hello. rishi sunak has hit back at borisjohnson in the ongoing row over the former prime minister's resignation honours list. he says mrjohnson asked him "to do something" he "wasn't prepared to do," and "overrule" the panel tasked with vetting his nominees for the house of lords. meanwhile, the investigation into whether mrjohnson misled parliament over lockdown parties at downing street is expected to conclude today. mps will meet to finish their inquiry and decide when their report should be published. with the latest, here's our political correspondent, helen catt. borisjohnson may boris johnson may be borisjohnson may be leaving the house of commons, but the row over who he has been stopped from sending to the lords is getting increasingly bitter. irate

mr sunak of not telling the truth, of blocking peerages by acting too slowly and dragging their feet over some of the cheques that need to be done to make sure these things go through. there is a battle to be believed going on here between mr sunak and mrjohnson. i have been chatting to tory mps this morning and as one backbencher put it, he thought it was far more likely that tory mps would side with the boss, side with mr sunak when it came to accounts of who said what in a private meeting. but there is something bigger going on as well here, clive. most of westminster had been moving on from some of the psychodrama that dominated the conservative party last year that brought down prime minister and essentially ground the party to a halt. it seems to me that boris johnson is more than happy to play his part in bringing that psychodrama back, and that has got to make rishi sunak at least a bit nervous. w' . , to make rishi sunak at least a bit nervous. w ., , ., nervous. nick eardley at westminster. _

scotland's first minister, humza yousaf, is facing calls to suspend his predecessor, nicola sturgeon, from the snp, after she was arrested yesterday by police investigating the party's finances. ms sturgeon was questioned and released without charge pending further inquiries. she says she's innocent of any wrongdoing. here's our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon. humza yousaf, first minister and leader of the snp for a little over two months. resisting pressure to suspend his predecessor nicola sturgeon from the party.- suspend his predecessor nicola sturgeon from the party. being in government. _ sturgeon from the party. being in government, you _ sturgeon from the party. being in government, you are _ sturgeon from the party. being in government, you are always - sturgeon from the party. being in | government, you are always going sturgeon from the party. being in . government, you are always going to be under pressure. that is part and parcel of thejob. be under pressure. that is part and parcel of the job. the way i operate as leader is to make sure i have consistent values as a leader. i will treat nicola sturgeon no differently than i have treated colin beattie or others. she has been released without charge, and i think it's important that the presumption of innocence is upheld.

"i am certain i have committed no offence", she said, describing the situation as a shocked and deeply distressing, and

insisting" i am innocent of any wrongdoing". the police are looking into what happened to more than £600,000 of donations. as part of that investigation, nicola sturgeon's home was searched by officers, as was party headquarters. ms sturgeon is the third key snp figure to be arrested and released without charge. humza yousaf has been trying to get on the front foot policy wise and regained political momentum. some would say that is hard to do while these allegations are in play. lorna gordon, bbc news, glasgow. an 11—year—old girl from a british family has been shot dead while playing in her garden in france. it's reported a neighbour opened fire, also seriously injuring the girl's father. the shooting happened near the town of quimper in brittany on saturday evening. here's joe inwood. it was a dispute over land

that turned to tragedy. solaine thornton and her sister were playing on swings when it seems their elderly dutch neighbour opened fire with a shotgun. her sister ran for help. by the time she returned, solaine was dead and her parents wounded. herfather adrian is said to be in a critical condition. the suspect has been described as a recluse, but that doesn't lessen the shock in this sleepy village. translation: what is surprising is that someone has died. i don't understand what could explain such a tragedy. the thornton family lived in saint—herbot, north of quimper in brittany. authorities say they were aware of animosity between the neighbours. translation: residents have told us there were quite bitter exchanges a couple of times, and the suspect had taken out his weapon. if we were made aware of this and we were able to speak to the police, we would have seized the weapon and maybe we wouldn't be here today. the suspected shooter locked himself in his house, but eventually surrendered to police. he was arrested, along with his wife.

the british foreign and commonwealth office have said they are offering support to the family. the local mayor, who knew them well from the village fete, said "it is incomprehensible to have shot a child". joe inwood, bbc news. at least 10 people have died and 25 others are in hospital after a wedding bus crash in australia. the passengers were returning from a winery on sunday night in hunter valley when their coach overturned. police have charged the 58—year—old driver with 10 counts of dangerous driving, resulting in death. the tour operator of a dive boat in egypt says three british tourists missing after a fire on board in the red sea are now presumed dead. scuba travel says the tourists' families have been contacted by the foreign office. 26 other people, including 12 britons, were rescued from the vessel. a woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder after the deaths of two children in stoke—on—trent.

