just take seat in there for me, lucy. that's one of the questions that a newly announced independent inquiry will address. but there has been some criticism of its parameters. i do feel that there are some issues around the non—statutory decision in terms of the inquiry. a non—statutory inquiry would mean that witnesses are not compelled to give evidence, and i think that there are risks that uncooperative witnesses may not come forward and co—operate with it. the inquiry will examine the experience of consultants at the countess of chester hospital who say senior managers ignored their concerns about letby for many months. it was secretive. it wasjudgmental. there was no credibility given to our opinions. and from january 2017, it was intimidating. bullying to a certain extent. the consultants believe that lucy letby could have been murdering babies and yet they were forced to send her this apology letter, which says, we'd like to apologise for any inappropriate comments. we're very sorry for the stress and upset that you've experienced during the past year. whilst lucy letby was working at the hospital, it was promoting itself as being a supportive environment for staff. this video has emerged of the former chief executive in 2014. as a chief exec, i pledge to support a culture where the front line staff are supported in raising concerns and more importantly, me listening to them when they do. tony chambers has told the bbc that as chief executive, my focus was on the safety of the baby unit and the well—being of patients and staff. i was open and inclusive as i responded to information and guidance. the trial and the lengthy police investigation have shown the complex nature of the issues raised. there are also fresh calls for legislation to force criminals to appear in court for sentencing. lucy letby has said she won't be there on monday when sentences passed. we saw it last year in the olivia, the nine year old in liverpool case, it seems to happen with murders quite frequently, unfortunately, where the defendant, the accused after conviction, doesn't want to see the sentencing. but the sentence is notjust about what the judge says. the sentencing is also about the victim's personal statements. the babies�* families will tell the court about the impact that lucy letby�*s actions have had on them. eight years after she first murdered, their grief is still raw. their anger is clear. live now to dr dan rusu, lecturer in criminology at birmingham city university. thank you so much forjoining us. i'm interested, if you can, to give us an insight into the mindset of people like lucy letby. what motivates them? in people like lucy letby. what motivates them?— people like lucy letby. what motivates them? , ., ., motivates them? in

they were merciful and tried to end the suffering of their patients and of course that is nonsense. you will find some of these individuals do suffer from this complex of wanting to be a hero and actually put their patients in danger so they can actually save them afterwards and be praised for that but it does not seem to me like these two notifications are what pushed lucy letby to commit those crimes but rather a need for control and excitement from what i could see in the media. itruiith and excitement from what i could see in the media-— in the media. with that all considered, _ in

would you say are the usual red flags to pick up with regards to health care killers? this is actually quite — regards to health care killers? ti 3 is actually quite interesting because lucy letby is quite an extraordinary case in that sense because the red flags i will suggest or underline are not necessarily all applicable to her but what has been identified is that these individuals tend to have a problem with drug misuse or have been diagnosed with a personality disorder in the past to make very odd comments around their colleagues and to make them feel anxious and to kind of change employment quite often and they have a hard incident of murder... not murder but death on their words and this is what is extraordinary about this is what is extraordinary about this case because it does not seem like all these flags apply to the case and in fact not only should that make odd comments but being quite integrated in the hospital, very good at what american sociologists would say is depression management and manipulating the impressions of others of her and as we've all read and print media, the face of public funding campaigns so actually deflecting attention away from her which made it ever so much more difficult to think of her as being capable of such violence. briefly, what can we take from this incident? what learnings are there to make sure there are not more undetected

rather than when it is just too late and also we need to foster a culture of whistle—blowing. even the great majority of nurses, 99%, are absolutely doing a greatjob in this country and we should be thankful for that. there are cases of health care workers who are capable of such violence and if we understand that we would not be so bewildered when we would not be so bewildered when we come across that. there are other things that should be being put in place like spotting emotional distress earlier, offering more support to health care workers and so on. ., ~' support to health care

injured in a russian missile attack on the city of chernihiv. officials said a theatre on the main square was targeted. video from the scene shows glass and debris blown across nearby streets, as well as a number of bodies. president zelensky posted online urging the world to stand up to what he called russian terror. chernihiv is close to the border with belarus. well in the past hour president

