"here he is", indeed, trainer bob baffert parades his long—shot kentucky derby record—breaking winner, medina spirit, describing this latest twist as the biggest gut punch in racing for something he claims he didn't do. all i can tell you is that, um, betamethasone, even though it is an allowed drug, therapeutic medication, i — we did not give it, my veterinarian, nobody here. after winning the prestigious race, medina spirit was found to have double the legal limit of a banned steroid that's injected intojoints to reduce pain and swelling. steroids are often given to mask an injury, as well as to have a horse run faster than it otherwise would, risking the safety of both horse and rider. medina spirit's high—profile trainer has paid fines before. this latest episode has left him licking his wounds. there is definitely something wrong. why is it happening, you know, to me? you know, there's problems in racing but it's not bob baffert. at stake is both the derby title and winnings. the race course has banned bob baffert from entering any more horses while the kentucky horse racing commission investigates. if a second sample confirms the infringement, the runner—up, mandaloun, will be declared the winner instead, barring an appeal, which could reportedly take years. medina spirit would then become only the third winner stripped of the title in the derby's 147—race history. this high—profile dispute also proving another hurdle for america's horse racing organisers, jockeying to get on the front foot over a drugs problem still saddling the sport. mark lobel, bbc news. earlier i spoke to kaitlin free, a horse racing analyst, from cincinnati in ohio. she told me why the us has such a big issue with doping in horse racing. the problem with horseracing over in the united states is there's no central governing body to really regulate this. it;s kind of up to the tracks and up the state jurisdictions to dole out punishments, decide what is right and what is wrong. this particular drug that was traced, it was a very small amount and it was a legal substance that is able to be given to the horse up to 1a days prior to the race, and unfortunately the withdrawal time, either it was outside of the window or there was maybe a crossnhancing drug but it's still a banned race day substance nonetheless, so the test was positive and unfortunately when it comes to races the calibre of kentucky derby, rules a re rules. quite rightly. and bob baffert, he's a legend, he's right at the top of his game, he's getting stronger by the day, he's a darling to many. probably wins a lot of people a lot of bets as well. but how significant is it if he gets caught on issues of — i'm going to say doping again — but it's not the first time that his horses have been seen to have various different medicines they shouldn't have. 0h, absolutely. it's a huge deal. this is a very big story. he's had a couple of positives in the past. recently, as of yet, especially with a couple of other horses that have ran in kentucky, but for this to be on the kentucky derby, for it to be bob baffert, the most recent trainer to win the last two triple crowns, it's a very big deal and it's really rocked the racing community. i should point out, he has ma

"what else was i supposed to do," alexander lukashenko said today. but in the same breath, he also referred to roman protasevich and his girlfriend who were both detained, of course, when that flight was diverted to minsk. he talked about them as "agents of the west", claiming they were backed by the west to damage, to harm belarus. and he painted the west essentially as at war with belarus — a "hybrid