to the children. she has since been further arrested on suspicion of murder. they say there is no wider threat to the public. but speaking to people around here, they are clearly shaken by this incident. i spoke to a young woman who lives a few doors away who told me she was still in shock about what had happened. but police are calling on the people around here to come forward with information. they specifically want any cctv or dashcam footage around the time that these incidents took place, but this is clearly an incident which has shaken a lot of people.- is clearly an incident which has shaken a lot of people. navte' johal near shaken a lot of people. navte' johal stoke. — two men have appeared in court in northern ireland, charged in relation to the disappearance of a 21—year—old woman. chloe mitchell was last seen in ballymena earlier this month. yesterday, police said they had found suspected human remains. a 26—year—old man has been charged with murder, while a 34—year—old is accused of assisting an offender. our ireland correspondent,

born into a wealthy middle—class milanese family, he began his career as a nightclub crooner while studying for a law degree. he made a fortune in construction and built a powerful media empire. although few knew where he got the money to finance it, he bought ac milan, then bankrupt, turning it into a top european club. then staged a takeover of italian politics, forming a new movement, forza italia. berlusconi promised lower taxes, fewer controls on business, and used his tv stations to ram home his message. in 1994, he won the general election, forming the most right—wing administration in over 30 years. but after an unpopular austerity budget, his coalition collapsed after only seven months. berlusconi spent years defending himself against

charges of corruption. he was sometimes found guilty in lower courts, but used italy's tortuous legal system to ensure he never went to jail. io sono innocente. sentenced to prison for tax fraud in 2013, he did community service with dementia patients instead. he was in and out of power, bouncing back to become italy's longest serving prime minister since the second world war. his eccentric behaviour and bizarre jokes appalled many, but they appealed to his core supporters. in 2009, a man smashed a model of milan cathedral into the prime minister's face, but none of it stopped his love of partying and the allegations about his sex life. berlusconi and a 17—year—old model both deny that he paid her for sex. the scandal generated three separate trials. the last resulting in an acquittal earlier this year. but the perception of

sleaze was damaging. last year, his final political comeback, his partyjoining giorgia meloni's right—wing coalition, despite describing her as bossy and arrogant and expressing his admiration for vladimir putin. silvio berlusconi was undoubtedly charismatic, three times italians chose him as their prime minister, but he was always a divisive figure, and forfar too long his career was dogged by allegations of corruption. silvio berlusconi, who's died at the age of 86. ukraine claims to have liberated a fourth village in the south—east of the country, saying they're the first settlements won back from russia since kyiv�*s recent counter—offensive began. officials say "the national flag is once again waving" over storozhevoy

sources are saying that these villages are not actually in russian territory, more any grey zone that was only partly conquered by the russians. the fighting at the moment seems to be focused on the regions of zaporizhzhia and donetsk in the east of the country. that is where the ukrainians are focusing the bulk of their energy. on the russian side, they are saying that this counteroffensive so far has been unsuccessful, their defences have not been breached, but that is something that the ukrainians deny. mayenijones something that the ukrainians deny. mayeni jones live from kyiv. the schools inspectorate, ofsted, has announced several changes to it's operations in england, in response to criticism after the suicide of a headteacher. the changes include an overhaul of the complaints system, and revisiting some schools judged "inadequate" more quickly. but the watchdog still plans to use single—word judgements in assessing a school's performance. ruth perry, who was 53, took her own life earlier this year when her primary school

in reading was downgraded from "outstanding" to "inadequate". here's our education editor, branwen jeffreys. the inspection at caversham primary, graded inadequate over keeping children safe. the suicide of the head teacher ruth perry while waiting for that report set off the debate leading to today's changes. ofsted says, as a result, it will re—inspect schools within three months where similar concerns are raised, overhaul complaints about inspections, tell headteachers to talk to colleagues in confidence about likely results. but ofsted says it can't move away from one—word judgments. government uses judgements to decide where to allocate help, where to make interventions like turning a school into an academy. we provide inspection reports which give a lot of information, a lot of very positive information

if a school has great strengths, as well as descriptions and explanations of concerns. julia waters, ruth perry's sister, has met ministers and officials. she says this is a start, with much more needed, telling me it's wrong that schools are summed up with one overalljudgment. i believe if the single—word judgment is not removed, that all of the doubtless hard work and efforts to improve the inspection system will be seen to be wasted. it was the thing that preyed on ruth's mind for those 5a days, that one word, the fact that it was one word that was summing up 32 years of dedication to the education profession. that one word, inadequate, diminished everything else.

i'm furious. are you furious? in sheffield, parents have been campaigning, their secondary schooljudged inadequate. they were told it had to become an academy. it's a bit of a heart—sink moment because inadequate, i mean, that's essentially a failing school. one of the other campaigners said parents were stunned. it's not... the one—word judgment doesn't just label the school. it labels the whole school community. so there was a lot of upset, i think, and confusion and some anger, but also mainly, people just not knowing what this was going to mean. this has just really cemented for me that the ofsted report doesn't really reflect what a school is and everything that a school is about. ofsted reports are there for parents, but they have other consequences. the debate about those is far from over. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. the manchester city squad

denied any wrongdoing. since their 2008 takeover by investors from abu dhabi, success domestically almost instantly followed, yet europe's biggest club prize, the champions league, had eluded them — until now. after winning 17 major trophies in the last 15 years, manchester city know a thing or two about throwing a parade, but this evening's may well be the biggest one yet. nesta mcgregor, bbc news. our sports correspondent, andy swiss, is in manchesterfor us now. and you are in the blue bit of the city, to be clear.— city, to be clear. that is right, clive. i city, to be clear. that is right, clive- i am — city, to be clear. that is right, clive. i am here _ city, to be clear. that is right, clive. i am here at— city, to be clear. that is right, clive. i am here at the - city, to be clear. that is right, clive. i am here at the end - city, to be clear. that is right, i clive. i am here at the end point city, to be clear. that is right, - clive. i am here at the end point of the victory parade —— parade. i mean, you can see they are still building the stage where the manchester city players will be presented to the crowd. along with that treble of trophies. we are
