welcome back to verified live. jacob rees—mogg and priti patel will receive a knighthood and a damewood respectively. tory tees valley mayor and sean bailey have been given peerages. those are just some of the names on the list. let's go back to the newsroom. with more on this let's join nicky schiller in the newsroom. i wanted to look at the peerages, and there are seven names on the list. you mentioned the first one, sean bailey, and he is the conservative mayor or candidate in 2021. he lost out to sadiq khan, but still a

member of a london assembly. mr benjamin gascoyne is the former political secretary and deputy chief of staff. he is on the list, as well as the tees valley mayor. he will appear in the house of lords, as well as roster on cancel. he is the political director of the conservative party and research department. charlotte open is also in the peerages list. she is a former special adviser to the prime minister. all ministers or prime ministers have special advisers, so a peerage going to charlotte open on this list. we also have a peerage for someone that works with the former prime minister borisjohnson. this was mr singh ranger. also, a

special adviser to the government on the digital scribe jody. special adviser to the government on the digital scribejody. the special adviser to the government on the digital scribe jody. the final one the digital scribejody. the final one on the digital scribe jody. the final one on the list is the former downing street chief of staff, daniel rosenfield. those are the seven peerages that we've been mentioning that are out and if anyone wants to see the full list, they are available on the bbc and they are available on the bbc and the government website.- they are available on the bbc and the government website. thanks once aaain. let's go back to westminster and leila nathoo. just cast this in on some of the politics. the leila nathoo. just cast this in on some of the politics.— politics are it's basically hard to find anyone who is not connected to borisjohnson. it is pretty clear

that he has rewarded his allies with both peerages — ellijay elevations with the house of lords and honours — which might leave a bitter taste. some people had been criticised for that evolvement and partygate. for example, martin reynolds, who sent an e—mail asking downing street staff to a party. he is one on the lists too, so various people who had resigned. a former communication director, jack doyle. people who had resigned from government now being rewarded with honours. i think this will certainly stick out for some people. labourare will certainly stick out for some people. labour are trying to make quite a lot of this. this is a bit of a gift for them. instead of tackling the crisis, the tories are spending time "toiling out rewards."

angela rayner also trying to wreck drag sunak into this. rishi sunak and downing street are trying to distance themselves, saying they have nothing to do with the recommendations for the house of lords and they did not overrule any decision made by the independent house of lords appointment committee. there is a lot of politics, but this is a decision by borisjohnson to politics, but this is a decision by boris johnson to first politics, but this is a decision by borisjohnson to first go ahead with resignation owners list, but that is a choice he made to go ahead with it. mps that have stayed loyal to him after he was forced to resign as prime minister. certainly, labour being one confrontational about this. . ., , . this. leila, thanks very much. talkin: this. leila, thanks very much. talking about _ this. leila, thanks very much. talking about the _ this. leila, thanks very much. talking about the labour - this. leila, thanks very much. | talking about the labour party.

let's talk to chris bryant, chair of the commons select committee. monitors mps' behaviour. in terms of headline thoughts, basic reaction? well, for a start, i don't think there should be such a thing as a resignation owners list. it was only at admitted in 1895, and it's a very discredited system. why on earth, especially if you've been ousted from downing street for misdemeanors, why on earth should you be allowed to dole outjobs for life in the house of lords? i think there are several dozen people getting honours here. it's protection particularly... boris johnson is still under investigation for lying to parliament. i can't

underline how extraordinary that is in our history. and then to dole out gifts like this, baubles like this — the partygate party and the people who lied to the press on behalf of the prime minister — the people who organise parties in downing street when everybody else wasn't even able to visit their loved ones dying in hospital. ijust think to visit their loved ones dying in hospital. i just think voters will 90, hospital. i just think voters will go, "what planet are you on?" —year—old two or three issues into one answer. 0ne —year—old two or three issues into one answer. one is the individuals that course johnson one answer. one is the individuals that coursejohnson has chosen —— you rolled it two or three issues. the fact you view this is discredited, this is a system that prime ministers for decades... h0. prime ministers for decades... no, wronu. prime ministers for decades... no, wrong- gordon _ prime ministers for decades... no, wrong. gordon round... _ prime ministers for decades... no, wrong. gordon round... gordon - prime ministers for decades... no, . wrong. gordon round... gordon brown did have a list — wrong. gordon round... gordon brown did have a list on _ wrong. gordon round... gordon brown did have a list on his _ wrong. gordon round... gordon brown did have a list on his departure. - wrong. gordon round... gordon brown did have a list on his departure. i- did have a list on his departure. i know tony blair didn't, but he was

