the fire inside the flat broke out in the early hours of last friday morning. gemma germeney died at the scene. she was 31. her daughter, lilly peden, who was eight, and her son oliver, who was four, died later in hospital. a man in his thirties remains in a critical condition. the fire service says the blaze started accidentally and the most probable cause was an electric bike that was charging. obviously, an e—bike will have a lithium ion battery, normally, on the bike, the same as on an e—scooter, on hoverboards, in your mobile phones. most devices have got them in a range of different sizes, and if they get too hot, they can explode and cause a really intense fire. and i think that's what we're seeing here. family members of the three who died say they're devastated by the tragedy. the emergency services say they're aware that e—bikes and e—scooters are becoming increasingly common, but they're urging anyone who owns one to be aware of the potential dangers of batteries overheating. and the advice is don't

charge them at night, but charge them in the day instead when people are more alert and able to react more quickly if something goes wrong. these shocking pictures from illingworth in west yorkshire show what can happen in extreme cases. here, an electric motorbike was left on charge inside overnight. four people were taken to hospital, but fortunately nobody received life—threatening injuries. i'm mark from the fire service. in cambridge, residents are being offered help on safety issues. e—bikes can be an environmentally—friendly way to get around, but the fire service says make sure you use the battery recommended by the manufacturer and the correct charging cables. simonjones, bbc news, cambridge. for the last five years, former soldier steve davies has been on a mission. he's set about restore old military graves that have fallen into disrepair and to bring them back to their original state. along the way, he's discovered some

remarkable stories of those who gave their lives for their country, as graham satchell reports. in the solemn stillness of a country churchyard, steve davies is heading to his latest project. he starts by using a brush, washing up liquid and elbow grease. it's a work of art. and i think to myself, that needs — you know, they need to be cleaned and remembered. you're bringing back a story, a life of someone who has defended the country. you know, and i get a buzz out of that. yeah, i agree. i get more of a buzz out of it than anything. steve is a former soldier, served in northern ireland. he started restoring military graves by chance after a family christening.

ijust happened to come out of the church first, and as i looked to my right, i saw a commonwealth war grave completely grown over with weeds. and i thought, that's not right, it shouldn't be like that. so my wife and i came back the next day. we cleared all the weeds. six months later, i'd done 144, all within a ten mile radius of where i lived. i find them, i renovate them, i seek permission, and then i revisit them every two or three years and re—clean them. steve always takes before and after photos of the graves he restores. the transformations are quite something. i love doing the short videos of reels, which we speed up, and i put great music to them. look for the william tell one on tik tok. that's really funny. steve funds most of the work himself through a just giving page, the military grave restorer. he has two volunteer researchers

who try to find the stories behind the headstones. i found a bugler from the charge of the light brigade, the last survivor of rorke�*s drift, colour sergeant bourne. the last survivor of the battle of waterloo, private samuel gibson, in catherham cemetery. all these people are out there, who lay dirty and in a disgusting state. so we bring it back to life. this is the grave of private landfried, now lovingly restored by steve. he sounded the bugle at the charge of the light brigade in 185a. steve's team discovered an extraordinary recording of him made in 1890. i am now going to sound the bugle and sound the charge on that very same bugle.

in beckenham, the grave of colour sergeant bourne, again restored. his courage at the battle of rorke�*s drift, immortalised in the film zulu by the actor nigel green. the sentries report zulus to the south—west. thousands of them. back in the cemetery, lee denis is visiting the grave of his son harry, who died in a traffic accident last year. we struggle, obviously, for losing harry. he was only 11 years old. it was a week before christmas. it couldn't have been a more tragic accident. difficult is the only way i can describe it, really. very difficult day by day. but we'll get there, i'm sure we will. lee visits his son's grave every day. he started to notice military headstones in the cemetery. he already followed steve on facebook, and decided to send him a message. he said, "do you want to meet tomorrow?"

and that was it. steve came down, and he was like, "right". he was quite forthright. "right, do you want to help me clean them up, then?" and i've been doing it ever since. do you want to push it back in, just for the moment, while we're doing the stone? go on! she is heavy. go on, put your back into it. yeah. i get great pleasure from doing it. and i don't think about my everyday life and my everyday struggles. i'm just there and i'm scrubbing and i'm on my own, and steve's directing me, which he's very good at doing. and he says i've become quite a good apprentice. so he just gives me direction and he leaves me to it. the graves i'm cleaning, most of them were young people that passed. obviously, they passed before their parents. they passed fighting the war for us as we are now. and i feel like i'm doing my bit for their parents as well, if that makes sense. i'd like to think that someone maybe in 100 years' time will clean harry's grave for me. it's a beautiful stone. and that will shine.

