russia has carried out a massive and deadly bombardment of ukrainian cities, a day before a major nato summit begins in washington. 31 people have been killed and dozens more wounded. in kyiv — ukraine's biggest children's hospital was hit in a rare daytime attack. let me show the live pictures from the scene. this is let me show the live pictures from the scene. this is the let me show the live pictures from the scene. this is the aftermath. ukraine agrees missiles use, something russia has denied. medical staff and emergency services have been trying to clear rubble by hand for hours. child patients have been moved outside. some are still rigged up moved outside. some are still rigged up to drips. in total, five

different cities were hit including president zelensky hometown which has been hit. the mayor been speaking to my colleague. it's not special operation. it's not the war. it's genocide of population in ukraine. it's right now the whole world. see how russian missiles and kamikaze drones killed ukrainian citizens. our peaceful city is right now. the children's hospitals will be hitting with from, uh, russian missiles. we don't know exactly the numbers of the people who will be killed and injuries. right now, we're saving people from the rubble of the buildings, and, uh, we're working right now. and we know the numbers of, uh, people who who is injured and skills is big. uh, right now, 66 people, receive, uh, heavy injuries. uh, we don't know exactly the numbers, how many people killed because i told we saving right now the people from rubble

of the buildings. and, um, it's a big tragedy for one more tragedy for our hometown, for capital of ukraine. mayor klitschko, i need to get your response straightaway to what we are hearing from the russian defence ministry, who says that allegations that it has deliberately targeted civilian infrastructure are absolutely untrue. and they say this destruction is caused by the fall of the ukrainian air defence missile launched from an anti—aircraft missile system within the city. from what you've seen, what has happened at the hospital? please don't listen to russian propaganda. they always find excuses. they always try an explanation. it's not the war. it's special operation. they destroy the critical infrastructure

of our hometown and explain, the, they tried to hit, uh, the military objects. it's not true. it's, uh, three years long. the russians destroyed ukraine. putin need ukraine as property, as ukrainian he don't need. and that's why i call that genocide of ukrainian population. that was key of products meant losing to our colleague a short while ago. —— kyiv�*s mayor speaking to our colleague. we also heard from the founder of ukraine's largest charity for children with cancer — which advocated for the opening of the hospital. she spoke to us from near the site that was hit. direct strike in one of the uh departments as department of toxicology, where kids with, um, kidney malfunction, uh, are on dialysis. so we know that there are a lot of people still under the rubble. there is at least one confirmed casualty, uh, from the personnel and a couple of severely injured doctors. and there are, like, hundreds of people over there trying

to clear the rubble, trying to, like, bring in some water, some food, arranging the evacuation of patients. our foundation is responsible for the kids with cancer. so, we're currently opened a charity account to collect more money and to arrange transfer of all the patients around other departments. i was actually away for a short vacation, and my son is a year and a half together with my husband, they stayed in kiev. luckily, they weren't at home. he was in the nursery and my husband was at work, so they weren't there. when it happens because the flat is like 70m from the hospital and we still don't know if the apartment is ok because i cannot reach my home. the roads are closed, everything is blocked by the police. so i'm waiting when we're going to bail out to come there.

with me in a studio ins olga. this is clearly one of the worst days of the war so far?— the war so far? absolutely. it is one of the _ the war so far? absolutely. it is one of the worst _ the war so far? absolutely. it is one of the worst days _ the war so far? absolutely. it is one of the worst days as - the war so far? absolutely. it is one of the worst days as a - the war so far? absolutely. it is l one of the worst days as a beacon the war so far? absolutely. it is - one of the worst days as a beacon of the hospital, that hospital as being known in the former ussr, that region is —— it is one of the best children's hospitals are in the region. in ukraine, that hospital has been treating severe cases such as the most dramatic brain surgeries were performed there and they were rescue retreat in —— treating children on the front line as well. there is a very famous council ward there, and a whole separate building. i have been there many times, filming there as a journalist. there is an incredible treatment for the children there and lows of children have been saved there. i have been a patient there,

i remember really well the challenges the hospitals had and all the fundraising efforts as this was during a different wall. —— will they are really shocking images, these are the images from outside and as he are starting the answer we were seeing some of the child patients together still on drips. what are you hearing in terms of the latest on the casualties at that hospital site?— latest on the casualties at that hospital site? latest on the casualties at that hos - ital site? , , ., hospital site? they were sent to me b fla hospital site? they were sent to me by fla journalists. _ hospital site? they were sent to me by fla journalists. who _ hospital site? they were sent to me by fla journalists. who kindly - by flajournalists. who kindly allowed us —— by fellowjournalists. while talking to her she said there is another air while talking to her she said there is anotherair raid. while talking to her she said there is another air raid. people on the grounds are facing an impossible decision, they have to take shelter immediately, urgently and they have

no shelter. it is impossible to carry a blood transfusion system to have children so, what i was able to get back hearing from the ground is at the children in council wards have been to be taken out of the hospital by their parents —— back in the council wards. this is filled with the dramatic videos, doctors, children, they are too graphic to be shown on air. the latest is that at at least two people have been confirmed to be have been killed in the hospital. were together in kyiv, there have been ten a, 20 one —— 61 injured. we have at least 125 injured. we have at least 125 injured. i injured. we have at least 125 in'ured. ., ., , injured. we have at least 125 in'ured. ., ., ,. ., injured. i want to put on screen are some of the _ injured. i want to put on screen are some of the live _ injured. i want to put on screen are some of the live pictures _ injured. i want to put on screen are some of the live pictures on - injured. i want to put on screen are some of the live pictures on the - some of the live pictures on the scene of the hospital. they have got is she remained there as you can

see. for hours in the immediate aftermath, we can see members of the public, doctors, nurses in their white coats and bricks, one by one trying to clear and fine people. absolutely, everyone has been trying to help. a friend of mine, a local journalist, she sent me a video where local residents and medical staff, everyone, organise a live chain of people, trying to balance alter, —— pass water. they understand that every second counts and i always in touch with a local volunteer who is right now there at the children's hospital and she said that they urgently need blood transfusion systems, syringes, painkillers and it may be freed. it

is remarkable that they said please don't drink water and regular food for the adults as well. because people have been so efficient and mobilise efforts that they already have that. just mobilise efforts that they already have that. , , ., mobilise efforts that they already have that. , , . ., ., have that. just a final thought because we — have that. just a final thought because we are _ have that. just a final thought because we are two _ have that. just a final thought because we are two years - have that. just a final thought| because we are two years into have that. just a final thought - because we are two years into this war and yet, an attack like this in the capital is still has the enormous power to shock in terms of the accounts you are getting. what we had of reaction. 17 i the accounts you are getting. what we had of reaction.— we had of reaction. ? i woke up to m mum we had of reaction. ? i woke up to my mum calling — we had of reaction. ? i woke up to my mum calling her— we had of reaction. ? i woke up to my mum calling her brother, - we had of reaction. ? i woke up to my mum calling her brother, my l my mum calling her brother, my uncle, and she was devastated that she could not reach him. she was only trying to find out what is happening there as you are trying to reach all our neighbours to find out what is happening there now. you know, people are in constant shock, it doesn't go less, even though we don't report it, even though it does not get into the headlines, ukraine

is constantly being bombed. these kind of scale of attack is absolutely devastating. as you mentioned correctly, it is quite unprecedented that the biggest children hospitals, the biggest actually, has been bombed and this hospital has been recognised as a major children treatment facility in the country. it is quite famous and people on the cards do not believe that this could be by coincidence. —— on the grant. they believe that it has been done deliberately. this hospital has been no in the former ussrin hospital has been no in the former ussr in all of the region.— hospital has been no in the former ussr in all of the region. thank you so much. ussr in all of the region. thank you so much- we _ ussr in all of the region. thank you so much. we would _ ussr in all of the region. thank you so much. we would talk— ussr in all of the region. thank you so much. we would talk in - ussr in all of the region. thank you so much. we would talk in the - ussr in all of the region. thank you l so much. we would talk in the coming hours. but thank you very much for that update. so what's russia saying about this? a short time ago, we spoke to our russia editor steve rosenberg. yeah, well, a short while ago, the russian defence ministry issued a statement.

basically denying targeting civilian infrastructure in ukraine. the ministry claimed that the russian military had fired missiles at military industrial sites and ukrainian air bases. it claims that the damage shown in photos and videos, in other words, damage to civilian sites, have been caused by ukrainian air defence systems. now, i can't confirm that, but certainly in the statement, no mention of the fact that if russia hadn't been firing missiles in the first place, then ukraine wouldn't need to employ its air defences to try to shoot them down. i mean, lucy, this feels very much like one of those days where you you feel the chasm between appearance and reality very much. i mean, on friday, i was at the kremlin, um, when viktor orban flew in for talks with vladimir putin. and i was in the room when vladimir putin was talking about how committed he was to a diplomatic resolution of the ukraine conflict, he was talking about his so—called peace initiative. and here we go, what, three days later with this, these deadly attacks on ukraine.

