it. defending the black sea port of odesa, but fears grow after the airport runway is damaged by a russian missile strike. the prince of wales urges people to protect the nation's ancient trees in honour of the queen's platinum jubilee this year. hello and welcome. the speaker of the house of commons, sir lindsay hoyle has called for a radical review of working practices following a series of sexual misconduct and bullying claims about politicians. yesterday the conservative mp neil parish resigned after admitting he'd watched porn in parliament. the business secretary kwasi kwarteng has denied there is a culture of misogyny at westminster. our political correspondent helen catt reports. it is the admission that shocked westminster. an mp watched porn in the commons chamber. i'm not going to defend it, what i did was absolutely and totally wrong. neil parish�*s resignation has come at the end of a grim week for parliament. it has seen accusations of misogyny and sexism fly. it started with a backlash to an article about the labour deputy leader, angela rayner. later in the week, cabinet minister anne—marie trevelyan described how she was pinned to a wall by a male mp. it has raised fresh questions about the culture the commons. we have to distinguish between some bad apples, people who behave badly, and the general environment. it is very similar to when people say, well there are a number of racist people in this country, so the whole country is racist. that does not follow. there are some bad apples, people who have acted very badly, they should be to account. there have been suggestions a mix of long hours, pressure and on side bars is in part to blame. last week in westminster we were voting at midnight. there was a gap in the day. many of us had been to events which had had alcohol at, and the bars are open. we are social creatures and we do a lot of work in those bars as well. i know that is not how it is going to be portrayed, but we do often sit down. we are talking about work in the work day. westminster doesn't run like some other workplaces. mps directly employ their staff, making it difficult for some to raise concerns. the speaker of the commons says there should be an urgent review. he is calling for a type of inquiry last used in 2008, to look into it. the speaker wants to pull parties together to see what else can be done. i am very happy to participate in that because we can't go on with these allegations coming out over and over again. the snp and the lib dems have confirmed they will take part. parliament has been here before with allegations of poor behaviour. changes were made. but will any new attempt alter the culture for good? helen catt, bbc news. and helen cattjoins me now. when it comes to the treatment of women and the way women are made to feel in the workplace, we talk about it and it is a massive issue for society. when it reaches the heart of politics in westminster, it is a massive problem for politics. they will be people talking about political sleaze yet again, and this is damaging. this political sleaze yet again, and this is damaging-— is damaging. this is damaging for westminster, _ is damaging. this is damaging for westminster, whenever - is damaging. this is damaging for westminster, whenever you - is damaging. this is damaging for westminster, whenever you get l is damaging. this is damaging for i westminster, whenever you get talk of these stories in this behaviour by mps, it damages public trust in politics, and that is the real risk of this and why these stories are important. we have seen parliament try to fix this in the past, it has set up an independent whistle—blowing scheme which people do use, but there are questions about how long those investigations taken therefore how effective it is at having an impact on the culture in parliament. what the speaker is suggesting here is perhaps a way of addressing some of the imbalances between mps and their staff and the imbalances there, but when it comes to imbalances between mps, it wouldn't help there. we are expecting to hear the outcome of the standards committee working on a code of conduct between mps. the chair of that committee, chris bryant, has said that the problem is that mps at the moment seem to feel that mps at the moment seem to feel that they can act with impunity, and that they can act with impunity, and thatis that they can act with impunity, and that is also something that i have come across, speaking to a female mp this week it was particularly frustrated about this, and she said the same, the feeling is that there are not consequences for mps who crossed the line. 0bviously neil parish has had consequences, so we will see if this is the start of a change at westminster. find will see if this is the start of a change at westminster. and another bi roblem change at westminster. and another big problem a _ change at westminster. and another big problem a lot — change at westminster. and another big problem a lot of _ change at westminster. and another big problem a lot of households - change at westminster. and another big problem a lot of households are | big problem a lot of households are facing is the rising cost of living, the government under pressure to do more to help. what are opposition parties coming up with? this month of courses when _ parties coming up with? this month of courses when a _ parties