murray wins an epic five set match in melbourne to make it through to round two of the australian open for the first time since 2017. the prime minister's former top advisor has acused borisjohnson of lying about the bring your own booze event in the downing street garden during the first lockdown. dominic cummings said he was prepared to swear under oath that mrjohnson knew it was a drinks party and not a work event — a claim denied by number ten. here's our political correspondent, jonathan blake. once the prime minister's closest adviser, now one of his fiercest critics. dominic cummings' newly detailed version of events contradicts what the prime minister told mps. drinks in the downing street garden when england was under strict lockdown measures on the 20th of may 2020 — an invite sent by the prime minister's private secretary, martin reynolds, to around 100 staff, told to bring their own booze. last week, the prime minister gave his explanation. i believed implicitly that this was a work event. but, mr speaker, with hindsight, i should have sent everyone back inside. now, writing online, dominic cummings says: number ten, though, says it is untrue that the prime minister was warned about the event in advance. do you have confidence in the prime minister? conservative mps have talked of anger among their constituents, at continued accusations of events which may have broken the rules, which most members of the public were following. a handful now say time's up for the prime minister, but most are waiting for an official report. i've spoken to party members, people who've been loyal party members and activists for many years, and i would say the... by far the clear view that i've had from them is, we should give him, the prime minister, the benefit of the doubt until we see what's in sue gray's report. people are angry, people want to know what's going on, and the prime minister acknowledged that in his statement in the house — that, regardless of, you know, what may have been thought or said at the time of that party in the garden, you cannot explain it away, you cannot say that it wasjustifiable. it was clearly wrong, it should never have happened. and so, people are rightly angry about that and want to know, i think, what the prime minister's going to do to put this right. labour say the government's in chaos. if he did know, if he was aware that the invites went out, if he was aware that concerns were raised, and, indeed, if he did then say the party should go ahead, this is, this is just extraordinary. conservatives are gravely concerned. all of westminster is waiting for the report attempting to establish the facts. jonathan blake, bbc news. let's talk to our chief political correspondent adam fleming. adam, do you think sue gray is likely i don't know, her inquiry is a bit of a black box that we know very little about. you a bit of a black box that we know very little about.— very little about. you we do not know who _ very little about. you we do not know who she _ very little about. you we do not know who she will— very little about. you we do not know who she will want - very little about. you we do not know who she will want to - very little about. you we do not| know who she will want to speak very little about. you we do not - know who she will want to speak to. i have heard herfocus is on senior civil servants, there are junior civil servants, there are junior civil servants, there are junior civil servant who might have attended some of these events that she is not speaking to, that is all i can say about that. if anyone was going to confirm they had been spoken to by sue gray it would be dominic cummings, the former prime ministerial adviser committed to radical transparency, i am sure he would write a blog about it. they key thing about the blog he has written now potential problems with this party on the 20th of may with the prime minister and his assertion that the private secretary who wrote the invitation probably discussed it with the prime minister as well. in the view of dominic cummings that would mean the prime when he was talking about this. downing street say it is untrue, the prime minister was not warned all aware of the event, that is very much what the deputy prime minister said well, the prime minister and number ten have been very clear that that account is not true and of course it's up to sue gray to decide how she conducts her investigation. as i said, i are not going to pre—empt, prejudice, interfere with that. dominic raab went on to pile pressure on the prime minister, he was asked if the minister misleads parliament, is it a in normal circumstances it would be, so it is notjust circumstances it would be, so it is not just a, circumstances it would be, so it is notjust a, crime, tea rs tears introduced the idea of treating misogyny, hatred against women, is a specific hate crime in future, something the there is a lot of discussion about procedural stuff, whether they needed at the legislation. the short version is the controversy over this controversial bill will continue in the government has i'm joined by giles kenningham who's a former conservative party press chief, former number ten spokesman and former head of press at number of press at number ten, all between 2013 and 2016. borisjohnson was over they will be using that as alertness to stop what public sentiment is out, at the sue gray is a fiercely independent civil servant and i am sure she will take the inquiry for it needs to go. from my perspective, it probably makes sense that she does interview him but that is a matter for him. borisjohnson and dominic cummings cannot both be right, can they? someone is not telling the truth here. we have had a lot of sources here. at the moment, like you said, it is a he said, she said, and there is no clarity on who is telling the truth. if sue gray finds borisjohnson did know about this party in advance and sort of batted away concerns which is what dominic cummings is claiming, then what? i is what dominic cummings is claiming, then what?- is what dominic cummings is claiming, then

