right for me 18 years ago, doesn't mean it can't be improved. i will say to the government, as well as responding to what we ought to have done on wednesday, which is the point of this debate, i'd like to hearfrom the government point of this debate, i'd like to hear from the government how they'll respond to lord evans's report which came out this week which has four and a half pages of recommendations. this afternoon is not the time to go through those, but we ought to have a coherent approach which helps to ratchet up our observance of standards and recognition of standards, and i think the only thing i'll say on people who have introduced the question of whether mps should have outside jobs introduced the question of whether mps should have outsidejobs — introduced the question of whether mps should have outside jobs — we do have 100 or so who are ministers that have an extra job as well as being a member of parliament. i often remember democrat say peter thurman, who became redundant, stuck his business, should he have had to give up his writing of royalties when he was here? i think we should take great care of that. but i do believe that any member of parliament who declares outside earnings should do it notjust in writing, but face—to—face with the registrar and explain what they are doing, and can be reminded of what the limits are of what they do. because the one thing i would say to the face of my former colleague is at the one thing we know, if we take on a consultancy with a business, we cannot do anything which could be interpreted as lobbying or in the interest of that business. that's the only thing we can say — i'll give way wants. ido i do declare small earnings as a musician outside of this house. isn't there an additional point perhaps that ought to be part of this debate that we can add to the list, the excellent list that the date of the opposition put forward, and that's is around public appointments. it is no real concern at the government's attitude to public appointments is straying away from the row is overseen by the commissioner for public appointments, in commissionerfor public appointments, in particular with the forthcoming appointment of the chair of ofcom, read the whole process has been redone, truncated, and quite frankly there are submissions and it's been tricked up to favour a particular candidate. —— suspicions. if i was asked with paul is the right percentage share of comb, ever say no, but i haven't been asked. —— right person to chair ofcom. i believe the present system can work if we can't make it work. i think those of us if either others who have taken a different route to the propriety of last week it was simply trying to put in motion procedures to change the way that mps are policed. regarding their standards and code of conduct. that was a mistake of owen patterson specifically. but a change in the rules is still needed. let's talk to our political correspondent, jonathan blake. intense pressure and criticism on the prime minister from the opposition benches during that debate, which is still got a couple hours to proceed, and he is actually not in the house to take part in this debate. not in the house to take part in this debate-— not in the house to take part in this debate. ~ , , this debate. the prime minister is not in the commons, _ this debate. the prime minister is not in the commons, but - this debate. the prime minister is not in the commons, but that - this debate. the prime minister is l not in the commons, but that didn't stop sir keir starmer. offering some pretty heavy criticism of him in the government's actions last week. responding for the government, but even before this debate got under way, lindsay hoyle, who had his essay before the debate began saying it was time to find an alternative way forward. it was time to see parliament at its best having seen it last week. he said it was his hope that after this debate, parliament will be clearer about the way forward. wendy chamberlain then opened proceedings in the commons, criticising the prime minister for not being there. she talked about the actions here at westminster last week being more appropriate for the russia or chinese parliament, and she criticised the government for rotten behaviour. responding, the chancellor on the front bench for the government offered regret for the government offered regret for the way ministers had gone about things last week. the the way ministers had gone about things last week. the way ministers had gone about thins last week. ,., ., , things last week. the government has been listening — things last week. the government has been listening carefully _ things last week. the government has been

patterson's pending suspension and has set up a new committee. the fallout from that was objection on behalf of the opposition parties who wear effectively by the whole process there was no detail about the government may try to do next air apart from having cross party discussions. secure cara starmer then gave his response for the labour party, accusing, again, the government of rotten behaviour. this wasn't a government of rotten behaviour. ti 3 wasn't a tactical mistake, and innocent misjudgment swiftly corrected by a u—turn, it was the prime minister's way of doing business. a pattern of behaviour when the prime minister's adviser and the ministerial code found against the home secretary, the prime minister kept the home secretary and forced out the adviser. the electoral commission investigated the conservative party, the promised or threatened to shut it down. when they looked into the premise or�*s donations, the prime minister tried to take her down. government

