3:32 pm
of the suspect, we know that he was a student here at the university of nottingham. he graduated last year. he had been studying mechanical engineering. he was a dual national, he had portuguese nationality and also guinea—bissau, which is in west africa. he was living permanently here in the uk due to his portuguese nationality as part of the eu resettlement scheme. and, simon, of course for days now we have been hearing details of those two students who died and also the school caretaker. huge amounts of shockin school caretaker. huge amounts of shock in the city as they try to come to terms with what has actually happened here. yes, you get a sense of the outpouring of grief here of people not really understanding what has happened here by the sheer number of flowers that have been left here. people paying the respect
3:33 pm
and having a quiet moment of reflection. i'm going to take you through one of the statement released by the chief constable of nottinghamshire police. she says these charges are a significant development and arrive as a result of our thorough investigation into these horrific incidents that occurred in our city. she goes on that our thoughts are remain with the family of those affected. we would also ask people to respect the family's�*s wishes for privacy at this time to allow them to agree. this has been an incredibly sad time for our city and county and we stand united with our communities as we come to terms with the effects of what has happened. we are keenly aware of the deep emotion being felt surrounding these tragic events and the high level of interest, not only in nottingham and nottinghamshire but also across the whole country. however, the statement goes on, posting prejudicial information online about an active case could amount to contempt of court and in
3:34 pm
the most serious cases that has the potential to cause a collapse of the trial. we know the suspect is going to appear in court for the first time at nottingham should not blame a magistrates�* court and that will happen tomorrow morning. as regards the situation here, the flowers continuing to grow hour by hour as people just want to express their shock and their grief at what has happened. i was here yesterday when there was a vigil being held on the spot. we heard from the families of the three people who died. it was hugely emotional. people in the crowds hearing the families speak, tears running down theirfaces. because this is a close community. it is a big student population here who have been very keenly affected by what happened. many people also coming to remember ian coates, the caretaker who lost his life. lots of words said about what he had done for the community. and really a sense of shock and disbelief. but now a major development in the police investigation in this case. simon, just a quick final thought
3:35 pm
because of course we knew that one person was in hospital in a critical condition. after tuesday. is there any update on his condition? we have had a brief update on that. the person who was in a critical condition, their condition has now improved. they are said to be in a stable condition. two other people were injured when a van was driven into them. we understand one of those has been released from hospital. but in terms of that part of the investigation, that forms some of the charges the suspect is now facing. as well as those three counts of murder he has also been charged with three counts of attempted murder relating to those people who were hit by a van. simon jones there in nottingham, thanks for bringing us right up to date on that breaking development there in nottingham. we will keep an eye on that story but let�*s pause from the news and head to the sports centre.

3:40 pm
look at the ashes score. 240—5. that is all the sport for now. i can�*t believe you asked me who i was supporting, catherine! just in case! now, first there was a resignation, then the damning report. next up, mps get to have a vote. the fallout continues, from the political demise of boris johnson. on thursday, the commons�* privileges committee published a report into the so—called partygate scandal — and accused the former prime minister, of deliberately misleading the house of commons. members will get a free vote on its conclusions on monday and there�*s speculation as to how many mps might vote to back mrjohnson. live now to westminster and our political correspondent iain watson. we are hearing that perhaps that might not be a vote at all. technically speaking it will be a vote on monday and mps will be asked to approve this report which will deprive borisjohnson of a right to
3:41 pm
a parliamentary pass in future and would make it clear that had he still been an mp, had he not resigned, he would have been suspended for quite a long period, for about three months from the house of commons. that can be simply nodded through by mps but the assumption was, certainly since yesterday, was there would be a vote because some of borisjohnson�*s allies were very critical of this committee. the cross party that reach those conclusions. they have been suggesting like borisjohnson it was a kangaroo court that was desperately unfair. so you are expecting a bit of a stand—off. but one of his allies told the bbc that he had spoken to mrjohnson himself today and he does not want to push this to what is technically called a vote would be recorded in the house of commons. and that may well be because his critics would argue that perhaps the strength of support borisjohnson may not be quite as robust as was being predicted. it also will certainly help rishi sunak as well because number ten, downing
3:42 pm
street, have been very coy indeed about whether the prime minister would actually take part in that vote. it is potentially divisive inside his own party or how he would vote if he did. certainly if this report is simply nodded through, it helps the former prime minister, it helps the former prime minister, it helps the former prime minister, it helps the current prime minister but it may well be that opposition mps tried to push this to a vote on monday. so they may not be able to defuse what had been a very explosive few days entirely. but certainly one of the senior ministers in government, michael gove, who latterly did not get on with borisjohnson, was sacked in boris johnson�*s last with borisjohnson, was sacked in borisjohnson�*s last day in office. but he too was remaining relatively tight—lipped about what his intentions would be if this does go to a vote on monday. i�*m going to read the full report and then come to a conclusion. the charges that the privileges committee have levied against the prime minister, ex prime minister i should say, of course, are very serious and therefore require some careful reading and thought on my part.
3:43 pm
to look at the evidence produced and the arguments they make and to consider mrjohnson�*s own defence of his actions and then i will come to a conclusion on monday about what the right course of action for me as an individual member of the house of commons is because of course, all of us are asked as mps to passjudgment, not as members of the government. back to ian watson. interesting what you are saying about rishi sunak in terms of what the opposition though want to push because they will want to make the point this is all about leadership, this is all about principle given what we are talking about in terms of the contents of that report was yellow absolutely. effectively, rishi sunak said when he took over as prime minister he wanted to restore integrity to the system and what labour will try to do is either suggest he is too weak to stand up to some people in his own party, including the former prime minister borisjohnson but it doesn�*t really care about integrity if he doesn�*t take part in out vote. so i think that is why there was
3:44 pm
still try to find a way to push this without. more unwelcome news for rishi sunak potentially, boris johnson has a newjob as a columnist for the newspaper, right of centre newspaper the daily mail. his first column will appear later on today. but guess what? the advisory body that looks at appointments for x minister said that they only got 30 minutes warning this was going to be the case and they have pronounced, matthew, in words that we very familiar indeed to borisjohnson that he has committed a clear breach of the rules. ian watson at westminster, thank you very much for that. before we take a break, let me just take you back to saint petersburg and vladimir putin is a you earlier is talking there, he has been for a number of hours but i willjust whizz been for a number of hours but i will just whizz you through a been for a number of hours but i willjust whizz you through a couple of the key lines he has been saying at that meeting. he talked about ukraine getting f—16s. he said if f-165 ukraine getting f—16s. he said if f—16s are deployed outside of ukraine�*s orders but used in combat
3:45 pm
actions we may consider how and where to actually hit them. he then went on to say we have never closed the door on democracy, diplomacy rather. he then said we have much more heavy weapons than nato. and then interesting given what he just said about not closing the door on diplomacy, he has then gone on to talk about tactical nuclear weapons and so we have tactical nuclear weapons already in belarus. we may use tactical weapons only in the threat to the russian state. a flavour of some of the comments that vladimir putin has been making in the last little while. around the world and across the uk you are watching bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. the county durham community of stand—up, replete with pub, cafe is, shops. but what this town no longer has is a bank. barclays was the last branch opened here until it closed in april. and

