all the allegations. washington and kyiv accuse russia of preparing to carry out "false sabotage operations" — to create a "pretext" for an invasion of ukraine. the kremlin denies the claims. hello, and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. a prominent conservative mp has told the bbc that borisjohnson must "lead or step aside." tobias ellwood, who chairs the defence select committee, said leadership was required. it comes as some conservative mps say they've been inundated with emails from constituents, angry about reports that downing street staff held parties during lockdowns. speaking this morning, the labour leader sir keir starmer reiterated his call for the prime minister to resign — saying borisjohnson lacked the "moral authority" to lead. the government has urged people to reserve judgment until the outcome of an inquiry. it comes a day after officials apologised to buckingham palace for two parties held on the eve of prince philip's funeral. our political correspondent ione wells reports. "it is the expectation that more and more will come out" — the fear of one brexiteer tory mp, who previously backed borisjohnson, who is worried about the stream of allegations about parties that took place behind these doors during covid restrictions. one former minister said the prime minister was "toast". another said their email inbox was "horrendous". one senior tory said they have had more than 200 angry emails against the prime minister and said many colleagues now believe boris won't be leader at the next general election. "for many of us, this feels terminal." borisjohnson admitted this week that he attended drinks in the downing street garden on the 20th of may, 2020. for the government minister guy opperman, this revelation felt personal. he could not support his wife and twins at the time in hospital, and his two sons died shortly after their birth. i don't think it's acceptable and i feel pretty emotional about the fact that i wasn't able to support my kids and my wife and go to the hospital at pretty much exactly the same time they were making these difficulties. on friday, downing street also had to apologise to buckingham palace, after reports downing street staff held two parties in number ten on the eve of prince philip's funeral, leading foreign secretary liz truss to admit "mistakes were made." ministers have urged people to reservejudgement until an inquiry into downing street parties by the civil servant sue gray has reported what happened. while police have also said they will await the results of this inquiry, the former chief constable of durham, mike barton, told bbc radio 4's week in westminster that the police should now be involved in this investigation. if there is a cause celebre, causing widespread public outrage, then the police should act. because the primary objective of encouraging people to follow the rules without police intervention would be lost. many mps are now waiting with bated breath to see just how bad or not this report ends up looking for the conservatives. but some have already told the bbc they will be congregating next week to work outjust how they are going to bring this to an end. ione wells, bbc news. our political correspondent nick eardley is here. what's the latest this weekend? i think the really important thing happening today is tory mps around the country are engaging with their constituents. from the conversations i have had, it doesn't sound like it is good for the prime minister. it sounds like the mood is hardening, including among tory mps. just to give you a flavour, one formal cabinet minister said that the story yesterday about a party in downing street the night before the duke of edinburgh's funeral had made things worse, that the reception they were getting was terrible. a brexiteer ally of borisjohnson, someone who would have been beating the drum for him back in 2019, said they don't see any way now that he is thereby the next election. there are many mps who are being inundated with messages from their constituents. some are suggesting that those people are not natural allies of the conservatives anyway, but i think there is definitely a feeling that tory mps are under pressure from their constituents this weekend. what is that all mean? well, there is no doubt that next week is going to be tough to stop when mps get back to westminster, they will be talking about what to do next. there is a chance we will get the sue gray report on what went on, that top civil servant looking into it. what she says is going to be really crucial. there is still that question of how you get from now to borisjohnson not being prime minister, and that is not completely clear. others can be blamed for this. there is also quite a tricky process to remove a prime minister who does not want to leave. that said, opposition parties are going to keep hammering this and i would expect that they are going to keep saying that the prime minister, cannot be trusted, and is vulnerable. have a listen to the labour leader keir starmer this morning. labour leader keir starmer this morninu. ., ., ., ., , labour leader keir starmer this morninu. ., . ., ., , ., , morning. the moral authority matters in relation to — morning. the moral authority matters in relation to enforcing _ morning. the moral authority matters in relation to enforcing the _ morning. the moral authority matters in relation to enforcing the covid -

