to the bbc news at one. borisjohnson deliberately misled parliament when he was prime minister about whether lockdown rules were broken in number 10. that's the finding of the parliamentary committee made up of mps from different parties. it has produced a lengthy, damning report, which finds mrjohnson misled the house, the committee and tried to undermine the democratic process. the committee says, if borisjohnson was still an mp, it would recommend he be suspended from parliament for 90 days — much longer than had been expected. mrjohnson stood down as an mp after receiving advance details of the report, which this morning he called "deranged". straight to westminster and our political correspondent, nick eardley. a very long report and it is damning. a very long report and it is damning-— a very long report and it is damninu. , �* , ~ , , damning. isn't it “ust? westminster had been damning. isn't itjust? westminster had been expecting _ damning. isn't itjust? westminster had been expecting a _ damning. isn't itjust? westminster had been expecting a really - damning. isn't itjust? westminster had been expecting a really criticall had been expecting a really critical report, we knew it was critical enough for boris johnson
1:02 pm
report, we knew it was critical enough for borisjohnson to decide to stand down as an mp. but it is pretty clear now he jumped before he was pushed. the committee says even if borisjohnson had not thrown his toys out of the pram last week and criticised in the way he did, they would have suspended him for long enough to start the process that would have led to a by—election. even more furious about the way he reacted to the initial findings and that led to the suspension of 90 days the committee would have introduced ad mrjohnson still being an mp. it all raises big questions about his political future as our political correspondent helen catt reports. after almost a year of investigating as big ben struck nine, there came an explosive verdict. the former prime minister deliberately misled parliament when he made statements like this. mr parliament when he made statements like this. ~ ,,, ., ~ ., ,

1:07 pm
going on in downing street, it was just not believable he did not realise the rules had been broken when he told parliament and by extension the public that that has happened. a damning report, going to be extremely difficult reading for mrjohnson, and it raises the question of if there is any prospect of a political comeback. mrjohnson in the past has been the sort of political operator who could almost defy political gravity, he simply got away with things other politicians just wouldn't. but this might be just a step too far even for him. might be “ust a step too far even for him. ., ., might be “ust a step too far even for him. ., ,, i. a ., , ., for him. thank you, nick eardley, at westminster- _ glenda jackson, the star of stage and screen who went on to serve as a labour mp for more than 20 years, has died at the age of 87. in a long and hugely successful acting career, she won numerous awards, including two oscars and three emmys, before being elected as the mp for hampstead in 1992. after retiring from the commons,

1:12 pm
caroline hawley reports. you can see just how packed the boat was. barely room to move and not a life jacket in sight. we don't yet know who the victims are, but every one of them had a name, friends, family, and their own reason for making a deadlyjourney. the greek coastguard rescued more than 100 people after the boat's engine apparently failed. but they are facing heavy criticism for not intervening earlier. charities say they knew it was in distress for hours before the fishing vessel sank in one of the deepest parts of the mediterranean. the greek authorities say their initial offers of help were refused because those in charge of the boat wanted to head for italy. but it's unlikely this young survivor, or any others, had a choice. many of those brought to safety on land need medical treatment and are deeply traumatised. 0ne young man started to cry
1:13 pm
and said, "i need my "mother, i need my mother." this was a very difficult moment, to listen to a young man who needs his mother and to cry, "i need my mum. "i need my mother." this voice is inside my ears. it is bodies now being brought to shore. there is very slim hope of finding anyone else alive. and a big question hanging over the search effort — exactly how many people were on board. people are still in shock. they're trying to give some details now about their relatives, their friends, who were in the boat. they cannot find them. some survivors have spoken of the trawler carrying as many as 700 people when it set off from the libyan port of tobruk five days ago. 0ne told a hospital doctor that there had been 100 children in its hold. but most of those saved have been young men. a local health official said the disaster was unprecedented in scale. it's the worst tragedy in

