2:01 pm
in the past few minutes, another conservative mp has announced that he is resigning, triggering a by—election. his name is nigel adams, a big supporter of former prime minister borisjohnson, who is stepping down with immediate effect. this comes after borisjohnson himself resigned as an mp, blaming a witchhunt against him. in an explosive statement, he likened the inquiry to a kangaroo court, and criticised the current direction of the uk government. it's a political headache for prime minister rishi sunak, who now faces a by—election in mrjohnson�*s constituency, at a time when his conservative party is languishing in the polls. the resignation came after borisjohnson received an advance copy of a report into whether intentionally misled parliament over covid lockdown parties at downing street. charlotte wright reports. he is rarely farfrom the headlines,
2:02 pm
and last night he made more. borisjohnson bowing out with a blistering statement. criticising everyone from the privileges committee who were due to decide whether he lied to parliament over lockdown breaching apartments in downing street, to sue gray, who wrote the first report on those breaches, and the direction of his own party's government. borisjohnson has shown himself to be a coward once more. he has not held his hands up and taken responsibility as he should do. the privileges committee are a well—respected committee that are made up of a majority of tory mps, and he is trying to trash them, saying he has done nothing wrong. he is a man who can never hold his hands up to what he has done, and i think he's an absolute disgrace. today, one government minister refused to be drawn into a row. the determination is purely for the former prime minister, and that is where that rests.
2:03 pm
our focus is on delivering for the priorities of the british people, that is the priority of this government. borisjohnson has been at the forefront of british politics for two decades — previously as mayor of london... and then the front man of the brexit campaign. in the 2019 general election, he won the tories their biggest majority for 30 years. it was a series of scandals, including partygate, that led to his downfall last year. while conservative mps are divided, very few of his backers are willing to appear on camera today. it's a disaster, we will lose huge numbers of mps, and they have to get their head out of the sand. sunak is a disaster for us. if the conservatives have any chance of winning the next election, we have to get boris back in a different capacity, and rally around him, not do him down. his final flourish was a list of honours and peerages handed out to his allies, including priti patel and jacob rees—mogg.
2:04 pm
but notably not nadine dorries, who had been hoping for a peerage but quit as mid bedfordshire mp hours before the list was published without her name on it. now the conservatives face the prospect of two tricky by—elections before the summer break. there should be a general election. the chaos and division in the conservative party, the fact they are so out of touch on the cost of living, on the nhs, means you have to put this government out. you have to put the country out of its misery with these conservatives. number ten are yet to respond last night's allegations, and with a degree of ambiguity in mrjohnson�*s statement about what is next, many are wondering how long the former prime minister will remain on the political sidelines. live now to our uk political correspondent rob watson. there is quite a lot to discuss. we had borisjohnson, ben nadine dorries, and now nigel adams, but is
2:05 pm
this unsurprising, considering how close of an ally he has been for borisjohnson? i close of an ally he has been for boris johnson?_ close of an ally he has been for boris johnson? i guess if you are auoin to boris johnson? i guess if you are going to predict _ boris johnson? i guess if you are going to predict anybody - boris johnson? i guess if you are going to predict anybody else - boris johnson? i guess if you are going to predict anybody else to | going to predict anybody else to resign in solidarity, and we presume it is in solidarity with boris johnson, i think nigel adams would have been near the top of the list. he is often described as a sort of unofficial chief of staff for boris johnson, and he is an absolute loyalist. it does raise questions about the conservative party, we have seen the explosive departure of borisjohnson and now nigel adams, and the big question is, are we now about to see some sort of civil war within the conservative party between the johnson within the conservative party between thejohnson loyalist, those who think that borisjohnson is hard done by, and those who think, his time has passed, we need to stick by prime minister rishi sunak, or else all hell breaks loose.— all hell breaks loose. well, whichever— all hell breaks loose. well, whichever way _ all hell breaks loose. well, whichever way you - all hell breaks loose. well, whichever way you look - all hell breaks loose. well, whichever way you look at l
2:06 pm
