grand slam title with victory in the wheelchair doubles against gustavo fernandez and shingo kunieda. they took the first set 6—2, but then lost the seccond. it went to a match tie break and then the players had to leave the court because of rain, with hewett and reid 5—4 up at the time. it was an agonising wait, but they returned eventually to battle for the victory — 10—7 it finished in the tie break. hewett and reid have not lost a slam final together since wimbledon in 2019. and there was more success for great britain with andy lapthorne winning the quad—wheelchair doubles alongside american partner david wagner. they also secured the victory with a 10—7 match—tie break win. it's lapthorne�*s 15th grand slam title and his 6th at the australian open. he told me earlier he wants to inspire others. no one really like me was on tv, no one to look up to suffer that to be changing is absolutely massive for people with disability to turn on the tv and see people like themselves. it only helps grow the profile and helps the next generation and i truly believe the next generation of tennis players as you are seeing from the dutch kids we played is going to be incredible and the more we can get the stuff on tv the better. britain'sjoe salisbury and american partner rajeev ram have reached their third consecutive australian open doubles semi—final with victory over simone bolelli and fabio fognini. they've yet to drop a set and won 6—3, 6—2. there was a thrilling five set battle between daniil medvedev — the highest seeded player in the draw and canadian felix auger—alliasime. medvedev fought back from two sets down to win it and go into the semi—finals. it was an impressive display from the canadian who took the first set 7—6 in just over an hour. auger—alliasime then broke early in the second set and went on to take it 6—3. but it was far closer in the third... medvedev taking it on a tiebreak, after a short rain delay. so into a fourth they went, which medvedev also won 7—5. the fifth and final deciding set finished 6—4. medvedev will play stefanos tsitsipas in the semi—finals after he had a dominant straight sets win overjannik sinner. the 23—year—old, who was beaten at the semifinal stage in 2019 and 2021, won 6-3, 6-4, 6-2. in the women's draw, we now know the four semi—finalists. american danielle collins is through to the last four for the second time in her career. the 27th seed beat france's alize cornet fairly comfortably in straight sets. and she'll face polish seventh seed iga swiatek after she came through a marathon

