult position and this morning, we have learned from the prime minister's spokesperson that rishi sunak has now spoken to his ethics adviser about this. it's not clear whether an investigation will be launched. the line we are given is that the prime minister is still gathering information on this, but you certainly have not heard the end of the story and in a couple of hours' time the home secretary will have to appear in the house of commons where she will come under even closer scrutiny. it's the regular departmental questions she faces as home secretary but you would imagine there will be enough a lot of opposition mps trying to nail her down on actually happened here

and as i pointed out, she is someone who has a bit of a marked card in a way having broken the ministerial code and admitting breaking the ministerial code two ministerial code in the past by using private e—mailfor public code in the past by using private e—mail for public information and now she insisting that as regards these allegations, but she believes in nothing untoward has happened. let's talk about other elements of this because as you mentioned, it's up this because as you mentioned, it's up to the ethics adviser who will advise the prime minister as to whether this needs to be moved forward but there was also talk in some of the papers about some of her staff talking to journalists and reporting back to journalists who asked a question about whether or not there was a speeding fine issued and apparently, allegedly, these staff told certain newspapers that there was no speeding fine. it is that correct? i have been looking at that correct? i have been looking at that story recently. we that correct? i have been looking at that story recently.— that story recently. we don't know the exact details _

that story recently. we don't know the exact details of— that story recently. we don't know the exact details of what _ that story recently. we don't know| the exact details of what happened here but you cannot remove the politics from this and there are allies of suella braverman who have suggested this as an attempt by civil servants to smear the home secretary. she is a divisive figure, she has pulled through divisive measures to deal with the number of people coming to the uk on small boats across the english channel and as i say, she has done things in the past which some people might view her as not being best suited to hold such a high office but equally she is very well liked within the conservative party and she is an important figure to have run the table for rishi sunak because she represents the right of the party. last week she was giving an interview here in westminster at a grassroots conservative conference called the national conservativism conference where she was speaking about immigration and some people saw that as a potential pitch to be conservative leader, should they lose the next general election. maybe we're getting ahead of ourselves and that here but it may well be the case there are those who are trying to discredit the home secretary at the moment and that's

certainly what people close to her believe at the moment anyway. peter, sta there believe at the moment anyway. peter, stay there for — believe at the moment anyway. peter, stay there for a — believe at the moment anyway. peter, stay there for a second _ believe at the moment anyway. peter, stay there for a second or _ believe at the moment anyway. peter, stay there for a second or two. - believe at the moment anyway. peter, stay there for a second or two. i - stay there for a second or two. i want to run some pictures that have come into us on the bbc of the home secretary arriving at downing street. let's have a listen. share secretary arriving at downing street. let's have a listen. are you auoin to street. let's have a listen. are you going to resign? — street. let's have a listen. are you going to resign? did _ street. let's have a listen. are you going to resign? did you _ street. let's have a listen. are you going to resign? did you break- street. let's have a listen. are you i going to resign? did you break them in stereo _ going to resign? did you break them in stereo code? —— ministerial code? what _ in stereo code? —— ministerial code? what did _ in stereo code? —— ministerial code? what did she — in stereo code? —— ministerial code? what did she say? i couldn't hear her i'm going to stop the bout, she said, i am her i'm going to stop the bout, she said, iam being her i'm going to stop the bout, she said, i am being told. her i'm going to stop the bout, she said, iam being told. not her i'm going to stop the bout, she said, i am being told. not really relevant. the boat... said, i am being told. not really relevant. the boat. . ._ relevant. the boat... there are ministers _ relevant. the boat... there are ministers turning _ relevant. the boat... there are ministers turning up _ relevant. the boat... there are ministers turning up to - relevant. the boat... there are ministers turning up to number relevant. the boat... there are - ministers turning up to number ten today as well so perhaps this isn't her turning up for a one—to—one with rishi sunak about these allegations course, but at the daily briefing for westminster journalists, for westminsterjournalists, the prime minster spokesperson was

repeatedly asked whether rishi sunak had spoken to swell braverman after the g7 summit injapan that they wouldn't say whether the conversation had happened but you would imagine it would do between now and that appearance in the house of commons. she needs to get her story right. of commons. she needs to get her story right-— story right. maybe the boats were seedin: , story right. maybe the boats were speeding, peter. _ story right. maybe the boats were speeding, peter. yes. _ story right. maybe the boats were speeding, peter. yes. i— story right. maybe the boats were speeding, peter. yes. iwas- story right. maybe the boats were speeding, peter. yes. iwasjustl speeding, peter. yes. iwasjust wondering where the connection is but anyway, peter, thank you very much and he will be back if there is update on that story but let's take you out of another story. spanish football club real madrid has lodged a hate crime complaint with spanish prosecutors after the brazil international, viniciusjunior, was subjected to racist chants during real madrid's match at valencia. the brazilian president, luiz inacio lula da silva, has urged the sports authorities in spain and other european countries to act decisively to prevent the spread of fascism and racism in football grounds. pierre—antoine denis is in the newsroom with more.

