prince andrew will face a civil trial in the united states over accusations of sexual assault. a new yorkjudge ruled his attempt to dismiss it was without merit. tonight with the context, daily mail columnist sarah vine and the political editor of the daily mirror, pippa crerar. hello, a warm welcome. for the first time, borisjohnson has admitted he did attend a downing st party during last years lockdown. and, for the first time, the leader of the opposition has called on him to resign. the prime minister urged all sides to await the findings of an internal inquiry led by the senior civil servant sue gray. but as far as lawbreaking goes, many would say he has already admitted, that his advisers — if not the prime minister himself — were in breach of laws, that many others have been fined for breaking. i thought it was a work event and, mr speaker, i regret very much that we did not do things differently that evening and, mr speaker, as i said, i take full responsibility and apologise, mr speaker. where that leaves the prime minister tonight, we will discuss in the next half hour — suffice to say, there are a number of conservative mp�*s now publically calling on him to go. in the next half hour — suffice to say, there are a number of conservative mp�*s now publically calling on him to go. we have the prime minister attending down parties in clear breach of rules —

reading your column, i'll put the headline up... where you so angry?— i'll put the headline up... where you so angry? well, number one, because it — you so angry? well, number one, because it was _ you so angry? well, number one, because it wasjust _ you so angry? well, number one, because it was just unnecessary l you so angry? well, number one, i because it wasjust unnecessary and because it was just unnecessary and stupid. nobody was having parties then, it wasn't what anyone was doing, and people were having a rough time. in the rules were so complicated and difficult, and confusing — there was a bit of insanity around at the time, everyone was just insanity around at the time, everyone wasjust under insanity around at the time, everyone was just under so much stress. so the idea that you'd have a bit of a party seemed kind of odd. but also, i think that in the wider sense, it's very frustrating because it almost eclipses all the good stuff that boris johnson has it almost eclipses all the good stuff that borisjohnson has done, in terms of the vaccine roll—out and getting us through this crisis. because now, he'll be remembered— he threw that all away for what, a couple glasses of warm white wine and nibbles? it'sjust infantile. does it go deeper than that? i want to spell this out for our world viewers, because they may not know your relationship to your now x democrat ex—husband, michael gove, who was at the time the cabinet secretary and he was setting rules and emphasising to all of us how important those rules were. given you were locked down with him and seeing first—hand the pressure and stress he was probably under, does it make you more angry? i stress he was probably under, does it make you more angry?— stress he was probably under, does it make you more angry? i mean, none of us left the — it make you more angry? i mean, none of us left the house _ it make you more angry? i mean, none of us left the house practically, - of us left the house practically, and he was here all the time, they were working constantly, seven days a week, and lists virtual calls, these terrible figures coming out, really scary stuff. i'm not dominic cummings, iwill get really scary stuff. i'm not dominic cummings, i will get you —— won't give you all the inside stuff. i just don't understand at one point anyone at number ten thought it would be ok to bend the rules for themselves? because the reason the rules are so strict was because there was a real fear that this thing could be completely out of control. i remember matt hancock talking about bodies piling up in the streets. they were really worried it was going to be a very serious catastrophe, and they felt they had no choice but to do this. i just don't understand — i saw people working as hard as they could in a very difficult situation, and the prime minister really did nearly die of covid, and hejust prime minister really did nearly die of covid, and he just got straight back to work. they were very, very determined — and itjust feels so stupid to have thrown it all away like this. i think that's my major frustration, it's been my very odd, unique point of view. if it

conservative mps would send a letter to the chair of the 1922 committee, calling for the pm to stand aside. we don't know how many letters have been sent, but 54 would trigger a vote. this was the conservative mp sir roger gail talking to the bbc earlier today — he has already submitted his letter calling for the pm to resign. the prime minister's put us in an impossible position. he's asking us to believe that there was some sort of bring—a—bottle work party in downing street, and he was there for 25 minutes. at the despatch box on the 8th of december, he said there was no party. he misled the house. all of the responses i've received from my constituents have been negative. i'm afraid they've lost their faith in mrjohnson, theyjust don't believe any more. —— believe him any more. and i think we've now got to the stage where the 1922 committee has to intervene. let's bring in shailesh vara, conservative mp for north west cambridgeshire. welcome to the programme. have you