is effectively a talking l debate is effectively a talking shop. it will not amount to any substantive elderly to any immediate... immediate action there are a couple of pressing questions in the short term that politicians that part of the many needs to address and we had them talking but that's in the last two minutes, namely what to do about that now seems to be completely void and without purpose, and also whether the particularly the labour benches give a suspension of owen patterson should actually be while he has since resigned as an mp, some people feel it is important to be seen as having voted in favour of that sanction and punishment for the breach of the rules which he was found to have committed. beyond that, bigger questions that we have heard about whether np should have second jobs, heard about whether np should have secondjobs, how heard about whether np should have second jobs, how much money they should be allowed to earn, but that they should have a right of appeal and more input into disciplinary procedures against them when they happen. but those are tricky questions for parliament to get to grips with, and it will be with some cross party talks, when and if they happen in the days and weeks ahead that lead to any possible reform of the change of the system as it is stop byjonathan, thank you. jonathan live from westminster. let's talk now to

forjoining us. i don't know if you have just heard jonathan blake there summing up the events in the commons today. suggesting that it was a bit of a talking shop, that it's not actually going to lead anywhere. why did your party call for this emergency debate, and what were you hoping to get out of it?— get out of it? well, liberal democrats _ get out of it? well, liberal democrats wanted - get out of it? well, liberal democrats wanted to - get out of it? well, liberal democrats wanted to hold j get out of it? well, liberal - democrats wanted to hold the government to account. adding parliamentarians across the parties were actually really shocked at the shameful way to prime minister behaved last week, trying to undermine the anti— sleaze, the standards process in the house of commons to save one of their own friends. i think we need to find a way of moving forward cross party to clear all of this up. and that is why we have been calling for independent public inquiry into all the recent allegations around sleaze and corruption. the ones that relate to the breach of the rules by owen patterson, but also the way the promise to behave. i have to say that i agree with care starmer —— kier starmer in his speech to the house today. this government is acting in a very corrupt way. it's trying to undermine any of the normal way is that a government is held to account. it's challenging any challenge to itself by trying to undermine systems, for example, the commission on standards. for example, the independent adviser on ministerial standards committee electoral commission. there is a long charge sheet against this government can and we need, as parliament to hold the government to account to save what is so important about our parliamentary democracy. do you believe that inquiry should look into what is or it shouldn't be permissible for an mp to be able to engage an outside the job that they do in their constituency and in the house? �* , ., , _ ., ., ., house? i'm very happy for all of that to be _ house? i'm very happy for all of that to be looked _ house? i'm very happy for all of that to be looked at. _ house? i'm very happy for all of that to be looked at. it - house? i'm very happy for all of that to be looked at. it does - that to be looked at. it does need to be quite a wide inquiry in that a view of the liberal democrats. we need to look at ministerial standards and mp standards. we need to make sure that the systems are truly independent and have tea, and they cannot be got to act by the prime minister of the day. one of the suspicions about all of this is that the prime minister himself has many questions to answer about his holiday, about the decoration and number ten, there redecoration of his flats. it's almost as if he was trying to stop the process in its tracks and that it could be applied to him. so i'm absolutely up for all aspects of the way mps and ministers are being enumerated and their actions held to account. it needs to be a full proper public inquiry. fl preper--- in _ be a full proper public inquiry. fl proper... in order— be a full proper public inquiry. fl proper... in order to _ be a full

inquiry. so, - is done properly. ok, i follow. proper public inquiry. so, should that then look into whether or not there are potential conflicts of interest for mps, members of parliament, who engage in consultancy work like yourself? . the current rules ensure that mps have to be transparent. i'm very transparent about what i do. and if you abide by the rules, there is no conflict of interest. what happened last week was owen patterson was found by the independent standards process of the house of commons, not to have abided by the rules. if those rules need tightening, absolutely, let's tighten them. could that mean that paid consultancy work is banned? if that's what comes out of the review, i'm fine with that. i would say for my own part is the work i do is particularly related to helping me support my sign. i've got a severely disabled son. he needs 20 47 care, and in order to do myjob, i need to make sure there are carers there, and it is part of the reason, actually, my experience of looking after my sign and understanding how expensive that all is that i'm campaigning on carers in general. there are a lot of your viewers who will not be as lucky as an mp and someone like myself to be able to support their children. that really worries me. i think we need as a country to be far more generous to those families who are carers looking after loved ones unpaid and the impact it has on families and their health. {th unpaid and the impact it has on families and their health. of corus, and our families and their health. of corus, and your work— families and their