with me is our diplomatic correspondent james landale. james,. all this before the nato summit coming up in a few days' time. saying that ukraine is still on the back foot, ukraine has suffered. the americans decided to renew military support, that means defences, ukraine has not got what it needed. it is struggling to get enough shells to maintain its defence in the east. so, a reminder, if the whites needed a reminder, that ukraine remains incredibly vulnerable —— if the world needed a reminder. in

vulnerable -- if the world needed a reminder. , ., , ., reminder. in terms of trying to get some untick _ reminder. in terms of trying to get some uptick turnaround, _ reminder. in terms of trying to get some uptick turnaround, greatest | some uptick turnaround, greatest speed to all the things that have been promised, where rb? there speed to all the things that have been promised, where rb? there is a rocess been promised, where rb? there is a process under— been promised, where rb? there is a process under way — been promised, where rb? there is a process under way to _ been promised, where rb? there is a process under way to try _ been promised, where rb? there is a process under way to try and - been promised, where rb? there is a process under way to try and improve | process under way to try and improve delivery from what it is the americans that matter, they are the fundamental and substantial military supporters. they are the ones who have the greatest access to the air defences. these things are complicated and time to deliver. some of them, it is complicated, the americans and what to say, we're going to give some air defences to another country and we are now are now going to change that kind tract. there are logistical complications. there are logistical complications. the key thing this week, world leaders are going to come together, president zelensky is going to be there and they are going to have to make some kind of fresh commitment. there is going to be a lot of language might in the future join the alliance but what kyiv might be

is beginning its first full week in power and we've heard from the chancellor, rachel reeves, who has promised to make kick—starting economic growth a �*national mission�*. a key part of that is a plan to reintroduce compulsory house building targets as our chief economics correspondent dharshini david reports. how do you go about building prosperity? loosening red tape to revive private investment in home—building and energy infrastructure form the foundation of today's plans, aimed at underpinning a decade of renewal. it will be up to local communities to decide where the housing is built but it has to be built. if the answer is always no, we'll continue as we are and continuing as we are means living standards continuing to decline and it means public services continuing to deteriorate. the plans involve reviving mandatory house—building targets, allowing development on so—called grey belt, parts of the protected green belt already built on,

and lifting a ban on onshore wind powered developments. she knows she may be in for a fight. how prepared are we to make the hard choices and face down the vested interests? how willing, even, to risk short—term political pain to fix britain's foundations? and some campaigners say preserving our rural areas should be the priority. let's regenerate and reinvigorate our town centres, densify urban areas. if there are brownfield sites within the green belt that are located to public transport hubs then, yeah, let's look at those. but where there are just green sites in the green belt that are further away from public services and public transport, then it doesn't make sense. but broadly welcomed by the house—building industry. it's two—pronged. you've got to sort the planning out, which this is a very, very positive step towards doing. we need to also help

people to be able to buy. there is not currently enough available, affordable mortgage lending. all of this is geared towards boosting our underperforming growth record. now, the treasury claims that we could have been £140 billion better off last year if our economy had expanded at the same rate as the average rich country since 2010 and that could have brought in an extra £58 billion in tax last year, roughly the same amount as we spend on the core schools budget. we may see more of these. how much growth is powered and when is uncertain, and with the treasury assessing the spending inheritance, autumn�*s budget may not hold much more cash for services. other questions remain. importers like this florist want to know how trading arrangements with the eu could be improved. more plans are needed if growth is to truly blossom. dharshini david, bbc news.

meanwhile, circuits, has met political leaders in northern ireland. —— sir keir starmer has met political leaders in northern ireland. sir keir starmer hosts this morning were michelle o'neill and emma of the democratic unionist party. the first and deputy first ministers of northern ireland. then, there were talks of other political leaders in the devolved assembly. ahead of this visit, the prime minister has said he wants to bring stability and long—term certainty to the uk. but local parties tell him in order to do that he needs to give northern ireland more money. as well as funding for public services, there is a push for london to put up more cash for the redevelopment of the stadium. this park in west belfast is due to host matches in the next you're as if it is

it had a 50% first day of school vibe and a 50% lima's brothers of those mps who lost simply having to pack up and go? —— lima's brothers. it is a contrast. , which is the oldest parts of westminster in westminster hall. if you go five minutes from where we are, where the genus are all set, having come, there are a lot of pretty shell—shocked former conservatives wandering about, packing up their offices and leaving. former staff as well, they're giving four days to find a newjob if their mp lost theirs, if they find when they get to stay if they don't, they are out. it is a strange way today, there are a lot of people get a view to the place. i suppose that part of the

big challenge for the next few days is getting those 335 new mps up to speed to say that after the king's speech next week, the state opening of parliament, the labour government can hit the ground running. that is what it keeps promising it is going to do. it gives promise that it has got ideas out its lead. we have got to put pressure on them to —— a lot of pressure on them to do that as soon as parliament is back. irate of pressure on them to do that as soon as parliament is back. we have seen what the _ soon as parliament is back. we have seen what the education _ soon as parliament is back. we have seen what the education secretary i seen what the education secretary said, the health secretary, a flurry of cause and rachel reeves earlier and of course, the prime minister during that tour of the nations? the word of the — during that tour of the nations? iis: word of the week during that tour of the nations? "iis: word of the week is during that tour of the nations? i““is: word of the week is reset. during that tour of the nations? iis: word of the week is reset. you are going to hear a lot of talk about resetting relationships with devolved governments, with european governments, with international partners. i think the rachel reeves�* speech today really spoke to how

this labour government is going to operate. there were some chunky stuff in there, some important stuff about reforming the planning system. she said they are going to bring back mandatory housing targets, bring back an interventionist approach from the government, trying to bring planned intervention through. she also talks about how onshore wind would stop. that is concrete stuff the government hopes will have an impact. there�*s also an warning in there, we are hearing that from keir starmer and other ministers that this is not going to be solved overnight. there is not going to be a switch that means houses are going to be popping up over the countries or nhs waiting list are going to be suddenly going down or the economy is going to be growing again. this is about concrete ideas and concrete changes and argue in the medium term, that sort of thing will deliver.—

sort of thing will deliver. thanks very much _ sort of thing will deliver. thanks very much from _ sort of thing will deliver. thanks very much from westminster. i france is facing political deadlock after the final round of voting in snap parliamentary elections. this time, there was a victory for the left—wing new popular front alliance, which pushed the far—right national rally into third place. in practice, it means that no party now has a majority and a mandate to govern, in a country that has a big summer ahead. our correspondent in paris, hugh schofield, has the story. it�*s less than three weeks till the olympics and paris is abuzz with preparation. truth is, the games have been rather eclipsed of late by the small matter of who�*s going to run the country. a day after elections to the national assembly, which saw the far—right disappointed, the left triumphant and the centre holding up, it�*s totally unclear which lot is going to be in charge. the thing about the french parliament, like westminster, is that it was designed for a two—party system — one party in, one party out in opposition.

but what happens when there are three political blocs all roughly the same size, none of which can command a majority in the house and none of which wants to form an alliance with either of the others? answer — deadlock. last night, it was the left—wing new popular front that celebrated across the country. they want to name the next prime minister but they can�*t govern unless they form a deal with the centre, which would mean abandoning their manifesto. something, somewhere will have to give. this is an unprecedented situation in france in the fifth republic, this is really the first time it has happened. so can we learn the art of compromise, which is so unusual for us? i hope so. nobody knows this morning. this morning, prime minister gabriel attal came to the elysees to offer his resignation, a formality which president macron declined. so the old government stays for now, desperately seeking a new coalition and, in the meantime, oh, yes, running those games. hugh schofield, bbc news, paris.

the weather still remains unsettled and still cool for the time of year. something else to bear in mind today is the pollen level, we�*re looking at it being quite widespread, moderate or high levels, and we�*re talking especially about grass pollen at the moment. as you can see from the lack of isobars on the chart, there�*s not much of a breath of owind to move the showers along, so they�*ll be slow moving. but we do have this next area low pressure with its fronts coming in later, introducing some wetter and windier conditions from the south—west. but ahead of it, a lot of cloud, some showers, and we�*ll see sunshine and showers for the rest of the uk, but the showers, whilst scattered, are slow moving. temperatures, 12 in the north to 21 in any prolonged periods of sunshine. for wimbledon today, while we could well see a shower this morning, with the rain arriving later, and tomorrow, we�*re looking at some patchy rain at times, with highs up to 20 celsius. so, then, back to this evening and overnight, we�*ve got the rain marching in from the south, continuing to push steadily northwards.

some of the rain will be heavy. ahead of it, the showers tending to fade and clear skies developing, and it�*s not going to be as cold a start to the day tomorrow as it was this morning, with overnight lows of eight to about 15 degrees. then into tomorrow, our low pressure with its fronts continue to push northwards. by the end of the week, we�*ll be seeing the rainfall totals really mount up across northeast scotland especially, but it will be heavy at times as it crosses northern england into northern ireland and into southern and central scotland. the driest conditions will be in the north, with a few showers. behind this weather front, there will be some dry conditions with some sunshine, but, again, we�*ve got some showers not too far away and it�*s going to be a breezy day. the other thing is behind this weatherfront, it�*s also going to feel much more humid. top temperatures, 13 to once again about 21. so still below average for the time of year. as we head from tuesday into wednesday, you can see how

the low pressure pulls away into the north sea. but we still have this weather front which is going to start to sink southwards, taking some rain with it in doing so. so the outlook does remain changeable and unsettled. there will be rain at times, they�*ll be some showers, of course we�*ll see some sunshine too, but temperatures still below average. welcome to bbc news. let�*s turn to amine headlines this half hour. —— r main headlines. kyiv�*s main children�*s hospital is seriously damagedin a major wave of russian air strikes on five ukrainian cities in which at least 31 people have been killed. in london, chancellor rachel reeves has just made her first major speech where she said the new labour government inherited "14 years of chaos and economic irresponsibility". and it now falls to this new labour government to fix the foundations. there is no time to waste.