house later that day. what i can tell the right honourable gentleman is that all guidance was followed completely during number ten. a week laster, itv released a recording in which his advisers joked about a christmas party they had attended — and this was his response. i apologise... i apologise unreservedly for the defence democrat offence it has caused up and down the country, and i apologise for the impression that it gives. but i repeat, mr speaker, that i have been repeatedly assured since these allegations emerged that there was no party... and no covid rules were broken. and that is what i have been repeatedly assured. a few days later, he was asked about a picture taken on 15 may — in which he and his wife were at what looked liked a cheese and wine event. he said they were people at work, talking about work. here's the case for the defence. i'm not saying i believe it, but i know a little bit about the war and that is downing street, this war and of georgian shoe boxes where everyone is cramming together. if we think back to the end of april, everybody got covid in downing street. it was not a healthfully environment and the way to get out of that was to spill into the garden. you couldn't have a beer and a pub or at home with a friend, or on a park bench. you could probably have a beer while you were working with one of your work colleagues. is that what

the reason i put the question i did about whether or not borisjohnson knew he was at a party is because it comes down to the judgment. and i must ask you, because we've already talked about michael gove, everybody remembers backin michael gove, everybody remembers back in 2016 and the reason he didn't support him as prime minister was because, having consulting widely, he didn't feel that he had the ability to bring the party and the ability to bring the party and the country together. and there was a question mark over hisjudgment then. he's been very supportive tonight, if you look at the tweet tonight, if you look at the tweet tonight, in the 1922 committee, but i wonder privately whether he will think he'll be vindicated. i i wonder privately whether he will think he'll be vindicated.— think he'll be vindicated. i can't answer that _ think he'll be vindicated. i can't answer that question _ think he'll be vindicated. i can't answer that question because l think he'll be vindicated. i can't answer that question because i | think he'll be vindicated. i can't - answer that question because i don't live with him any more. but what i will say is that one of the big problems with this whole thing is that what effectively the prime minister is now asking us to do is to show him a bit of slack, to show some sympathy for his situation that existed at number ten at the time. the problem with that is that no one showed members of the public any sympathy. we had old ladies being interviewed by the police because they had a cup of tea on the wrong bench. we had people being fined for going for walks with their dogs in situations that seem to be completely ok. i can river sitting on a bench in the park in london, and some policeman coming up to me and bellowing at me and my megaphone —— in my ear with his megaphone that if i didn't get up, i would be arrested. this is the difficulty. you cannot expect the public to show you sympathy when actually, these rules were enforced in a very draconian way. so rules were enforced in a very draconian way.— rules were enforced in a very draconian way. rules were enforced in a very draconian wa . , ., ., .,

resign? no, i don't think is there yet. i - just said, should he resign? no, i don't think is there yet. i think i don't think is there yet. i think that there will be... the prime minister's main problem is dominic cummings, and his main mistake was to not secure dominic cummings�*s silence when he walked out of number ten. and the thing about cummings is that he is the master of guerrilla political warfare. and the context of the situation, boris is like a giant beast, and cummings is like a tiny little, very sharp toothed little mammal, and he'lljust keep on going. and he will bring him down, because that's what he wants to do. let's not forget what cummings is capable of in terms of persuasion. and i think that is a huge problem. i suspect the reckoning will be local elections in may. a lot will depend on that, i think. but the other thing to say is that the conservative party in general is nervous because they're looking down the line at the next general election, and they're just general election, and they�* re just wondering general election, and they're just wondering what christians will they be answering on the doorstep. and if this isn't cleared up, then i think it be sticky. this isn't cleared up, then i think it be sticky-— it be sticky. dominic cummings, revenue it be sticky. dominic cummings, revenge is a _ it be sticky. dominic cummings, revenge is