scope for corruption. that does leave scope for an abuse of the rules. shouldn't you now despite your own personal predicament to be saying that the suggestion that mps should be allowed to have a second job, that should be taken off the table, that should be taken off the table, that in fact, that should be banned and stopped for now. the issue that ou raise and stopped for now. the issue that you raise is — and stopped for now. the issue that you raise is an _ and stopped for now. the issue that you raise is an important _ and stopped for now. the issue that you raise is an important one - you raise is an important one commits to make sure there are no conflicts of interest. that there is no lobbying in the way that we saw from owen patterson, and however the rules are developed in the future, i am very keen to make sure they are as tight as possible on those issues. it will be completely wrong if mps are using positions that they hauled outside and then bringing them into public policy and trying to find favour for the companies they work for. that is wrong, it is forbidden, quite rightly, and at those rules need tightening in the wake of the owen patterson can't scandal, let's tighten them. where do ou scandal, let's tighten them. where do you draw _ scandal, let's tighten them. where do you draw the — scandal, let's tighten them. where do you draw the line? _ scandal, let's tighten them. where do you draw the line? and - do you draw the line? and ultimately, who decides where that line should be drawn? is the mps themselves who we had the spectacle that the public would've as really quite unbelievable last week of a person who was found to have broken the rules being able to vote on changes to those very roles. i totally agree with you. that should be banned. if you are under investigation yourself, you should not be allowed to vote on these matters. that is a clear improvement that should've happened as soon as possible. what i'm saying is in order to get to bottom of this, let's have an independent public inquiry. let's do it properly. let's get to grips with this once and for all and the recommendations from that independent public inquiry i, and i'm sure many other mps from all parties, would support. and then to make... to answer your second question about who should make sure these are in forest, it has to be an independent person with statutory powers to force them. let me give you one classic example that cuts right to the door of number 10. the former independent advice on ministerial standards recommended after investigation aimed at the home secretary should be sanctioned because she had believed her officials. the prime minister refused to take over that recommendation, protected pretty patel and alex allen then resigned. when you have independent inquiries that go to the door right at the top of governments and then they are ignored commit brings politics into disrepute, so what liberal democrats are calling for as let's have stronger rules, let's have independent systems that the prime minister and is of the type of politics, the top of parliament cannot wriggle out of them. that's why we need that strong public inquiry that liberal democrats are championing and why we need to make sure that their independent watchdogs that have real teeth so that they can bring governments like the

are not normally left, so the governments, whether it's number ten, the leader of the house where the chief went to have some serious questions to answer because they behaved shockingly last week. i'm glad there's been an apology, but i think some people at the type of government need to be held to account, that's what liberal democrats are trying to do in parliament today. idale democrats are trying to do in parliament today. we believe that their ost parliament today. we believe that their post many — parliament today. we believe that their post many thanks _ parliament today. we believe

admitted sexually abusing at least 100 female corpses in two morgues. here is some of what sajid javid had to say in the commons earlier. the inquiry will look into the circumstances surrounding the offence is committed at the hospital and their national implications. it will help us understand how these offences took place without detection in that trust. identify any areas where early action by this trust was necessary, and then consider wider national issues, including for the nhs. our health correspondent catherine burns is with me now. cell, inquiry? yes, it will be split into two stages.

