tonight at ten... doubt is cast on the greek coastguard's account of how it dealt with the migrant ship that sank in its waters last week. hundreds of people are feared to have died, but a bbc investigation suggests the overcrowded fishing vessel barely moved for many hours before it sank. the greek authorities insist the boat was on a steady course to italy, but using court documents, video and data tracking, our investigation challenges that claim. we'll have more from kalamata shortly. also on the programme: michael gove apologises for the actions of conservative staff, after video emerges of a christmas gathering during covid restriction. during covid restrictions. 25 years after northern ireland's troubles, we hearfrom families facing intimidation — living in estates still divided along religious lines. and andy murray's winning run

continues, as he takes the nottingham title, with two weeks to go to wimbledon. good evening. a bbc investigation has found evidence that casts doubt on the greek coastguard's account of its response to the migrant ship, which sank last week with hundreds of lives feared lost. an analysis of the movements of other ships in the area suggests the overcrowded fishing vessel barely moved for seven hours before it capsized. the greek coastguard claims that during this time, the vessel was on its way to italy and didn't need rescuing. the ship sank about 50 miles off the southern coast of greece. survivors were taken to kalamata, where our europe correspondent nick beake is tonight.

well, the greek coastguard has faced heavy criticism for not doing more to help those people on board. its main justification has been to help those people on board. its mainjustification has been that they did not want their help and that crucially, the boat was moving in a steady direction towards italy. what we have tried to do is piece together a picture of what really happened and to commit to do that, we have been looking at court documents, photographs and video. —— and to do that. and at data tracking of boats in the mediterranean sea, this specific part on the day of the tragedy. and our investigation casts serious doubt on the official greek version of events. last tuesday morning, from the air, authorities spot the migrant boat. this is a surveillance photo. a simulation we've obtained from a ship—tracking service shows civilian boats in the area in the run—up to the sinking. coastguard and military vessels do not appear. the migrant boat didn't have a tracker, but the yellow pin shows where it eventually goes down.

at around 15:00 gmt, a ship called the lucky sailor — which gave us its logbook — turned sharply and is asked by the coastguard to supply food and water to the migrant boat. soon after, says the coastguard, its helicopter finds the boat to be on a steady course. but two—and—a—half hours later, at around 6pm, another vessel, the faithful warrior, comes to the same area and is also requested to supply food to the boat. bbc verify has confirmed this is footage of it happening. from 7:40 until 10:40, greek officials — from a discreet distance — see the boat keeping a steady course and speed, according to their initial statement. but they later published this close—up image, taken in the same time period, which shows no waves around the migrant boat, suggesting it's hardly moving. and let's look again at the activity of the last seven hours. it's all around one specific spot,

indicating the migrant boat has barely changed position. remember, all this time, greece says the vessel is not in trouble and is safely on its way to italy, and so no rescue is needed. it is at ”pm that the boat sinks, with hundreds on board. and there's a frenzy of ships coming to help, including the celebrity beyond, from where this footage was taken and later sent to the bbc. a luxury yacht, the mayan queen, is then instructed to assist and takes the survivors to shore. they reach safety at the port of kalamata, but leave behind serious questions about the whole greek response. the united nations has already called for an investigation into what happened and has reminded countries of their legal and moral obligation to help people who may be in distress on the water. tonight, there is another development because we have seen court documents which

suggest that the captain of the coastguard vessel which was there when the migrant boat went down believed that in the ii when the migrant boat went down believed that in the 11 hours before it sank, the migrant boat had travelled just 3.3 nautical miles. hardly on a steady course to italy. we have put ourfindings hardly on a steady course to italy. we have put our findings to the greek coastguard and they are yet to get back to us. nick, thank you, nick beake. the levelling up secretary, michael gove, has apologised after a video emerged showing conservative party workers drinking and dancing at a christmas celebration when covid restrictions were in place. the footage was filmed in december 2020, at party headquarters. mr gove said the gathering was "indefensible", and he apologised unreservedly — as our political correspondent iain watson reports. december 14th, 2020. the covid rules at the time said that people from different households

shouldn't socialise indoors. but in the basement of conservative party h0, this campaign team didn't appear to receive the memo, or perhaps didn't see the social—distancing posters on the walls. they were campaigners for the conservative candidate for london mayor at the time, shaun bailey. he's soon to join the house of lords, courtesy of borisjohnson�*s resignation honours list. he doesn't appear in the video, but one of his key campaigners does. ben mallet got an 0be in the borisjohnson honours list, and senior conservatives are braced for a backlash. michael gove said sorry, on behalf of his fellow conservatives. on a personal level, i would like to apologise to people for this behaviour. it's unacceptable and indefensible. so, would the honours be withdrawn? no, i don't think that.

