hello. there have been more calls for rishi sunak to suspend his conservative candidates who are being investigated for alleged bets on when the general election would be held. insisting that multiple independent investigations are now under way. independent investigations are now underway. but independent investigations are now under way. but he said last night that any tories found to have broken betting rules would be booted out of the party. in the last couple of hours mr snack has been at the launch of the welsh conservatives manifesto. he once again promised to take action against anyone found to have broken gambling laws. there are multile have broken gambling laws. there are multiple investigations _ have broken gambling laws. there are multiple investigations currently - multiple investigations currently happening, it is right that those investigations are allowed to proceed. they are independent, necessarily confidential, as you would appreciate. there is also a criminal investigation, and these are potentially criminal matters, the police will be conducting those. because of that, i hope you can appreciate there is not more i can add. what i can say is that if anyone is found to have broken the rules, they should not only face the full consequences of the law, i will ensure that they are booted out of the conservative party to. the labour leader _ the conservative

is not on it any more it isjust afternoon, he is not on it any more it is just packed with reporters on the conservative campaign bus. there were two efforts byjournalists today to try to elicit more information from rishi sunak. following these election betting allegations and to see what he knew and when, he was asked if he thought any other tory figures might have placed potential bets at any point. after a lot of questions, really, over and over again, firstly at the launch of the tory manifesto for wales, and then again right here on this bus a bit further up when he was here earlier, in a kind of media huddle, where we all lobbed questions at him, he was very keen to stick to the lines that we basically heard him talk about... it may be that the line has got to just a dare. let's take you tojenny, jenny hill is with the liberal democrats campaign, also on a bus. jenny, it looks a bit clearer with you, certainly sunny. the liberal democrats making sure that they also are clear

and out, we are going to persevere. you are midway through telling me about rishi sunak quite keen to stay clear of what he knew and who knew what about when around those alleged bets on the date of the election. people will keep asking him about it because they want to know.— asking him about it because they want to know. yes, there are a lot of questions _ want to know. yes, there are a lot of

them somewhere a bit more stable, that agenda, that direction is out of their hands, they are on the bus travelling around the country following those leaders of the party. jessica, who is with the conservatives, and jenny who is with the liberal democrats. we will get back to them as soon as we can. it is also worth saying as well, a reminder that nick robinson continues his series of interviews with the party leaders tonight. he will bejoined by with the party leaders tonight. he will be joined by the reform with the party leaders tonight. he will bejoined by the reform leader at nigel farage. panorama tonight at seven o'clock on bbc one and the bbc iplayer. you will be able to watch it again if you missed it. at 8:30pm on bbc news. it is worth saying as well that you can keep up—to—date with all the election news on bbc sounds, head to the apt now and look for the latest news section. let's bring you up—to—date with some of the other main stories we are following. let's get more on that breaking news that the chief constable of northamptonshire police, nick adderley, has been found guilty of gross misconduct, amid claims he exaggerated his rank and length of service and lied about his naval achievements. let's speak to our midlands correspondent navtej johal who's in northampton. just remind us of what the allegations were here, and a significance of that ruling today. this is frankly an extraordinary case, with very serious implications and notjust for nick adderley, the men at the heart of it all. if we go back to the beginning, this was all sparked by a complaint from a member of the public who turned out to be nick adderley�*s ex—wife, who took issue with media reports about his naval record. that complaint has led eventually to this, a gross misconduct hearing which has been poring over claims made by nick adderley about his career. they include him implying that he had served in the falklands war, even though he was just 15 at the time of the conflict in 1982. that he worked as a military negotiator in haiti in the 1980s, even though he had never visited the country, and that he wore medals that he had not earned, specifically a south atlantic metal that was given to falkland war veterans which was described by one medical expert in the hearing as 110% a fake. the panel found that all of the allegations had been proven, they dismissed him from his job as chief constable and they highlighted what they felt was his arrogant temerity, in terms of how he lied. they said he had shown sustained and brazen dishonesty, and that his application for the job had contained lie upon lie. despite it being instructed to do so, nick adderley did not attend the conclusion of the hearing here today, but through his legal counsel he released a statement which said that he apologised to the veterans and families that he had caused any hurt or offence too. but he himself did not appear, hurt or offence too. but he himself did notappear, he hurt or offence too. but he himself did not appear, he had appeared at a previous state earlier in the hearing. in terms of the impact of this, at the end of the hearing, the panel did note that this case is likely to have a serious and lasting harm on the reputation of the police. harm on the reputation of the olice. ., ., ., ~' ,., harm on the reputation of the olice. ., ., ., ,,

england still have work to do to guarantee their place in the knockout stages of the euros — after a disappointing 1—1 draw with denmark. let's speak to nigel whittle, and england fan who has been keeping us up to date with england's performance in the torunement. a lot of work still to do... fans booing them off the pitch at the end of the game. what is the assessment now, 2a hours on? that of

yesterday, as you said, it was alluded to by the england manager, gareth southgate and by the england captain, harry kane. harry cain was unusually taken off, something you don't usually see. he is england's record goal—scorer at an international level. he said that the team struggled without the ball, so to put pressure on the denmark team and win the ball back, but they also struggled with the ball, you cannot do either. it is not likely the team is going to put in a good performance and gareth southgate also spoke about that centre midfield experiment with trent alexander, he plays right back for his club in the premier league but has been trialing him out as a centre at midfielder for the national team. centre at midfielder for the nationalteam. he centre at midfielder for the national team. he said that england does not have a natural replacement for calvin phillips who dropped out of the international picture because of the international picture because of his form. we are going to expect to see some changes in that area of the page, there is also a discussion about the fitness of the team, one of the right footers playing a left back made nine games for newcastle at the back end of the system. johnstone said has played just 90 minutes in the last two months. arsenal missed at their last game of the system and harry kane... there are all those things to take into account, but not a very impressive performance. for account, but not a very impressive performance-— account, but not a very impressive erformance. ., ., ., ,, , ., . performance. for now, thank

start to build and pick us up. start to build their skill set again and hopefully see a better performance. last night was so disappointing for the fans, it was flat throughout, there was no tempo, it did not seem as if there was any style of play, no patterns of play. that is unusual for southgate's team, we have seen a real clear structure in how we do things, but not last night. structure in how

i think it was 0-0 with do our second game, i think it was 0—0 with scotland. there was a lot of criticism, but this god is good enough to get better. and to push on. i think they will draw back on that experience and do the same thing again. i am still confident that we will get better, but there definitely some fundamental things happening at the moment which we have not seen. i think one thing i thought about last night was very much that we have lost the likes of jordan henderson in midfield, a natural leader. we have lost the pace, i know there are a lot of england fans who felt the time was up england fans who felt the time was up in time to look for someone else, but to me this proves we are missing that experience and that pace of sterling. gareth has got to find a cure. i think there are solutions out there, but he has got to be a bit less stubborn, i think he has got to try something a bit different and that most fans would like to see something different. that and

robinson was manager, he had started that tournament with a very traditional way of playing, and that players persuaded the manager to change and be more european, as it were. we went on to reach the semifinal. for me, that is what gareth needs to do, he needs to look at his four, two, three, one either change the formation of the players within. there are some obvious things for me, he is probably going to keep this information but put the likes of gallagher in that position and drop trent alexander from the experiment. most fans, we think he needs to be more ambitious. for me it would be dropping bellingham back into the eight position, dropping bowden into the ten, and that creates an opportunity for the likes of palmer, or gordon in one of those front three positions. if you did that, and we still did not progress, i think that fans would be satisfied that he has tried something bold and ambitious and we have given it a really good go. if he carries on doing what he is doing i think he is going to lose the fans if he has not already lost them. i am still behind him, i think he needs to tweak it a little bit and i think we have every chance to. i little bit and i think we

testing company synnovis, which is used by two health trusts in london. for more information, let's go live to our cyber correspondent, joe tidy. joe, this was about to money, wasn't it? they were threatening to release the data if they were not paid. this is the way that _ the data if they were not paid. this is the way that ran _ the data if they were not paid. ti 3 is the way that ran somewhere hacking gangs work, the business model has been around for a few years. they hacked synnovis about june the 3rd is when we first heard about it, i imagine they were in the system before them. they would have got inside the synnovis computer system, encrypted the data so that the company could not use that data, and then downloaded their own copy of it as well. what we call a double extortion, where they say you have to pay us this money, it could be hundreds of thousands of dollars or in millions, and in exchange for that money, we will not release the data and we will give you a key to unlock your systems. it was clear to me from the beginning that synnovis it would not pay, they are an nhs provider, and uk law enforcement has said to please not pay rent somewhere hackers

saw a small sample of that that includes names, dates of birth, nhs numbers. we do not know at this moment if there are test results in that data but i assume there would be. i did not see them myself. it is the kind of information you certainly do not want on the internet and i am afraid it is now available to other hackers to download for free. it is on the internet if you know where to look and this is the kind of callous behaviour we are used to seeing from this kind of gang. i spoke to them on tuesday night on encrypted chat app. on tuesday night on encrypted chat app, and they

they would be in russia. they post in russian on the internet, for example. but it is not unheard of, they could be in ukraine, there have been rent somewhere gangs in ukraine in the last six months to a year. all of those claims of being an activist group are being met with a huge amount of scepticism from that cyber security industry. if you look at their darknet website there is no mention of

move away now from the stones, but 15,000 people were here overnight watching the sunset and then the glorious sunrise this morning. it's a very, very special place to many. and to explain more, i chatted earlier to the arch druid of stonehenge and great britain, rollo maughfling. well, it's so special because it, not only in ancient pre—history, marks the time of recognition of the sunrise at summer solstice, marking the solar year — so the people would change gradually from the hunter—gathering societies that were becoming extinct to the agricultural ones — but this revival in this particular century is... i think history might say, is supporting another change, in which we learn how to survive on the planet from an ecological point of view. wonderful. and what does it mean, then, to celebrate it with so many people? because every walk of life is here this morning. yes. well, it's lovely. in 1989, we petitioned to her majesty queen elizabeth when she was still on the throne, under the ancient custom rights of eisteddfod, to be allowed to hold these gatherings legally because they date back to a time in history, 1189, when king richard i was on the throne, when these gatherings were deemed to have existed since time immemorial — which is a legal definition — and therefore, can exist in perpetuity. so that means, basically, winter and summer solstice is your time to get close to the stones. yes, yes. and what does that mean to you personally? oh, personally, it's absolutely wonderful to see so many lovely people come. and because, for us, we see the divine manifesting in nature. and if you've got shots, i'm sure you have, of the sunrise this morning... we have. ..and the mist and the rest of it, not only is nature absolutely wonderful, but all these people are absolutely wonderful as well. no trouble at all. everybody�*s happy and celebrating. it's terrific. it really was a special occasion. the barriers are now starting to go up behind us. but it was such a wonderful feeling of love, joy, spirituality for those of us here as we watched that sun come up over the horizon just before 10 to 5 this morning — signaled, of course, astronomically the start to summer here in the uk. and what a beautiful start it has been. the sun continues to shine. matt taylor they are, at stonehenge. some breaking news related to events in south wales. taste some breaking news related to events in south wales.— in south wales. we are hearing that members of — in south wales. we are hearing that members of that _ in south wales. we are hearing that members of that unite _ in south wales. we are hearing that members of that unite union - in south wales. we are hearing that members of that unite union who i in south wales. we are hearing that i members of that unite union who work at the steel tap will strike on indefinite strike from july the 8th. this isn't particularly new in so these workers have been staging some form of industrial action for quite a while, about 1500 steel workers are based in port out talbot and newport have been working quite a while already and, this in relation to the plans to close the furnaces and cut nearly 3000 jobs. there has also been an overtime ban in place, we are now hearing they will stage on indefinite strike beginning on july the 8th. we will speak to our correspondent in the next hour, that is just the latest line we are getting from the united union. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello. we're seeing a bit of a taste of something more summerlike out there at the moment. there's some blue sky and sunshine and we've seen temperatures in the mid 20s on friday. this was the picture in seaford, east sussex, looking over the english channel. heading through the weekend, still relatively dry and settled. temperatures doing quite well for the time of year. some warm sunshine, but also a little bit of rain in the forecast, we're not all going to be seeing it, but as we head through friday, latter part of the afternoon and evening, we've got this rain in the west. so some rain for western scotland, northern ireland, pushing into wales and the south—west of england. further east in the sunnier skies, temperatures at 6:00pm still sitting at around about 23 degrees or so. we're typically looking at the mid to high teens further west, where you've got more cloud and a few spots of rain. a bit of a breeze down towards the south—west this evening too. overnight tonight, that band of cloud and rain initially in the west will sweep its way eastward, so turning quite murky. a bit of drizzly rain around to start off your saturday morning across central and eastern parts of england, whereas further west, where we had the cloud on friday, we're looking at clearer skies. a mild night, in double figures for most. heading through the day, then, and for many central and eastern parts of england in particular we start with cloud. it should break up. there could be one or two showers, but they're fairly well isolated. further west, plenty of sunshine. we've just got a little bit more cloud filtering into northern ireland and north—west scotland later in the day. temperatures here in the mid teens, but for most of us we're looking at highs of about 19 to 22. so slightly fresher on saturday compared to what we saw on friday. if you suffer from hay fever, you've probably already guessed this — we've got very high levels of pollen across much of the uk through the course of the weekend. through saturday night and into sunday, we have still got the remnants of a frontal system, probably just sitting across central areas. that could bring still quite a bit of cloud to parts of england and wales in particular through sunday morning, tending to break up a little bit through the day. by sunday afternoon spells of sunshine quite widely and it is looking dry across the board, with light winds. it will feel a bit warmer too. temperatures up to around about 25, possibly 26. further north, it's more widely going to be up in the low 20s. high teens across the north—west of scotland. it stays pretty warm from monday into tuesday for many of us, especially towards the south, but there could be something cooler and more unsettled moving in later tuesday and on into wednesday. bye— bye. this is bbc news, these are the headlines. opposition leaders are calling for rishi sunak to take tougher action in response to claims that conservative insiders made bets on the timing of the collection. the former head of the federation that represents sub—postmasters has insisted the faulty horizon it system is robust. the chief constable of northamptonshire police has been dismissed for gross misconduct after a hearing found he had lied to get the job. your with bbc news, i am ben thompson. let's return to our top story, campaigning continues in the general election campaign, party leaders travelling up and down the country once again, but there is a subject dominating the conversation today, about who knew what about the timing of the general election. this has come to light after a number of bets were placed by insiders within the conservative party around the timing of the election. let's talk to jessica timing of the election. let's talk tojessica parker, who was with the conservative party campaign, on the bus, on a magical mystery tour once again, we are going to try to establish these connections to you so you can get a full answer to us! i was asking you earlier, this is a story that will not go away, rishi sunak saying he is angry, an investigation is under way, but he is still being asked about it. yeah, so rishi sunak, _ is still being asked about it. yeah, so rishi sunak, the _ is still being asked about it. yeah, so rishi sunak, the prime - is still being asked about it. yeah, l so rishi sunak, the prime minister, was asked repeatedly in two kind of separate sessions today, first of all when he was taking questions from the media at the launch of the welsh conservative manifesto in north wales, he really stuck to his line is that you were just sitting there, that there is an investigation going on, that it wouldn't be appropriate for him to comment too far at this stage, i am paraphrasing, but that he was very angry about the allegations. and then again, when we saw rishi sunak on the bus, he is not with us now, we are just a travelling group of journalists on this bus, but he was here earlier, and we had what is known as a media huddle, we all had a crack at trying to get some details from him. he has been asked a lot of questions about when he first found out about certain allegations, whether he knows if anyone else has potentially come up with in tory circles, made a potential bet on the date of the election, but he is really keen not to be drawn into it, keep saying there is an investigation going on, really sticking to that message. in terms of what this means for the conservative campaign, i was listening to an interview conducted by our colleagues at bbc wales, and interestingly the welsh secretary of state, david tc davies, has told my colleagues that the situation is definitely not helpful at all, he says he has absolutely astonished that this has happened and he personally doesn't want to be answering questions about whether or not people have gambled and what they may or may not have known before they took bets. so clearly an acknowledgement of there... distracting for them at... me acknowledgement of there. .. distracting for them at... we have tried! they — distracting for them at... we have tried! they are _ distracting for them at... we have tried! they are in _ distracting for them at... we have tried! they are in rural— distracting for them at... we have tried! they are in rural parts i distracting for them at... we have tried! they are in rural parts of. tried! they are in rural parts of the country, and anyone who has tried to make a phone call will understand how hard it can be to get a good signal, so that wasjessica parker travelling with the conservatives, and alsojenny hill is travelling with the liberal democrats today, both in rural areas, both finding it difficult to report back to us now, but we will checkin report back to us now, but we will check in when we can. it is just under two weeks until polling day, and in the run—up we will be speaking to people right across the uk to find out what is important to them, and of course what might win their votes in that election next month. we are in constituencies all over the country, today focusing on the big issue for voters in scotland. david wallace lockhart is the bbc scotland political correspondent, he is in greenock for us, so interesting, when we get the snapshots of what matters to individual voters in individual constituencies, what are they telling you there about what they want westminster to deliver? weill. want