french president macron has asked prime minister gabriel attal to stay on "for now" for the "stability of the country". attal said he would resign on sunday when macron�*s centrist ensemble came second to the left—wing new popular front. those pictures on your screen are what we are expecting in the next few minutes, which is in england a news conference. you can see the journalists pretty much filling the room. i do not think we are that far away after that sensational quarterfinal win against switzerland, the semifinal ahead. we will get the thoughts of perhaps manager gareth southgate, but players as well, unclear who will actually be there at the microphones. as soon as it starts, we will return to germany and get the very latest. let�*s return to uk

politics. as we heard earlier, the chancellor, rachel reeves, has promised the government will work to boost the uk�*s ecomomic growth — so what might that look like? nina warhurst has been to one cafe in greater manchester to find out what families and small businesses are hoping for. getting the economy moving is a journey — and it starts with a basic bread and butter issue. people just aren�*t spending like they used to. yeah, i have noticed a lot of change. obviously the amount of money people use to spend on their drinks and food has gone down an awful lot recently. james, his son braith and kim rely on a food charity to get by, still working in her late 60s, this is not where kim expected to be. pensioners use it, young people use it, all sorts of families, because nobody is getting any help, and i'm just hoping that the new chancellor will be helping. braith needs his dad�*s full—time care but they say state support left them homeless for 18 months. it�*s got increasingly

difficult, very hard now. really, we�*ve never been as poor as we are right now. it's terribly difficult. this chair that i'm in right now, we had to finance through the community. this was paid through the kindness of strangers. we�*d just like to be treated with a bit of respect, even if they don�*t give us more cash. they told us it was going to be ten months first to get a wheelchair and i was going to be bedbound for ten months. voters were clear on thursday, they are ready for a change. but for the chancellor�*s vision to work, well, she will have to be sure that investors and businesses are on board too. so far, private investors seem to have taken this new government very much in stride. in fact, we saw the ftse 250, which is the home of the more domestically—focused listed companies in the uk, we saw that up on friday following the election victory, which just suggests that investors are tentatively confident

they are ready to engage with labour and rachel reeves. the weeks ahead will be crucial. signalling change is one thing — arriving at the right destination is another. nina warhurst, bbc news. that is the economy. another of the government�*s challenges is prison overcrowding. the home secretary yvette cooper says there isn�*t a quick fix. she�*s been talking about neighbourhood crime and anti—social behaviour at a police station in south london. our uk correspondent adina campbell reports. on the beat in south—east london, it was an early start for the new home secretary yvette cooper, walking alongside metropolitan police officers in lewisham. and with an overflowing in tray of how this government will fight crime, questions over labour�*s plans to try and solve a strained prison system are high on the list. we are going to have to deal

with the legacy that we inherit. they have failed to build the prisons that we need, they have allowed the number of remand prisoners, people waiting for trial, to increase because of the chaos and the backlog in the criminal justice system. all of those things are going to need to be addressed and to be fixed. and with pressure mounting just days into the newjob, the former chief inspector of prisons says urgent action is needed. you have to reduce the prison population, if nothing else, to make room for dealing with people who are now in the courts' backlog. but if you release a large number of people, then there's the risk that some of them will reoffend, and where are they going to live? but there are other priorities too — protecting local communities, better policing on our streets and reducing anti—social behaviour. there is no doubt that there is a lot to do. under this new government, labour want to introduce 13,000 extra new neighbourhood police

officers and introduce tough new respect orders to solve issues such as public drinking and drug use. community leaders say they want to see young people given more of a voice. we need to see much more greater accountability for policing, and in that, we mean greater intelligence —led policing, so not random stop and searches but much more based on intelligence. again, more scrutiny panels involving young people so that the police can be held to account for various actions. many will now be watching closely to see how and when the new home secretary will bring in changes to help keep our community safe. adina campbell, bbc news. joining me now are mark icke, vice president of the prison governors association, and cassia rowland, a senior researcher at the institute for government. she specialises in criminal justice, the police, criminal courts and prisons.

absolutely. we recently looked to old the party leaders prior to the election— old the party leaders prior to the election -- — old the party leaders prior to the election —— wrote to all the party leaders — election —— wrote to all the party leaders. we were very clear there is much _ leaders. we were very clear there is much to— leaders. we were very clear there is much to do — leaders. we were very clear there is much to do. we need complete reform of our— much to do. we need complete reform of our system, but the right thing to do— of our system, but the right thing to do right — of our system, but the right thing to do right now is the sentencing reform — to do right now is the sentencing reform. we are willing to give clarity — reform. we are willing to give clarity to _ reform. we are willing to give clarity to the public so they know exactly _ clarity to the public so they know exactly what to expect if the police arrest _ exactly what to expect if the police arrest people, and to make sure they feel safe. _ arrest people, and to make sure they feel safe, that there is somewhere for those _ feel safe, that there is somewhere for those people to end up in. and what are your _ for those people to end up in. fi.“ic what are your views on for those people to end up in. pic what are your views on the decisions to make in the coming months? there needs to be — to make in the coming months? there needs to be an — to make in the coming months? there needs to be an immediate _ to make in the coming months? ii—ii” needs to be an immediate decision and there needs to be some longer term reforms and an approach to how you can address the situation longer time. you have not got time to do that right now. the situation is so cute. so i think the first decision is how do we manage the immediate capacity crisis? and make sure that we free up enough space to give ourselves time to do some of that

longer work, whatever it is, building new prisons, reforming sentencing, or doing more community sentences, things like that, you need to make sure there is time to embed things properly.— embed things properly. freeing up sace, ou embed things properly. freeing up space, you immediately _ embed things properly. freeing up space, you immediately hit - embed things properly. freeing up space, you immediately hit the - space, you immediately hit the obvious quick decision, i�*ve seen it already in the last 2a hours, which is people making the point that you are allowing criminals to walk the streets. how do you navigate that as a backdrop? i streets. how do you navigate that as a backdrop?— a backdrop? i think it is really challenging- _ a backdrop? i think it is really challenging. i— a backdrop? i think it is really challenging. i had _ a backdrop? i think it is really challenging. i had a _ a backdrop? i think it is really challenging. i had a lot - a backdrop? i think it is really challenging. i had a lot of- a backdrop? i think it is really i challenging. i had a lot of people on twitter making this point to me already. i think the way to understand it is it is necessary to make sure that we are keeping prisons space available for the most serious offenders are the highest risk people, so those people who really need to be outside the community for public protection reasons or because they have committed very serious offences. so

you�*re safeguarding prison spaces and capacity for those people. that may mean you need to do some prioritisation and make some decisions that will be quite politically uncomfortable, i think, for the new government. yes. mark, in terms of — for the new government. yes. mark, in terms of that _ for the new government. yes. mark, in terms of that is _ for the new government. yes. mark, in terms of that is one _ for the new government. yes. mark, in terms of that is one area, - in terms of that is one area, exactly as she has said, some uncomfortable decisions, but there are broader decisions to make in terms of conditions inside many of our prisons, which are absolutely dire, aren�*t they? our prisons, which are absolutely dire, aren't they?— our prisons, which are absolutely dire, aren't they? yes, some of the conditions — dire, aren't they? yes, some of the conditions we _ dire, aren't they? yes, some of the conditions we are _ dire, aren't they? yes, some of the conditions we are seeing _ dire, aren't they? yes, some of the conditions we are seeing at - dire, aren't they? yes, some of the conditions we are seeing at the - conditions we are seeing at the moment. — conditions we are seeing at the moment, we have seen such a lack of investment— moment, we have seen such a lack of investment from recent governments that some _ investment from recent governments that some of the accommodation is clearly— that some of the accommodation is clearly unfit or where we want to house _ clearly unfit or where we want to house people in order to give them the right— house people in order to give them the right environment, where change is possible. _ the right environment, where change is possible, it starts with a decent environment, isn't it? and living conditions. _ environment, isn't it? and living conditions, because that is what we expect— conditions, because that is what we expect as _ conditions, because that is what we expect as a — conditions, because that is what we expect as a society. just because we put some _ expect as a society. just because we put some of— expect as a society. just because we put some of these people in custody does not _ put some of these people in custody does not mean we should do that. if we can— does not mean we should do that. if we can get— does not mean we should do that. if we can get the conditions are right, some _ we can get the conditions are right, some investment into maintaining what we _ some investment into maintaining what we have currently got, the current — what we have currently got, the current stock, that would be really

concern is growing over president biden�*s campaign performance. he has vowed to stay on. the comments come as a growing number of democrats call on the president to step down following a primetime tv interview on friday that failed to quell doubts stemming from a shaky debate against republican rival mr trump. can president biden win overwhelmingly, by any stretch at this point? either he has to win overwhelmingly or he has to pass the torch to someone who can — it's as simple as that. because what the supreme court did in that decision was give the next occupant of that office, wheather it'sjoe biden or anyone else, nearly dictatorial power. i want to ask you about that coming up, but let me very quickly ask you about the vice president. you saw the polling, one poll shows her doing better against former president trump.

do you think she�*s a stronger candidate to take on donald trump? i think the vice president would be a phenomenal president. i think she has the experience, the judgment, the leadership ability to be an extraordinary president. could she win overwhelmingly, congressmen? i think she very well could win overwhelmingly but before we get into a decision about who else it should be, the president needs to make the decision whether it's him. really interesting comments from adam. adam schiff. i referenced in let me tell you whatjoe biden has said. he said he is firmly committed to the election campaign, vowing to remain in the presidential contest to challenge donald trump, he wants is to know that he is firmly committed to staying in the race and to stay until the end and beating

donald trump. there is the letter he has written to those democrats. in addition to that, he has doubled down on an interview on msnbc, singly confident the average voter still wants him on the average voter still wants him on the democratic ticket. he says losing is not an option "and i have not lost to trump and cut. a couple of quotes from msnbc. a growing panic amongst the democratic party after that debate. if a couple of quotes being latched onto to answer the questions, and adam schiff proving the point that despite what joe biden has said, he does not intend to drop out, senior democrats still asking the question around whether that should actually take place. it is interesting because over the last few days, certainly in washington, people have been using

the phrases matty done is beginning to crack, so huge pressure onjoe biden after that debate. of course the purchaser saying there was a huge well of affection forjoe biden among the democrat party, but one observer made the point if he did not stand aside, the affection might turn to anger. so perhaps we are seeing the first signs of that with those comments coming in from lawmakers, hearing whatjoe biden has said, but still posing the question, should he stand aside, should kamala harris or somebody else take over the ticket to fight donald trump? those are the latest comments from joe biden. we will get more reaction out of washington on that story. it is said to be a really critical week in washington on this story. plenty more coming up in the next while. let�*s stay in the us. more than 50 million people

in america are on heat alert, as the west of the country experiences a record breaking heatwave. las vegas recorded its highest temperatures on record yesterday, and death valley in california is bracing for the same in the next few days. thomas magill has more. blistering hot temperatures in death valley, where the record for the hottest place on earth is expected to be broken during this unprecedented heatwave. it�*s already delivered temperatures of more than 130 degrees, and that�*s been drawing thrillseekers to the area. how many people in the world can say they�*ve been to the hottest place in the world? i feel, like, a weird sense of pride in it, like being an adventure that i can handle... i've been in northern vermont in the wintertime in —20 and now i've been in the hottest place in the world. honestly, it's definitely shocking. i don't know how anything can survive out here. - but experts are warning the extremely hot temperatures, which are currently affecting around 36 million americans, could lead to heat stress.