all hell breaks loose. well, i whichever way you look at it, all hell breaks loose. well, - whichever way you look at it, this does mean that there is now going to be a by—election in three formally tory seats. be a by-election in three formally tory seate— tory seats. that's right. it's important _ tory seats. that's right. it's important to _ tory seats. that's right. it's important to consider - tory seats. that's right. it's important to consider the l tory seats. that's right. it's - important to consider the background against which these by—elections will be held, these mini elections. first of all, it comes amidst this potential prospect of a civil war in the governing conservative party, and we don't knowjust how bad it is going to get, but we know that emotions are running pretty high, certainly on the pro—johnson camp. secondly, of course, all these machinations inside the conservative party are going to presumably get large chunks of the british electorate thinking hang on a minute, what on earth is going on? and the third thing is the state of the economy, and the state of the country where you have a fall in living standards, high levels of inflation. so if you are rishi sunak it is hard to think of anything worse than having to have three by—elections because inevitably they
2:07 pm
always turn out as being, if you like, a mini popularity test, a mini referendum on the government. find referendum on the government. and that is something rishi sunak could do without at this point. but what is the calculation here for boris johnson? it does not seem to be ruling himself out of further political moves, but why do this in this way? it certainly doesn't benefit his party but does it benefit his party but does it benefit him? it’s benefit his party but does it benefit him?— benefit his party but does it benefit him? it's a very good question- — benefit him? it's a very good question- i — benefit him? it's a very good question. i think— benefit him? it's a very good question. i think he - benefit him? it's a very good question. i think he has - benefit him? it's a very good i question. i think he has decided that this committee of mps looking into whether he misled parliament has obviously come up with an unpleasant verdict and he decided that attack is the best form of defence, decided to quit and say he wasn't given a fair trial and it is all part of some brexit conspiracy. will it work? i don't think there is any doubt that he has taken a leaf out of the donald trump playbook. this is all about it is never my fault, play the victim, it is a witchhunt. will it work? well, there will be a large chunk of the
2:08 pm
electorate to carry on thinking, good old boris, he has been stitched up. but clearly some of the governing conservative party think that way but there is also an awful lot of people who take the view inside the conservative party and beyond that borisjohnson �*s downfall is entirely his own doing, both in terms of his personal behaviour and his policies. he has positioned himself for a comeback, there is no doubt about that. can he make one? well, the opinion polling for now suggests that he has become that most unfortunate thing in some ways, and that is an unpopular populace. ways, and that is an unpopular populace-— ways, and that is an unpopular “oulace. ., , ., , populace. that is some way to put it. and looking _ populace. that is some way to put it. and looking at _ populace. that is some way to put it. and looking at going _ populace. that is some way to put it. and looking at going forward i it. and looking at going forward generally, what does this mean for rishi sunak? what kind of calculation is is he going to have to make? i calculation is is he going to have to make? , , , to make? i guess the first thing he has to decide _ to make? i guess the first thing he has to decide is _ to make? i guess the first thing he has to decide is well, _ to make? i guess the first thing he has to decide is well, boris - to make? i guess the first thing he | has to decide is well, boris johnson has to decide is well, borisjohnson has to decide is well, borisjohnson has declared war on him. does he want to declare war back? i mean, that would seem not to be his style.
2:09 pm
his whole pitch of the british electorate these last few months has been look, i am the quiet after the storm of borisjohnson and liz truss, and i think that his instinct was that he would not want to take on borisjohnson personally and his supporters. that's why i go back to the question at the start of our chat, which is, is a civil war preventable within the governing conservative party? people feel these things very strongly, the borisjohnson supporters generally feel he is a kind of maligned hero. but those who don't like him feel he is an absolute catastrophe who was bringing the conservative party and british politics to new lows, and it is hard to find a compromise, if you like, between those two positions. but i suspect that if he has his way, rishi sunak would... it looks like we have _ way, rishi sunak would... it looks like we have lost _ way, rishi sunak would... it looks like we have lost rob _ way, rishi sunak would... it looks like we have lost rob watson - way, rishi sunak would... it looks l like we have lost rob watson there. our apologies. like we have lost rob watson there. ourapologies. he like we have lost rob watson there. our apologies. he wasjust like we have lost rob watson there. our apologies. he was just coming to the end of his thoughts. rob watson, our uk political correspondent there
2:10 pm
with all those developments as yet another mp has resigned in support of borisjohnson. a french prosecutor says a man suspected of stabbing four young children in annecy is under formal investigation for attempted murder and will appear in court later today. the four children include a three—year—old british girl. two adults were also injured in a park in annecy on thursday. the authorities say the victims are no longer in a life—threatening condition. let's hearfrom the regional prosecutor line bonnet—mathis. translation: the prosecution service of annecy opened a judicial case - for attempted murder. the prosecution service put the assailant in provisional custody, and this afternoon he was going to be taken to court and he will appear before the judge.
