the uk's biggest ever health scandal — billions of pounds of compensation expected for the thousands of people infected with contaminated blood. who'll come out on top — arsenal or manchester city — on the final day of the premier league season? and — auf wiedersehenjurgen — — there'll be an emotional farewell at anfield forjurgen klopp. hello. we start this hour with some breaking news out of iran. state television says there's been an accident involving a helicopter that might have been carrying president raisi. with me is sebastian usher, our bbc world service middle east analyst. this means only just this means onlyjust coming into us. what do we know?—

what do we know? welcome away caettin what do we know? welcome away getting information _ what do we know? welcome away getting information from - what do we know? welcome away getting information from various l getting information from various iranians sources and other news agencies that provide pretty good understanding of what happens in iran but isn't necessarily full confirmation. so what we've heard is the president ebrahim raisi was travelling in a convoy and we here this from at least one iranian source of three helicopters over east azerbaijan and that one helicopter had to make what was described as a rough, hard landing. that helicopter has emerged over the past half an hour or so and it seems almost certainly to have had president vasey on board, not only president vasey on board, not only president raisi but also the reigning foreign minister on board. this is an area where is mountainous, it's wooded and we are hearing from these sources that there is a particularly bad weather conditions there but it is foggy and major rescue operation is under way as you could expect but at the moment there is no clarity about what happened to these two

helicopters on this one iranian source expected to arrive safely at their destination so there is a visually huge speculation going on and as far as i can see at the moment, there is emerging official confirmation that president raisi was on board that helicopter but what has happened to that helicopter and what state it is then we don't know as yet. and what state it is then we don't know as yet-— and what state it is then we don't know as yet. and would it be usual for president _ know as yet. and would it be usual for president vasey _ know as yet. and would it be usual for president vasey to _ know as yet. and would it be usual for president vasey to be - know as yet. and would it be usual for president vasey to be using - for president vasey to be using helicopters to travel around? i mean, he is a president. he does travel widely. it is not something thatis travel widely. it is not something that is unusual for him to be making. there is no kind of issue of him being able to travel in any sense. if that was supreme leader ayatollah khamenei it would be a different case but the president is very much the outward —looking face of the reigning government so he is often travelling to difficult locations around the world, whether by helicopter or by plane. so that

in itself is not unusual. that ou've in itself is not unusual. that you've much _ in itself is not unusual. that you've much and _ in itself is not unusual. that you've much and there - in itself is not unusual. that you've much and there are i in itself is not unusual. that you've much and there are any developers will bring a breaking story on bbc news and you can get more on the bbc news website or app. next... it's considered to be the worst treatment disaster in the history of the health service here in the uk. tomorrow the final report into the infected blood scandal will be published. it comes amid speculation that the government is setting aside £10 billion to compensate victims and theirfamilies. more than 30—thousand people were given infected blood products by the nhs decades ago. around 3,000 died as a result — mainly from hepatitis c and hiv. today government minister grant shapps, speaking on the bbc�*s laura kuenssberg programme, wouldn't confirm the size of the compensation fund, but called the situation �*heartbreaking'. here's our health editor hugh pym. leading politicians on the bbc this morning made clear that the infected blood scandal and the inquiry report out tomorrow were above party politics, with failings over decades by different governments.

the idea it has taken all of this time to get the truth, i think it is heartbreaking. i haven't seen the report yet, the government has already said it will want to respond quickly to it. it looks like the government is going to do the right thing, and they will have our whole—hearted support in that, and we will make sure that victims have the certainty of knowing that if there is a change of government later this year, a labour government will honour that commitment. the chancellor, jeremy hunt, told the sunday times that families had every right to be incredibly angry that politicians hadn't acted fast enough. it is reported he is preparing a compensation package of around £10 billion. the inquiry report will examine why blood for transfusions and products for other conditions were given to patients even after warnings they were infected with hiv and hepatitis c.

home testing kits for hep c are available, but bbc news analysis found that more than 1,700 patients have the virus because of treatment decades ago, and still don't know it. demand for hepatitis c test kits online in england has soared since our story ran. more than 12,800 kits were ordered between thursday may 9th and friday may 17th. that compares with 2,300 for the whole of april. helplines have also be very busy. i think the huge increase in call numbers that we have seen at the hepatitis c trust clearly demonstrates that a lot more people are for the first time are aware about infected blood within the nhs blood supply. another key issue for the inquiry was the use of products for haemophiliacs contaminated with viruses, made from blood obtained from paid donors, including prisoners in the us. the inquiry chair, sir brian langstaff, has already said wrongs were done at individual and systematic levels. hugh pym, bbc news. and a reminder we will have full coverage of the infected blood