of cars and vans considered �*high polluting' warned they'll be charged to enter the city centre. it's all part of plans to tackle high levels of pollution, but it's not been welcomed by everyone, as phil mackie reports. birmingham from above. and everything you can see would be part of the city's clean air zone. that is from the beginning of next month. older, more polluting vehicles will be charged to enter. it will cost £8 per day for cars and vans, £50 for coaches and lorries. if your vehicle was bought before september 2015, you will probably be charged. this marks the boundary of the clean air zone. as long as you stand or on that side, you're 0k. but if you come into the city centre, you will be liable for up to £8 a day if your vehicle is too old. leah wood has severe asthma. she has been better during the pandemic, because there has been less traffic. i am hoping it's a real success, so they will widen it and do more campaigns. we do a lot of cycling, don't we? we only have one car. my husband cycles. we cycle to school today. we want to try our best as a family to contribute the best we can. but she is in a minority. most people, when asked, are against the clean air zone. this florist thinks it's a good idea in principle, but after losing most of the regular business during the pandemic, she will have to replace her two delivery vans which are four weeks too old. we have two good vehicles, but we have to get rid of them. that is a £35,000, maybe £40,000 cost. at the moment, just after the pandemic, we cannot afford it. another potential problem is the way people a choice. fees will run from midnight to midnight, so if you want to come into the city for a night out, you may have to pay twice. the night—time economy is really suffering. there is a fear people will be put off from coming out. a lot of our staff are students and do drive. they drive older cars. we have entertainment on, and djs and live musicians, and they couldn't use public transport. there are exemptions. if you earn less than £30,000 per year, you won't have to pay. there is a scrappage scheme for people trading in older vehicles. we have a public health crisis where hundreds of people are dying prematurely because of illegal and unsafe levels of air quality. we have to introduce this caz to save those lives. there is a lot of opposition to this in birmingham. what do you say to people who object to it? i get that. 75% of the people that will drive into the clean air zone today would not be impacted at all. they are driving compliant vehicles. traffic is back to 90% of pre—pandemic levels in the city. it is hoped the clean air zone will mean it is never as bad as it was before. phil mackie, bbc news, birmingham. measuring the amount of squashed bugs on your car after a journey may be able to help scientists better understand insect populations in the uk. a new app is asking the public to gather the information to identify where certain species are thriving and where others are in decline. here's our chief environment correspondent, justin rowlatt. insect—ageddon is how the global decline in insect populations has been described by some scientists. one case study in germany suggested there had been a 75% decrease in numbers over 27 years. take the humble housefly. you may not like them, but like many insects, they're one of the foundations of the whole food chain. if we lose them, we will lose lots of other species too. but there is actually very little data for many insect groups and species, even here in the uk, which is where this new app comes in. the hope is that in the hands of a small army of citizen scientists it will generate more accurate figures for insect populations. it's simple to use. you clean your number plate before you go on a journey, then when you arrive at your destination you use the app to photograph the bugs squashed on a section of it, using a splat—ometer grid you get when you download the app. the results? they become part of the nationwide survey. justin rowlatt, bbc news. the oscars have been delayed for a second year running, with the date for the 2022 ceremony being pushed back by a month, because of delays in releasing films due to the pandemic. this year's ceremony was held at various locations, including union station in los angeles. but next year's will be held at its usual location, the dolby theatre in los angeles. organisers also said that films released on streaming services would again qualify for consideration. the event will take place on march 27th. now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah keith lucas. hello, there. as we head through the final few days of may, things are going to turn warmer. much of the month of may has been cool and it has certainly been quite a wet month, too. these are the highest temperatures we have seen so far this year. england, 24.5. now, that was way back in march. april and may have been cool months, but this weekend, eventually, we are starting to see those temperatures returning to something a little bit closer to average or even a little bit above as well, so up to the low 20s for many of us through the bank holiday weekend. so some optimism in the forecast, but we have got a weather front that is bringing a bit of rain today to western parts of the uk, so light, patchy rain mainly towards the west. it is cloudier today than yesterday, but there will be some sunshine for parts of scotland and eastern england as well through the course of the day. so patchy rain continuing for western england, wales, northern ireland and south—west scotland. one or two isolated showers further east, but most places avoiding them. temperatures in the warmest spots, 19, possibly 20 degrees, but a bit cooler under the cloud in the west, and for the likes of aberdeen, where we have got a bit of low cloud that is lingering for eastern scotland and north—east england as well. overnight, in the west, under the cloud, temperatures are ten or 11 degrees, but under the clearer skies towards the east, seven or eight celsius first thing saturday morning. now, what about the bank holiday weekend? well, things are looking increasingly sunny and those temperatures are going to be on the up too. so we may well start on a bit of a cloudy note first thing saturday, particularly around some of these north sea coasts, but the cloud in the west will thin and break, so plenty of spells of sunshine, just one or two sharp showers developing through the spine of britain, i think, through the day. temperatures up to about 20 degrees for many of us, just a bit cooler across the north of scotland, particularly for the northern isle. into sunday and widespread blue sky and sunshine with light winds too. watch out for some high or very high levels of uv. the sun is particularly strong this time of year. temperatures by sunday 20 to 23 degrees, a little bit cooler around some coasts. heading through sunday and on into bank holiday monday, here is the high pressure that is going to be driving our weather. not many isobars on the chart, some fairly light winds. a weather front trying to push into the far north—west, but it looks like it should remain out at sea. so, again, bank holiday monday, dry, fine, light winds, sunshine and it is looking pretty warm, with top temperatures up to about 23, possibly 24 celsius. bye— bye. this is bbc news. the headlines: as cases of the indian variant of coronavirus double in a week, ministers consider the further easing of restrictions due next month. there's nothing in the data that will delay the date but we've said we're always reviewing the data and will come to a final conclusion on whether to reopen on the 21st ofjune onjune the 14th.

