as president zelensky tells european leaders — there's an urgent need for ukraine tojoin nate and the eu. police in the south west of england say a a 12—year—old girl and a 17—year—old boy who died after being pulled from the sea off bournemouth beach were not hit by any vessels on the water. hello, i'm matthew amroliwala, welcome to verified live, three hours of breaking stories, and checking out the truth behind them. we start here in the uk — with some breaking news — the deadline has now passed for the government to hand over former prime minister, borisjohnson�*s unredacted whatsapp messages to an inquiry related to the coronavirus pandemic. the inquiry has demanded the messages, along with diaries and notebooks, be handed over by thursday at 4pm local time. the cabinet office has argued some of the material is not relevant. mrjohnson appears to have added to pressure on ministers

by stating he'd already given the cabinet office all relevant material. here's our political correspondent ben wright our political correspondent leila nathoo is in westminster. whether all the documentation as for has been handed over yet. do we know yet? an hour after that deadline we still haven't heard from the government or the inquiry itself as to whether any of the documents ask for have been handed over. so, we are still in a bit of a waiting game to understand whether the deadline was met or not. just to recap, for viewers about this. the covert inquiry is the big inquiry been doing and lots of work behind the scenes. it hasn't held public hearings yet but is has been after

official records from the government as part of its work and it does ask for borisjohnson what's up messages and diaries during the course of the pandemic during the course of 2020 and 2022. in order to be able to assess the governments handling of the endemic. the cabinet office has resisted the amp demand saying it can't have access to everything because it might obtain things that are not materially relevant to the inquiries work. the inquiry said it should be up to them to decide what is relevant and has given the government the deadline of today to comply. there is a threat of legal action if the inquiry the government does not comply. because there can be a prosecution against the government for complaints of the inquiry request because they have statutory fortune. we are waiting to hear the governments next move and we heard earlier from hear the governments next move and we heard earlierfrom the prime minister rishi sunak before the deadline had come speaking about

this in moldova. well, i think it's really important that we learn the lessons of covid so that we can be better prepared in the future, and we're doing that in a spirit of rigour but also transparency and candour. we've cooperated, the government's cooperated thoroughly with the inquiry today, handing over tens of thousands of documents, and we will continue to comply, of course, with the law and cooperate with the inquiry. we're confident in our position, but are carefully considering next steps. would you be willing to take this subject to court? as i've said, we've been long cooperating with the inquiry. important that we learn the lessons of covid so that we're well prepared in the future. government's considering very carefully next steps, but it's confident in its position. a careful choice of words from the prime minister there. in terms of his critics they say it's about openness and intake injury and about the chair of the inquiry making the

decision for herself to stop what happens next? what is the likely sequence of events here? figs happens next? what is the likely sequence of events here? as you say, rishi sunak — sequence of events here? as you say, rishi sunak not _ sequence of events here? as you say, rishi sunak not given _ sequence of events here? as you say, rishi sunak not given much _ sequence of events here? as you say, rishi sunak not given much away - sequence of events here? as you say, | rishi sunak not given much away when he was asked about that earlier so it's not clear what position the government will take on this. as i said, there is a threat of a legal challenge on behalf of the inquiry because the governments failure to comply would trigger the inquiry which has a power to begin a criminal prosecution. the government could challenge the inquiries on decision—making so there is a possibility this issue escalates or is resolved. there's all to play for but there has this big standoff between the government and the public inquiry into the handling of the third pandemic. some of the message that the inquiries asking for relates to rishi sunak as to when he was chancellor and ministers who still in cabinet, so there is

some interest in the government current government and the content of the messages. there is this standoff, as i say, between the inquiry and the government but there's also been a standoff between there's also been a standoff between the government and the cabinet office and borisjohnson, a dispute going on there with borisjohnson saying he has handed everything over to the government and it's up to the governments of the quote disclose it to the inquiry. so, borisjohnson keen not to be seen as any obstacle in this himself but it's unclear how this will resolve or whether it with a escalate from here. we are waiting to hear an update from either the inquiry or the cabinet office themselves.— inquiry or the cabinet office themselves. ., ., �* ., , themselves. you mentioned boris johnson and _ themselves. you mentioned boris johnson and we're _ themselves. you mentioned boris johnson and we're seeing - themselves. you mentioned boris johnson and we're seeing pictures themselves. you mentioned boris i johnson and we're seeing pictures of hemp and he said he was happy for the redacted messages to be handed over. so several strengths of this. in terms of the inquiry itself and importance all of it, does it impact at all on a likely start dates? because we are not that far away are