scandal inquiry conclusion tomorrow here on the bbc news, you will be able follow it live on the bbc news website and app and also on bbc iplayer. a 14—year—old boy has died and a 13—year—old boy is in a critical condition after getting into difficulty in the river tyne in northumberland on saturday. the boys went into the water near to 0vingham bridge yesterday afternoon and multiple emergency service crews were deployed to the scene. police have described the incident as "absolutely tragic". the parents of both boys are being supported by specially—trained officers. 0ur reporter andy gill in 0vingham gave us the latest. well, the two boys went into the river at a spot a couple of hundred yards downstream from here. there's a rope swing over the river and its popular with young people. when they got into difficulties, in major search and rescue operation was mounted involving the police, the fire brigade and the air ambulance was involved

mountain rescue as well. a 13—year—old boy was rescued alive from the river, taken to hospital, but he's in a critical condition. and the air ambulance was involved, mountain rescue as well. a 13—year—old boy was rescued alive from the river, taken to hospital, but he's in a critical condition. however, a 14—year—old boy was pulled out of the river and he was declared dead at the scene. this is a popular spot with young people. there's a station nearby. it's very easy to get to from the major cities of newcastle. two years ago, another 13—year—old boy called robert hattersley also drowned on this stretch of the river tyne. there's actually a photograph of him attached to a rock here by way of a memorial. last year the northumberland fire and rescue service were critical of a group of local youths who apparently ignored warnings to come out of the river despite the dangers. we've also been speaking to a local councillor here from northumberland county council. she herself nearly drowned when she was a teenager in the river tyne,

and since the death of the 13—year—old two years ago, she's been trying to get education about the dangers of water improved in local schools — education about the fact that there are currents, there are rocks underneath, that phenomenon called cold water shock where your limbs can seize up if you go into cold water. she is also trying to get more physical safety along the river here. there are life belts up on the path above the river because it does tend to flood, but she wants some devices called throwbags, which is basically a load of rope in a bag and you throw it in and the person, you hope, gets hold of it. that was two years ago, that that drowning happened. they're still campaigning for water safety here in this latest incident. we haven't yet got the names or the identities of the boy who died or the boy who was injured. as you say, their families are being supported by specialist police officers.

next, the latest on the israel gaza war. president biden's national security adviser has been holding talks with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. their meeting is the latest us initiative to try and halt the fighting in gaza after the failure of negotiations involving israel and hamas. earlier, jake sullivan held talks with saudi arabia's crown prince in the saudi city of dhahran. in the latest violence, at least 28 palestinians are reported to have been killed — most of them in a strike on a house in nuseirat in the central gaza strip. there are signs of splits in israel, benny gantz, a member of the war they military operation around raffle will remain limited in order to limit the fact palestinian lives. and in the military operation has been intensifying over the past two weeks now and that has put nearly 800,000 palestinians back on the

move in search of safety. us has threatened israel but if it conducts an all—out assault on rafah it will cease certain weapons sit down like shipments to israel. jake sullivan will be seeking assurance on that, trying to make sure that more aid connected to the palestinians and bringing this question of what will happen and gaza in the fighting finally ends. benjamin netanyahu has faced that question repeatedly and has been growing questioning division over what could happen and militarists strategy of what comes out for the people of gaza and benjamin netanyahu has so far failed to indicate that question so i think this is the united states and others upping the pressure now, laying that demand that has come also from politicians at the top of israeli politics and is quite widespread amongst these early population as well. what is this military campaign supposed to achieve? at hamas illicitly to be eradicated? will hostages be brought home safely? for

the people of gaza, how will they be governed, how will they be rebuilt, how will they be coordination to lay down some sort of structure for the effusion gaza? fin down some sort of structure for the effusion gaza?— effusion gaza? on that, it is interesting _ effusion gaza? on that, it is interesting that _ effusion gaza? on that, it is interesting that mr - effusion gaza? on that, it is interesting that mr sullivan | effusion gaza? on that, it is - interesting that mr sullivan comes to israel after a meeting with the saudi crown prince and he and saudi could be quite key with the arab world? ~ , , , ~ world? absolutely, yes. saudi arabia kee an world? absolutely, yes. saudi arabia keep an eye — world? absolutely, yes. saudi arabia keep an eye for— world? absolutely, yes. saudi arabia keep an eye for the _ world? absolutely, yes. saudi arabia keep an eye for the united _ world? absolutely, yes. saudi arabia keep an eye for the united states - world? absolutely, yes. saudi arabia keep an eye for the united states in | keep an eye for the united states in wider security matters and that was first and foremost the intention of this visit and meeting in saudi arabia but we also understand that jake sullivan has been discussing the possibility of an arab coalition, of which the saudis would probably be the biggest and leading members. some sort of organisation alliance of arab states with other international organisations backed by the united states and european countries which could leave that feature for gaza. benjamin netanyahu's not been drawn on that

