the verified team take a closer look at the forgotten corner of conflict. a graphic designer becomes one of wales's most commercially successful artists after some of his digital works are sold for almost £600,000. we'll hearfrom him. and an open top bus tour through the streets of luton as the club make it into the premier league. 0ur correspondent is there. phillip schofield, the former presenter of the popular tv programme this morning who quit on friday after admitting that he had lied to his employers, friends and family about an affair with a younger male colleague, has been speaking out against people who've described the culture at the programme "toxic". let's take a look at some of the statement that

philip schofield made on his instagram earlier today. he said, "it's the same handful of people with a grudge against me or the show who seem to have the loudest voice. this morning is the best show to work on, with the best people. in all the years i worked there there was no toxicity. it is a family of wonderful, talented, kind, hard—working people." this is how the top of the show started this morning. we all know we happen to be in the news at the moment, and of course we appreciate that, butjust from both of us and the whole team here, the crew, the guys downstairs, we love making this show for all of you. yeah, we really do, and that's exactly what what we're going to do, we're going to continue to do that. so let's go on with our first news story. gyles? we are very happy to be here, can i say that as well? - of course you can. this is a happy place to work. i enjoy coming in here and have done since i began coming _ here all those years ago. thank you, gyles. this is good to be here. you're happy too? i'm very happy to be here. we're happy people in a happy place

with some interesting stories. - earlier i spoke to alice enders from the media insight organisation enders analysis. she gave me her thoughts on phillip schofield's statement and also the knock—on impact on itv and its revenue. it's very hard, obviously, to sort of parse or celebrate people who have left the show but i think it is very hard for us to judge from the outside whether those criticisms are correct or not. it is interesting that phillip schofield has come out fighting for the show. i think that is quite positive given the fact that as we all know the show is much bigger than any presenter and itv has declared it is sticking with the show, it is going to go on with the show, and that is where we are with the show itself. but as i say knives have come out for not only phillip schofield,

but for the show, the head director of tv, etc. there has been a lot of discussion over the weekend about the story back and forth. you speak about the weekend and we have had three or four days of a tsunami of coverage and a lot of it notjust around phillip schofield, but coming back to those serious questions for itv as a company who knew and when? as a company of who knew what and when? exactly, and i think here we all agree that workplace situations such as the one that has been described that was taking place between phillip schofield and a colleague, that those are really not acceptable in any workplace, but at the same time itv did look into it, question phillip schofield,

questioned phillip schofield, he came out and he said, well, i lied to my bosses and because i lied, i basically told a lot of people, and because i lied, i basically lied to a lot of people, but i am going to do the honourable thing and just quit and of course his agent dropped him and so on. i think obviously it is a tsunami from a reputational point of view for him in particular, but at the heart of it is an inappropriate workplace situation and, as we all know, itv is not the only place where there are inappropriate workplace situations that arise and they are always detrimental to the morale of the team and so on. it is just never a good look and the fact that it probably, he should not have lied to his employer and that is all there is to it. i think it is quite narrowly speaking a workplace situation that should not have arisen under any circumstance. really briefly, does it have knock—on effect

on things like advertising, given that we don't know how long the intensity of this actually lasts? well, we already heard that the sponsor, arnold clark, is not going be renewing the contract this october. they have been in place since 2021 and obviously the timing of the announcement is designed to distance arnold clark from the show. but what advertisers want is to reach audiences and it is too early to tell whether the revamp of this morning will deliver the same audiences as previously. i think certainly for itv it is going to be a wait and see situation. the show averages about a million viewers, and they are very attractive viewers for advertisers and so i think in terms of the audience decay or defection it is really too early to tell whether there is going to be some serious, lasting damage to the show itself, but as i say, as long

as the audiences keep turning up, and there may be new audiences for the show as a result of this obviously being a week off school, it is very hard to put your finger on whether it is audiences that will defect and if audiences defect, then the advertisers will become fragile in terms of their desire to buy slots on the show. seven men have been remanded in custody in northern ireland after appearing in court accused of the attempted murder of a senior police officer. detective chief inspectorjohn caldwell was shot multiple times outside a sports complex in 0magh in february. he had been coaching a youth football match and was with his young son at the time of the attack. now on verified live let's turn to sudan. last week's ceasefire brought a lull in the fighting in the capital khartoum.

but that was not the case in the western region of darfur where entire villages have been burnt to the ground and communications with the outside world have been mostly cut off. the region has a long history of inter—communal violence, and it seems to have plunged into chaos once again. people there are in dire need of help and experts warn the conflict risks spreading to neighbouring countries. 0ur correspondent barbara plett—usher has looked into this under—reported area of the conflict with the bbc verify team. you've heard about the battle for khartoum. i'm going to tell you about the battle for darfur. it's seen some of the bloodiest fighting, most of it around the cities of al—geneina and nyala. let's start by looking at al—geneina, because that's been the hotspot. this is before the war, and this is in late april, after a first flare—up of violence. then there was a second wave of violence in mid—may. markets were destroyed, health services looted, hundreds of people killed.