british politics. i think if you ask lots of people about the behaviour of somebody... i think at least two are under investigation. i think this is quite a troublesome list in itself and its very lengthy, and of course, and at the same time, we've got this strange phenomenon of of nadine dorries resigning, to say she wasn't ever going to resign. and then will quints, who i rather like and respect, announcing he's not standing in the next election. so i think a lot of voters will conclude that this government has run out of steam. we finished on tuesday at 2:20 p:m., ithink. we had steam. we finished on tuesday at

2:20 p:m., i think. we had only went through 11:30 a:m.. and...— through 11:30 a:m.. and... should rishi sunak. .. _ through 11:30 a:m.. and... should rishi sunak. .. crosstalk - rishi sunak. .. crosstalk should rishi sunak... crosstalk should rishi sunak have intervened? 0f should rishi sunak have intervened? of course he should have. in the end, it's his list. it's got boris johnson's fingerprints, but it's all the people rishi sunak worked with as well, and he signed it off. i just think it's absolutely... i am genuinely gobsmacked.- just think it's absolutely... i am genuinely gobsmacked. given what you are sa in: genuinely gobsmacked. given what you are saying about _ genuinely gobsmacked. given what you are saying about the _ genuinely gobsmacked. given what you are saying about the whole _ genuinely gobsmacked. given what you are saying about the whole notion - are saying about the whole notion about having this list, the people on it, there is a possibility within 12 or 15 months, the labour party is the governing party. a, will there be significant house of lords reforms, and do you think there's even a that this gets scrapped altogether or is that your view and not necessarily the consensus? i5 mi; not necessarily the consensus? is my

professionalism —— a government. i think this shows a government that is completely out of touch with veterinary voters' concerns. —— ordinary voters. none of this meets any of that crosstalk is one of the thing that feels like... i is one of the thing that feels like... ._ , is one of the thing that feels like... , ., , , like... i may be wrong in this, but it feels as — like... i may be wrong in this, but it feels as if _ like... i may be wrong in this, but it feels as if the _ like... i may be wrong in this, but it feels as if the tories _ like... i may be wrong in this, but it feels as if the tories know - it feels as if the tories know they're going to lose the next election and seal everything out of the pantry before they go. i’m election and seal everything out of the pantry before they go. i'm going to leave it there _ the pantry before they go. i'm going to leave it there simply _ the pantry before they go. i'm going to leave it there simply because - the pantry before they go. i'm going to leave it there simply because we | to leave it there simply because we need to move on. you've made several points there. chris bryant, thanks forjoining us and giving us that view. thanks for your time. more reaction on that story as it comes into us. let's turn to a separate story. lgbt veterans of the uk armed forces are urging the government to release the findings of an independent review into the treatment of veterans forced out of the military because they are gay. until the year 2000, it was illegal to be gay

in the british military, and more than 5,000 veterans thought to be affected by that law. last night, the chairman of the review, lord etherton, and the uk's veterans minister johnny mercer gave a speech about the review, but released no new details. bbc news has been told some veterans left the event visibly upset. the government says it will consider the recommendations "in due course". 0ur lgbt and identity correspondent lauren moss reports. —— caroline paige is an raf veteran and the first transgender officer to serve openly in the uk armed forces. she's now the chief executive of the lgbt+ military charity fighting with pride. welcome to the bbc news. in terms of the publication of that review, what have you got to say to government ministers? ., ., have you got to say to government ministers? ., ~ , ., �* , ., ministers? thank you. it's a review that has been _ ministers? thank you. it's a review that has been put _ ministers? thank you. it's a review that has been put together - ministers? thank you. it's a review that has been put together at - ministers? thank you. it's a review|