i think. on the evidence of today's performance in the house, borisjohnson is a political gambler tying his future as prime minister directly to the findings of the official inquiry, which will report next week. sir keir starmer reminded him several times that ministers who are found to have misled parliament are expected to resign. but mrjohnson is playing for time, which means a lot of pressure now falls on the shoulders of the civil servant overseeing the investigation. all of that, as you know, is the subject of a proper investigation by sue gray. so have you already been interviewed by sue gray — and, if not, do you object to to her questioning you again about this? all that's subject for an investigation by sue gray. it's absolutely right that the prime minister moved swiftly to commission that independent inquiry by miss gray. and all i ask is that sue gray be allowed to complete her inquiry into that day and several others so that the full facts can be established. let's bring in caroline slocock, the first woman to serve as a private secretary in number ten, working for two conservative prime ministers — margaret thatcher and john major. she is the first woman to hold that position. thanks for being with us. i read today that in the nineteen eighties, sue grey paused her stellar civil service career to buy a pub in ireland in the midst of the troubles. so that tells me she's no pushover, am i right? she troubles. so that tells me she's no pushover, am i right?— pushover, am i right? she could lavishly pull— pushover, am i right? she could lavishly pull a —

think she's even the best person, the best civil servant in this position who will really struggle with this particular task. because it is not the job of civil servants to embarrass their ministers. trio. to embarrass their ministers. no, she will be _ to embarrass their ministers. no, she will be aware _ to embarrass their ministers. no, she will be aware that she has the reputation of the prime

certainly an independent person, whether it's a judge or someone else, would have been better. and a natural person would have been the ministerial adviser —— adviser on ministerial standards. but he's already highlighted that his powers aren't strong enough, really, to look into the dealings of the prime minister, and he's holding out now for some better powers, statutory footing to initiate investigations, his report is being published promptly. so he's in trouble even when he's outside the civil service. sue grey is working for the prime minister, she's working for simon case, who had to recuse himself, and the prime minister — and her report and findings will certainly be pored over by those people, and they'll be given the opportunity to defend. it's very difficult for her, what will she do? her only tool really is to resign, which i think is very difficult. ~ ., ., ., difficult. we have to leave it there, thank _ difficult. we have to leave it there, thank you, _ difficult.

wasn't a bad day today. we saw quite a bit of sunshine around. there was more cloud around, though, across scotland, more of a breeze here as well. for the next few days, certainly for the foreseeable future, high pressure is going to dominate the scene, so we will see a lot of dry and settled weather, but frost and dense fog is going to become a problem over the next few days, especially across england and wales. the fog patches will start developing through the overnight period, more extensive than we had the last couple of nights, and it will be cold where skies are clear as well. generally a cold, frosty night across the south. further north, more of a breeze, more cloud. less cold here — temperatures maybe 3—7 celsius for stornoway. our area of high pressure is with us for thursday. you can see more isobars across the north of the country, so here it will remain breezy. but barely any wind further south. that fog to start with, could be really quite dense in places, could cause issues to travel, and some of it may even linger on throughout the whole day. should clear for many. we should see some sunshine here. another fine day for many places that see that sunshine. some sunshine for parts of northern ireland, cloudier, breezy conditions for the northwest of scotland. temperatures, double figure values in the north, around 6—8 celsius in the south, but where the fog lingers, struggling to get much above freezing. we can see those temperatures around the seasonal norm as we head on into friday, keeping the very cold weather out at bay, all thanks to this area of high pressure which is pretty much sitting across england and wales. again, with light winds, we're going to start with that mist and fog for friday morning, some of it really quite dense and quite extensive once again. a bit more cloud for scotland and northern ireland, but where the fog lifts for england and wales, we should see some sunshine breaking through and temperatures again 5—8 celsius. colder where the fog lingers, 10 degrees for the far northwest of scotland. fog may become a problem over the next few days, could be dense and stubborn to clear. likely cause some disruption to travel. so stay tuned to bbc local radio or subs weather forecasts. and then, into the weekend, largely fine and settled thanks to the high pressure. chance of a few showers. most places will stay dry. hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching context on bbc news — prince andrew faces a civil trial in the united states over accusations of sexual assault — after a judge refuses to dismiss it. virginia giuffree is suing the duke of york, claiming he abused her when she was 17 — allegations he strenuously denies. nato warns there's still a real risk of armed conflict in europe,