renfrewshire west, to talk to some people who have an opinion on that, we are at the home of greenock morton football club, and we have got some people who are involved in an organisation which not

make our way up the country, housing problems and the cost of living, so looking at housing first, max, one of the lads use all there, he is rented accommodation with black mould on the walls, and when he flagged it to us landlords, they painted over it with white paint, and his rent is still going up. what he wants from the next government is better protection for renters, that is what he wants them to focus on. and the cost of living, we are hearing time and again that young people across the country are to live, whether that is because of things like rents going up all other bills

two, kelly and bedford says she has grown up watching her grandad vote in every election that he has been able to, but now it is certain, she is not going to bother. why? because she says in her area, shops are shut in, there are no youth clubs, and she doesn't think voting will have an impact on that. she has never met an impact on that. she has never met a politician before, doesn't think anything they say is relevant to her, and this is something that we are seeing reflected across the different areas that we have been to, it ties in with a major report out last week that says that confidence in the uk's election and politic system is at an all—time low with voters, and as we are out on the street speaking to people, that is what they are telling us. so where is next on your

office horizon it inquiry. he led the nationalfederation office horizon it inquiry. he led the national federation of sub—postmasters, representing the vast majority of self—employed postmasters, he is expected to be asked why the federation didn't do more to look after its members. azadeh moshiri is at the inquiry for us today, a day of more explosive testimony. it us today, a day of more

george thompson stepped down as general secretary in 2017, that was when victims allege a cover—up was going on, so what did he know about problems with the horizon it system, and why didn't he do more to help members? he says it is because the horizon it system was, and still is, robust. ben, that is something we haven't even heard from the former bosses of fujitsu, who had been here at the inquiry earlier this week. he said a number of sub—postmasters who were prosecuted is a tiny percentage of the 100,000 people who have been using horizon over the last 25 years. now, he did criticise the post office for not telling him about bugs and remote access, he said he was furious with what he called the post office shenanigans, but he also criticised sir alan bates and the campaign for painting what he said is an inaccurate picture of the horizon system, which he says is still robust and that they have damaged the post office browned all over the uk. in fact the inquiry saw an e—mail from 2012 that he wrote to paula vennells, calling sir alan bates' criticism is rubbish. we also criticised the fact that there was an independent investigation into the horizon system, listen

organisation which to test their effectiveness. it's checked 26 different lotions and said that while many did live up to the promises made on the bottle, not all of them offer to the protection they claimed. alison freeman explains. we are all told to put plenty on in the sun trying to keep us safe from its harmful effects. butjust as summer seems to have finally arrived, spot checks on sunscreens by consumer group which have found some are not offering as much protection as they claim. after testing 26 in total, which said three popular products had failed to pass all of the checks. unfortunately, some of these products don't actually offer the protection that is promised on the bottle. calypso, £8 a bottle for the sunscreen. one of the asda products, and bondi sands, a specific face sunscreen doesn't offer the protection promised. we did the tests in an independent laboratory and we stand by our findings. both asda and calypso sun say they dispute the findings. bondi sands has yet to comment. for one skincare cancer charity founder, the research is welcome. i'm really pleased we have seen the research today from which, because it's often the case that you look at a good brand and you trust in it and you believe in it and buy it thinking, i'm doing the best for myself and for my family. so i think it's great which have done this research and it will give a lot of help to people when they are choosing sunscreens. which did say their testing proved many cheaper brands performed as well as higher—end products, meaning people don't have to splash out this summer to keep themselves safe in the sun. alison freeman, bbc news. now, dogs and cats are often used to help people who may struggle with that mental health, but there are far more exotic animals also bringing comfort. natalie powell has been to visit a farm that offers bearded dragons, reindeer and even cockroaches for therapy, take a look. hi, this is one of the animals we have on the therapy farm. this is shovel. this is keith, our angora therapy goat. and here we have got our therapy reindeer, sven. record scratch and this is one of our unusual therapy animals — doughnut the bearded dragon. i've got creepy crawlies, i've got snakes. the hissing cockroaches — kids love them. they love touching them and making them hiss. i've got a fair amount of animals, to say the least. forget cute and cuddly, it's creepy crawlies and exotic pets that are being used as therapy at this farm in spalding. i've had children that are being looked after in the care system. i've had people that have had bereavements. to see someone that's, say, got severe anxiety, and they've come out of their shell and they're happy, they've got smiles on their faces. oh, the feeling, it gives you shivers and goose bumps. danika opened the animal assisted therapy farm a month ago after noticing improvements in her daughter's mental health from being with the animals. she used to be so low self—esteem, she's found her confidence. and it'sjust the release of stress for her. when i'm sad, i feel really nice just coming to here and seeing all the animals. they make me feel amazing, i love every single one of them with all my heart. it's the novelty and the idea that we're different, can really help a lot of people feel a bit better about themselves, they can find a connection there. and bearded dragons, particularly, can be incredibly tactile. they're really exploratory, very curious, so they like to crawl on you, they'll kind of hang out on your shoulder. and watch this space — danika's hoping to add to her unique range of therapy animals in the coming months, so who knows what could be next? like dogs, cats, reindeer, yes, it go to — none of the others, i am sorry! i will be back with the headline shortly, sarah has a look at the weather, see you soon. hello. we're seeing a bit of a taste of something more summerlike out there at the moment. there's some blue sky and sunshine and we've seen temperatures in the mid 20s on friday. this was the picture in seaford, east sussex, looking over the english channel. heading through the weekend, still relatively dry and settled. temperatures doing quite well for the time of year. some warm sunshine, but also a little bit of rain in the forecast, we're not all going to be seeing it, but as we head through friday, latter part of the afternoon and evening, we've got this rain in the west. so some rain for western scotland, northern ireland, pushing into wales and the south—west of england. further east in the sunnier skies, temperatures at six o'clock still sitting at around about 23 degrees or so. we're typically looking at the mid to high teens further west, where you've got more cloud and a few spots of rain. a bit of a breeze down towards the south—west this evening too. overnight tonight, that band of cloud and rain initially in the west will sweep its way eastward, so turning quite murky. a bit of drizzly rain around to start off your saturday morning across central and eastern parts of england, whereas further west, where we had the cloud on friday, we're looking at clearer skies. a mild night, in double figures for most. heading through the day, then, and for many central and eastern parts of england in particular, we start with cloud. it should break up, there could be one or two showers, but they're fairly well isolated. further west, plenty of sunshine. we've just got a little bit more cloud filtering in to northern ireland and north—west scotland later in the day. temperatures here in the mid teens, but for most of us we're looking at highs of about 19 to 22. so slightly fresher on saturday compared to what we saw on friday. if you suffer from hay fever, you've probably already guessed this — we've got very high levels of pollen across much of the uk through the course of the weekend. through saturday night and into sunday, we have still got the remnants of a frontal system, probably just sitting across central areas. that could bring still quite a bit of cloud to parts of england and wales in particular through sunday morning, tending to break up a little bit through the day. by sunday afternoon spells of sunshine quite widely and it is looking dry across the board, with light winds. it will feel a bit warmer too. temperatures up to around about 25, possibly 26. further north, it's more widely going to be up in the low 20s. high teens across the north—west of scotland. it stays pretty warm from monday into tuesday for many of us, especially towards the south, but there could be something cooler and more unsettled moving in later tuesday and on into wednesday. bye— bye. live from london. this is bbc news. opposition leaders are calling for rishi sunak to take "tougher action" in response to claims that conservative insiders made bets on the timing of the general election. if anyone is found to have broken the rules they should not only face the full consequences of the law but i will ensure they are booted out the conservative party. labour's leader sir keir starmer called for the candidates to be suspended. the instinct of these tories when an election is called is not how do we make this work for this country, but how do we make some money... of course he should suspend these candidates. over 1000 people are feared dead during the annual pilgrimage of hajj as a heat wave grips saudi arabia. the chief constable of northamptonshire police is dismissed for lying about his military service. the england football manager gareth southgate has admitted his team is falling "a little bit short" of expectations, after drawing 1—1 against denmark at euro 2024. hello. there have been more calls for rishi sunak to suspend two conservative candidates who are being investigated for alleged bets on when the general election would be held. this morning, the prime minister wouldn't be drawn on whether he was aware of other candidates or party officials who had placed a bet — insisting multiple independent investigations were under way — and insisted again that any tories found to have broken betting rules would be 'booted out�* of the party. there are full investigations that are currently happening. it's right that those investigations are allowed to proceed. they are independent. they are necessarily confidential, as you will appreciate. there's also a criminal investigation and these are potentially criminal matters and the police are conducting those. you'll be aware of that. because of that, i hope you can appreciate there's not much more i can add. what i can tell you is, as i said, if anyone is found to have broken the rules, they should not only face the full consequences of the law, i will ensure that they are booted out of the conservative party too. applause. well the labour leader sir keir starmer was in scotland earlier. labour has accused rishi sunak of a total lack of leadership for not suspending the candidates over those allegations. here is keir starmer speaking on the campaign trail in scotland. the speaking on the campaign trail in scotland. ~ . . scotland. the prime minister is showina

they weren't my candidates. if they weren't my candidates they would be gone by now, out of the door. you need to take tough action. rishi sunak is not even saying today whether there is a are more

of all to jessica parker with the conservative party campaign bus. we have been speaking this afternoon about some of the challenges facing the conservatives right now, they want to talk about policy. everyone wants to know about who knew what about when the election would be called. . . about when the election would be called. , . . , about when the election would be called. , . , ,~ ., called.

the two sessions that i - called. yes, that was pretty clear for the two sessions that i saw i called. yes, that was pretty clearl for the two sessions that i saw the prime minister in action in close quarters today. first of all, as you have been reflecting with a clip they are, rishi sunak took a step to they are, rishi sunak took a step to the stage in north wales where the party was launching its welsh manifesto. and he gave a kind of policy speech, there were some attack lines on labour, some acknowledgements as well as we have heard from rishi sunak that borders are frustrated with him and the conservative party. but when it came to the questions from the media, there were some on local policy affecting wales, but, there were also a lot of questions about this alleged election betting. rishi sunak really trying to stick to the line that he more or less said last night on bbc question time, think he was angry when he heard about the allegations, that there is an investigation ongoing so he is saying he does not want to comment too much, he does not think that would be appropriate. but that if anyone is found to have broken the rules they will be booted out of the party. and then we hopped on this bus, after that, went out over in cheshire, by the way, we have moved from north wales. and we had a little face to face me and the other journalists on the bus with the prime minister, and every single question was on this issue of the alleged betting. the prime minister, again, very rigidly has stuck to his lines. i think perhaps, potentially, he does not want to add fuel to a story that is already being damaging overnight for the conservative party. that was acknowledged by the secretary of state for wales, david, who spoke to my colleagues at bbc wales earlier. he did not hold back too much, he said he is absolutely astonished that this has happened. and i personally do not want to be answering questions about whether or not people have gambled on what they may or may not have known before they took bets. he said, it is definitely not helpful at all. but of course, the prime minister rishi sunak is saying that because an investigation is ongoing, than it is not appropriate for him to be drawn too much into some of the detail. he is being asked about when he might have known about these allegations, whether he thinks or knows if there were any other conservatives who may have placed potential bets on the election date, he is very determined not to be drawn into those kinds of conversations on the record. for now, conversations on the record. for now. thank _ conversations on the record. for now. thank you _ conversations on the record. for now, thank you very much. jessica now, thank you very much. jessica

been a bit iffy throughout the day. let's talk to our political correspondent to remind us of what has been going on today. david, iwas remind us of what has been going on today. david, i was interested in keir starmer 's response when asked about this betting on election day. he pointed the finger of blame squarely at the conservatives thing their first thought was how to make money out of this.— money out of this. yes, trying to make a wider — money out of this. yes, trying to make a wider point, _ money out of this. yes, trying to make a wider point, really. - money out of this. yes, trying to l make a wider point, really. from what we know, is that for people linked to rishi sunak —— linked to rishi sunak are being looked at by that gambling commission. keir starmer is saying well, if these conservative candidates were labour candidates, they would have been kicked out, theirfeet would not have touched the floor. so it is a political gift, as you are saying earlier, for the conservative opponents and keir starmer saying this illustrates a point he has been trying to make throughout the election. that he wants to turn politics back into something that is more of a public service. he thinks the conservatives have not been doing that for the last 14 years. good to have you there. thank you. more than 50 organisations and 24,000 people have signed an open letter urging political parties urging to do more for adult social care. the letter says that the uk's care. the letter says that the uk's care provision has slipped far below an acceptable level and it calls for reform. my mum has dementia. she was diagnosed at the age of 81, about six years ago now. nicola's mother imelda lives in a care home on the wirral. we visit her pretty much every day. like many others, nicola wants fixing the care system to be a priority for any new government. with no savings, imelda's council pays for her care, but nicola and her brother still have to pay £2200 top—up each month so she can stay here. what keeps me awake at night is the thought that i now won't have enough in my savings pot to pay if i ever need to go into care. successive governments, they accept that this is crisis, they accept that this is something that has to be addressed, and yet they do nothing. today's letter from the care and support alliance underlines the pressures on the care system, including councilsjuggling underfunding and increasing demand. have we been doing anything today? coffee morning. in south manchester, 59—year—old brian is paying £500 a month towards his four daily care visits, even though he's on benefits. he is now in debt. i'm behind with my gas and electric and other bills, with paying for the care so much. his uncontrolled tremor stopped him working as an electrician. everybody needs an electrician. i didn't have worries like this at all. you know, ever since i've got poorly and all this, it's like they don't care any more. staff shortages are another major problem, but courtney works for a care company that tries to keep workers by doing things differently. she's paid for the hours she is available, not, as often happens, just for time spent with clients. the company's boss says it would take a national plan for that to happen more widely. we need to really recognise the skills that this workforce have got and support them to make that difference, but on the flip side we've got to pay them properly. and families want reassurance that whoever forms the new government will take action. alison holt, bbc news. let's ta ke let's take a look right now at what the latest polls tell us with two weeks to go before the election. the conservative average vote share is the lowest we have tracked at any point since the last election. they are now at 20% on average, the lowest share since the last general election in 2019. labour's average score is also lower than at the beginning of the election campaign, but they continue to enjoy a lead of about 20 points. a number of the polls this week suggesting that conservatives are now in a close battle with reform uk for second place. on average, the conservatives are still ahead of reform, but several polling companies now put the toot neck and neck. the liberal democrats are still ahead of where they were when rishi sunak called they were when rishi sunak called the election. the greens, s and p, have remained broadly stable throughout the campaign. a reminder of course that nick robinson continues his series of interviews with the party leaders tonight, he will bejoined by nigel farage on panorama. at seven o'clock on bbc one. you can also watch the interview again if you missed it at eight o'clock here on bbc. let's bring you up—to—date with some other stories from today. the chief constable of northampton shirt police has been found guilty of gross misconduct. he lied about his rank, and naval achievements. gross misconduct. he lied about his rank,

