Heading into the weekend well bring you the latest on day two of the masters golf at augusta national. Good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. Police are investigating claims labours deputy leader, Angela Rayner, may have broken electoral law over information she gave about where she was living 10 years ago. It follows a complaint by a Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party over whether or not she paid the correct level of tax on the sale of her Council House in 2015. She strongly denies shes done anything wrong. In the last few minutes a criminal offence she would do the right thing and step down. She has said that if she has committed a criminal offence. A standout campaigner, with a striking personal history. Angela rayner, one of labours boost well known figures, now under Police Investigation as to whether she broke electoral law by giving false information about where she used to live. The Inquiry Centres here, Vicarage Road in stockport, where Angela Rayner bought a property in 2007, eight years before she became an mp. In 2010, she married mark rayner, who owned his own home about two miles away, and appears to have registered a child at his address. But, on the electoral register, she continued to be listed as living at hers, creating confusion as to where she legally lived. The law says that a married couple who each have their own property can only choose one to be their main home at any one time. As well as facing an investigation about whether she really lived here on Vicarage Road, Angela Rayner continues to face questions about whether she should have paid Capital Gains tax when she sold her house just before she became an mp. The amounts of money at stake are relatively small. Tax experts have estimated up to £3500. But the conservatives are pursuing this because they think that the political cost to labour could be much more significant. Angela rayner has always said she has done nothing wrong and will hand over any information she is asked for. The Labour Leader continues to stand by her. We welcome this investigation because it will allow a line to be drawn in relation to this matter. I am fully confident that Angela Rayner has not broken the rules. She will cooperate with the investigation as you would expect, and it is really a matter for the police. Greater Manchester Police confirmed that the complaint had originally come from a conservative mp, and the party is digging in. I think the double standards have been extraordinary. Angela rayner herself has spent her political Career Calling people out for exactly the thing that she seems to be doing now. It is not acceptable to ignore it. Angela rayner has previously described of her life as difficult and said there was never any question of deceit. As a woman at the heart of labours general election hopes, this is one campaign she is prepared to tough out. In the last few minutes Angela Rayner has released a statement saying she makes no apologies for having held conservative ministers to account over some other issues in the past. She emphasises that she sees this as a political attack of the kind that we have seen the poor. She says the conservative Party Reporting political opponents to the police during election campaigns to distract from their record. At the very least, the story is inconvenient for labour because here we are talking about it on a day when they wanted to be talking instead about their policies around defence. I think the mood in the party is reasonably confident tonight, that this will be the beginning of the end of a story that has rambled on and on. The conservatives, of course, hoping that it conservatives, of course, hoping thatitis conservatives, of course, hoping that it is the start of a much bigger problem. Hannah, thank you. The Public Inquiry into the post Office Horizon scandal has been hearing from two of the most senior managers in charge. Adam crozier was Chief Executive of royal mail, which at that time owned the post office. He said he wasnt aware of what he called the Tragic Situation facing Sub Postmasters. Earlier, the former managing director of the post office, alan cook, told the inquiry he didnt realise the post office itself had been bringing prosecutions against Sub Postmasters, hundreds of whom were wrongly accused of theft and fraud. Heres zoe conway. Adam crozier is one of the uks significant business figures, he was the Chief Executive of Advertising AgencySaatchi Saatchi before becoming the boss of the faa, from the outer royal mail, then itv, and now chairman of bt, but it is time at royal mail that is under scrutiny today.

This week we heard from the leader of the Sub Postmasters, alan bates. We also heard from several former senior managers including adam crozier and what has really come across is how little they seem to understand about the plight of the Sub Postmasters. There is so much that we still dont understand about how this scandal could possibly have happened. This winter has been one of the wettest on record in the uk. And water logged fields are causing all kinds of problems for britains farmers, whove been unable to plant crops and whose livestock have nowhere to graze. Now there are warnings that it could affect Food Production this year. Lucy vladev has been to a farm in studley in warwickshire. Its been a hard time for farmers. This field isnt going to have anything in it this year. There is no way you can get a crop in that. Weve been putting on little coats on some of the newborn lambs to help protect them from the rain. Most fields havent dried out since last year as the uk experienced its wettest 18 months on record. You really do question why you do it. Bizza walters is a young farmer in warwickshire. These guys will stay in here probably until the end of the month, normally, and then they will go out to the field, but its just too wet at the moment. Facing a year of failed crops and lambs stuck inside, her familys farm is suffering. Its just soul destroying when you are checking your livestock and you are picking up, quite frankly, dead lambs because theyve not made it through the night because its rained so much, or youve got crops that are sinking and they are rotting in the ground. You dojust think, why are we doing this . Its a similar picture at rachels farm here in north wales. Theres a good girl. Hey . How is your tummy . Are you nice and full . When you literally havent got anywhere for the animals to go, or youre really trying