it is without a doubt the biggest story coming out of football over the weekend. viniciusjunior is one of the most exciting talents in world football at the moment and once again a victim of racist abuse. it all started at the 73rd minute of the game between real madrid and valencia. viniciusjunior was seen valencia. vinicius junior was seen pointing valencia. viniciusjunior was seen pointing at the fan in the stands before engaging with him as well as his real madrid team—mates. he informed the referee of the incident which automatically triggers the racism protocol coordinated by uefa. it implies a public announcement from the speaker is saying that fans must stop immediately to chant racist abuse and it also holds the game until further notice which means the players can decide whether or not they want to start the game again. the game did start again and in the last minute of it, vinicius jr was sent off for a completely

different incident. this triggered carlo ancelotti in the press conference afterwards. the whole stadium was _ conference afterwards. the whole stadium was shouting _ conference afterwards. the whole stadium was shouting abuse - conference afterwards. the whole stadium was shouting abuse at i conference afterwards. the whole l stadium was shouting abuse at him when _ stadium was shouting abuse at him when he _ stadium was shouting abuse at him when he was shown the red card. he and i_ when he was shown the red card. he and i am _ when he was shown the red card. he and i am very— when he was shown the red card. he and i am very upset. i have never experienced _ and i am very upset. i have never experienced anything like it. not like that — experienced anything like it. not like that i— experienced anything like it. not like that. i never thought i would have _ like that. i never thought i would have to _ like that. i never thought i would have to consider taking a player off because _ have to consider taking a player off because he — have to consider taking a player off because he was being abused. he is young _ because he was being abused. he is young lad, — because he was being abused. he is young lad, vinicius, who lost blanc for in _ young lad, vinicius, who lost blanc for in those — young lad, vinicius, who lost blanc for in those conditions are so difficult _ for in those conditions are so difficult. �* ., ,., difficult. but in fearful bottled condemned — difficult. but in fearful bottled condemned the _ difficult. but in fearful bottled condemned the events - difficult. but in fearful bottled condemned the events but. difficult. but in fearful bottled l condemned the events but also condemned the events but also condemned carlo ancelotti's words that the whole stadium was shouting abuse at vinicius. this is not enough for the player himself who said on his social media that racism has won a league that once belonged to ronaldinho, ronaldo, messi is now belong to races. but viniciusjr to ronaldinho, ronaldo, messi is now belong to races. but vinicius jr is no stranger to racism and ten instances of racist abuse towards them have been recorded. and that's

since 2021. but in the league say they cannot prosecute or punish clubs for racist events but all they can say and do is forward the claim and the report to a regional pool to decide whether it is a hate crime. vinicius received messages of support across football, including kylian mbappe, rio ferdinand and others saying when will this stop? i want to speak now to a brazilian sports journalist based in spartan or barcelona. tell me a bit about how the story is playing out in the media in spain.— media in spain. thanks for having me. here media in spain. thanks for having me- here in _ media in spain. thanks for having me. here in spain _ media in spain. thanks for having me. here in spain it— media in spain. thanks for having me. here in spain it has- media in spain. thanks for having me. here in spain it has been - me. here in spain it has been the main subject in the press since yesterday. it has been a while and i was hearing the report before but it has been one year—and—a—half that vinicius has been suffering with

this kind of situations in the stadium, but now i think the situation is different because there are more people involved. the brazilian government has got involved and brazilian ministers are also publishing their support to him and here in spain, acting for the first time, we are starting to see the discussion finally getting into the discussion finally getting into the main subject of that which is racism and racial offence to apply thatis racism and racial offence to apply that is doing hisjob on racism and racial offence to apply that is doing his job on the field. before that, most people were discussing if vinicius style of play was provocative, his work ethic was provocative or was trying to complicate the matches but now finally i think we are hearing for the first time some people are part of the media saying the words racism, racialabuse, of the media saying the words racism, racial abuse, which i think

