i wonder where the real view is for you and keir starmer of nato. the last election campaign, under jeremy corbyn, or is it the view now? there is a big change. we did have a commitment to nato in our last manifesto, but clearlyjeremy corbyn himself had a history in relation to nato, and i understand he is at an event tonight... plan, yes, stop the war event. where he is questioning nato, and i think it's dangerous, playing into the russian framing of this. let's be clear, nato is an alliance of countries that was set up after the second world war that really helped initiate and broadly maintain peace in europe, and it's a defensive alliance. it's incredibly dangerous to give the impression that nato is responsible for this aggression when it's not nato that is moving troops, it's vladimir putin that's moving troops, so of course it's a defensive alliance and we have to be really careful that we are not framing this in the way that vladimir putin wants and driving the division assists him and doesn't ultimately assist please. i want to talk to you a

savile that were made before sir keir was bundled away.savile. but it was worth saying that was in 2008— 09. sir keir had no part in that decision and it was only a couple of years later when sirjimmy died, jimmy savile died, and then all of the history of sexual abuse came out. at that point keir starmer apologised on behalf of the cps. this is what the northern ireland secretary said today. i think it is absolutely fair to draw a complete comparision between when somebody is saying as the head of an organisation you should take responsibility for that, then they need to take responsibility for the organisation they were head of, as well. keir starmer, to be fair, has done that and made the apology. the prime minister was making that comparison, which i think is a fair comparison. it does not excuse the kind of behaviour we saw from thugs last night. is brandon lewis by saying, sir keir made the apology and there was that inquiry. if you look, the prime minister has also made some apologies. if you look at his apologies. if you look at hi

and at the time keir starmer said...ut this is not, as the prime minister alleged, keir starmer failing to prosecutejimmy savile. indeed, the crown prosecution service has told the bbc: "there is no reference within the 2013 report to any involvement from the director of public prosecutions in the decision—making in the case." no known involvement at the time. no involvement detailed in the report. and, remember, borisjohnson said keir starmer had... spent most of his time prosecuting journalists and failing to prosecute jimmy savile! also on wednesday, tory mp tobias elwood called for mrjohnson to resign — and referenced the allegation. here we havejimmy savile mentioned in the very, very debate that's the response to the sue gray report. that's not showing the contrition i think the nation want to see. other tory mps were critical too. but on thursday, ministerjames cleverly continued the defence. keir starmer himself ex... so it's a smear? no, no. it's a smear. it's a criticism. not a smear, a criticism says james cle

keir starmer.sage last night, his tweet, was crocodile tears. they used to say crocodiles crying while they eat their prey. i am afraid i do not buy that line from the prime minister. second, it is not that he was not at parties, he was at parties. there were parties going on in his own flat. some people have come up with preposterous excuses like he was ambushed by a cake. the vast majority of people in this country, according to every opinion poll for weeks, think the prime minister has been taking them for fools because they did not get to go to funerals and hold the hands of loved ones when they died but the prime minister managed to have people invited round to parties. i am sorry, making a moral equation here is completely disingenuous. and in case anybody does not understand what i mean by that, i mean it is a lie, malice aforethought. a deliberate attempt to distract and using one of the most toxic things you can throw into the political debate in this country. i can understand why very dec

ros: keir starmer was the director of public prosecution for five years.d commission a report in 2013. the bbc reports that opportunities to prosecute savile were missed because prosecutors did not take the allegations seriously. he said i want to take the opportunity to apologize for the shortcomings in these cases. but this is not, as the prime minister alleged, failing to prosecute jimmy savile. cps told the bbc there is no reference in the report to any involvement in the decision-making in the process. no known involvement at the time, no involvement detailed in the report. remember, boris johnson said keir starmer had -- prime minister johnson: prosecute a journalist and failed to prosecute jimmy savile. ros: that is the reason munira mirza has given for resigning. it is a broader story now. our correspondent is in westminster. take us through the latter two resignations of the day first. >> these latest two just this evening, downing street confirming. one of them is dan rosenfeld. he was boris johnson's chief of staff. he is significant because he

there is the issue of that claim made by the prime minister later clarified but not retracted that keirrmer had spent his time as head of the prosecution service failing to prosecutejimmy savile. that has been unambiguously described as false, notjust as we heard there in our report, but across bbc news. tonight at 10pm: borisjohnson has has been called upon once again to withdraw for activations he again to withdraw for activations he made against keir starmer. there is evidence of the prime minister's allegation that keir starmer failed to prosecute savile. downing street has no intention of- street has no intention of apologising - for the prime minister's false claim that keir starmer failed to prosecute jimmy for sex offences. . others thought the status of boris johnson's claim was not as black—and—white as the bbc had suggested, arguing that as head of the prosecution service at the time that it failed to prosecute jimmy savile, starmer had some responsibility for that area. so is the prime minister claim actually false? we wanted to discuss all of this from someone from bbc news

