around 12 people working in westminster — including mps and journalists — are believed to have been targeted in a so—called honeytrap scandal. they have each received unsolicited whatsapp messages from suspicous mobile numbers. our political correspondent hannah miller reports from westminster. a romance scam targeting some of the most powerful people in the country, in the form of lurid messages which for one former mp began last month from a person going by the name of charlie. "long time, no speak", charlie said. "miss you in westminster." the former mp told me, "it seemed so realistic". the last part of that message was "westminster misses you", and that was basically something friends would say anyway to make me feel better. i was embarrassed, thinking i'm

speaking to someone who knows who i am, and i'm trying desperately not to come across as rude. the messages continue... the former mp then replies, asking who it is he's talking to. charlie falsely says he used to work in the office of another mp. he later sends a sexually explicit image, and the former mp blocks the number. the questions now are how widespread this is, who is behind it and whether the attackers got hold of any useful information. we've seen another series of messages sent to a political journalist from the same number and following a similar pattern. according to the website politico, which first reported the claims, at least 12 people with connections to westminster have been targeted. this wasn'tjust, as i'd thought, someone being stupid and doing something that they'd regret the next day. maybe this is something more sinister than that, potentially malicious. we tried to call the number associated with the messages,

but nobody picked up. a parliamentary spokesperson said they take cybersecurity extremely seriously and have asked anyone affected to contact their security team. hannah miller, bbc news. nato foreign ministers have been meeting in brussels. what next with ukraine, top of the agenda, also look back at decades of history. ceremony nato is 75 years old. native is the group of countries together that form a defensive alliance. to celebrate, during the ceremony today, a band was playing the nato him. hymn plays there you go — nato has a hymn. the secretary general jens stoltenberg called nato the world's most powerful

and successful military alliance. but now it's being tested. he said nato was "not party to the conflict" in ukraine. but it was providing support. he talked about what form that support would and wouldn't be. we don't have any plans of having any nato combat troops inside ukraine. there have been no requests for that. ukraine. there have been no requests forthat. but ukraine. there have been no requests for that. but the ukrainians are asking for equipment, for ammunition, for weapons, and we are providing that to ukraine. that doesn't make nato allies party to the conflict, but we support ukraine. support for ukraine, note nato boots on the ground. pressure is so on to provide other forms of support —— no nato boots. particularly on the united states, a $60 billion for aid package for ukraine remains stalled in congress. foreign secretary david cameron is due to visit the us next week. this morning, he spoke to bbc�*s ukrainecast —

he too said no nato boots on the ground, but he had this message for washington. britain has done its bid for this year. the european union has put forward its money for this year. we really need that us up a mental which i think could be one of the things that we are talking about the narrative, about how these things have a narrative arc. was looking like great ukrainian success, outlooks like rush is doing better on land, i think one of the things that could change the narrative again is that american money coming through, and then put in seeing, i can't out wait these guys, i can't outlast them. they are going to have the firepower, the money, the support, and then you about the prospect of further ukrainian success and, crucially, a just piece. let's bring in the panel again, journalist and authorjenny kleeman and republican strategist bryan lanza. great to see you both. jenny, let's come to you there in the lord

cameron, david cameron, uk foreign secretary, underlining pretty solid support for ukraine from the uk. yes, absolutely. the uk has been quite consistent, from the time of the outbreak of the war, even before, but borisjohnson and every prime minister subsequently being steadfast in their support for ukraine, and the idea of nato boots on the ground comes from a comment emmanuel macron has made, but no other nato member has been pushing for this. we know what the stakes are. nato is fundamental in keeping russia at bay in ukraine and it is of course critical that america, the funding for ukraine is not, does not continue to be stalled, but the rest of nato is steadfast and in its support for ukraine. all the other foreign ministers today reiterating that. mil foreign ministers today reiterating that. �* , , ,

in the us last year. google says the uk experiment will involve a "small slice" of uk search traffic, selected from logged—in users. google is the most popular search engine, but its rival bing already integrates its "copilot" ai. some publishers worry ai answers may reduce visits to their sites. bring the panel back in. jenny, this tech coming to the uk. are you welcoming it or are you suspicious of it or critical? what your take? i think this is a disaster, i have to say. it means people using the search engine will not know the source for their answer. at the moment you click on a link, you can see where that link comes from. that helps you find out whether or not it is good information, the answer you're getting, and it sort of jackpot responses not tell you what the source is, and that is not a good thing. it is particular not good thing. it is particular not good if you think about kids using the internet, or they really need to learn how to differentiate good information from bad information. if you want to get an answer from a chabad, there are many chat but you can ask. google is concerned that it

on his 100th birthday, ronald brignall is finally being honoured. honoured not for his age, but for an heroic act performed 83 years ago. during the second world war, uk cities did their best to protect themselves, but cardiff wasn't alone in taking heavy damage. praise and thanks were given to all of those involved in the effort, with today's birthday boy playing a vital role in saving this particular building in the welsh capital. it was in 1941 that a 16—year—old ronald brignall was walking home from college when he spotted an incendiary bomb land on the roof of city hall. they're designed to start fires. he then took it upon himself to climb on the drainpipes of this building twice to help extinguish the flames. firstly with a hose pipe between his hand in his mouth, and secondly with a sandbag. the local paper described a local lad who was daunted by nothing, acting with daring and courage. there we are. ronald's family were present as he received a special certificate today for his efforts