it ended up coming to an abrupt end. tonight with the context, daily mail columnist sarah vine and political editor of the daily mirror, pippa crerar. prince andrew will face a civil case in the united states over allegations he sexually assaulted a woman when she was 17. virginia giuffre is suing the prince, claiming he abused her in 2001. an allegation he has strenously denied. his lawyers had argued, the case in new york should be thrown out, citing a 2009 settlement which she signed with the convicted sex offenderjeffrey epstein. but today in a sternly worded 46—page ruling, thejudge lewis kaplan, said the earlier settlement did not apply to the duke and york and the defendents motion to dismiss the complaint. was denied in all respects. and so the prince is left with three options — he could settle out of court paying possibly a substantial sum of money without no admission of liability. he could default, ignore the case entirely and by default they would then find against him. or he could fight it out, but that would mean a deposition under oath, rival stories would be tested, and the matter eventually decided in open court. let's discuss what this all means for prince andrew and the case itself with moira penza, a former federal prosecutor, who also served in new york's eastern district. a new york's eastern district. settlement if i'm right to a

prudence andrew will have to sit for a deposition as well —— prince andrew. as well as michael whaen and other witnesses. there are very limited rules as to topics that are off limits. you basically can ask any question as long as it is not something that is covered by the attorney—client privilege. this is a really arduous process for litigants at this point. in addition were going to see document discovery, both sides requesting documents. there's going to be requests certainly for her medical records, travel records as well as other forms of written discovery. there's often a lot of litigation during this process where we may see filings from either side moving to compel the other side to do certain things or to prevent them from doing certain things. things or to prevent them

united states, ms. giuffre has laid out allegations that this did have a nexus to the southern district of new york where the case was being brought. certain actions did take place within new york and so that is why that's an appropriate venue here. and that would not... one of the basis of dismissing the case the question is, the queens going into the platinumjubilee. to question is, the queens

demands that russia put down for easing the tensions over ukraine. the meeting in brussels, the first of its kind in two years, ended without any agreements, but the alliance held out the offer of future talks on arms control, missile deployments and military exercises. there are concerns in europe that in setting unrealistic demands, russia is using these talks as a pretext for war. around 100,000 russian troops are still massed on the border with ukraine. on monday — in what was a strangely worded statement — the russian foreign ministry insisted there were no plans, no intentions to "attack" ukraine. attack was put in quotes. and it was pre—empted, with a list of demands. president putin wants nato to pull its forces out of the former soviet countries, and to rule out the possibility ukraine will everjoin the alliance. nato's secretary general says the two sides have significant differences, but the door remain open. it's not possible to say anything with certainty on the likelihood of conflict. what i do know is there's a real risk for renewed use of force against ukraine. that's exactly why the meeting today was important. because we believe in political path that we engage in good faith and sit down and ukraine to find a peaceful way forward. and ukraine to find a peaceful way forward. admiraljames stavridis is a retired united states navy admiral and joins us from jacksonville, florida. lovely to see you. essentially, russia was a veto on all nato's activities in europe, that's a nonstarter, quite plainly. so what we doinu nonstarter, quite

here? we are going to put a few things on the table. let's face it, this is a negotiation that is really more like a hostage situation in which ukraine is the hostage, russia has put a gun to the head of the hostage and says it will shoot the hostage and says it will shoot the hostage and says it will shoot the hostage unless we negotiate. so we are not to offer a heck of a lot on this one. i think your setup is correct was up there are some things we can discuss about exercises, balance on both sides of these borders, nato and russia's. about missile deployment, perhaps missile defence systems in eastern europe. there are some things that can be discussed. but yes, the idea of russia gaining a veto of a nato membership is preposterous. and it won't happen. the membership is preposterous.