first six nations campaign, but farrell injured his ankle in a collision while training at club side saracens. he's expected to undergo surgery later today. it's been a disappointing ashes series for england women so far. they lost the first t20 by nine wickets and then the next two matches had to be abandoned because of rain. but the start of the only test in the multi—format series is scheduled to start later.it begins at the manuka oval in canberra at 11 o'clock tonight. australia lead 4—2, so a victory for them will guarantee that they retain the ashes as england would only be able to secure a draw. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc dot co dot uk slash sport i'm ben brown live in downing street. boris johnson has faced a barrage of criticism at prime minister's questions — as he awaits the publication of the official report into gatherings held at downing street and whitehall during lockdown. the findings of the inquiry by the senior civil servant, sue gray, could be released this afternoon. downing street are still saying they have not yet received the report, when they do it will take some time for the prime minister and other officials to pour over it before that has released to the public. we may not set eyes on it until tomorrow. we will have to wait and see. we will have to wait and see. scotland yard is already looking into whether any covid restrictions were breached. during heated exchanges in the commons, the labour leader sir keir starmer accused mrjohnson of showing contempt for decency and honesty and said he should resign. let's listen to part of their exchange. sue gray to the police, having found evidence of behaviour that's potentially a criminal offense. prime minister, if you do not understand the significance of what happened yesterday, then i really do despair because the police having... prime minister, the police having got that material from sue gray subjected to a test to decide whether to investigate. and that test was whether it was the most serious and flagrant type of breach in the rules. the police spelt out that what they meant by that, that those involved knew or ought to have known what they were doing was an offence, and that there was little ambiguity about the absence of any reasonable. does the prime minister. this question will continue, and i will hear. i will hear the question. unfortunately, you might not believe this, but our constituents are very interested in both the questions and the answers. if some members do not wish to hear it, please leave quietly. mr speaker, having got the materialfrom sue gray, the police had to take a decision as to whether what they had before them was the most serious and flagrant types of breach of the rules. if members want to laugh at that, laugh, the police spelt out. the police spelt out what they meant. they decided on the material they've already got that those involved knew or ought to have known what they were doing was an offence and that there was little ambiguity around the absence of any reasonable defence. does the prime minister really not understand the damage his behaviour is doing to our country? mr speaker, i hope that the right honourable gentleman understands that although the issue that he raises is important, there is simply no way, as he knows as a lawyer, that i can comment on the investigation that is currently taking place. but what i but what he also knows, he talks about the most serious issue, but he talks about the most serious issue before the public today and before the world today. it's almost as though he was in ignorance of the fact, mr speaker, that we have a crisis on the borders of ukraine and i can tell him i can tell him what is actually what is going on in the cabinet room of this country is that the uk government... no, mr speaker, the uk government is bringing the west together so that we have this government in this prime minister and the foreign secretary and defence secretary to bring the west together to have the toughest possible package of sanctions to deter president putin from what i think would be a reckless and a catastrophic invasion. that is what this government is doing. we're getting on with the job and i think he needs to raise his game, frankly. can ijust say, honestly... could ijust say to both sides, constituent watching it, tensions are running high on what we need to be able to do is allow the people out there who are bothered about their futures to hear what is said on both sides. so please let us give the respect constituents deserve. mr speaker, this was the prime minister who went into hiding for five days because of these allegations. talk, talk to me about being around for the allegations. mr speaker, i know... can ijust say i don't want to do this, but i am determined to make sure our constituents can hear — the next person that stops me hearing will not be continuing in this debate. questions. mr speaker, the prime minister's continual defence is wait for the sue gray report on december eighth, he told this house i will place a copy of the report in the library of the house of commons. his spokesperson has repeatedly stated that means the full report, not parts of the report, not a summary of the report, not an edited copy. so can the prime minister confirm that he will publish the full sue gray report as he receives it? mr speaker, what i can tell him is that we've got to leave the report to the independent investigators he knows. and of course, when i receive it, i of course i will do exactly what i said, but i can i of course i will do i can tell him that in the meantime, i think what the people of this country want to hear is what we're doing to what we're doing to tackle the issues that matter to all of us. fixing, fixing the cost of living, mr speaker, helping people across the country by lifting the living wage, mr speaker, by helping people with their fuel costs. mr speaker, as this government is and by cutting the tax of people on universal credit. by £1,000 and mr speaker, that party opposite are committed to abolishing universal credit. that's their policy. keir starmer. cutting the tax! the police say the evidence meets the test. frankly, the public have made up their minds. they know he is not fit for the job and that's what really matters here. throughout this scandal, the tories have done immense damage to public trust. when the leader of the scottish conservatives said the prime minister should resign, the leader of the house called him a lightweight. english conservatives publicly undermining the union by treating scotland with utter disdain? how much damage are the prime minister and his cabinet prepared to do to save his skin? well, mr speaker, ithink that he was offering a yet more general criticism of what's been going on in downing street. let me just remind the house what's been going on in in downing street, we've been prioritising the covid backlogs. investing massively in nine million more scans so that people get the treatment that they need and that they've been waiting for. and making sure that they have 114,000 more people in. yes, but it is. they didn't vote for it, mr speaker. they don't support it. 114,000 more people in our nhs now than there were in 2020. and and we're fixing social care, mr speaker, which which governments have neglected for decades and labelled it absolutely no. they have no plan at all to fix the nhs or to fix social care. vote labour. wait longer. but the reality is that we now have the shameful spectacle of a prime minister of the united kingdom being subject to a police investigation, unable to lead the country, incapable of doing the right thing, and every day his cabinet failed to speak out. they become more and more complicit and what's utterly damning. despite the huff and puff is that this is all happening when petrol prices, the weekly shop and energy bills are going through the roof. three months ago, labour suggested cutting vat from energy bills. still, the government has failed to act. instead of getting on with their jobs, they're wheeled out to save his whatever he says in his statement later today or tomorrow won't change the facts. isn't this a prime minister and a government that have shown nothing but contempt for the decency, honesty and respect that define this country? no, mr speaker. we love this country and we are doing everything in our power to help. and and of course, of course, he wants me out of the way, mr. speaker, of course. of course he wants me out of the way. he does. of course, i don't deny it for all sorts of reasons. many people may want me out of the way, but i'll tell you the reason he wants me out of the way is because he knows that this government can be trusted to deliver. and we delivered on brexit, mr speaker. he voted 48 times, he voted 48 times to take this country back into the european union. he did. we delivered the fastest vaccine roll—out in europe, mr speaker. and we will deliver on our plan to unite and level up across the whole of the uk. crime down 10%, mr speaker. job vacancies at a record high. colossal investment. yes, mr speaker, we are delivering and they have no plan. three times as much tech investment as france in this country. twice as much as germany. we have a vision for this country as the most, as the most prosperous and successful economy in europe because we are going to unite and level up the problem with the labour party today. mr speaker, is that he's a lawyer, not a leader. we've taken we've taken the tough decision. i can't hear what the prime minister has got to say. now, i would have thought i would have thought, is the prime minister of this side of the house. i'm surprised that this side of the house won't listen to it because i do. mr speaker, i only wanted to add the point that we've taken the tough decisions, we've got the big calls right and were and in particular, i am getting on with the job. edward have perhaps been more politically explosive had we had the sue gray report before pmqs which seemed quite likely but we have not and in fact our understanding as it still has not actually been delivered to number ten and after that as it will be more hours until it is then released exactly on which form still are not quite sure. let's speak to our political correspondent nick eardley in central lobby in the houses of parliament the premise that was asked by keir starmer, be released and full. it was a bit of a strange answer because the prime minister had said in the past the full report would be late in the commons library forjust what the government wants to do when it publishes documents, he said today he would do what he promised but did not quite commit to the full report. the latest line from downing street on this is that they intend to publish it and the form they receive it as long as it not cut across that investigation from police. that is the latest, timing —wise i cannot shed any more light, ed seems still to be up in the air although number ten are still saying they have not received the final report from the cabinet office and from sue gray the civil servant looking into all this. i have a conservative mp here, thank you for coming to see us, any idea when this is coming. i coming to see us, any idea when this is cominu. ., ., ., , is coming. i have no idea, i spoke to someone _ is coming. i have no idea, i spoke to someone less _ is

