"we thank him for his contribution and wish him well with his future endeavours. " we've also had a statement from dan wootton himself. he says he's left gb news to launch his own independent platform. he said that in a statement. it's unclear whether he left or whether he was made to leave because of course, this all comes after and as episode of his show was deemed to have broken broadcasting rules. that was concluded yesterday by the media regulator ofcom. you may remember it was big news at the time that there was a show, and episode where he had the broadcaster lawrence fox and comments made about a female politicaljournalist prompted more than 8,000 complaints, complaining that his remarks were sexist, offensive and misogynist. 0fcom said mr wootton�*s reaction did not mitigate the potential for offence. it said it exacerbated by contribution to the narrative in which a woman's value was judged by her physical appearance. so, we have just learned there that gb news has parted ways with dan wootton, who was one of their main presenters in their prime time line up. hejoined their prime time line up. hejoined the network before its launch, but he is now, according to the statement, no longer employed by them. mr wootton himself said he's going to be launching his own independent platform. we'll have more on that story as and when we get it. scotland's first minister humza yousaf is "very open" to the call from murder victim emma caldwell�*s family for a statutory public inquiry into the investigation of her murderer. that's according to scotland'sjustice secretary. emma caldwell�*s mother, margaret caldwell, and family held a meeting with the mr yousaf and justice secretary angela constance — just days after iain packer was convicted of the 2005 murder of her 27—year—old daughter, as well as raping and abusing multiple women. a series of police blunders meant packer was only convicted of emma's murder last week. (read 0n) this is the statement that was made following the meeting by the caldwell family lawyer aamer anwar. margaret caldwell wishes to thank the first minister and thejustice secretary for meeting her today. they treated her with total compassion and empathy, and she hopes they will deliver on the many promises they made today. the first minister promised that he will give primary consideration to the family's demands for a statutory public inquiry. and thejustice secretary, angela constance, promised she will update parliament within days on their decision. since the murder of emma in 2005, many in the police will argue things things have changed significantly. we do not accept this. in 2023, sir ian livingstone, whilst chief constable of police scotland, spoke of the misogyny within the police service. we know that evidence exists, that the abduction, rape and murder of emma caldwell and the subsequent rapes of women might have been prevented or at least disrupted, had allegations against packer been properly investigated. the family are angry to read reports in the newspapers today that the crown office has concluded following an independent investigation, that there was insufficient evidence of criminality on the part of any police officer involved in the investigation of emma's murder. such a conclusion is insulting to the family and contrasts sharply with the evidence presented by former police officers of their investigation into ian packer being sabotaged in order to pursue a false allegation against four turkish men. women not only live in fear of violence on an everyday basis, they live in fear of those who police us, the fear of not being believed, of being dismissed as emma was, and the fear of abuse by men in power. these are realfears, not imagined, and sadly, there are all too many examples of police officers assaulting women and children, sexist behaviour and comments caused by misogyny. how many women have to die or be raped before our police service and criminaljustice system is held to account? we welcome the public statements of humza yousaf on tackling misogyny and violence against women, and we hope he will now commit to a robust and independent public inquiry on the catastrophic failures in the emma caldwell case. here in the uk, medical leaders have backed an increase in the number of physician associates working for the health service. they're health professionals who play supporting role to doctors — they don't have a medical degree and shouldn't make diagnoses unsupervised. but they're now coming under the same regulator as general practitioners, and some are worried this could blur the lines between doctors and physician associates. 0ur reporter gem 0'reilly has more. to lose a child is terrible. but when you find out that your daughter's death was preventable and should have been prevented, it's just devastating. it's torture. emily would have been celebrating her 32nd birthday this year and performing in musicals like she dreamt of. but, in november 2022, those dreams were destroyed when emily died of a pulmonary embolism. emily had a pain in her left calf, and she phoned the doctor's surgery. it didn't get better, so she made an appointment and was seen by a physician's associate. we believed, and she believed at the time it was a doctor, but it wasn't. the physician's associate diagnosed emily with a sprain and anxiety. she actually had a blood clot in her left calf. emily's condition worsened and she collapsed. she died in hospital three weeks after her 30th birthday. 