we? , , ., , , we? the inquirer is set to begin its first ublic we? the inquirer is set to begin its first public hearing _ we? the inquirer is set to begin its first public hearing soon _ we? the inquirer is set to begin its first public hearing soon but - we? the inquirer is set to begin its first public hearing soon but it is i first public hearing soon but it is interesting this has gone before these interest hearings are held. at this point, the inquirer is still gathering material in order to question people and be able to come to eventual conclusions but there's a long way to run for this inquiry. there'll are the hearings taking place and it's not likely to conclude for a number of years. they would examine the holy breath of the governments response, their response to the pandemic. i think, if you think about this from the governments point of view, at the moment you have the government effectively taken on the public inquiry into the handling of the pandemic which is supposed to be there learned lessons and write the definitive account on what went on within government at that time. that critical time in how decision—making took place. so, i think it puts the

government in an awkward position here want to be seen to be obstructing the work of the covid inquiry in some way. i think the government would have to consider carefully its next move but we are still waiting to learn whether the government did comply with this request to hand over all the redacted materials or whether there is some other work around they haven't come around yet. the situation _ haven't come around yet. the situation is _ haven't come around yet. the situation is clearly _ haven't come around yet. the situation is clearly fluid and when there is more clarity will come back to you at westminster. thank you for taking us through that. the bbc has questioned the controversial social media influencer andrew tate at his home in the romanian capital bucharest. tate is under house arrest and being investigated by romanian prosecutors for accusations including rape, human trafficking and exploiting women, which he denies. the bbc challenged him on whether his views about women — broadcast to his millions of online followers — harmed young people, as many teachers and police officers claim. the interview, which had no set conditions, was tate's first since being released into house arrest from police custody last month.

alongside that they are absorbing some of the language and executes he is using. schools have taken a view that they don't want to focus too much on hemp as an individual but their approach is to try to teach about respect for respect for the language and relationships. to give some sense about what is normally accessible in society and build resilience in children so they can look at online content and videos on different platforms and distance themselves enough to make a judgment about whether those behaviours are something they should adopt. schools are fighting an uphill batlle against what teenagers can see online and on social media. this is just one part of it.— just one part of it. branwen jeffre s just one part of it. branwen jeffreys there _ just one part of it. branwen jeffreys there in _ just one part of it. branwen jeffreys there in the - just one part of it. branwen - jeffreys there in the newsroom, thanks very much. more of that in a few and just had to the bbc website with a piece written by lucy williamson and more on that bus and

it's an interview she has done. let's turn to breaking news, we're giving you the latest on that deadline regarding the hiding over of redacted whatsapp messages from boris jensen regarding of redacted whatsapp messages from borisjensen regarding the covid inquiry. news commenting that the cabinet office is seeking a judicial review in order to release those whatsapp messages and diaries and notebooks to stop it i said in a letter to be co—viewed inquiry. we have been wishing for the last hour orso have been wishing for the last hour or so since the deadline passed know if there's going to be some challenge or whether they had handed over all the documentation or not. that news just coming us to us that the cabinet office as i had a judicial review request. the interview from premise or bright rishi sunak when he was asked about

submitting the documents to the inquiry, he said the government was considering the next steps but was confident in their position. so not being completely clear one way or another but that detail coming into us at the cabinet office is seeking a judicial review of the order to review release the messages and diaries. that rumbles on and head the court. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. some to some other stories making news in the uk... a coroner has been told, two teenagers who died after an electric bike crash in cardiff last week suffered head injuries. the deaths of kyrees sullivan, and his friend harvey evans, led to a riot, with cars set alight and police attacked. the local coroner says an inquest is required , which will happen after the ongoing police investigation is finished. a new alert system will warn the public when high temperatures could damage their health this summer in england.