coming up with? this month of courses when a lot _ parties coming up with? this month of courses when a lot of _ parties coming up with? this month of courses when a lot of those - parties coming up with? this month of courses when a lot of those price | of courses when a lot of those price rises, the eni can energy cap kicked in this month, and so did the national insurance rise, so people are saying less money in their pay packets, so this is why it is focused on them, we have local elections next week, a big campaign issue there. so there have been different course. the opposition parties, labour, the snp, liberal democrats, have all been calling for a windfall tax. labour wants to see it specifically on the profits of north sea oil and gas companies. here is what sir keir starmer told sophy ridge on sunday on sky earlier. we are not talking about the tax they didn't expect to make, were talking about tax on the profits they didn't expect to make, directly using that for the energy bills. how? £600 help with the energy bills for those that need it would be desperately needed and welcomed across the country. we also wouldn't introduce a tax, self—defeating tax, at the worst possible time. this week many people got their pay slip and they have looked at that and see that their bills are going up in the payslip is less because the government have hit me even more tax on a cost of living crisis. the government had been fairly resistant in previous months to the idea of a windfall tax. they have said they have been doing things to help people in the cost of living and they pointed to the £150 council tax rebate which is starting to go into some people's bank accounts from this month, the £200 that will come off energy bills next year and then people will repay it over time, so they say they are taking action. this issue of windfall taxes come up again, because the business secretary, kwasi kwarteng, has written to north sea oil and gas companies, telling them that they need to reinvest their profits in domestic supply, particularly in cleaner, greener energy, which he said will bring down bills in the long term. the chancellor seems to open the door again, though, to the idea of a windfall tax when he said fairly recently that if they weren't doing that, if they weren't seen to be investing, then he would open the door possibly to a windfall tax, so thatis door possibly to a windfall tax, so that is why it has come up again. however, kwasi kwarteng was speaking to the bbc earlier and he made it pretty clear that he was against the idea, but he didn't rule out it happening. i've always been publicly against them. i know you have, but you are having conversations with the chancellor. that is up to him in the budget. he will make that decision. so has the government ruled it out? as i said, he and i talk about these things all the time. he has always been pro—investment. so the chancellor hasn't ruled it out? i'm not going to be here on the programme ruling out what the chancellor is or isn't going to do in the october budget. that is not myjob. but it is still on the table for the government? as he said, he is responsible for the budget, and he is going to look at all— the budget, and he is going to look at all options. 50 the budget, and he is going to look at all options-— at all options. so opposition arties at all options. so opposition parties on — at all options. so opposition parties on the _ at all options. so opposition parties on the whole - at all options. so opposition parties on the whole would l at all options. so opposition i parties on the whole would like at all options. so opposition - parties on the whole would like to see a windfall tax notjust on energy companies but all large companies that profited from the pandemic. they also want to see that money that is coming off energy bills later in the year to become a straight grant so people wouldn't have to pay it back. the liberal democrats also backed an energy tax, but they want to see people's vat cut on things as well to provide an immediate tax cut. they say that that could happen in the queen's speech, that would be usual, but they believe there are ways to do that, and that comes next week. here is ed davey the liberal democrat leader speaking this morning and explaining more about what they would do. millions of pensioners and families are really— millions of pensioners and families are really worried about the cost of living _ are really worried about the cost of living they— are really worried about the cost of living. they are pretty annoyed that the conservative government seems to be making _ the conservative government seems to be making it worse with tax rises. boris _ be making it worse with tax rises. borisjohnson doesn't be making it worse with tax rises. boris johnson doesn't seem to care, he doesn't _ boris johnson