this is an extraordinary case with very _ happened. this is an extraordinary case with very serious _ happened. this is an extraordinary | case with very serious implications. if we go back to the beginning, this was all sparked by a complaint from a member of the public who turned out to beat nick adderley�*s ex—wife, who took issue with media reports about his naval record. and that complaint has led eventually to this, a gross misconduct hearing which has been poring over claims made by nick adderley about his career. they include him implying that he had served in the falklands war even though he was just 15 at the time of the conflict in 1982, that he worked as a military negotiator in haiti in the 1980s, even though he had never visited the country. and that he wore medals that he had not earned, and on that, specifically, a south atlantic metal which was given to falkland war veterans. it was described by one metal expert in the hearing as 110% a fake. now, the panel found that all of the allegations had been proven, they dismissed him from his job as chief constable and they highlighted what they felt was his arrogant temerity, in terms of how he lied. they said that he had shown sustained and brazen dishonesty and that his application for the job had contained lie upon life. despite the instructed to do so, mr adderley did not attend the hearing today. but through his legal counsel he released a statement which said that he apologised to the veterans and families that he had caused any hurt and offence too. but that he himself did not appear. and offence too. but that he himself did notappear. he and offence too. but that he himself did not appear. he had appeared at a previous day earlier in the hearing. in terms of the impact of this, at the end of the hearing the panel did note that this case is likely to have a serious and lasting harm on the reputation of the police. £31!" the reputation of the police. our correspondent. _ the reputation of the police. our correspondent. elsewhere, nhs data has been published online after being stolen by cyber criminals. the hackers accessed data from the system used by health trusts in london. they would have got inside the computer system, encrypted all the data to make it so that the company could not use that data and then downloaded their own copy of it as well, not to do what

nhs numbers, the types of test. at this stage we do not know whether there would be test results and that data, i assumed there would be. but i did not see them myself. it is a kind of information

they were in ukraine, which goes against the common wisdom, we assume they would be in russia. they post in russian on the internet, for example. but it is not unheard of, they could be in ukraine. there have been rent somewhere gangs in ukraine in the last six months or a year. all of those claims have been some sort of activist group have been met with a huge amount of scepticism in the cyber industry. if you look at their darknet website, there is no mention of this. dozens of victims they are posting the data of they are, of schools, the health care organisations, local councils... they

with strict quotas, but many religiously motivated people to use unofficial routes to get around them, and given it is incumbent for any muslim with means to go on a hajj at least once in their lifetime. a bbc colleague is in mecca at making the pilgrimage herself today, she has made —— shared some of her experience. it doesn't matter if you are young, they threw the people on long roads at temperatures of 47 and 50. they were asking us to walk, and walk for hours. i myself walked for it 26 miles in a day. and i think this is not possible for an athlete also, to walk at 50 celsius for this long time. we are unable to walk properly, this is a situation of every other person i have seen, so many people, they were unconscious. there were no sign of ambulances, if there were ambulances on the way, they were not helping people. what i saw in the name of administration in all the roots of hajj, it was just police. and they were just diverging people to the long roads. there was no logic to send people on those roads, because on the short roads the road was the same. but we do not know what was their strategy, we do not know. nobody can deal with the heatin not know. nobody can deal with the heat in the same way like the pilgrim who is not legal here, right? this on is the same for everybody, for all the people who aren't walking on that long road. taste aren't walking on that long road. we will keep you up—to—date with that story, there is much more on the bbc website. search teams are hunting for a british teenager who is missing and tenerife upcoming areas of a

taking a photograph of himself and posting it on social media. that was the last that we have seen of him. from then, nobody knows where he went or what has happened to him. they have been searching land below that house, they have moved away from a ripping at the top of the mountain. the question is what happens now, we have heard from rescue workers who have heard from rescue workers who have been phoning into their bosses, asking what they should do and where they should go. and how they can help find jay, wherever he has got to. his family have been here and they have said that they are

sun on the summersolstice, it england. this was the sun on the summer solstice, it is also of course, the sun setting on the winter solstice. this ancient spectacle at stonehenge, don breaking just after 9:50am this morning. thousands of people including druids and pagans gathered at stonehenge, as they have been doing for thousands of years. beautiful pictures. it has really set the tone for the rest of the day, it has been wonderful outside. let's get the detail about how it looks at the moment. hello. we're seeing a bit of a taste of something more summerlike out there at the moment. there's some blue sky and sunshine and we've seen temperatures in the mid 20s on friday. this was the picture in seaford, east sussex, looking over the english channel. heading through the weekend, still relatively dry and settled. temperatures doing quite well for the time of year. some warm sunshine, but also a little bit of rain in the forecast, we're not all going to be seeing it, but as we head through friday, latter part of the afternoon and evening, we've got this rain in the west. so some rain for western scotland, northern ireland, pushing into wales and the south—west of england. further east in the sunnier skies, temperatures at 6.00pm still sitting at around about 23 degrees or so. we're typically looking at the mid to high teens further west, where you've got more cloud and a few spots of rain. a bit of a breeze down towards the south—west this evening too. overnight tonight, that band of cloud and rain initially in the west will sweep its way eastward, so turning quite murky. a bit of drizzly rain around to start off your saturday morning across central and eastern parts of england, whereas further west, where we had the cloud on friday, we're looking at clearer skies. a mild night, in double figures for most. heading through the day, then, and for many central and eastern parts of england in particular we start with cloud. it should break up. there could be one or two showers, but they're fairly well isolated. further west, plenty of sunshine. we've just got a little bit more cloud filtering into northern ireland and north—west scotland later in the day. temperatures here in the mid teens, but for most of us we're looking at highs of about 19 to 22. so slightly fresher on saturday compared to what we saw on friday. if you suffer from hay fever, you've probably already guessed this — we've got very high levels of pollen across much of the uk through the course of the weekend. through saturday night and into sunday, we have still got the remnants of a frontal system, probably just sitting across central areas. that could bring still quite a bit of cloud to parts of england and wales in particular through sunday morning, tending to break up a little bit through the day. by sunday afternoon spells of sunshine quite widely and it is looking dry across the board, with light winds. it will feel a bit warmer too. temperatures up to around about 25, possibly 26. further north, it's more widely going to be up in the low 20s. high teens across the north—west of scotland. it stays pretty warm from monday into tuesday for many of us, especially towards the south, but there could be something cooler and more unsettled moving in later tuesday and on into wednesday. bye— bye. hello, this is bbc news, these are the headlines. opposition leaders are calling for rishi sunak to take tougher action in response to claims that conservative insiders made bets on the timing of the general election. the former head of the federation that represent sub—postmasters has insisted the faulty horizon it system is robust. the chief constable of northamptonshire police has been dismissed for gross misconduct after a hearing found that he had lied to get the job. and the un says more than 1 that he had lied to get the job. and the un says more than1 million people in gaza face catastrophic levels of starvation by the middle of next month. welcome, you are with bbc news, i am ben thompson. just less than a fortnight to go until polling day, and party leaders have been answering questions from a bbc question time audience on all sorts of subjects, including the nhs, immigration and recent allegations about tory insiders betting on the election. we had a number of claims last night, so the bbc verified team has been assessing their comments, here is nick eardley. hello. yes, lots for the team to look at last night. let's start off with migration, and this from keir starmer. migration is at record levels at the moment under this government. they've completely lost control, and we need to get that number down, we need to get it significantly down. this is people coming into the country with visas — not migrants in small boats — and sir keir starmer was slightly wrong. net migration — which is the number of people arriving minus the number of people leaving — was at a record high last year — you can see it in green there — but it's actually come down a bit. it's still the second—highest on record, but not the highest ever. the labour leader has also said that he will bring levels of net migration down. but this is important context — its expected to fall anyway. there are different projections, you can see these lines here, but they all involve net migration coming down. experts say that'll happen whoever is in power, partly because of student visas running out and people leaving as a result. next, let's have a look at rishi sunak. he was grilled about the nhs and his record on waiting times. we haven't made as much progress as i would have liked, but because of the things we are doing, what you have seen over this year is waiting lists are now starting to come down. this is what's happened in england. you can see that waiting lists have gone up over the last few years. if we zoom in even more recently, that red dot is when rishi sunak became prime minister. now, you can see the waiting lists are coming down from record highs here, but that progress has stalled in the last few months. and you'll notice that waiting lists in england are still higher than when mr sunak came to power. you also heard rishi sunak say this. there is more money going into the nhs today than there has been in its history, and i'm sure bbc verify, after this debate, will verify that for you. well, yes, we have. and, yes, he's right. this data is from the nuffield trust, the respected health think tank. this year — you can see it in red here — health spending, adjusted for prices, is set to be more than it's ever been — just higher than it was during the pandemic. one thing to bear in mind, though, the charity the king's fund has pointed out that the rate of increase in health spending has slowed under the conservatives — particularly in the austerity years. so this could have been higher. let's look at another claim about the nhs — this time the nhs in scotland, by the snp leaderjohn swinney. scotland has the best—performing accident—and—emergency system in the united kingdom and has had for the last ten years. you can see it has gone up in scotland since january 2022, but, yes, for most of the decade in scotland, a smaller proportion of people are waiting more than four hours in a&e compared to england and to wales. finally, let's look at the lib dem leader, ed davey. this is what he said about his party's manifesto. we put forward a very detailed, costed manifesto, and it's got a big health and social care package at the centre. it is true to say that the lib dems are promising a lot of extra cash for the health service, but there are some questions from experts. have a look at this from the nuffield trust again. "the funding proposal appears to be insufficient." that's for their social care plan. secondly, the ifs on the manifesto as a whole — "there are clear risks that their package of tax measures wouldn't raise the money that they claim, which would make it harder to pay for some of those commitments." so hopefully that was some useful context about some of the claims made last night. as ever, there is plenty more on the bbc website. well, on the campaign trail today, the snp have been promoting their plans for growth, as well as plans to cut vat for businesses. on a visit to glasgow, deputy leader kate forbes said the snp would demand whoever wins the election committed to committing the rate of vat for businesses in an effort to boost businesses in an effort to boost business and grow the economy. so as we have said, less than two weeks to go until polling day, and we have been speaking to people right across the uk to find out what is important to them in the selection and what might win their vote next month. we have been visiting constituencies across the country, today focusing on the issues in scotland. david wallace lockhart is in the constituency of inverclyde and renfrewshire west. yeah, i am at a community garden, where staff and volunteers have very kindly invited us injust where staff and volunteers have very kindly invited us in just before they provide lunch to people living in greenock, and i'm going to have a word with them about what they want to see in this election, the issues facing this community. i will start with sally, and we have got some stuff that michelle brought from the shops recently, and it is highlighting the problems with cost of living here. highlighting the problems with cost of living here-— of living here. yes, missile brought all this in on _ of living here. yes, missile brought all this in on her— of living here. yes, missile brought all this in on her way _ of living here. yes, missile brought all this in on her way into _ of living here. yes, missile brought all this in on her way into work, - all this in on her way into work, she has got her wee received here, and you can see these three items, milk, bread and the local telegraph, all essential items, and we are looking at a price of £4 40 ball pens for those items. bhd looking at a price of £4 40 ball pens for those items.- pens for those items. and that doesnt pens for those items. and that doesn't include _ pens for those items. and that doesn't include the _ pens for those items. and that doesn't include the bus - pens for those items. and that doesn't include the bus fare. i pens for those items. and that | doesn't include the bus fare. -- pens for those items. and that - doesn't include the bus fare. -- £4 £44. you could _ doesn't include the bus fare. -- £4 £44. you could get _ doesn't include the bus fare. -- £4 £44. you could get this _ doesn't include the bus fare. -- £4 £44. you could get this cheaper. doesn't include the bus fare. -- £4 £44. you could get this cheaper in| £44. you could get this cheaper in the town centre, but then you add on several pounds, £5 the town centre, but then you add on several pounds, e5 on the bus fare, which is unaffordable to most people. 50 which is unaffordable to most ..eole.