after the eruption severed a vital undersea communications cable. images captured from aircraft sent by new zealand and australia, do offer some insight, showing coastlines covered in ash and volcanic rock floating on the ocean. the damage doesn't seem to have been as catastrophic as we had first imagined that it might be, but there's still widespread damage, particularly to the western part of the main island. and we're looking forward to hearing from those outer islands closer to the blast site. alongside struggling to contact the tiny south pacific nation, the aid effort will be made doubly difficult by the coronavirus. tonga has only registered a single case of covid—i9, and is determined to keep the virus out of the country. from what we have seen and been advised of, drinking water is one of the first main issues of priority for the people in tonga. here in the uk, the family of a british woman swept away by the tsunami say her body has been found. 50—year—old angela glover ran a dog sanctuary in the tongan capital, and was reportedly killed as she tried to rescue one of her animals. she was living on the beach and she was living her dream. you know, she always wanted, eh, to live, you know, in a place like tonga, and was so proud that she she was able to fulfil that. days after the hunga tonga—hunga ha'apai volcano erupted, there's still so little information as to the scale of its impact. for now, the international aid community can only prepare for the worst, but hope for the best. gareth barlow, bbc news. katie greenwood from the international federation of the

british teenagers are still being questioned, as part of the investigation into a hostage—taking incident at a synagogue in texas on saturday. british citizen malik faisal akram from blackburn, was shot dead by police after a ten hour siege. 0ur reporter nick garnett sent this report from blackburn this morning. the two people arrested on sunday evening remain in custody, very little is known about then, to be honest. we know they were arrested in the south of manchester, we don't know their age or gender and we don't know why they were arrested at this stage, if there was any direct link between then and malik faisal akram. however, they are being questioned, both by police here in britain, the counterterrorism policing unit of the north—west, but also fbi officers want to talk to them about what happened, what they know and what might —— how they might be able to help. akram's brother came to the police station here to try to speak to him, to get himself to give himself up and come out of the synagogue. they were not able to, 18 hours after the siege started he was shot dead. it has emerged at the synagogue only had very few people in because of coronavirus restrictions, probably 405, and the service was being streamed live. that had two implications, firstly that there were not many hostages for akram to taper because the service was being streamed live, people listening to and watching it were able to contact the authorities immediately and e very quickly —— there were not very many people in the synagogue because of coronavirus restrictions, probably four or five. after akram was shot dead his family issued a note of condemnation and social media, saying they were appalled by his actions, that was echoed by the muslim council of britain who said akram's actions fell way short of what it meant to be muslim. akram was shot dead two weeks after entering the united states, he travelled from new york to dallas where the siege actually happened. he had a history of mental illness, i have heard from people he was angry, cross at the world. he was banned from going into blackburnto buildings for abusing a member of staff, he had been seen standing outside mosques with placards, protesting. these are low—level incidents, really, that people have remembered them and brought them at the time and again. watch the police and the fbi want to know is why in 2022, injanuary, nick garnett decided to go to the united states to carry out this action. they want to carry out this action. they want to know how he managed to get a while holding a british tourist visa and they want to know whether he was working with anyone in the united states, the uk or elsewhere. thank ou, nick states, the uk or elsewhere. thank you, nick garnett _ states, the uk or

issued with guidance on how to help people who self—harm. the national institute for health and care excellence says self—harm is "everyone's business" to tackle — notjust mental health professionals. self—harm is when somebody intentionally damages or injures their body to try to cope with emotional distress or to feel in control. —— perhaps to try to. although there are lots of reasons why people do it. one in five girls and one in ten boys aged between 17 and 19 have self—harmed or attempted suicide, according to a major survey from 2017. and among 11 to 16—year—olds, 7% of girls and more than 3% of boys are affected, with those with mental disorders more likely to have self—harmed. i beg your pardon, i will read that again. those with mental—health disorders are more likely to have self—harm to. —— self—harm. elsa arnold is a student in london. she self—harmed for two years when she was in school and is now an activist for the mental health charity, young minds. thank you very

