The government is taking urgent action to limit the amount of some Hormone Replacement Therapy Products Women can access, to improve general supply. Neil parish, the mp being investigated for allegedly watching pornography in the House Of Commons, has told the bbc he is going to resign. In an exclusive interview he says what he did was a � moment of madness and � totally wrong. Mr parish is the mp for Tiverton And Honiton in devon. Yesterday he insisted he would carry on as an mp while an investigation continued, but has now changed his mind. Lets ta ke lets take a moment to watch a little bit of this interview carried out exclusively for Bbc South West and my colleague. Yes, i thought that i could explain to the Standards Committee what happened and it would be worth explaining what happened, which i will in a minute, but in the end i could see the fury and the damage i was causing my family and my constituency and association, it was not worth carrying on. Is your decision based on an acknowledgement of wrongdoing . Yes, and i will explain to you exactly what it is. 0k. The situation was that funnily enough i was looking at tractors and i did get into another website with a very similar name, and i watched it for a bit, which i should not have done. But my crime, my biggest crime, is that on another occasion i went in a second time. And that was deliberately . That was deliberately. Was that in a select committee or in the chambers . It was waiting to vote, not sure if it is technically chambers or not, it is on the side door as you enter back into the lobbies. So to be clear, on at least one occasion that you blatantly viewed pornography on your mobile phone in the chamber of the House Of Commons . Yes. What made you think that was remotely acceptable . Nothing made it feel. So what was going through your mind . A moment of madness and also totally wrong. What i do want to put on record is for my rights and wrongs, i was not proud of what i was doing. The one thing i was not doing, which i will take to my grave as being true, is i was not actually making sure people could see it, in fact i was trying to do quite the opposite and it was wrong what i was doing, but this idea that i was there watching it and intimidating women, i have 12 years in parliament and probably have one of the best reputations ever, or did have, so if there had been anything else on me, the press would have got it by now. I thought i may as well come and Tell The Truth and that is why i am resigning. But you could have viewed this content privately in your own time, but you chose to do it in the chamber of the House Of Commons. Yes, madness, total madness. Im not going to defend it. I am also not going to defend what i did. What i did was absolutely totally wrong and so in the end, what do you do . I could have. What was going through your mind . I appreciate you decided having accidentally stumbled across this content that you wanted to view more more of it. But what on earth possessed you to choose to do that in the House Of Commons . I do not know. I think i must have taken a complete leave of my senses and sensibilities and sense of decency, everything. Im not defending what i did for one moment, but i thought the best thing i can do, and that is why i want to put this on record, is absolutely Tell The Truth. We have had a response to that interview and to the news that he will be resigning, neil parish will be resigning as an mp. The shadow leader of the house of, and is said, open mac mr parishs resignation was the right decision but she says, it is shocking that the conservatives and others tobacco to drag out over many days. Time and again the tories refused to act, resorting to cover ups and dragging the reputation of other mps and the house down with thems. Does closed courts. Ben wright is here. A significant interview this and lots to pick through and consequences will be picked overfor a few to pick through and consequences will be picked over for a few days. Yes, and neil parish who was not very well known till yesterday but now will go down in History Books in the house of sleaze after trying to look at a website about tractors, initially, but as he said in the interview deliberately then look to the website again while waiting to vote. This wasnt so offensive to many people, but he thought, after he had been named yesterday, that he could plough on through this and hope that a parliamentary investigation by the Standards Commissioner might enable him to save his career but as he said, clearly the damage this was doing to his family, constituency in devon meant that he realised by the time we came to this interview this afternoon that he couldnt carry on. He was full of remorse in that interview, describing his actions as a moment of madness. He said he was clearly not proud of what he was doing. He also said he was not trying to intimidate anybody. He said he was looking at this material discreetly, he wasnt trying to throw what he was doing which has been said over the last few days and what made this so offensive to people was that he was being seen by other mums of the House Of Commons when he was doing this. But he is going and it will mean a by election in his constituency of Tiverton And Honiton in devon and he is sitting in a very large majority of 25,000 from the last election and you would assume that that would be an easy hole for the party, but politics is a very volatile place at the moment, particularly with this being the backdrop and it is impossible to say what might happen. find backdrop and it is impossible to say what might happen. Backdrop and it is impossible to say what might happen. And in many ways the damaue what might happen. And in many ways the damage is what might happen. And in many ways the damage is already what might happen. And in many ways the damage is already done what might happen. And in many ways the damage is already done and what might happen. And in many ways the damage is already done and it the damage is already done and it was called to the beginning of the weaker senior people in the conservative party knew who this was and yet it has taken until now a resignation. And yet it has taken until now a resignation and yet it has taken until now a resianation. �. , ,. ,. Resignation. And that is problematic for the conservative resignation. And that is problematic for the conservative party resignation. And that is problematic for the conservative party and resignation. And that is problematic for the conservative party and a for the conservative party and a number of female tory mps have said as much. This was raised at a meeting of Conservative Meet Mps On Tuesday Night and then there were speculation around westminster about who mp involved might be. It was not until yesterday afternoon that the conservative partys chief whip withdrew or suspended mr parish from the tory party in parliament pending the tory party in parliament pending the outcome of an investigation after mr parish referred to him to the commission for standards. Yesterday afternoon it was considered that this may well go through a lengthy investigation before mr parishs political fate was decided. That was considered untenable yesterday and he has now realised he cannot continue. I dont know whether there were conversations between him and number ten orfurther conversations between him and number ten or further conversations today with the whips as they read the papers this morning. You can still hear the anger across the House Of Commons about the fact this has happened in the first place and how it had been dealt with. Happened in the first place and how it had been dealt with. Where do we no from it had been dealt with. Where do we go from here it had been dealt with. Where do we go from here than it had been dealt with. Where do we go from here than in it had been dealt with. Where do we go from here than in terms it had been dealt with.