club handled its inquiry into accusations of racism against him. lord kamlesh patel praised mr rafiq for his bravery in speaking out, and said the way the investigation was handled was flawed. here's some of what he said during a press conference in the past hour. this has been the painful and difficult period for yorkshire county cricket club, and all those associated with it. i think azeem rafik for his bravery in speaking out. he is a whistle—blower and should be praised as such. they should be praised as such. they should have never been put through this. —— azeem rafiq. and i would like to apologise to him. we are sorry for what you and your family experienced and the way in which we have handled this. what happened to you must never happen again to anyone. as an outsider coming into this situation, it is clear to me that we have handled this issue badly and the investigation was supplied. we need to learn from our mistakes and ensure the right people in place and ensure that we do better. normally, in terms of the real issues of racism or discrimination, but also how as a club we deal with issues that arise going forward. clearly there is a problem. and if this club is institutionally racist and how i can address that. well this afternoon azeem rafiq posted a statement on twitter. in it, it says... delegates at the climate change conference, cop26, will today be discussing ways to adapt to the impact of changing weather patterns brought on by climate change. it's something the residents of fishlake in south yorkshire know all about. in november 2019, 90% of the homes in the village were innundated with dirty flood water after the river don burst its banks following days of heavy rain. some have only recently been able to get back to their homes. let's talk to simon king who's there. thank you, clyde, i am thank you, clyde, iam in thank you, clyde, i am in fish lake which acted as a community hub for when this the lady started flooding two years ago today. now, what happened at fish lake, well, we had a slow—moving weather system which brought about a month's a slow—moving weather system which brought about a months worth of rain fall in about 24 hours. that was after what was a very wet period from september to november, and you can see from this map here from the humberto the chef failed, there was around about six months of rain falling in and around about a six—week period. so the river was completely saturated, so extra rainfalljust meant completely saturated, so extra rainfall just meant that completely saturated, so extra rainfalljust meant that it burst its banks. now, we already seeing the consequences of a six week period. so the river was completely saturated, so extra rainfalljust meant that it burst its banks. now, we are already seeing the consequences of changing climate in the uk, six of the ten wettest years have occurred since 1998. the signs, the physics is very clear. every1 c in warming and global temperatures where likely to see a 7% increase in water vapour in the so frequent flooding is a possibility going into the future. and as i said, i am here at the church which acted as a community hub. it was absolutely packed year after the flooding with lots of donations from local communities and there is a real community spirit around this area. i've been talking to people all day about the flooding here in fish lake and how we can adapt going forward. i'm joined by peter who is a flood working during that time. peter, thank you forjoining us. quickly tell us what is the role of a flood

front line of global warming. our role is much the same, we are reporting to two agency still who are out there with the benefit of all the work that has been done by the environment agency and by the local counsel, they have put a tremendous amount of reckoning, for instance, the environment agency, £3,000,000 on the defences to the all barrier banks in the village. i have been speaking stay with other residents and a real community spirit around this area, and as a resident of fish lake camino, it seems that that's what people need to do in the future, be more resilient to climate change and the impact of flooding stapley the community spirit has been incredible and it was incredible on the night in the following days, but the floodwater stays in the village for a long time because of its

dozens of countries, including the uk, for the first time since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. flights resumed this morning and in the last hour there have been some tearful reunions at new york'sjfk airport, as passengers landed. cheering flight and ground crew welcomed the first arrivals with applause and cheers. airline bosses are warning there may be some delays while paperwork and vaccination certifications are checked, but hopefully that won't dampen the spirits of those meeting loved ones. now it's time for a look at the weather with susan powell. very good evening, thank you clive. it's pretty quiet, but with beautiful sunsets lifting its way south across the uk. a weather front that will usher some rain into scotland. across eastern england, the southerly wind will feed and some warmer air... cooler than parts of scotland. we start green in the east and yellow by the morning. temperatures in double figures across the uk, it will be a mild story to start us off on tuesday. that weather front is still there and it needs more rain this time for northern england and wales. thicker cloud drifting further south through the day. temperatures above average across much of england and wales. further north, brighter skies coming out across scotland and northern ireland. relatively mild. figure lease quality showers. hello, this is bbc news with clive myrie. the headlines... mps at westminster debate parliamentary standards, with the commons speaker saying party political sniping must be toned down, so work can be done to make the system, done to make the system as effective as it can be. the health secretary has announced an independent inquiry into how a man was able to abuse more than a hundred female corpses in hospital mortuaries. the new chairman of yorkshire county cricket club has said the investigation into racism towards its former player, azeem rafiq was handled badly and that they must do better in future. and families across the atlantic are reunited as the us opens its borders to fully vaccinated travellers for the first time in over a year and a half. now, time for a bit of sports news from the bbc sport centre. here's a sarah. the new chair of yorkshire county cricket club says azeem rafiq should be praised for his bravery and said the player should never have been put through the racism scandal that has engulfed the club. lord patel was speaking for the first time since being appointed on friday, after the resignation of roger hutton. the club has come in for widespread criticism over their handling of a report that found rafiq was a victim of racial harassment and bullying while at yorkshire, but the club said it would not discipline anyone. this has been a painful and difficult period for our club and all those associated with it. i thank azeem rafiq for his bravery and speaking out. he is a whistle—blower and should be praised as such, but it should never have been put through this —— he should. i'd like to apologise to him. we are sorry for what your family experienced in the way in which we've handled this. what happened to you must never happen again. at that press conference, lord patel indicated four immediate steps that would be taken by the club. they would settle the employment tribunal with rafiq. lord patel also confirmed that it would not include a non—disclosure agreement, as the club had previously requested. set up an independent whistle—blowing hotline for others to come forward. commission a review of processes and procedures on diversity and inclusion at yorkshire. and share the full report with parties who have a "legal interest", including rafiq's lawyers, the ecb and mps. azeem rafiq has issued a lengthy statement thanking all those who have supported him. he thanked lord patel for, in his word, making the offer and sorting this out within 72 hours of his appointment. it should not have taken the rest of the club a year to realise i would not be silenced through an nda." he went on to add... and he also added that.... more on that story on the bbc sport website. former bournemouth manager eddie howe has been confirmed as newcastle's new head coach. the club announced the news on social media, loving the chance for a play on his name. howe succeeds steve bruce, who left the club by mutual consent, following the saudi—backed takeover of the club last month. and here is eddie howe in the stands, watching newcastle earn a crucial point at brighton at the weekend. he sat next to the clubs new co—owner amanda staveley. they are 19th in the table, five points from safety after 11 games. arsenal's emile smith rowe has been called up to the senior england men's squad for the first time — as marcus rashford, james ward—prowse, mason mount and luke shaw pulled out with injury and illness. smith rowe was due to join the under 21's squad, but has now met the rest of the squad at st george's park, as gareth southgate's men begin preparations for their world cup qualifiers against albania and san marino. all the foster will be here at 6.30 fred sports the. —— for sportsday. the health secretary has announced an independent investigation into the case of a hospital electrician who accessed mortuaries and sexually abused around 100 bodies. david fullerfrom east sussex is currently awaiting sentencing for the offences, as well as the murders of wendy knell and caroline pierce in 1987. i'm joined now by shaun lintern, health correspondent at the independent, who has been following this story and looking into security breaches at nhs mortuaries. thanks forjoining us on bbc news. the suggestion is, no matter how awful and depraved this has been given that it's around about 100 bodies that potentially have been defiled, it could