2:11 pm
the four children are still in hospital. and out of the four children, we have two french nationals and the two others, one is a young boy who is in intensive care because of two stabbings and abdominal injuries, and they had to operate on him. that was the statement from the regional prosecutor earlier. let's go live to france and get the latest from our correspondent hugh schofield. we heard from the prosecutor they're confirming, among many things that had already been reported. yes. confirming, among many things that had already been reported. yes, and what often happens _ had already been reported. yes, and what often happens in _ had already been reported. yes, and what often happens in these - had already been reported. yes, and what often happens in these cases . had already been reported. yes, and what often happens in these cases is that this is all coming out through
2:12 pm
off the record briefings to journalists, and it requires then a formal press conference debated on record with established fact. you know, various details about the suspect, and also about the children. the children, obviously it is good news that they are all out of danger. the british girl, we are told, can probably leave hospital in the coming days. and about the suspect himself. it is confirming again what we knew about his background. some detail also about how he is behaving in custody. clearly, he is not cooperating, he is remaining silent and not talking to his questioners. and in some moments, curled up in the corner of his cell, not willingly coming to the hearing with the judge and having to be bundled by officers into the car, and so on. he is clearly a man in a troubled psychological state.-

clearly a man in a troubled psychological state. and the other extra detail _ psychological state. and the other extra detail that _ psychological state. and the other extra detail that we _ psychological state. and the other extra detail that we have - psychological state. and the other extra detail that we have got - psychological state. and the other extra detail that we have got is i extra detail that we have got is that he will be placed under formal investigation for attempted murder. that doesn't suggest that, despite his lack of cooperation, they seem to have ruled that he is fit to withstand this investigation. yes. there will be _ withstand this investigation. yes. there will be more _ withstand this investigation. jazz there will be more psychological tests to come, but at this point, the psychological tests and questioning he has come under have not convinced officials, and the prosecutors office, that he is not able to continue in the classic judicial procedure. he has been placed in a classic way under formal investigation for attempted murder which is utterly predictable. the only possibility is that they said he was not able to withstand this and should go to hospital straightaway, but that is not the case. we did have confirmation again that what is not being given priority in all of this is any
2:14 pm
aspect of terrorism. that is clearly not what is in the forefront of the minds of the prosecutors and the people questioning the man. thank ou ve people questioning the man. thank you very much _ people questioning the man. thank you very much for _ people questioning the man. thank you very much for giving _ people questioning the man. thank you very much for giving us - people questioning the man. thank you very much for giving us that. you very much for giving us that additional detail from paris. you very much for giving us that additional detailfrom paris. again, good to hear that those children are getting better. the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, is in kyiv in a gesture of support as ukraine commences its counter offensive against russia. he's been meeting president zelensky, who has said that counter—offensive and defensive operations were taking place in ukraine, but told reporters that he would not say what stage they were at. canada, a nato member, has one of the world's largest ukrainian diasporas. it's supplied military and financial assistance to ukraine since the last year's invasion. translation: the counter offensive and defensive actions are taking place in ukraine. i and defensive actions are taking place in ukraine.— and defensive actions are taking place in ukraine. i will not speak at which phase _ place in ukraine. i will not speak at which phase they _ place in ukraine. i will not speak at which phase they are, - place in ukraine. i will not speak at which phase they are, but - place in ukraine. i will not speak at which phase they are, but i i place in ukraine. i will not speak| at which phase they are, but i am

2:16 pm
for european final nights. manchester city are looking to complete a famous treble later, against inter milan — having vanquished all before them in the competition. let's catch up with 0lly foster, who's there for us. the city fans are confident ahead of this one and it's a match of huge significance for them — given they're going for a first ever champions league title. so much at stake, yes. good afternoon to you. you would expect there would be nerves with just under six hours to go before manchester city kick off against inter milan, the chance to cap an incredible season, as you say. but no sign of nerves from the players. the body language has looked absolutely supreme, as well it might after what they have done in recent weeks, winning another premier league title, their third in a row. and then that fa cup final defeat of manchester united, and the fans here as well, so confident. they exude confidence. not one of them that we have spoken to think that they won't beat inter milan by at least two or
2:17 pm