for providing early intervention mental health support for young people, providing guidance to schools will help with that to hopefully catch things earlier so they do not escalate to a point where it

about it now i just want to give my 14—year—old self a hug, it was just self—hatred towards myself and not wanting to be. when i was not given the support by camhs, four months later ijust did not want to be alive, if i had that support in the first place i might not have got to that point. thank you for being so open with us, elsa arnold. i am sure you will have helped many people watching. if

poverty in the uk today, particularly as you said we found that 1.8 million children at the start of the pandemic were living in what we would call very deep poverty, you will have just heard from that family about the experiences of living and there is hardship, what we mean when we say very deep poverty is essentially a family's income not being enough to afford the basics, notjust struggling to make ends meet but not being able to afford the heating and going cold for a night, all struggling to afford the weekly shop and needing to visit a food bank, so and needing to visit a food bank, so a very difficult family situation under large number of children growing up in that situation. fight! growing up in that situation. and the number _ growing up in that situation. and the number has increased to 1.8 million, back in 2011, 2012, there were 500,000 fewer children in a very deep poverty?— very deep poverty? exactly, it is particularly _ very deep poverty? exactly, it is particularly worrying _ very deep poverty? exactly, it is particularly worrying that - very deep poverty? exactly, it is particularly worrying that this i very deep poverty? exactly, it is| particularly worrying that this has got worse over time and on top of that you have to remember these figures are from the start of the pandemic, they don't include the effect of the pandemic and more worryingly they do not include the effect of the the current periods of high inflation and the energy increases which have either happened already oval happened later this year, so we are talking about going into a year where energy prices will increase a huge amount and ready before that families were struggling to afford basics and having to go without heating, so it is very difficult to think how families will manage. we have got this price rise coming in april, we spoke about it yesterday, bills have gone up already, if1.8 yesterday, bills have gone up already, if 1.8 million children are already, if 1.8 million children are already living in households where the mum or dad or mum and dad cannot afford the basics, what impact is it going to have on them? it is afford the basics, what impact is it going to have on them?- going to have on them? it is going to have a huge _ going to have on them? it is going to have a huge impact, _ going to have on them? it is going to have a huge impact, we - going to have on them? it is going to have a huge impact, we are - to have a huge impact, we are literally talking about a situation where many children will have to go cold because it is too expensive to keep the heating on so these are very stark situations we are talking about. we have crunched the numbers in terms of what this means her family's disposable incomes in april and when we look at a family with a low income, we expect by april they will spend about a fifth of their disposable income just on energy bills. we then compare that to a family on a middling income, spending around 6% disposable income, that's a huge difference and it means any increases in energy bills you see how big an impact that will have on what the family has left to spend on other things. and if we look particularly look at adults who do not have any children and live on their own their energy bills by april will be around half of their disposable income so we are talking about huge numbers and i think thisjust talking about huge numbers and i think this just highlights how urgent the need for support for these families are, we really need to immediately provide some additional support so people on the lowest incomes do not have to go through this year with a situation worsening and worsening but instead, we can provide them with additional income to help them get through and prevent this being even more of a disaster than it already is. the government — disaster than it already is. the government says _ disaster than it already is. the government says we recognise the pressures people are facing an hassle bills which is why we are taking steps to support them, the energy price cap supported lots of people, the household support fund, universal credit is even more money in people's pockets with an average of £1000 more every year and increasing the living wage in april. are you saying despite that, people still need, the poorest families need help?