Shes learned from school, something theyve been talking about, then shell teach me. And a 24 year old student from glasgow survives the black chair, becoming the youngest ever winner of mastermind. The Prime Minister is coming under increasing pressure after several allegations over his personal conduct in office. Today there are renewed questions, over who paid For the redecoration of his Downing Street flat. A spokesman has again declined to say whether Boris Johnson received a loan from the Conservative Party to cover the costs, but insisted he has fully complied with all guidance. The Prime Minister chaired a Cabinet Meeting this morning as he attempted to shift the focus away from personal controversies. Heres our political correspondent, helen catt. The government is keen to dismiss a number of rows, including how borisjohnson funded a revamp of his home in Downing Street, asjust a bit of Westminster Curtain Twitching that doesnt interest The World outside. This morning, he urged Cabinet Ministers to focus on jabs and jobs. The only inFormation i have is that the Prime Minister has paid For this, and hes made that very clear in his own words, so its a Case Of. Theres a lot of discussion, perhaps, that really interests people particularly in westminster and the media about aspects of redecoration, whether its wallpaper or armchairs or whatever It Is, but i think the vast majority of people in this country are very keen about what It Is we are doing in order to protect livelihoods. Most Prime Ministers do up the Downing Street flat to suit their tastes, but this isnt a row about soft furnishings or wallpaper. Its about having a clear Public Record of who is interacting with the people who run the country. The suggestion is that a donation or a loan was made to borisjohnson to help him pay For his redecoration costs. Now, that in itself wouldnt be likely to break the rules, as long as It Is properly declared. So far, no declaration has been made. Labour says if there is nothing to hide, borisjohnson should just be clear. Theres a reason why we have rules around donations and loans to government ministers, why they have to be declared, because ministers have to be beyond they have to be above reproach, and we dont know the situation here. So again, borisjohnson has to offer a full and frank explanation. He has to be transparent. If hes got nothing to hide, hes got nothing to fear. But so far, his behaviour suggests something fishy is going on. Thats not good enough. Downing street says if a Loan Or Donation was made, it will be declared in due course, probably in the register of ministers� interests. The Cabinet Secretary is reviewing how the flat refurbishment was funded. The reason why we have these rules around transparency is so that the public know who decision makers, up to and including the Prime Minister, what their interests are, and to be clear they are acting on behalf of the people, on behalf of citizens, on behalf of taxpayers, and that theyre not overly influenced by donations or loans or private interest from anybody else. Reporter has the Prime Minister broken the rules, Mr Raab . No, says the Foreign-secretary'>Foreign Secretary. But all the time there remain answers that are unclear, and questions will keep on coming. Our political correspondent Chris Mason is at westminster, he gave me the latest. This matters itself For its own sake because its about probity in government. In a sense, we are lifting the bonnet up to see what happens in government when perhaps those they are Behind Closed Doors arent expecting people to be listening to what might be going on. So expect those questions to continue. The government is insistent it has behaved properly and in the fullness of time, the necessary declarations will be made. There is a second Thought Worth pondering, we are just a week away from crucial elections all over great britain, devolved, local, may oral, police and crime commissioner, and what extent does all of this have on voters contemplating a trip to the Polling Station . How much of Boris Johnsons to the Polling Station . How much of Borisjohnsons Behaviour is priced in, given he has always been an unconventional politician . Labour hope to use the westminsterjargon that It Hope to use the Westminsterjargon Thatitis Hope to use the westminsterjargon that It Is beginning to cut through to people but even they acknowledge not quite to the extent that they might hope, perhaps. The first uk medical supplies have arrived in india, as the country struggles with an unprecedented surge in Coronavirus Infections and deaths. The uk has airlifted ventilators and oxygen equipment, but much more is needed. There have been more than 320,000 new infections today, and the World Health Organization says three variants of the virus have contributed to the spread, along with a failure to stop recent large gatherings. Rajini vaidyanathan sent us this report. A collective loss that is hard to process as the pyres keep burning. There is a tragic inevitability in india, because tomorrow these scenes will be the same. Round the clock, volunteers have been helping to cremate those who have died. Translation 5096 of deaths are not registered by the government as covid i9. 0ur Ngo brings bodies to be cremated. The government only counts related deaths of victims who die in a hospital. He believes the actual Death Toll is far higher than the official numbers. And in a country dubbed the pharmacy of The World, because it produces so many medicines, there isnt enough to go around. Police guarded the limited supplies. Families Forced to wait For whatever they can. Many feel abandoned by those in power. Translation the government has failed us so much, that those who can normally survive will also die. So many people are dying because they are unable to get the most basic services. This kind of disaster im witnessing, ive never seen this level of crisis beFore. And in this crisis, help from further afield. Ventilators and Oxygen Concentrators sent by the Uk Government arrived in delhi last night. Its a start, but with the surge in cases, nothing is enough. There have also been offers of help from other countries, too, even regional rivals like China And Pakistan have pledged support. The us is also looking at supplying oxygen, covid tests and ppe to india. Its announced Itll Share up to 60 Million doses of the Astrazeneca Vaccine with other countries as they become available. But For so many families, its all too late. No cry For help can save what india has already lost. As thousands die every day, more families bear the pain. And theyre not alone in their grief. India is a nation in mourning. Rajini vaidyanathan, Bbc News. Devina gupta is in delhi For us, and told us that theres been widespread Under Reporting of covid cases. The reality is in the capital, delhi, where over 300 deaths are being reported every day, i know people who say they are displaying covid symptoms but cant get themselves tested because hospitals in different laboratories are turning them away. I was speaking to the owner of one of the Pathology Labs in delhi who said their staff is overwhelmed and cant accommodate any more people and that will reflect on the number of infections that are reported by the city and will also impact the Response Mechanism For it. We have also seen Bbc Team is going to crematoriums and reporting the number of bodies that are coming in leading to the pires burning constantly seems to be exceeding far more than what is being recorded in the Western State Of Gujarat where the media reported that in mid april, they projected the Death Number to be between 150 to 160 people. When they went to the crematoriums, over 600 bodies were brought every day and these are grim figures. Thats what the challenges For the government, is, to be more transparent so they can handle this crisis with the public. And tomorrow, the bbc is bringing you a special day of coverage on the Deepening Coronavirus Crisis in india and its significance For the globalfight against the pandemic. Well have reports, interviews and analysis across tv, radio and digital throughout the day. Every lockdown fine handed out should be reviewed, according to a Committee Of Mps. They say the system is muddled, discriminatory and unfair. Our home Affairs Correspondent June Kelly is here. What exactly are the mps saying . The main what exactly are the mps saying . Tie main charge they are making is that these fines are criminalising the poor and these fines range from £200 For not wearing a facemask to £10,000 if you organise an illegal gathering. This Committee Of Mps is made up of Notjust Mps but members of the House Of Lords, all parties, so its a real cross section. They say one of the basic problems is that the system is not clear legally which poses difficulties For the police, and they say the system has beenin police, and they say the system has been in place For about a year and they say It Is prejudiced, they believe, against certain groups, notably the poor, the young and some ethnic minorities, and they say the reason why they are saying that is because if you dont or cant pay the fine, you then have to go to court and they are saying thats how people are Ending up in the Court System. They are also quoting stats that say those who have Ended up in the Court System, a quarter of those cases have been thrown out of court which peers and mps would say underlines there are problems with the system, that people are having action taken against them when they shouldnt be, so thats what they see the whole system is completely wrong and needs a review. What see the whole system is completely wrong and needs a review. What are the Government Wrong and needs a review. What are the government saying wrong and needs a review. What are the government saying in wrong and needs a review. What are the government saying in Responsel Wrong and needs a review. What are i the government saying in response to that. Is there likely to be any review of all these fines . The Mood Music is no. Review of all these fines . The Mood Music is no, the review of all these fines . The Mood Music is no, the Government Review of all these fines . The Mood Music is no, the government say i review of all these fines . The Mood L Music is no, the government say they work closely with the police throughout the pandemic to get the system going worked closely, and they say It Is right that those who are very obviously breaching the rules should face the consequences. Their point is that many people have been following the rules, why should people who have been following the rules be punished . Very, very strong reporting from the committee but it looks as though there will be no action. People aged 42 and over in england, are now able to book their coronavirus jab. More than 33. 7 million people in the uk have now received their first dose, and almost 12. 9 million, have had two. Its just 2a hours since the Vaccine Roll Out was opened up to anyone in england over the age of 1m. A miscarriage can be a devastating trauma, and now a big study of Four Million pregnancies across seven countries has unearthed alarming new infomation. For instance, data suggests black women face a significantly higher risk of having a miscarriage than white women, and losing a pregnancy can leave all women vulnerable to long Term Health problems. With one in seven End'>Pregnancies Ending in a miscarriage, there are now calls For more Specialist Support to be offered. 0ur health correspondent, Anna Collinson, reports. People dont Talk About Miscarriages that much, so i really had no experience of what happens when somebody has a miscarriage. In 2018, nana lost her fourth baby at 18 weeks. As a black woman, research suggests she is more at risk of miscarrying. What happened going through labour was worse than knowing that my baby died, because with my previous pregnancies going through labour is painful, its horrible, but you have a living baby at End'>The End of it. This time i knew it was going to be painful, it was going to be horrible and i was going to be presented with my baby that had died. A new report published in the lancet has studied more than Four Million pregnancies across seven countries. It says around one in seven End'>Pregnancies End in miscarriage. And around one and 100 women suffer three or more losses in a row. Crucially, it suggests miscarriage rates among black women are 43 higher compared to white women. Researchers are now calling For further studies to work out why this group may be more at risk. There are several possible reasons. One is that they are more susceptible to diabetes and hypertension, and those conditions need to be well controlled. Another is they more likely to have fibroids, and we are not sure how they contribute to miscarriage. And the other reason is social. Its possible that black women are less keen to access medical care. Losing a baby in pregnancy can have a devastating impact. Todays report estimates that it almost quadruples the risk of suicide and doubles the risk of depression. Most women who Miscarry Go On to have a healthy pregnancy, so couples are usually encouraged to try again without further investigation. But experts argue special support should be offered after one loss instead of three, which is often the case. EastEnders Actor Lacey Turner says she kept the pain of her two miscarriages to herself For a long time. For me, i think you become a mother the minute you are pregnant. And For that to be taken away, thats another loss. You sort of, you grieve the fact that you arent going to be a mother, as well as losing a baby. It was a loss, you know, at seven weeks. Lacey now has two young children and hopes speaking about her experiences will let others know they are not alone. Anna collinson, Bbc News. The headlines on Bbc News no let up For the Prime Minister more questions over who paid to renovate his Downing Street flat. But ministers back borisjohnson. The first shipment of uk medical aid arrives in india, as Coronavirus Infections and deaths reach record highs. Researchers say lockdowns and other Covid Measures adversely affect the Speech Development of young children. Some schools are now offering additional support. Theres growing evidence that the Coronavirus Lockdowns have adversely affected the language skills of young children. A study has found that reduced social interaction, and the wearing of face coverings in public have deprived youngsters of experiences essential For increasing vocabulary. Heres our education editor, branwen jeffreys. Its been a strange year For young children. Less contact with grandparents, no play dates or family parties, fewer chances to learn new words or practise using them. I was worried about him making friEnds. About him. If something was troubling him, that he would be sat in the Corner Upset and not being able to, like, ask For help or. Say what was wrong with him. Right from Reception Class, language skills matter, allowing children to speak, listen and understand. The bbc has seen inFormation based on 50,000 children, assessments in Reception Class last autumn. It reveals a marked increase in children needing help, and researchers have found similar worries in schools across england. There is huge concern expressed by schools about young Childrens Speech and language following the impact of the pandemic. We can see that in the survey results, but also anecdotally, right across our networks. This is a really strong theme coming across from schools and parents. You need words to play, to make friEnds at school, to have conversations and to learn. And the worry is that during the pandemic, even more children may have fallen further behind in learning the language skills they need. Good . Good sitting. And our voices. So could this be part of the answer . This Teaching Assistant has been trained to work closely with small groups. Weve been learning about seed sowing. We talked about different parts of the plants. Growing seeds. Learning and using new words, listening and repeating. We use different scenarios, different words, new words that we introduce in different narratives and activities during the sessions, and then we also use what words weve learned in the classroom environment. Look, its starting to uncurl. In research, children made up to three months progress, gaining confidence, understanding more. 7,000 Primary Schools have had the training. Its being scaled up with government funding. All the research shows that if a child does have issues with language at that age, then by adulthood, theyre four times more likely to struggle with reading, three times more likely to have Mental Health issues, twice as likely to be unemployed and have social mobility issues. So getting this right at such an early age is literally the key to childrens future. Harry, what is happening with the shoot . Its starting to grow. Hes become a little chatterbox. Hes always asking questions. She does come out with words that shes learned from school, something theyve been talking about, then shell teach me at home as well. Shell kind of teach me things theyve been doing, which is nice. Help at this stage can make a Difference Right through school. But even younger children have missed out, too. Not all have seen a Health Visitor Face to face. The scale of the Pandemic Word Gap not yet measured. Branwenjeffreys, Bbc News, walsall. Imran hussain is the director of policy and campaigns at the Childrens Charity Action For children. How much damage do you think has been done by the pandemic to early learning . We been done by the pandemic to early learnin . ~. ,. , learning . We are incredibly worried about what is learning . We are incredibly worried about what is happening learning . We are incredibly worried about what is happening to learning . We are incredibly worried about what is happening to children as a result of the pandemic. As you heard there, what We Saw was a change For parents and children last year. Children were not going on play dates, they werent experiencing The World in the way they would normally experience The World, and we know that children develop and learn by experiencing The World, by asking questions, by having fun talking to people, and so that damage has been done and i think it should be a matter of national priority For us to kinda fix it and protect these children. Some people watching might say, you know, young kids are resilient, they will get through this, they will get over it, they will bounce back. What would you say to that . Would you say to that . Children are resilient but would you say to that . Children are resilient but we would you say to that . Children are resilient but we know would you say to that . Children are resilient but we know that would you say to that . Children are resilient but we know that they resilient but we know that they learn through interacting and if you stop that interaction, the effect on those children is very real and i think there is evidence of the harm, the interruption to their education, is not clawed back easily so i think thats the problem. We are going to have fewer children who are school ready and if they are not school ready, clearly that is going to have an impact on their childhoods and on their School Life and education. Thatin their School Life and education. That in turn will have an impact on their Life Chances so this stuff matters and this generation of children, particularly these young children, particularly these young children, being born or at preschool while lockdown was happening, this really matters For them and if we dont get it right, they will living with the consequences For a number of years and we will see that as well so the message to the government as we are not prioritising children enough and we are certainly not prioritising the early years who need extra help and catch up is only £80 million. I dont think thats sustainable and i think the government will shift the question is how serious is the shift going to be . Whats needed is not just the help as Children Transition into schools, but even beFore that, when babies brains are growing the fastest and return on investment is the best at that age, so making sure parents can access Health Visitors and that we have Children Centres and that we have Children Centres and Family Hubs in place that can give children the kind of support they need and pick up Language And Communication problems, so our childrens centres do that, we pick up childrens centres do that, we pick up these problems, but what we are facing right now means if It Is the universal service, we want all parents to have access to this kind of health so we can support them and pick up problems. If we dont pick up pick up problems. If we dont pick up these problems, then we will be living with the consequences For a really long time. I living with the consequences For a really long time. Really long time. I suppose one of the problems really long time. I suppose one of the problems of really long time. I suppose one of the problems of the really long time. I suppose one of the problems of the last really long time. I suppose one of the problems of the last year really long time. I suppose one of the problems of the last year has | the problems of the last year has been notjust schools and nurseries being closed but also the lack of social interaction so young children who would normally be with their grandparents, spEnding a lot of time with them, just havent had that. Exactly and we know how children develop in all sorts of different ways so playing with friEnds, it teaches them about Self Control and sharing on things like that so it makes a difference, whether It Is Family Members, Loved Ones or friEnds, orjust going out to the zoo or the countryside and seeing The World around you and asking questions and picking up new words and practising, thats a real part of all of this, so all of these things that we know how the kind of things that we know how the kind of things that we know how the kind of things that parents want to do, parents have been unable to do and so what we need to get kids back on Track And Support parents and support schools and that basically means as making it a national mission and making sure that this generation of children dont live with the scars of this crisis For years to come. The queen has been photographed carrying out an official Public Engagement The First since the death of her husband the duke of edinburgh earlier this month. The monarch, whos 95, held virtual audiences at Windsor Castle via Video Link earlier today with the ambassadors of latvia and the ivory coast. Now, Louise Lear has the weather. Good afternoon. Its the 27th Of April but i cant believe this is the first time this month im using the phrase April Showers. Yes, there are some with this weatherfront, slowly sinking its way south and west today. To the north of that front, we have got a few more isobars on the chart, that is where the strongest of the winds are going to be, gusts perhaps in the sharper showers of 30 to a0 mph. So we have seen some Weather Watcher pictures sent in showers. This was edinburgh just a few hours ago. And you can see how extensive the cloud and the showers are, not too intense at the moment but there is a Rash Driving in off the North Sea Coast and they will filter a little bit further west. Now, there is a decent break in the clouds through bristol over towards suffolk, that is where the best of the sunshine is likely to be. Those showers continuing through this afternoon, maybe one or two heavier ones with the Odd Rumble of Thunder And Hail mix in there. So the best of the sunshine, obviously, brings the best of the warmth, 16 degrees. But on that North East exposed coast, once again, the Temperature Struggling, 7 9 celsius. These temperatures generally down on where they should be For this time of year. Now, our showers and our cloud sink their way steadily south through the night tonight. Some clearer skies in scotland and that is where we will see the lowest of the temperatures, but still holding up above freezing quite widely across the country. So not quite as chilly a start to wednesday morning, but once again there is going to be some cloud and some showers around. This time that front will be sitting through central and southern wales, along with the midlands and down across the South Coast. The isobars open up further north. That means that lighter winds, but that could mean that some of those Showers Mayjust linger across the far North East of scotland. So, nevertheless, it could be a little bit disappointing tomorrow and those Temperature Struggling, again For this time of year, way below par. We are going to see a maximum of 8 111 celsius. As we move out of wednesday and into thursday, we even start to lose some of that warmth into the south East Corner as the colder air starts to sink its way south, so once again, the british isles is underneath that blue, the cooler air mass. And that has an impact to the feel of the weather, particularly out to the east. There will be some showers, a Cool North to North Easterly breeze, meaning Temperature Struggling to get into double figures. So thereFore the best of the sunshine and the best of the warmth, even though it will be a little bit disappointing, will certainly be further west. Take care. Hello, this is Bbc News.