Where goes next in terms of the reputation of parliament, hard to see and this comes in a week or we have had all sorts of stories and claims and focus on sexism and misogyny in parliament. Senior mps have come forward with their own stories of intimidation and harassment and it has been a bad week for the reputation of parliament once again and i think perhaps this will again be a moment where parliament looks hard at itself and asks what sort of culture is it fostering about people being able to do this by writing to vote in the chamber. Being able to do this by writing to vote in the chamber. Being able to do this by writing to vote in the chamber. Waiting to vote. I vote in the chamber. Waiting to vote i know vote in the chamber.

I know youll be keeping us across the reaction of this throughout the day. The latest now from ukraine, where the Ministry Of Defence says russia has been forced to merge and redeploy some of its forces in ukraine, because of failed advances in the north east of the country. The mod blamed tactical shortcomings including inconsistent air support. In the last few weeks, moscow has refocused its efforts in the countrys east and ukraines army have released Pictures Today showing what is says are strikes on russian reinforcements to the area around the city of izyum, a key battleground in the kharkiv region. Meanwhile, less than 20 miles from the Southern Front lines is the city of mykolaiv. 0n the black sea coast, it stands between the russian army and 0desa. Shelled nearly daily, its been without Running Water for over two weeks. Caroline davies has been speaking to those who live on a city on the edge of the war. Birdsong in mykolaiv. Spring has arrived, but theres little sign of a new beginning. Were in the south of the city at the moment with the bomb disposal unit. Theyre following up on reports that theyve had of multiple rockets have landed, and then checking to see if they can make the area safe. Through a suburban front yard into what remains of valery� s sitting room. A rocket hit his home two days ago. Translation there was a strong explosion and when a rocket fell here, there was a massive shock wave. Books, my things, everything is damaged. The unit move from home to home, removing a rocket from a front room and a section of an unexploded bomb from the driveway. The city is less than 20 miles from the front line and has been heavily shelled since the beginning of the war. This Childrens Hospital was hit a little over three weeks ago. Translation at the moment, j weve got used to the situation, and it is scary. You dont know what comes tomorrow, what comes within an hour, what may happen to your relatives, to your patients. In the premature babies ward, care continues. The windows have been blocked and the unit have relocated into the centre of the building. Translation we cant evacuate children who need artificial ventilation. We cant close the department, because there are other children who may need our help. Dotted around the city, people queue to refill their bottles at tankers or at natural springs. Mykolaiv has been without Running Water since the supply was cut off after russian shelling more than two weeks ago. Now, even the fire brigade have to find new ways to refill. Here, its our bathroom. No water too. Grandmother tatiana has decided to stay in the city despite the constant shelling and lack of water. Its not easy, but what we can do . I was trying to join the army, but they say that you are a little bit too old. And another problem, you are nearly blind. | i said, maybe im nearly blind, but i can smell a russian tank, 0k . If it will be necessary, if russians will come here, of course i will fight. After months of Living On The Edge of the battle, mykolaiv has found a way to continue. But the constant threat from russia sits just over the horizon. Caroline davies, bbc news, mykolaiv. 0leksiy Goncharenko is an mp for the Port City Of 0desa in southern ukraine. He told us ukraine is thankful for all the assistance the uks provided and that the situation in the black sea has recently changed. First of all, im very thankfulfor all support we are receiving from the west from the United Kingdom, very specially thankful for the leadership which the United Kingdom and its Prime Minister shows in the help of ukraine and, yes, harpoon and brimstone missiles from the uk, they are en route, they are coming to ukraine and they are strengthening our defence on the sea, but even without, i can tell you that we were very successful with the attack against the russian flag ship. It was a Missile Cruiser which became a submarine because it was sent down by ukrainians and that changed the situation in the black sea. Fears are growing that russia might finally declare a formal war on ukraine which comes amid reports of considerable loses on the side of the russian army, as well as continuing displacement of local civilians. To explain what a formal Declaration Of War would mean from a legal standpoint, with us here is sean corbett, a former raf air vice marshal. Thank you for coming in the programme. We talk about special Military Operations when we refer to how Vladimir Putin reflects on what is happening. What difference would that shift in language mean if any . It is quite significant actually if he does do it. I mean, just the announcement is almost, if you like, announcement is almost, if you like, a tacit admission that the forces are not operating well but if you look at it from their perspective, it helps to developing narrative we are seeing in russia at the moment that russia is now at war with nato as opposed to just ukraine which helps him describe or explain why more than two months and we are still going. There are some very practical issues, this is as well and one of those is on mass mobilisation. The troops he has about 50 50 conscripts and professional and although the conscripts are not supposed to be in ukraine right now we know that they have been with strong