it'll be run by the uk health security agency and the met office, aiming to reduce illness and deaths among the most vulnerable. the heat health alert system will operate year—round, but the core alerting season will run from june to september. and a rare plant, normally found only in the swamps of south west florida, and in cuba, is beginning to flower in the uk for the first time. this is the florida ghost orchid, there are less than 2000 in existence. you're live with bbc news the news that the cabinet office is seeking a judicial review of the order to release borisjohnson's whatsapp messages barriers and notebooks and in a letter to the covid inquiry. let's head back to

westminster with leila nathoo was been following the stories and in the last few minutes. this is a development we were waiting for in of knowledge when we or another as to what would happen? we of knowledge when we or another as to what would happen?— to what would happen? we were talkini to what would happen? we were talking earlier _ to what would happen? we were talking earlier about _ to what would happen? we were talking earlier about how - to what would happen? we were talking earlier about how this i talking earlier about how this situation will resolve and whether it would come to a amicable and or escalate the sub it appears that the government has chosen to take on the covid inquiry by seeking to begin what is called a judicial review. that is essentially a legal process of challenge and a decision taken by the inquiry. that was a decision to ask for these documents are unredacted. so, the cabinet office are bringing their own legal challenge to the covid inquiry which the government has set up its out. so, the government is finding itself in their position of being at loggerheads with the optional inquiry looking into of the government handled the pandemic. i think this is significant because

the government is saying they are doing it with regret but they are saying they doing it because of a matter of principle because they think that the covid inquiry demanding to have access to all communications basicallyjeopardises communications basically jeopardises the point communications basicallyjeopardises the point of principle that they should only have access to things that concern government decision—making are things that were relevant to the handling of the covid pandemic. they say they're doing this would regret but taking the next step to challenge the inquiry decision to ask for all of its material.— inquiry decision to ask for all of its material. . �* , ., ., its material. that's a government nosition its material. that's a government position in _ its material. that's a government position in the _ its material. that's a government position in the flip _ its material. that's a government position in the flip side _ its material. that's a government position in the flip side is - its material. that's a government position in the flip side is there i position in the flip side is there are many in the opposite camp who say that all the information should be handed over and it's up to the chair of the inquiry to decide what is relevant and what is not. that is what will be looked at in this judicial review. what's a likely timeline on that sort of review? we haven't timeline on that sort of review? - haven't heard anything yet from the inquiry in terms of their response to the step. i imagine what would happen is this going to court and

the application for a judicial review will be heard at the high courts and then a judge will decide whether it's a bright and proper step. there's clearly a long way to go on this particular point but it's worth remembering it's all in the context of the covid require not even beginning. brute context of the covid require not even beginning.— context of the covid require not even beginning. context of the covid require not even beiiinnin. . ., ., . ,, even beginning. we have to leave you there- thank — even beginning. we have to leave you there. thank you. _ hello there. today is the first day of meteorological summer and for some parts of the country at least, it looks and feels like summer. this is west wales earlier on today, and it's again the western side of the uk that's seeing the best of the sunshine, the highest temperatures, typically into the low 20s again. further east, it's more of a struggle with that cloud that's feeding in from off the north sea. where the cloud remains, 1a degrees is going to be a typical temperature here. even late afternoon, we've got a few patches of cloud through scotland and the midlands, it's mainly eastern england that keeps the cloud through the rest of the day. and that cloud will push its way back inland across england

and wales over night. quite thin cloud, mind you, it's going to be dry. should be dry and clear for northern ireland and scotland, quite chilly in eastern scotland. temperatures down to two or three degrees. it's across england and wales that we start quite cloudy but the air is going to be drier tomorrow, the cloud is thinner, so it's more likely to break up more readily. and by the time we get into the afternoon, as you can see, pretty sunny just about everywhere. just a few patches of cloud running onto some of those north sea coasts. and in the south—east, particularly kent and essex, it's still going to be quite breezy out there. the wind is still coming in off the north sea. so right on the coast temperatures will be a bit lower. but elsewhere temperatures widely 19 to 21 celsius and it looks like it is going to be sunny for most places as well. the sun is going to be strong, mind you. high uv levels. all the way from the channel islands up to the north isles of scotland. dry day in europe, the rain is still here across the south and the weather pattern isn't really changing as we head into the weekend. more thunderstorms through the mediterranean, more dry weather across much

of northern europe, as high pressure continues to dominate over the uk. still quite breezy through the english channel and the south—east of england, perhaps, but a lot of sunshine around on saturday. until you get up towards northernmost parts of scotland including the northern isles, this time, where we will see cloud. temperatures will be a little bit lower here. otherwise in the sunshine, creeping up to 21 or 22 degrees quite widely. and with that high pressure still in charge, as we head into sunday, again, sunshine for most places. there is cloud just toppling in across northern scotland through the north sea, perhaps hanging on to those north sea coasts, keeping it cooler. away from here, sunny skies will continue. temperatures up to 22 or even 23 celsius.