We deserve it because we came a long way. Of course we deserve to play a semifinal and if problems exist on a sports political level, then it has to be solved on this level.

Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe s local mp has criticised what shes called the Prime Ministers dismal failure that has led to the British Iranian Aid Worker Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe facing more time injail.

Labours Tulip Siddiq made her comments following a statement in the commons by the Foreign-office'>Foreign Office minsterjames cleverly. Mr speaker, as the news unfolded yesterday i watched with great interest as the Prime Minister talked about redoubling his efForts to get Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe home and how he was working as hard as he possibly could to secure her release.

If the Prime Minister is watching now, i would like to ask him what efForts have you put into trying to release Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe in the first place because from where i am standing i see no evidence on part of the Prime Minister so far.

The Prime Minister did not even arrange Uk Officials to attEnd the recent Court Hearing which might have ensured she got a free and fair trial. He still hasnt got his government to pay the £400 million debt that we as a country of iran. And we mps might be many things but we are not naive.

Voters in Scotland Head to the polls For the Holyrood Elections next week, and the issue of indepEndence will be high on the agEnda. The snp and the scottish greens are among those calling For another referEndum, while the conservatives, labour and the lib dems, are against it. 0ur political correspondent, nick eardley, has the latest from glasgow. Here in glasgow, there are some pretty imposing reminders of its past as the Second City of the british empire. These days, though, the economy looks a bit different. In normal times, a bigger focus on gigs and events, less on shipyards. Senses of identity have changed, too. In the last referEndum, glasgow backed indepEndence and, ahead of the election next week, people are talking about Scotlands Future again. For me, personally, Endence'>Scottish IndepEndence is the main thing in this election. Its a chance For. Obviously For scotland to get a say again, its a chance For a new fresh start, which everybody wants after covid. I would say indepEndence is quite high up there, but i also want a decent recovery. IndepEndence should not be the most important issue at this election. It should be kind of building back better with a green recovery. Scotlands control of big pandemic decisions is playing a role in the debate. Nicola sturgeon and her party ran a country through a global wide pandemic. Why cant she run everything else the Furlough Scheme and the vaccines and stuff like that . We could have made that decision, too, if we were indepEndent. The Snp Havent been fantastic but because indepEndence is still on the cards, its essentially a free pass For them For this election. Some argue a referEndum would be a distraction. By saying that we Cant Focus on two things, its kind of insulting our own intelligence and the peoples intelligence, the fact that were a smart nation im sure we can multitask. Can borisjohnson just keep saying no if the scottish people are voting For pro indepEndence parties . No, i dont think so. If theres a pro Endence-majority'>IndepEndence Majority in holyrood, theyll have a mandate to have a second referEndum. Thats not the view in Downing Street, though. The Uk Government has made it pretty clear itll say no to another referEndum, even if theres a pro Endence-majority'>IndepEndence Majority which raises the possibility of a pretty tense Stand Off over the next few years in which indepEndence continues to be a key issue. As the Parties Line up their arguments, businesses wonder what it all means For them. Here at Shearers Candles The Boss thinks the economy should be the focus, and that the scottish and Uk Governments should work together. It would mean theyre not wasting time arguing with each other. We might get a little bit there a little bit quicker and a little bit better and a little bit faster. Is it likely . He laughs. Is it possible . I. Have my doubts. IndepEndence isnt the only thing For voters here to weigh up theres a lot at stake in these elections but the debate over Scotlands Future is hard to avoid. Nick eardley, Bbc News, glasgow.