let me go to keir simmons in moscow. keir, i think the -- and i wonder if the patriotic response that we're starting to see amongst ukrainians, if putin himself is helping to create this patriotic moment to essentially say what he said yesterday, right, basically saying, hey, we created ukraine, there is no ukraine without the russian empire, without the soviet empire, and he sort of rimmed this idea off that somehow he cared about a world order or cared about diplomacy. when he said that, that seemed to be a whole new level of focus of what his ambition really is now. >> reporter: it certainly appears that way, chuck. actually repeating an essay that he wrote towards the back half of last year expressing the same kind of historical revisionism really about what ukraine is and the connections to russia. the thing that president putin said today was impactful, important to note. and that was that he was asked by russian journalists to clarify this crucial question of whether the area of this donbas eastern ukraine region,

get well soon, says sir keir starmer.q khan says, the commitment her majesty has shown to country appears to be unwavering. wishing her a safe and speedy recovery from covid. lots of other messages. from various politicians and well—wishers on social media. we do know the queen received herfirst social media. we do know the queen received her first vaccination for covid back in 2021. the assumption is she has had a second and third dose since then. earlier i spoke tojim reed our health correspondent about the queen's positive test for covid. three doses of the vaccine are incredibly effective, reducing the chances of going into hospital by 80%. despite the fact the queen is 95 years old, she will have a lot of protection from the vaccine. another thing that was discussed at anti—viral medications. they are only starting to be used in the uk. there are two pills. the idea is you get them to people soon after they had tested positive, within three to five days. both pills you take over the course of five days. it is a cours

keir starmer is — a major player in europe. keir starmer is visiting _ a major player in europe. headquarters as well, to send a similar message that labour would be prepared to stand firm against russian aggression as well. but he hopes also to send a different message. things have changed sincejeremy corbyn�*s time in charge. the uk may not be the decider in what happens next on europe's edges. but its political leaders, both in their different ways, want to show the uk can lead. laura kuenssberg, bbc news. detectives from scotland yard are preparing to send out questionnaires to around 50 people suspected of attending lockdown parties in downing street. recipients will be expected to respond within seven days. here's our political correspondent damian grammaticus. this i think is a significant development. this is the metropolitan police special enquiry team who have said they have identified more than 50 individuals who they believe took part in those parties, events in downing street, in whitehall. they are each going to be sent a letter with a legal questionnaire, being tol

so, keir, a lot of people on the streets.there in moscow, and what about those who are close to vladimir putin? >> reporter: well, that's right, there have been a lot of people out on the streets, and we're now hearing tonight here in moscow that the total number of arrested in the past few days now exceeds 3,000. as you do rightly point out, it is great risk to protest here, so i think those pictures tell you something about the opposition to president putin's war in ukraine, but it doesn't tell you everything. there is a lot more going on below the surface, and in terms of close allies to president putin, i was listening to you talk to general m mccaffrey befe the break and there is one close ally of president putin that i believe is worth a brief focus on and that is a ukrainian oligarch and leader of the opposition in ukraine, and get this, katy. president putin is godfather to his daughter. now, that tells you some really important things. firstly, potentially, it tells you that president putin may be getting information

keir starmer. we your way. silence. keir starmer. we have to yourway. silence. act responsibly and they will do the right thing, testing and isolating if positive. what i can't understand is why the prime minister is taking away the tools that will help them to do that. free tests can't continue forever but if you are 2—1 up continue forever but if you are 2—1 up with ten minutes to go, you don't substitute for one of your best defenders. the prime minister is also removing self isolation support payments that allow many people to isolate and weakening sick pay. these are decisions that will hit the lowest paid and the most insecure work the hardest. including care workers who got us through the toughest parts of the pandemic. it is all very well advising workers to self—isolate, but that won't work unless all workers have security of knowing they can afford to do so. the labour leader sir keir starmer. next to him you could see the labour health spokesman wes streeting. he is with our political correspondent ian watson, who joins is with our political correspon