three goals. should we be worried about anything? girling harland, who has transformed them really, 52 goals in all competitions is going through a lean spell and he hasn't scored in four, but he has been used sparingly. he will be leading the line once again because what we have seen from manchester city in recent weeks, if harland doesn't score, it will be bernado silva as we saw in that incredible second leg against real madrid in that semifinal of the champions league. a statement wind, and if they do actually go and beat inter milan tonight, they will be talking about how they beat cameco real madrid on the way also. the way that they just swept aside the greatest team in the history of european football was something to behold, and many believe that they can do the same to inter milan tonight. let's hear now from a man

2:19 pm
the final. you would have thought that manchester city. but they did get past ac milan, their fierce city rivals, and that was no mean feat. i will have taken an awful lot out of them. but also, it will have filled them. but also, it will have filled them with confidence. they have a manager who is a specialist in cup finals, as a manager, he has won 12 of 13 that he has been involved in. but they do know, despite some of their international stars, martinez, their international stars, martinez, the argentine forward who won the world cup before christmas, they know that they are going to be really up against it, against this city team that should get their name on the trophy for the first time. 0llie foster in istanbul, thank you. australia have set india a target of 11114 in the world test championship final. they�*ve just declared on 270—8 in their second innings— on day four of the one—off test. an imposing total for india to try and get anywhere near. australia face england for the start

2:21 pm
after a huge and long search. the children forced to fend for themselves for more than five weeks. translation: together the military forces and the indigenous _ communities that helped with the search efforts found the children after a0 days. they were on their own. they are an example of survival that will go down in history. today, those children are the children of peace and the children of colombia. hundreds of soldiers had been involved in the desperate hunt for the children, aged 13, nine, four and one. message plays. a recorded message was played from the air, instructing them, if they heard it, to stay still and wait for help. they had been missing since the start of may when the plane they were in crashed. the bodies of the children's mother, the pilot and the co—pilot were found.
2:22 pm
but there was hope the children were still alive after items left behind by them, including a drinking bottle and half—eaten fruit were found. the children belong to the huitoto indigenous group. it's thought their knowledge of fruits and jungle survival skills helped keep them safe. their family can scarcely believe this moment has come. translation: we are happy - because until now we couldn't sleep, couldn't be happy, couldn't talk. for us, the situation was like being in the dark, living for the sake of living, because the hope of finding them kept us alive. when we found the children, we feltjoy. we don't know what to do, but we are grateful to god. the children have been flown to the capital, bogota, for a full medical assessment. they are weak, they are tired, but their rescuers are calling this a magical day. simon jones, bbc news. doctors treating the pope say he's recovering well from surgery but they've advised him not

2:26 pm
there are positives and negatives to take away from the weather story at the moment, but there is lots of positive after weeks of low, grey cloud across eastern england at times, look at lowestoft in suffolk, not a cloud in the sky. and there is warmth building as well. temperatures may peak at 30 celsius this afternoon, and that won't suit all. that is why the heat health warning has been issued. particularly with the increasing humidity. there's also some cloud around and parts of south—west england and wales are desperate for rain and have not seen for about a month. but it is going to spoil your weekend, i'm afraid. 0utbreaks month. but it is going to spoil your weekend, i'm afraid. outbreaks of rain across cornwall, into devon and eventually into parts of south—west wales as well. some of these showers could turn heavy and sundry as we go through the latter stages of the day. if you're planning a barbecue, there is a risk of a few sharp thundery downpours,
2:27 pm
favoured spots for that at the moment across parts of south west midlands, stretching up through wales and up into north west england as well. they'll be very hit and miss, but it's certainly worth bearing in mind. it'll be a pretty warm evening leading into a warm, humid night for many of us. those showers will continue to drift their way northwards up into the west coast of scotland and northern ireland. 0vernight lows generally around 9 to 1a degrees. we might see 16 first thing in the morning, 61 fahrenheit, in the london area. now, as we move into sunday, there's going to be a lot of dry weather for most of us. there'll be outbreaks of rain just easing away from the far north of scotland, and a few scattered thundery downpours could continue as we go through the day. one or two of those first thing in the morning into the london area. once again, those temperatures perhaps into the high 20s, 30 degrees not out of the question once again. so, if you do know some elderly, vulnerable people, it's certainly worth keeping an eye on them. and as we go into next week, there's going to be little in the way of change in the forecast. risk of some early thunderstorms at the beginning of the week, but a lot of dry settled weather,
