material included what's apps and notebooks that were requested have all been handed over to the cabinet officeted form. that is the key phrase here, in full in unredacted form. mr johnson urges the cabinet to urgently disclose it to the inquiry. so they can pass it onto the inquiry end people in charge of the inquiry so they can go it and presumably they will decide what is relevant or not relevant. what messages are private and material to the inquiry and what art. the key point here is that boris johnson and what art. the key point here is that borisjohnson saying that actually, everything has been handed overin actually, everything has been handed over in full in unredacted form from his point of view. a little bit more from the statement saying, while mr johnson understands the governments position and does not seek to contradict it is perfectly happy for the inquiry to have access to this material in whatever form it requires. a bit of context they are as the cabinet office asked for this material for several months. and as the cabinet office asked for this materialfor several months. and

materials for months now and urge the cabinet office to now and urge the cabinet office to now hand overquiry. sources in the cabinet office dispute this account slightly. they say when went boris johnson was being represented by lawyers who were employed by the government they were looking over some of his diaries, what's that messages in notebooks. but when he decided to cut ties with them and be represented by other lawyers they say that the cabinet office lost access to some of that material, which is why they haven't had some of it before today. i think what this doesn't change is a separate standoff going on between the cabinet office and the government and the covid inquiry itself. the covid inquiry says that by tomorrow the government must hand over all unredacted material that it has asked for. the government has repeatedly argued that they don't think that will be appropriate because they don't want to hand over what they are lawyers are advising them are unambiguously irrelevant material. for example, this could be material. for example, this could be material about some priva

information was passed to police by the cabinet office.is being reported the referrals two police forces based on recently discovered information. they are investigating, no breach of the rules has been confirmed. going to our u.k. political correspondent. it has only broken in the last couple of hours. what are the details? >> the times with this report. boris johnson referred to the police forces regarding information about events that possibly were in breach of coronavirus regulations at downing street and at checkers. his country residence in buckinghamshire. what we know from a combination of the cabinet office and police and a spokesperson for mr. johnson himself, they have told us this evening. the information has come to light the process of preparing evidence and a defense for boris johnson in the public inquiry into the u.k. government's response to coronavirus. lawyers for mr. johnson paid for by the government were looking through his diaries. they raised concerns about several entries in his official diary in relation to event

the cabinet office is basically the engine of government.overnment department but it is responsible for doing a lot of the secretarial stuff, really. getting a lot of the paperwork done, getting a lot of the paperwork done, getting a lot of the legal stuff done. it is a big department headed by the deputy prime minister, oliver dowden. it does a lot of work in just making sure that the staff government needs to do is done. not necessarily policy but the kind of day—to—day running of things. that is why it is responsible for dealing with the covid inquiry. in terms of that inquiry, it is under way in the sensex gathering information for stop the big public are a few months off yet. —— in the sense that it is gathering information. trims? off yet. -- in the sense that it is gathering information.— off yet. -- in the sense that it is gathering information. now we go to the us. ron desantis is expected to announce he's running to be the republican candidate for president. he's currently the governor of florida. he's expected to make his public a

and that borisjohnson is now urging the cabinet office to hang that over to the inquiry. in short, i understand that there is some new material that the cabinet office has been given by borisjohnson this afternoon and that they now understand that all the material requested from them has been handed over to the cabinet office. i am still waiting to hear from the cabinet office if they now have all the material they had been engaging with boris johnson the material they had been engaging with borisjohnson over and whether they have all of the material the inquiry has requested of them. that being said, it does not mean that inquiry is not going to get all the information that it wants because separately to all of that there was a separate dispute going on between the cabinet office and between the inquiry itself because the inquiry has said it has the power to say what material it would like to see in the cabinet office and the government have argued that any material that they deem to be unambiguously irrelevant is not something that should be handed over to the inquiry b

now, that inquiry has written to the cabinet office, so that's a department of government, saying wetries from the former prime minister borisjohnson. we think that is important so we can establish exactly what went on around some of that decision making. now, the cabinet office had said, no, we think a lot of that material, in their words, is unambiguously irrelevant. i.e you don't need to see it, it's not necessary. it doesn't form part of any of the decisions that were made, so we don't think you should get it in full. this turned into a bit of a row. it was all meant to come to a head today at around lipm, when the cabinet office had a deadline to respond to that demand from the covid inquiry, otherwise the covid inquiry said we could take some legal action against you, government. now in fact what's happened is that deadline's been extended by two days, so it now sits on thursday at 4pm when the cabinet office now has to respond. but interestingly, what the covid inquiry is now also saying is that they want the cabinet office to set out whether or not they actually hold all of t

