The inquiry was established in 2021 but was only given statutory footing last year, which means it has legal powers to compel witnesses to give evidence.At a previous inquiry,

The Lampard Inquiry says that it is "not necessary to be a core participant to engage meaningfully with the process", and that the experiences of those like Ms Bates and Ms Mermut are of "no less value in the eyes of the inquiry, than those provided by…core participants".Paul Scott, chief executive of EPUT, said: "We know how painful this time will be for those who have lost loved ones and our thoughts are with them."We will continue to do all we can to support Baroness Lampard and her team to provide the answers that patients, families and carers are seeking.

"We would urge anyone with concerns around their current care, or that of a loved one,  to contact us so that we can offer direct support."A man was arrested on suspicion of driving offences after a crash left three young women with serious injuries, police said.

Officers and paramedics were called to Broad Road near Braintree, Essex, at about 03:38 BST on 26 April after a BMW crashed on a roundabout.

One of the women's mums told the BBC her daughter was "lucky to be alive" and described the scene as "absolute carnage".For months after Hamas attacked Israel, the fear was that the war would spread, and get worse. Slowly, and then very quickly, it happened, after Israel’s devastating attacks on Hezbollah and Lebanon.

It is too late to say the Middle East is on the brink. Israel is facing off against Iran. The warring parties have plunged over it, and countries not yet directly involved are desperate not to be dragged over the edge.As I write Israel has still not retaliated for Iran’s ballistic missile attack on 1 October. It has indicated that it intends to inflict a severe punishment. President Biden and his administration, Israel’s constant supplier of weapons and diplomatic support, are trying to calibrate a response that might offer Iran a way to stop the accelerating climb up the ladder of escalation, a phrase strategists use to describe the way wars speed from crisis to disaster.

The proximity of the US elections, along with Joe Biden’s steadfast support for Israel, despite his misgivings about the way it has been fighting, do not induce much optimism that the US will somehow finesse a way out.The signals from Israel indicate that Netanyahu, Gallant, the generals of the IDF and the intelligence agencies believe they have the upper hand. October 7th was a disaster for them. All the major security and military chiefs, except the prime minister, apologised and some resigned. They had not planned for a war with Hamas. But planning for the war with Hezbollah started after the last one ended in 2006 in a humiliating stalemate for Israel. Hezbollah has suffered blows from which it might never recover.