areas such as undertakers, i think there is some concern out there that this may be happening or may have happened in other cases. we don't know that and we have to be clear that these actions are truly horrific and rare, but they do raise questions about the security of these kinds of places. the security of these kinds of laces. ., , . ., , , ., places. so, to be clear, this is not something

never heard of anything as awful as this. but we found out, we published on friday data from the human authority of 30 very serious security breaches of nhs mortuaries over the last five years where the investigation reports concluded with results which showed unauthorised people gaining entry into nhs mortuaries. so we know that whilst no one was doing what david fuller was doing, there are still security questions around these very sensitive locations in hospitals. very recently, the nhs road out to all hospitals to tell them to improve their security measures and have swipe cards and cctv coverage, etc. so there are concerns about this and i think they're being taken seriously at the highest level of government, which is what we seen in parliament today being discussed. what was the nature of the breaches you've come across? it’s what was the nature of the breaches you've come across?— you've come across? it's very difficult to — you've come across? it's very difficult to get _ you've come across? it's very difficult to get those - you've come across? it's very difficult to get those details l you've come across? it's very| difficult to get those details at the moment. we are pursuing that, but what we do know is there were 30 instances where someone who should not have had access to the mortuaries were able to get into the locations where bodies were stored and where postmortems were being carried out, and they shouldn't have been there. clearly, security lapses are very serious. they include people without the swipe cards and the staff access, so i think in any of these hospitals, they naturally are going to be re—examining their protocols at the moment to ensure that only people who should be there are getting in there, and we have to wait for the inquiry to see exactly how david fuller was able to take advantage of the security lapses and the kids hospitals. but there will be lots of managers around this wondering where they can have a problem —— kent hospital. ithink wondering where they can have a problem —— kent hospital. i think a lot of what we are discussing is reassuring people that david fuller was a one—off. i think when you start seeing dozens of security breaches in mortuaries across the country, that does raise some questions. country, that does raise some questions-— country, that does raise some cuestions. ,, ., ., , ., questions. indeed. sean, many thanks for that. the bbc has learned that more than 250 people, mostly women, have applied to give evidence to a parliamentary inquiry into historical forced adoptions. the inquiry, which will examine why thousands of pregnant, unmarried women were pressured into giving up their babies in post war years, was prompted by a series of reports on bbc news. our correspondent, duncan kennedy, has been to meet two of the women who hope to tell their stories to the inquiry, which is due to start later this year. it haunts you. it's like a death, really. it

