good evening. we start tonight with the escalating legal battle between rishi sunak s government and the independent public inquiry, into the handling of the covid pandemic. government officials in the cabinet office missed a deadline, earlier today, to hand over all of boris johnson s private messages and papers, to the inquiry. what s more, the government is now launching a legal challenge, arguing that some of the material is not relevant to the inquiry s work. the chair of the inquiry, baroness hallett, a formerjudge at the court of appeal, says it s for the inquiry to decide what is or is not relevant. and she s hinted that the inquiry could launch its own legal action against the government. labour has accused the government of undermining the work of the inquiry, as our political correspondent alex forsyth reports. the covid pandemic had a huge and lasting impact. now a public inquiry is examining what happened, the decisions taken in government that affected so many l
there remain questions tonight about how a 12 year old girl and a 17 year old boy came to lose their lives after being pulled out of the sea off the coast of bournemouth yesterday. police have ruled out suggestions that they were hit by a vessel or that anyone was jumping from the pier. eight other people were treated on the beach for non life threatening injuries. a man in his 40s has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter. duncan kennedyjoins us from bournemouth. duncan. there is a real sense of disbelief here about how a group of people playing in the sea can somehow get caught up in a tragedy like this. the police are not saying exactly what happened but they ruled out some things, like this group being hit by a jet ski or becoming injured byjumping off the pier here. whatever has gone on here, it has left two families grieving. for several hours, this part of bournemouth beach was transformed into a major incident. the sand was cleared of the public to allow in hel