— still need, the poorest families need hel? , ., _, .,, need help? yes, i am. the context as we went into — need help? yes, i am. the context as we went into this _ need help? yes, i am. the context as we went into this with _ need help? yes, i am. the context as we went into this with many - need help? yes, i am. the context as we went into this with many children | we went into this with many children living in very deep poverty, we saw in october the government cut universal credit by £20 a week so despite that statement from the government, the reality is social security and benefit incomes are very low in comparison to recent years and are totally inadequate especially for a family not in work at the moment. so it's definitely the case additional support is needed and needed very quickly and i would advise instead of trying to support everyone and reduce everyone , support everyone and reduce everyone �*s bills that little bit to deal with this energy cost, the government should funnel the money specifically to families on the lowest incomes be that through the benefits system so the government could increase universal credit to help people have a bit more income or additionally it could use existing schemes like the warm homes discount but in order for that to be effective and fast that will need to be reformed so it will need to reach more people and the government will need to cover the cost of that because currently, that is covered by other energy users.— because currently, that is covered by other energy users. thank you for talkin: to by other

predicted that three years on from his tearful farewell in melbourne. and andy murray, of course, among six british players in action. many thought that could have been the end of the three—time grand slam champion's career, but one metal hip later, a lot of hard work, and back on the same court he shed those tears, he reached the second round of the tournamnet, many thought would be his last. he came through in five sets against nikolas basilashvilli, a player he beat in a warm up tournament in the lead up to the australian open. he will play qualifier tyrone daniel in the next round. a match he will start as favourite. also into the second round, heatherwatson, who beat mayer sherif in three sets. she is one of only two british female players to qualify automatically for the main draw. a big win, having won only one match since the end of the grasscourt season. earlier, harriet dart was beaten by iga swiantek. british number two dan evans is also through — he beat david goffin in straight sets. he's started the year in great form, winning five of his six matches this year. and then later at around 10:30 uk time, it is the turn of emma raducanu, a battle of two former us open champions as she takes on the 2017 winner, sloane stephens, a year on from watching this tournament as she studied for her exams. liam broady is underway against home favourite nick kyrigos but he's lost the first set 6—4. one person missing is novak djokovic having lost his second appeal over his deportation. and it looks as though he could miss out on defending his french open title too. the french government has performed a u—turn, insisting that only vaccinated sports people will be able to perform in the country, which could have an impact on other sports people. the 20—time grand slam winner is unvaccinated, and back in serbia after leaving australia. police were called to a hobart hotel where england and australia cricketers were drinking together following the conclusion of the ashes series. the england and wales cricket board says it is investigating. in a statement, it added... "the hotel management received a noise complaint by a hotel guest, and as is commonplace in australia, the local police attended the scene. when asked to leave by hotel management and the tasmanian police, the players and management in question left and returned to their respective hotel rooms. the england party have apologised for any inconvenience caused." scottish top flight football has returned — and that meant the return of full capcity crowds too. the spl brought forward its winter break after crowds were limited to just 500 under restrictions to limit the spread of covid. celtic beating hibernian last night, they scored early on through debutant daizen maeda, they got their second from the penalty spot to win 2—0, and move within three points of leaders rangers. could roberto martinez be heading back to everton. sacked by the owner farhad moshiri when he took over, suggestions now though, he wants him back. following the sacking of rafa benitez, the club have approached the belgian fa, he's head coach of the international team. he spent three years at everton, before being dismissed. chelsea's emma hayes was named coach of the year at the fifa best awards. she led chelsea's women to the league title and the champions league final last season. it was a chelsea double with thomas tuchel picking up the men's award. robert lewandowski was named men's best player for the second successive year with barcelona's alexia putellas the best women's player. england and wales announce their six nations squads this morning, more to come later. that's all the sport for now. labour say the government is "in chaos" after the prime minister's former adviser, dominic cummings, said borisjohnson lied to parliament about a gathering at the height of the first lockdown. mr cummings said he was prepared to "swear under oath" that mrjohnson knew a drinks party was being held — a claim denied by number ten. i'm joined now byjonathan ashworth, shadow work and pensions secretary. good morning to you. hello. do you believe mr cummings?