question. the only thing that he said as he rules out working at the palestinian authority which represents palestinians and governs the west bank. he believes they are in alignment with hamas, supporters of terrorists, and that's why he said they are not fit to govern gaza. mr netanyahu will be drawn on who is what shake that should take but, in the meantime, it seems united states is taking the opportunity of talking to the saudis and to others about what could be put in place if and when fighting ends. �* g ., ends. and johnson reporting there from jerusalem. _ to the democratic republic of congo next. the army there says it's foiled an attempted coup in the capital kinshasa. speaking on state television, brigadier general sylvain ekenge said the situation was now under control and the attackers were "out of action". translation: the armed forces of the democratic republic - of the congo bring to the attention of the national and international public that an attempted coup d'etat was nipped in the bud by the defence and security forces. this attempt involved

foreigners and congolese. these foreigners and congolese were stopped, including their leader. the armed forces of the drc asked the population to go about their business freely and peacefully. the defence and the security forces are in complete control of the situation. will it be manchester city or arsenal? 0lly foster, i will put you on the spot. it was going to be? i olly foster, i will put you on the spot. it was going to be? i couldn't ossibl spot. it was going to be? i couldn't possibly comment. _ spot. it was going to be? i couldn't possibly comment. not _ spot. it was going to be? i couldn't possibly comment. not long - spot. it was going to be? i couldn't possibly comment. not long to - spot. it was going to be? i couldn't| possibly comment. not long to find out now because on the final day of the premier league season we are about 45 minutes away, ten matches kicking off at our focus quite rightly is going to end yet had stayed on when manchester city are facing west ham. can go to our correspondentjust at facing west ham. can go to our correspondent just at the moment. team news for west ham could favour manchester city. there are rumours

that the hammers have had a bit of a bookin that the hammers have had a bit of a book in the camp. arsenal, well, they have to win to become champions —— there are rumours that the hammers have had a bit of a bug in the camp. let's go live to the emirates stadium wherejoe wilson should be. team news is in. arsenal know what they have to do, joe? arsenal know what they have to do, joe? , , ., , joe? lets be honest, ollie. if there is auoin joe? lets be honest, ollie. if there is going to — joe? lets be honest, ollie. if there is going to be _ joe? lets be honest, ollie. if there is going to be a _ joe? lets be honest, ollie. if there is going to be a very _ joe? lets be honest, ollie. if there is going to be a very dramatic- joe? lets be honest, ollie. if there is going to be a very dramatic day l is going to be a very dramatic day here, if we are going to get twists and turns on this to be an unforgettable last day of the premier league season it will rely on man city at least drawing against west ham and then that opens the door for west ham and then that opens the doorfor arsenal against west ham and then that opens the door for arsenal against everton. west ham and then that opens the doorfor arsenal against everton. i have been speaking to some supporters around underground and amazing where they've come from. i met a guy who had never been from the premier league match before coming from an atlanta, georgia and whole family of resilience told me they are inspired by the way arsenal are playing right now. arsenal have to take care of their own business

in this match against everton. they have to win and hope the best. in terms of their team, get by and large you would say the team here today reflects the way atlanta done at the season. remember that stadia perform over december people were saying come on community to strike and a centre forward. the two strikers he has at his disposal on the bench but looking at the arsenal team, saka obviously a top scorer for arsenal this season and they pick someone can need weak and it looks like that has been too much for him to recover from and arsenal will try and win and expect to win and of course they will have more than half an eye on what happens between manchester city and west ham. he quite the best dressed man in north london, many thanks indeed. enjoy meta had it is in city's plans. what team has pep gone with the what could be a yes, indeed,

strongly. tottenham need a draw and sheffield united would take fifth and i would see them go to the europa league and luton are mathematically down. they need a miracle, they got to beat fulham by a whopping score and hope the nottingham forest lose by a similar margin at burnley. very, very unlikely. you can follow this on the bbc sport website, of course, but for me, for now, that's it from the bbc sport centre. thanks, 0lly studio: if you're just joining you'rejustjoining as i won't you're justjoining as i won't give you're justjoining as i won't give you a reminder that they news this hour, reports from iran say it helicopter in a convoy carrying president raisi has been involved in an accident. it is currently unclear whether the president was on board the helicopter that state media say experienced what they are describing as a hard landing. you can see here we have recent live pictures of the

president. now, state television also says rescuers are trying to reach the aircraft, which reportedly got into difficulties in heavy fog in the north of the country. now, details of what exactly happened still remain unclear and i should stress that there has been no official confirmation about mr vasey�*s whereabouts at the moment. what we do know is that a helicopter was one of three travelling in a convoy and state media say that iran's foreign minister was travelling with mr raisi in this estate television you are saying at the moment. according to local media, the president was heading to a city in the north—west of iran after he returned from the border with azerbaijan, where he had been opening to dance. see the breaking