developments out of ukraine. what do we know about what happened? we know that the missile landed at around 1130 local time hitting, yes, the central square in chernihiv where there is a theatre that was very badly damaged. also a university building that it seems it was hopefully not occupied because it was a saturday morning and there are reports people were queueing for church. the casualties of this attack, i have to say, the number of injuries is going up all the time in the latest referred now from the interior minister in ukraine is 110 people injured with many very seriously injured and we heard about the 12—year—old girl so badly injured she could not be treated in chernihiv so she has been racing an alarm goes towards kyiv. there are also a six—year—old child among those killed in descriptions of bodies lying around and we do think it was a ballistic missile that caused the attack, that is what we've heard from the regional governor, not shelling and not a drone attack. i5

ukrainian military figures, were among the guests. we have to say we are not sure of that and we do not know if this is why russia chose to target chernihiv at this time, russia likes to claim it only targets military people and it says it never deliberately target civilians despite the huge number of civilians despite the huge number of civilians attacked since russia attacked ukraine. thank you. russian president putin has paid a visit to rostov—on—don, the city which has become the headquarters for its military offensive in ukraine. video footage showed him arriving at night and being greeted by the country's military chief, valery gerasimov. it's the first time mr putin has been to rostov since it was briefly the site of a mutiny by mercenaries from the wagner group. a statement from the kremlin said only that he heard reports from mr gerasimov on the progress what it refers to as the "special operation" in ukraine. staying with ukraine now — kyiv has welcomed the white house's decision to allow denmark and the netherlands to send american—built fighterjets to ukraine. they will be delivered once ukrainian pilots have finished their training to fly them. the us and its allies had previously ruled out providing f—16s to ukraine fearing it would lead to further escalation with a nuclear—armed russia. ukraine is believed to have dozens of combat aircraft — mostly migs — all dating from the soviet era, and the country is currently badly outgunned by russia in the air. live now to kharkiv, dan sabbagh is the guardian newspaper's defence editor there. thank you so much forjoining us. ukraine has been pushing for these for a long time. america has finally given the green light and it feels like a significant moment. it is given the green light and it feels

having a far larger and more capable airforce and not having a far larger and more capable air force and not using having a far larger and more capable airforce and not using it having a far larger and more capable air force and not using it very much despite endless bombing of ukrainian cities, it has generally done so from a distance but ukraine needs fighterjets in order to really match that. when the west goes to war, one would expect they would have air power to bomb enemy positions and make it safer for ground troops to operate and ukraine has not had that which has made it very difficult with them now having less than weapons of all kinds, tanks and so forth that one of the reasons you see this neo— world war i style stalemate or near stalemate on the ground is the lack of air power so it wants the jets on the ground is the lack of air power so it wants thejets but on the ground is the lack of air power so it wants the jets but the question is when they will come and it could be a long time yet because pilots need to be trained and there must be an emphasis on them learning english before being trained even though some know english, it is the ground crews they want to learn english as well so it might not be talking about them coming to ukraine until possibly next summer as though they will want to make it earlier than that. ., ., y . , than that. you mention

from the ground to avoid enemy radar and carry out those tasks but they are up against russian jets which have long get missile range, very difficult for them. right now if they had the f-i6s them. right now if they had the f—16s and in enough quantity, half a dozen will not make the difference, you need a few dozen, a couple of dozen to really make a potential difference. they could use it in a very targeted way and potentially shorten the war and what ukraine badly needs now is to show momentum on the battlefield which is what these jets can potentially do. these 'ets can potentially do. thank ou these jets can potentially do. thank ou so these jets can potentially do. thank you so much- _ now it's time for a look at today's sport with hugh ferris. hello from the bbc sport centre. for england and spain, it's the night before the morning after with both teams involved in the women's world cup final preparing for the biggest day of their sporting lives when they wake up in australia. they've had their final training sessions ahead of sunday's meeting in sydney with england's players speaking about how manager sarina wiegman has taken the fear factor away. while it's a first finalfor the squad, for wiegman, it isn't. her netherlands team were runners up in 2019 and while she's been trying to keep the players relaxed, wiegman is aware of the challenge ahead. it will be one

off the field problems between players and coach over the last year. however, those that remain in the squad insist the experience of this competition has brought them closer together. translation: since the beginning, the players have been united, - have been working. today will be our 75th training session and all of us have been working. everything that has been happening off the pitch has been extraordinary. we are going to have memories for all our lives. we have enjoyed ourselves and tomorrow we want to celebrate together. the co—hosts australia surpassed expectations by getting to the semi—finals. but their hopes of finishing 3rd and getting bronze medals were ended by sweden. the swedes are the highest ranked team in the last four and made it count in the 3rd place play off in brisbane. kosse asllani scored a stunning second after an earlier penalty and 2—0 is how it finished. the world athletics championships are underway in budapest despite the start being delayed by a thunderstorm in the hungarian capital. the first medal of the competition went to spain in the men's 20km race walk as alvaro martin took the gold in a world—leading time. a total of four golds will be handed out today. you can keep across all the action on the bbc sport website. as another olympic test event was unable to take place in the city's river seine. the swimming leg didn't happen