one visitor to the area died on sunday from heat exposure, and this so—called heat dome remains over california. there�*s no mistaking how hot it is. you start to feel it on your skin, in your eyes — they start to dry, start to almost hurt a little bit over time. so it is quite the experience. that�*s why we really recommend that visitors minimise their exposure if they are coming to death valley in the summer. firefighters are continuing to battle wildfires across parts of california, as temperatures soar in nevada and death valley — already the hottest place on earth after 134 degrees was recorded there in 1913. scientists say it�*s hard to link individual weather events to climate change but say extreme events are becoming more common and more intense. thomas magill, bbc news.

edible pictures and incredible temperatures. more on that a little later. —— incredible pictures. that is the scene in germany as we are expecting an england conference in bouncy build—up to the semifinal against the netherlands, a pretty full house they are ofjournalists, so i do not think where that far away. it was supposed to start about half an hour ago, then delayed. i think it should start pretty quickly, and as soon as it does, we will carry on with it. to kenya, where at least one elderly person is killed every week in the name of witchcraft. bbc africa eye has investigated the true motives behind these brutal murders, revealing that many are targeted by their own families. njeri mwangi reports. kenya�*s kilifi coast, a popular tourist destination. but there is a dark underbelly to this beautiful landscape. attacks against those deemed which are common across africa but here at least one person

is being killed a week in the name of witchcraft. this man was attacked with a machete after being called a witch. he says he knows who did this to him, and now he lives in a rescue centre with other survivors. like others, he suspects the real reason he was targeted was for his land. land has increased in value on the coast and people are going to extreme lengths to obtain it.

this ex—hit man claims he has been paid to kill more than 20 innocent people branded as witches for as little as a few hundred dollars each time. who organises for the killings? a long history of poor policing has many living in fear. today, katana is home

for a rare visit. he has only been back once. family and neighbours begin to gather as they see katana arrive. it is an emotional homecoming, particularly for his young son. katana returns to the house where he was attacked.

many people have been questioned by the police but no—one has been charged. for some, katana�*s survival is further proof that he is a witch. fearful for his life, he feels he cannot stay. we asked the kenyan police to comment on the issues raised but received no response. still vulnerable, it is likely katana will spend the rest of his life at the rescue centre, along with dozens of others forced from their own land. njeri mwangi, bbc news. we can go live to germany. that news conference about to begin. i was watching him play darts with some of the reporters assembled in that room. here we go, is england�*s

children's hospital was hit in a rare daytime attack. these are the live pictures of what the scene looks like now. ukraine said a cruise missile was used, something russia denies. medical staff and emergency services have been trying to clear the rubble. child patients have been a separate medical centre has also been hit. kyiv�*s mayor, vitaliy klitschko, called it "one of the worst attacks" his city has seen since the start of the war. in total, five cities are thought to have been targeted. including president volodymyr zelensky�*s hometown of dnipro was also hit. the mayor of kyiv, vitali klitschko, has been speaking to my colleague lucy hockings — have a listen. it's not a special operation, is not a war, it is the genocide of ukraine. we see how russia killed

ukrainian citizens. our peaceful city, right now, children hospital will be hitting with russian missiles. we know exactly —— we don't know exactly the number of people who will be killed. we are getting people from the rubble of the buildings. we are working right now and we know the numbers of people who are injured and schools is a big right now. right now, 56 people have injuries. we don't know the exact number of people killed because they are taken people from the rubble of the building. i because they are taken people from the rubble of the building.— the rubble of the building. i need to net the rubble of the building. i need to get your _ the rubble of the building. i need to get your spine _ the rubble of the building. i need to get your spine straightaway i the rubble of the building. i need i to get your spine straightaway from what you are hearing from the russian defence ministry who say

claims that russia delivery targeted infrastructure say that this is caused by the failures in the ukrainian air defence missiles. from what you have seen, what has happened at the hospital? please don't listen _ happened at the hospital? please don't listen to _ happened at the hospital? please don't listen to russian _ happened at the hospital? please i don't listen to russian propaganda, they always find excuses. they always find an explanation. it is not a war, is a special operation. they destroyed critical infrastructure of our hometown and they directly hit military objects. it is not true. it's three years longer, the russians destroyed ukraine. putin needs ukraine as property, is ukrainians he doesn't need and that is why i recorded that the genocide of the ukrainian population. we also heard from the founder of ukraine's largest charity

for children with cancer, which advocated for the opening of the hospital. she spoke to us from near the site that was hit. there was a direct strike in one of the uh departments as department of toxicology, where kids with, um, kidney malfunction, uh, are on dialysis. so we know that there are a lot of people still under the rubble. there is at least one confirmed casualty, uh, from the personnel and a couple of severely injured doctors. and there are, like, hundreds of people over there trying to clear the rubble, trying to, like, bring in some water, some food, arranging the evacuation of patients. our foundation is responsible for the kids with cancer. so, we're currently opened a charity account to collect more money and to arrange transfer of all the patients around other departments. i was actually away for a short vacation, and my son is a year and a half together with my husband, they stayed in kyiv.

luckily, they weren't at home. he was in the nursery and my husband was at work, so they weren't there. when it happens because the flat is like 70m from the hospital and we still don't know if the apartment is ok because i cannot reach my home. the roads are closed, everything is blocked by the police. so i'm waiting when we're going to bail out to come there. with me is our reporter olga malchevska. 0h oh god, you've been keeping a really close eye on there since we first heard of these attacks? the latest is the identity _ heard of these attacks? the latest is the identity of _ heard of these attacks? the latest is the identity of 100 _ heard of these attacks? the latest is the identity of 100 people - heard of these attacks? the latest is the identity of 100 people killedj is the identity of 100 people killed there has been confirmed as she is a female doctor in the children's hospital. —— the identity of one of the people killed. it has been

confirmed that the doctor has been killed in the attack and, she is one of two adults confirmed killed in the children's hospital. we are hearing about at least seven people killed in a maternity hospital in another part of kyiv. altogether, there are at least 20 people confirmed killed just in kyiv. the rescue operation continues as we can see in those live pictures and people believe there are still people believe there are still people who could be under the debris. some of ukrainian psychologies will show issued recommendations for those who are under the rubble, it is widely you quoted in the ukrainian media. please call loudly for much as much as you can but please don't move. the situation for them physically can be very dangerous if they try to move. . , ., , , can be very dangerous if they try to move. . , . , , ., move. that is really terrifying as we continue _

countries of that region. ijust countries of that region. i 'ust want to interrupt i countries of that region. i 'ust want to interrupt you i countries of that region. i 'ust want to interrupt you to h countries of that region. i just - want to interrupt you to reference the pictures. these pictures were sent to you. now ordinarily, we would be really careful about what we show given the nature of who these patients are but they were sent to you with the acceptance to put them on the screen to show the world is exactly what we are talking about. , .. , . ., world is exactly what we are talking about. , .. , . . ., about. yes, exactly. i managed to reach a mellow— about. yes, exactly. i managed to reach a mellow journalist - about. yes, exactly. i managed to reach a mellow journalist and - reach a mellowjournalist and photographer underground. —— fellow journalists on the ground. he was there and making skills of people trying to capture as much as possible while been under attack as well. while this figure to me wasn't whatsapp, he said sorry, there is another air whatsapp, he said sorry, there is anotherair raid. he whatsapp, he said sorry, there is another air raid. he was trying to take those pictures. people there have been facing an impossible

choice, they have to take shelter immediately and there is no shelter and there is no possibility to run away. especially imagining if someone is a parent or child who has been receiving a cancer treatment and they have been linked to those special medical systems. and they can't be moved really quickly because someone has to move all those medical systems with them. i have been seeing this very dramatic stills and videos which are quite graphic so we can't show them on air... i graphic so we can't show them on air... ., graphic so we can't show them on air... . ., , ., ., graphic so we can't show them on air... . .,, ., ., ,. air... i want to show on screen another _ air... i want to show on screen another set — air... i want to show on screen another set of _ air... i want to show on screen another set of pictures - air... i want to show on screen another set of pictures which i air... i want to show on screen - another set of pictures which show the human chain which we should soar, because there's still some of the patients. this is a scene to just get water to those people who need it. we saw the same people just removing the bricks in terms of rubble. ., , ., removing the bricks in terms of rubble. . , . . removing the bricks in terms of rubble. ., , ., ., rubble. that is a remarkable effort for the locals. _ rubble. that is a remarkable effort for the locals. recall— rubble. that is a remarkable effort for the locals. recall people - rubble. that is a remarkable effort for the locals. recall people locals but they are people from everyone who just dropped everything and moved to the hospital as quickly as

really safe. they have all the best facilities to make it safe for people but, still there have been seven people were reportedly killed which tells us about the strands of those hits. ., which tells us about the strands of those hits. . ., . . . ., those hits. thanks once again for takin: us those hits. thanks once again for taking us through _ those hits. thanks once again for taking us through all _ those hits. thanks once again for taking us through all the - those hits. thanks once again for taking us through all the various| taking us through all the various footage that is coming in and the very latest information. thank you, very latest information. thank you, very much and we will talk again a little later in today buy—back programme. we would turn out to the us and all developments in the presidential race. president biden has promised to remain in the race for the next us election. in a letter to democrats in congress, mr biden said he was firmly committed to beating donald trump, despite what he described as speculation in the press. he called on democrats to unite around his re—election bid. this is the american president's latest attempt to quieten critical voices after his lacklustre debate performance.