0ur emotions range still. disbelief, i think is the major one. emily's gp surgery told the bbc it was deeply saddened by her death, adding that... adding that staff have been told to be transparent with patients about who they're seeing. a physician's associate, or when they were first founded, the physician's assistant, was there — someone to, well, as the name suggests, literally help the physician. i can understand why there's this confusion out there, but there shouldn't be a point that we're putting these individual — these patients — their families at risk by not having them seen with someone with the full training that it takes to manage both the simple but also the complex and the uncertainty. this year will see the regulation of physician and anaesthetic associates, which will allow the general medical council to oversee their training and validate if they are fit to practise. legislation has recently been passed for regulation of _ physician associates, which is great news. | regulation provides a mechanism for reporting any concerns, - which will improve patient safety and reduce patient harm. - so, this should help correct that and give confidence . in the workforce that any - concerns are being overseen. the faculty of physician associates makes it clear that they are health care professionals, working in multidisciplinary teams with the supervision of doctors. it says regulation is vital to improving patient care and growing the profession. if pas are here to stay in the nhs, they have a role to play, then there needs to be some sort of patient information campaign to ensure that they know who it is that they're speaking to and what that person's skill set is. emily chesterton�*s is an isolated incident, but her family wants there to be more transparency so patients know who they're seeing. be aware, be proactive, don't be passive, and, if in doubt, ask... i will ask for a gp's appointment. don'tjust assume that you are seeing a fully—qualified gp because you may not be. gem 0'reilly, bbc news. gem is in our newsroom. your report raise some concerns that people have, in that case the family said they didn't realise that it was a physician associate who was treating their loved one. is it clear enough, the distinction when a physician associate is seeing a patient compared with a gp? that's what the bma _ patient compared with a gp? that's what the bma have _ patient compared with a gp? that's what the bma have actually - patient compared with a gp? that's what the bma have actually said, . what the bma have actually said, thatis what the bma have actually said, that is not clear at the moment, the needs to be outlined. there needs to be a patient awareness campaign. just to be really clear, for physician associates are basically assistance to doctors that can examine and diagnose patients with the overseeing of a senior doctor. they are to steeply different because doctors have five years as a medical degree, whereas a physician associates will have two years postgraduate in training. that not only follows a science undergrad, but that is not a prerequisite. the physician associates have a fantastic place to really make a difference. at this point, families have told the bbc the scope needs to be outlined and that there needs to be supervision of them that's regulated across the uk. those who su ort regulated across the uk. those who support the — regulated across the uk. those who support the position _ regulated across the uk. those who support the position of _ regulated across the uk. those who support the position of a _ regulated across the uk. those who support the position of a physician l support the position of a physician associate might say that this helps reduce the burden on gps who are already incredibly busy. yes. reduce the burden on gps who are already incredibly busy.— already incredibly busy. yes, that is what the _ already incredibly busy. yes, that is what the plan _ already incredibly busy. yes, that is what the plan is _ already incredibly busy. yes, that is what the plan is for _ already incredibly busy. yes, that is what the plan is for them, - already incredibly busy. yes, that is what the plan is for them, to i already incredibly busy. yes, that| is what the plan is for them, to be doing more simplistic tasks — taking patient data, taking histories like they would in a gp surgery so that doctors can be continuing with more complex cases in both primary and secondary health care settings. tibia secondary health care settings. 0k, gem 0 reilly. _ secondary health care settings. 0k, gem 0 reilly, thank you very much for the latest there. let's turn to sport. there's a warning about inequality there's a warning about "systemic gender inequality" in sports and exercise research, and a group of mps in the uk say the industry "must do better" for women and girls. the women and equalities committee highlight areas such as the design of football boots to support their findings. 0ur sports correspondent, katie gornall, reports. the profile of women's sport has never been higher. but despite the surge in media coverage and public interest, mps say women and girls, from the elite level down to the grassroots, are still being held back, with a new parliamentary report highlighting a lack of support for their health, and barriers they face at different stages of life. when it comes to puberty, the rate of drop—off for girls is incredibly high, and some of that to do with pe kit, and some of that's to do with pe kit, some of it's to do with the type of sports that are available to them. but primarily, we're really concerned about a lack of access to kit that is designed and structured for women, and the lack of research that ever goes into female sport. 