point. sinn fein is pushing for the| governments in belfast and dublin point. sinn fein is pushing for the . governments in belfast and dublin to plan for what a united ireland might look like. fleshing out the details on things like health care and the economics of it all. and although there does not appear to be a majority year for it right now, sinn fein's electoral success will give more prominence to their campaign. for now, the problem for sinn fein is how to translate their victory into the real power. because unless there is agreement between parties, northern ireland remains in deadlock. the uk government says it is keeping all options on the table when it comes to resolving those problems with the brexit arrangements, the northern ireland protocol, we may see some indication in the queen's speech next week that they might be a willingness to overwrite parts of the protocol using new legislation, but of course, this is not going to please the eu. but unless we get some kind of breakthrough, we are going to see months of uncertainty here, too. the deputy prime minister, dominic raab, has accused sir keir starmer of "complete hypocrisy" after durham police re—opened an investigation into claims the labour leader broke lockdown rules last year. sir keir has strongly criticised borisjohnson about parties in downing street, and has denied doing anything wrong himself during a campaign trip before the hartlepool by—election. an itinery leaked to a sunday newspaper suggests sir keir�*s beer and curry had been planned in advance. our political correspondent, damian grammaticus has more he's always styled himself a man of probity, mr rules, one of his shadow cabinet put it today. and sir keir starmer would like the focus to be on the election results, yesterday celebrating advances in scotland. this was sir keir in april last year on the campaign trail. covid rules said you could gather indoors if it was reasonably necessary for work, but not to socialise outside your household or bubble. so was he breaking the law? durham police investigated and said no. they're reconsidering. a labour party schedule for the visit leaked to the mail on sunday shows the dinner was planned. that doesn't mean it broke regulations, but mr starmer is now in the spotlight and this makes it more awkward. a tweet sir keir sent when it emerged borisjohnson was under investigation saying honesty and decency matter, calling on the prime minister to do the decent thing and resign. when we called for borisjohnson to resign, he was under investigation for 12 gatherings that he said simply never happened, that he denied that he was at, that we now know included karaoke, bring your own bottle, garden parties. that was clearly not allowed under the rules. they made those rules. they broke the rules. they lied about it and they laughed about it. keir starmer has done not a single one of those things. borisjohnson, after months under pressure, may now be enjoying labour's discomfort. the conservatives' losses in the elections are not the story now, but the fact mr johnson has already been found to have broken the law and remains under investigation means tory attacks are muted. the prime minister refused to resign when he was fined during for for breaking lockdown rules. so keir starmer doesn't have to resign even if he's fined, does he? look, keir starmer has clearly got . a bunch of questions to ask in terms of how straightforward he's been i with the public and his answersi to beergate and also, frankly, the rank double standards. i that's for him. the liberal democrats, who would love to be talking about their electoral gains, the most of any party feel on firmer moral ground here. if he's found to have broken the law, does he have to resign? well, as i made really clear, i no politician is above the law. so that's a yes? so if any politician, _ be it keir starmer, borisjohnson, if they get a fixed penalty notice after a police investigation, - it's extremely difficult for them to continue. | so this could get even more difficult for sir keir and that won't change until durham police complete their investigation into his behaviour. damian grammaticus, bbc news. in ukraine, more than sixty people are feared to have died after the bombing of a school where civilians had been sheltering. the russian attack took place in the village of bilohorivka in the donbas region of eastern ukraine — as our correspondent laura bicker reports. this was a school in the village of bilohorivka. it was being used as a shelter, but it was hit by an air strike. around 60 people are feared dead under this rubble. russia is stepping up its assault on eastern and southern ukraine. in mariupol, they seek out the last ukrainian fighters held up in the vast azovstal steel plant.