saying that is the letter that has been sent to democrats. let me just underline the key phrase. that is the r let me also give you a few quotes from an interview he has done with msnbc. thejoe has said he is confident, the average voter still was him on the democratic ticket. he said that losing is not an option and i haven't lost to donald trump. a reflection that he defeated the republican candidate last time round. he is a third equate that may give you a little insight into what is going on in washington. —— but a side quote. he said he is getting frustrated by elites in the

democratic party. that is in reference to the increasingly loud voices for many democrats, some senior democrats are urging the president to stand aside. he has several times said that abc interview that he did not intend to stand aside but that has not stopped democrats, democratic strategic advisors, those in the party, from again and again voicing their concerns about the president and saying, they have it in time to make that decision. adam shipp is the latest to talk about the president making that decision despite what joe biden has already said. that is why i say it is interesting from that last nine and the end —— in that last nine and the end —— in that interview. joe biden said he is getting frustrated by elites. that story is potentially likely to move through the course of this week's that we will talk again on the programme and its later about what

is actually happening up under the service there in washington. the new labour government is beginning its first full week in power and we've heard from the chancellor, rachel reeves, who has promised to make kick—starting economic growth a �*national mission'. a key part of that is a plan to reintroduce compulsory house building targets, as our chief economics correspondent dharshini david reports. how do you go about building prosperity? loosening rain tape to revive private investment in home—building and energy infrastructure with the foundation of the day's plans. aimed at underpinning a decade of renewal. the local community decides where the housing is built but it has to be built, if the answer is always known, we will continue where we are and continuing where we are means little stand is getting to the clan enemy public services continued to

was gravely concerned about the situation in port talbot and regarding tata steel. and he also said there was a better deal available on the table. there was no detail on what that better deal possibly could be. there was discussions between the business secretaryjonathan reynolds and the union is taking place later on this week —— those discussions. it is understood that the business secretary spoke to a tatter over the weekend and there is a dialogue there. you may remember one of the two blast furnaces that creates essentially new still closed on friday in the second is due to close in september —— spoke to tata. when it closes, that means all the jobs at the sight of port talbot —— almost all thejobs will at the sight of port talbot —— almost all the jobs will close and no new version still being created here in the uk. that is because investment has been made by the previous government, committed by this new government in tata steel, to build an electric arc furnace in

port talbot, recycling old steel to make new ones. what keir starmer and his government are saying is we want to protectjobs as best we can, but we're still waiting to hear how they're going to do that. tomos, behind the _ they're going to do that. tomos, behind the scenes, _ they're going to do that. tomos, behind the scenes, are - they're going to do that. tomos, behind the scenes, are they - they're going to do that. tomos, l behind the scenes, are they likely to have discussed at the no—confidence vote done a few ago, but real question marks about a vaughan gething?— but real question marks about a vaughan gething? throughout the cam aiun, vaughan gething? throughout the campaign. sir— vaughan gething? throughout the campaign, sir keir _ vaughan gething? throughout the campaign, sir keir starmer - vaughan gething? throughout the campaign, sir keir starmer has . vaughan gething? throughout the i campaign, sir keir starmer has been a very positive about vaughan gething, saying he has done nothing wrong and the first minister has been saying that as well. as recently as a couple of days ago and over the weekend, the welsh secretary was also saying that, jo stevens, so it seems from the labour side, the uk labour and stevens, so it seems from the labour side, the uk labourand uk government side, they have no issue. however, over the weekend, a former ministerfor labour said however, over the weekend, a former minister for labour said actually vaughan gething should never site and it should be someone else coming in because at the moment there is a discussion on eddie senedd over whether or not the first minister and his team will be able to pass motions through the senedd because

of the failed no—confidence vote that happened last month. there are clearly still tensions there within the pressie hole, but within the uk government side, from seven keir starmer�*s and welsh in's side, do not seem to have any issue with him at the moment. not seem to have any issue with him at the moment-— not seem to have any issue with him at the moment. thank you very much. that the latest — at the moment. thank you very much. that the latest on _ at the moment. thank you very much. that the latest on the _ at the moment. thank you very much. that the latest on the prime _ that the latest on the prime minister's tour of the nations. so much going on. we were looking at prisons a little while ago, we have heard from rachel reeves as well. let's take a step back. after the election, so many new mps,. 335 mp5 have been arriving at westminster for the first time today, navigating the house of commons, setting up their offices and getting used to their new roles. let's speak to our political correspondent nick eardley

in westminster hall. it is an extraordinary rabbit warren comedy chambers, working out how that place works. despite the fact you have new mps that place works. despite the fact you have new mp5 from all the different parties are —— a rabbit warren, the chambers. despite having new mps warren, the chambers. despite having new mp5 from different parties, their all in the same boat. thea;r their all in the same boat. they are. the vast _ their all in the same boat. they are. the vast majority - their all in the same boat. they are. the vast majority are - their all in the same boat. tie: are. the vast majority are labour mps after their victory. if you can hear some background noise, it is because about three quarters of the parliamentary labour party are currently in westminster hall. i think they may be about have a big group photo taken. one of the things westminster is known for is its strict traditional rules. not actually allowed to film at the new mps while they get ready for their first days in the job. they will be finding out loads of new rules about this place as well. to paint a bit of a picture, as well as the dozens of a picture, as well as the dozens of mps of a picture, as well as the dozens of mp5 i hear, that 20 metres from where we are just now, as portcullis house, where all the coffee rooms are. there are a lot of mps are

finding theirfeet and are. there are a lot of mps are finding their feet and there, and are. there are a lot of mps are finding theirfeet and there, and i was chatting to a couple of them just now, all talking about getting to their emails, the system here. they have all been given panic alarms and a sense of how big an issue security is for mp5 at the moment. there are also a lot of people who lost their seats on thursday. former mps milling about with boxes, gathering their staff, cleaning out their offices. so it is one of the strangest days at westminster, actually, when there is this crossover of the new mps giddy with excitement, ready to get down to work on the rather glum older mps are now reading. == to work on the rather glum older mps are now reading.— are now reading. -- leaving. we are seeinr are now reading. -- leaving. we are seeing some — are now reading. -- leaving. we are seeing some of— are now reading. -- leaving. we are seeing some of the _ are now reading. -- leaving. we are seeing some of the pictures - are now reading. -- leaving. we are seeing some of the pictures of - are now reading. -- leaving. we arej seeing some of the pictures of mps, the green party, there was four new mps, the green party, there was four new mp5, on the green. huge smiles, some of those new mps really enjoying the excitement of the moment. but income i suppose, excitement of the moment. but income isuppose, nerves excitement of the moment. but income i suppose, nerves to one side. we were talking on saturday, when we were talking on saturday, when we were in downing street, that many of

the rules in westminster, perhaps being out of date and anachronistic. who actually decides whether any of that change is? whether it is time to modernise some of those practices?— to modernise some of those ractices? . , . . , practices? that is a really good question- _ practices? that is a really good question. the _ practices? that is a really good question. the broad _ practices? that is a really good question. the broad answer- practices? that is a really good i question. the broad answer would practices? that is a really good - question. the broad answer would be parliament sort of decide its own rules. mps can influence what changes and what doesn't change. i have actually asked quite a few of the new mps we have been chatting to this morning on bbc news about what they think of the culture. it doesn't feel like some are quite keen for the cultural shift away from the drinking late into the evening while boats are going on to look at other ways of working. that is probably easier said than done, closing danny bath it is very unlikely, but i do think there is a bit of hope there might be a cultural shift —— i do have to say it is very unlikely. t cultural shift -- i do have to say it is very unlikely.— it is very unlikely. i hope you're 0k in terms _ it is very unlikely. i hope you're

0k in terms of— it is very unlikely. i hope you're 0k in terms of being _ it is very unlikely. i hope you're 0k in terms of being able - it is very unlikely. i hope you're 0k in terms of being able to . it is very unlikely. i hope you're i 0k in terms of being able to clear ok in terms of being able to clear your throat, ok in terms of being able to clear yourthroat, but ok in terms of being able to clear your throat, but we are watching the prime minister, he has been in northern ireland, wales, and in terms of the various cabinet new appointees, we have seen so many of them outlining their next steps. and there always is with the new government, real energy in these first days. government, real energy in these first da s. , ~ first days. there is. i think the challenge _ first days. there is. i think the challenge for _ first days. there is. i think the challenge for the _ first days. there is. i think the challenge for the labour - first days. there is. i think the challenge for the labour party | first days. there is. i think the - challenge for the labour party and government is partly to site out there so very quickly. it is politically there has been a plan to do that, to get cabinet ministers out nice and early to say, here are my big priorities, here's how i'm going to try to achieve the change we have been talking about. with a note of caution to say that some of it, like significant reform of the planning system will take time. but a labour's made delivering its pledge is the absolute key to this government. they have a honeymoon period just now where it's all about

the excitement of a new parliament but that only lasts so long before people actually expect some delivery and tangible results, so that will be the next part of the equation. fill these mps here, it is a couple of weeks until they get going, they get formally so in from tomorrow, the elect a speaker tomorrow and need to have the state opening of parliament tomorrow with the king. —— it at the state opening of parliament next week. and getting us to the pollen in the area as well, which has cut my throat terribly! t which has cut my throat terribly! i think i give you my cough on the weekend! knitterrdly they are at westminster. thank you. let's turn from westminster to france. this this