can be the first step towards a solution or a punishment from la liga and the federation in this case. it liga and the federation in this case. , , , ~ , liga and the federation in this case. , ,, , , liga and the federation in this case. , ,, , case. it seems shocking this is a first u- case. it seems shocking this is a first up considering _ case. it seems shocking this is a first up considering this - case. it seems shocking this is a first up considering this is - case. it seems shocking this is a first up considering this is going | first up considering this is going on so long. why is it taking so long for people to sit up and take notice of this? it’s for people to sit up and take notice of this? �* , . for people to sit up and take notice of this? 3 . , for people to sit up and take notice ofthis? v . , my for people to sit up and take notice ofthis? v . , , ., of this? it's a very tricky question and complicated _ of this? it's a very tricky question and complicated to _ of this? it's a very tricky question and complicated to find _ of this? it's a very tricky question and complicated to find an - of this? it's a very tricky question | and complicated to find an answer to it because usually when you get this kind of episode and this kind of racial situations in football matches, you get punished and the clubs get punished. in brazil where i have a background to talk about this, the brazilian confederation of football federations, they created they created a set of rules that if supporters of the club do something similar to what the valencia supporters did yesterday, the club will be punished. they will be severely punished but in spain, this

never happens. this is still in the first steps in the beginning of this process and i think now real madrid have entered with a complaint to the spanish prosecutors, this might speed up things a little bit. it might be the beginning of a change. thank you and good to talk to you. evidence has emerged that uk and us regulators were informed of an international, state—led drive to manipulate interest rates in the 2008 financial crisis — but covered it up. this morning the times newspaper and the bbc publish quotes from a previously secret interview with a barclays cash trader who gave evidence of moves by central banks and the uk government to artificially push down the benchmark interest rates libor and euribor. that evidence was with—held from parliament and from jurors in criminal trials of traders for manipulating interest rates. regulators say they've met their disclosure obligations.

0ur economics correspondent andy verity has led the investigation and hejoins me now. first of all andy remind us what libor and euribor are? those things that determine the interest rates you pay on your loans or mortgage. you have a central bank official rates and we report on them but as the cost to the banks of getting hold of cash and money markets that determines the interest rates you pay and libor and libor and back to the banks of getting hold of cash and money markets that determines the interest rates you pay and libor and euribor track that abbott the way in the last ten years have paid fines of $9 billion for manipulating libor and euribor and we've been told it's about traders. 37 traders were prosecuted for manipulating libor and euribor but the your escorts were deciding what they were doing was not a crime. meanwhile, while they were being tried, a whole other story was being kept quiet about how central banks and the uk government were actually pushing libor down in the financial

crisis. i have come across lots of evidence of this including an audio recording we discovered a while ago between the parties trader peter johnson who was ordered by a senior barclays executive to push his libor lower on instructions from above and we were not told about this when parliament inquired and the jurors were not told about it in criminal trials are when you listen to it you can guess why. the trials are when you listen to it you can guess why-— can guess why. the bottom line is ou are can guess why. the bottom line is you are going _ can guess why. the bottom line is you are going to _ can guess why. the bottom line is you are going to absolutely - can guess why. the bottom line is you are going to absolutely hate l you are going to absolutely hate this but — you are going to absolutely hate this but we have had some very serious — this but we have had some very serious pressure from the uk government and the bank of england about— government and the bank of england about pushing our libor lower. i am on your— about pushing our libor lower. i am on your side, — about pushing our libor lower. i am on your side, these guys don't see it, they— on your side, these guys don't see it, they are — on your side, these guys don't see it, they are bent out of shape, they are calling — it, they are bent out of shape, they are calling everybody to... it, they are bent out of shape, they are calling everybody to. . .- are calling everybody to... where told to begin _ are calling everybody to... where told to begin to _ are calling everybody to... where told to begin to be _ are calling everybody to... where told to begin to be a _ are calling everybody to. .. where told to begin to be a call- are calling everybody to... where told to begin to be a call from - are calling everybody to... where j told to begin to be a call from the ecb to— told to begin to be a call from the ecb to out— told to begin to be a call from the ecb to out the _ told to begin to be a call from the ecb to put the libor— told to begin to be a call from the ecb to put the libor lower - told to begin to be a call from the ecb to put the libor lower as - told to begin to be a call from thei ecb to put the libor lower as well.