nationalfederation inquiry. george thompson, who ran the national federation of sub—postmasters, representing the vast majority of sub for employed sub—postmasters, is being asked why the federation didn't do more to look after its members. azadeh moshiri has been following the inquiry. one former sub—postmistress said it has added insult to injury. george thompson stepped down as general secretary in 2017, that was when victims allege a cover—up was going on. so what did he know about problems with the horizon system, and why didn't he do more to help members? he says it is because the horizon it system was and still is robust. ben, that is something we haven't even heard from the former bosses of fujitsu, who appeared at the inquiry earlier this week. he said the number of sub—postmasters who were prosecuted is a tiny percentage of the 100,000 people who have been using horizon over the last 25 years. now, he did criticise the post office for not telling him about bugs and remote access, he said he was furious with what he called the post office shenanigans, but he also criticised sir alan bates and the campaign for painting what he said is an inaccurate picture of the horizon system, which he says is still robust and that they have damaged the post office brand all over the uk. in fact, the inquiry saw an e—mail from 2012 that he wrote to paula vennells, calling sir alan bates' criticism rubbish. he also criticised the fact that there was an independent investigation into the horizon system, listen to that exchange. you have received six or seven complaints from people. - based on what was on the tv, i have just said that. you are not saying _ please investigate these problems, you saying. — i am disappointed that there is an independent review going on into horizon. i because we should have been in the loop on the decision and the rationale for the decision, and i make no apologies that i am and i was a supporter of the horizon system. you can imagine some of the reaction here today, a lawyer for many of the victims, hundreds of victims, has said this amounts to a flat earther defence. i also spoke to one of the sub—postmasters in attendance today, take a listen. it was just the same standard response that the system is robust, and that is why we are all very angry, even today now, we are sitting in the inquiry, and so many of us are actually fuming. they were supposed to be working to protect us, where were they?! there is another issue, ben, and that is the amount of money the national federation of sub—postmasters was receiving from the post office. the inquiry has heard it was in the millions during the scandal. he asked by the inquiry counsel, were you too close to the post office? he rejected that idea, and put simply, the victims watching here today and at home have been visibly angered and shocked by what they have heard at the inquiry today. azadeh moshiri there at that inquiry, more from her later. three popular some dreams have failed tests carried out by the consumer organisation which to test their effectiveness. the group spot checks 26 different lotions and said while many did live up to the promises made on the bottle, not all offer the protection they claimed. alison freeman explains. we are all told to put plenty on in the sun trying to keep us safe from its harmful effects. butjust as summer seems to have finally arrived, spot checks on sunscreens by consumer group which have found some are not offering as much protection as they claim. after testing 26 in total, which said three popular products had failed to pass all of the checks. unfortunately some of these products don't actually offer the protection that is promised on the bottle. calypso, £8 a bottle for the sunscreen. one of the asda products and bondi sands, a specific face sunscreen doesn't offer the protection promised. we did the tests in an independent laboratory and we stand by our standings. both asda and calypso sun say they dispute the findings. bondi sands has yet to comment. for one skin cancer charity founder, the research is welcome. i'm really pleased we have seen the research today from which, because it's often the case that you look at a good brand and you trust in it and you believe in it and buy it thinking, i'm doing the best for myself and for my family. so i think it's great which have done this research and it will give a lot of help to people when they are choosing sunscreens. which did say their testing proved many cheaper brands performed as well as higher—end products, meaning people don't have to splash out this summer to keep themselves safe in the sun. alison freeman, bbc news. now, england still have work to do to guarantee their place in the knockout stages of the euros. after a disappointing 1—1 draw with denmark. one england fan has been at the games and gave me his impressions about last night's game. i think we are all probably helping that they were building their fitness up in the camp and in those games, starting to build up their skills and we will see a better performance, but last night was so disappointing for the fans, it was flat throughout, there was no tempo, no style of play, no patterns of play. no style of play, no patterns of play, and that is unusual for gareth southgate's team,

much at all, i think they have got previous history at this, kane said afterwards, if you look back to the last euros, we actually drew our second game 0—0 with scotland, and at the time there was a lot of media attention about the fact that we were not firing on all cylinders, but the squad is good enough to get better and push on, and we will draw on that experience and do the same again. i am confident we will get better, but there are some fundamental things that need to happen that we have not seen, and i think one thing that i thought about last night was very much that we have lost the likes ofjordan henderson in midfield, a natural leader, we have lost the pace of raheem sterling. i know a lot of england fans thought their time was up, but for me this proves we are missing that experience and that pace of sterling, so gareth has got to find a cure, and i think there are solutions out there, but he has to be less stubborn in his approach and try something different, and i think most fans would like to see something different. higel think most fans would like to see something different. nigel whittle and his impressions _ something different. nigel whittle and his

of nerves and stress around the euros, and dogs and cats are often used to help people who may struggle with mental health or emotional wellbeing, but there are now more exotic animals being brought in for comfort. our reporter has been to visit a farm which offers bearded dragons, reindeer and even cockroaches for therapy. take a look. hi, this is one of the animals we have on the therapy farm. this is shovel. this is keith, our angora therapy goat. and here we have got our therapy reindeer, sven. record scratch and this is one of our unusual therapy animals — doughnut the bearded dragon. i've got creepy crawlies, i've got snakes. the hissing cockroaches — kids love them. they love touching them and making them hiss. i've got a fair amount of animals, to say the least. forget cute and cuddly, it's creepy crawlies and exotic pets that are being used as therapy at this farm in spalding. i've had children that are being looked after in the care system. i've had people that have had bereavements. to see someone that's, say, got severe anxiety, and they've come out of their shell and they're happy, they've got smiles on theirfaces. oh, the feeling — it gives you shivers and goose bumps. danika opened the animal assisted therapy farm a month ago after noticing improvements in her daughter's mental health from being with the animals. she used to be so low self—esteem, she's found her confidence. and it'sjust the release of stress for her. when i'm sad, i feel really nice just coming to here and seeing all the animals. they make me feel amazing, i love every single one of them with all my heart. it's the novelty and the idea that we're different, can really help a lot of people feel a bit better about themselves, they can find a connection there. and bearded dragons, particularly, can be incredibly tactile. they're really exploratory, very curious, so they like to crawl on you, they'll kind of hang out on your shoulder. and watch this space — danika's hoping to add to her unique range of therapy animals in the coming months, so who knows what could be next? who knows? i don't even want to think about it, actually. now, around 15,000 people were at stonehenge this morning to watch the summer solstice sunrise, which was allowed to go ahead despite a protest byjust stop oil where orange paint was sprayed over the landmark. matt taylor was there this morning. starting to move away from the stones, but 15,000 people were here overnight, watching the sunset and a glorious sunrise this morning. it is a very special place to many, and to explain more i chatted

love, joy, spirituality for those of us here as we watched the come over the horizon, signalling the start to astronomical sum in the uk, and what a beautiful start, the sun continues to shine. and it has been shining most of the day depending where you are, let's get the latest details with sarah. hello. we're seeing a bit of a taste of something more summerlike out there at the moment. there's some blue sky and sunshine and we've seen temperatures in the mid 205 on friday. this was the picture in seaford, east sussex, looking over the english channel. heading through the weekend, still relatively dry and settled. temperatures doing quite well for the time of year. some warm sunshine, but also a little bit of rain in the forecast, we're not all going to be seeing it, but as we head through friday, latter part of the afternoon and evening, we've got this rain in the west. so some rain for western scotland, northern ireland, pushing in to wales and the south—west of england. further east in the sunnier skies, temperatures at six in the evening still sitting at around 23 degrees or so. we're typically looking at the mid to high teens further west, where you've got more cloud and a few spots of rain. a bit of a breeze down towards the south—west this evening too. overnight tonight, that band of cloud and rain initially in the west will sweep its way eastward, so turning quite murky. a bit of drizzly rain around to start off your saturday morning across central and eastern parts of england, whereas further west, where we had the cloud on friday, we're looking at clearer skies. a mild night, in double figures for most. heading through the day, then, and for many central and eastern parts of england in particular we start with cloud. it should break up. there could be one or two showers, but they're fairly well isolated. further west, plenty of sunshine. we've just got a little bit more cloud filtering in to northern ireland and north—west scotland later in the day. temperatures here in the mid teens, but for most of us we're looking at highs of about 19 to 22. so slightly fresher on saturday compared to what we saw on friday. if you suffer from hay fever, you've probably already guessed this — we've got very high levels of pollen across much of the uk through the course of the weekend. through saturday night and into sunday, we have still got the remnants of a frontal system, probably just sitting across central areas. that could bring still quite a bit of cloud to parts of england and wales in particular through sunday morning, tending to break up a little bit through the day. by sunday afternoon spells of sunshine quite widely and it is looking dry across the board, with light winds. it will feel a bit warmer too. temperatures up to around about 25, possibly 26. further north, it's more widely going to be up in the low 205. high teens across the north—west of scotland. it stays pretty warm from monday into tuesday for many of us, especially towards the south, but there could be something cooler and more unsettled moving in later tuesday and on into wednesday. bye— bye. live from london. this is bbc news. opposition leaders are calling for rishi sunak to take "tougher action" in response to claims that conservative insiders made bets on the timing of the general election. if anyone is found to have broken the rules they should not only face the full consequences of the law but i will ensure they are booted out the conservative party too. labour's leader sir keir starmer critised the pm and called for the candidates to be suspended. the instinct of these tories when an election is called is not, how do we make this work for this country, but how do we make some money... of course he should suspend these candidates. over a thousand people are feared dead during the annual hajj pilgrimage — as a heatwave grips saudi arabia. the chief constable of northamptonshire police is dismissed for lying about his military service. the england football manager gareth southgate has admitted his team is falling "a little bit short" of expectations, after drawing 1—1 against denmark at euro 2024. hello, i'm ben thompson. there have been more calls for rishi sunak to suspend two conservative candidates who are being investigated for alleged bets on when the general election would be held. this morning, the prime minister wouldn't be drawn on whether he was aware of other candidates or party officials who had placed a bet — insisting multiple independent investigations were under way — and insisted again that any tories found to have broken betting rules would be 'booted out�* of the party. there are multiple investigations that are currently happening. it's right that those investigations are allowed to proceed. there's also a criminal investigation and these are potentially criminal matters and the police are conducting those. you'll be aware of that. because of that, i hope you can appreciate there's not much more i can add. what i can tell you is, as i said, if anyone is found to have broken the rules, they should not only face the full consequences of the law, i will ensure that they are booted out of the conservative party too. applause. labour has accused rishi sunak of a 'total lack of leadership' for not suspending the candidates over allegations of illegal gambling — here's sir keir starmer speaking on the campaign trail in scotland. the prime minister is showing a total lack of leadership on this. let's look at what actually happened in relation to a general election. the instincts of these tories when the general election is called is not how do we make this work for the country, but how do i make some money? and that tells you a broader picture about politics. of course, they should suspend these candidates. if they were my candidates, they'd be gone by now out of the door. he needs to take tough action like he's not even saying today whether there's more involved. so he needs a full account. it's a total lack of leadership. the lid dem leader, sir ed davey also urged the prime minister to take "tougher action" on those accused of breaking betting rules. i think if people know the outcome of something and they bet on it, i think that's immoral. and i do not think that looks right. and too often in this parliament, we've seen the conservative party and certainly members of the conservative party looking like they're in it for themselves, not for public service and what's in the best interests of the country. so i hope he'll take some tougher action. tougher action, the words of sir ed davey. tougher action, the words of sir ed davey. let's speak to our political correspondentjenny hill, who is on the liberal democrat campaign trail. that is the issue in all of this, all of the parties are out on the campaign trail but there is one issue dominating the agenda once again today. issue dominating the agenda once again today-— again today. yes, and while that offers the lib — again today. yes, and while that offers the lib dems _ again today. yes, and while that offers the lib dems an - again today. yes, and while that i offers the lib dems an opportunity to criticize a rival party, it doesn't rather overshadow what they want to talk about. today ed davey was quite keen to talk about his plans for the nhs dentistry in england, his party is pledging to spend £758 million fixing what he would describe as a crisis in the system. he is talking about the fact that many dentists are due to retire in the coming years, a good number of others have left the nhs. he wants to sort that out by throwing a lot of money at the problem. as you know, the lib dems are very keen on spending a lot of money on health and social care, more generally, thatis and social care, more generally, that is a topic upon which he would really like to focus. but he like every other party leader has been drawn into what is happening with the conservatives. as you would expect from the lib dems campaign, we have had our photogenic stunt this morning. ed davey started the day in harrogate, where he attended an art class with some art students at the college there. he pulled out at the college there. he pulled out a still life, managed to produce something which the art teacher said was actually pretty good. ed davey has a quite a good eye for art, apparently. he seemed to be enjoying himself, that is something which we have come to expect from ed davey and his press team. i think the focus was not so much on his artistic prowess, then his political performance last night during the question time session with members of the public... was the first to be grilled by members of the public. and whilst he has a very likable persona, it is something that his press team would i think essay is one of his campaign's greatest assets, he answered some pretty tough questions. trust is a big issue in this election, ed davey was given a grilling over the issue of student tuition fees, the lib dems promised to scrap them but while in coalition with the conservatives they did a u—turn. it is something that people remember, he was given a good questioning about that in the debate last night. his party says, he has learned since from that. in lib dems history. he was also grilled over his time as... post office minister, the post office scandal. i think there is wider skepticism perhaps among some sections of the electorate about how serious the lib dems really are. we all know that unless something really dramatic happens, ed davey is not going to be the next prime ministers. voters want... taste not going to be the next prime ministers. voters want... we have lost jenny. —

rural parts of the country so anyone who has tried to make a phone call or send any video message from the rural parts of the country will know how annoying and difficult it can be. jenny hill, traveling with that liberal democrats. and our political correspondent jess parker has the latest from the conservative party campaign bus. rishi sunak took to the stage in north wales where the party was launching its welsh manifesto and he gave a kind of policy speech. there were some attack lines on labour, some acknowledgements as well, as we've heard before from mr. sunak that voters are frustrated with him and the conservative party. but when it came to the questions from the media, look, there were some on local policy affecting wales, but there are also a lot of questions about this alleged election betting and rishi sunak really trying to stick to the lines that he more or less said last night on bbc question time, saying he was angry when he heard about the allegations. but there's an investigation ongoing, so he's saying he doesn't want to comment too far. he doesn't think that that would be appropriate, but that if anyone is found to have broken the rules, then they will be booted out of the party. and then we hopped on this bus. after that, we're now over in cheshire, by the way. we've moved from north wales and we had a little tete a tete, me and a number of otherjournalists on the bus with the prime minister. and every single question was on this issue of the alleged betting and the prime minister, again, very rigidly stuck to his lines. i think perhaps, potentially, he doesn't want to add fuel to a story that is already being damaging overnight for the conservative party. and that was acknowledged by the secretary of state for wales, david davis, who spoke to my colleagues at bbc wales earlier and he didn't hold back too much. he said he's absolutely astonished that this has happened, said david davis. and i personally do not want to be answering questions about whether or not people have gambled and what they may or may not have known before they took bets, he said. it's definitely not helpful at all, but of course the prime minister, rishi sunak, he's saying that because an investigation is ongoing, then it's not appropriate for him to be drawn too much into some of the detail that he is being asked about, about when he might have known about these allegations, whether he thinks or knows whether any other conservatives may have placed potential bets on the election date. but he's being very determined not to be drawn into those kinds of conversations at the moment on the record. on the campaign trail today — the snp have been promoting their plans for growth as well plans to cut vat for businesses. on a visit to glasgow, the party's deputy leader, kate forbes, said the snp would demand whoever wins the election to commit to cutting the rate of vat for businesses, in an effort to boost business and grow the economy. scott under the snp has for 18 years been a top destination for foreign investment. invest errs see —— investors see it. we also have an agenda for growth when it comes to abolishing or cutting rates for over 100,000 businesses proposing today cuts to vat for hospitality services that have been challenged. we believe there is a record here that scotland can be proud of, we want go

