already since september and it is fair to say 2024 would possibly be one of the wettest yet. fair to say 2024 would possibly be one of the wettest yet. tomos, thank ou ve one of the wettest yet. tomos, thank you very much- the time is quarter past one. our top story this afternoon: hundreds escape this blaze on a passengerjet at tokyo s main airport, but five people are killed after a collision with a coastguard aircraft. and coming up, the collosalfossil of a sea monster that lived 150 million years ago, goes on display. and coming up on bbc news, rafa nadal is back. after nearly a year away from tennis, he s marked his return to singles action with a win over dominic thiem at the brisbane international. last month, an inquest found that an 0fsted school inspection had contributed to the death of headteacher ruth perry, who took her own life. her family have called
20th ofjune, 2022. they have gone up 20th ofjune, 2022. they have gone up considerably over time. they now stand at 8a,000. more than the legacy backlog was when rishi sunak claims to have gotten rid of it. there is no timescale for dealing with this at the moment. last month, an inquest found that an 0fsted school inspection had contributed to the death of headteacher ruth perry, who took her own life. her family have called for root and branch reform. well, now the new chief inspector says the inspection process needs to be far more empathetic . in his first interview since taking charge of 0fsted, sir martyn 0liver said lessons must be learned. 0ur education editor branwen jeffreys reports. hisjob matters for children and parents. the new boss of 0fsted will oversee inspections, including schools. schools facing the challenges left by the covid lockdowns.
and some of its credibility. and that s important, because parents rely on 0fsted. he s got a tough reputation, but some change can only be made by government. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. for more on this i spoke with the president of the national association of head teachers, simon kidwell, and started by asking him for his reaction to the comments made by sir martyn 0liver. the comments he has made today is encouraging, that he wants to learn lessons from the tragedy that happened and also the reports we are getting from our members about the impact that inspections have on their mental health. what kind of things to your members say they face when inspections happen? they report mixed things but they say the inspections are brutal, that is a word they use, they say this is the hardest