that has been put together at some pace, and it holds over 1100 statements from veterans and serving personnel who have had to reach back to some really dark times and provide that evidence. it's taken some incredible courage. they had an expectation when the review was completed and the recommendations within that were handed to government, that they would have site on that and they would see a step forward. that hasn't happened yet. the statement of in due course doesn't really mean anything at all, and there's a huge worry that that means we'll get around to it one day. these veterans have put so much into service in the first place. they've been treated so incredibly shamefully. they deserve a responsible government to say, "we've got the report, we're looking at the recommendations, here's the report." there's no reason they can't public the report. you said

towards the _ can't public the report. you said towards the beginning - can't public the report. you said towards the beginning of - can't public the report. you said towards the beginning of the . can't public the report. you said - towards the beginning of the answer that so many of your colleagues had really dark times in that period, right up to the 1990s up to 2000. just give us and our viewers a sense of what you're talking about in terms of the culture that existed, that actually was the darkness that you're referring to.— you're referring to. yeah, it was a dark culture. _ you're referring to. yeah, it was a dark culture. there _ you're referring to. yeah, it was a dark culture. there was _ you're referring to. yeah, it was a dark culture. there was a - you're referring to. yeah, it was a dark culture. there was a gay - you're referring to. yeah, it was a dark culture. there was a gay ban j dark culture. there was a gay ban van —— and priests who were to track down anyone who is gay and interrogate outed veterans. those individuals would have medical inspections, medals ripped from their chest until they weren't there, thrown from the military without any kind of support, they lost their housing, they theirjobs, their service records had statements

which made it really difficult if not impossible to get further employment. they lost the support of friends. everything came crashing down and they had been left alone for 25 years plus to deal with that. it's about time that we as a nation stood up and respected their service. b, stood up and respected their service. �* ., ., service. a twin thought - tell me a little more — service. a twin thought - tell me a little more about _ service. a twin thought - tell me a little more about your _ service. a twin thought - tell me a little more about your experience, | little more about your experience, and also only what 21l — 36 hours ago we had eidinger —— heard the head of metropolitan police apologised for decades the way that police treated lgbtq communities. would you like to see the same from the military? the milita is see the same from the military? tue: military is quite see the same from the military? tte: military is quite keen see the same from the military? "tt2 military is quite keen to see the same from the military? tt2 military is quite keen to support lgbt+ military is quite keen to support lg bt+ veterans, military is quite keen to support lgbt+ veterans, and we know that

senior commanders are quite happy to engage with veterans. we would like to see an apology from the prime minister because the prime minister, it was the government, our veterans are loyal to their service and their comrades and their ships and squadrons and regiments. it was the government that, throughout time, enforce this, so it needs to be an apology from the prime minister rather than the service chiefs. my own experience was quite mild compared to these individuals because, yes, it was difficult and i had to hide my life away from my team for years until i have the courage to stand up. i transitioned just before the ban was lifted. but i got to serve 16 years openly. it was difficult, but i got to, they didn't. their lives, their careers — everything they hope for was snatched away purely because somebody said you're gay, we don't want you. somebody said you're gay, we don't want ou. ., ,.,

"increasingly concerned" for a 21—year—old missing woman. chloe mitchell, who is described as a "high—risk missing person",

was last seen in ballymena on friday night into the early hours of saturday. police have been conducing searches along a river in the county antrim town, but say the size of the area and the terrain is making it difficult. a 26—year—old man has been arrested. superintendent gillian kearney made this appeal. firstly, i'm appealing directly to chloe to make contact with the police, family or friends so that we know you're safe and well. i'm also asking the public to contact us if they have seen chloe. i know she was last seen by family on friday the 2nd ofjune, and then she was captured in the late hours of friday the 2nd ofjune into the early hours of saturday the 3rd in ballymena town centre on cctv. she was walking in the direction of james street. we're becoming increasingly concerned about chloe's safety. it is out of character for her not to be in contact with herfamily. they are being supported by specialist officers during this worrying time. we have launched a criminal investigation into her disappearance and we are examining a number of scenes.