the decision to confer honours on people was one that was made by borisjohnson as an outgoing prime minister. all charlotte hodge, from bradford, lost her husband jim to covid in november 2021, and her children lost their father. it's upsetting and it makes me angry. you know, it's ok for them to say sorry, it'sjust words. it's a word, you know? it's not going to bring anyone back. the december 2020 event had been reported before, but without video footage. the police previously decided to take no action, but say they're now aware of the new footage and are considering it. 0pposition parties want action. there also appears to be a mocking of the rules. that is going on in the video. where people up and down the country were making sacrifices to follow- the rules that were imposed and, lyet again, you get this one rule, | it seems, for those _ who are in government and another

for everyone else. rishi sunak wants to move on from partygate, but events like this still cast a long political shadow. and iain is with me. iain, partygate will be a majorfeature in parliament again tomorrow. absolutely right, pa rtygate absolutely right, partygate will be very prominent tomorrow in parliament because mps will be giving —— given hours to air their views on this cross—party privileges committee report into whether... misled parliament. clearly, mps will have different views. harriet harman the chair of that committee will give a staunch defence of the report's findings that boris johnson lied on multiple occasions. however, he has already called to the conclusions of that report deranged so you can expect some of his supporters to stand up tomorrow and get stuck in. what is not clear to note is that once mps have aired their views, will they then simply push the report through or will

there be a recorded vote? some conservatives do want their votes recorded, even though that will make life more difficult for the current occupant of number 10. because if rishi sunak votes with the report, he will upset pro—johnson activist. if he votes against, the opposition will say he lacks integrity. if he doesn't turn up to vote at all, he is hosting a foreign leader in downing street tomorrow, he will be denounced as weak. so although boris johnson is no longer an mp, he will probably hang a bit like a gloomy thundercloud over rishi sunak tomorrow and potentially over the four by—elections which the conservatives are now facing. thank you for now, iain watson. later this week, the bank of england is likely to increase its base interest rate again, as it tries to dampen consumer spending in an attempt to reduce inflation. it's further worry for many people with mortgages — and research for the bbc suggests 800,000 households are facing a big increase in their monthly mortgage payments as they come off their fixed rate deals between now and the end of the year. our business correspondent

marc ashdown has the details. there is a mortgage shock coming. around 800,000 uk households have cheap fixed—rate deals due to finish by the end of the year. new mum charlotte lives in surrey. her monthly repayments are predicted to go up by more than £1,000 a month, to £2,750. do we have to sell, move back in with family, who live four hours away? or do we maybe get a lodger? but we have a small baby. so, yeah, we're not ruling anything out at the moment. fixed—rate mortgage deals coming to an end now have become much more expensive. on a £250,000 mortgage, a five—year deal back in 2018 had a rate of less than 3%, with monthly repayments of £1,175. for the same deal today, the rate is around 5.62%, with repayments of about £1,500

a month — an extra £378 every month, and nearly £23,000 over the mortgage term. so how does the same size mortgage compare to two years ago, when the government brought in a stamp duty holiday? well, the average rate back then was 2.59%, with a monthly payment of £1,133. today, the average rate�*s gone up for the same deal to about 6%, about £1,600 a month — an extra £475 every month, or £11,400 overall. those remortgaging are being urged to take advice to consider all their options. analysts say this is piling pressure on already stretched household budgets. so right now, if you are looking at taking out a mortgage, you're maybe looking at around £400 more for an equivalent mortgage today than you did two years ago, or even five years ago, and that's quite eye—watering, if you consider the amount of money you have to put aside for your mortgage. the liberal democrats are urging

the government to step in with emergency support, like with jobs during covid, or energy bills last year. but ministers are prioritising bringing inflation down, to try to ease the cost of living for everyone. you need to go to the root cause of this. - so you can provide - temporary amelioration. you can provide a salve, j a balm and intervention. and as i've said earlier, - we keep that under review. the whole housing market will be affected, as landlords grapple with likely increases in buy—to—let mortgages, pushing rents ever higher for tenants. all eyes on the bank of england on thursday to see if it puts its base interest rate up again and, with it, housing costs for millions. marc ashdown, bbc news. the former first minister of scotland and former snp leader nicola sturgeon has returned home for the first time since she was arrested and released without charge as part of an investigation into the party's finances. speaking outside her home in glasgow, she maintained her innocence.