keir starmer did a good job.deserves absolute respect for that, but the prime minister has come out and clarified his remarks. would you have used that slur? the prime minister has clarified the remarks, and that is important. and what i will be doing is actually getting on with myjob, which is what i am doing today on world cancer day. does he still enjoy your support? of course he does, absolutely. sonia sodha is the chief leader writer at the observer. she was also a senior adviser to ed miliband when he was labour leader. it is friday afternoon, you paper comes out on sunday morning, is it too soon to write a leader? yes, i think it is. who knows where we will be tomorrow morning when i am writing the editorial for sunday. i think it is looking really bad for borisjohnson. it i think it is looking really bad for boris johnson._ i think it is looking really bad for boris johnson. it has since the end of last year— boris johnson. it has since the end of last year when _ boris johnson. it has since the end of la

keir had no individual involvement in the case.s happy to show a public split. being honest i wouldn't have said it and i'm glad that the prime minister clarified what he meant. who and i'm glad that the prime minister clarified what he meant.— and i'm glad that the prime minister clarified what he meant. who as well as grappling — clarified what he meant. who as well as grappling with _ clarified what he meant. who as well as grappling with the _ clarified what he meant. who as well as grappling with the economy - clarified what he meant. who as well as grappling with the economy is - as grappling with the economy is grappling with the government's reputation. he lives and works under the same roof where lockdown gatherings took place. for the record, chancellor, you knew nothing of any of these gatherings even when it happened outside that window, you knew nothing? figs it happened outside that window, you knew nothing? $5 i it happened outside that window, you knew nothing?— knew nothing? as i said, people think i'm looking _ kne

keir simmons, i've got you in moscow now. we watched some of this extraordinary meeting of vladimir putin and some of his visors today appearing to set the stage of whatever decisions he might make of these breakaway stages of ukraine. what can you tell us about the meeting and what you expect him to say tonight. >> it's really important to differentiate between what we know and what we do know. we do know that president putin at that security council meeting had advisor after advisor stand up and tell him whether they thought that region of donbas should be recognized by russia as independent of ukraine. at the end of that meeting president putin, highly choreographed, took an hour and a half and was broadcast on all the russian major channels. at the end of that president putin said i'm going to decide today. now we're seeing on russian television that he is preparing to make an announcement. so we assume that announcement is whether or not he recognizes this region of donbas and it looks highly likely given the open advice

minister borisjohnson has been facing more pressure to go through a false accusation he made against keirrmer in parliament. israel is conducting an inquiry into claims that spyware was used against public figures. the allegations relate to the israeli made pegasus hacking tool. now on bbc news, birmingham heartlands hospital has one of the busiest intensive care units in the region. we followed three nurses over the course of a night shift to find out what it's really like to be an intensive care nurse. no one dies alone in intensive care. it's me that sits there and holds your relative's hand. it's me that talks to them in their last few minutes. it is me that makes sure they're comfortable. no two days are the same. you don't know what you're going to walk into. our aim is to make patients better so they can go home to their families. covid has changed - intensive care completely. the demand for the service isjust extraordinary. - we need to look after ourselves to be the best nurses we possibly can be. we cry together, we feel our emotions together and i think that's so important. i d

there is no suggestion that when keir i faith it he could do more.that he came across thejimmy savile case, which is why it is widely taken to be untrue. the wider point by tobias ellwood is really that despite the apology, he has handed in this letter of no confidence, and that must be what should be worrying you. i’m that must be what should be worrying ou. �* , ,., y that must be what should be worrying ou. �* , ,., , ., , that must be what should be worrying ou.�* ,_ ., you. i'm very sorry he has done this, you. i'm very sorry he has done this. but _ you. i'm very sorry he has done this. but it _ you. i'm very sorry he has done this, but it doesn't _ you. i'm very sorry he has done this, but it doesn't take - you. i'm very sorry he has done this, but it doesn't take away . you. i'm very sorry he has done i this, but it doesn't take away from the fact that i, and i know my colleagues, have deep confidence in the prime minister to get on with the prime minister to get on with the important work of levelling up opportunities, as this country bounces

so keir, what is it like there?: katy, we just have a little bit of breaking news just in the past hour or so, i guess, that it does now appear to be agreement among european countries and support from the u.s. for removing russia from the s.w.i.f.t. payment system, at the least partially. it looks as if the plan is to remove the banks that have been sanctioned, the russian banks that have been sanctioned from the s.w.i.f.t. system. you can imagine that there was a fair amount of negotiation. just to give you a picture, katy, america does about $35 billion worth of trade with russia. in comparison, europe does about $250 billion worth of trade with russia. so it was important for the europeans. but that appears to have been a decision. and it does appear to be a decision that has really frightened people, businesses here in moscow, for example. we heard one report of businesses trying to get payments before this happened. so hotels even calling guests to say could you pay now because of the fear of whether payments