steve and lee are almost done for the day. the writing on the headstone is now starting to become legible. steve takes photos to send to his researcher. you see the lettering become clear. so we now know who he is, what he did. we can now go and research him and hopefully find family and add his obituary and find the research. that gives me loads of pleasure. that'll look nice by the weekend. 0k. for both steve and lee, this has become a kind of therapy, restoring the graves and resurrecting the stories of forgotten heroes. we know that deep sleep is good for you, but how would you feel after having the deepest sleep in the world? that s what s on offer at a new hotel more than 400 metres underground in a welsh slate mine. as reporter george herd found out, it s not for the faint—hearted.

the rugged landscape surrounding snowdonia. but it is what is under these hills we are interested in today. so, we have made our way up to an old quarry on the edge of snowdonia, where we are hoping to find the deepest sleep in the world. a hotel where there is no real reception. we have to make our way down. for that, we need some special gear. yeah, it looks quite intimidating. i can just feel how it's so much colder here. after you. this is the cwmorthin slate mine near gwynned. hundreds of men worked here before it was abandoned during the first world war. it is ourjob to navigate five massive floors underground, scrambling down steep inclines, flooded chambers and dangerous hazards, lit only by a head torch. when they said go underground and have a look at some

accommodation, i didn't expect to be doing this. let's give it a go. 0h! after an arduous two—hour descent, we finally arrived at our destination, 1,375 feet below the surface. that is nearly half a kilometre underground. this is the door to deep sleep. do you want to show me in? of course, follow me. wow. this is something else. this is deep sleep, the deepest underground accommodation in the world. we will head to the first of our four cabins and take a look. it is nice and cosy in here. you can feel the heat as you walk in.

a brilliant night's sleep. it is better than my bed at home, i think. every part of this was hand built on the surface before being flat packed and painstakingly carried down, piece by piece. a lot of people come here, they book a hotel and they go out on an adventure. i like to think we have combined the two and they can do an adventure and sleep underground at the same time. we know people are going to love it, else we would not have created the space. food underground is included. freeze—dried expedition meals, hot and filling. but don't expect them to be michelin star. one last thing. alcohol is banned for safety. after all, you still have to climb all the way back up again to reach daylight. george herd, bbc news. a miniature donkey has been given a new lease of life after vets in north yorkshire fitted him with a pacemaker. prince buttons is thought to be one

of only a few donkeys in the world to have had to procedure done, as lizzie rose reports. # i was walking down the road and i saw a donkey #. - they were walking down the road when buttons fell ill. he was screaming, braying at the top of his voice. we knew after that whenever buttons was going to go down, he sort of had intuition. the trip to the vets and an ecg later, buttons had his diagnosis. what do we do? pacemaker. i laughed. i said, "you arejoking." no, we will put a pacemaker in. the surgery is incredibly rare. there are only a few donkeys

in the world who have had this done. it is certainly the first one that has been done at this hospital. it was really exciting for us to be able to recruit a big team and be able to help the donkey and be able to... yes, get them some help. he has changed. i loved him to bits before. i always thought you had to love him an extra special bit. put your fingers up the other side and you will feel his pacemaker. a nice donkey, bless him. we will have him for a good while yet. inafew in a few minutes we will take your

life to parliament where the prime minister is about to take questions from the high—profile renaissance committee, the group that scrutinises the government's effectiveness. he faces questions from them three times a year. today he is expected to be quizzed on a range of dishes from ukraine to climate issues. let's bring in damian grammaticus to take us through what will be happening. a lengthy agenda this afternoon. what should we be looking out for? this doesnt should we be looking out for? ti 3 doesn't happen that should we be looking out for? t1151 doesn't happen that often. should we be looking out for? ti 1 doesn't happen that often. the last one was back in march. there are the of the environment committee might want to ques1in| him on that. of the environment committee might want to ques1in| him o there are the parliamentary committees that one was back in march. there are the parliamentary committees that scrutinise legislation, and the scrutinise legislation, and the chairs of each of those committees chairs of each of those sit on this body, the liaison committee. the senior person in that area, they get yes to prime minister questions. some of them are conservatives, but that doesn't mean that they don't jealously guard their own area and probe him on

that. you mentioned ukraine. he is going to a summit of nato leaders next week. questions there about what the policy of nato beech wood ukraine, particularly ukrainian membership. eastern companies countries want that to happen quickly, others don't. climate change will be interesting. he had a minister resigned last week, lord zac goldsmith, who had been environment minister, said rishi sunak was uninterested in policy. he said that you, our prime minister, are simply uninterested and that has trickled down throughout whitehall and has cost the kind of paralysis. to reach net zero targets, the chair of the environment committee might want to question him on that.