i can't say very much just now. what i will say is, er, reiterate the statement i issued last sunday. i am certain that i have done nothing wrong. i intend to be back in parliament in the early part of the week. i'll make myself available for questions then. 0bviously, within the constraints that i'm referring to right now. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, has been holding talks with his chinese counterpart in beijing, in an effort to ease tensions between the two countries. the white house says the talks have been "candid, substantive, and constructive". antony blinken is the first senior american diplomat to visit china in five years. his trip was postponed in february, when relations worsened after a suspected chinese spy balloon flew over us airspace. the bbc has been told that too many people in northern ireland are still living in estates divided along religious lines. the head of the housing executive

says more needs to be done to decrease segretation. a young mother from a catholic background has been telling us how she had to leave her home after experiencing abuse in a largely protestant neighbourhood. segregation arose during the troubles — the conflict in northern ireland — and a quarter of a century on, it is slow to change, as our ireland correspondent emma vardy reports. and a warning that you may find some of the language in this report offensive. some 80% of social housing in northern ireland remains heavily segregated. a patchwork quilt of estates that are either predominantly catholic irish communities or mainly protestant loyalist areas. with the child, you know, i had nowhere else to go. and i was told, if you don't take the three offers that you're given, you'll be off the list for five years. when danielle, who's from a catholic background, was offered housing in this largely protestant area, she moved in with her young son. until this incident, with people living nearby.

i've seen the door shake itself. and i ran into my bedroom. it was a big shock, you know, for them to be doing that, like. what did you think was going on? honestly, i didn't know what it was. the term used are highly derogatory. they called me a fenian, a taig. it's very offensive... yeah. ..against catholics. i just felt sick. it didn't feel real. and i was confused. and, like, why? shouting while recorded cases of alleged housing intimidation have reduced, human rights groups say incidents still continue, with many victims afraid to speak out. people who experience various types of alleged threats are awarded so—called intimidation points by the housing executive and will be prioritised

for alternative accommodation. northern ireland's housing executive believes increasing the availability of housing in mixed areas will help tackle the problems associated with segregation, and says it's working with housing associations to create more shared communities. over the last 17 years, 70 housing estates have been built, entirely with a focus on sharing and shared housing. and so, we have seen significant progress made and significant progress made where communities themselves choose to share. but we're not there yet. and we must not take our eyes off this, it has to continue to be a significant area of focus. but change is gradual. the continuing presence of so—called peace walls — which physically separate some mainly protestant and catholic areas — are a tangible reminder of old divides. and a proliferation of flags put up by residents can be seen as a marking of territory. one of the risks is that union flags will go up as, essentially, -

part of a process of intimidation, to deter catholics _ and ethnic minorities- from moving into those areas. and in that case, you're much less likely to get desegregated - communities and you're much less likely to tackle housing inequality. j in addition, whilst new areas - are welcome, we shouldn't really have a situation where we have many of our existing _ areas being no—go areas - for sections of our population. after being advised by police to leave her home, danielle spent weeks staying on sofas with family. the two men are now facing charges of criminal damage and intimidation. adrian and alistair douglas — from the bbc, ijust want to ask you about your behaviour at the door that day. why did you act like that? have you got anything to say about the incident? you had quite a lot to say at that door, do you want to explain what the issue was? does that reflect who you are as a person? does that reflect your views? why did you act like that at her door? anything to say to her?

do you regret the incident? mr douglas, do you want to explain what you were doing that day? any words for the girl? danielle's now been found a flat in another area, as even for northern ireland's younger generations, divisions through segregated housing are proving difficult to consign to the past. emma vardy, bbc news. let's get all the details from hugh ferris. good evening. the weather has intervened for the first time in this summer's ashes, bringing an early end to day three of the opening test, when england were 28 for two in their second innings. patrick gearey reports from edgbaston. england could not afford an easy sunday morning at edgbaston. not with the game in the balance and time marching onwards.

with the pitch unhelpful, they needed a plan. everything in its right place — fielders, ball. alex carey the latest to be entranced byjimmy anderson. all the while, australia were advancing, and this was starting to hurt england. moeen ali's stinging spinning finger needed treatment, and the attack weakened. ben stokes moved his men to unusual places to unsettle usman khawaja. bowled 0llie robinson for a brilliant 141. breakthrough made, the rest of the aussie batting gave way, ending fittingly in the hands of stokes. an excellent end to that session from england means they do have a first—innings lead, albeit ofjust seven runs. that leaves this match fascinatingly poised, with the added dimension of storms potentially coming in through the afternoon. and as the dark lord left, darker skies arrived. rain delayed the match,

in the crowd were his four children. hopefully, i'll get back home tonight and see my kids for father's day, get a rest day tomorrow and, yes, get pumped for queen's. oh, my god! aw, i didn't know they were here! applause i had no idea they were coming. and the home fans soon had even more to cheer. jodie burrage and katie boulter in the first all—british final on the women's tour since 1977. and it was boulter that seized it in straight sets. the biggest title of her career — dedicated to those who had supported her. this one always gets me a little emotional. my team, my family, you know, who work through the tough moments and the good moments... i'm sorry. applause but those tears soon turned to smiles. for british tennis, a day of double delight. andy swiss, bbc news. red bull's max verstappen has won the canadian grand prix —