with the cabinet office and at war with the cabinet office and at war with the government headed by thee strength of feeling in the last few hours, this statement from boris johnson's office and it says it appears some within government have decided to make unfounded suggestions both to the police and the privileges committee and as you said, many will conclude that this has all the hallmarks of yet another politically motivated stitch up. i understand that borisjohnson is even considering suing the cabinet office. this is because his legal advice states that these events were lawful and his lawyers have told the cabinet office and the police that is theirjudgment. there is a suggestion that the cabinet office appears to have suggested in writing that the events were unlawful and if it can be proved the cabinet office said that i think you may well be finding that borisjohnson will be considering all his legal options. this all kicked off as you said when some entries in his official diary were queried by the cabinet office during a sort of opening exercise for the covid inquiry because

it was all meant to come to a head today at 4pm when the cabinet office had a deadline to respond tod inquiry, otherwise the inquiry said it could take legal action. now this deadline has been extended by two days, so it now sits on thursday at 4pm when the cabinet office has to respond. interestingly, what the covid inquiry is now saying additionally is they want the cabinet office to set out whether or not they hold all of this information, these diaries, notebooks that the former prime minister borisjohnson had. and if they don't have it, they want the cabinet office to set out why and publish all the correspondence they have with the former prime minister mrjohnson. as you say, we have had a response from mrjohnson's spokesperson. they say he has no objection to this information being handed over to the inquiry. he has had his own correspondence to the cabinet office saying he wasn't aware of any of the requests over this material but he goes on to say he has no objection to disclosing material. he has done so and will continue to do so. the decision to challenge whether or not t

there is a separate but related argument going on between the cabinet office and borisjohnson.ice said they didn't have his office said they didn't have his whatsapp messages and his notebooks. so the statement from the cabinet office saying they have handed over 0ffice saying they have handed over all the material in full. this is borisjohnson all the material in full. this is boris johnson really trying to all the material in full. this is borisjohnson really trying to put the ball in the government's court, trying to say he is not the obstacle but the wider picture remains, the government is at loggerheads with the covid inquiry about what material it is going to provide. tomorrow we will find out if ministers intend to continue to resist its demands.— ministers intend to continue to resist its demands. thank you very much. there's been more difficulty for rail passengers with another day of strikes. members of the train drivers' union aslef have been on strike today and will also walk on out saturday, affecting 15 rail operators. members of the rmt union, including train gu

he says the cabinet office have had access to this material but sources in the cabinet office say ise not had access to some of the material that inquiry wanted. there's been lots of back—and—forth but fundamentally, the government's position still stands that they do not think it would be appropriate to hand over this material so tomorrow they could be quite a big stand—off between inquiry and the government itself. let's take a look at artificial _ look at artificial intelligence. 0ne look at artificial intelligence. one of the pioneers of the technology says he feels lost about his life work. professoryosha he feels lost about his life work. professor yosha bengeo said he would have prioritise certain things if he had known it would not have progressed so quickly. it would not have progressed so ruickl . ., ., quickly. one of the founding godfather's _ quickly. one of the founding godfather's of _ quickly. one of the founding godfather's of ai _ quickly. one of the founding godfather's of ai says - quickly. one of the founding godfather's of ai says he - quickly. one of the foundi

separately there is a row going on between the cabinet office and boris johnson because the cabinet officeve mr johnson's whatsapp messages or notebooks. today borisjohnson's spokesperson insists it has handed everything over to them in full and not redacted. we understand extra material has been given to them before but mrjohnson insists that they have had access to that for several months, so a bit of finger pointing between borisjohnson and the government. borisjohnson is trying to put the ball in the government port, to pressure them, but the wider picture is the government at loggerheads with the public inquiry into the covid pandemic and tomorrow we'll find out whether ministers intend to still defy their request.— the time is 6.15. our top story this evening. the ukrainian children abducted to russia and their parents�* desperate struggle to bring them home. coming up... why british researchers are developing peas that don't actually taste like peas. also coming up... jailed for life, the ex—boyfriend who brutally murdered a woman after she ended their relationship. and counting the