3:49 pm
talking and the impact is still really considerable on the ground. in terms of the casualty numbers, what are your early estimates? casualty estimate was 19 to the evening today. but the rough sea conditions with a wave height of ten to 12 feet, so thousands of people are still in their homes and they are still in their homes and they are not ready to leave their homes because... the majority of these people are fishermen and they lost their boats and they lost their houses, they lost their cattle and livelihoods. the government is forcing them and we are trying to relocate them. 90% of people have

3:52 pm
around since the 1980s but it had beenin around since the 1980s but it had been in a private collection. so we don�*t work on specimens when they�*re in private collections and it was acquired by the dinosaur museum on the isle of wight in 2021. so we were able to work on it then. we knew about the specimen for a while but we didn�*t really know what it was until we got to look at it closely. was until we got to look at it closel . �* , ., ., ., ~' was until we got to look at it closel . �* , ., . closely. and when you did look at it closel , closely. and when you did look at it closely. even _ closely. and when you did look at it closely, even as _ closely. and when you did look at it closely, even as you _ closely. and when you did look at it closely, even as you speak- closely. and when you did look at it closely, even as you speak there i closely. and when you did look at it closely, even as you speak there is| closely, even as you speak there is a huge smile on your face. what was it like to get up close and to see this thing? it it like to get up close and to see this thing?— this thing? it is a really fantastic specimen- _ this thing? it is a really fantastic specimen- it _ this thing? it is a really fantastic specimen. it has _ this thing? it is a really fantastic specimen. it has a _ this thing? it is a really fantastic specimen. it has a really - this thing? it is a really fantastic l specimen. it has a really complete vertebrate column, so lots of the vertebrae from the neck and back region are complete. it has a lovely hit region and it has amazing armour, it is an armoured dinosaur that are covered in plates and spikes and armoured shield. this has loads of those preserved, so it is really, really fantastic to see and it is really nicely preserved. and it is really nicely preserved. and it tells us that there were more on
3:53 pm
the isle of wight and we had previously realised. so we will have to go back and look all the material that we thought we knew and reappraise it in light of this. that is really interesting because think i�*m right in saying that this is a different type of species. so you had different types of species of dinosaur effectively living side by side on a pretty small island? yeah, and when we — side on a pretty small island? yeah, and when we looked _ side on a pretty small island? yeah, and when we looked at _ side on a pretty small island? yeah, and when we looked at the - and when we looked at the relationship the two types from the island that are known are not very would look closely related to each other. this one is about 8 million years older than the other that is known really well from the isle of wight. to put that in context we share a common ancestor with orangutans about 12 million years ago so there is a lot of evolution can happen in that time period. we don�*t know because we don�*t have the fossils yet that these two dinosaurs were overlapping in time. it could be that the new one is significantly older and they were not overlapping but we know that one did not evolve

some changes afoot as we head towards we can. the first signs of those changes have been showing themselves across the western side of the country, that was the isles of the country, that was the isles of scilly earlier on today. quite a lot of cloud overhead. you can see that cloud approaching from the west on our earlier satellite image. an area of low pressure spinning just out here in the atlantic. as the lower edges closer we will increasingly see areas of cloud and some showers and thunderstorms through the afternoon across the western side of the uk, particularly across northern ireland. but pollen levels remaining high or very high for the majority, vertically where we have dry conditions and strong sunshine, lifting temperatures once again to around 27 or 28 degrees. this evening and overnight we will continue to see more in the way of cloud and showery rain racing into western parts of the uk. that rain making a little more progress
3:57 pm
eastwards. further east, clear skies, missed patches, relatively chilly night across parts of north—east england in eastern scotland. we will see some of the best of the sunshine during saturday morning, further south and west we see more in the way of cloud. showers, possibly the odd thunderstorm here and there. temperatures as we go through saturday, still up to around 25 or 26 degrees in the sunny spots. but a little bit cooler than it has been out towards the west, 20 degrees for example in belfast. during saturday evening, still some of these showers, the odd thunderstorm across western parts, mainly dry further east but a lot of low cloud close to north sea coast. sunday, this weather system running up from the south. this could bring more in the way of showers and thunderstorms through the day on sunday, vertically i think across england and wales, where the showers and storms do crop up they could bring some rain for localised flooding, south—west scotland since those as