the public, says the uk's care provision has slipped far below an acceptable level and calls for reform and investment. here's our social affairs editor, alison holt. my mum has dementia. she was diagnosed at the age of 81, about six years ago now. nicola's mother imelda lives in a care home on the wirral. we visit her pretty much every day. like many others, nicola wants fixing the care system to be a priority for any new government. with no savings, imelda's council pays for her care, but nicola and her brother still have to pay £2200 top—up each month so she can stay here. what keeps me awake at night is the thought that i now won't have enough in my savings pot to pay if i ever need to go into care. successive governments, they accept that this is crisis, they accept that this is something that has to be addressed, and yet they do nothing. today's letter from the care and support alliance underlines the pressures on the care system, including councilsjuggling underfunding and increasing demand. have we been doing anything today? coffee morning. in south manchester, 59—year—old brian is paying £500 a month towards his four daily care visits, even though he's on benefits. he is now in debt. i'm behind with my gas and electric and other bills, with paying for the care so much. his uncontrolled tremor stopped him working as an electrician. everybody needs an electrician. i didn't have worries like this at all. you know, ever since i've got poorly and all this, it's like they don't care any more. staff shortages are another major problem, but courtney works for a care company that tries to keep workers by doing things differently. she's paid for the hours she is available, not, as often happens, just for time spent with clients. the company's boss says it would take a national plan for that to happen more widely. we need to really recognise the skills that this workforce have got and support them to make that difference, but on the flip side we've got to pay them properly. and families want reassurance that whoever forms the new government will take action. alison holt, bbc news. let's take a look at what the latest polls tell us. the conservative average vote share is the lowest we've tracked it at any point since the last election. they're now at 20% on average — their lowest share since the last general election in 2019. labour's average score is also lower than at the beginning of the election campaign but they continue to enjoy a lead of about 20 points. a number of the polls this week suggest that the conservatives are now in a close battle with reform uk for second place. on average, the conservatives are still ahead of reform but several polling companies now put the two neck and neck. the liberal democrats are still a little ahead of where they were when rishi sunak called the election. the greens, snp and plaid cymru have remained broadly stable throughout the campaign. and a reminder, nick robinson continues his series of interviews with the party leaders tonight. he'll be joined by the reform uk party leader nigel farage on panorama. that is at seven o'clock on bbc one and bbc iplayer. and you can watch that interview again tonight at 8.30pm, here on bbc news. let's have a look at some of the other main stories of today. let's have a look at some of the other main stories of today. the chief constable of northamptonshire police, nick adderley, has been found guilty of gross misconduct, amid claims he exaggerated his rank and length of service and lied about his naval achievements. our midlands correspondent navtej johal explains more. this is frankly an extraordinary case, with very serious implications and notjust for nick adderley, the man at the heart of it all. if we go back to the beginning, this was all sparked by a complaint from a member of the public who turned out to be nick adderley�*s ex—wife, who took issue with media reports about his naval record. that complaint has led eventually to this, a gross misconduct hearing which has been poring over claims made by nick adderley about his career. they include him implying that he had served in the falklands war, even though he was just 15 at the time of the conflict in 1982. that he worked as a military negotiator in haiti in the 19805, even though he had never visited the country, and that he worked medals that he had not earned, on that, specifically, a south atlantic metal which was given to falkland war veterans, which was described by one metal expert in the hearing as 110% a fake. the panel found that all of the allegations had been proven, they dismissed him from hisjob as had been proven, they dismissed him from his job as chief constable, and they highlighted what they felt was his arrogant temerity, in terms of how he lied. he said he had shown sustained and brazen dishonesty, and that his application for the job had contained lie upon life. despite being instructed to do so, nick adderley did not attend the conclusion of the hearing here today. through his legal counsel he released a statement which said that he apologized to the veterans and family that he had caused any hurt or offense too. but he himself did not appear, he had appeared at a previous state earlier in the hearing. in terms of the impact of this, at the end of the hearing, the panel did note that this case is likely to have a serious and lasting harm on the reputation of the police. harm on the reputation of the olice. . . harm on the reputation of the olice. . , , ~ police. families

say they are going to investigate the tour companies that offer unofficial hajj trips. most of the dead are said to have been unofficial pilgrims, the saudi authorities have initially banned them from joining hajj. but they eventually changed their mind. it appears no preparations have been in place to handle this overflow of people. fears are growing that the death toll will rise even further, and more egyptian families might be paying farewell to their loved ones. bbc news, northern egypt. let's talk now to our guest, really harrowing to see that account of just now to our guest, really harrowing to see that account ofjust one family story there. what do we know about how this has happened and what has unfolded here? saudi about how this has happened and what has unfolded here?— has unfolded here? saudi arabia tries to control _ has unfolded here? saudi arabia tries to control the _ has unfolded here? saudi arabia tries to control the number - has unfolded here? saudi arabia tries to control the number of i tries to control the number of pilgrims and every year they are allocating a smaller number. for example, indonesia, which had the largest muslim population in the world last year was allocated around 200,000 hajj visas. this year they were only allocated 213,000. the saudis are trying to reduce the number to make it as safe as possible for everyone. however, when people cannot get hajj view that, they go to these travel agents, some of which are unscrupulous and just want to make the money. they get the wrong these up for their clients, for example as in the report you saw there, a visitor visa that which only allows people to visit saudi arabia, but not the sites in mecca and medina. what happens with these people, they go to mecca, they stay at the gate trying to sneak in, they cannot get in and in the first week, the saudi authorities returned 70,000 unregistered pilgrims. but some of them stayed on, hanging back in the heat. and it trying to see if there is any window that they can get in. just before the deadline i'd which hajj becomes invalid, the soldiers there allow some people in. and that is quite a number among the 1.8 million pilgrims this year. so, these ones who are unregistered because they did not get the right visa, went in, they have no access to air—conditioned tents at mina, they are not allowed to use official hajj buses which are also air—conditioned. they pay extortionate prices for private drivers to take them in, who are not allowed to approach the sites, so they tell them to get off about ten km or so away from the sites, and here you are, walk. so how can you walk that distance in about 52 celsius? fortwo walk that distance in about 52 celsius? for two hours or more. bearing in mind that many of the pilgrims are elderly and frail. for example, jordan's cota is 12 and a half thousand, 4500 for israeli arabs. 8004... but the applicants for hodge visa were 25,000 —— hajj visa. people try those brokers and travel agents. jordan conducted an investigation which led to the arrest of several travel agents who are now facing trial. the egyptian president yesterday promised a high level of speedy investigation as well to get to the bottom of it. thank you very much for explaining bad, it is important tojoin thank you very much for explaining bad, it is important to join those dots. we werejust bad, it is important to join those dots. we were just talking about what responses we have had and how to put a number on this tragedy. a saudi official now defending the management of the hajj pilgrimage, they say the state did not fail, this is the statement coming to us from them, the state did not fail, there was a misjudgment on the part of people who did not appreciate the risks, is there official line speaking to the afp news agency. they have not put a number on the death toll, but as we were hearing there, a number of other countries have put a death toll on their citizens who were attending that pilgrimage will stop that toll is now as high as 1100 deaths. many of those attributed to the high temperatures in mecca. more on that for you a little later. the former general secretary of the sub—postmasters' union is answering questions at the post office horizon it inquiry today. george thomson who ran the national federation of subpostmasters, which represents the vast majority of self—employed sub—postmasters is expected to be asked why the federation didn't do more to look after its members. azadeh moshiri is at the post office inquiry for us. yes, i have literally heard the word shocking from some of the lawyers representing the victims. the victims themselves are particularly upset and outraged, one at sub—postmaster who has been watching says it all adds insult to injury. george thompson it was the head of the national federation of sub—postmasters when hundreds were being prosecuted based on this faulty data from the horizon it. i am sorry, we appear to have lost the latest there from the post office inquiry. i think maybe we need to put a fresh battery... we will do that, we will return to her, it was a really important day of testimony. i

why he did not do more to help members and what he knew, he said that the horizon it system was and still is robust. then, that is something not even the former bosses of fujitsu have told the inquiry, nor former post office executives. and yet he maintained that throughout, he said there was only a tiny percentage of sub—postmasters who had been prosecuted compared to the number who had been using horizon over 25 years. he did criticize the post office for not telling him about the bugs, not telling him about the bugs, not telling him about remote access. he said he was furious over what he called the post office's shenanigans. but he also criticized sir alan bates and the justice for sub—postmasters alliance. in fact, we thought 2012 e—mail he sent to paula vennells saying those concerns were rubbish. he also criticized the fact an independent investigation with going on into the horizon it system. this is how one of the lawyers for the victims characterized his evidence

they have heard. absolutely. thank you for that, i will be back with the headlines very shortly but now it is time for the weather. hello. we're seeing a bit of a taste of something more summerlike out there at the moment. there's some blue sky and sunshine and we've seen temperatures in the mid 205 on friday. this was the picture in seaford, east sussex, looking over the english channel. heading through the weekend, still relatively dry and settled. temperatures doing quite well for the time of year. some warm sunshine, but also a little bit of rain in the forecast, we're not all going to be seeing it, but as we head through friday, latter part of the afternoon and evening, we've got this rain in the west. so some rain for western scotland, northern ireland, pushing into wales and the south—west of england. further east in the sunnier skies, temperatures at 6.00pm still sitting at around about 23 degrees or so. we're typically looking at the mid to high teens further west, where you've got more cloud and a few spots of rain. a bit of a breeze down towards the south—west this evening too. overnight tonight, that band of cloud and rain initially in the west will sweep its way eastward, so turning quite murky. a bit of drizzly rain around to start off your saturday morning across central and eastern parts of england, whereas further west, where we had the cloud on friday, we're looking at clearer skies. a mild night, in double figures for most. heading through the day, then, and for many central and eastern parts of england in particular we start with cloud. it should break up. there could be one or two showers, but they're fairly well isolated. further west, plenty of sunshine. we've just got a little bit more cloud filtering into northern ireland and north—west scotland later in the day. temperatures here in the mid teens, but for most of us we're looking at highs of about 19 to 22. so slightly fresher on saturday compared to what we saw on friday. if you suffer from hay fever, you've probably already guessed this — we've got very high levels of pollen across much of the uk through the course of the weekend. through saturday night and into sunday, we have still got the remnants of a frontal system, probably just sitting across central areas. that could bring still quite a bit of cloud to parts of england and wales in particular through sunday morning, tending to break up a little bit through the day. by sunday afternoon spells of sunshine quite widely and it is looking dry across the board, with light winds. it will feel a bit warmer too. temperatures up to around about 25, possibly 26. further north, it's more widely going to be up in the low 205. high teens across the north—west of scotland. it stays pretty warm from monday into tuesday for many of us, especially towards the south, but there could be something cooler and more unsettled moving in later tuesday and on into wednesday. bye— bye. hello. you are with bbc news. the latest headlines. opposition leaders call for rishi sunak to take tough action in response to claims conservative insiders made bets on the timing of the general election. the former head of the federation representing former subbase martyrs says that the former it system is robust. the chief constable of northamptonshire police has been dismissed for gross misconduct after hearing heard he had lied to get the job. and the un says more than a million people in gaza face catastrophic starvation in the next month. the labour party is shown to have found 15 times more donations than the conservatives in the second week of the campaign. labour brought in more than £4.3 million between the sixth and 12th ofjune, the largest donation topped over £2.5 million. with more on this we speak to harry farley. good to see. talk us through the numbers. who might be in power come july. numbers. who might be in power come july, they can tell us something. taste july, they can tell us something. we can july, they can tell us something. 9 can certainly read that into some of the enthusiasm from different political party donors. as you say, labour are far outstripping the conservatives in what they were able to raise and what they received in donations in that second week of the campaign. just to explain the rules, every week in a campaign, parties must declare to the electoral commission how much they received in donations, above a certain figure which is around £11,000. the electoral commission then publishes those figures a few days on. we have just received the figures that the parties received donations on the dates between the sixth and 12th of june, labour receiving nearly £4.4 million. that was just in that week. that is the largest single donation which was from lord david sainsbury, he donated 2.5 million. form a autoglass boss gary lough and gain of £900,000. that is just two examples of labour donors. worth saying the parties must declare any donations or loans they receive, but then have 30 days to check out the donors and check they are acceptable before they formally accept that donation. beyond that, the conservatives have raised £292,000, even less and the liberal democrats, who raised £335,000. anotherfigure going through the spreadsheet of the electoral commission release which jumped out was a donation of £50,000 to reform uk from the actor and model holly valance, who gave to nigel farage cox party. you are right that it gives us an indication of the levels of enthusiasm among those who donate to various political parties. also worth saying is that the conservatives, this is not the sum total what do you parties have in their coffers that they are able to spend on campaigning. we have talked before about the donations that the conservatives received from frank hester, £5 million early in the year. so, this is a snapshot of what they received in that one week. as you say, it gives an indication of perhaps levels of excitement from various different party donors. yes. various different party donors. yes, and when we _ various different party donors. yes, and when we talk _ various different party donors. yes, and when we talk about _ various different party donors. yes, and when we talk about money and election campaigns, it always raises questions about why people are donating. is it because they absolutely believe in the cause, or are they looking for something later down the line? and you are right, 30 days between receiving the donation to decide whether it is permissible and whether to accept it, so there are rules in place about this, but why somebody might be giving in some cases really big sums of money. yes. cases really big sums of money. yes, ve strict cases really big sums of money. yes, very strict rules _ cases really big sums of money. yes, very strict rules and _ cases really big sums of money. yes, very strict rules and terms _ cases really big sums of money. .93 very strict rules and terms of who can donate to political parties. that is why we have the 30 day window to look at the donor and check if they are permissible. in terms of why people donate, people have all sorts of individual reasons why they might donate to a political party. they may think that they believe in the principles of that political party as you say, but there are strict rules about who can donate, and also there are strict rules about how much political parties can spend during an election campaign. the national spending limit... acne is all set out on the electoral commission website if you want to check them out. they are governed very closely. as you say, there are all kinds of reasons why different individuals or companies may want to choose to donate or stop it is probably not for me to say, implying any motives to any individual, but i think that we can get a sense from the vast gap between labour and the conservatives in particular, i guess, a sense of how optimistic and excited people who donate to the labour party, how much cash they are willing to part with, compared to people who have historically given to the conservative party. historically given