0n research mps claim there's been a slow and disparate response 0n research, mps claim there's been a slow and disparate response to the disproportionately high number of acl injuries in women's football, something it says wouldn't happen in the men's game. the report also criticised the lack of boots designed specifically for women. and, in examining anxiety girls face around their periods, called for teaching around the menstrual cycle in schools to be drastically improved and start from an earlier age. among the wide ranging recommendations was for the government to convene a task force of experts to tackle these issues. former england goalkeeper rachael brown—finnis is one of the trailblazers of the women's game. having long experienced inequality in sport, its persistence is a source of frustration. excellent goalkeeping - from rachael brown—finnis. over 2 million women and girls who play football in this country make zero money out of it at all. _ and they are putting careers, their student lives, what they do alongside football, at risk, going onto the pitch, or going training because of a lack of education from the coaches who are coaching them, a lack of research into the equipment that they're using, the surfaces that they're playing on. do you think a report like this could help make a difference? awareness, education, and keep asking the questions, asking why things have been done, why things haven't been done, probing the questions, pushing for change, yes, we can make a difference. at a time when nothing should be holding female athletes back, change can't come soon enough. katie gornall, bbc news. conservative mp caroline nokes, who we briefly saw in that report, is the chair of the women and equalities committee. shejoins me now from westminster. thanks forjoining us. what's the most striking thing for you that come out of this report?- most striking thing for you that come out of this report? there is so much about — come out of this report? there is so much about the _ come out of this report? there is so much about the gendered _ come out of this report? there is so much about the gendered inequality that girls face from preschool to later life, and the thing for me, we have to make sure that women are supported to stay active, to find a love for physical activity in the school, but then keep doing it for the rest of their lives. and we want if we don't have the right kit, if we don't have the right structures in place and facilities that women can access are of low quality and the equipment they use is designed for men and simply not suitable for women. ~ ., ~' w' for men and simply not suitable for women. ~ . ~ .~' .,' , for men and simply not suitable for women. ~ . ~ , ., women. what kicked off this whole kind of research _ women. what kicked off this whole kind of research in _ women. what kicked off this whole kind of research in this _ women. what kicked off this whole kind of research in this report?

this has been the story earlier on. you can see where the cloud has been sitting across western scotland, through east anglia and down along the south coast. now, the weather front that brought the cloud stubbornly sitting along exposed east coasts, will continue to feed in quite a lot of cloud through the night, but more of a breeze here. and the cloud and the breeze will prevent temperatures from falling too far. but where we have got some clearer skies once again, well, we could see a touch of frost and maybe some patchy fog. favoured areas for that likely to be across east wales, the midlands and down towards dorset. a little more cloud towards the southwest and here, maybe a few scattered showers as we go through the day. but the frost will lift, there'll be some sunshine coming through — a better morning for northern ireland. we keep some cloud into eastern scotland and northeast england. the cloud will break up, but we could see a few isolated showers through lincolnshire down into the southeast, down into the southeast. temperatures in the sun, 11—12 degrees, where we keep the cloud, only around 7—9 celsius. not much change in the weather pattern as we go through friday. we still got this southeasterly flow continuing to drag in cloud from time to time off the north sea and a bit more of a strengthening breeze here. so, sheltered western areas seeing the best of the sunshine and potentially the warmth when that sunshine comes through. the cloud may be thick enough at times to produce the odd isolated shower. in terms of the feel of the weather, though, we're still looking at temperatures widely into the double digits. maybe if you keep that cloud lingering across the northeast coast, stronger breeze — 35—40 mile gusts of wind on friday before an area of low pressure could bring some showery outbreaks of rain into the southwest for the start of the weekend, so it looks somewhat like this. after a dry spell, we could see some wetter and windy weather into the far southwest. at six, the chancellor is expected to cut national insurance by two pence when he unveils his budget tomorrow. other measures may include a squeeze on council budgets in england. we'll report from birmingham, where councillors are about to vote on ways to save money. we'll get the latest from our experts chris mason and faisal islam. also tonight: donald trump looks set to be the man who takes on president biden in november's race for the white house. a toxic environment has taken hold in some of england's swimming clubs says a new review. the freak accident that left this 72—year—old woman unharmed but very famous. coming up on bbc news, england captain harry kane in champions league action is struggling club iron munich trail lacks 1—0 going into the second leg of the last 16. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. the chancellor will unveil his budget tomorrow — it could well be the last one before the general election. jeremy hunt will be putting the final touches to his speech tonight before delivering it in the commons at lunchtime. he's expected to announce a 2p cut to national insurance — and another freeze on fuel duty. but might he go even further with an election looming?