Tom symonds, Bbc News, warwickshire. Hot on the heels of the Vinyl Revival is the cassette comeback. Cassette tape sales are actually estimated to have doubled last year compared to 2019. Ian haslams been looking into the retro Format� s unlikely resurrection. Music pass the dutchie by musical youth. Forget 21st century streaming. In this part of Central Manchester its all about Cassette Tapes if you can find something to play it on, that is. Pass the Dutchie Pon the left hand side. Basically, we started as a Record Label and, as a Record Label starting out, we didnt have a lot of money, so we found the best physical Format was Cassette Tape and that kind of mutated and turned into a shop. I think people also like the idea that Streaming Isnt giving enough money to artists, so by having smaller artists having cassette releases they get a bit more money. I decided to seek out some old tapes at my parents house, with mixed results. This is the jam, cant go wrong with that, still good, stand by that one. This was the first album i ever got rick astley, 1987. How much would you buy that For . Damaged box. Er, damaged, ill give you a couple of quid. If it was better id give you more. Sentimental value i probably wont part with it. Then it went on to the London Boys in 1989. But should you wish to revisit questionable old musical choices, theyve got the equipment to hear it. I feel like when you own a cassette and you can listen to it many times, you really appreciate whats in the cassette and the music. I feel like that now, having rediscovered my London Boys cassette the tape revival� s certainly a curiosity. I think its quite good. I like all the record shops and Cassette Tapes, i think its really interesting. Do you remember cassettes . Yeah. Yes, yeah. I had the spice girls on cassette. Did you . S club 7. Its kind of like records, i guess. Its, like, nostalgic, as well, isnt it . Some, like me, used tapes For low Level Chart Recording piracy in the 80s. The first New Entry on this Weeks Chart is at number two rick astley, when i fall in love. Whats Number One . And For the fifth week. Sound cuts out. 0h. New entry at. Number39. See . Things like that could happen you could make mistakes taping over things. Not Forgetting this. Well, weve all had this nightmare, havent we . We spEnd hours trying to get It In, then it go in too baggy. But its not putting off big bands from releasing cassettes. Soon as the cassette revival, big Record Labels as well, like universal records, have starting to release tape again and this is from a big Record Label its a Manchester Band called blossoms, from stockport, and theyve sent the copies. All of which has given me confidence to play that London Boys cassette one last time. Youre the love of my life. My life, my life. I wont let you go now. Ian haslam, Bbc News. Now, last night a 24 year old student from glasgow became the youngest person to ever win the bbc quiz show, mastermind. Jonathan gibson triumphed in the Grand Final after scoring a perfect 11 out of 11 in his specialist subject round, on the Comedy Song writing duo, flanders and swann.

But, yeah, i think thatjust once you are in the Chair And Oncejohn is reading the questions, i think you just try and focus on one question at a time. Jonathan is the 2021 Mastermind Champion. The Grand Final also marked another little landmark. It Wasjohn Humphrys 735th and final show. The previous record For youngest Mastermind Champion lasted 28 years. The new presenter, a Tv Journalist and presenter by the name of clive myrie, may have to ask a lot of questions beFore this record is broken again. David silitto, Bbc News. Now its time For a look at the weather with Louise Lear. Good afternoon. Its the 27th Of April but i cant believe this is the first time this month im using the phrase April Showers. Yes, there are some with this weatherfront, slowly sinking its way south and west today. To the north of that front, we have got a few more isobars on the chart, that is where the strongest of the winds are going to be, gusts perhaps in the sharper showers of 30 to 40 mph. So we have seen some Weather Watcher pictures sent in showers. This was edinburgh just a few hours ago. And you can see how extensive the cloud and the showers are, not too intense at the moment but there is a Rash Driving in off the North Sea Coast and they will filter a little bit further west. Now, there is a decent break in the clouds through bristol over towards suffolk, that is where the best of the sunshine is likely to be. Those showers continuing through this afternoon, maybe one or two heavier ones with the Odd Rumble of Thunder And Hail mix in there. So the best of the sunshine, obviously, brings the best of the warmth, 16 degrees. But on that North East exposed coast, once again, the Temperature Struggling, 7 9 celsius. These temperatures generally down on where they should be For this time of year. Now, our showers and our cloud sink their way steadily south through the night tonight. Some clearer skies in scotland and that is where we will see the lowest of the temperatures, but still holding up above freezing quite widely across the country. So not quite as chilly a start to wednesday morning, but once again there is going to be some cloud and some showers around. This time that front will be sitting through central and southern wales, along with the midlands and down across the South Coast. The isobars open up further north. That means that lighter winds, but that could mean that some of those Showers Mayjust linger across the far North East of scotland. So, nevertheless, it could be a little bit disappointing tomorrow and those Temperature Struggling, again For this time of year, way below par. We are going to see a maximum of 8 14 celsius. As we move out of wednesday and into thursday, we even start to lose some of that warmth into the south East Corner as the colder air starts to sink its way south, so once again, the british isles is underneath that blue, the cooler air mass. And that has an impact to the feel of the weather, particularly out to the east. There will be some showers, a Cool North to North Easterly breeze, meaning Temperature Struggling to get into double figures. So thereFore the best of the sunshine and the best of the warmth, even though it will be a little bit disappointing, will certainly be further west. Take care. This is Bbc News. Im ben brown. The headlines at 3 no let up For the Prime Minister more questions over who paid to renovate his Downing Street flat, but ministers back borisjohnson. The only inFormation i have is that the Prime Minister has paid For this, and hes made that very clear. Boris johnson has to offer a full and frank explanation. He has to be transparent. If hes got nothing to hide, he has nothing to fear. The first shipment of uk medical aid arrives in india, as Coronavirus Infections and deaths reach record highs.

And a 24 year old student from glasgow survives the black chair, becoming the youngest ever winner, of mastermind. Good Afternoon And Welcome to Bbc News. The Prime Minister is coming under increasing pressure, after several allegations, over his personal conduct in office. There are renewed questions this afternoon, over who paid For the redecoration of his Downing Street flat. A spokesman has again declined to say whether Boris Johnson received a loan from the Conservative Party to cover the costs but insisted he has fully complied with all guidance. The Prime Minister chaired a Cabinet Meeting this morning as he attempted to shift the focus away from personal controversies. Heres our political correspondent, helen catt. The government is keen to dismiss a number of rows, including how borisjohnson funded a revamp of his home in Downing Street, asjust a bit of Westminster Curtain Twitching that doesnt interest The World outside. This morning, he urged Cabinet Ministers to focus on jabs and jobs. The only inFormation i have is that the Prime Minister has paid For this, and hes made that very clear in his own words, so its a Case Of. Theres a lot of discussion, perhaps, that really interests people particularly in westminster and the media about aspects of redecoration, whether its wallpaper or armchairs or whatever It Is, but i think the vast majority of people in this country are very keen about what It Is we are doing in order to protect livelihoods. Most Prime Ministers do up the Downing Street flat to suit their tastes, but this isnt a row about soft furnishings or wallpaper. Its about having a clear Public Record of who is interacting with the people who run the country. The suggestion is that a donation or a loan was made to borisjohnson to help him pay For his redecoration costs. Now, that in itself wouldnt be likely to break the rules, as long as It Is properly declared. So far, no declaration has been made. Labour says if there is nothing to hide, borisjohnson should just be clear. Theres a reason why we have rules around donations and loans to government ministers, why they have to be declared, because ministers have to be beyond they have to be above reproach, and we dont know the situation here. So again, borisjohnson has to offer a full and frank explanation. He has to be transparent. If he has nothing to hide, he has nothing to fear. But so far, his behaviour suggests something fishy is going on. Thats not good enough. Downing street says if a Loan Or Donation was made, it will be declared in due course, probably in the register of ministers interests. The Cabinet Secretary is reviewing how the flat refurbishment was funded. The reason why we have these rules around transparency is so that the public know who decision makers, up to and including the Prime Minister, what their interests are, and to be clear they are acting on behalf of the people, on behalf of citizens, on behalf of taxpayers, and that theyre not overly influenced by donations or loans or private interest from anybody else. Reporter has the Prime Minister broken the rules, Mr Raab . No, says the Foreign-secretary'>Foreign Secretary. But all the time there remain answers that are unclear, and questions will keep on coming. Helen catt, Bbc News. Lets speak to our political correspondent, jonathan blake. The correspondent, jonathan blake. Headline in the Da Boris the headline in the Daily Mail is, boris on the ropes. Is he . The headline in the Daily Mail is, boris on the ropes. Is he .

There boris on the ropes. Is he . Thats a question For voters. There is question For voters. There is definitely pressure on the Prime Minister in a series of ways after a very difficult few days and a difficult couple of weeks For Boris Johnson. It has to be said. Today he is facing further questions, as you heard in helens report, firstly about the funding of the renovations of the Downing Street flat which he lives in with his fiancee above number 11 Downing St and where the money came from to do that. The Rules State that Prime Ministers get an allowance of up to £30,000 in public funds to spEnd on the upkeep of their accommodation, but over and above that It Is up to them to finance it For themselves. The prime Ministers Spokesman said today that he fully complies with all the rules. Any costs of the wider refurbishment in number ten have been met by the Prime Minister and he has acted in accordance with the appropriate codes of conduct. There are claims that alone was received via conservative Party Headquarters which would count as a political donation that borisjohnson is now paying back, which funded the renovations on that. Downing street have refused to deny that that was the case or indeed to confirm it. It may be that we find out more detail when the declaration of ministerial interests is published. The last time that came out wasjuly last year. 0nce time that came out wasjuly last year. Once the Prime Minister has appointed somebody to the currently vacant post of the indepEndent adviser on ministerial standards, those details may be Forthcoming and it may shed a little bit more light on that part of this problem For borisjohnson in particular and Boris Johnson in particular and around borisjohnson in particular and around the language he has used, particularly as weve reported previously and are again now, that he referred to bodies piling high over and above imposing another lockdown, there was a flat denial of that For the Prime Minister yesterday. He said he had never said it and his spokesman denied that he had ever said it today. Lets discuss what the public are making of all this and what the polls are saying. We can speak now to Chris Curtis from the Polling Organisation 0pinium research. Is this cutting through to the voters . The government say It Is gossip and the voters care about the pandemic and the vaccination Roll Out and so on. I pandemic and the Vaccination Rollout and so on. Pandemic and the Vaccination Rollout and so on. I think what we can say with rollout and so on. I think what we can say with Confidence Rollout and so on. I think what we can say with confidence is rollout and so on. I think what we can say with confidence is that rollout and so on. I think what we can say with confidence is that the | can say with confidence is that the government was right as of End'>The End of last week so that was the last time We Saw a lot of Opinion Polls coming in, a lot of them conducted after the stories around cameron and all of those things and at that point, nothing seemed to have cut through, the conservatives still held a comFortable 11 point lead, borisjohnson still held favourability ratings and that was off the back of the fact that the Vaccine Roll Out is going well, the vast majority of the country approving of that on the other countries were not cutting through. We dont know whether these latest allegations are going to cut through because there is always a couple of days ultimate delay as we are measuring the reaction of the public so we are just going to have to wait and see on that. I do wonder out of all of the allegations we have seen if there is going to be the comment about the dead bodies piling up in the street, if thats the one that does cut through with the public, but that depEnds on whether people do believe that he said it or not or whether people think its just one of those things that is necessarily true. In of those things that is necessarily true. Of those things that is necessarily true. ,. ,. ,. , true. In terms of the various stories about true. In terms of the various stories about the true. In terms of the various stories about the downing. True. In terms of the various stories about the Downing Street flat, is there a question of all these various claims and counter claims piling up and at that stage when they do pile up, that then starts to cut through to the voters . At End'>The End of last week there were a lot of complicated allegations and claims and counter claims, and none of them had been really focused on and made clear why that should be important to voters, why it affected their lives and thereFore should affect their vote. For example, nobody had taken the claim and said Government Money is being wasted and thatis Government Money is being wasted and that is why you should not be voting For this government and future. That had really happened last week and im still not sure it has happened this but there is also a way that stories cut through, that they are humanised but Go On And on and on. We are in week three of the government having negative stories about them. Eventually the public are going to see this as too chaotic and thereFore start to apply negative associations to the government as a consequence, so we dont know yet whether this story is going to cut through or what impact It Is going to have but i think it would be very, very unlikely if the government Ends this week on the same sort of strong Polling Lead at End'>The End of last week. I think thats unlikely, its possible, but theres lots and their that one of these stories might cut through and start to harm that comes to believe that the conservatives currently have in the conservatives currently have in the polls. Its the conservatives currently have in the olls. � , the conservatives currently have in the olls. H , , the polls. Its interesting because governments the polls.