1:22 pm
here's our seoul correspondent, jean mackenzie. escaping north korea is a treacherous game. this is often people's last resort, their means to survive. when the government sealed its border with china at the start of the pandemic, it cut off their only escape route. for months, three people inside the country have risked their lives to tell us about the devastating impact this is having. we're using actors and animations to illustrate their words. the government strictly controls the border, using covid as an excuse. but really, it's to stop the smuggling and people crossing the river to china. this is a market trader living near the border, who we're calling myong suk. if you even approach the river,
1:23 pm
you'll be given a harsh punishment. there's almost nobody crossing now. authorities are also trying to wall people in, erecting fences and surveillance cameras. guards have been ordered to shoot anyone attempting to cross. and in a country already synonymous with brutal prison camps and public executions, a construction worker we're calling chan ho, has told us crackdowns are intensifying. every day it gets harder to live. 0ne wrong move and you're facing execution. _ a friend's son told me about several closed door executions he saw. - each time three to four- people would be executed. the crime was trying to escape. people are stuck here and waiting to die. i i think that what these three north korean people are sharing through these interviews does support the idea that north korea is even more repressive,
1:24 pm
even more totalitarian than it's ever been before. not only is kim jong—un stopping people leaving, he's desperately trying to stop information about the outside world getting in. this poses the biggest threat to his survival, according to ryu hyun woo, one of the regime's highest profile defectors. translation: | know l the government is afraid of people's mindset changing. the younger generation is starting to ask, what has kim jong—un ever done for us? if discontent keeps building up, one day it could explode. we put our findings to the north korean government. a representative from its embassy in london said... "the information you've collected isn't entirely factual, as it's derived from fabricated testimonies from anti—dprk forces.
1:25 pm
the dprk (democratic people's republic of korea) has always prioritised the interests of the people even at difficult times, and has an unwavering commitment to the well—being of the people." you can see more on this story on the documentary north korea: the insiders, on the bbc iplayer. thousands of young disabled people who have money stuck in child trust funds could have their benefits cut — because of the funds they can't access. about 80,000 of the accounts can only be unlocked via a lengthy and often costly court process, because the holders lack mental capacity. and according to analysis by bbc news, about 4,000 of those young people could also see a reduction in their universal credit, because they have more than £6,000 in their savings accounts. nikki fox has this report. harry's got his own aspirations and dreams and things he wants to do.
1:26 pm
it's harry's money. let him spend it. that's rawandeep, talking about her son harry last month, when we revealed he's one of an estimated 80,000 young people whose families can't access their child's savings without going through the court of protection — a lengthy and often costly process. and die—hard footie fan leah could have had the same problems, unlike her twin brother, jack. they're both entitled to the money, were born on the same day, live in the same house. why should they be treated differently? wendy was preparing for a fight, but because leah's savings were held by the trust fund provider one family, she was able to access the money without going through the court of protection. do you feel quite lucky that this was a smooth experience for you? yeah, very. yeah. 0ne less thing you have to sort of worry about, really. as well as unlocking leah's account, one family has helped more
1:27 pm
than 1,000 other young people access their money, releasing £3.6 million. you could get in trouble for what you're doing? i don't lose sleep thinking that i'm breaking the law. - in most of these cases, _ these families are already receiving some form of benefitl from the government. yeah. and if you just follow that paper trail, you can basically establish the link between the parent who's looking after the young adult - and the owner of the money. round and round the garden... but for those who have more than £6,000 in savings, there's another problem. ..two step, tickly under there! claire saved £8,500 for her son's future, but it's locked in his trust fund. everything when you've got a child with disabilities is such a fight and to now have to fight to try and get this money for him, itjust all seems so heartbreaking. where have you gone? on top of that, claire has learnt that because ryan has over £6,000 in savings —
1:28 pm
money he can't access — when he turns 18 he will get less universal credit because it's a means tested benefit. why should he be penalised for something that i've done with the best of intentions to set him up for life? the government says it's speeding up the court process and has released a guide to help families navigate the legal system, which it says exists for good reason. but for the parents of young people who can't make their own financial decisions, they had no idea that the system would make saving for their children so hard. nikki fox, bbc news. you may well recognise some of these images. his works sell for millions of pounds around the world. they are by the street artist banksy, who has never revealed his identity. but he's announced his first official solo exhibition for 1h years. it will open to the public in glasgow on sunday and will show the behind—the—scenes process of how his works are made.
1:29 pm
0ur entertainment correspondent colin paterson has been given a preview. banksy�*s first solo show for 1h years was shrouded in secrecy — not surprising for someone who has never revealed their true identity. only two of the staff at glasgow's gallery of modern art even knew it was happening. my wife will be very surprised this morning and obviously all colleagues were as well, but it will be worth it. they'll understand when they realise it's a banksy exhibition. the show is pretty much a career retrospective and we were the first to be given a look around. many of the stencils used to create banksy�*s most famous works have been included in the show, including this one from the barbican in 2017. but they've been painted and given a new lease of life. there was a time when banksy couldn't get his work in major galleries. his solution? wear a disguise, go in and put them up himself. and there is a real behind—the—scenes element to this show.