cut, a cut in vat worth £600 a year, and that would actually— worth £600 a year, and that would actually help smaller businesses struggling in the high street, and it would — struggling in the high street, and it would be good for our economy. soi so i think the one thing we can definitely gather is that this is not an issue that is going to go away, and it will become increasingly dominant over the coming months, if not the dominant political issue.— political issue. maybe even as far as the next _ political issue. maybe even as far as the next general— political issue. maybe even as far as the next general election, - political issue. maybe even as far as the next general election, as l political issue. maybe even as far i as the next general election, as we were talking earlier. thank you for that update. the chairman of asda, lord rose, has warned that food prices are likely to increase further, as people continue to grapple with rising inflation. the cost of living hit a 30—year high of 7% in the 12 months to march. lord rose, who is a conservative peer, urged the government to do more to help tackle the crisis, but acknowledged it "couldn't solve all the problems". earlier we asked our colleague to find out a bit more about this. lard find out a bit more about this. lord rose certainly _ find out a bit more about this. lord rose certainly seems _ find out a bit more about this. last rose certainly seems to think it is bad news. he wouldn't predict exactly how high he thinks prices will go, but his message today was clear, that prices would go higher and that they would stay high for some time to come. and of course as we havejust been hearing, food prices are going up all around us, the prices of everyday goods have been increasing, and that is really putting pressure on household budgets. and the whole situation has really been exacerbated by the war in ukraine, because that has really fuelled the price of things like wheat and oil and other commodities, so lord rose was speaking on the sunday morning show for the bbc today, and he was asked where he thinks food prices would be in the years to come. thinks food prices would be in the years to come-— thinks food prices would be in the years to come. there is going to be a new level — years to come. there is going to be a new level of _ years to come. there is going to be a new level of cost _

we have had a warning about the cost - to navigate. and we have had a warning about the cost of - to navigate. and we have had a i warning about the cost of chicken, haven't we? that is right, that is a warning that has come from another supermarket boss, the chief executive of co—op, and he is warning that chicken could end up being as expensive as beef, and that is because of the rising price of chicken feed. and as we have just been talking about, wheat prices have been soaring in recent months, and wheat is a major component in chicken feed, so that is part of the reason why prices are going up there, and what he predicted was that if chicken prices keep going up in this way, we may see family switching to other meats or indeed vegan alternatives. to the war in ukraine now. the united nations is conducting what it calls a safe passage operation for civilians who have been trapped at the azovstal speed works in mariupol. it is thought dozens of civilians have been released from where they have been trapped for many weeks. hundreds of others are still trapped there, along with ukrainian troops still holding out against russian forces. joe inwood has sent this report. there is no doubt this is a breakthrough, albeit a small one. these shots were released by the russian ministry of defence and claim to show the first group of civilians to leave the azovstal steelworks. they have been trapped there for weeks, alongside the last ukrainian forces in mariupol, in increasingly dire conditions. the exact number who left is disputed. the russians say 46 in two groups. they were seen this morning arriving at a village near the russian border. it is claimed they are being processed by separatist, although accompanied by un and red cross staff. the ukrainian deputy commander inside the steelworks confirmed the ceasefire had held, but said more people needed evacuation. translation: i emphasise that we want to guarantee i the evacuation, notjust of civilians, but also our wounded servicemen, who require urgent medical attention. meanwhile, one of the most senior us politicians was in kyiv. nancy pelosi's visit was signalling notjust america's increased financial commitment to ukraine, but also increasing diplomatic support. we believe that we are visiting you to say thank you for your fight for freedom, that we are on a frontier of freedom and that your fight is a fight for everyone. and so, our commitment is to be there for you until the fight is done. but nancy pelosi wasn't the only high—profile american visitor this weekend. the actress, activist and un envoy angelina jolie has been here in lviv. she visited the railway station, where she met children displaced by the conflict. you're so cute. and the numbers forced from their homes are increasing all the time. it is now thought 13 million people have been displaced by the conflict. there is no sign of that situation improving any time soon. these ukrainian forces are heading to the front lines of the donbas. that is where, last night, president zelensky said russia was massing its forces ahead of an expected push. with many civilians still in their path, it will notjust be soldiers who will pay with their lives. joe inwood, bbc news, lviv. let's get an update on the situation in ukraine now live. my colleague ben brown has been travelling around kyiv and sent us this. hello, iam hello, i am joined hello, iamjoined here hello, i am joined here in kyiv by a former ambassador to the united states. first of all let me ask you about the situation in mariupol.