france is facing political deadlock after the final round of voting in snap parliamentary elections. this time, there was a victory for the left—wing new popular front alliance, which pushed the far—right national rally into third place. in practice, it means that no party now has a majority and a mandate to govern, in a country that has a big summer ahead. our correspondent in paris, hugh schofield, has the story. it's less than three weeks till the olympics and paris is abuzz with preparation. truth is, the games have been rather eclipsed of late by the small matter of who's going to run the country. a day after elections to the national assembly, which saw the far—right disappointed, the left triumphant and the centre holding up, it's totally unclear which lot is going to be in charge. the thing about the french parliament, like westminster, is that it was designed for a two—party system — one party in, one party out in opposition. but what happens when there

are three political blocs all roughly the same size, none of which can command a majority in the house and none of which wants to form an alliance with either of the others? answer — deadlock. last night, it was the left—wing new popular front that celebrated across the country. they want to name the next prime minister but they can't govern unless they form a deal with the centre, which would mean abandoning their manifesto. something, somewhere will have to give. this is an unprecedented situation in france in the fifth republic, this is really the first time it has happened. so can we learn the art of compromise, which is so unusual for us? i hope so. nobody knows this morning. this morning, prime minister gabriel attal came to the elysees to offer his resignation — a formality which president macron declined. so the old government stays for now, desperately seeking a new coalition and, in the meantime, oh, yes, running those games. hugh schofield, bbc news, paris.

hugh schofield in paris. in the past few minutes, the national rally leader jordan bardella has been speaking and he was asked if he takes personal responsibility for the results in the second round of voting. yes, of close i will pay my part. i was head during the european elections and we won those. today we have the largest delegation within the ep. yesterday's results were not the ep. yesterday's results were not the results we were hoping for. these results come of course our results i have a part in. i did a role in this. jordan bertola speaking — a role in this. jordan bertola speaking there _ a role in this. jordan bertola speaking there in _ a role in this. jordan bertola speaking there in the - a role in this. jordan bertola speaking there in the last i a role in this. jordan bertola i speaking there in the last hour or so. —— bardella. another of the uk government's challenges is prison overcrowding. the home secretary yvette cooper says there isn't a quick fix. she's been talking about neighbourhood crime and anti—social behaviour at a police station

in south london. our uk correspondent adina campbell reports. on the beat in south—east london, it was an early start for the new home secretary yvette cooper, walking alongside metropolitan police officers in lewisham. and with an overflowing in tray of how this government will fight crime, questions over labour's plans to try and solve a strained prison system are high on the list. we are going to have to deal with the legacy that we inherit. they have failed to build the prisons that we need, they have allowed the number of remand prisoners, people waiting for trial, to increase because of the chaos and the backlog in the criminal justice system. all of those things are going to need to be addressed and to be fixed. and with pressure mounting just days into the newjob, the former chief inspector of prisons says urgent action is needed. you have to reduce the prison population, if nothing else,

to make room for dealing with people who are now in the courts' backlog. but if you release a large number of people, then there's the risk that some of them will reoffend, and where are they going to live? but there are other priorities too — protecting local communities, better policing on our streets and reducing anti—social behaviour. there is no doubt that there is a lot to do. under this new government, labour want to introduce 13,000 extra new neighbourhood police officers and introduce tough new respect orders to solve issues such as public drinking and drug use. community leaders say they want to see young people given more of a voice. we need to see much more greater accountability for policing, and in that, we mean greater intelligence—led policing, so not random stop and searches but much more based on intelligence. again, more scrutiny panels involving young people so that the police can be held to account for various actions. many will now be watching closely to see how and when the new home secretary will bring in changes to help keep our communities safe.

adina campbell, bbc news. earlier, i spoke to mark icke, vice president of the prison governors association, and cassia rowland, a senior researcher at the institute for government, specialising in criminaljustice, the courts and prisons. i asked them both about the current state of the prison system. the situation in prisons is really acute at the moment, and there's going to need to be some pretty strong and swift action taken, i think, to address that. mark? yeah, absolutely agree. there's lots to do at the moment, but there's an absolute priority and that's sorting out the position we're in at the moment with not many spaces left in our custody environments. so let's talk about how you address that.

mark, in your view, what should the next immediate steps be? because we know building prisons, all of that takes a very long time. no quick fix there. so what should we be doing in the intervening time? yeah, absolutely. so we recently wrote to all the party leaders prior to the election and we were very, very clear that there's much to do. we need complete reform of our system. but the right thing to do right now is the sentencing reform. we really need to give clarity to the public so they know exactly what to expect if the police arrest people and to make sure that they feel safe, that there somewhere for those people to end up in. cassie, in your view, are the key decisions to make in the coming months? there needs to be an immediate decision, and then there needs to be some longer—term reforms and kind of an approach to how you can address the situation longer term.

you haven't got time to do that right now, the situation is so acute. so i think the first decision is how do we manage the immediate capacity crisis and make sure that we free up enough space to give ourselves time to do some of that longer work, whatever that is, whether it's building new prisons, whether it's reforming sentencing or doing more community sentences, things like that. you need to make sure that there's time to embed that properly. freeing up space, though, you immediately hit the obvious criticism — i've seen it already in the last 24 hours, which is people making the point that you're allowing criminals to walk the streets. i mean, how do you navigate that as a backdrop? i think it's really challenging. i've had a lot of people on twitter making this point to me already. you need to... i think the way to understand it is that it's necessary to make sure that we are keeping prison space available for the most

serious offenders or the highest—risk people, so those people who really need to be outside the community for public protection reasons or because they've committed very serious offences. so you're kind of safeguarding prison spaces and custody for those people, and that may mean that you need to do some prioritisation and make some decisions that will be quite politically uncomfortable, i think, for the new government. yes. mark, in terms of that is one area that exactly as cassia is saying, some uncomfortable decisions, but there are broader decisions to make in terms of conditions inside many of our prisons, which are absolutely dire, aren't they? yeah, some of the conditions that were seen at the moment, we've had such a lack of investment from successive governments, so some of the accommodation is clearly unfit or where we would want to house people in order to give them the right environment where change is possible. it starts with a decent environment, doesn't it?

and living conditions, because that's what we expect as a society. sojust because we put some of these people in custody doesn't mean we shouldn't do that. so if we can get the conditions right, we can get some investment into the maintaining what we've currently got, the current stock, that would be really useful. what do you make of the appointment as james timpson as prisons minister? because we've got a picture of him there on the screen and his company — of course, people may know this, may not know this — have done a lot of work around rehabilitation, and i was looking only the last couple of days at one of their adverts saying, "if you're a former prisoner and you're going for a job interview, we will dry clean your suit for free". it is a very, very interesting appointment, isn't it? yeah, i think it is really interesting. it sends quite a clear signal, i think, about the direction that the new government wants to go in, in terms of rehabilitation and in particular the emphasis on probation and kind of the post—release point, because we talk quite a lot about prisons, but the missing part

in the conversation is really on probation. i think. that's really struggling as well, and you need a strong probation system to kind of manage the people as they're leaving prison. so i think that's really interesting and we'll see how he settles in to westminster. what did you make of that appointment? because he's been made a peer, so goes into the house of lords before taking up this role. i think he's said before, in the last little while that this country is "addicted to punishment" so what do you make of his appointment and perhaps what it indicates about future direction? i was really surprised by the appointment, but one we really welcome. it creates a bit of hope. personally, i had a chance to meet withjames in prison and talk to him about his views. of course, he's been part of the prison reform trust as well previously, and so he knows his way around.

what we are excited about, though, is that the noises we're hearing is that he's here for some time because, as you'll know, and your viewers will know, the last 14 years we've seen so many secretaries of state and so many prison ministers, what we need now is some stability, a chance to build those relationships with our ministers, talk to them about what the future looks like and hopefully see some output at the other end. so, yeah, really, really buoyed by the appointment ofjames and really looking forward to working with him again. a quick 10 seconds each from both of you. do you need substantial investment to do all of these things that you're talking about? cassia? i don't think you do. if you're reducing the prison population, that should be saving you money in the long term, so there's economic arguments for it as well. mark? yeah, i think we do need some kind of investment, definitely in the stock, but also in our ability to run decent programmes in custody for those that we're currently holding to prepare them for release. the latest on prisons. the aircraft maker, boeing, has agreed to plead guilty and pay a fine to resolve a us

justice department investigation into two fatal crashes involving its 737 max aircraft. the near identical crashes took place within months of each other in indonesia and ethiopia in 2018 and 2019. for more on the background to all of this here's my colleague sally bundock. us prosecutors recommended the department ofjustice bring criminal charges against boeing following these two crashes in 2018 and 2019 on which all passengers and crew died. basically boeing is charged with violating a deal meant to reform it after these two fatal crashes. so the idea is it has agreed to plead guilty in this deal, which means it then avoids a further trial which could be very difficult in the sense it would have to be revealing all sorts of information about what was going on at the time of these crashes. the families have come forward since their statement was made, to say, we are not happy about this

plea deal at all, we don't believe it is fair, we believe boeing is getting off the hook here. and therefore they are going to fight this agreement that has been brokered between us prosecutors, the department ofjustice and boeing. and this, of course, has come at a very difficult time for boeing. at the beginning of this year, one of its aircraft, which was an alaska airlines plane, it was a boeing max plane, the door blew off injanuaryjust shortly after take—off. fortunately no—one was injured in that particular instance. but since then the manufacturing side of boeing, its processes and how it works has been under close scrutiny. and the ceo has said he will resign soon, dave calhoun, they are looking for a new boss. more than 50 million people in the united states are on heat alert, as the west of the country experiences a record breaking heatwave. las vegas recorded its highest temperatures on record yesterday, and death valley in california is bracing for the same in the next few days. thomas magill has more. blistering hot temperatures

in death valley, where the record for the hottest place on earth is expected to be broken during this unprecedented heatwave. it's already delivered temperatures of more than 130 degrees, and that's been drawing thrillseekers to the area. how many people in the world can say they've been to the hottest place in the world? i feel, like, a weird sense of pride in it, like being an adventure that i can handle. i've been in northern vermont in the wintertime in —20 and now i've been in the hottest place in the world. honestly, it's definitely shocking. i don't know how anything can survive out here. i but experts are warning the extremely hot temperatures, which are currently affecting around 36 million americans, could lead to heat stress. one visitor to the area died on sunday from heat exposure, and this so—called heat dome remains over california. there's no mistaking how hot it is. you start to feel it on your skin, in your eyes —

they start to dry, start to almost hurt a little bit over time. so it is quite the experience. that's why we really recommend that visitors minimize their exposure if they are coming to death valley in the summer. firefighters are continuing to battle wildfires across parts of california, as temperatures soar in nevada and death valley — already the hottest place on earth after 134 degrees was recorded there in 1913. scientists say it's hard to link individual weather events to climate change but say extreme events are becoming more common and more intense. thomas magill, bbc news. incredible pictures there from las vegas _ incredible pictures there from las vegas. let's check on the weather details _ vegas. let's check on the weather details here and join elizabeth.