does borisjohnson think he has done anything wrong? i don't know, i haven't seen the report and four days and weeks we have been saying let's not make any plea judgments are giving it four b out very soon we should wait and see. borisjohnson has not seen the report then i suspect he does not know what is in there either. from what ou know what is in there either. from what you have _ know what is

fully appreciates the enormous hurt and sacrifice made by millions of people throughout the country and we all do, i get letters from my constituents but he has made a fulsome apology for that and i think we need to consider in this extraordinary pass to europe he has made a number of very good decisions and there was no eight z on how to do with the pandemic, that something we had to deal with.—

prime minister was at a drinks gathering at the back garden, we know he had a cake brought into the cabinet room for him on his birthday and 2020, which would seemingly be against the rules banning end or socialising. how can those things add up? just because how can those things add up? inst because there was drink at a function does not mean it was not a work function. it function does not

same people, the cabinet room is a working room. his wife and wallpaper consulted do not work and the cabinet room. i gathered the wallpaper consulted was not invited but she was asked to come there but i was not there and these are people who have been liaising with each other and took ten minutes out to wish somebody happy birthday. as far as the details are concerned let's wait to see what sue gray has to say but it is time we try to draw a line once the report is out because there are so many important issues we need to get on with, my constituents are writing to seek can people please recognise there are real issues that affect them, cost of living, military forces, military bases in my constituency, they are concerned about troops on the border between russia and ukraine, these are important issues and we need to start dealing with issues that concern at the british people and the nation because we are a key member of nato and they will have a major role to play ef rather me

hear over the next few of us from some of borisjohnson's backers as we await that report, timing still unclear. i want to ask about the prime ministerfacing potentialfor the difficulty which is the claim that he and others and government prioritised the evacuation from afghanistan after the taliban took over of animals over people. the idea that that happen has been substantiated by a new e—mail released by the foreign office following raphael's select committee conducting an enquiry into the government handling of the evacuation, this was the charity which appealed for help when the taliban seized control of campbell, the foreign office document said the play minister did intervene to rescue cats and dogs. borisjohnson has previously dismissed claims he prioritised animals saying it was all nonsense. this is what he said on the 7th of december last year when he was asked about it. the committee has been hidden from an official who says the response was chaotic and has suggested you yourself entered means to get the animal charity out and they got priority over afghan people, did you enter been? ida. priority over afghan people, did you enter been?— enter been? no, that is complete nonsense but _ enter been? no, that is complete nonsense but i _ enter been? no, that is complete nonsense but i think— enter been? no, that is complete nonsense but i think the - enter been? no, that is complete | nonsense but i think the operation to air left 50,000 people out of kabul any way be dead was one of the outstanding military achievements of the xxx and the way we did was one of the outstanding military achievements of the past 50 years. that was boris johnson speaking achievements of the past 50 years. that was borisjohnson speaking and december, this may not seem like a huge issue but it was controversial at the time, the idea that animals were being prioritised over people in the evacuation from kabul, what is the status of what the committee have found. we is the

said it was nonsense, categorically denied he had been responsible for the decision. what we have today as some leaked e—mails which have been sent in august by members of lord goldsmith's team at the foreign office saying the prime minister had signed off on the animals and staff from this charity being evacuated. it is going to lead to more questions for the prime minister about answers she has given and the past year and what have been controversial subjects, the latest line from number ten as they still insist the prime minister was not involved. . ~ insist the prime minister was not