joining me now is the conservative peer lord deben, who chairs the uk's independent committee on climate change. he is also a former uk environment secretary. hello to you. thanks for being with us. are you convinced that the uk can meet its commitments in terms of cutting greenhouse gases? yes. can meet its commitments in terms of cutting greenhouse gases?— cutting greenhouse gases? yes, we have

cutting greenhouse gases? yes, we have worked extremely hard in the | have worked extremely hard in the committee to show first of all that we can reach it. secondly, we can reach them by 2050, and we can do it at a cost which is less than 1% of our gross national product every year. it's a tough operation, but it's perfectly possible, and what the government needs to do is make sure that the cost of that transition from where we are to where we have to be doesn't fall unfairly on some people. iloathed where we have to be doesn't fall unfairly on some people. what do the have unfairly on some people. what do they have the _ unfairly on some people. what do they have the money _ unfairly on some people. what do they have the money in _ unfairly on some people. what do they have the money in

this is well within our ability. i this is well within our ability. most of it will be paid for by the private sector and most of the private sector and most of the private sector and most of the private sector will do better because of sensibly dealing with climate change. what we have to do is have the policies which make it possible for those people who are affected by this to be protected, and they can make the choices which we're all going to have to make. choices that we will all have to make, i don't know if you're aware of this latest poll that suggests that while there is widespread support for tackling climate change? the kind of lip measures that might be involved in dealing with it and the personal sacrifices that households might have to make, that is something that is a little bit unpalatable for many people. first of all, unpalatable for many people. first of all. there _ unpalatable for many people. first of all, there have _ unpalatable for many people. if “sf of all, there have been a lot of fearmongering by people who have tried to make much of it because they don't really believe in climate change, so they're using these excuses. so, i'm not surprised that the result... what most people do is gradually. we will replace, we replace a motor car, we will need to buy an electric one, but by the time that happens to most, the prices will have fallen and the cost of running an electric car is very much lower. the same is true about the way in which we heat our homes. it changes —— the changes will make it possible for people to buy within their own means and the cost of buying thereafter because you're not using fossil fuels and using cheaper renewables. it's perfectly possible and we shouldn't frighten people, but we have to do it because it's very much worse if we don't. the cost to all of us if we allow this global heating to go on as it is, the cost to all of us in terms of flooding and the loss of livelihood, in terms of loss ofjobs, is going to be very much more expensive than anything we do to fight climate change. anything we do to fight climate chan . e. . . anything we do to fight climate chan . e. , ., , ,

earth. we have it time to wait. we have to get on with it now, and those who can have got to change now and the government has got to make that as possible as it can. we have to help poor countries to make that move before they become dirty countries. all that has to be done, but we've all got to get on with it and we mustn't frighten people as some are doing. we mustn't frighten people. the cost is well within our ability. in the end, we have a greener, cleaner and kinder world. in the end, we have a greener, cleanerand kinderworld. in cleaner and kinder world. in fighting cleanerand