the pressure down towards the south—west, the wind is very slack for most of the country, but they will strengthen across south—west england along with heavy rain by the end of the day. it is cloudy for southern england and south wales, patchy rain here. a scattering of showers across scotland and northern ireland, particularly towards the east. in the best of this engine, we could see 20 or 21 celsius, no such luck for wimbledon. temperatures in the high teens today and tomorrow with the chance of some shares, possibly longer spells of rain, quite a bit of cloud and two. overnight, we are likely to see this heavy rain gradually track its way further

northwards, particularly high rainfall totals across parts of the moors than south—west. that reaches northern england and wales in time for tomorrow morning. drugs in some humid air behind it, so we marinate in the south, but cooler with some clear spells and largely dry across much of scotland and northern ireland. then the area of low pressure continues to push further northwards as we head through the day on tuesday. the rain will eventually reach notjust northern england but northern ireland and into southern and central areas of scotland, eastern scotland by the end of the day will see more of an easterly when tickled. in that warmer more humid air towards the south, we could see some brighter breaks, perhaps at times, but lots of cloud and some of this engine could help to trigger off if your sharp showers here and there totals of any best of any brightness, we will get to 20 celsius. maybe as high as 22, but a lot cooler further north. with across eastern scotland, they will be a lot more heavy rain here as we head through wednesday. then that feature starts to drift its way

southwards as we head through thursday. possibly more heavy rain across the south of england, particularly into the south—east as we head through the course of friday and saturday. we will see temperatures drop to below the seasonal average. goodbye for now.

live from london. this is bbc news. kyiv�*s main childrens hospital is hit during a major wave of russian air strikes targeting five ukrainian cities, killing at least 31 people. the hospital treats children with cancer and other serious illnesses —

kyiv�*s mayor calls the attack �*genocide'. in a letter to democrats in congress, president biden states his firm commitment to beating donald trump , he promises to remain in the race. in other news — in her first speech , focussing on housebuilding, the new chancellor said the labour government has inherited "14 years of chaos and economic irresponsibility". the prime minister, sir keir starmer, has been in wales — as he tours the uk — following his visit to belfast this morning. and france is facing political deadlock as left and centrist parties relegate the far—right national rally to third place in parliamentary elections hello and welcome to bbc news. let's start in ukraine.

russia has carried out a massive and deadly bombardment of ukrainian cities, a day before a major nato summit begins in washington. 31 people have been killed and dozens more wounded. in kyiv — ukraine's biggest children's hospital was hit in a rare daytime attack. these are the live pictures of what the scene looks like now. ukraine said a cruise missile was used, something russia denies. medical staff and emergency services have been trying to clear the rubble by hand. child patients were moved outside, some even still rigged up to drips. a separate medical centre was also hit. kyiv�*s mayor, vitaliy klitschko, called it "one of the worst attacks" his city has seen since the start of the war. in total, five cities are thought to have been targeted. including president volodymyr zelensky�*s hometown of dnipro. the mayor of kyiv, vitali klitschko, has been speaking to my colleague lucy hockings. have a listen. it's not special operation. it's not the war. it's genocide of

population in ukraine. it's right now the whole world see how russian missiles and kamikaze drones killed ukrainian citizens. our peaceful city is right now. the children's hospitals will be hitting with from, uh, russian missiles. we don't know exactly the numbers of the people who will be killed and injuries. right now, we're saving people from the rubble of the buildings, and, uh, we're working right now. and we know the numbers of people who is injured and skills is big. uh, right now, 66 people, receive, uh, heavy injuries. uh, we don't know exactly the numbers, how many people killed because i told we saving right now the people from rubble of the buildings. and it's a big tragedy for one more tragedy for our hometown, for capital of ukraine. mayor klitschko, i need to get your response straightaway to what we are hearing from the russian defence ministry, who says that allegations that it

has deliberately targeted civilian infrastructure are absolutely untrue. and they say this destruction is caused by the fall of the ukrainian air defence missile launched from an anti—aircraft missile system within the city. from what you've seen, what has happened at the hospital? please don't listen to russian propaganda. they always find excuses. they always try an explanation. it's not the war. it's special operation. they destroy the critical infrastructure of our hometown and explain, the, they tried to hit, uh, the military objects. it's not true. it's, uh, three years long. the russians destroyed ukraine. putin need ukraine as property, as ukrainian he don't need. and that's why i call that genocide

of ukrainian population. we also heard from the founder of ukraine's largest charity for children with cancer — which advocated for the opening of the hospital. they spoke to us from near the site that was hit. there was a direct strike in one of the departments, the department of toxicology. where kids with the sikh kidney malfunction are on dialysis. we know that there are lots of people still under the rubble and there is at least one confirmed casualties from the personnel and a couple of severely injured doctors. there are hundreds of people over their plan to clear the rubble, trying to bring in some water, some speed —— involved —— summerfeed. they are trying to collect more

money, i was actually a way for a short vacation. my sun for a year and a half stayed in kyiv with my husband. luckily, he was at nursery and my husband was at work and luckily they were not there when it happened. because the flat was about 70 metres from the hospitals and we still don't know if our apartment is ok because i can't reach my home, the ways are close. everything has been blocked by the police. some waiting to when we will be allowed to come there. our reporter olga malchevska, who has been to this hospital says it is one of the biggest and important hospitals in the region. the latest is that the identity of one of people killed there has been confirmed as she is a female doctor in the children's doctor tough. ——

children's doctor. it is confirmed that the doctor has been killed in the attack as she is one of two adults confirmed killed in the hospitaljust in that children's hospital and also, we are hearing about at least seven people killed in the maternity hospital in another part of kyiv. altogether, they're at at least 20 people killed confirmed just in kyiv and the rescue operation continues in the operation as you can see if there life pictures and people believe there are still people who could be under the debris. some of the ukrainian psychologist sums recommendations issue for those who are under the rubble and it is widely quoted in ukrainian media, basically they are giving advice, please call for help as loudly as you can but please don't move because obviously, this situation for them can be very dangerous if they tried to move.

that is really terrifying as we continue to see those life pictures you can see all of this people moving some of the bricks, the debris by hand. there is no machinery there but as you were saying, this is such a delicate operation. this is the main children's hospital in kyiv, in ukraine, tell me more about that. because it is well known, everyone would know exactly as location, including the russians so tell me more about the hospital? that including the russians so tell me more about the hospital?- including the russians so tell me more about the hospital? that is the bi est and more about the hospital? that is the biggest and main — more about the hospital? that is the biggest and main children's - more about the hospital? that is the biggest and main children's hospital| biggest and main children's hospital in the country, it is famous. it has been famous for its amazing skill set, they have been performing brain surgery is, very complicated operations, cancer treatments. they have been rescuing children from the front line, children from all over ukraine but also, that hospital has been famous from the former years ——

siren and he still continued to take those pictures and people there have been facing an impossible choice. they have to take shelter immediately and there is no shelter and there is no possibility to run away. so what's russia saying about this? a short time ago, we spoke to our russia editor steve rosenberg. a short while ago the russian defence ministry issued a statement denying this. they said the russian military issued strikes at ukrainian airbases. temperatures to civilian sites have been —— damage to civilian sites has been caused by ukrainian air defence systems. if russia hadn't been fired missiles in the first visit, then ukraine would not be deployed is air defence

system to be shooting them down. this very much feels that one of them days where you feel the chasm between appearance and reality. on friday, i was at the kremlin when victor orban flew in for tools with vladimir putin and i was in the room where putin was talking about how committed he was for a diplomatic resolution of the ukraine conflict. you also there but his so—called peace agreement and here we are some death later with these deadly attacks on ukraine.— death later with these deadly attacks on ukraine. let's look at the wider picture. _ let's look at the wider picture. earlier, i spoke with our diplomatic correspondent, james landale, about the attack. he described it as a wake—up call to world leaders, ahead of the nato summit later this week. this will has not gone away, ukraine is very much on the back foot. ukraine has suffered as a result of the slowdown in western support, military support is over the last six months. a long delay before —— remember the long delay before the

