1:02 pm
groped two people at a private members club in 2020, describing his behaviour as completely inappropriate and an abuse of power. if the suspension is agreed by mps there's likely to be be a by—election in his tamworth constituency. mr pincher was deputy chief whip under borisjohnson, but resigned after the allegations emerged last year. borisjohnson�*s handling of the situation led to the fall of his government, after a wave of ministerial resignations. here's our political correspondent ione wells. a year ago this week, boris johnson's handling of groping allegations against his deputy chief whip, chris pincher, led to his downfall as prime minister. now, we know more about what those allegations were. they took place here, the private members club, the carlton club. a report by
1:03 pm
parliament's standards watchdog says that mr pincher groped two individuals. he touched the first individuals. he touched the first individual on his arm and neck before groping his bottom. the report says mr pincher was intoxicated at the time. it adds that his behaviour was witnessed by at least one other person out the club and likely others too. the watchdog says his behaviour was shocking, deeply inappropriate and adversely impacted two unsuspecting individuals. and the conduct led to a misplaced public perception that mps do not have to abide by normal standards of behaviour. it concludes that his behaviour damaged the reputation of all mps and the house of commons, something mr pincher denies. but the reporter says he admitted it damaged his own reputation and that of the government, and apologised to the individuals involved. the report

forcing the doors of a thousand locations. police! through the eyes of the police officers, this is what they find. cannabis farms in homes, industrial units, anywhere the plants can be grown. this is the biggest, fastest raid across england and wales of its kind. the profits from these class b drugs are precisely how organised gangs prosper. what isn't currently thought of is the harm that actually this large—scale cultivation does. many of these gangs are involved in a lot of violence and harm in our communities. a lot of exploitation who they force into working in such industry, and also the amount of money, particularly cash, that they then use to fuel their organised criminal activities. 200,000 plants have been

mcmullen puts scotland in a strong position against the netherlands in bulawayo. a win will secure their spot for india. there's fresh hope for the world's largest gannet colony on bass rock, a volcanic outcrop off the east coast of scotland. thousands of birds died last year, when avian flu struck in the middle of the breeding season. a year on, the gannet population is showing signs of recovery, as a team of scientists from edinburgh discovered. and they were joined by our climate editor, justin rowlatt. david attenborough: bass rock in scotland's firth of forth - is the largest gannet colony in the world. david attenborough's team visited bass rock three years ago. at the height of summer of the whole of bass rock is jam—packed. but this time last year, right in the middle of the breeding season, bird flu struck.
1:19 pm
gannets, including chicks, died in their thousands. this was the population in 2020, an estimated 150,000 birds. this is 2022. a year on and we are headed back to bass rock with a team of scientists from edinburgh university who are doing the first population survey of the gannets this year. there have been huge changes. this area was completely covered with birds. gannets everywhere. not breeding, but it was just full with life. maggie sheddan has been coming here virtually every week for more than 20 years. slowly, in the space of three weeks, i've seen this colonyjust empty. it was heartbreaking to watch that, this magnificent bird that's so strong, just have no power at all.
1:20 pm
so it's going to start from the far corner. | the scientists send up a drone to take pictures. they'll use artificial intelligence to count the birds. because obviously humans are far more prone to error, so you can get tired, you can just get bored of counting the birds which mean you get less accurate as time goes on. a computer doesn't get bored, it doesn't get hired. -- it —— it doesn't get tired. but even without ai you can see a lot of birds have come back. some have survived the flu. just look how it can change their eyes. and there are chicks — lots of them. maggie is delighted. this is magnificent, what we are seeing here. what we are seeing now, there's established breeders that have survived. there's a lot more than i think we hoped for. but lots of the birds haven't built nests. gannets pairfor life. these birds are waiting for their partners to come back. but it's late in the season. maggie fears most are probably dead.
1:21 pm
it will be a couple of months before the scientists publish theirfindings. the colony has taken a big hit, but the good news is the gannets of bass rock will survive. justin rowlatt, bbc news, the firth of forth. should the westminster government formally apologise to hundreds of mothers who were forced to give up their babies for adoption in the 1960s and �*70s? ministers in scotland and wales already have, but the uk government says it was society's attitudes in those decades that caused the adoptions — not official policy. but our correspondent duncan kennedy — who has reported on the issue for a decade now — has been shown unpublished documentation indicating the governments of the day were aware of the problem and in fact there were policies indicating they should provide support for unmarried mothers in terms of help with benefits and housing. here's his report. two landmark apologies for forced
1:22 pm
adoptions, in wales... and for this, the welsh government is truly sorry. for the decades of pain that you have suffered... ..and scotland. ..a sincere, heartfelt and unreserved apology. it left birth mothers there overjoyed. but what about the rest of the uk? well, a committee of westminster mps recommended the uk government also apologise. but whilst the government said sorry, it didn't offer an official apology. but in a letter to the prime minister today, hundreds of birth mothers argue the uk state was morally responsible for forced adoptions. and this injustice should, like scotland and wales, result in an apology. the mothers include heather burnley from shropshire. i was 15 when i became pregnant, and that was in 1971. heather says pressure to give up her baby for adoption came first
1:23 pm
from a social worker. she said it's going to be very difficult. somebody — and she did use the word — would possibly call him a bustard. she used that word? she did use that word, yes. heather's baby boy was taken from her at ten days. she wouldn't see him again for 34 years. it's thought around 180,000 unmarried women were involved in this. many had hoped this 1950 report laying out government policy would help them, as it read, "it is considered essential to keep the unmarried mother and her child together, if this is at all possible." but documents we've seen at the national records office in london show that often didn't happen. how do we know this? well, because this letter says so. it's written by a group of organisations, including local authorities, adoption agencies and magistrates, to the then minister of health injune 1951. and it's almost a plea for resources.
1:24 pm
they say, "mothers of illegitimate children are driven to adoption because they are unable to find accommodation." it goes on to say that, "she" — the mother — "is forced to part from her baby, whether she wishes it or not." now, this letter ends up with other civil servants in whitehall. now these civil servants craft a letter to write back to these organisations saying, in terms, that there's not much more that the minister can do. the documents were discovered by dr michael lambert, who's about to publish this new research linking government policy to forced adoptions. the documents show that the government were aware of the circumstances in post—war britain, whereby their claim that women were unable to keep their children is simply not the case, because the resources required to make that a reality simply aren't being provided. and that's a conscious decision on the part of the government, on the part of the british state. reunions with children did take
1:25 pm
place, but for many — like heather burnley — it took decades. she says an apology from the state for actions taken by the state would now be welcome. that apology, to me, is vital. we did nothing wrong. you know, we all make mistakes. we shouldn't have to pay for them for the rest of our lives. duncan kennedy reporting. let's turn our attentions to the cricket. there have been some early wickets for england as the third ashes test gets under way at headingley. australia lead the series 2—0 after the controversial second test at lord's, meaning england must win all three remaining tests to reclaim the ashes. 0ur sports correspondentjoe wilson reports from headingley. headingley, the cricket has moved north and move on. well, australia's stumping at lord's is not easily