from the lord mayor of cardiff. # happy birthday to you... # a celebration for a centurion, for a courageous act performed in the most testing of times. tomos morgan, bbc news. yeah, happy birthday, ronald! that is it from me. thank you very much for your company. is it from me. thank you very much foryour company. i'm is it from me. thank you very much for your company. i'm lewis vaughan jones. this is bbc news. bye—bye. have though from the bbc sport centre. i'm tulsen tollett. liverpool have moved back to the top of the premier league after beating sheffield united 3—1 at anfield. it looked like it would be a comfortable victory for liverpool after ivo grbic�*s mistake saw darwin nunez claim his eleventh league goal of the season. but the blades battled back and forced conor bradley into conceding an own goal early in the second half. despite dominating possession,

liverpool fans might have been feeling worried until alexis mac allister restored the lead in dramatic fashion. and cody gakpo secured the victory in the 90th minute. their two—point lead over arsenal has been restored, while sheffield united remain rooted to the bottom of the table. around 20 minutes left in chelsea's thrilling game with manchester united at stamford bridge. united came from 2—0 down and lead 3—2 thanks to a garnacho goal in the 67th minute. around 15 left in that one. the saudi arabian capital of riyadh will host the wta finals for the next three years and offer record prize money of $15.25 million. this year's finals, featuring the top eight singles players and doubles teams of the year, will take place in november. saudi arabia has been accused of using events to "sportswash" its reputation amid accusations of violating human rights and restricting women's lives and freedom of speech.

leigh leopards�* superleague clash with wigan warriors has finished. wigan are back at the top of the table, having just won by 40—12, harry smith going over just before the break. leigh, despite sticking to the task, will remain fourth from bottom. several riders were taken to hospital after a serious crash on the fourth stage of the tour of the basque country. racing was suspended while medical teams attended to the injured. the race will continue with stage five tomorrow but without some big names, as nick parrott reports. the tour of the basque country was first held in 1921! — it's unlikely to have witnessed anything like this before. crashes are an occupational hazard, but ones this bad are rare. three of the riders expected to compete for this year's tour de france title were all caught up in it. 12 riders in total were involved, some badly hurt after hitting the concrete ditch by the side of the road.

another victory overnight sealed the one day series and their sixth win out of seven was comprehensive too, by 56 runs. alex fletcher has more. arriving in hamilton with a spring in their step, england looking to seal the series. tammy beaumont had failed to score a run in wellington, but the boot was on the other foot here. early reminders of her capabilities. going on to top score with 81, all smiles in the middle, but the breakthrough was on its way. that was not a good shot. she will not look back fondly on that. england's innings now finely poised, and once again, they turned to amyjones. whilst the wickets fell around her, she maintained composure to help england to a respectable 252. suzie bates had caused problems in the first one—dayer, so there was relief all around when alice capsey claimed her. that was followed by a half—century from brooke halliday as the hosts looked to keep themselves in it. but when she fell, england's attack proved too strong.

a win by 56 runs and a series clean sweep remains firmly in their hands. alex fletcher, bbc news. just to recap our top story, liverpool have moved back to the summit of the premier league after a 3-1 summit of the premier league after a 3—1win over sheffield united at anfield. manchester united lead at stamford bridge against chelsea by 3-2, stamford bridge against chelsea by 3—2, having been two goals down. there are around 11 minutes plus stoppage time remaining in that one. the bbc sport website for everything. until next time, bye—bye. hello there. although it's been a pretty unsettled week, things are expected to ramp up further as we head into the weekend. we've got a named storm on the way to bring widespread gales. now, this area of low pressure's going to bring us a breezy, wet night across the board. outbreaks of rain, some of it heavy at times in the north and the west, will push northwards. as it pushes into the cold air across scotland, it's going to turn to sleet and snow, certainly snow over the high ground,

even some sleet perhaps down to lower levels for a time. so quite a temperature contrast from north to south. very mild in the south, cold in the north. but it could be fairly disruptive over the high routes, for example the a9, for friday morning. this snowfall likely to accumulate for a time as it continues to move its way northwards. further south, any rain clears away from england and wales, and then it's sunshine and blustery showers. most of the showers will be in the north and the west. the odd heavier one for england and wales, and it stays windy for all. it also improves a little bit across scotland, stays on the cool side, not quite as chilly as recent days. further south, 15—17 or 18 celsius. now into the weekend, we see a new area of low pressure move in, a very deep feature. the irish met service, met eireann, have named this storm kathleen, because we'll see the biggest impacts with the winds across the republic of ireland. but widespread gales across the country, especially around irish sea coasts. it's going to scoop up some very warm air across the whole country.

so early rain clears from scotland, the mild air will be as far north as the northern isles on saturday. blustery day for all areas. a lot of sunshine around, mind you, across eastern areas. it may stay dry altogether with only a few showers further west. but gusts could be up to 60, maybe 70 mph across this north—west corner. 30, 40, maybe 50 inland. and we could see temperatures up to 20—21 degrees, so warm and windy for saturday for most of us. as we head into sunday, storm kathleen passes to the north—west of the uk. again, another very windy day to come with gales in the north—west of the country. more showers around, we think some of them could be heavy. best of the sunshine towards the east, and it won't be quite as warm as saturday. temperatures reaching highs of around 17 degrees across the south—east. so that's the weekend out of the way. into the new, upcoming week, it stays relatively unsettled. in fact, on the mild side, but by the end of the week, we could start to see something more settled across the south.

tonight at ten — the us issues its strongest public rebuke to israel since the start of the war in gaza. after seven aid workers were killed in an israeli strike, president biden told israel's prime minister there are limits to us support. we'll be live in washington and injerusalem with our correspondents' assessment of this much tougher tone from israel's staunchest ally. the intimate whatsapp messages sent to politicians and others in westminster — an mp reportedly admits

good evening. in a notable hardening of tone, president biden has told
