following this story — hejoins me live.. first of all, or remind us what this is about and what this ruling now means? , , . ., ., means? this is a argument that blew between the — means? this is a argument that blew between the official _ means? this is a argument that blew between the official coronavirus - between the official coronavirus inquiry now under way at looking into the governments handling of the pandemic, and the government itself where the inquiry chair had ecstasy the whatsapp messages exchanged between boris johnson the whatsapp messages exchanged between borisjohnson and other senior officials. a few dozen of them. so, matt hancock was one of them, the senior medical figures involved in handling the pandemic, senior civil servants, and she wanted to see all of those whatsapp messages and barsjohnson�*s personal handwritten diaries, his government diary, all of that communication. the government came back and said it wanted to redact things and put a black panther stuff. she said it was

in her power to demand that, they try to challenge it, took it to court, and have competency hopefully lost here. which one surprise many legal observers watching, wondering how strong the governments argument was. the twojudges how strong the governments argument was. the two judges at the high court said the government cannot hold withhold information, it cannot argue she's acting irrationally, can argue she's acting irrationally, can argue the information she wants might be irrelevant because that's for baroness hatate to decide to stop so, now the government said it will comply with the ruling and one appeal against it, the chair inquiry said they must hand over all information by 4pm on monday. haw information by 4pm on monday. how widesread information by 4pm on monday. how widespread do we think this means the inquiry will go? the court said they can fish for information as well, so they might not know what they want but can spread the net far and wide now? she they want but can spread the net far and wide now?— they want but can spread the net far and wide now? she has also indicated that. that and wide now? she has also indicated that- that was —

of things are wants to look at and think she will get access to, these messages. the government can seek to try to block individual, specific, pieces of information but that could end up in another legal wrangling, at the minute it says it intends to comply. at the minute it says it intends to coml . ., , comply. though the inquiry will get access to the _ comply. though the inquiry will get access to the information, - comply. though the inquiry will get access to the information, the - access to the information, the public wants because they still have the ability directed, one day? that is the power _ the ability directed, one day? that is the power that _ the ability directed, one day? trust is the power that remains with burness helots, if she thinks it's irrelevant she was handed back, if she thinks it's useful to her inquiry she will want to her inquiry she wants included. she could seek to try to keep some things redacted but i think her practice in the past during other inquiries, she has been open about, and seen it as a important part of her function, to ensure that relevant information is put in the public domain so people can see, and crucially, she said at
5:35 pm
the outset of the inquiry, learned lessons from this so in a future pandemic, more lives can be saved. she pointed out at the beginning that hundreds of thousands of lives were affected and loss during this and that something the government should look to change in the future pandemic. should look to change in the future andemic. . ~ should look to change in the future andemic. ., ~ , ., the former conservative mp and government whip chris pincher should be suspended from parliament for eight weeks — that's the recommendation of the committee that deals with complaints about mps' behaviour. the standards committee upheld allegations that chris pincher groped two people at a private members club in 2020, describing his behaviour as completely inappropriate. if the suspension is agreed by mps there's likely to be be a by—election in his constituency. borisjohnson�*s handling complaints against mr pincher 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, borisjohnson�*s handling of groping allegations against his deputy chief whip, chris pincher, led to his
5:36 pm
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 parliament's standards watchdog says. the report says mr pincher was intoxicated at the time. it adds that his behaviour was witnessed by at least one other person at 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
5:37 pm
damaged the reputation of all mps and the house of commons, something mr pincher denies. but the report says he admitted it damaged his own reputation and that of the government and apologised to the individuals involved. the report recommends an eight—week suspension from the house of commons. the honourable member concerned has ten days to appeal. and we must let due process run its course. but she knows that we take these matters incredibly seriously. if mps approve this suspension after the appeal period, this could trigger a by—election in his midlands seat of tamworth. some of his constituents say he should resign now. if he can't do the job, he needs to resign, doesn't he? i have voted for him i many times in the past but he won't get my vote again. it's a view echoed by opposition parties. he shouldn't still be an mp in the conservative party and they are a disgrace for letting it continue. that was part of the reason why
5:38 pm
borisjohnson had to go. yeah, but they tried to defend it. they need to clean up their act. his reputation damaged, the end of his parliamentary career potentially accelerated. the conservative party now wait to see if another by—election challenges on the horizon. some breaking news coming to the bbc, concern another strike by the rmt union, they are launching a week of industrial action on the london underground from july 23 until friday 28 ofjuly, they are in a row over pension, job cuts, and he attacks on working conditions. they have been in dispute for sometime and they say 600 jobs are scheduled to be asked and they are going on strike a week. their courts and the