Its interesting because governments of all colours often | the polls. Its interesting because i governments of all colours often say the gossip and the stories inside the gossip and the stories inside the Westminster Bubble dont cut through to the voters at large and what the voters care about is the economy, the Health Service and so on. Thats what they always say and i suppose there is some truth to that in End'>The End. I suppose there is some truth to that in End'>The End. There is but there is also westminster that in End'>The End. There is but there is also Westminster Gossip that in End'>The End.

Gordon brown not calling an election 2008, that didnt affect the economy, that didnt affect the economy, that didnt affect the nhs, yet his reputation never came back from it. Dominic Cummings Trip to Barnard Castle last year was Westminster Gossip, didnt affect the economy of the nhs, the conservative Poll Lead was slashed by nine points in a week so sometimes It Is westminster Gossip Stories that cut through as well. Im still not sure yet but one of those stories weve seen over the End-mightjust'>WeekEnd Mightjust be that one that does cut through and change the current positive reputation that borisjohnson has among the voters. Thank you, chris. Good to talk to you. The first uk medical supplies have arrived in india, as the country struggles with an unprecedented surge in Coronavirus Infections and deaths. The uk has airlifted ventilators and oxygen equipment, but much more is needed. There have been more than 320,000 new infections today, and the World Health Organization says three variants of the virus have contributed to the spread, along with a failure to stop recent large gatherings. Rajini vaidyanathan with this report. A collective loss thats hard to process as the pyres keep burning. Theres a tragic inevitability in india, because tomorrow these scenes will be the same. Round the clock, volunteers have been helping to cremate those who have died. Translation 5096 of deaths are not registered by the government as covid 19. 0ur Ngo brings bodies to be cremated directly from homes of victims. The government only counts related deaths of victims who die in a hospital. He believes the actual Death Toll is far higher than the official numbers. And in a country dubbed the pharmacy of The World, because it produces so many medicines, there isnt enough to go around. Police guard the limited supplies. Families Forced to wait For whatever they can. Many feel abandoned by those in power. Translation the government has failed us so much, that those who can normally survive would also die. So many people are dying because they are unable to get the most basic services. This kind of disaster im witnessing, ive never seen this level of crisis beFore. And in this crisis, help from further afield. Ventilators and Oxygen Concentrators sent by the Uk Government arrived in delhi last night. Its a start, but with the surge in cases, nothing is enough. Theres also been offers of help from other countries, too. Even regional rivals like China And Pakistan have pledged support. The us is also looking at supplying oxygen, covid tests and ppe to india. Its also announced Itll Share up to 60 Million doses of the Astrazeneca Vaccine with other countries as they become available. But For so many families, its all too late. No cry For help can save what india has already lost. As thousands die every day, more families bear the pain. And theyre not alone in their grief. India is a nation in mourning.

Its relaxation, complacency, exhaustion, resentment of continuing the measures, but large mass gatherings combined with different variants circulating, the ones we know of that were detected in South Africa and the united Kingdom And Brazil but also a newer one that was first detected in india, so all those combinations and factors are really adding up to, i dont want to call it a perfect storm, a terrible storm. 50 call it a perfect storm, a terrible storm. ,. , call it a perfect storm, a terrible storm. ,. ,. ,. , storm.

It seems impossible when youve got such a huge outbreak but it can be done and it has been done in other countries. In it can be done and it has been done in other countries. In other countries.

And the outside world are sEnding supplies. Thats why weve been saying all along that this virus, thats why It Is problematic, a lot of people have not really understood that because theyjust have a very mild illness or asymptomatic illness but if you are at the severe End, you need complex medical care, you need care in a hospital, you need oxygen, and those things are limited so if you have huge numbers of cases, 15 of your numbers are people way beyond your numbers are people way beyond your capacity to deal with and that is what we are seeing and, thanks to the uk and everyone else, we are also sEnding thousands of Oxygen Concentrations and Field Hospital but It Is wonderful to see The World standing up and helping, wejust need to keep that spirit going throughout this pandemic in terms of getting the vaccines, fairly distributing them and all the other thing is fairly distributed so we can End this.

Thank you very much, doctor Margaret Harris from the World Health Organization in geneva. And tomorrow, the bbc is bringing you a special day of coverage on the Deepening Coronavirus Crisis in india and its significance For the globalfight against the pandemic. Well have reports, interviews and analysis across tv, radio and digital throughout the day. A miscarriage can be a devastating trauma and now a huge study of Four Million pregnancies across seven countries, has unearthed alarming new infomation. For instance, data suggests black women face a significantly higher risk of having a miscarriage, than white women, and losing a pregnancy can leave all women vulnerable to long Term Health problems. With one in seven End'>Pregnancies Ending in a miscarriage, there are now calls For more Specialist Support to be offered. 0ur health correspondent, Anna Collinson reports. People dont Talk About Miscarriages that much, so i really had no experience of what happens when somebody has a miscarriage. In 2018, nana lost her fourth baby at 18 weeks. As a black woman, research suggests she is more at risk of miscarrying. What happened going through labour was worse than knowing that my baby died, because with my previous pregnancies going through labour is painful, its horrible, but you have a living baby at End'>The End of it. This time i knew it was going to be painful, it was going to be horrible and i was going to be presented with my baby that had died. A new report published in the lancet has studied more than Four Million pregnancies across seven countries. It says around one in seven End'>Pregnancies End in miscarriage. And around one and 100 women suffer three or more losses in a row. Crucially, it suggests miscarriage rates among black women are 43 higher compared to white women. Researchers are now calling For further studies to work out why this group may be more at risk. There are several possible reasons. One is that they are more susceptible to diabetes and hypertension, and those conditions need to be well controlled. Another is they more likely to have fibroids, and we are not sure how they contribute to miscarriage. And the other reason is social. Its possible that black women are less keen to access medical care. Losing a baby in pregnancy can have a devastating impact. Todays report estimates that it almost quadruples the risk of suicide and doubles the risk of depression. Most women who Miscarry Go On to have a healthy pregnancy, so couples are usually encouraged to try again without further investigation. But experts argue special support should be offered after one loss instead of three, which is often the case. EastEnders Actor Lacey Turner says she kept the pain of her two miscarriages to herself For a long time. For me, i think you become a mother the minute youre pregnant. And For that to be taken away, thats another loss. You sort of, you grieve the fact that you arent going to be a mother, as well as losing a baby. It was a loss, you know, at seven weeks. Lacey now has two young children and hopes speaking about her experiences will let others know they are not alone. Anna collinson, Bbc News. An Inquest into the deaths of Jack Merrit and saskia jones at Fishmongers Hall in london has been told that their killer was involved in Extremist Bullying in prison.

Usman khan was a convicted terrorist who had spent eight years in prison and was released just one year beFore carrying out that attack. What we heard from dci Dan Brown was that throughout his time in prison, Usman Khan was considered to be a category a high risk prisoner. There are only 100 prisoners with that categorisation who are considered to be that dangerous. The jury was told that Usman Khan associated with high Profile Terrorists in Prison Including Michael who murdered Fusilier Lee Rigby and the two of them had discussed their muslim faith. He was also involved in violent assaults on prison. In one case, the assault involved a christian prisoner who had refused to convert to islam. The jury was also told there was intelligence that Usman Khan had deliberately lied to the Prison Authorities to fold them into thinking that he had changed his ways. To full them fool. In the months leading up to the attack, we were told there were three meetings convened by the agencies responsible For managing him and that included the Prison And Probation service and the jury was told that at three of those meetings, the fact that Usman Khan was attEnding this conference at Fishmongers Hall was discussed and according to the minutes, they talked about how he was going to get to the conference and how he was going to get home again to stafFord, but according to the minutes, what was not discussed was the level of risk, the risk associated with Usman Khan attEnding that conference. Theres growing evidence that the Coronavirus Lockdowns, have adversely affected the language skills of young children. A study has found that reduced social interaction, and the wearing of face coverings in public, have deprived youngsters of experiences, essential For increasing vocabulary. Heres our education editor, branwen jeffreys. Its been a strange year For young children Less Contact with grandparents, no play dates or family parties, fewer chances to learn new words or practise using them. I was worried about him making friEnds. About him. If something was troubling him, that he would be sat in the Corner Upset and not being able to, like, ask For help or. Say what was wrong with him. Right from Reception Class, language skills matter, allowing children to speak, listen and understand. The bbc has seen inFormation based on 50,000 children, assessments in Reception Class last autumn. It reveals a marked increase in children needing help, and researchers have found similar worries in schools across england. There is huge concern expressed by schools about young Childrens Speech and language following the impact of the pandemic. We can see that in the survey results, but also anecdotally, right across our networks. This is a really strong theme coming across from schools and parents. You need words to play, to make friEnds at school, to have conversations and to learn. And the worry is that during the pandemic, even more children may have fallen further behind in learning the language skills they need. Good . Good sitting. And our voices. So could this be part of the answer . This Teaching Assistant has been trained to work closely with small groups. Weve been learning about seed sowing. We talked about different parts of the plants. Growing seeds. Learning and using new words, listening and repeating. We use different scenarios, different words, new words that we introduce in different narratives and activities during the sessions, and then we also use what words weve learned in the classroom environment. Look, its starting to uncurl. In research, children made up to three months progress, gaining confidence, understanding more. 7,000 Primary Schools have had the training. Its being scaled up with government funding. All the research shows that if a child does have issues with language at that age, then by adulthood, theyre four times more likely to struggle with reading, three times more likely to have Mental Health issues, twice as likely to be unemployed and have social mobility issues. So getting this right at such an early age is literally the key to childrens future. Harry, what is happening with the shoot . Its starting to grow. Hes become a little chatterbox. Hes always asking questions. She does come out with words that shes learned from school, something theyve been talking about, then shell teach me at home as well. Shell kind of teach me things theyve been doing, which is nice. Help at this stage can make a Difference Right through school. But even younger children have missed out, too. Not all have seen a Health Visitor Face to face. The scale of the Pandemic Word Gap not yet measured. Branwenjeffreys, Bbc News, walsall. Now Louise Lear has the weather. Hello there. 0ur Weather Story has changed. Yes, theres a rare sighting of April Showers out there at the moment and as we go through the afternoon, maybe even the Odd Rumble of thunder and a little bit of hail. This was North Yorkshire just a few hours ago. Most of the showers so far have been to the north across eastern scotland, eastern england. Some are drifting their way into Northern Ireland, northwest England And North wales, with the best of the sunshine across the South Coast into the southEast Corner. Thats where well have the best of the warmth, but noticeably cooler, particularly when you factor in the showers and the blustery wind as well. Those showers will drift their way steadily south and west overnight tonight so we start the day off tomorrow with a different emphasis. More cloud, more showers through wales, the midlands and down into southern england. Therell be some sunshine through Northern Ireland and scotland along with northern england, but those temperatures pretty disappointing For this time of year, a maximum ofjust 8 14 celsius, and that cool trEnd continues For the rest of the week.