course keeps the door open for other countries to join. the deputy secretary of state was asked about that today. this is what she said. collectively we are preparing for every eventuality. we have made it clear and we told the russians directly again today, that if russia further invades ukraine there will be significant costs and consequences well beyond what they faced in 2014. did given assurance to ukraine and georgia but in 2008 that they would be able to join nato. no georgia but in 2008 that they would be able tojoin nato. no one really think that's a good idea. but no it's good

written down. butl white, are they a? i don't think. you'll see it written down. but the real issue here, by the way you mentioned the nato treaty, i encourage viewers to actually read it. it's only 14 articles long, it's 28 sentences long, it's eight model of elegance and sensibility. and it maintains an open door. i would say what vladimir putin is doing here is a real strategic failure on his part as follows — the more he pushes honest i think the more likely it is that ultimately ukraine and georgia may have a path to membership. but i'll tell you it's quite interesting to me is what our opinion to finland and sweden going to do? for both of where we see polls, those two nations joining where we see polls, those two nationsjoining nato. so vladimir putin may end up with a much more worse situation that he started. i think we have a map of nato's positions in europe which is worth looking at. it shows you how big nato's footprint is across the continent. i guess these baltic states that were looking at, they're not there to be in support of nato pulling back from the front here when there's 100,000 troops on ukraine's border. when there's100,000 troops on ukraine's

as a strategist here. he's going to push more nations into the alliance, ischemic create alliance solidarity. ultimately, if he invades ukraine you watch those nato forces load up on his borders, exactly what he doesn't want. the de - u exactly what he doesn't want. the deputy foreign minister of russia did speak after they left brussels today, he looks at that map and he says nato is all about threatening russia. translation: the main task of nato policy and military i deployment is to deter russia. and enormous resources are being allocated for this purpose. they don't conceal that this is the alliances main purpose. from its always been that way, hasn't it? this was established pretty much after the fall of the soviet union. is the footprint of nato any bigger than it was at the end of the war?— end of the war? slightly. we've added a few _ end of the war? slightly. we've added a few nations _ end of the war? slightly. we've added a few nations in - end of the war? slightly. we've added a few nations in the - end of the war? slightly. we've - added a few nations in the balkans. not exactly powerhouses but montenegro, north macedonia have joined. here's the point, for the russians to say they are threatened by nato when they are the ones who have invaded georgia, invaded ukraine in 2014, they hold a chunk of a small country called mould over, they are the ones who are consistently sending their troops into other nations often without consent. so i think the history here pretty much favours the nato position which is, we are not here to invade you but you are showing us a propensity to do so therefore we have to be prepared.— have to be prepared. thank you for cominu onto the program. standoff. but there may be help at hand because liz truss,

trying out other outlets. the not—for—profit national public radio or npr has been bidding for an interview on successive levered seven years. rather like us. mr trump is rather relented that he wish he didn't. the question on republicans distancing himself from him and that election. why is it that you think the vast majority of your allies in the united states senators are not standing behind you? we did have that statement by mike rollins. because mitch mcconnell is a loser. when npr's steven inskeep continued to press him about the election, this is how the conversation ended. it shouldn't be allowed to happen and they don't want it to happen again. iwant to... the only way is not can happen again is, you have to solve the problem of the presidentially rigged election of 2020. so, steve thank you very much. one more question, i want to ask about a court hearing yesterday on january six, thejudge — he's gone, okay. too late, too late. let's bring in our senior north america reporter, anthony zurcher. it's an extraordinary tactic when his interview, he literally bombards the interviewer, bamboozled them. with a number of facts that actually don't back up or bear relation to the facts without most of them just gets off by it. actually steve to keep at it. the big equation i think is is he right? are some of the republicans now starting to ask bigger questions about what president trump is saying? well, that mike rollins _ president trump is saying? well, that mike rollins statement - president trump is saying? -ii that mike rollins statement that he referenced there, all my role and said, the senator from referenced there, all my role and said, the senatorfrom south dakota was thatjoe biden won the 2020 election. and that prompted donald trump to issue yet another one of these overheated press releases attacking mike rounds. i think it reflects a sensitivity donald trump as to some members of the republican party perhaps starting to try to get some daylight between him and them. because they see donald trump i think, as a detriment in the midterm elections are coming up this november. republicans have the political wind at their back here. they have an unpopular president right now, they're in the minority so they can make the case that they need to come back into power. the last thing they want is trump meddling and speaking up and becoming the new story because that distracts from their message. it also will activate the democratic base and get them out to vote. so i think they are starting to sense that they need to have some space.