l health teams, what do you say? i think that's fine as long as this group are not forgotten. historically, this group of the group that had been forgotten, there has been an out of sight out of mind attitude and this group needs specialist skills, they do need long—term views around the support they will need and it's not going to be a quick fix, you need to invest in inpatient mental health rehabilitation services and supported accommodation in the community and community mental health rehabilitation teams who have the right skills to support this group of people through the years of their recovery. and what we are seeing is that this is patchy across the country and whether you get that kind of care is a bit of a postcode lottery at the moment.— kind of care is a bit of a postcode lottery at the moment. thank you for talkin: to lottery at the moment. thank you for talking to us — lottery at the moment. thank you for talking to us today. _ you can hear adam eley�*s full investigation on the programme file on 4, tonight from 8pm on bbc radio 4 and bbc sounds. and if you've been affected by the themes within adam's report, the bbc�*s action line has information and support. a man has been arrested on suspicion of false imprisonment and making threats to kill, after a missing teenager was found. 18—year—old marnie clayton disappeared after leaving a windsor nightclub on sunday morning. she was found in basingstoke. the arrested man is 21 and from reading. inspectors say "urgent improvements" need to be made to the electronic tagging system to monitor criminals in england and wales, warning that some domestic abusers are being put on curfews which require them to live with their victims. her majesty's inspectorate of probation also found that newer kinds of technology are not being used as widely as they could be. our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford, reports. there are three kinds of tags in use now in england and wales. the original tags linked to a box in the offender's home that can be used to enforce a curfew. more modern gps tags that can track a released criminal�*s movements using satellite technology. and alcohol abstinence tags that test the wearer's sweat to check if they've been drinking. in the first major review of tagging for ten years, inspectors said the technology had significant potential, but they warn that sometimes the curfew address for criminals released from prison on a tag had not been checked properly, and people at risk of domestic violence from the offender were living there. the chief inspector of probation, justin russell, said it's deeply concerning to think that people are being placed on a curfew in homes where there's a potential risk of harm to others. we recommend an urgent review. the inspector said satellite tagging should be deployed more widely — particularly when it came to tracking high—risk offenders — and they found a new alcohol abstinence tag showed promise, but were not being used to their full potential. daniel sandford, bbc news. average pay rises are failing to keep up with the cost of living, according to the latest official data. wages increased in the year to november, but not as fast as prices. separate figures show companies added 184,000 people to their payrolls between november and december, taking the total to nearly 30 million. our business correspondent ramzan karmali joins me now. between september and november, wages went up 3.8%, inflation was 5.1%, the cost of living not keeping up, our wages not keeping up with the cost of living. the bank of england thinks inflation will rise to 6% next year, the pressure on the cost of living is getting even greater. the unemployment rate fell slightly to 4.8%, the number of vacancies hit a record high, 2.4 million so that means there are more jobs available for people, and so economists are expecting because there are, there is such a big demand for people to get into these skilled jobs, wages will rise and will start to keep up with the cost of living next year but it is a slight worry at the moment. the chancellor has called these figures, shows the furlough scheme he implemented was a massive success and says, thejob market implemented was a massive success and says, the job market is thriving, we have all these vacancies, unemployment is getting close to pre—pandemic levels so things are on the up but there is a worry about the cost of living and the fact in february, the regulator for the energy sector will meet to decide what the price cap will be for energy bills, that's set to rise as well. talking to citizens advice last week, they talked about figures of around £60 extra a month on energy bills coming in from april next year so there are lots of pressure some people, wages might be going up not going up fast enough at the moment. anything else? pretty much everything, i would like to say the bank of england meets next month and people are expecting another rate rise, we had one up to 0.25% at the end of last year, expecting another rise in february. fiuch the end of last year, expecting another rise in february. such a small rise. _ another rise in february. such a small rise, will _ another rise in february. such a small rise, will it _ another rise in february. such a small rise, will it have - another rise in february. such a small rise, will it have any - another rise in february. such a i small rise, will it have any impact?