this election campaign we're following bbc radio 1's newsbeat team as they talk to younger voters around the country about the issues that most matter to them. the team have so far been travelling across england and have now reached birmingham. jordan kenny is a reporter for radioi newsbeat. he gave us a rundown of what the team has been up to. in short, we are racing from the bottom of the country right to the top. in short, we are racing from the bottom of the country right to the top. so newquay in cornwall to northeast scotland, detouring through wales and northern ireland and speaking to as many young people. so 16 to 25—year—olds as possible along the way. about the issues most important to them ahead of the vote. and yes, we are in the studio today. we have made it to the home of newsbeat birmingham. so i'm coming to you live from the mailbox box right now and it's nice to be indoors. we've had some variable weather along the way. the irony that on one of the nicest days of the year so far, you're actually inside because we spoke to you in newport on monday. it was a little different, but home comforts for today's checkpoint. just explain what what people are telling you there. absolutely. yeah. so we're in birmingham, we're in the midlands, middle of the country, and i thought middle of the race. we've covered about 600 miles, zigzagging up the country. it was time to call in some help. so got on the phone to hear me at kirsty grant's from the bbc�*s reliable source podcast and we've been out and about speaking to some students here in brum in the city about what's most important to them. the health care system. so the nhs, because the understaffing i've witnessed, i witnessed it first—hand and it is quite a bit of an issue. i'd like the prime minister| to tackle the poverty crisis and the crisis that renters face with private landlords - decarbonising the country. and the crisis that renters face with private landlords. - decarbonising the country. you know, there was the original goal initially to be looking at being decarbonised by 2050, but now i'm seeing a lot in the manifestos that we're looking towards 30 now. mental health because we're seeing especially. we're seeing like 46% of students have declining mental health since 2022. - 99% of students have had to make some sort of cut back due to the cost of living just to get by. and jordan, it strikes me that everyone's got their priorities, the things they want the government to fix. but are there any patterns in people you're speaking to, you know, gather around certain key issues? yeah, absolutely. two of the big issues that have come up time and time again as we've been making their way up the country, our housing problems and the cost of living. so looking at housing first, max, one of the lads you just saw there, he told us he's in rented accommodation in birmingham that has black mould on the walls and when he flagged that to his landlord, they came in and painted over it with white paint and his rent�*s still going up. so he says what he wants from the next government is better protection for renters. that's what he wants them to focus on. another issue, the cost of living. we're hearing time and time again that young people across the country are struggling to afford to live. whether that's because things like the rents going up or other bills like electricity and heating or just the cost of food. young people are telling us that is one of the biggest priorities when it comes to the 4th ofjuly. and they don't think politicians are giving it enough attention on the campaign trail. and of course, tuesday was the deadline, wasn't it, to be able to register to vote? and i know you've been talking to some first time voters about what they might want to achieve by registering to vote. yeah, absolutely. for lots of people that we speak to, this is the first time they will be able to take part in an election because of their age. but many are telling us they're not going to. take kelly, for instance, in bedford. she told us that she's grown up watching her granddad vote in every election that he's been able to, but know that it's her turn, she says she's not going to bother y because she's looking she says she's not going to bother, why? because she's looking around her area and she says shops are shutting. there's no youth clubs and youth initiatives are being scrapped. and she doesn't think voting will have an impact on that. she's never met a politician before and doesn't think anything they say is relevant to her. and this is something we're seeing reflected across the different areas that we have been to. and it ties in with a major report that was out last week that says confidence in the uk's election and politics system is at an all time low with voters. and, you know, as we're out in the streets speaking to people, this is what they're telling us. so what is next on your magical mystery tour? well, often i don't actually know where the next stop is going to be, because with radio one, there's always a catch and the listeners are setting the newsbeat, listeners are setting each checkpoint, but this time they've let me in on the secret. and i can tell you that checkpoint, it is belfast. so we'll be making your way there over the weekend and i'm quite excited about it because belfast is my home city, so i'll be going home. so mum, if you're watching, get the kettle on. now we want to move to scotland. david wallace lockhart is in greenock — in the constituency of inverclyde and renfrewshire west yeah. i'm at bellville community garden, where the staff and volunteers have very kindly invited us and just before they provide lunch to people living in greenock and we're going to have a word with them about what they want to see in this election, the issues facing this community. i'm going to start with sally — and sally, we've got here some stuff michelle bought from the shops recently, and it's kind of highlighting the problems of cost of living here, isn't it? yeah. so michelle brought all this in with her on her way into work, and she's got a receipt here and we take this kind of out of it. you can see these three items. so milk, bread and a local telegraph, all kind of essential items. and we're looking at a price of £4.44 just for those small amounts of items. and you were making the point as well. this doesn't include a bus fare, and that's quite a lot as well, isn't it? yeah. i mean, if you wanted to get these items cheaper, there are shops within the town centre that you could reduce that course, but then you add on several pounds, five, £15 on a bus fare, which is just unaffordable to most people. so £10 for less than a bus fee are an issue for people in this community. let's speak to to younger voters or potential voters in this community. we've got isla and jamie here. isla, i'll start with you. what sort of changes would you like to see after this election to find jobs in the future? yeah. what's the sort ofjob prospects? i think you're 16 years old. how are the job prospects in a community like greenock at the moment? quite difficult. and jamie, do you find the same? to be honest, yeah, ifeel i feel the same way. - usually i'm trying to find - an apprenticeship after college and either i'm getting something i or they don't get back to me at all. and it's more so kind of like trying to pay for it along with kind - of like say, i don't know, - i go to university after college and i'm trying to find a flat. how am i going to pay for the flat if the prices are going _ to keep going up? so perhaps the opportunity is not quite there. and isla, if the prime minister or another leading politician was watching this right now. what would you want to see to them? what would you want to say to them? is itjust that opportunity of create some jobs, create some more opportunities in communities like this? yeah, yeah. we're going to have a quick word here with these two. who i think it's fair to say we'll use a scottish word here, are both slightly... with the state of politics. chris, start with you. yep, i'm in my mid—forties. i've never really voted. i didn't see the point, honestly. janet, what do you make of it? well, i'm a pensionerand i've not voted for the past ten years - because ijust feel that nothing's happening with any of them. - they all end a lot of money- and i know they're entitled to that. but a pensioner like myself living on £240 a week is unacceptable. | well, cost of living, i think it's fair to say clearly an issue coming up here and perhaps some voter apathy about what exactly can change. but thank you to everyone here at bellville community gardens for taking the time to speak to us. we're going to let them crack on now. we're serving lunch to the community here in greenock. the very latest there from scotland. the very latest there from scotland. the industrial strategy outlined in the manifesto is designed to help those institutions that develop meaningful partnerships with industry. we speak to alison mcgovern the shadow minister for social security. mcgovern the shadow minister for socialsecurity. i mcgovern the shadow minister for social security. i will come into those plans in a moment. i want to speak to festival about who knew what about when the election was called. rishi sunak says that an investigation is under way, he won't be drawn on it, he says he will boot them out of the party if they are found to have broken the rules. is that enough?— found to have broken the rules. is that enough? no, i don't think it is enouah. i that enough? no, i don't think it is enough. i mean, _ that enough? no, i don't think it is enough. i mean, it— that enough? no, i don't think it is enough. i mean, it is— that enough? no, i don't think it is enough. i mean, it is obviously - that enough? no, i don't think it is enough. i mean, it is obviously a i enough. i mean, it is obviously a big decision for any leader to suspend a candidate middle action, you will remember that unfortunately, it was absolutely devastating, labour were in this situation, my party, recently in a by—election. keir starmer took the right action which was to say we have to suspend our support for this candidate. i don't think rishi sunak has done enough. there are so many questions about this issue. who knew what, when, how widespread this is? it is extremely worrying. i wish the prime minister would just take clear steps to show that this kind of thing will not be tolerated. ltruthat thing will not be tolerated. what would those _ thing will not be tolerated. what would those steps _ thing will not be tolerated. what would those steps be? - thing will not be tolerated. what would those steps be? as - thing will not be tolerated. what would those steps be? as i - thing will not be tolerated. what would those steps be? as i said| would

equivocate on it. he is going to suspend candidates, that a section keir starmer track when this happened to us. no political party is perfect, but what leaders can do is perfect, but what leaders can do is show that they are prepared to take action when necessary, and as i said, there are so many questions on this, wejust need rishi sunak to take the correct action and to show he is prepared to stand up and do what is necessary even when it is challenging in the middle of an election. he challenging in the middle of an election. . :, challenging in the middle of an election. , :, . election. he says he will do that, he 5a 5 election. he says he will do that, he says we _ election. he says he will do that, he says we will _ election. he says he will do that, he says we will beat _

you are suspended while the investigation place. i think rishi sunak should show leadership on this issue. it is very important, and i remember when he came in to his post as prime minister, he said he would bring integrity back to what was happening integrity back to what was happening in the conservative party and in the government. i am sorry to say that it has been a continuation of 14 years of chaos, and that is why lots of people think that it is time for a change, because wejust of people think that it is time for a change, because we just cannot go on like this any more. haifa a change, because we 'ust cannot go on like this any more. how damaging aaivin all of on like this any more. how damaging giving all of this _ on like this any more. how damaging giving all of this is? _ on like this any more. how damaging giving all of this is? nobody - on like this any more. how damaging giving all of this is? nobody is - giving all of this is? nobody is really talking about the issues. much of the staff are being announced by the parties on the campaign trail today is utterly being disregarded. for all of the talk about who knew what about the date of the election would be called, it is damaging to voters, also, and a distraction from real issues that everybody should and want to be talking about. i issues that everybody should and want to be talking about.- want to be talking about. i think eve bod want to be talking about. i think everybody has _ want to be talking about. i think everybody has had _ want to be talking about. i think everybody has had enough - want to be talking about. i think everybody has had enough of i want to be talking about. i think. everybody has had enough of this. we've had enough of the chaos. when i am looking through my inbox, what people are talking to me about in the election, as well as being on doorsteps, in lots of different areas, i would say that my own personal experience has been that the top issue is the nhs, people are very worried about it across a whole range of conditions, whether that is cancer, people struggling with things like arthritis, i think people are also, i was just listening to the interviews before i came on, and people in greenock are thinking about how much prices have gone up and up, and the action that we need to take to get energy bills down. so, iwould really welcome we need to take to get energy bills down. so, i would really welcome a chance to talk about what we can do about those issues. for that, we need an end to the tory chaos and we need an end to the tory chaos and we need to get on with the changes we need to get on with the changes we needin need to get on with the changes we need in our country to make sure people have a public service that they can rely on, health service thatis they can rely on, health service that is there for them, and our health government is going to ensure that they can afford to feed the family, have a roof over their head, and have a decent quality of life. and you are announcing today that industrial strategy. give as a sense as to what that could be used for and where that would help businesses. this is about growing the economy?— businesses. this is about growing the econom ? . , :, the economy? that is right. to come back to the — the economy? that is right. to come back to the people _ the economy? that is right. to come back to the people i _ the economy? that is right. to come back to the people i was _ the economy? that is right. to come back to the people i was listening i back to the people i was listening to their in greenock, that area of scotland near to the port glasgow, there is a huge amount of industry that has happened there in the past, and what we are thinking about is: how can we bring so many jobs to those areas where there has been a lot of industry in the past, where there is a great innovation, for example at the university of glasgow and at the other places where there are exciting things happening, particularly in the area of energy and new forms of energy? how can we get investment strategy bringing with it newjobs? our announcement today is to say that often it is political chaos getting an awareness innovation. so, let us have a ten year funding strategy that will mean people in business and industry have certainty about the future. if you give people stability, that is when the jobs come. i am from merseyside. i know you need political stability and a long—term plan if you are going to rescue an economy. 50, what we long—term plan if you are going to rescue an economy. so, what we want to do is get on that investment strategy in there, get a research funding in, and as shadow minister for employment, i have a plan to turn ourjobs around so that when people walk into them, they are the chances and opportunities in the industries of the future. that is our comprehensive plan to ensure that we have a kind ofjobs i was just listening to those people talking about in greenock. i also want to talk— talking about in greenock. i also want to talk to _ talking about in greenock. i also want to talk to you _ talking about in greenock. i also want to talk to you about - talking about in greenock. i also i want to talk to you about honesty with voters. two weeks from today we will know who will be forming the next government. of course, there was of the conservative claim at the beginning of this, labour would increase taxes by £2000 for each working family. that is something party have said is simply not true. your numbers are not liked today either, labour's claim that the conservative manifesto plans raising mortgage by £5,000, they say that that was an estimate over five years. the principles are set out in a statement over the £2000 also applies to your claim about £4800. it is about being honest with people, isn't it?— it is about being honest with people, isn't it? yes, and i think that if it is _ people, isn't it?

how much interest rates would need to go up much interest rates would need to go up if we had the kind of fiscal hole that liz truss introduced. i would say that the way to get this right is for politicians to work with organisations like the apr and others who scrutinise public figures and to take their advice, that is what i would do in response. we know what i would do in response. we know what happens when you don't do that, a liz truss style economic meltdown. we have to take advice from people who are interested in the good quality of data, which is what i will do. : ,:, quality of

out of the humanitarian situation in gaza after eight months of war. the united nations says that more than1 million people there are facing catastrophic levels of starvation by the middle of next month. gaza's water infrastructure has been heavily damaged in the war. that means getting water, whether it is clean or not, is a daily struggle with the risk of diseases spreading. it comes as the us military says a temporary pier off the coast of gaza has been re—anchored, allowing the resumption of aid deliveries. it said more than 6,000 tonnes of aid were delivered on yesterday. israel is under pressure to allow more aid across the border, and doctors fear the situation will only get worse, especially for young children. we should warn you that this report from our correspondent we can speak now to the co—founder of the charity, children not numbers. those warnings are pretty stark. some elements of hope in that the pair, albeit clunky and slow as a way of getting aid into gaza, isn't now up and running again. give your assessment as to the risk of hunger and catastrophic damage. from a hunter hunger and catastrophic damage. farrah a hunger perspective, we know 16% of children under the age of two now face acute malnutrition. there is a day that goes by when we are not referred a child at risk of severe hunger, dehydration, they are becoming more sick, more sickly as a consequence. focusing on the water issue, there are no sanitation systems which are effective. like all of the civilian infrastructure in gaza, it is on its knees. we are seeing increasing numbers of families resorting to diy water sanitation techniques. we know of two cases where that has cost children their lives. we had one case of a three—year—old boy who ran into a cauldron of boiling hot water that his mother was trying to use to make formula for how young a baby. that child subsequently died of 60% of third degree burns to his body because he ran into the cauldron. we are looking at a system where there are looking at a system where there are no home testing kits for water like you would expect anywhere else. we are seeing children dying of completely unavoidable conditions every single day we have a different child referred to us. they have a fever are showing signs of acute malnutrition, and actually, one of the things that we have been asking repeatedly for is for more aid to come in, including water. we try, as an organisation, to distribute at least two litres of water with every age basket we provide, but it is grossly inadequate.— age basket we

to have broken the rules, they should not only face the full consequences of the law, but i will ensure they are booted out the conservative party, too. labour's leader, sir keir starmer, criticised the pm and called for the candidates to be suspended. the instinct of these tories when an election is called is not, "how do we make this work for this country," but, "how do i make some money?" and that tells you a broader picture about— and that tells you a broader picture about politics. of course he should suspend these candidates. i've been spending a day in greenock finding— i've been