5:41 pm
young people on waiting lists for gender identity services and matters on social media. the case brought by mermaids is about whether the charity commission was right to register as you be alliance and they also had to question whether lgb islands should remain a charity. what are the implications of this? the twojudgements on what are the implications of this? the two judgements on the pollens panel, said mermaids did not have the right to bring the case and challenge in the first place, so it was dismissed. they said that even though organisations disagree with it each other on the sensitive matters, it's not a reason to have legal standing. matters, it's not a reason to have legalstanding. it's matters, it's not a reason to have legal standing. it's what they did two judges legal standing. it's what they did twojudges didn't make legal standing. it's what they did two judges didn't make a decision on what was as you be alliance chart status which all parties involved ask them to do. they said the two judges weren't in agreement with each other on that. the charities
5:42 pm
commissions made comments without all of it saying they welcomed the decision by the court today but it's not their role to regulate the debate on sensitive aces and they did apply when registering as you be alliance and ultimately charities must deliver for the public benefit and demonising those you think differently is not acceptable behaviour from any charity. thank ou for behaviour from any charity. thank you for taking _ behaviour from any charity. thank you for taking us _ behaviour from any charity. thank you for taking us through - behaviour from any charity. thank you for taking us through that. . four retired metropolitan police officers who led the first investigation into stephen lawrence's murder won't face criminal prosecution. the 18—year—old was killed in a racially motivated attack in east london in 1993. only two men have ever been convicted of his murder, despite detectives believing he was attacked by a large group. the crown prosecution service had been considering whether failures in the early stages of probe were so serious they amounted to misconduct in a public office. live now to dal babu, who is a journalist and former police superintendent. thank you for being with us. what's
5:43 pm
your reaction to this decision? has your reaction to this decision? as ou your reaction to this decision? is you said, this was a most notorious case, probably the most significant case, probably the most significant case in british police in history because it change the way police operate and deal with murders. it's also change the law on double jeopardy, so you could go back and retry someone if new evidence was found. it fundamentally change the law briefly. we are talking about something that happened 30 years ago and i'm afraid the reports were brutally honest. i don't think the if i think the families will be disappointed that things did not pan out well. some of the perpetrators were never brought to justice. this were never brought to 'ustice. this is about the —
5:44 pm
were never brought tojustice. this is about the failings of four police officers involved in that investigation. yesterday at the new head of the mets admitted that early mistakes in the investigations mean it may never be solved, he would reopen it if things came to light but do you think that's it and for this investigation and those others who may be out there who were involved in that racist murder? i don't think it's the end. i think of any new evidence comes to light with all these advancements in forensics, the suspects will be brought to justice. i think that will happen. i think in policing, when you have a murder, there is a crucial. , this first few hours are absolutely important for getting evidence, none of that was done. it was just one level of incompetence after another and i think the family will be extremely disappointed, as with be

as the light disappears, people don't focus on fixing the recommendations. the recommendations are essentially the same from 1981 to 2003, we have to have the police deliver on these recommendations. thank you dal babu for being with us. so keir starmer has set out plans to reform the academic education system, smashing what he calls the glass ceiling. his speech was briefly interrupted by claimant purchasers. he said it would improve peoples communication skills and tackle the snobbery around vocational training. joining me live arejo blanden, professor of economics at the university of surrey who's a researcher on social mobility — and saeed atcha, ceo of youth leads uk and a former member of the social mobility commission, which advises the government. welcome to you both. great tabby in the programme. if i can start with

5:51 pm
the level they need to do what in the labour market. some young people, especially girls, are not being educated in the subjects that would have higher returns in the modern workplace, so i think it's a step in the right direction.- step in the right direction. saeed atcha ou step in the right direction. saeed atcha you are — step in the right direction. saeed atcha you are talking _ step in the right direction. saeed atcha you are talking there - step in the right direction. saeed| atcha you are talking there about this idea of soft skills and the promise to give vocational and academic learning equal status, there have been a shift recently. i know lots of friends with kids who have not gone to university and do other things inside and try to learn the soft skills, so there has been a shift recently, has in their customer there has and there needs to be a focus on that shift. taste customer there has and there needs to be a focus on that shift.— to be a focus on that shift. we need to see more — to be a focus on that shift. we need to see more degree _ to be a focus on that shift. we need to see more degree apprenticeshipl to see more degree apprenticeship where _ to see more degree apprenticeship where the — to see more degree apprenticeship where the public and private sector do project —based learning. you're working _ do project —based learning. you're working as — do project —based learning. you're working as your learning and earning _ working as your learning and earning. just two thirds of people in the _ earning. just two thirds of people in the manchester where i am, don't meet _ in the manchester where i am, don't meet the _ in the manchester where i am, don't meet the english baccalaureate at gcs he _ meet the english baccalaureate at gcs he level and we run the risk of