evidence but declaring war would allow him legally to use conscripts. It would also allow him to recruit more people, whether that is reservists or even veterans. At the moment, it is the spring draft and about 134,000 new troops but they are, as we say, annual conscripts who would not be legally allowed to go to the fight. At the same time, because last year was my conscripts have come to the end of their time, theoretically they would have to depart. Declaring that as an actual war would allow him to do a lot more with those troops. In war would allow him to do a lot more with those troops. With those troops. In terms of havin with those troops. In terms of having to with those troops. In terms of having to do with those troops. In terms of having to do a with those troops. In terms of having to do a lot with those troops. In terms of having to do a lot more with those troops. In terms of having to do a lot more with l having to do a lot more with those troops, i alluded to the significant losses earlier on of the Russian Forces and also this idea to do that we are learning about reforming, redeploying, merging Troop Movements as a result of things not going as well as planned in the northeast of ukraine from a russian perspective. Can you shed any light on that . Absolutely, i think about three weeks ago when it wasnt going well for them and carefully decided to pull back money went into belarus so forces tend to operate and what we call Battalion Tactical groups which are groups that can fight as a coherent unit and have all the assets whether that is a cannot reconnaissance, artillery or tanks etc. And when those get written down to a certain extent there just not functional. So what has been happening is the remnants of the Battalion Tactic groups are withdrawing into belarus and reforming with one group joining another to come up with, i think they have recreated 23 now out of about 120 and they are redeployed all the way to the east of the donbas. 0n all the way to the east of the donbas. On paper, that looks good for them, donbas. On paper, that looks good forthem, but donbas. On paper, that looks good for them, but bear in mind these troops were pretty exhausted anyway and lost a lot of equipment and if you combine more than one group you dont have the same ethos, you dont have the same leadership and leadership is a big issue right now and the command and control gets difficult as well. Some of these groupings have got people from the southern, central and eastern military districts. Southern, central and eastern military districts. Interesting. I want to focus military districts. Interesting. I want to focus on military districts. Interesting. I want to focus on the military districts. Interesting. I want to focus on the civilians l want to focus on the civilians because my colleague ben brown earlier in kyiv listed quite distressing details which i wont repeat now but about more discoveries about the way civilians have suffered in this war in ukraine so far. What is it, is there something particular about why russia is conducting itself or is this just standard behaviour in these circumstances . Thisjust standard behaviour in these circumstances . Thisjust standard behaviour in these circumstances . There will be a little bit of both these circumstances . There will be a little bit of both actually, these circumstances . There will be a little bit of both actually, but these circumstances . There will be a little bit of both actually, but it little bit of both actually, but it is actually the way the russians do business. Deliver of atrocities is the will of the people of ukraine, because its all about moral component and the will to fight, but its also about preventing any insurgency or sabotage and that sort of thing and making people terrified. It is very deliberate and as you say is horrific. Just terrified. It is very deliberate and as you say is horrific. As you say is horrific. Just lastly, and a wider as you say is horrific. Just lastly, and a wider and as you say is horrific. Just lastly, and a wider and philosophical. As you say is horrific. Just lastly, i and a wider and philosophical note, just briefly, this idea that if russia declares a war and it steps up russia declares a war and it steps up in the ways or the practical ways that you mention, but also those philosophical and questions about facing the west and nato and suddenly this escalation, as this caught western countries and Intelligence Agencies by surprise . Because interestingly, intelligence before the invasion was that this invasion is going to happen and we should take it seriously and that proved to be right, but we havent heard those calls but loudly in the years or decades leading up to that. I think its fair to say that we had a mind on other things at those times, the Counterterrorist War Etc and maybe we did take a rise of the russians because if theres one good thing to come out of this is that nato has recalibrated what it is therefore. It has actually started to look at deterrent policies but also it has mobilised a very coherent way to bolster its flanks. For raf air marshal, thank you very much coming on. Youre watching bbc news. Neil parish is designing as an mp after admitting he watched pornography in the commons. The Ministry Of Defences russia has been forced to merge and redeploy some of its forces in ukraine because of failed advances in the northeast the country. Sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, heres isaac. Good afternoon. Englands women have won the Six Nations Grand Slam title , they beat france but 24 points to 12. In the second half england could only add to their lead from the boot of emily scarab but despite a late try from the french women, the red roses held firm for the win and the grand slam and that is their fourth consecutive six nations title. It means so much. Obviously we have fortunate to have a couple of days but they mean so much every single time we get to do it.