critical of their government, saying they feel a bit abandoned but obviously, are also still in touch with them and have been told they need to keep up the defence, so a rather remarkable few hours or so. and with some quite interesting stuff coming out of azovstal. we will bring you up—to—date with what's going on diplomatically. the g7 leaders have been meeting virtually with volodomyr zelensky, the ukrainian leader, and a number of lines are coming out. remember, the g7 is the group of seven large economies. 0ne the g7 is the group of seven large economies. one of their statements coming out say they will take measures to pre—bid or otherwise prevent the provision of key services in which russia depends, that's an understatement. —— prohibit or prevent. they say they are committed to phasing out or banning the import of russian oil, according to a senior administration official, brought us by reuters news agency, which is usually important of course because russia depends on export of energy in order to finance any state activities. and germany in particular has been extremely reliant on energy, though germany has set along with the eu that it will phase out its purchase of russian energy. and also in the statement of g7 leaders, they call on russia to end its blockade and all other activities that further impede ukrainian for production and exports. ukraine is a huge farming producer, which many countries around the world rely on. so we will keep an eye on some of those lines coming out from the g7. in the meantime, to hong kong. hong kong's former security chief john lee has been elected as its new chief executive. mr lee oversaw crackdowns on pro—democracy protests in 2019 — and was the only candidate for the role, which is voted on by a pro—beijing committee. a small group of local activists marched as the announcement was made to protest against the selection process. 0ur correspondent in hong kong, danny vincent, told us what the appointment means for the future of hong kong's pro—democracy movement. since 2019, this city has changed in many, many ways. fundamentally speaking, many people describe this now as a police state. john lee's background in the police, in law enforcement, and his crackdown against the protest movement makes many people feel that there will be continued restrictions here. this morning, before the election, there was a very small protest, where three people decided to march the streets and claim, and call for universal suffrage. that is nothing compared to the thousands of protesters that would take to the streets almost every weekend in 2019. sojohn lee was the person that oversaw this crackdown, there's been more than 10,000 arrests since 2019, more than 100 national security law arrests, so there is the feeling here the the pro—democracy movement will continue to suffer under the leadership ofjohn lee. the hheadlines on bbc news... governments urge political parties in northern ireland to re—establish a devolved administration, after sinn fein became the largest party in the assembly. labour hits back at fresh claims over keir starmer�*s lockdown meal with colleagues — saying he didn't

aids crisis in the 1980s — is leading the nominations. 0ther nominations include one for ncuti gatwa, who hasjust been announced as the new dr who. 0ur entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba caught up with the new doctor on the red carpet, alongside writer russell t davies, who is back in charge from the next series. i have known since about february, so it has been tricky trying to keep this under wraps, because i have got a very big mouth, but yes, we did it. we did it. it feels amazing, it feels really amazing and it is a true honour. this role is an institution and it is so iconic and means a lot to so many people, including myself. it makes people feel seen. everyone can enjoy it so i feel very grateful to have had the baton handed over and i will do my best. have you always been a big drwho fan? anyone you want to model yourself on, or do your own thing as well? i am definitely going to do my own thing, definitely. they are all amazing, you cannot pick. i don't know who isn't a fan of dr who. i really don't know. so, yeah, very excited to join the family. russell, what was it about ncuti that made you think he is the person for the part? talent, it was the most blazing audition, it was our very last one, we thought we had someone and he came and stole it. genuinely, i watched sex education, loved his work, didn't quite know what we'd get until i was in the room and meeting you since, ncuti, it's going to be a joy, i am properly thrilled. it's going to be a blazing future. jodie still has one big special to go, she's the current doctor for the next few months, so i know you do not want to say too much about the future, but where are you on planning your new dr who empire and what made you come back to it after all the things you said — it's in the past, it's like going back to an old job or an old partner? it is a show that constantly renews itself. look at ncuti. it is always the chance to work with new talent, like the it's a sin cast, that's what drives me every day. doctor who always has something new to say and we are not giving away anything yet. jodie is still the doctor, we love her, i spoke to her yesterday, she is so happy about this, but we're going to keep quiet, and it's all going to happen in 2023. what are you most excited about with all of this? to battle aliens for a really long time! i can't wait to do that. thejob is going to be, and is already, really creatively fulfilling, so i'm just excited to take on the role. much pressure? yes, but i feel like i can handle it. pressure is good. pressure is good, yeah. pressure is good. ncuti gatwa and russell davies there, handling the pressure. and the winners at the baftas are starting to come through. ant and dec�*s saturday night takeaway has claimed the first award of the

pandemic, which also starsjodie comer and stephen graham. joining me now is film critic, lillian crawford. let's go through the baftas first. what you make of the early winners and what are you hoping to see? i think it's very exciting is that we had the craft awards last week, that was great to see so many different programmes doing well. nothing for it is a sin yet, which is surprising. —— nothing for it's a sin. we have the main categories to come so it'll be interesting to see. it's a sin, why is that leading the nominations? what was so good it? i think it was quite a radical new look at the aids crisis, particularly coming from russell t davies. he didn't win the writing award, but it's very exciting that he's bringing more of these sort of storylines to the screen, and hopefully he will be able to bring some of that back to doctor who. incredible that he seems to be at the fulcrum of almost every story today! i don't know if he planned it that way. he is cost ncuti gatwa as the new time lord, what can we expect from him as the new doctor who? i expect from him as the new doctor who? ., , , ., ., . ,, who? i mean, his performance in sex education is — who? i