a 26—year—old man has been arrested in lurgan yesterday and is currently helping police with their inquiries. please look at the photograph of chloe. she was last seen wearing a green and black northface style jacket, a white t—shirt, leggings and nike trainers. i would like to thank the public and the search and rescue teams for all their help so far in trying to find chloe. that was the latest from the police. it's a stomach—churning sight we've seen far too many times over the past year — raw sewage being discharged police say they are becoming recently into waters around england. it's an issue many campaigners have taken into their own hands. we joined citizen scientists taking samples around two harbours on england's south coast. their results are now in, and have revealed a "cocktail of drugs" in the water. 0ur environment correspondent, jonah fisher, reports. the natural harbours of langstone and chichester on england's south coast. their sheltered waters an important breeding ground for birds

and a popular haul—out spot for relaxing seals. but this is also where raw sewage from portsmouth is regularly dumped, and locals say they think the water quality has been getting worse. we'd had a lot more cases of people saying they'd gone into the water and they'd had stomach upsets and ear issues. we just thought something's not quite right here. we're out on langstone harbour with bianca and rob. they were so worried about the state of the water that they formed a group of residents to take samples and then send them off to be tested at a university laboratory. in the last few years, we've seen more and more initiatives all right, i'll it, and then you'll wish me a bottle in the second. all right, i'll do it and then you'll pass me a bottle.

we found metformin, which is a diabetic drug. we have also found trimethoprim, which is an antibiotic, some nicotine, some cocaine, tramadol and naproxen — and tramadol and naproxen are actually painkillers, as well. so these are all things that are coming out of people, so the way that they're getting into the water must be through the people, through the water system, through the sewage. at the mouth of langstone harbour, professor alex ford shows us how the geography of the natural harbours keeps the discharged sewage and chemicals close to shore. it ejects from there and it comes right the way down here, - and then the tide turns and it washes straight back up. - so these organisms that - are permanently there are just living in a cocktail— of different chemical wastes. how worried should we be? very. yeah, we've got to take this seriously because there - are chemicals harming our wildlife now which we banned 30 - years ago, and they're i still having effects now.

it's already spilt raw sewage for more than 800 hours into the harbour. the pressure is now on the water companies to show they can clean up their act. jonah fisher, bbc news, in langstone harbour. concerned. just in time to return to the developing story about the honours list from the former prime minister. let's go line to —— live to bill cash. welcome here to the programme. in terms of that honour, your thoughts? well, i'm very deeply privileged and extremely honoured. it's a very high

hello there. it's been the hottest day of the year so far in northwest wales. we also had temperatures across southern england. it's set to get even hotter up to 30. we get 30 degrees or more every june. many of us look forward to these hot spells, some of us really hate the heat. 0ne these hot spells, some of us really hate the heat. one or two people with underlying health conditions can cause a few problems, and for that reason, a heat health alert has been issued. 0ver that reason, a heat health alert has been issued. over the next few days is the hot weather. we're going to see a thunderstorm combination of temperature and humidity. how much moisture there is in the atmosphere. 0vernight tonight, it is a largely dry picture with a little bit of

that low cloud coming back in with the scotland, england as well. it may be quite cool, but otherwise, temperatures 13—14 for cardiff and london. tomorrow is hot and sunny for the majority of the uk and for many, it will stay dry. you can see the winds bashing together across wales and southwest england. that willjust push up the amount of moisture there is in the atmosphere crosses part of the world, and it's that that's really important for making some big thundery downpours. 0ne making some big thundery downpours. one or two could be torrential, bringing flash flooding, but for many, it's a dry day, hot and sunny and with temperatures peaking up to 13 degrees. it will stay very warm overnight as well as bedtime. temperatures still up into the 20s for some. temperatures still up into the 20s forsome. sunday, temperatures still up into the 20s for some. sunday, the greatest supply of moisture where the winds are blasting together is more across parts of scotland, scotland, wales and england —— northern ireland and scotland. there's not so many

showers and thunderstorms in england. another hot day for the majority. monday, storms are attending to be biased towards the west, drierairworking in attending to be biased towards the west, drier air working in across eastern england. it means there will be fewer showers, even though we have some of the highest temperatures in eastern areas. beyond that, humidity will turn tend to drop and high pressure will move back in, so from tuesday onwards, we're looking at extended spells of dry and sunny weather.