aid workers who had to flee say it's been pretty much a scorched—earth approach to civilian infrastructure. nyala is darfur�*s largest city and part of the main market there has also been destroyed. a resident has confirmed that this is a video of the nyala market. it's a huge loss because it supplies the region and some neighbouring countries. and we managed to get this message from a localjournalist. translation: the rsf attacked the city with dozens of _ pick—up trucks mounted with guns. ngo offices and shops were looted. most of the pharmacies were looted. all of the residential areas in nyala have been completely sealed

off with barricades and digging ditches so the militias can't enter the residential districts. so who is doing all this burning and looting and killing? residents in the area say that in nyala, it's the rsf, the rapid support forces, which does have its roots in darfur. but take a look at these fighters on the rampage in al—geneina. you can see that they're not wearing uniforms. the rsf leader has called for calm. in al—geneina especially, the lines are blurred. there are different community militias, including fighters from arab tribes called the janjaweed, and that's the base from which the rsf was formed. 20 years ago in darfur, the janjaweed were mobilised to crush a rebellion by non—arab tribes. the current battles have reignited those communal tensions. a war of all against all, multiple groups fighting one another, could spread to other regions in sudan and beyond because of ethnic ties across borders. an intensifying conflict in darfur has the potential to inflame conflict in libya, in chad, in central african republic

and in south sudan, and even further across into the west african sahel. refugees from darfur have been streaming into neighbouring chad. they're fleeing not only a power struggle between two generals but the prospect of another civil war. that was barbara plett usher. the spanish prime minister pedro sanchez has called a snap election for the 23rd ofjuly. the surprise announcment comes after a poor performance by his socialist party in regional and local elections on sunday. national elections had already been due in spain later this year. here's mr sanchez as he made announced the news. translation: although yesterday's voting was for local _ and regional posts, the impact of the vote conveys a message that goes further. and for this reason, as prime minister and also as leader of the socialist party,

i take personal responsibility and i believe it's necessary to submit our democratic mandate to the electorate. the announcement made in spain a little earlier in the day. let's turn to a story here that has been getting a little attention. mars bars have been given a new look with recyclable paper wrappers instead of plastic. it is part of a pilot, trialling more environmentally friendly materials for mars food's chocolate. the new packaging will be rolled out at 500 tesco stores in the uk from today. mars�*s current plastic wrappings are not recyclable, as is the case for many items including crisp packets and many chocolate bar wrappers. some of the biggest names in comedy have joined a protest today against sewage being pumped into windermere in the lake district. among them paul whitehouse, lee mack and steve coogan who's been speaking to our reporter alison freeman. it is an absolutely glorious

day here in windemere, and there are plenty of people out enjoying the bank holiday sunshine, but they are here for a serious reason as well, and that is because the campaign group, which says it is seriously concerned about the damage being done to the water quality in the lake due to the repeated release of raw sewage. there is a number of high—profile figures that arejoining the campaign today and that includes actor and comedian steve coogan. you live locally, steve. tell me a little bit about why it is so important that you got involved with this. although i have got a very strong local connection here, it is a wider issue nationally. windermere is the biggest lake in england, it is a unesco national heritage site and if you cannot keep windemere clean, what hope has the rest of the country got?

we are here to tell the chief offender, which is united utilities to stp( putting sewage in windermere, use the resources to remove the damage which has already been done over the last few decades. united utilities have said this is also about climate change and the run—off from farms and chemicals that have been used. what do you make of that? that is so much waffle, they are the chief polluters, by their own admission. their priority seems to be their shareholders. this year they paid 300 million in dividends to shareholders. i am sure they could spare a proportion of that to build the infrastructure needed to clean up the lake. united utilities say they are going to invest 400 million over the next couple of years to improve the water works in the area. do you think that goes far enough? no, because they are going to pass that onto the bill payer and people have paying bills for a service that they as a water authority should have provided. they will be paying twice. they should dig into their own pockets to do it. steve, thanks very much for your time. united utilities say they will be pumping £400 million into sorting out the local water works over the next couple of years.

a graphic designer has become one of wales�*s most commercially successful artists overnight after some of his digital works were sold for almost £500,000. ashley crossland designed over 7000 individual works featuring sketches of humanoid deerwhich were bought as non fungible tokens — or nft�*s. earlier i spoke to ashley and his writer and collaborator jameel sandham, who told me how they felt once the sale had gone through. it is amazing, it was an open eye, 24—hour sales process, but it has been well over a year in the making, but when it finally ended, jimmy and me were over the moon with a success. ., ., ~ success. tell me about the work because i _ success. tell me about the work because i was — success. tell me about the work because i was looking _ success. tell me about the work because i was looking at - success. tell me about the work because i was looking at the - because i was looking at the pictures earlier in the day. it is

just nine years after they were in the very bottom non—leagues of football, so a real story of inspiration for luton. one of the club's legends, mick harford, who's been a player, manager and director spoke to fans about what the moment meant. saturday was our biggest game in history. this is the biggest day in the biggest earner i have seen for our great football club. these guys are premier league players now. cheering. but we have always had premier league fans. cheering. we are without doubt the best team in the country with our ups and downs. and you have been there, you have been constant, you have been there all the time and myself, the board, the players, they really appreciated. so this is a big part,

you have played a massive part to where we are today, so thank you very much. 0ur correspondent nick schiller has spent the day in luton and gave me a sense of the mood there. luton town is really a club that is at the heart of the community, so thousands of them as you saw from those pictures turned out. i have got a little story. the bus was a little bit delayed because they couldn't find three of the players, so they delayed the bus route starting until they turned up. then it stopped on the route because one of the players fancied some takeaway chicken which one of the fans went and got for him so that he could eat on the bus as he was going to saint george's square, where there were thousands of people. i am outside the town hall which isjust thousands of people. i am outside the town hall which is just out from saint george's square. they are clearing up the mess that was left after those thousands of people were there. there has been a civic reception for the players in the