for being with us. tomorrow is the turn of president transformer campaign advisor, and formal labour wasn't looking forward to bolt. we will see you tomorrow same time. bye—bye. hello there. there's a lot of benign weather in this ten—day forecast thanks to high pressure which is going to dominate the weather scene, bringing a lot of dry and settled weather, with some sunshine around, but we'll also have some frost and fog at night, particularly across england and wales, where the fog could be very dense, stubborn to clear, and could cause some issues over the next few days. so some disruption is possible. stay tuned to bbc local radio or to subsequent weather forecasts. and the reason for it is because of this large blocking area of high pressure. very light winds across the south of the country, a bit more of a breeze further north, so here we won't have any problems with fog. some cloud around, one or two showers, otherwise largely dry. we start off with dense fog patches across parts of england and wales tomorrow morning, some of it stubborn to clear, and if it does linger around, its going to feel very cold indeed. winds will be light — no wind at all, really, to speak of to shift that fog, whereas further north will have more of a breeze, those mean wind—speed gusts could be a little bit higher. but it's milder here, 10—11 celsius. further south, where the sunshine comes out, 6—8 celsius, colder than that where we hold on to the fog. the fog re—forms again as we move through thursday night, could be quite dense and extensive once again. bit more of a breeze. some showery bursts of rain for the far north of scotland, tied in with this weather front. but it's high pressure dominating the scene. as we head on into friday, you can see very few isobars around, so it's going to be a really foggy one to start friday morning, and again some of that fog really dense in places — could cause some trouble with travel, roads and airports in fact. could see a bit more cloud around generally on friday across the north of the country, the odd shower. most places, though, will be dry. now, where you have the sunshine, it will feel quite pleasant, but where the fog lingers temperatures may struggle to get much above freezing, so it will be grey, foggy and cold all day. but these are the sorts of temperatures we'll see when the sunshine comes out — range from 5—9 celsius, again 10 celsius there for stornoway. for the weekend, then, little change. it's going to be mostly dry and settled, thanks to the high pressure. could start to see some lower pressure or a few weather fronts pushing in from the west, and this could bring one or two showers mainly to north—western parts of the country, so this is the pressure set—up for saturday. you can see many places starting dry again. there could be some mist and fog around across england and wales. variable amounts of cloud, some sunshine, just the chance of a few showers getting into western areas later on. i think most places should stay dry throughout the day. temperatures around the seasonal norm, 5—8 celsius. this weather front could bring more showery rain to the north and west of the country through sunday, so i think sunday looking like being probably the better chance of catching some showers around, mainly in northern and western areas. i think largely dry further east. variable cloud, some spells of sunshine, and again, temperatures around the seasonal norm, i think topping out at around 8—9 for many. could see 10 celsius across the far south—west. now, beyond sunday into next week the outlook is for high pressure to dominate the scene once again, keeping weather fronts out at bay. so again with light winds we could see problems with mist and fog, and towards the end of next week, another area of high pressure moving down from the north—west. this could bring a colder influx of airfor a time across northern and eastern areas. but the temperatures i think will be flip—flopping at times. of course, it will feel colder where you hold on to mist and fog. this is the general outlook next week of weather. variable cloud, little bit of sunshine around, mist and fog could become a problem, and temperatures around the seasonal norm, could be colder at times. tonight at ten, for the first time, borisjohnson admits he did attend a drinks party at number ten during the first lockdown. he went to tell mps he regretted what happened, but he still insisted the gathering, in his view, was a work event. i regret the way the event i have described was handled. i bitterly regret it and wish that we could have done things differently, and i have and will continue to apologise for what we did. but many mps were incensed by the prime minister's suggestion that the gathering had been within the rules in a technical sense. the party's over, prime minister. the only question is, will the british public kick him out, will his party kick him out, or will he do the decent thing and resign? cheering