katie taylor beat amanda serrano in a classic at madison square garden in new york. that iconic boxing venue has seen it's fair share of thrillers and the first women's boxing headliner there joins that list. ade adedoyin was there. and still the undisputed lightweight champion of the world... _ katie taylor retaining her world titles after a battling and bruising encounter. a career—defining performance and a defining night for the sport. serrano, all smiles on the way to the ring. taylor, calm and composed. but it didn't take long for things to heat up. both found the target early. then taylor decided to fight fire with fire in the fifth, and almost paid the price. the champion showing incredible reserves of courage to survive over the next two rounds. but in a fight of fluctuating fortunes, she rallied in the late rounds. the final few seconds of the bout, an incredible feat. a brilliant finish to a brilliant contest. a performance from both fighters that more than lived up to the occasion. this was billed as the biggest bout in women's boxing. and what a way to write their names in the history of this iconic venue. it was absolutely a special, special moment. the best night of my career, for sure. i wasn't sure if anything could reach my olympic gold medal moment, but tonight was absolutely the best moment of my career. the fight lived up to the hype and there is already a clamourfor a rematch, possibly in ireland. this blockbuster bout the perfect showcase for the rise of women's boxing. ade adedoyin, bbc news, new york. before we go don't forget the final of the world snooker championship is under way at the crucible. ronnie 0'sullivan has just gone 4—1 up againstjudd trump. it's live now on bbc two and the bbc sport website and app. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. isaac, thank you for that update. we are going to return to our top story now. yesterday the mp neil parish resigned as an mp after admitting that he had watched pornography twice in parliament, and earlier i spoke to a barrister who focuses on women's rights, and i began by asking her how widespread is this sort of behaviour in the workplace. by, is this sort of behaviour in the workplace-— is this sort of behaviour in the workplace. is this sort of behaviour in the worklace. ~ ., ., ,, , . workplace. a lot has happened since the me too — workplace. a lot has happened since the me too movement _ workplace. a lot has happened since the me too movement in _ workplace. a lot has happened since the me too movement in 2016 - workplace. a lot has happened since the me too movement in 2016 and l the me too movement in 2016 and 2017, but we didn't really see the cultural revolution in terms of a shift towards how women are treated in the workplace, to the extent that sexual harassment continues, and is notjust in westminster, it is across the board. i see it in the legal profession as a barrister and from other women that i work with that experience sexual harassment in other walks of life, and we know that where professions are male dominated, so whether that is in the media, in hollywood, in finance and law, in politics, and power is held and concentrated largely by men and the structures in place don't always make sexual harassment transparent, and perpetrators are not held accountable, it can create a culture where sexual harassment becomes rife, and men are not held accountable and so structures become complicit in that, and that was one of the problems with me too. whilst we saw women speaking out in great numbers about harassment in the workplace, what we didn't see as the institutional structures in place to hold men accountable for their actions. for example, neil parish. he was eventually named, but as i understand not necessarily named immediately by the party, there was no inquiry that was undertaken because he resigned before that, but he was very reluctant to resign in the first place, and he even had the gall, the confidence, to speak on gb news about the fact that someone had been accused of watching pornography and we all know now it was him. and yet he felt confident enough to be able to go on to the media, to speak about that, which shows the type of privilege that many men have in these positions in being able to objectify women in this way, and it is normal and it is i'm afraid commonplace and highly prevalent. plant a tree for the jubilee. that's the message from the prince of wales today as he invites nature—lovers to mark the queen's 70—year reign. it's part of a scheme called "the queen's green canopy", which will also dedicate 70 ancient woodlands to her majesty. here's more from our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. newsreel: after the spade work, a good watering ensured - that the seedling got a proper start in life. she has, over the 70 years of her reign, planted many a tree to mark a visit by the monarch. buckingham palace estimates it must be something like 1,500. but the planting of trees has much more than a merely symbolic significance. they are, of course, vital to the environment. so plant a tree for thejubilee is the message being pushed today by the prince of wales, no mean tree—planter himself. and to launch the queen's green canopy, 70 of the oldest trees and most ancient woodlands around the united kingdom have been identified. one of the ancient trees is at dumfries house in ayrshire. i am delighted, therefore, to have the opportunity to launch this project in the grounds of dumfries house under the majestic branches of this old sycamore, which predates the very house itself, having grown from seed more than 420 years ago. planted in 1599, or thereabouts, during the reigns of queen elizabeth i and king james vi, it is remarkable that this ancient tree is as old as shakespeare's hamlet and caravaggio's david and goliath. the purpose of the project, said the prince, was to conserve the united kingdom's natural heritage, to protect ancient woodlands and to plant many thousands of new trees in celebration of the queen's 70 years on the throne. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. hello. for those northern parts of the uk where april ended on such a 5°99y the uk where april ended on such a soggy note, the start of may has brought something drier and a little brighter. the