processions all over russia to commemorate the soviet victory over nazi germany in 1945. as always, flags flutter from almost every building and shop windows are decorated with golden stars. but this year will be different. russia is at war once again — this time with its neighbour. steve rosenberg reports. this time of year, the traffic in moscow gets rather heavy. it's the final practice for the annual military parade. victory day marks the defeat of hitler's germany. but this year, putin's rush is on the offensive. rehearsing on red square what moscow says our paratroopers back from ukraine. russia's invasion there is been presented here is another glorious chapter in russia's history. and so you get this. in the run—up to victory day, across russia, organised displays of the letter z, a symbol of russia's offensive in ukraine, from schools to stallions. at this sports festival outside moscow, we found lots of letters ats. patriotic pe to support the army. many here believe the kremlin's parallel reality which portrays russia as a victim, not the aggressor. nato's pressuring us, says natalia. "we will fight to the end." "they have risen from how to destroy us, the fascist, the americans, everyone who is against russians." she says. but it was president putin who started this by attacking ukraine. more than two months later, he appears farfrom more than two months later, he appears far from victory. he will be hoping that memories of world war ii will at least rally russians behind the kremlin. the defeat of nazi germany was a glorious moment in russian history but today the kremlin is using that victory, using the past, to try to justify the present. it is mobilising the patriotic fervour of victory day to secure public support for russia's offensive in ukraine. and that continues. kremlin critics warn that what russia is doing now in ukraine, what russia is doing now in ukraine, what much of the world calls a war of conquest, casts a shadow over russia's great victory in world war ii. , russia's great victory in world war ||. , . ., y russia's great victory in world war ||. ,. ., russia's great victory in world war ii. this victory, it was for our future. and _ ii. this victory, it was for our future. and now, _ ii. this victory, it was for our future. and now, we - ii. this victory, it was for our future. and now, we lost - ii. this victory, it was for our future. and now, we lost our ii. this victory, it was for our- future. and now, we lost our future future. and now, we lost ourfuture because of one man and his name is vladimir putin. he stole our future. he stole this victory. he stole our history. he stole this victory. he stole our histo . , , . , he stole this victory. he stole our histo. ,, ., ,. _, history. russians can celebrate the ast. it's history. russians can celebrate the past- its the _ history. russians can celebrate the past. it's the future _ history. russians can celebrate the past. it's the future that's - past. it's the future that's uncertain. now it's time for a look at the weather with susan. hello. plenty of sunshine and plenty of warmth across the uk this sunday, and the trees are having a lovely time, unfurling their new green leaves and releasing a lot of pollen. if you have been outside and have been struggling, it's not a great surprise as levels are high for the majority of the uk. the settled weather picture comes courtesy of this big area of high pressure but it's gradually drifting eastwards now, and these weather fronts will start to sweep towards the north—west of the uk through the evening and overnight. across england and wales, it remains fine, there could be a bit of mist and fog developing for early monday, quite chilly in some eastern areas, parts of east anglia, the far south—east could get down to just two or three. much milderfor scotland could get down to just two or three. much milder for scotland and northern ireland, because are sitting under a bank of cloud, it will be windier here and some rain by dawn. through the weekend, windier more unsettled story, really a contrast to last week, high pressure sitting to the east of us and these areas of low pressure will play a bigger role. through monday, windy for scotland and northern ireland, wet from the get go, rain pushing towards the north—west of england and wales towards the afternoon. across the england and wales, still a lot of fine weather for the majority and some warmth, 20, 21, 22. northern ireland and scotland cooler and wetter but one payoff here is that we will have much lower pollen levels, the pollen washed out by the rain. monday into tuesday, this low will drift eastwards so windy for all of us, these weather fronts sink south across the uk but by the time they get into england and wales on tuesday, at the moment, looking like there will be nothing more than perhaps some ticker cloud for a time, perhaps the odd shower a bit of rain. unlike these showers which look set to cloud into western scotland, the course of tuesday and into wednesday, these could produce some really significant rainfall totals for western scotland. and the biggest question the forecast for the week ahead is where this anger of low pressure set to develop in the atlantic on wednesday will go to wednesday daytime for how quickly it had across england and wales? how far south or north will sit? at the moment our model has a largely largely fine day for england and wales on wednesday, looking like the rain will come into wednesday night into thursday. there looking a bit severe. i do watch this space. —— thursday looking more soggy. hello, this is bbc news with james reynolds. the headlines. governments urge political parties in northern ireland to re—establish a devolved administration, after sinn fein became the largest party in the assembly. that's a first for a nationalist party. the issue of the post—brexit protocol, though, could complicate the way forward. labour hits back at fresh claims over keir starmer�*s lockdown meal with colleagues, saying he didn't break covid rules. more than 60 people are thought to have been killed after a russian bomb hit a school in eastern ukraine. and actor shooti gatwa has been announced as the new doctor in doctor who. he'll take over from jodie whittaker next year. now on bbc news, the media show. a warning, this programme contains content some viewers may find upsetting. hello. today, we're looking at two stories about power and how it can be abused. the first is the tale of an mp caught looking at porn in the house of commons and what it might tell us about the culture of political reporting at westminster.