the government, the judges hold their ground and say, "no, you don't want to get _ "a vaccination and you don't want to follow our rules, i then you can't come in." let him play! there's been support for djokovic outside the venue where he's meant to play the australian open on monday — that's obviously if he's not deported. opponents to vaccination mandates took part in the rally and asked authorities to let the serbian compete on monday and keep alive his bid for a record 21st major title at the australian open. our correspondent, guy de launey is in belgrade and has more now on the reaction from there. outrage — that's where we're at here in serbia. and we're hearing outrage both on a sporting front and on a diplomatic front. so, on the sporting front, a nice little pithy quote from the serbian tennis federation, who said that preventing novak djokovic from playing was "unacceptable for the entire sports world on the planet and contradicts the sacred olympic principles, which are well known." i must admit, i've forgotten which the sacred olympic principles are to which they're referring, but i'll take their word for it. but there's also been a lot of political reaction now. the leaders of serbia's political... their political leaders, the government, have been quite quiet in the days running up to the ministerial intervention. i think they were hoping that, by standing back, they wouldn't do novak djokovic's case any harm. now, though, they've come out all guns blazing, with president aleksandar vucic blazing in particular, asking, "why do you mistreat him? "why do you harass him as well as his family and a nation that is free and proud?" so this is now being very much cast here in serbia as an attack, notjust on one man, but on the entire serbian people. lawyers for virginia giuffre, who's accused the duke of york of sexual abuse, are calling for two people — based in the uk — to give evidence in her civil case, including one of his former aids. prince andrew denies all the allegations. our washington correspondent, nomia iqbal, reports. virginia giuffre's legal team here in america is seeking testimony from two people in the uk. one of those people is shukri walker, a woman who claims to have seen prince andrew at a nightclub in london in 2001 with a young girl. miss giuffre contends she was then abused by the prince after visiting that club. the second person is the prince's former assistant, major rob olney. and ms giuffre's lawyers say she has reason to believe that major olney has information that relates to the relationship between prince andrew and jeffrey epstein, the convicted sex offender who's now dead. virginia giuffre's legal team are clearly preparing for a court hearing, though they haven't ruled out a settlement, which means that it wouldn't go to trial. but they've also indicated that they wouldn't just want that settlement to be financial. as far as prince andrew is concerned, he has always consistently denied all these allegations and his team have said that this legal case is a marathon, not a sprint. but he is running out of legal manoeuvres and miss giuffre's legal team have him exactly where they want him. he's now in a position where he has said he will defend his name and he will be defending it as a private citizen, after losing his military titles and his royal patronagees, as well as his title, hrh. the pressure is increasing on him. tsunami waves caused by a giant underwater volcanic eruption have hit the pacific island of tonga. satellite images show the eruption which was followed by darkened skies as the volcano sent black ash shooting into the air. a tsunami warning sent residents of tonga scrambling to higher ground. a nearby inhabited island is reported to have submerged completely. today marks 25 years since princess diana walked through a minefield in angola to raise awareness of the lasting impact of conflict. diana captured global attention when she walked through the live minefield in 1997, escorted by the british landmine clearance charity, the halo trust. she never lived to see the full impact of her visit — such as the signing of an international treaty to outlaw the weapons — as she died later that year. louise vaughan joins us now from the halo trust. welcome. thank you forjoining us. it is such an iconic image of diana working through that minefield. how did it come about? did she suggest it? where did the idea come from? well, she was already very much involved — well, she was already very much involved with the international red cross _ involved with the international red cross and — involved with the international red cross and she was planning a trip to angola _ cross and she was planning a trip to angola to— cross and she was planning a trip to angola to highlight the terrible impact — angola to highlight the terrible impact that these weapons were having _ impact that these weapons were having on— impact that these weapons were having on normal people, particularly children. when we heard that she _ particularly children. when we heard that she wanted to visit eight minefield to showcase what was happening, we agree that we would accompany her. the minefield had very recently been cleared by my colleagues there. essentially, it was amazingly brave of her. when she visited, _ was amazingly brave of her. when she visited, the _ was amazingly brave of her. when she visited, the war was still raging. things— visited, the war was still raging. things were very dangerous there. she was— things were very dangerous there. she was clearly obviously quite nervous — she was clearly obviously quite nervous about walking through the minefield, but she was very shrewd. she knew— minefield, but she was very shrewd. she knew that those images of her would _ she knew that those images of her would absolutely become global front—page news everywhere, and that would _ front—page news everywhere, and that would make _ front—page news everywhere, and that would make it impossible to ignore that there — would make it impossible to ignore that there has to be a universal ban on these _ that there has to be a universal ban on these totally indiscriminate weapons. on these totally indiscriminate wea ons. , ., on these totally indiscriminate weaons. , ., ., ., weapons. tell us more about what flowed from _ weapons. tell us more about what flowed from that _ weapons. tell us more about what flowed from that visit, _ weapons. tell us more about what flowed from that visit, the -