campaigning of england footballer marcus rashford. the government is keeping a close eye on the rise in coronavirus cases driven by the indian variant. data from public health england shows there are now almost 7000 cases of the indian variant in the uk. that's doubled in a week. up to three quarters of new covid cases could be linked to the new variant. hospital admissions with covid are also rising in some places, albeit from a very low level. there are concerns the increase in infections could delay plans to lift all restrictions in england onjune the 21st. james reynolds has the latest. in bolton, the race between the vaccine and the variant is fought at the pace of an average british queue. in recent weeks, up to several thousand people a day have waited patiently for their turn to be jabbed. in this town, the indian variant is hitting those who haven't been vaccinated. the number of cases of the indian variant in england has more than doubled since last week, rising to almost 7000. according to the health secretary, up to three quarters of new uk covid cases could be linked to the variant. the worst—affected areas in england continue to be bolton, bedford and blackburn with darwen. seven other areas in england each have more than 100 confirmed cases of the variant. the critical thing to watch is the link from the number of cases to how many people end up in hospital. the increase in cases remains focused in hotspots and we're doing all we can to tackle this variant wherever it flares up. the prime minister said we may need to wait for the lifting of all covid restrictions, but he added that there was nothing currently in the data from england to suggest that the easing couldn't go ahead as planned. the next two weeks then may be crucial. a decision is expected in mid—june. james reynolds, bbc news. dr deepti gurdasani is a clinical epidemiologist at queen mary university of london. good afternoon. much talk, then, but quite what the government

distraction because it is very clear that the data now suggest we can't go ahead with unlocking. but the problem is that we are having experience arises in cases as well as rices and hospitalisations to a smaller extent, which we know will gather pace as the number of cases increases right now, and that is before the full impact of even the opening of the 17th of may is felt. so we are in a public health crisis right now because that is not as localised as suggested, because there are outbreaks in north west in london and we are seeing many places and that has been reflected in the data. this is transmitting to increase hospitalisations, unlike suggestions that the current level of vaccinations is going to break this chain, it is not. sage has told us very clearly that at this current rate of opening where heading towards a wave that is likely at the same level as january or even higher. that is the data is current, so it's very puzzling the prime minister is saying the data doesn't

the same, one in 1120 people in england had covid—19 in the latest week and previously, that was won in 1110, so it is occurring very, very slightly less in england. is that that much need for alarm? there is, and my concern over this data recently has been they don't present their estimates and are show declines in rates in scotland although we clearly know their expansion arises not only in cases but in hospitalisations in scotland so we know it is not a trick of testing, it is actually happening. so i'm not sure what the office of national statistics data is not reflecting that, when