made to "not put the health and safety of the athletes at risk". we're only a few weeks away from another world cup getting under way and there are more warm up matches today before the rugby world cup. england play in dublin against ireland later. while wales are up against world champions south africa in the next hour and for their players it's the last chance to impress before their squad for the tournament in france is named. we've got some people coming in who are extremely excited to get another chance. and we see it as an extremely exciting opportunity for us. we worked extremely hard over the last 13, 1a weeks and now it's the last chance for everybody to put their hand up and go, "right, i want to be in the world cup." warren gatland name that's what on monday. —— names that squad on monday. and that's all the sport for now. more on the women's world cup. it was disappointment for the co—hosts australia, as they were beaten 2—0 by sweden, who claimed third place. and now

by a huge wildfire, have been scrambling to leave. an official deadline to evacuate has already passed. our north america correspondent peter bowes reports the scale of the emergency facing yellowknife and its 20,000 residents can be seen in these satellite images. smoke billowing over the remote city as fire rages all around. everyone is trying to get out. there have been long queues at petrol stations and for buses to ferry people to safety. there is just a few belongings and their pets, but how to get out is the problem. air is going to become the only option at some point if the fire keeps encroaching further and further toward yellowknife. there is just the one road south to the rest of canada. it's a small road — one lane in either direction for about 400 miles, 600 or so kilometres. it is a huge distance. there is virtually no infrastructure to get people out by road. dozens of planes have left the city over the past few days and more flights are being arranged by the canadian military. the federal government has promised that no—one will be left behind. scary. i keep crying. i don't even know how long we are going to be away. it is a race against time for yellowknife. officials fear strong winds could fan the flames towards the outskirts of the city within hours. this is a country under siege from wildfires — a separate blaze in the west threatening

national geological park. that is the hot air balloon festival taking place in china. stay with us here on bbc news. i'm gareth barlow, thanks for watching. hello there. it was a bit of a stormy spell of weather overnight friday into saturday with storm betty, but things are improving through the weekend with sunny spells and scattered showers for many parts of the uk. let's take a look at the next few hours across the uk. you can see the remnants of storm betty, with heavy rain still with us through the northern isles, and a wrap—around with cloud and rain through parts of western scotland, in towards northern ireland, but improving here through the afternoon with sunny skies. and for much of england and wales, some sunshine and scattered showers. temperatures across the east and southeast in the mid 20s, that's above average, and many north sea coasts feeling warmer than it did yesterday. as we head into this evening and indeed tonight, that low pressure that was storm betty still towards the north—west, giving us a north—west, south—east split. so taking a look through the course of saturday evening, most of that heavy rain clearing away but still breezy if not windy around some western coast through western parts of scotland and the hebrides and around irish sea coasts, too, but not the strength of wind we saw. elsewhere, dry, one ortwo showers, and temperatures lower than last night. now, of course, on sunday, all eyes on sydney for that big game in the fifa world cup final, and after a pleasant winter's day in sydney, by the time we reach kick—off, we're looking at temperatures around about the mid to high teens, plenty of sunshine, although a breeze coming in from the west. so for those looking to watch the game outdoors here at home, it's largely dry on sunday with some sunshine, a few showers around. at times, we could see a few lines of showers coming in through parts of south wales in towards the southern midlands. once again, its parts of england and the south east of england that have the driest, warmest weather, cooler further north, breezy as well. next week, that low pressure still with us to the north, perhaps tracking around east and west again at times, with higher pressure further south and east. and that means we still have that north—west, south—east split. you can see on monday, wet weather in towards parts of northern ireland and western scotland as well. but eastern scotland and for much of england dry with some sunshine, a few showers in towards wales, and once again, temperatures in the south east reaching the mid 20s, further north not too bad. so just to recap, through the course of the weekend into next week in the south, it's dry and settled, a little more unsettled, though, as we head further north. that's the forecast for now. this is bbc news. the headlines: the uk government's been urged to strenghten the independent inquiry it's announced into the crimes of lucy letby. she's the nurse who was