admitted his team is falling "a little bit short" of expectations after drawing 1—1 against denmark at euro 2024. hello, i'm ben thompson. welcome to bbc news. we are two weeks away from knowing the results of the general election. the political parties have been campaigning across the country. the prime minister with politicking in wales today. there have been more calls for rishi sunak to suspend two conservative candidates who are being investigated for alleged bets on when the general election would be held. this morning, the prime minister wouldn't be drawn on whether he was aware of other candidates or party officials who had placed a bet, insisting multiple independent investigations were under way, and he insisted again that any tories found to have broken betting rules would be "booted out" of the party. take a listen. there are full investigations that are currently happening. it's right that those investigations are allowed to proceed. they are independent. they are necessarily confidential, as you will appreciate. there's also a criminal investigation, and these are potentially criminal matters and the police are conducting those. you'll be aware of that. and because of that, i hope you can appreciate there's not much more i can add. what i can tell you is, as i said, if anyone is found to have broken the rules, they should not only face the full consequences of the law, i will ensure that they are booted out of the conservative party, too. applause. labour has accused rishi sunak of a "total lack of leadership" for not suspending the candidates over allegations of illegal gambling. here's sir keir starmer speaking on the campaign trail in scotland. the prime minister is showing a total lack of leadership on this. let's look at what actually happened. in relation to a general election, the instincts of these tories when the general election is called is not, "how do we make this work for the country," but, "how do i make some money?" and that tells you a broader picture about politics. of course, he should suspend these candidates. if they were my candidates, they'd be gone by now out of the door. he needs to take tough action. he's not even saying today whether there's more involved. so he needs a full account. it's a total lack of leadership. the lib dem leader, sir ed davey, also urged the prime minister to take "tougher action" on those accused of breaking betting rules. i think if people know the outcome i of something and they bet on it, i i think that's immoral. and i don't think that looks right. |and too often in this parliament, | we've seen the conservative party and certainly members - of the conservative party looking like they're in it for themselves, | not for public service and what'si in the best interests of the country. - so i hope he'll take i some tougher action. with me is our correspondent nick eardley. with me is our correspondent harry farley. it really has done it in the agenda today despite what all the parties want to talk about. everyone wants to know who knew the date of the election. :, . , election. you are right, this continues — election. you are right, this continues to _ election. you are right, this continues to swirl _ election. you are right, this continues to swirl and - election. you are right, this - continues to swirl and dominate campaigning today. remind you if you are coming and layard forgot the details. numericalfour people are coming and layard forgot the details. numerical four people are being looked into over alleged bets placed on the timing of an election before it was called. two of them are conservative candidates, laura saunders and craig williams. mr williams has apologised and said he made an error ofjudgment and miss saunders said she will cooperate fully with the up investigation by the gambling commission. also the former conservative director of campaigning he was a step back from that role and a police officer serving in the prime minister's close protection team. as you say, questions about this continue to swirl rishi sunak has said there is a limit to what he can say because there is an investigation ongoing but he was asked directly today whether he knew of anyone else he was being looked into over alleged bets that have been placed and he did not answer that question directly. but he did same as you her just then that if anyone has been found to have broken the rules, then they should face the full force of the law and he will ensure that they are kicked out of the conservative party. i think it's fair to say that it's less than two weeks now until polling day and these are questions the conservative party could really do without at this stage of the campaign. do without at this stage of the campaign-— do without at this stage of the cam-vain. 9 . , campaign. while you are with us, let's talk about _ campaign. while you are with us, let's talk about fundraising - campaign. while you are with us, let's talk about fundraising and i let's talk about fundraising and donations to all the political parties. we have got a number that suggests that labour donations are 15 times the level of the conservatives. this relates to the second week of the election campaign. second week of the election campaign-— second week of the election cam-vain. . v . :, , campaign. that's right, the nations between 6-12 _ campaign. that's right, the nations between 6-12 gene _ campaign. that's right, the nations between 6-12 gene in _ campaign. that's right, the nations between 6-12 gene in every - campaign. that's right, the nations between 6-12 gene in every week. between 6—12 gene in every week during the campaign parties must report to the electoral commission any donations they receive above a certain figure, around £11,000. for that second week of the campaign, june the 6th —12th, labour received more than £4.3 million and the largest single donation coming from lord sainsbury, the former party donor under tony blair. he switched and gave money to the liberal democrats when jeremy and gave money to the liberal democrats whenjeremy corbyn was leader of labour and has recently started donating back to labour again so a real boost for keir starmer moving former business leaders with the former supermarket chair there. the conservatives only raised to the ninth £2000 during that second week behind the liberal democrats he raised 330000 and behind even reform uk with most of that coming to a company owned by their chairman. i think that tells you and the gulf in particular between labour and the conservatives tells you a little bit about the optimism and the sense of enthusiasm from people who typically give to those different parties and labour particularly very pleased with that donation of 2.5 million from lord sainsbury. donation of 2.5 million from lord sainsbu . ,:, :, donation of 2.5 million from lord sainsbury— sainsbury. good to talk to you,

with this and i would come under that day of the election betting and a second ballistic about the donations. the conservative ranging up to 90 to £500,000 in the second week in labour on 4.3 million

glasgow, the party's deputy leader, kate forbes, said the snp would demand whoever wins the election to commit to cutting the rate of vat for businesses in an effort to boost business and grow the economy. scotland, under the snp, has for eight years - been a top destination for foreign i direct investment because investors see what we're doing and like it. and that's outside london - and the south—east, of course. we also have an agenda for growth when it comes to abolishing - |or cutting rates for over 100,000| businesses, proposing today a cut to vat for hospitality businesses that have been challenged, - so we believe that there is a record here that scotland can be proud of. we want to go further. so, as we said, with just under two weeks until polling day, and in the run—up to the 4th ofjuly, we're speaking to people across the uk to find out what's important to them and what might win their vote next month. we're in constituencies all over the country, and today, we've been focusing on the big issues for voters in scotland. david wallace lockhart, the bbc scotland political correspondent, is in greenock in the constituency of inverclyde and renfrewshire west. you spoke to us earlier and introduced her to some first—time voters there so what is the sense you have had throughout the day about people they are greenock want westchester deliver for them? lfutill westchester deliver for them? will welcome to — westchester deliver for them? ll welcome to summer on the west coast of scotland. it's gotten so cold now that i have got to put a cold on the nothing but a warm welcome from the people of greenock today. a bit of context for this seat, it's inverclyde and renfrewshire west and thatis inverclyde and renfrewshire west and that is the name of it at the next election. former industrial area, ship building being here, ourareas of deprivation in this constituency these days? the area traditionally that would have been a reliable liver maxi at every election but since 2015, it's the snp who have been representing this area and that is sort of the key fight at the upcoming general election. in terms of issues, we have spent the day here and being at a community kitchen that was feeding people in it greenock who were coming along for a free lunch. we've been at the local football stadium talking to young people who are learning skills to hopefully help them in the job market, and there were a couple of issues that really did keep coming up. the cost—of—living simply an issue the voters here want to see addressed. those concerns about what is going into people's accounts each month, just not sufficient for what's coming out at the moment. another big issue, young people who really don't see a huge amount of job opportunities here, here almost becoming somewhat resigned to that idea of having to move away to other parts of scotland or perhaps even further afield if they want job opportunities going forward. and another perhaps a slight topic that is been raising its head time and time again is perhaps a sense of voter apathy. a sense of constituents not being entirely confident that whatever happens at the election, those issues i have been talking about are fundamentally going to change or at least are going to change or at least are going to change in the short term. but that's where the candidates he will be trying to convince voters notjust in this seat but is teeth across scotland that they can ultimately make the changes to basically improve people's lives in seats like this, inverclyde and renfrewshire west.— seats like this, inverclyde and renfrewshire west. david, you're tuite riaht renfrewshire west. david, you're quite right and — renfrewshire west. david, you're quite right and looking _ renfrewshire west. david, you're quite right and looking at - renfrewshire west. david, you're quite right and looking at a - quite right and looking at a beautiful drone shot above your head there that looks gorgeous but does not like summer by any stretch of the imagination. talk to me about what those issues there tell us about the wider scottish political landscape. is there a sense of what those letters and telling you about out this election could be won or lost by each party up there? yeah, i think the issues _ lost by each party up there? yeah, i think the issues we _ lost by each party up there? yeah, i think the issues we are _ lost by each party up there? yeah, i think the issues we are hearing - think the issues we are hearing about in this very picturesque, beautiful constituency are similar to those being talked about and other areas of scotland. the scottish political landscape is interesting. there are lots of snp versus labour seats but in other parts of the country, it's where the snp are always of the incumbent or the main challenger really is scotland, if the conservatives they are taking on some patches and in others the liberal democrats. those issues of cost of good job opportunities will be big across the country but there are other patches with more localised areas it. if you go to the highlands, you will perhaps hear about rural issues in about a shortage of people to on job vacancies come at some point the finger of blame at rex is on site not enough has been done to ensure the rural communities in scotland are supported. if you go to areas of the northeast of scotland, the oil and gas industry and the uncertain future it faces as a scottish government and the uk government try to move the country towards more of a focus on renewables, you will hear that as a concern that voters bring up. and you will hear that as an issue that the parties are trying to convince constituents that they have ultimately got the best plans on. but across scotland and i think a very similar picture across the whole of the uk, there are concerns about the cost of living, there are concerns about how the nhs is working, there are concerns about job opportunities for young people and an interesting final nugget of talk about in this election is scotland is independence. it is an issue that is definitely a factor, all the parties contesting the election up here have had strong positions on it, but perhaps is not just at the front of the campaign is much as it has been in previous general elections in scotland. that may well change in the two weeks we have got running up to campaign day, to voting day itself, but i do feel that the issue of independence is there and is always a factor in scottish politics but perhaps not quite as upfront in the campaign as it has been in 2019 and 2017. really tood to it has been in 2019 and 2017. really good to get — it has been in 2019 and 2017. really good to get your — it has been in 2019 and 2017. really good to get your assessment - it has been in 2019 and 2017. really good to get your assessment of - it has been in 2019 and 2017. really good to get your assessment of a i good to get your assessment of a really busy day for you, that he was looking us and introducing at the semi—people right across that region, thank you, david willis lockhart there us in greenock. you'll be able to see a list of all the candidates standing in the inverclyde and renfrewshire west at this general election on your screen now. and you can see a list of all the candidates standing in all the constituencies across the country on the bbc news website. and a reminder, nick robinson continues his series of interviews with the party leaders tonight. he'll be joined by the reform uk party leader nigel farage on panorama. that's at 7pm on bbc one and bbc iplayer, and you can watch that interview again tonight at 8:30pm here on bbc news. the chief constable of northamptonshire police, nick adderley, has been found guilty of gross misconduct amid claims he exaggerated his rank and length of service and lied about his naval achievements. our midlands correspondent navtej johal explains more. this is frankly an extraordinary case with very serious implications, and notjust for nick adderly, the man at the heart of it all. if we go back to the beginning, this was all sparked by a complaint from a member of the public who turned out to be nick adderley�*s ex—wife, who took issue with media reports about his naval record. and that complaint has led eventually to this a gross misconduct hearing which has been poring over claims made by nick adderley about his career. and they include him implying that he had served in the falklands war even though he was just 15 at the time of the conflict in 1982, that he worked as a military negotiator in haiti in the 19805 even though he had never visited the country, and that he wore medals that he had not earned. and on that, specifically a south atlantic medal which was given to falkland war veterans, which was described by one medal expert in the hearing as "110% a fake". now, the panel found that all of the allegations had been proven. they dismissed him from his job as chief constable, and they highlighted what they felt was his arrogant temerity in terms of how he lied. they said that he had shown sustained and brazen dishonesty and that his application for the job had contained lie upon lie. despite being instructed to do so, mr adderley did not attend the conclusion of the hearing here today, but through his legal counsel, he released a statement which said that he apologised to the veterans and families that he had caused any hurt or offence to. but he himself did not appear. he had appeared at previous days earlier in the hearing. and in terms of the impact of this, at the end of the hearing, the panel did note that this case is likely to have a serious and lasting harm on the reputation of the police. 21 minutes past five. families across the middle east are waiting to hear whether their relatives are among hundreds of pilgrims reported to have died at the annual hajj festival, killed by the stifling heat. while saudi arabia hasn't released official figures, more and more individual countries have now confirmed the deaths of their citizens in mecca, including egypt. the egyptian government has pledged to investigate local brokers who sent thousands to the holy city of mecca without the required permits. in the last hour, a senior saudi official defended the gulf kingdom's management, telling the afp news agency that the "state did not fail, but there was a misjudgment on the part of people who did not appreciate the risks". well, the bbc�*s sally nabil visited the northern province of mennoufiya and met a bereaved family of one of the victims. a family in mourning over the loss of their mother. this 70—year—old lady went to the muslim holy city of mecca for hajj, a lifelong dream to fulfil her religious duty, a duty that led to her death. she was among hundreds of egyptian pilgrims who lost their lives while performing rituals in the unforgiving saudi heat. her children believe she died of exhaustion. translation: i screamed and couldn't believe it. - she phoned my brother and told him she felt her soul is leaving her body. i wish i was with her. pilgrims who didn't want to pay fees or tackle that bureaucracy made use of a visitors visa, but this route has turned out to be very costly. she was one of these unregistered pilgrims, selling herjewellery to pay for the trip, she used a local broker. he promised her a flawless service, but reality was different. translation: when i called her, i she was pouring water over her head because of the heat. she could barely open her eyes. she told me the bus dropped her 12 kilometres away from mount arafat and she had to walk all this way on foot. translation: the broker took advantage of her passion - to go and made promises. when i called, her facei was as red as a tomato. they made a tent out of bedsheets. they had no accommodation. official pilgrims have _ air—conditioned tents and meals. my mum's death broke me. many egyptian pilgrims come from poor villages like this one. mostly old people who put their lifetime savings to make this ritual journey. for them, it is a dream to go to mecca. they didn't know that they will never come back. families here have been telling me they have no idea who will be held accountable for this tragedy. the egyptian authorities now say they are going to investigate the tour companies that offer unofficial hajj trips. most of the dead are said to have been unofficial pilgrims. the saudi authorities have initially banned them from joining hajj, but they eventually changed their mind. it appears no preparations have been in place to handle this overflow of people. fears are growing that the death toll will rise even further and more egyptian families might be paying a farewell to their loved ones. sally nabil, bbc news, mennoufiya, northern egypt. around 1500 tata steelworkers will begin an indefinite strike. this is the first time in 40 years that steelworkers in the uk have taken strike action. around 8700 tata steelworkers are set to lose their jobs when the company closes both blast furnaces in port talbot. the strike will begin soon at the strike site in port talbot and newport. the headlines very shortly and was taken on the weather first was sarah keith lucas. hello. friday's weather brought us an east—west split across the uk. we had quite a lot of cloud for many western areas, some patchy outbreaks of rain. this was the picture in argyll and bute a little bit earlier on, but a really different picture for many central and eastern areas. some spells of blue sky and warm sunshine as you can see from the scene in whitby a little earlier on. now through the weekend, a bit more of this. we have still got some warm sunshine to come. there will be a little bit of rain in the forecast at times. i think we won't all see it, but a slightly mixed picture over the next couple of days. through the course of this evening and tonight, we've got this cloud and patchy rain moving from west to east, so a bit of a damp start to saturday morning across central and eastern parts of england in particular. clearer skies, though, reappearing from the west. so it's here that temperatures will just about dip into single figures. but a mild night in the east, 13—14 degrees to kick off your weekend. but we do start with that low cloud and drizzly light rain in the east. it should tend to break up and brighten up through the day, and actually for much of the uk, then, we're looking at spells of sunshine. so a brighter day for scotland, northern ireland and wales, the south—west of england, too, but a bit more cloud just creeping into the far north—west by the end of the afternoon. so temperatures in stornoway for instance, just 15 degrees, but for the bulk of the uk, 18—22. so a touch cooler and fresher than it was on friday. but if you suffer from hay fever, you might want to look away now. very high levels of pollen really almost across the map, just low or moderate across the north of scotland. so as we move through into the second half of the weekend, now, we've still got those high pollen levels. we've also got high pressure that's squeezing away most of those weather fronts. the remnants of a frontal system still bringing a bit more cloud, parts of northern england, wales, down towards the south—west on sunday, but that should break up through the day. either side of that, some longer spells of sunshine, and i think it'll feel a bit warmer than saturday and a bit more humid, especially towards the south—east, with a change in wind direction. 24—25 degrees for london, the south—east as well, but we're looking at more widely temperatures in the high teens or low 205. by the time we get to monday, again a bit more cloud drifting into the north—west of the uk. so some areas of cloud around, not wall—to—wall sunshine, but some spells of warm june sunshine and temperatures up to about 27, possibly 28 degrees. so some warm weather on the cards over the next couple of days. looks like things turn a little bit more unsettled and a touch cooler initially in the north—west, and then spreading a bit further east through the second half of this coming week. bye— bye. this is bbc news, the headlines opposition leaders are calling for rishi sunak to take "tougher action" in response to claims that conservative insiders made bets on the timing of the general election. the chief constable of northamptonshire police has been dismissed for gross misconduct after a hearing found he had lied to get the job. the former head of the federation which represents sub—postmasters has for members of britain's richest families at hinduja have been handed over sentences. the former head of the federation which represents sub—postmasters has insisted the faulty horizon it system is robust. more on those stores shortly, let's checkin more on those stores shortly, let's check in with the bbc sport centre hugh ferris. hello from the bbc sport centre let's start with today's action at the european championship in germany where poland v austria kicked off half an hour ago but it only took nine minutes to get a goal. gernot trauner gave austria the lead in berlin. that's currently 1—0. we've already had one result. group e is now wide open after ukraine came from behind to beat slovakia 2—1 in dusseldorf. slovakia, who'd won their opening game against belgium, took the lead in the first half — and a victory would have qualified them for the knockout stage. ukraine looked to be heading out of the tournament after losing their first game — but first they equalised through mykola sha pa renko. and then, with ten minutes to go, subsitute roman yaremchuk made himself a hero. that keeps ukraine's chances alive. later, all eyes will be on the france team sheet to see what part, if any, kylian mbappe plays. it's still unclear whether he will feature and if he does, what kind of mask he wears after breaking his nose in their win against austria on monday. that match in leipzig starts at 8pm. poland have just equalised poland havejust equalised on poland have just equalised on the half mark so 1—1 a share. england's fate will be decided in theirfinal group game against slovenia in cologne on tuesday. progress to the last 16 is still only just a point away despite the reaction to their disappointing performance against denmark dominating the day. the players who didn't play yesterday trained this morning — with luke shaw still continuing his individual training programme. our reporter alex howell was there for us. the england team were back on the pitch today at their base in blankenhain as they recover from that draw with denmark last night. the ten players that did not feature were out on the pitch, which means anthony gordon, kobbie mainoo and adam wharton were out on the pitch, potentially players who could come in for the next game after the fallout from last night's match continues. gareth southgate said the england team are still looking for a solution in midfield, and that trent alexander—arnold playing in midfield is a experiment, so potentially we could see one or two of those players come in. harry kane said that the england team did not fully know how to press and they were not great with the ball, but crucially, england are in a strong position in the group. they are still top, they have four points, they are two points clear of the teams around them, and they play slovenia in their final group match on tuesday, which will give them a chance of qualifying for the round of 16. kieran tierney says 'heartbroken doesn't cut it�* after he was ruled out of the rest of the tournament with scotland still in with a chance of making it out of their group. the defender suffered a hamstring injury during their 1—1 draw with switzerland on wednesday night and has returned to his club arsenal to get treament. he's just the latest problem steve clarke faces in defence, while centre back ryan porteous is also suspended for their final group game against hungary. after missing out on the euros and some pretty poor recent results, wales have sacked manager rob page. page led wales to their first world cup in 64 years when they played in qatar in 2022. they also got through to the last 16 of the previous euros. wales thanked page for his service and acknowledged his role in the "significant milestones and victories which have created many incredible memories" for the nation during his time in charge. england have been set 164 to beat south africa in their second super 85 game of the t20 world cup. england won the toss and decided to bowl in saint lucia. and they might have regretted that decision early on as quinton de kock made a half—century in just 22 balls. butjos buttler�*s side managed to get him for 65 thanks to the captain himself, who took a superb catch as south africa made 163—6. in reply, england are 19—1. jack draper has taken his queens quarter final into a deciding set against american tommy paul. he lost the first 6—3 to the fifth seed... but has just broken in the 12th game of the second to take it 7—5. these are life pictures at the bbc coverage. draper beat carlos alcaraz the defending champion both here at queens and wimbledon to make the last eight. after putting notes of the tournament earlier this week, andy murray said he would go surgery on his back, there would have it tomorrow. the 37—year—old is hoping tomorrow. the 37—year—old is hoping to make a pair with her appearance at wimbledon which has not been ruled out despite the injury, although time is ticking with only one week and a bit onto the shopping trips. that is all the sport for now. a court in switzerland has sentenced four members of britain's richest family over exploitation and illegal employment. it was alleged the hinduja family imported workers from india and paid them as little as £7 a day. the family were acquitted on a charge of human trafficking, but the prosecutor has called for their immediate arrest. they were not in court to hear the verdict. let's speak to our geneva correspondent imogen foulkes. remind us of the background. what was alle . ed remind us of the background. what was alleged it _ remind us of the