differences start when children are young and you can see differences in the amount of work children have at age three, depending on their social background. we need action on the way through children's lives to make sure they're not living in poverty, they have access to high—quality nursery care, and then good teachers and schools. teacher recruitment is and schools. teacher recruitment is a huge issue at the moment so hopefully we'll see some movement on that as we get more idea of what the opposition is planning. he that as we get more idea of what the opposition is planning.— opposition is planning. he did speak about that that _ opposition is planning. he did speak about that that you _ opposition is planning. he did speak about that that you would _ opposition is planning. he did speak about that that you would give - opposition is planning. he did speak about that that you would give a - about that that you would give a financial incentive to give teachers to stay, teachers leaving at the record rates, but he didn't commit to the pier as many would like. absolutely. what do you think they should do? it is absolutely. what do you think they should do? , , , . absolutely. what do you think they should do? , , ' . ., should do? it is very difficult and it would be _ should do? it is very difficult and it would be very _ should do? it is very difficult and it would be very difficult - should do? it is very difficult and it would be very difficult for - it would be very difficult for him to do big moves on many of these things in the current fiscal climate. hopefully we will see some moves in this direction and hopefully a bit more positivity about all of education which should

5:56 pm
hello there. temperatures have been a little bit below average for the first week ofjuly. however, things are set to get a lot hotter as we look at the forecast for tomorrow. more on that in a second. today, many of us have had dry weather with some spells of sunshine and some showers, though, for scotland and some heavy rain in northern ireland. all tied in with this thick cloud you can see on the satellite picture, and weather fronts that have been bringing some heavy rain to the northwest. well, that's being caused by this area of low pressure. it's on friday, as that low swings back out into the north atlantic, that we start to get these southerly winds moving in, and it's that boosts our temperatures. so a big jump in heat tomorrow with highs getting up to 29 degrees celsius in the hottest parts of the country. now, before we see that heat arrive overnight tonight, we've got some rain. the rain turning heavy for a time as it pushes northwards across scotland. then the rain probably becomes a little bit lighter and patchy, at least for a time, for scotland and for northern ireland. a little bit of rain for a time across north west england. 0therwise, england and wales looking largely dry with some clear spells.
5:57 pm
it will be a warmer night than we've seen over recent nights. for friday, then, we've got the remnants of that weather system bringing some rain to northern ireland and scotland, starting the day. that will clear away and the weather will turn brighter as we head into the afternoon. it's across england and wales that will have sunshine really from dawn till dusk. and it's across england, wales, that we'll see the highest temperatures, widely around 26 for east wales, the midlands, northern england, but as high as 29 degrees celsius around london and the south east of england. and it does mean we could see the highest temperature of the whole of the wimbledon championship, potentially, during friday, with temperatures certainly getting into the high 20s here. 0n into the weekend's forecast, we'll keep the warm weather going, but there's a risk of some thundery showers initially working into the west, and then as a plume of moisture gets pulled in from europe, we might well see storms breaking out ahead across parts of eastern england, eastern scotland. want to see the showers could be torrential, but at the same time, there will be some areas that dodged the downpours altogether and stay dry. temperatures still on the warm side for eastern england. could see temperatures into the mid 20s for northern scotland. for sunday, again, it's a day of sunshine and showers, but there could be some more
5:58 pm
organised clumps of rain moving up from the continent. a bit of uncertainty about where that might be, but it could be that we see some torrential rain across eastern areas of england. if that happens, we could see, well, about half a month's worth of rainfall in just a few hours. so there's a risk of seeing some localised flooding, but a bit of uncertaintyjust yet. if that happens, we could see, well, about half a month's worth

at six: a child is killed at a school in wimbledon after a car ploughs through a fence. 10 people were taken to hospital after the crash that happened while an event for the children was taking place outside on their last day of term. very sadly, one of the children, an eight—year—old girl, died at the scene. our thoughts are with her family at this incredibly difficult time.