the deaths of care home residents in the pandemic. it comes after the prime minister's former advisor dominic cummings accused him of lying in late march 2020 about care home residents being tested for coronavirus before leaving hospital. but mr hancock says the allegations are unsubstantiated and untrue. mr hancock says ministers worked as hard as they could to place a protective shield around care homes. nadra ahmed is the head of the national care association and disputes that claim, she was on question time last night absolutely not. it's absolute rubbish. there was no shield around. i think that was an utterance that came about in a form of embarrassment, perhaps, because nothing had been done for social care. well, it's an utterance that he's repeated a number of times, nadra. i mean, do you think... do you think... a number of people have said this, but i'm just wondering, do you think he should resign, then? i don't think it's a resigning matter, and it's not for me to decide. i think it's about ensuring that we talk about the issues, rather than think about uttering things that are untrue. that is not true. there was no protective shield. we know that. we were working the floor. if there had been a protective shield, there would have been a plan to support the most vulnerable people, the people that we look after. earlier, i spoke to our political correspondent ben wright. i started by asking him to tell us more about how the health secretary had defended himself. unsubstantiated allegations around honesty are not true, he said. it was a very broad denial to a very large number of specific allegations that dominic cummings made at that extraordinary select committee appearance. clearly, the one that is potentially most wounding to matt hancock, and upsetting, i think, to so many relatives of people whose friends or relatives died in care homes, is the suggestion that he was not entirely truthful when he made a promise to the prime minister at a meeting in number 10 that people going from hospitals to care homes would be tested. he was pressed on that during a difficult press conference yesterday for the health secretary. he said that his recollection of events was that he was committed to delivering that testing when we could. he then went away to build that testing capacity. i don't think it was the strongest rebuttal and questions will continue to follow him for some time, perhaps even until we have the full public inquiry, which is not going to happen until next spring, according to the government. in the meantime, the government has a decision to make very soon about whether to relax restrictions completely at the end ofjune, the 21st ofjune in england, that is the final date in the road map. there is clearly doubt about that. borisjohnson said yesterday that we would have to wait a bit longer to consider the data before that decision could be made. this morning, the business secretary kwasi kwarteng said this. we've been very clear that we will be looking at the scientific data before we rush to any conclusions. we've said that, as far as i can see, there is nothing in the data that will delay the date but we we are always reviewing the data and come to a final conclusion on whether to reopen on the 215t ofjune onjune the 14th. ministers have always said they will be cautious when looking at the data. and this is the link they're trying to understand at the moment, the fact that infections are rising, the indian variant is seeing something of a surge in parts of the country, but hospitalisations remain very flat, and that's the relationship they're trying to understand. but i think we will not know, even for perhaps a couple of weeks yet, what decision will be made on that really key date, june the 21st. surgeons are calling for specialist hubs to be set up in england to help tackle what they call the colossal backlog of nonurgent operations that have been postponed because of the pandemic. in march, around 5 million patients were waiting for surgery, that's the highest number since records began. but the government says it's working to accelerate the recovery of services. our health correspondent laura foster reports. when the pandemic began, hospital trusts had to cancel nonurgent surgeries, such as hip and knee replacements, so there were enough staff and resources to look after patients with covid—19. but since then, waiting times and lists have only grown. 14 months on from the first lockdown, latest figures show almost 5 million people are on the waiting list. more than 400,000 of them have been waiting for more than a year. well, these are the worst waiting time figures ever recorded, and we all understand that stuff had to be put on hold whilst there was the pandemic. but now the pandemic is beginning to recede, we need a serious approach to getting into this backlog. the college says the answer is to spend £1 billion over the next five years and to carry out operations not at local hospitals, but at dedicated hubs. that way, these hubs would still function even if there was another wave of covid, or indeed another pandemic. the college argues people are willing to travel further if it means surgeries happen sooner. the russian president, vladimir putin, and the belarusian leader, alexander lukashenko, are due to meet later amid growing tensions with the eu over the interception of a ryanair flight on sunday. the aircraft was forced to land in minsk and an exiled opposition journalist and his girlfriend who were on board were arrested. several airlines are avoiding belarusian airspace in protest. mark lobel reports. every day since roman protasevich's arrest in minsk is agony for his parents — they're pleading for anyone to help free their hero. translation: i want you to hear my cry, the cry of my soul, - so you can understand how difficult it is for us right now. then, a message for her son. stay strong, son, stay strong. we will love you and we will get you out. translation: we have no idea where our son is. i we still can't confirm his location. president lukashenko boasts he's captured a terrorist. roman's parents say their son was just speaking the truth. he helped broadcast protests like these, following a disputed election, using a dissident belarusian media network on the social media platform telegram. the media network's poland—based co—founder believes the stakes for the opposition could not be higher. translation: repressions continue in belarus. - last week, a political prisoner died in prison. yesterday, we found out that another person who was politically persecuted died. after belarusian security boarded roman's diverted flight to capture him, eu and uk leaders closed off airspace in retaliation, but there are fears those flight bans could hamper dissidents wishing to flee belarus. we demand the land borders of belarus to be opened for the free movement for belarusian citizens, since the regime cannot be allowed to turn the country into prison for nine million people. the eu says personal sanctions on senior belarusians are almost ready, alongside further economic ones. in retaliation, belarus warns europe to expect a wave of drugs and migrants crossingregistered under the daily definition to 7668. as always, i want to convey my heartfelt condolences to everybody who has lost someone as a result of the pandemic. let me also briefly update on the vaccination programme, i will slow down slightly here for the benefit of the signers, because there are some big numbers involved in this update. as of this morning, 3,196,051 people have received a first dose of the vaccine. that is an increase since yesterday of 21,244. in addition, 28,721 people got a second dose of the vaccine yesterday and that brings the total number of second doses now to 1,971,000 six. so, we continue now to make very good progress in the vaccination programme. i turn now to an overview of the current national situation, and then expend a decision at we've are reached in relation to glasgow for this week but also to give the city an indication of what we hope is the direction of travel. now, in the interest of giving as frank and balanced an assessment as possible, wh

aerial view there were red crosses painted on top of the hospital and we always laughed and that was something that the geneva convention had put you know that you always had a red cross in your hospital. well, that was just like mortar practice, you know, it was like, let's see if we can hit the red cross but i i will tell you that there was no hospital in vietnam at all. that was not in the battlefield area. there was never anything being you know an hour away from where they were injured the the dust off pilots when they would bring our patients in it would be anywhere from two minutes to 20 minutes till they could get us get their wounded to the hospital which is phenomenal and that didn't happen in world war i or world war ii it was the first time ever. and the one statistic i read was 95% of the soldiers that were wounded that made it to the hospital lived. now what their lifestyle was like was a different story, but the fact that they were so readily gotten to to the hospital was incredible. the the sleeping quarters were as i said, they were made out of wood. they had sandbags in front of them. there were no windows in it. there was a joint air conditioning ve