family in their geneva home and it was the suburb of geneva, and what was alleged was paying them very low wages, but also the allegations that their passports had been confiscated and that they were not allowed to leave the house. the charge of trafficking, which is a very serious one in switzerland, that was dismissed by the judges, one in switzerland, that was dismissed by thejudges, but one in switzerland, that was dismissed by the judges, but they still to a certain extent through the book at the four members of the family, because they have still sentenced them to prison terms of up to four and a half years for the charge of expectation. the judge told them that they had abused their power over very poor people, some of who were illiterates, who came, agreed to take the work, but then did not really know the conditions they would be asked to working, and i think this is, well, we don't know where the four members of the hinduja and they are now, this is britain's richest family, big villa in switzerland, two were in court earlier this week but did not appear for the verdict today, but as you said, the prosecutor has called for their detention, these are not suspended

of abuse of very poor people working for a very rich people. in geneva. there is a kind of dark side, everybody who lives in geneva kind of knows about it and the prosecutor knows about it, it probably won't be his first case, and i think he certainly decided, quit or we are going to work on this case and take all the evidence that we have, and unless it turns out, at least part of his case, thejudge unless it turns out, at least part of his case, the judge agreed with him and sentenced for members of britain's richest family to four to four and half years in prison. thank ou, four

close to their low share since the last general election in 2019. the labour party in the red month their lowest score since but they continue to enjoy —— enjoy in need of about 21 points. these suggested reforms are in the battle with conservatives for second base, they are neck and neck, not something a governing party would want with less than two weeks ago until poland a. liberal democrats, they are a bit ahead of where they were when the prime minister called the election, the greens snp and played primary stain stable throughout the campaign. later this evening, the leaders of the main welsh parties will go head to head in a live debate in cardiff. wales secretary and conservative candidate david tc davies, first minister and wales' labour leader vaughan gething, first minister and wales' labour leader vaughan gething, plaid cymru's rhun ap iorwerth, the welsh liberal democrats' jane dodd and reform's oliver lewis will all appear in front of an invited audience for the event hosted by bbc wales presenter bethan rhys roberts. let's speak to our reporter lucy vladev who is in our cardiff newsroom. we spoke earlier about the problems in scotland, and remind us about the specific issues right now in wales because it really will inform who gets the keys to number ten based on the real key issues that some are the real key issues that some are the same and yet some are very specific to the home nations. preparations are well under way for this evenings debate, it is looking like it would be a very interesting one as well. five of the main parties here in wales would be going head—to—head, two of which, most labour and was conservatives have just today launched their manifestos. wales, of course, being a devolved power, it means there is an interesting interplay here. wills has been labour led government for the past 25 years since devolution, some policies are made here, some are made in westminster, including how much funding wales gets, and thatis how much funding wales gets, and that is where the mp5 chosen in this election will be heading. as for issues we can expect to come up, the cost of living of course is likely to come up, that has led to some interesting tussles in previous debates, as well as the nhs. the nhs is a devolved power here in wales and waiting list, according to the latest figures, are at record levels, so we are expecting a lot of poking and prodding between politicians this evening. and with politicians, you're also expecting it at the politics. the number of seats is going down in wales, it is now 32 because of boundary changes, and it is also a lot of changes about the sort of power that westminster wheels over wales, and how much of it should be controlled in wales and how much should be uk governments lead. so an awful lot going on today in wales, but there's also another element to this which is the audience. 100 members of the public have applied to be here, they all have different views, different voting intentions, and some of them are still undecided, so inevitably, the poking and prodding from the audience to the politicians here in wales is likely to be the thing that brings the most interesting interactions this evening. thank ou, interactions this evening. thank you. lucy. _ interactions this evening. thank you. lucy. l— interactions this evening. thank you.

bbc one in wales, bbc radio wales and here on the bbc news channel. as another week of campaigning draws to a close —and with just under two weeks to go until the nation goes to polls— wejoined by a panel to discuss the latest election news. joining me now william atkinson? ?who is assistant editor at conservative home?— and sonia sodha observer columnist and former adviser to ed miliband. good to see you both. thank you, a lot to talk about. coming onto policies in just a sec because the parties have been trying hard to get their policy messages out today but all they want to talk about, sonia, is who knew what about the election day and who has been putting bets on. it has dominated things today. it ties, and it's on. it has dominated things today. it ties, and its extraordinary on. it has dominated things today. it ties, and it's extraordinaryjust two weeks out in a general election campaign, the conservative party is now seeing their campaign dominated by this news story. we have seen questions raised about two conservative parliamentary candidates and a police officer, who was part of rishi sunak�*s security detail, about allegations of insider betting, which is essentially when you know something is going to happen and you have insider information something is going to happen and you put a bet on it when the rest of the world doesn't have that information for profit. it is unlawful in the uk. it is tightly prescribed, there are laws against it, and that is why, in one of the cases at least, we know it is a criminal investigation, but i think it is really damaging or conservatives because it plays into a lack of trust in politics, the general anti—politics mood, the idea that some politicians may be undertake, and we have had a lots of stories about corruption in politics in the last four or five years or so, stories about partygate and integrity of politicians who old —— hold office, and this help with that. : ~ . hold office, and this

union answered questions at the post office horizon it inquiry today. george thomson who ran the national federation of subpostmasters , which represents the vast majority of self—employed sub—postmasters —— was asked why the federation didn't do more to look after its members. our correspondent azadeh moshiri has been following the inquiry one former postmistress who's been listening to all this testimony has said that it's added insult to injury. george thompson stepped down as general secretary in 2017. that was when victims allege a cover—up was going on. so what did he know about problems with the horizon it system, and why didn't he do more to help members? he says it's because the horizon it system was and still is robust. ben, that is something we haven't even heard from the former bosses of fujitsu, who appeared here at the inquiry earlier this week. he said the number of subpostmasters who were prosecuted is a tiny percentage of the 100,000 people who've been using horizon over the last 25 years. now, he did criticise the post office for not telling him about bugs, not telling him about remote access. he said he was furious at what he called the post office's shenanigans, but he also criticised sir alan bates and thejustice for subpostmasters alliance for painting what he thought is an inaccurate picture of the horizon it system, which again he says is still robust. and he says they've damaged the post office brand all over the uk. in fact, the inquiry saw an e—mail from 2012 that he wrote to paula vennells, the former chief executive of the post office, calling sir alan bates' his criticisms rubbish. he also criticised the fact there was an independent investigation into the horizon it system. listen to some of that exchange. you've received six or seven complaints from people. yeah, based on what was on the, yeah, on the tv. yes, ijust said. you're getting in touch with the post office, but you're not saying, "please investigate these problems." you're saying, "i'm very disappointed that there is an independent review going on into horizon." i've explained why i was disappointed because we should've been in the loop on the decision, on the rationale for the decision. and again, i make no apologies that i am and i was a supporter of the horizon system. now, ben, you can imagine some of the reaction here today. a lawyer for many of the victims, for hundreds of victims, has said that this amounts to "a flat—earther defence". i also spoke to one of the former subpostmasters in attendance today, nitin pandit. take a listen. it was just one same standard - response, that the system is robust, and that's why we are all very angry even today now. _ we are sitting in the inquiry, and - so many of us are absolutely fuming. and they were not supposed to be working hand—in—hand _ with the post office, _ they were supposed to protect us. where were they? there's another issue, ben, and that's the amount of money that the national federation of subpostmasters was receiving from the post office. the inquiry has heard that it was in the millions during the scandal, and so he was asked by the inquiry counseljulian blake, "were you too close to the post office?" he rejected that idea. put simply, the victims who are here today, the victims who are watching at home, have been visibly angered and shocked by what they've heard at the inquiry today. as moshiri there at the inquiry. in a lovely day in most parts of the country today, with all the details you need to know, here is sarah. hello. friday's weather brought us an east—west split across the uk. we had quite a lot of cloud for many western areas, some patchy outbreaks of rain. this was the picture in argyll and bute a little bit earlier on, but a really different picture for many central and eastern areas. some spells of blue sky and warm sunshine, as you can see from the scene in whitby a little earlier on. now through the weekend, a bit more of this. we have still got some warm sunshine to come. there will be a little bit of rain in the forecast at times. i think we won't all see it, but a slightly mixed picture over the next couple of days. through the course of this evening and tonight, we've got this cloud and patchy rain moving from west to east, so a bit of a damp start to saturday morning across central and eastern parts of england in particular. clearer skies, though, reappearing from the west. so it's here that temperatures will just about dip into single figures. but a mild night in the east, 13—14 degrees to kick off your weekend. but we do start with that low cloud and drizzly light rain in the east. it should tend to break up and brighten up through the day, and actually for much of the uk, then, we're looking at spells of sunshine. so a brighter day for scotland, northern ireland and wales, the south—west of england, too, but a bit more cloud just creeping into the far north—west by the end of the afternoon. so temperatures in stornoway for instance, just 15 degrees, but for the bulk of the uk, 18—22. so a touch cooler and fresher than it was on friday. but if you suffer from hay fever, you might want to look away now. very high levels of pollen really almost across the map, just low or moderate across the north of scotland. so as we move through into the second half of the weekend, now, we've still got those high pollen levels. we've also got high pressure that's squeezing away most of those weather fronts. the remnants of a frontal system still bringing a bit more cloud to parts of northern england, wales, down towards the south—west on sunday, but that should break up through the day. either side of that, some longer spells of sunshine, and i think it'll feel a bit warmer than saturday and a bit more humid, especially towards the south—east, with a change in wind direction. 24—25 degrees for london, the south—east as well, but we're looking at more widely temperatures in the high teens or low 205. by the time we get to monday, again a bit more cloud drifting into the north—west of the uk. so some areas of cloud around, not wall—to—wall sunshine, but some spells of warm june sunshine and temperatures up to about 27, possibly 28 degrees. so some warm weather on the cards over the next couple of days. looks like things turn a little bit more unsettled and a touch cooler initially in the north—west, and then spreading a bit further east through the second half of this coming week. bye— bye. today at six: sacked for gross misconduct — a police chief who lied about his career and achievements. nick adderley has lost his job as chief constable of northamptonshire after lying about his naval rank when he applied for the post. a search is continuing in tenerife for the british teenagerjay slater, who hasn't been heard from since monday. cyber criminals have published sensitive patient information stolen from an nhs blood testing company. also in the programme: we are live in the historic industrial town of greenock, on the banks of the river clyde. we'll be looking at the election battlegrounds and issues here in scotland. and from the west to the east, i'm in prestonpans and east lothian, looking at the tussle between the scottish national party and labour. we hear from voters in the scottish highlands about what matters to them. come on! good luck, scotland. good luck, boys. come on! and the euro fever grabbing hearts and minds in scotland. and on sportsday later in the hour on bbc news, we'll have more from the european championship in germany, as ukraine keep their hopes alive in the tournament.