afghanistan. the wfp is warning that around the world 45 million people are on the edge of starvation in more than 40 countries — and in afghanistan, millions are in danger if there isn't more outside help. our world affairs editor, john simpson, reports from the afghan city of bamiyan. winter's coming, and it looks like being a bad one. the camels are on the move to warmer areas. we're heading west, out of kabul, through the taliban road blocks. it's not long before we reach the snow. in this district, food aid is being distributed. flour to make bread. everyone here knows that things are likely to get really bad in a few weeks. "there's a real possibly we'll be frozen this winter," this man tells me. these people are so poor they can't afford to buy food orfuel for heating. a humanitarian disaster could bring the taliban down, so they're cooperating with the international aid agencies, even if they don't like them. the head of the world food programme, visiting kabul, doesn't mince his words. the winter months are coming, we're coming out of a drought. the next six months are going to be catastrophic, it is going to be hell on earth. we reach bamiyan, an agricultural centre, which has been hit by drought, like many other parts of afghanistan. and of course, there was an infamous taliban crime here. a couple of hundred yards along the cliff from the place where the statues of the buddhas used to stand, until the taliban destroyed them, a woman called fatima lives. she's a widow, raising her seven friendly, intelligent children on her own. before the taliban took over, she got by with occasional food aid and the money she and her eldest boy earned from weeding the fields and herding sheep. but the drought has put an end to all that and food aid doesn't reach here. within weeks, they could all be starving. some women sell their daughters for marriage, i say, would she? "if it was absolutely necessary to keep everyone alive", she answers, but she'd hate it. listening to all this, it was hard not think of your own family. that's a response which david beasley of the world food programme wants the rich and powerful of the world wants to adopt. imagine if this was your little girl or boy or your grandchild, about to starve to death, you would do everything you possibly could. and when there's $400 trillion worth of wealth on the earth, shame on us that we let any child die from hunger. fatima's children leave for school, those who are allowed to go, like millions in this country, their lives are under real threat. the next few months will decide. john simpson reporting there. now — the heroic story of one man and his dog. a life size bronze statue of a world war two lance corporal, jimmy muldoon, and his dog khan, who saved his life, has been unveiled. people in south lanarkshire, where the inseparable pair of wartime heroes lived, wanted to pay tribute to their bravery. aileen clarke has more. togetherforever in bronze, lance corporaljimmy muldoon and his dog, khan the german shepherd, who served alongside him and saved the soldier's life. in 1944, they were thrown into the sea and jimmy was in trouble. as they approached the island it got bombarded and sank and it left everybody in the water. the dog managed to get to shore, but there was no handler with it, but he could hear the handler in the water, my father, so he ran down and jumped back in, got him by the scruff of the neck and pulled him out. i think it was about 200 yards from shore. after the war, khan had to be returned to his owners. he was awarded the animal's victorian cross and jimmy went to the ceremony. there was that much affection between them that they decided to take him home. he has been rewarded as a local hero. in the strathaven butcher shop, they allocated him meat free of charge, so he was well looked after. what do you think your father would make of that? he would be over the moon. it is going to be a strange feeling heading to the pub and having him there watching me from a statue. it is going to be very strange. aileen clarke, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with louise. —— susan. it's pretty quiet out there and for much of this week, the letter pattern isn't doing anything very dramatic. we've seen some lovely sunsets across the uk. there is more cloud to the northwest of the uk at the moment, and our satellite pictures show you these stripes. it's going to push into scotland and northern ireland overnight. patchy light rain at the moment working its way across northern england. that will tend to clear off into the north sea. what is overnight will be in southern scotland and northern ireland. —— whitest. it's going to be for much of england and wales, temperatures 12, maybe 13 degrees, and a little cooler to the north of the band of rain across scotland. there's our front on tuesdayjust slowly making its way south across the uk. because it's making its way slowly, it does mean the rain possibly will set in for much of the day across some parts of northern england, particularly the northwest and north of wales. to the south, cloud coming and going, but could be some very decent amount of sunshine. to the north, sunshine as well. some sharper showers through the afternoon on a strengthening wind. 16 degrees on the mild site and southeast of england. as promised, not a lot happens this week in terms of the weather story. the front is still sneaking away to the south into one day. —— wednesday. it is brighter for the into one day. —— wednesday. it is brighterfor the north, a few showers for western scotland, but still very much on the mild side for the time of year. temperatures getting up into the mid—teens. look ahead to the end of the week, and things may get laura lively. out in the atlantic, we have something cold hurricane wanda. this will be left over. deep area of low pressure moving across the uk on friday, so we could be ending the week with some very strong winds and quite a dramatic picture to what we have now. there's also the potential for some rather heavy rain. all pretty quiet in the days ahead, and towards the end of the week, much livelier for friday. look ahead to the weekend and it looks like these will return once more. the prime minister is accused of corruption and trashing democracy as mps debate parliamentary standards. it follows the row about the former tory mp owen paterson after the government tried to block his suspension and overturn the rules last week. borisjohnson is attacked by the labour leader for not turning up to take part in the debate. he does not even have the decency to come here, either to defend what he did or to apologise for his action. i would like first and foremost to express my regret and that of my ministerial colleagues over the mistake made last week. the prime minister says he is unavailable to attend the debate which is still going on, we'll bring you the latest. also tonight: the new head of yorkshire county cricket says the investigation into racism at the club was badly handled and seismic