Its seven years since chelsea have been in the Semi Finals of the Champions League, but Theirfirst Leg takes place tonight. They are in spain to take on Real Madrid. Last week they were facing calls from across football For them to be banned because of their involvement in the failed European Super League bid. Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel naturally believes that kind of punishment would be unfair. We deserve to be in the semifinal like Real Madrid deserve to be in the semifinal, and we do not deserve it because of political decisions because of our logo. We deserve it because we came a long way. Of course we deserve to play a semifinal and if problems exist on a sports political level, then it has to be solved on this level.

They say the system is muddled, discriminatory and unfair. More than 85,000 fixed penalty notices have been issued in england, since the pandemic began, with 8,000 in wales. Our home Affairs Correspondent, June Kelly, explained more. This Committee Of Mps is made up of members of the House Of Lords as well and is a real cross section. They say one of the basic problems is the system is not clear legally which poses difficulties For the police and then they say the system has been in place For a year and say its prejudice they believe against certain groups, notably the poor, the young and some ethnic minorities. They say the reason why they are saying that is because if you dont or cant pay the fine you then have to go to court and they are saying thats how people are Ending up in the Court System and they are quoting stats that say those who have Ended up in the Court System, a quarter of those cases have been thrown out of court which the peers and mps would say underlines the fact there are problems with the system, that basically people are having action taken against them when they shouldnt be. Thats why they say the whole system is completely wrong and needs a review. And needs a review. Thats what the mps are saying and needs a review. Thats what the mps are saying but and needs a review. Thats what the mps are saying but what and needs a review. Thats what the mps are saying but what is and needs a review. Thats what the mps are saying but what is the i mps are saying but what is the government saying . Is there likely to be any review of all these fines . What the government says is that they have worked closely with the police are of the pandemic to get the system going and they say its right that those were very obvious to breaching the rules should face the consequences. They point is that most people have been following the rules, why should people who they say are not following the rules, why shouldnt they be punished . Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffes local mp has criticised what shes called the Prime Ministers dismal failure that has led to the British Iranian Aid Worker Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe facing more time injail. A month after completing a five yearjail sentence, mrs Zaghari Ratcliffe was been sentenced yesterday to a further 12 months in prison. Labours Tulip Siddiq made her comments following a statement in the commons by the Foreign-office'>Foreign Office minsterjames cleverly. Mr speaker, as the news unfolded yesterday, i watched with great interest as the Prime Minister talked about redoubling his efForts to get Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe home and how he was working as hard as he possibly could to secure her release. If the Prime Minister is watching now, i would like to ask him, what efForts have you put into trying to release Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe in the first place . Because from where i am standing, i see no evidence on part of the Prime Minister so far. At the heart of this tragic case is a Prime Ministers dismal failure to release my constituent and to stand up For her and his devastating blundering in 2017 when he was Foreign-secretary'>Foreign Secretary when he exposed his complete ignorance of this tragic case and put more harm in her way. The Prime Minister did not even arrange For Uk Officials to attEnd the recent Court Hearing, which might have ensured she got a free and fair trial. He still hasnt got his government to pay the £400 million debt that we as a country owe iran. And we mps might be many things, but we are not naive. We cannot deny the fact that Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe was handed a fresh new sentence a week after the ims Court Hearing was delayed. Bearing this in mind, i would like to ask the minister some questions and i would really appreciate some proper answers from him. When will the minister acknowledge that Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe is being held hostage by iran and is a victim of torture . In light of the recent adjournment of the ims case rescheduled For last week, what is the government doing to ensure the debt is paid properly . I completely understand the passion with which the honourable lady speaks and i can hear the Anger And Frustration in her voice. However, her Anger And Frustration is misdirected because Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe and the other british nationals held on Arbitrary Detention are being held by iran. It is on them. The situation with regard to the charges that have been recently brought against the british dual nationals and the sentence that that has been brought down For Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe are because of iran. And it should be towards iran that we direct our attention. With regard to Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffes treatment, our priority has always been her full release and her ability to return home to the uk. The uk does not and will never accept nationals being used as diplomatic leverage. We recognise her treatment has been completely unacceptable. Its totally inhumane and unjustified. We call upon iran to allow Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe to return home to the uk and the release from detention all british nationals that are being held. The government is demanding that Former postmasters wrongly prosecuted For theft should be compensated as soon as possible after the Horizon Accounting System scandal.

The first shipment of uk medical aid arrives in india, as Coronavirus Infections and deaths, reach record highs. Researchers say lockdowns and other Covid Measures adversely affect the Speech Development, of young children. Some schools are now offering additional support. Lets return to one of our main stories. Theres growing evidence that the Coronavirus Lockdowns have adversely affected the language skills of young children. A study has found that reduced social interaction, and the wearing of face coverings in public, have deprived youngsters of experiences, essential For increasing vocabulary. Assistant Head Teacher Victoria Day has helped us put together this short film with five tips showing how you can help your kids with their language. My top tips to support your children with their Communication And Language would be. Tip one have a conversation with your children about something that interests them. If they are playing, chat to them. Chatter away with them. What about you, harry . Tip two is read with them. Make the most of stories, whether its inFormation books or fairy tales, because they are jam packed full of rich vocabulary which will enable your child to thrive. Tip three, is give them lots of experiences, whether its taking them to the park or into the garden, because that will give them and give you opportunities to develop their vocabulary. Because with new experiences, brings about new vocabulary. Tip four, is question. Question, comment, explain and expand their vocabulary. Oh, thats giant it looks giant. It does through your magnifying glass. I and my final tip, tip five is to sing with your children, enjoy rhymes. Because through rhyming and singing, we can develop their vocabulary. Wind the bobbin. Wind the bobbin up. Pull, pull. Clap clap clap. Well, Imran Hussain is the director of policy and campaigns at the Childrens Charity Action For children. I asked him how he felt about the impact of the pandemic on childrens development. I think we are worried about whats happening to children as a result of the pandemic. As you heard there, what We Saw was more change For parents and children last year and the children were not going on play dates, they were not experiencing The World in the way they would normally experience The World and we know that children develop and learn by experiencing The World, by asking questions, by having fun and talking to people. That damage has been done and i think it should be a national priority For us to fix it and protect these children. Priority For us to fix it and rotect these children. ,. , protect these children. Some people miaht sa , protect these children. Some people might say. But protect these children. Some people might say. But young protect these children. Some people might say, but young kids protect these children. Some people might say, but young kids are might say, but young kids are resilient, they will get through this and get over it and bounce back. What would you say to that . Children are resilient but we know they learn through interacting and if you stop that interaction their effect on those children will be real. There is evidence actually that the harm that interruption to their education is not clawed back easily. Thats the problem. We will have fewer children who will be school ready and if they are not school ready and if they are not school ready and if they are not school ready then clearly that will have an impact on their childhoods and on their School Life and education. And that in turn will have an impact on their Life Chances. So this stuff matters and this generation of children, particularly these young children, this stuff really matters For them and if we dont get it right they will be living with the consequences For a number of years. Five people have been arrested after police in warwickshire have found a suspected Methamphetamine Laboratory during a raid this morning. Officers from the national crime Agency And Warwickshire police discovered what they believe to be a large Scale Operation to produce the illegal drug. Our home Affairs Correspondent Tom Symonds reports. A sizable property in rural warwickshire, End'>The End of a long investigation. Two people arrested here. Dozens of police and National Crime Agency officers carried out this early morning raid, backed up by a Chemicals Expert and the fire brigade. Because, in this outhouse, they were expecting to find a Meth Lab. There was a faint escaping vapour. That may be from the highly toxic process used to make methamphetamine. It is rare For police to discover a Meth Lab in the uk. They are more likely to appear in episodes of the Hit Series breaking bad. The type of equipment and chemicals used are not easy to obtain, to use them safely and obtain End'>The End product, methamphetamine, is very, very complex, it takes somebody that knows exactly what they are doing. Laboratories encountered overseas tEnd to be operated by someone who is a trained scientist. In some cases police could read almost every message a suspect sent the messages were passed to british police. They say in general the suspects were unaware the messages were being read and they discussed their activities openly. The substances present in this building are potentially so dangerous only firefighters with Breathing Gear are going in. It could take hours beFore it can be made safe.

