i m @annitabbc or you can use the hashtag #bbcyourquestions. borisjohnson s standards adviser says there is a legitimate question over whether the british pm broke the ministerial code after getting fined for partygate. but his colleagues still insist he won t need to resign. these are significant issues but we have had range of accountability and transparency around it. i don t think this ends in a leadership challenge. tech firms are urged to do more to make it safer for women and girls to be online. from fine china to fish and chips we go on a whistle stop tour to see what merchandise has been created hello and welcome, if you re watching in the uk or around the world. within the past 2a hours, both the us and germany have announced that they re to send new weapons systems to ukraine. germany has this morning promised kyiv an air defence system the iris t system which chancellor olaf scholz says will enable ukraine to defend an entire city against russian air attac

i was interested unhow i think this does a couple things. one is it s part of building a case for obstruction of justice. firing comey by itself was sufficient arguably to build an obstruction of justice case. you need to establish quote corrupt intent. you can can only get in the mind of trump through a couple things. it helps that he told comey i was thinking about the russia investigation. h he tells lavrov in the oval office. but a prosecutor is going to want to go backward and say this is part of a pattern. so even if this is the firing itself, previous meetings and contacts between the president the person he fired, leading up to the firing end up being legally important because they