you are alive with bbc news. 20 children have died in a major school in guyana.

it broke outjust before midnight at the school in mahdia — engulfing the dormitory and trapping students. firefighters struggled to control the flames. an emergency response has been set up in the capital georgetown to treat critically injured survivors. now to the general election in greece. the governing new democracy party has achieved a resounding victory, which the party's leader, prime minister kyriakos mitsotakis, has called "a political earthquake". he described his party's a1% share of the vote as a mandate to govern for four more years. but with almost all the votes counted, the centre—right party looks set to fall short of an absolute majority. 0ur europe correspondent nick beake, is following the elections from athens. the prime minister is in a strong position because it was always going to be difficult for him to secure an outright majority in this vote because of the changes to the electoral system that he inherited, but he has done much better than the pollsters here in greece had

predicted. they were talking about a six percentage point lead over a series of left opposition but as it turns out it was more than 20% so they really underestimated the level of support for him. in terms of what happens today, the post voting procedure kicks in so the official results will be taken to the presidential mansion, the greek president, she will then invite the prime minister to form an administration from his point of view and for the prime minister, he is not going to want to do that because he has seen the share of the vote atop 40% and what everybody expects here is that there will be another general election in greece, probably in one month and what will happen there is that a new system of voting will certainly come in and as part of this, if you top the polls as the leading party, you get these bonus codes sort the new prime minister will think he has a better chance to secure that outright

majority. tributes have been given to philip schofield who quit his programme after two decades on the talk show. fellow presenters hailed him as one of the best live tv broadcasters this country has ever had. this cross live to entertainment reporter to tell us more and give us an update as to what this story means, particularly for viewers around the world who may not understand who schofield is and why he matters to us. , ., ., , schofield is and why he matters to us. , ., , , us. philip schofield has presented this morning _ us. philip schofield has presented this morning for _ us. philip schofield has presented this morning for 21 _ us. philip schofield has presented this morning for 21 years, - us. philip schofield has presented this morning for 21 years, since i this morning for 21 years, since 2002 so he has been a stalwart of the programme for two decades and holly will bejoined the programme for two decades and holly will be joined in 2009 and together they are seen as really popular resenting pair in this country or they have been injured recently. they have great chemistry together and made the show a success and it's a pillar of the itv daytime schedule. in the last few weeks there has been reports of a rift

cloudy weather rolling into northern ireland in western scotland and then later in the night obituary for some of us and down to four or 5 degrees in parts. but the weather dominated by this egg —shaped area of high pressure that extending in from the atlantic and it's going to keep things largely dry. wins coming in and around the top of that area of high pressure, not a particularly warm wind direction but not feeling too bad when you get some sunshine there will be spells of sunshine but the best of that perhaps in england and wales and a bit more cloud for northern ireland and scotland and may be just squeezing the odd spot of drizzle in places. temperatures touched down on today's values from many of us but regardless of the temperatures, if you have sunshine overhead, uv levels will be moderate or high so do protect yourself if you are out for any length of time. into wednesday we will see a frontal system pushing southwards across northern ireland and then a weak affair and a northern ireland and then a weak affairand a bit northern ireland and then a weak affair and a bit of rain and certainly an area of cloud. to the south of the size bells ringing in

wales and slightly warmer day with highs of 20 or 21 degrees and always a bit cooler across the north west of scotland. next week our area of high pressure is expected to move eastwards and that will keep things largely dry. depending on the exact shape of this high, the exact position of this high, we may start to tap into some slightly warmer air from the south—east and that is open to question but there are signs that through the end of the week and into the weekend it could turn a little bit warmer for some of us, not a heatwave, but feeling pleasant in the sunshine.

today at one, the home secretary denies any wrongdoing following controversy over her handling of a speeding offence. any regrets, home secretary? suella braverman is alleged to have sought advice from civil servants about organising a private speed—awareness course, instead of attending a public session. i got a speeding ticket, i paid the fine, i took the points. in my view, nothing untoward has happened. thank you. we'll have the very latest live from westminster. also on the programme: sir keir starmer outlines his plans to refrom the nhs, with new targets cutting deaths from heart disease, strokes and suicide. we have a new team, called bbc verify, forensically checking data and information. today, just how is russia preparing for a ukrainian counteroffensive?