Now its time For a look at the weather with Louise Lear. Good afternoon. Its the 27th Of April but i cant believe this is the first time this month im using the phrase April Showers. Yes, there are some with this weatherfront, slowly sinking its way south and west today. To the north of that front, we have got a few more isobars on the chart, that is where the strongest of the winds are going to be, gusts perhaps in the sharper showers of 30 to a0 mph. So we have seen some Weather Watcher pictures sent in showers. This was edinburgh just a few hours ago. And you can see how extensive the cloud and the showers are, not too intense at the moment but there is a Rash Driving in off the North Sea Coast and they will filter a little bit further west. Now, there is a decent break in the clouds through bristol over towards suffolk, that is where the best of the sunshine is likely to be. Those showers continuing through this afternoon, maybe one or two heavier ones with the Odd Rumble of Thunder And Hail mix in there. So the best of the sunshine, obviously, brings the best of the warmth, 16 degrees. But on that North East exposed coast, once again, the Temperature Struggling, 7 9 celsius. These temperatures generally down on where they should be For this time of year. Now, our showers and our cloud sink their way steadily south through the night tonight. Some clearer skies in scotland and that is where we will see the lowest of the temperatures, but still holding up above freezing quite widely across the country. So not quite as chilly a start to wednesday morning, but once again there is going to be some cloud and some showers around. This time that front will be sitting through central and southern wales, along with the midlands and down across the South Coast. The isobars open up further north. That means that lighter winds, but that could mean that some of those Showers Mayjust linger across the far North East of scotland. So, nevertheless, it could be a little bit disappointing tomorrow and those Temperature Struggling, again For this time of year, way below par. We are going to see a maximum of 8 14 celsius. As we move out of wednesday and into thursday, we even start to lose some of that warmth into the south East Corner as the colder air starts to sink its way south, so once again, the british isles is underneath that blue, the cooler air mass. And that has an impact to the feel of the weather, particularly out to the east. There will be some showers, a Cool North to North Easterly breeze, meaning Temperature Struggling to get into double figures. So thereFore the best of the sunshine and the best of the warmth, even though it will be a little bit disappointing, will certainly be further west. Take care. This is Bbc News. Im ben brown. The headlines at four no let up For the Prime Minister more questions over who paid to renovate his Downing Street flat, but ministers back borisjohnson. The only inFormation i have is that the Prime Minister has paid For this, and hes made that very clear. Boris johnson has to offer a full and frank explanation. He has to be transparent. If hes got nothing to hide, he has nothing to fear. The first shipment of uk medical aid arrives in india, as Coronavirus Infections and deaths, reach record highs. Its difficult, quite often, if you are in a country where things are improving, the feeling is it looks good, but in worldwide terms, we are actually at our most intense transmission ever. Researchers say lockdowns and other Covid Measures, adversely affect the Speech Development of young children. Some schools are now offering additional support. You have now a total of 28 points. And a 24 year old student from glasgow survives the black chair, becoming the youngest ever winner of mastermind. Good Afternoon And Welcome to Bbc News. The Prime Minister is coming under increasing pressure after several allegations over his personal conduct in office. There are renewed questions this afternoon over who paid For the redecoration of his Downing Street flat. A spokesman has again declined to say whether Boris Johnson received a loan from the Conservative Party to cover the costs but insisted he has fully complied with all guidance. The Prime Minister chaired a Cabinet Meeting this morning as he attempted to shift the focus, away from personal controversies. Heres our political correspondent, helen catt. The government is keen to dismiss a number of rows, including how borisjohnson funded a revamp of his home in Downing Street, asjust a bit of Westminster Curtain Twitching that doesnt interest The World outside. This morning, he urged Cabinet Ministers to focus on jabs and jobs. The only inFormation i have is that the Prime Minister has paid For this, and hes made that very clear in his own words, so its a Case Of. Theres a lot of discussion, perhaps, that really interests people particularly in westminster and the media about aspects of redecoration, whether its wallpaper or armchairs or whatever It Is, but i think the vast majority of people in this country are very keen about what It Is we are doing in order to protect livelihoods. Most Prime Ministers do up the Downing Street flat to suit their tastes, but this isnt a row about soft furnishings or wallpaper. Its about having a clear Public Record of who is interacting with the people who run the country. The suggestion is that a donation or a loan was made to borisjohnson to help him pay For his redecoration costs. Now, that in itself wouldnt be likely to break the rules, as long as It Is properly declared. So far, no declaration has been made. Labour says if there is nothing to hide, borisjohnson should just be clear. Theres a reason why we have rules around donations and loans to government ministers, why they have to be declared, because ministers have to be beyond they have to be above reproach, and we dont know the situation here. So again, borisjohnson has to offer a full and frank explanation. He has to be transparent. If he has nothing to hide, he has nothing to fear. But so far, his behaviour suggests something fishy is going on. Thats not good enough. Downing street says if a Loan Or Donation was made, it will be declared in due course, probably in the register of ministers interests. The Cabinet Secretary is reviewing how the flat refurbishment was funded. The reason why we have these rules around transparency is so that the public know who decision makers, up to and including the Prime Minister, what their interests are, and to be clear they are acting on behalf of the people, on behalf of citizens, on behalf of taxpayers, and that theyre not overly influenced by donations or loans or private interest from anybody else. Reporter has the Prime Minister broken the rules, Mr Raab . No, says the Foreign-secretary'>Foreign Secretary. But all the time there remain answers that are unclear, and questions will keep on coming. Helen catt, Bbc News. We can now speak to our political correspondentjonathan blake. Labour said something fishy is going on. Lets go through these various allegations in more detail. Lets start with the refurbishment of the Downing Street flat the pm is still underfire . Yes, the key questions are how much was spent on the refurbishment of the flat of ii was spent on the refurbishment of the flat of 11 Downing St where borisjohnson the flat of 11 Downing St where Boris Johnson lives the flat of 11 Downing St where borisjohnson lives with his fiancee and where the money came from. Prime ministers get up to £30,000 of public money to spEnd on the upkeep of their living quarters each year. The figures For the last financial year which would take on Boris Johnsons first full year in office have not yet been published but if we take it as read that he spent the maximum amount and then topped it up with furtherfunds, the maximum amount and then topped it up with further funds, the question arises, where did that come from . On friday, the Government Set For the first time that the Prime Minister had personally met the costs of Refurbishment Work in Downing Street but there are questions about a possible Loan Or Donation to the Conservative Party which was used For that purpose and those questions were turbo charged on friday when the Prime Ministers Former senior adviser Dominic Cummings published his blog in which he talked of a possible secret plan For Boris Johnson to get donors to pay For the work. Alone in itself would not be against any rules but it would need to be declared a loan, and that is the issue For critics, the lack of clarity around that. The key intervention from the prime Ministers Spokesman was that any costs of the wider refurbishment at number ten had been met by the Prime Minister and he has acted in accordance with the appropriate codes of conduct and electoral law. Lets have a quick look at what those key points of electoral Law And Conduct are. Political parties have to report any donations or loans above £7,500, mps have to report any financial contributions within 28 days, any donations which could influence them, and the government each year is supposed to twice yearly published list of ministers financial interests. It ministers financial interests. It lasted that injuly ministers financial interests. It lasted that in july 2020. Ministers financial interests. It lasted that injuly 2020. The next publication which is awaiting the appointment of the Prime Ministers indepEndent adviser on ministerial standards could contain the key details that would fill in the missing parts of this puzzle. Thats the row over missing parts of this puzzle. Thats the row over the missing parts of this puzzle. Thats the row over the flat missing parts of this puzzle. Thats| the row over the flat refurbishment which has been rumbling on For days but lets also talk about this claim that the Prime Minister said he would rather see bodies piled high than a second lockdown. Tell us more about that and how damaging that could be For the government. Eame could be For the government. Some very striking could be For the government. Some very striking language could be For the government. Some very striking language which could be For the government. he very striking language which takes us back to the heated debate in government that there was about whether to impose a second lockdown are not in england or impose further restrictions in england back in september of last year. It has been reported by us here at the bbc and others that borisjohnson has said he would rather see bodies piled high than impose another lockdown. The Prime Minister was asked about this himself yesterday on camera and he gave a flat denial, said that he had not said that and referred to several reports along those lines as Rubbish And Today the Prime Ministers official spokesman was asked about that phrase that he may or may not have used and he said that he didnt say it and this was untrue. I clear Denialfrom Number ten about the phrase which Boris Johnson is reported to have used and its claims to have used by several people in the vicinity at the time. Is claimed to have used. The is claimed to have used. The third strand is claimed to have used. The third strand is is claimed to have used. The third strand is into is claimed to have used. The third strand is into who supposedly leach the plan For the second lockdown, the so called chatty rat. This is an ongoing investigation by the Cabinet Secretary simon case about who leaked the media plans to impose a national lockdown in october of last year. It emerged in the media beFore there was an official announcement and beFore mps had been told that was what was going to happen and there was speculation at the time that had been done to Force the Prime Ministers hand. The investigation which has become known as the chatty Rat Inquiry is ongoing and the Cabinet Secretary himself was facing questions from mps Cabinet Secretary himself was facing questions from mp5 on this yesterday. He sounded sceptical about whether it might actually ever catch the culprit. He said. What ties all these things together For borisjohnsons critics at least is that there are issues of trust and issues of transparency, and there are simply things which need answers, questions which need answers, questions which need answers, but borisjohnson is a divisive politician, his supporters and his detractors are equally vocal as oppose i suppose the key question is whether it will do anything but further entrench people on either side or whether it does anything to do anything For people wavering in the middle. Anything to do anything For people wavering in the middle. Thank you, jonathan. Wavering in the middle. Thank you, jonathan we wavering in the middle. Thank you, jonathan. We will wavering in the middle. Thank you, jonathan. We will explore wavering in the middle. Thank you, jonathan. We will explore those jonathan. We will explore those possible implications now with henry hill, thank you For being with us. We heard jonathan laying out the various allegations and counter claims. What does all of this mean to the voters out there . Do they care . To the voters out there . Do they care . ,. To the voters out there . Do they care . , care . This is always the big Question Care . This is always the big question because care . This is always the big question because if care . This is always the big question because if you care . This is always the big question because if you are J Care . This is always the big question because if you are inside the bubble, a journalist like me who covers this all the time, this isnt telling you anything big you didnt already know. Yes, there are some salacious details and interesting quotations about what is missing is we already here borisjohnson talk about desperately avoiding going back into lockdown, so did rishi sunak, we know he had a toxic falling out with Dominic Cummings and there are allegations, i cant say whether they are true or not, about the influence of carrie simmons so the question is whether this will cut through with the public and my suspicion is that unFortunately For the opposition, the public still think that the government is getting the big issues right. They still think the Vaccine Roll Out is on plan, the unlocking timetable is on plan, people are getting back out to pubs and restaurants and meeting up with Family Members and looking Forward to the summer and my suspicion is that as long as that is the case in the public continue to credit the government with that, it will be difficult For the opposition to make the sort of thing stick. The sort of thing stick. Difficult, but dominic the sort of thing stick. Difficult, but Dominic Cummings, the sort of thing stick. Difficult, but Dominic Cummings, the the sort of thing stick. Difficult, but Dominic Cummings, the Former chief adviser to the Prime Minister looks like hes got plenty of ammunition left and might be firing off a few more salvos in Downing Streets direction in the coming weeks. ~ ,. , � , Streets Direction in the coming weeks. Absolutely. Hes appearing beFore mps weeks. Absolutely. Hes appearing beFore mps late weeks. Absolutely. Hes appearing beFore mps late next weeks. Absolutely. Hes appearing beFore mps late next month weeks. Absolutely. Hes appearing beFore mps late next month and i weeks. Absolutely. Hes appearing l beFore mps late next month and the story will run until then, we can expect to run till after that because it would be very surprising if Dominic Cummings fired all of his ammunition beFore that event which he will want to make into a showpiece so he will definitely be holding something back. That will certainly produce nearly six weeks of bad headlines For the government and no government really wants that but if we are taking the big picture long term view, we are still several years out from the next election so the question is, is there anything thatis the question is, is there anything that is going to make this the sort of story we are still talking about in 12 months or two years . Or potentially that would Force Boris Johnson to depart beFore that date. It might be that Dominic Cummings has e mails or better still, recordings, betterFor him, which will make it much more immediate and likely to cut through, but my suspicion is that if it remains in the realm of he said versus he said, disgruntled Ex Employee versus politician, the Prime Minister will probably be able to tap this out. Is probably be able to tap this out. Is quite a psychodrama between them. How did things get too bad so bad between borisjohnson and Dominic Cummings . They werejoined between borisjohnson and Dominic Cummings . They were joined at the hip during the Brexit Campaign and Downing Street. The hip during the Brexit Campaign and Downing Street. Downing street. The problem is in the Endum'>Brexit ReferEndum Downing Street. The problem is in the Endum'>Brexit ReferEndum they Downing Street. The problem is in the Endum'>Brexit ReferEndum they had i Downing Street. The problem is in the Endum'>Brexit ReferEndum they had a| the Endum'>Brexit ReferEndum they had a common goal and worked very hard towards achieving it but their dispositions and outlook and long term projects are fundamentally different. Dominic cummings is a divisive figure but hes also very driven, he has a very clear idea of why he wanted to be in power and what he wanted to do with power, borisjohnson what he wanted to do with power, Boris Johnson fundamentally is what he wanted to do with power, borisjohnson fundamentally is a very different person, he likes consensus even if he doesnt generate it necessarily, he likes to be liked and that came to a clash between Dominic Cummings on one hand and some other of the Prime Ministers advisers on the other and Conservative Party supporters, one of the most concerning thing is For them about this is notwithstanding any of the details is the fact that the consistent feature of all of this is that Downing Street, which should be full of people weve never really heard of getting on with the job of obeying the Prime Minister, appears to be instead For the people battling it out For control of the Prime Minister and the agEnda, and thats not how it supposed to work. If you are one of the Prime Ministers advisers, what should he be doing in the weeks and months ahead to try to wrestle back control of the political agEnda . Weill.