news we have is that helicopter was in a convoy carrying the iranian president has been involved in this accident —— he was on his way to open to dams. at the moment it is currently unclear whether the president was on board the helicopter state media said had a hard landing. interior minister did say rescuers were still trying to reach the site, that due to the bad weather conditions that have been there. there's been a lot of fog so difficulties actually getting to the area. we do understand that president raisi was returning from the border with azerbaijan, where he had opened two dams. three helicopters were part of this convoy and we know one of them had what

state television called a hard landing. but we still don't know for sure is whether the president, president of him vasey, was on board that helicopter had landing —— president ebrahim raisi. as you say, heavy rain and fog has made the rescue difficult. we also understand that the foreign minister was travelling with the president. as i say, at the moment, we'd still don't have any official confirmation as to whether the president was actually on—board the helicopter that had the accident or what state tv is calling the landing. this is a developing story and, of course, our teams are trying to get more information out of iran and the same as we get that we will bring you more and i should also say that there is a story up now on the bbc news website or app which we will be updating as well

and, of course, if we have any further developments, we will bring them to you here on bbc news. going to turn our attention to some of the other day's knees and would you be a politician... would you be a politician — with all the pressure not only of the job but also social media. well, mps have been speaking out about the toll the job takes on their mental health, warning that the current situation is driving some to quit politics. labour mp kim leadbeater — whose sisterjo was murdered in 2016 — said the "extremely stressful" nature of the role had resulted in "good people leaving public life." the conservative elliot colburn said that mps were not seen "on a human level" or as having the same set of emotions as other people. let's have a listen to a clip from an emotional speech he made in the house of commons back in february. in recent years, something like 6500

people die in the uk each year due to suicide and in 2021! was merely one of them. luckily, my attempt failed. i was found by family members quickly. i received amazing care at st helier and springfield's hospitals, didn't do any permanent damage and was well looked after by the nhs in the months that followed. i want to take the chance to say thank you to everyone who saved me and sorry to my family and loved ones were put to such an awful ordeal. in that moment, ifelt ones were put to such an awful ordeal. in that moment, i felt alone and scared and like there was no way out and that the world would be better off without me in it. but i don't recognise that men any more. hear, hear! i don't recognise that men any more. hear. hear!— hear, hear! i know that nothing is ever really — hear, hear! i know that nothing is ever really worth _ hear, hear! i know that nothing is ever really worth that. _ hear, hear! i know that nothing is ever really worth that. the - hear, hear! i know that nothing is ever really worth that. the help . ever really worth that. the help really is out there. i'm pretty awesome. does the prime minister agree that one death by suicide is one too many and will he send a message from the dispatch box today

that whatever you going through, you are not alone and help is out there and better days lie ahead.- and better days lie ahead. hear, hear! a very emotional statement and i'm pleased _ a very emotional statement and i'm pleased to _ a very emotional statement and i'm pleased to see that elliot coburn 'oins pleased to see that elliot coburn joins we — pleased to see that elliot coburn joins we live in the programme now. ——and elliot colburnjoins me now. thanks for having me. it was a combination of a few things. that the course of my work and eat lots of constituents going through difficult situations and mental health was something coming up again and again in the conversations i was having and i felt as if now... i felt much better place and this could be a good opportunity for me to use my platform to raise better awareness of the fact that people do go through this. no matter who they are and what they're doing, and try to be in the light of that situation and see what we can do to try and improve that. and see what we can do to try and improve that-—

improve that. you spoke to radio four unbroken _ improve that. you spoke to radio four unbroken politicians - improve that. you spoke to radio four unbroken politicians and - improve that. you spoke to radio - four unbroken politicians and broken politics. how bad at the moment is it for politicians? i politics. how bad at the moment is it for politicians?— it for politicians? i think it is fairly bad — it for politicians? i think it is fairly bad and _ it for politicians? i think it is fairly bad and i _ it for politicians? i think it is fairly bad and i put - it for politicians? i think it is fairly bad and i put the - it for politicians? i think it is i fairly bad and i put the majority it for politicians? i think it is - fairly bad and i put the majority of the blame on social media for that, to be brutally honest with you. we are seeing huge numbers of really good colleagues deciding to step down at the selection from all political parties but i've also had conversations with people who were interested in becoming candidates for the conservative party, i know that labour colleagues have had the same thing from their end, who are now turning away. they've seen what the environment is like and they don't want to do it any more. i’m don't want to do it any more. i'm 'ust don't want to do it any more. i'm just going _ don't want to do it any more. i'm just going to _ don't want to do it any more. i'm just going to say goodbye to my views on the world. and i'm going to cabin with you. sorry about that. we just have to let our viewers around the world go. you mention social media. is it possible to ignore what is on social media is a politician? people say, well, you can turn it off and switch it off in app on your phone. i5 off and switch it off in app on your hone. , ., ., , . .,