to shift them around the farm, it has a massive impact. The Mental Health burden is pretty colossal. And at this farm in gloucestershire, debbie wilkins� crops have been underwater for more than three months. It will have a financial implication, yes, definitely. And theres also the implications from actually when the floods were high and they knocked fences down. They destroyed crops that we are going to have to reseed. There is rubbish that im going to have to pick up on the fields. It comes as this week the government announced details of its Compensation Scheme forfarmers in england affected by flooding this winter, but unions warn the payments on offer are simply not enough, even after the government adjusted the criteria last night. We wont necessarily see shortages of food tomorrow, but next winter, the year after that, then we will see impacts, and thats what weve got to focus on. Thats what weve got to worry about. Ministers say they are looking to expand support for those worst affected. The need to get seeds in the soil, vital for us all. That soil health is really important, as you can see here, by the field is left barren and waterlogged by recent floods stop Climate Change is expected to bring even wetter weather. The met office is predicting that in the next 50 years, winters in the uk will be 30 wetter than they were 30 years ago, with more intense rainfall that that is of course a problem for farmers in places like this but also poses questions about how we all adapt. Sophie, thank you. That wet weather has also been affecting the uk economy. It grew by the smallest of margins in february, up byjust 0. 1 per cent. But it did grow, and thats being seen as another sign that the economy has been working its way out of recession. Heres dharshini david. One of the wettest Februaries On Record may have been a wash out for construction, but that can quickly bounce back, and the weather failed to dampen other bigger sectors. This producer of metal components managed to shake off earlier challenges as custom picked up. Overall for us, it was very successful, so we did see growth. We saw growth in a number of our key markets, and because we operate in so many markets globally, we are able to really balance out. When one areas performing very well, we are able to kind of pivot to that area, and when we see some markets that are not performing so well, we can kind of step back a little bit. So, a recovery across manufacturing and services such as transport more than compensated for a soggy performance on the high street and building sites, so that overall activity, gdp, rose by 0. 1 compared to january. Thats not sparkling. Nor was the growth of 0. 3 injanuary. But economists say that unless we had a disastrous march, say, output falling by more than 1 , these figures may be enough to say that last years recession is behind us. But after inflation and population growth, we may still be about £260 each worse off than two years ago. For our performance in recent years has been and remains lacklustre, growth a fraction of what it was on average prior to 2008s financial crisis. This used car dealer in crewe has noticed customers slipping into a more cautious gear. Theres not many people coming in now at all wanting to swap just for pleasure. They come in because they have to swap their car. So, for example, a failed mot, car crash, divorce, change ofjob, all those different reasons, but not for, oh, ijust fancy a change. Thatjust seems to be off the table at the moment. Many consumer facing Services Remain smaller than prior to the pandemic. They may get a boost if, as analysts expect, Interest Rates start to fall over the summer. But it may take more work to return to a more rewarding pace of growth and avoid being short changed. Dharshini david, bbc news. A coroner has ruled that the infamous Mass Shooting the minimum age limit for children using whatsapp has been lowered from 16 to 13. The technology company, meta, which owns it says its bringing the uk in line with the us and australia. But campaigners have called it a highly irresponsible approach to child safety. It comes as a bbc investigation has found that children as young as ten are being added to Whatsapp Groups containing inappropriate material. Heres martin lindsay. I noticed a real personality change in our 12 year old. After some coaxing, she told me shed been added to a Whatsapp Group. I immediately removed my child from the group and deleted it. This is one mums story, and a real feel for many parents. And a real fear for many parents. I was shocked to see inappropriate sexual images, racism and swearing among the messages. Weve got someone else to voice her words so we dont identify her or her child. Her daughter, who is 12, was added to this Whatsapp Group, and weve seen some of the content, which included sexual images, pictures of mutilated bodies, and racist comments. Screenshots weve seen showed it had more than 900 members, and it also meant childrens Phone Numbers were in the hands of strangers. She also told me a boy had called her as a result of getting her number from the group, and had invited his cousin to talk to her too. Thankfully, she was savvy enough to end the call and replied to their Text Messages saying she was not prepared to give them her surname or tell them where she went to school. Its an incredibly disturbing case to have heard about, and the fact that Primary School age children have been added to this group ,and seeing such dangerous content that they dont want to see and they dont want to be exposed to is incredibly upsetting. It comes as an urgent message was sent to parents from Tyneside Schools which warned of another Whatsapp Group encouraging self harm. It said 500 children had been added and it was targeting year 6 pupils, which is ten or 11 year olds. The question of who set up the group and for what purpose is now the subject of a Police Investigation. Meta, which owns whatsapp, says, we give all users options to control who can add them to groups, and the first time you receive a message from an unknown number, you can block or report it. I felt sick to my stomach. Shes only 12 and now im worried about her using her phone. I find it absolutely terrifying. Martin lindsay, bbc news, tyneside. The time is 6 17. Our top story this Evening Police have launched an investigation into claims that labours deputy leader, Angela Rayner, broke electoral law. And coming up a bbc investigation finds that children as youn