Then the really important stuff, focus on how we will transition, to the economic heavy lifting For when this comes to an End because we are coming up to the point when the government is going to have to stop start winding down furlough which could cause unemployment if mishandled. The education of thousands of children. These are really big issues. Get on with stuff like Force'>Housing And Force this out of the headlines by proactively governing. You got an overall majority of 80, you can set the terms if you have the will to do it. The headlines on Bbc News. No let up For the Prime Minister more questions over who paid to renovate his Downing Street flat. But ministers back borisjohnson. The first shipment of uk medical aid arrives in india, as Coronavirus Infections and deaths, reach record highs. Researchers say lockdowns and other Covid Measures, adversely affect the Speech Development of young children. Some schools are now offering additional support. The first uk medical supplies have arrived in india, as the country struggles with an unprecedented surge in Coronavirus Infections and deaths. The uk has airlifted ventilators and oxygen equipment, but much more is needed. There have been more than 320,000 new infections today, and the World Health Organization says three variants of the virus have contributed to the spread, along with a failure to stop recent large gatherings. Rajini vaidyanathan with this report. A collective loss thats hard to process as the pyres keep burning. Theres a tragic inevitability in india, because tomorrow these scenes will be the same. Round the clock, volunteers have been helping to cremate those who have died. Translation 5096 of deaths are not registered by the government as covid i9. Our ngo brings bodies to be cremated directly from homes of victims. The government only counts related deaths of victims who die in a hospital. He believes the actual Death Toll is far higher than the official numbers. And in a country dubbed the pharmacy of The World, because it produces so many medicines, there isnt enough to go around. Police guard the limited supplies. Families Forced to wait For whatever they can. Many feel abandoned by those in power. Translation the government has failed us so much, that those who can normally survive would also die. So many people are dying because they are unable to get the most basic services. This kind of disaster im witnessing, ive never seen this level of crisis beFore. And in this crisis, help from further afield. Ventilators and Oxygen Concentrators sent by the Uk Government arrived in delhi last night. Its a start, but with the surge in cases, nothing is enough. Theres also been offers of help from other countries, too. Even regional rivals like China And Pakistan have pledged support. The us is also looking at supplying oxygen, covid tests and ppe to india. Its also announced Itll Share up to 60 Million doses of the Astrazeneca Vaccine with other countries as they become available. But For so many families, its all too late. No cry For help can save what india has already lost. As thousands die every day, more families bear the pain. And theyre not alone in their grief. India is a nation in mourning. Rajini vaidyanathan, Bbc News. I spoke to Dr Margaret Harris from the World Health Organization in geneva, and i asked her what she thinks has gone wrong in india. Its a combination of factors, but we certainly have seen this kind of conflagration occurring in countries where there has been a desire to believe that theyve beaten it, that is the most dangerous moment For any society, but its more than that. Its relaxation, complacency, exhaustion, resentment of having to continue the measures, but large mass gatherings combined with different variants circulating, the ones we know of that were detected in South Africa and the united Kingdom And Brazil, but also a newer one thats first been detected in india, so all those combinations and factors are really adding up to. I dont want to call it a perfect storm, a terrible storm. It is indeed, and so many governments have worn For a need For restrictions because otherwise the Health Service will collapse. We are really seeing an example of that in india at the moment, which is horrific to see, but hospitals just cant cope. We also do know with this virus that if you can reverse it, it takes off quickly, it spreads and clusters which sparks other clusters so it moves so quickly, but you can also stop it very quickly because it spreads via clusters so if you can break the chains of transmission, you can stop it quickly, but the whole community has to understand why they need to take the personal protective measures, the strong Public Health social measures, stop the mass gatherings, stop being in close contact, find every case, isolate everybody who is potentially infectious. It seems impossible when youve got such a huge outbreak, but it can be done and it has been done in other countries. In the short term, what they need there are things like medical oxygen, which theyve been desperately short of. Weve seen horrific stories about patients who cant get enough oxygen and the outside world is stepping in, sEnding in supplies. Thats why weve been saying all along that this virus, thats why It Is problematic, a lot of people have never really understood that because a lot of people just have a very mild illness or asymptomatic illness, but if you are at the severe End, you need complex medical care, you need care in a hospital, you need oxygen, and those things are limited so if you have huge numbers of cases, but 15 of your numbers are people way beyond your capacity to deal with and that is what we are seeing, and, thanks to the uk and everyone else, we are also sEnding thousands of Oxygen Concentrators and Field Hospitals, but It Is wonderful to see The World standing up and helping. We just need to keep that spirit going throughout this pandemic in terms of getting the vaccines fairly distributed and all the other things fairly distributed so we can End this. How would you characterise the pandemic now on a global scale . We are seeing countries like the uk where the vaccination Roll Out has been successful and the Death Rate is coming down sharply, but generally around The World, what is the virus doing . Around The World, we are in our most intense, most severe state we have ever been, so its difficult if you are in a country where things are improving, the feeling is that it looks good, but in wider terms, we are at our most intense transmission ever. The acceleration numbers are higher than ever and the number of deaths, sadly, are higher than ever. We have got the latest Uk Figures For coronavirus. 2685 people have tested positive, a rise of a few hundred. In terms of deaths within 28 days of a positive test, 17 deaths reported compared to six yesterday. Vaccinations, in terms of the first dose of vaccinations, almost 3a million now have had the first dose. 33 million. Second dose, more than 13 million. The Vaccine Roll Out continues. Every lockdown fine handed out should be reviewed, according to a Committee Of Mps. Out should be reviewed, they say the system is muddled, discriminatory and unfair. More than 85,000 fixed penalty notices have been issued in england, since the pandemic began. Our home Affairs Correspondent, June Kelly, explained the background now, this committee of mp5 is made up of Notjust Mps but members of the House Of Lords, all parties, so its a real cross section. They say one of the basic problems is that the system is not clear legally, which poses difficulties For the police, and then they say the system has been in place For about a year and they say It Is prejudiced, they believe, against certain groups, notably the poor, the young and some ethnic minorities, and they say the reason why theyre saying that is because if you dont or cant pay the fine, you then have to go to court and they are saying thats how people are Ending up in the Court System. They are also quoting stats that say those who have Ended up in the Court System, a quarter of those cases have been thrown out of court, which the peers and mp5 would say underlines the fact that there are problems with the system, that basically people are having action taken against them when they shouldnt be, so thats why they see the whole system is completely wrong and needs a review. What are the government saying in response to that . Is there likely to be any review of all these fines . The Mood Music is no, the government say they worked closely with the police throughout the pandemic to get the system going, and they say It Is right that those who are very obviously breaching the rules should face the consequences. Their point is that many people have been following the rules, why should people who have been following the rules be punished . The Inquests into deaths of Jack Merrit and saskia jones in the attack at Fishmongers Hall in london have been told that their killer was involved in Extremist Bullying in prison. Convicted terrorist Usman Khan attacked the two graduates at an educational event in november 2019. Our correspondent, Zoe Conway, gave us this update from the Inquest at londons guildhall. The Inquest has been hearing from Detective Chief Inspector Dan Brown from the metropolitan police, who is carrying out an investigation into the Fishmongers Hall attack and as part of this investigation hes been looking into the background of Usman Khan and in particular Usman Khans time in prison. Usman khan was a convicted terrorist who had spent eight years in prison and was released just one year beFore carrying out that attack. What we heard from dci Dan Brown was that throughout his time in prison, Usman Khan was considered to be a category a high risk prisoner.

The jury was told that Usman Khan associated with high Profile Terrorists in Prison Including Michael who murdered Fusilier Lee Rigby and the two of them had discussed their muslim faith. He was also involved in violent assaults in prison. In one case, the assault involved a christian prisoner who had refused to convert to islam. The jury was also told that there was intelligence that Usman Khan had deliberately lied to the Prison Authorities to fool them into thinking that he had changed his ways. We also heard about the management of Usman Khan in the community in the months leading up to the attack, we were told there were three meetings convened by the agencies responsible For managing him and that included the Prison And Probation service and the jury was told that at three of those meetings, the fact that Usman Khan was attEnding this conference at Fishmongers Hall was discussed and, according to the minutes, what they talked about was how he was going to get to the conference and how he was going to get home again to stafFord, but, according to the minutes, what was not discussed was the level of risk, the risk associated with Usman Khan attEnding that conference.

Our Weather Story has changed. Yes, theres a rare sighting of April Showers out there at the moment and as we go through the afternoon, maybe even the Odd Rumble of thunder and a little bit of hail. This was North Yorkshire just a few hours ago. Most of the showers so far have been to the north across eastern scotland, eastern england. Some are drifting their way into Northern Ireland, northwest England And North wales, with the best of the sunshine across the South Coast into the southEast Corner. Thats where well have the best of the warmth, but noticeably cooler, particularly when you factor in the showers and the blustery wind as well. Those showers will drift their way steadily south and west overnight tonight so we start the day off tomorrow with a different emphasis. More cloud, more showers through wales, the midlands and down into southern england. Therell be some sunshine through Northern Ireland and scotland along with northern england, but those temperatures pretty disappointing For this time of year, a maximum ofjust 8 14 celsius, and that cool trEnd continues For the rest of the week.

The head of the professional footballers association, gordon taylor, has denied that the organisation has been too slow to act over increasing evidence that concussion in sport is linked to neurological conditions like dementia. Taylor steps down from the Pfa Injune after a0 years in charge. He was speaking to a parliamentary committee, after being accused of having blood on his hands by campaigners. There are many within the game that feel as if the pfa has focused on many things in the game, but has been Asleep At The Wheel as far as this goes because its been 19 years since the Inquest. I can do a timetable really of all that has happened. I we have never been asleep on it. I think its an unfair criticism| because i know what we did. I am perfectly happy to show anybody what we have done i and what we are doing and what we intEnd to do. A new study has found that teenage girls are almost twice as likely to suffer concussion playing football than teenage boys. Researchers at the university of glasgow alongside researchers in the us are now calling For more work to be done looking at the risks to girls, who are less likely to be subbed off and take longer to recover than boys. The study identified heading the ball as a specific risk to young female players.

Last week, they were facing calls from across football For them to be banned because of their involvement in the failed European Super League bid. Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel naturally believes that kind of punishment would be unfair. We deserve to be in the semifinal like Real Madrid deserve to be in the semifinal, and we do not deserve it because of political decisions because of our logo. We deserve it because we came a long way. Of course we deserve to play a semifinal and if problems exist on a sports political level, then it has to be solved on this level.

If the vote passes, Formal ratification will be sometime later this week.

Ahead of the vote, eu politicians debated the deal this afternoon. Our europe correspondent, nick beake, has been following developments. We will have his report a bit later on. Theres growing evidence that the Coronavirus Lockdowns, have adversely affected the language skills of young children. A study has found that reduced social interaction, and the wearing of face coverings in public, have deprived youngsters of experiences, essential For increasing vocabulary. Heres our education editor, Bra Nwen jeffreys. Its been a strange year For young children. Less contact with grandparents, no play dates or family parties, fewer chances to learn new words or practise using them. I was worried about him making friEnds. About him. If something was troubling him, that he would be sat in the Corner Upset and not being able to like, ask For help or. Say what was wrong with him. Right from Reception Class, language skills matter, allowing children to speak, listen and understand. The bbc has seen inFormation based on 50,000 children, assessments in Reception Class last autumn. It reveals a marked increase in children needing help, and researchers have found similar worries in schools across england. There is huge concern expressed by schools about young Childrens Speech and language following the impact of the pandemic. We can see that in the survey results, but also anecdotally, right across our networks. This is a really strong theme coming across from schools and parents. You need words to play, to make friEnds at school, to have conversations and to learn. And the worry is that during the pandemic even more children may have fallen further behind in learning the language skills they need. Good . Good sitting. And our voices. So could this be part of the answer . This Teaching Assistant has been trained to work closely with small groups. Weve been learning about seed sowing. We talked about different parts of the plants. Growing seeds. Learning and using new words, listening and repeating. We use different scenarios, different words, new words that we introduce in different narratives and activities during the sessions, and then we also use what words weve learned in the classroom environment. Look, its starting to uncurl. In research, children made up to three months progress, gaining confidence, understanding more. 7000 Primary Schools have had the training. Its being scaled up with government funding. All the research shows that if a child does have issues with language at that age, then by adulthood, theyre four times more likely to struggle with reading, three times more likely to have Mental Health issues, twice as likely to be unemployed and have social mobility issues. So getting this right at such an early age is literally the key to childrens future. Harry, what is happening with the shoot . Its starting to grow. Hes become a little chatterbox. Hes always asking questions. She does come out with words that shes learned from school, something theyve been talking about, then shell teach me at home as well. Shell kind of teach me things theyve been doing, which is nice. Help at this stage can make a Difference Right through school. But even younger children have missed out too. Not all have seen a Health Visitor Face to face. The scale of the Pandemic Word Gap not yet measured. Branwenjeffreys, Bbc News, walsall. A miscarriage can be a devastating trauma, and now a huge study of 4 Million pregnancies across seven countries, has unearthed alarming new infomation. For instance, data suggests black women face a significantly higher risk of having a miscarriage, than white women, and losing a pregnancy can leave all women vulnerable to long Term Health problems. Withi in 7 End'>Pregnancies Ending in a miscarriage, there are now calls For more Specialist Support to be offered. Our health correspondent, Anna Collinson reports. People dont Talk About Miscarriages that much, so i really had no experience of what happens when somebody has a miscarriage. In 2018, Nana Adwoa Mbeutcha lost her fourth baby at 18 weeks. As a black woman, research suggests she is more at risk of miscarrying. What happened going through labour was worse than knowing that my baby died, because with my previous pregnancies going through labour is painful, its horrible, but you have a living baby at End'>The End of it. This time i knew it was going to be painful, it was going to be horrible and i was going to be presented with my baby that had died. A new report published in the lancet has studied more than Four Million pregnancies across seven countries. It says around one in seven End'>Pregnancies End in miscarriage. And around one and 100 women suffer three or more losses in a row. Crucially, it suggests miscarriage rates among black women are 43 higher compared to white women. Researchers are now calling For further studies to work out why this group may be more at risk. There are several possible reasons. One is that they are more susceptible to diabetes and hypertension, and those conditions need to be well controlled. Another is they more likely to have fibroids, and we are not sure how they contribute to miscarriage. And the other reason is social. Its possible that black women are less keen to access medical care. Losing a baby in pregnancy can have a devastating impact, with todays report estimating that it almost quadruples the risk of suicide and doubles the risk of depression. Most women who Miscarry Go On to have a healthy pregnancy, so couples are usually encouraged to try again without further investigation. But experts argue special support should be offered after one loss instead of three, which is often the case. EastEnders Actor Lacey Turner says she kept the pain of her two miscarriages to herself For a long time. For me, i think you become a mother the minute youre pregnant. And For that to be taken away, thats another loss. You sort of, you grieve the fact that you arent going to be a mother, as well as losing a baby. It was a loss, you know, at seven weeks. Lacey now has two young children and hopes speaking about her experiences will let others know they are not alone. Anna collinson, Bbc News. Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe 5 local mp has criticised what shes called the Prime Ministers dismal failure that has led to the British Iranian Aid Worker Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe facing more time injail. A month after completing a five yearjail sentence, mrs Zaghari Ratcliffe was been sentenced yesterday to a further 12 months in prison. Labours Tulip Siddiq made her comments following a statement in the commons by the Foreign-office'>Foreign Office minsterjames cleverly. Mr speaker, as the news unfolded yesterday, i watched with great interest as the Prime Minister talked about redoubling his efForts to get Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe home and how he was working as hard as he possibly could to secure her release. If the Prime Minister is watching now, i would like to ask him, what efForts have you put into trying to release Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe in the first place . Because from where i am standing, i see no evidence on part of the Prime Minister so far. At the heart of this tragic case is a Prime Ministers dismal failure to release my constituent and to stand up For her and his devastating blundering in 2017 when he was Foreign-secretary'>Foreign Secretary when he exposed his complete ignorance of this tragic case and put more harm in her way. The Prime Minister did not even arrange For Uk Officials to attEnd the recent Court Hearing, which might have ensured she got a free and fair trial. He still hasnt got his government to pay the £400 million debt i completely understand the passion with which the honourable lady speaks and i can hear the Anger And Frustration in her voice. However, her Anger And Frustration is misdirected because Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe and the other british nationals held on Arbitrary Detention are being held by iran. It is on them. The headlines on Bbc News no let up For the Prime Minister. More questions over who paid to renovate his Downing Street flat. But ministers back borisjohnson.

The appeal begins today in the Case Of maya Forstater, who lost herjob after saying that biological sex is real and unchangeable, in twitter discussions about womens rights. Ms Forstater worked as a Tax Expert at the Think Tank Center For global development. She claimed shed been discriminated against on the grounds of belief when her Contract Wasnt renewed, but an Employment Tribunal ruled against her in 2019. The Appeal Hearing is expected to last two days. Voters in Scotland Head to the polls For the Holyrood Elections next week, and the issue of indepEndence will be high on the agEnda. The snp and the scottish greens are among those calling For another referEndum, while the conservatives, labour and the lib dems, are against it. Our political correspondent, nick eardley, has the latest from glasgow. Here in glasgow, there are some pretty imposing reminders of its past as the Second City of the british empire. These days, though, the economy looks a bit different. In normal times, a bigger focus on gigs and events, less on shipyards. Senses of identity have changed, too. In the last referEndum, glasgow backed indepEndence and, ahead of the election next week, people are talking about Scotlands Future again. For me, personally, Endence'>Scottish IndepEndence is the main thing in this election. Its a chance For. Obviously For scotland to get a say again, its a chance For a new fresh start, which everybody wants after covid. I would say indepEndence is quite high up there, but i also want a decent recovery. IndepEndence should not be the most important issue at this election. It should be kind of building back better with a green recovery. Scotlands control of big pandemic decisions is playing a role in the debate. Nicola sturgeon and her party ran a country through a global wide pandemic. Why cant she run everything else the Furlough Scheme and the vaccines and stuff like that . We could have made that decision, too, if we were indepEndent. The Snp Havent been fantastic but because indepEndence is still on the cards, its essentially a free pass For them For this election. Some argue a referEndum would be a distraction. By saying that we Cant Focus on two things, its kind of insulting our own intelligence and the peoples intelligence, the fact that were a smart nation im sure we can multitask. Can borisjohnson just keep saying no if the scottish people are voting For pro indepEndence parties . No, i dont think so. If theres a pro Endence-majority'>IndepEndence Majority in holyrood, theyll have a mandate to have a second referEndum. Thats not the view in Downing Street, though. The Uk Government has made it pretty clear itll say no to another referEndum, even if theres a pro Endence-majority'>IndepEndence Majority which raises the possibility of a pretty tense Stand Off over the next few years in which indepEndence continues to be a key issue. As the Parties Line up their arguments, businesses wonder what it all means For them. Here at shearer� s candles the boss thinks the economy should be the focus, and that the scottish and Uk Governments should work together. It would mean theyre not wasting time arguing with each other. We might get a little bit there a little bit quicker and a little bit better and a little bit faster. Is it likely . He laughs. Is it possible . I. Have my doubts. IndepEndence isnt the only thing For voters here to weigh up theres a lot at stake in these elections but the debate over Scotlands Future is hard to avoid. Nick eardley, Bbc News, glasgow. You can get more inFormation about the all candidates and policies of the parties running in the scottish elections, on the Bbc News website. Now, last night a 24 year old student from glasgow became the youngest person to ever win the bbc quiz show, mastermind.

I was worried i might look like i was about to pass out. But. But, yeah, i think thatjust once you are in the Chair And Oncejohn is reading the questions, i think you just try and focus on one question at a time. Jonathan is the 2021 Mastermind Champion. The Grand Final also marked another little landmark. It Wasjohn Humphrys 735th and final show. The previous record For youngest Mastermind Champion lasted 28 years. The new presenter, a Tv Journalist and presenter by the name of clive myrie, may have to ask a lot of questions beFore this record is broken again. David silitto, Bbc News. Now its time For a look at the weather. Its the 27th Of April but i cant believe this is the first time this month im using the phrase April Showers. Yes, there are some with this weatherfront, slowly sinking its way south and west today. To the north of that front, we have got a few more isobars on the chart, that is where the strongest of the winds are going to be, gusts perhaps in the sharper showers of 30 to a0 mph. So we have seen some Weather Watcher pictures sent in showers. This was edinburgh just a few hours ago. And you can see how extensive the cloud and the showers are, not too intense at the moment but there is a Rash Driving in off the North Sea Coast and they will filter a little bit further west. Now, there is a decent break in the clouds through bristol over towards suffolk, that is where the best of the sunshine is likely to be. Those showers continuing through this afternoon, maybe one or two heavier ones with the Odd Rumble of Thunder And Hail mix in there. So the best of the sunshine, obviously, brings the best of the warmth, 16 degrees. But on that North East exposed coast, once again, the Temperature Struggling, 7 9 celsius. These temperatures generally down on where they should be For this time of year. Now, our showers and our cloud sink their way steadily south through the night tonight. Some clearer skies in scotland and that is where we will see the lowest of the temperatures, but still holding up above freezing quite widely across the country. So not quite as chilly a start to wednesday morning, but once again there is going to be some cloud and some showers around. This time that front will be sitting through central and southern wales, along with the midlands and down across the South Coast. The isobars open up further north. That means that lighter winds, but that could mean that some of those Showers Mayjust linger across the far North East of scotland. So, nevertheless, it could be a little bit disappointing tomorrow and those Temperature Struggling, again For this time of year, way below par. We are going to see a maximum of 8 1a celsius. As we move out of wednesday and into thursday, we even start to lose some of that warmth into the south East Corner as the colder air starts to sink its way south, so once again, the british isles is underneath that blue, the cooler air mass. And that has an impact to the feel of the weather, particularly out to the east. There will be some showers, a Cool North to North Easterly breeze, meaning Temperature Struggling to get into double figures. So thereFore the best of the sunshine and the best of the warmth, even though it will be a little bit disappointing, will certainly be further west. Take care. This is Bbc News. Im clive myrie.