americans decided to renew military support. that means ukraine has not got what it needed, it is still struggling to get enough shells to maintain its defence in the east. so, a reminder that if the well is —— world needed a reminder ukraine is inclined dealing back incredibly vulnerable. you is inclined dealing back incredibly vulnerable. ., . ., vulnerable. you want to underline exactly what _ vulnerable. you want to underline exactly what you _ vulnerable. you want to underline exactly what you said. _ vulnerable. you want to underline exactly what you said. in - vulnerable. you want to underline exactly what you said. in terms i vulnerable. you want to underline exactly what you said. in terms of them are trying to get some sort of optic turnaround, greater speed to all the things that have been promised, where are we? there is a rocess promised, where are we? there is a process under— promised, where are we? there is a process under way _ promised, where are we? there is a process under way to _ promised, where are we? there is a process under way to try _ promised, where are we? there is a process under way to try and - promised, where are we? there is a i process under way to try and improve delivery from what the americans and the promises and commitments they have made earlier this year and it is really the americans that matter. they are the fundamental and substantial military supporters and they are the ones who have the greatest actors. they need time to deliver, some of them it is

complicated. america will say we were going to give air defences two and country but we are going to change a contract and give them to you. president zelensky is going to be there, they are going to have to make some kind of fresh commitment. there is going to be a lot of language when ukraine might in the future... but to what kyiv is looking for is more practical support in the short term that has been put into stark relief... {lit been put into stark relief... of course, the uk has got a new government and the uk defence secretary has been at their meeting with ukrainian president. iottoihoett secretary has been at their meeting with ukrainian president.— with ukrainian president. what has been really interesting _ with ukrainian president. what has been really interesting is _ with ukrainian president. what has been really interesting is that i with ukrainian president. what has been really interesting is that the i been really interesting is that the labour government in the uk has been promising a continuity policy. the policy will not change regardless of the change of political colours. what they are trying to do is try to promise more military support, as he said, this early visit —— mccluskey

bernd debusmann in washington. what does it tell us for biden to say i am not going to drop out of this race? 1 say i am not going to drop out of this race? ~ say i am not going to drop out of this race?— this race? i think it tells us 'ust how this race? i think it tells us 'ust tow fl this race? i think it tells us 'ust how serious he i this race? i think it tells us 'ust how serious he is i this race? i think it tells us 'ust how serious he is taking i this race? i think it tells usjust how serious he is taking these | how serious he is taking these calls, many of which have been private to step down as a candidate. in a letter to lawmakers and a subsequent frankel to msnbc, it he noted —— a frank frankel, he noted that people chose him as a democratic nominee which makes him by far the de presumptive candidate. he says it is up to the democratic voters to choose the nominee, not up to other lawmakers all pundits or the media. is making sure it is about the democratic voters and being quite dismissive of these concerns, some of which has been getting louder and louder to step down as a candidate.— getting louder and louder to step down as a candidate. there is one line that stood _ down as a candidate. there is one line that stood up _ down as a candidate. there is one line that stood up out _ down as a candidate. there is one

kind of rallied around the president for now. we will see what lawmakers and senior democrats if they would join the cause to fear him to step down. he doesn't seem to be shown any indication of take is because seriously. t any indication of take is because seriousl . ,, , any indication of take is because seriousl. ,, , , , seriously. i guess there is because seriousl . seriously. i guess there is because seriously- i— seriously. i guess there is because seriously. i guess _ seriously. i guess there is because seriously. i guess they _ seriously. i guess there is because seriously. i guess they read i seriously. i guess there is because seriously. i guess they read 70 i seriously. i guess they read 70 people had their eyes focus on washington, there's always a story thatis washington, there's always a story that is public facing and what is actually going on behind the scenes in ny trying to work that out. in terms ofjoe biden, who is a taking counsel from ? terms ofjoe biden, who is a taking counsel from? he terms of joe biden, who is a taking counsel from?— counsel from? he will certainly be takint counsel from? he will certainly be taking counsel _ counsel from? he will certainly be taking counsel from _ counsel from? he will certainly be taking counsel from senior- counsel from? he will certainly be i taking counsel from senior members of the campaign, senior advisers in his campaign and other lawmakers. in a letter he sent to lawmakers, he said he had already met and spoken to many lawmakers, that he had taken those calls and he had heard them. in some ways, he is appreciative of them and saying they were indicative of his long career in public service. but, at the end of the day, this is very much his decision and

“p this is very much his decision and up until we get into the democratic primary, the convention weather in august, i think it would be having a close circle of his closest family members, his closest advisers and the senior most democrats here in washington. but at the end of the day, he made it clear that this would be his decision.- day, he made it clear that this would be his decision. that's the latest their— would be his decision. that's the latest their acts _ would be his decision. that's the latest their acts washington. i would be his decision. that's the latest their acts washington. a i latest their acts washington. a fascinating try to actually gauge what is going on. thank you very much for the latest. let's turn to the political situation here. 300/300 mps have been settling in westminster. let me show you the pictures of the new mps. massive

smile, great excitement among states for amongst all the new mps but is an element of trepidation as well. let's go back to westminster and our client little correspondence. next, they will all feel there is a sort of well went, a visit to actually get through in these early hours and days? get through in these early hours and da s? , , days? yes they will. i will tell ou, days? yes they will. i will tell you. matthew _ days? yes they will. i will tell you, matthew i _ days? yes they will. i will tell you, matthew i have - days? yes they will. i will tell you, matthew! have been i days? yes they will. i will tell. you, matthew! have been here days? yes they will. i will tell i you, matthew! have been here for you, matthew i have been here for eight years in parliament and it is very easy to get lost. it is a lot of working things out to be done. to paint the picture i am in westminster hall which is where mps arrive and they abide it up with someone who is wanted for a while and they're given a tour the estate. they are given an ipad and an e—mail address and if you have told me they get a lot of e—mails very quickly from lobbies. there are also given a security briefing and panic alarms, such as the state of the —— given the state of the security situation

also the week where former mps, the ones who lost their season on thursday are clearing out their offices. there is almost a strange juxtaposition here today of the delighted new politicians and the glamour of the politicians who are leaving parliament for the last time. just a put your picture of what goes on behind the scenes here, i was over in portcullis house chatting to one of the new mp for the labour party, and mba from the labour party who just lost their seats came over, the tone two of them had a chat and wish each other well. although you normally see mps going at each other in this place and often trying to tear it apart politically... t and often trying to tear it apart politically- - -— and often trying to tear it apart politically... i think we have lost the land there. _ politically... i think we have lost the land there. apologies i politically... i think we have lost the land there. apologies for i politically... i think we have lost i the land there. apologies for that but nick was reallyjust describing what it is like there is more of

more that were not getting enough money from england to spend on our struggling nhs. they will need to be done because when the senate election comes up into two years' time, wash labour will be up again to form gusts in popularity polls is not doing very well. we have seen... there will be looking to take seas, it is a proportional representation system here in wales, said they will no doubt get a couple of seats here in words. really, there is two years at fort layabout to have some sort of beast in wales and as you mentioned, the nhs will be critical for that. mentioned, the nhs will be critical forthat. it mentioned, the nhs will be critical for that. it highs of all the parties, they will be able to decrease the waiting list here in wales but actually the nhs is devolved in wales, those decisions and policies are made by the welsh government. so how exactly would that work well? we haven't had any details but we will wait and see.

thanks. now it's time for a look at the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there, good afternoon. still some very unsettled conditions weather—wise across the uk as we head through the rest of this week. there's yet more heavy rain to come in the forecast, although it won't be raining all the time. lots of dry weather too. some rather warm and humid air moving in from the south through the day tomorrow. for today, the best of the sunshine, bluest of the skies will be across northern england. this is where we will also see the highest of the temperatures. low pressure down towards the south—west. the winds are very slack for most of the country, but they will strengthen across south—west england, along with some heavy rain by the end of the day. it is cloudy for southern england and south wales. patchy rain here. a scattering of showers across scotland and northern ireland, particularly towards the east. best of the sunshine in northern england, but still the chance of one or two showers here. in the best of that sunshine we could see 20 or 21 celsius. no such luck, though, for wimbledon. temperatures in the high teens today and tomorrow, with the chance of some showers, possibly some longer spells of rain. quite a bit of cloud around at times too.

overnight tonight we're likely to see this heavy rain just gradually track its way further northwards. particularly high rainfall totals across parts of the moors in the south—west. that rain reaches northern england and north wales in time for tomorrow morning. it drags in some rather humid air behind it, so a mild night in the south, but cooler with some clear spells and largely dry across much of scotland and northern ireland. that area of low pressure continues to push further northwards as we head through the day on tuesday. the rain will eventually reach, notjust northern england, but northern ireland, into southern and central areas of scotlandand eastern scotland by the end of the day. we will see more of an easterly wind start to take hold here. in that warmer, more humid air towards the south we could see some brighter breaks perhaps at times, but lots of cloud and some of the sunshine could help to trigger off a few sharp showers here and there too. in the best of any brightness we'll get to 20 celsius, maybe as high as 22, but a lot cooler further north. with that easterly wind across eastern scotland, there will be a lot more heavy rain here as we head through wednesday. then that feature starts to drift its way further southwards as we head through thursday, with possibly more heavy rain across the south of england, particularly into the south—east as we head through the course

of friday and saturday. we will see temperatures drop to below the seasonal average. bye—bye for now.

this is bbc news, the headlines... russia's latest barrage of missile attacks on ukraine has killed dozens of people, including at a children's hospital in kyiv. despite more senior democrats urging him to drop out. president biden insists in a letter that he'll stay in the us presidential race "to the end". in her first speech, focussing on housebuilding, the new chancellor said the labour government has inherited "14 years of chaos and economic irresponsibility". the prime minister, sir keir starmer, has been in wales as he tours the uk, following his visit to belfast this morning. and france is facing political deadlock as left and centrist parties relegate the far—right national rally to third place in parliamentary elections.

let's return to ukraine and at the seams we have seen right in the heart of kyiv, the children's hospital that was hit. these are the pictures from earlier and you can see the scale of the damage. the un security council, _ see the scale of the damage. the un security council, it _ see the scale of the damage. the un security council, it is _ see the scale of the damage. the un security council, it is being _ security council, it is being reported, will meet tomorrow over this attack on the main children's hospital, according to the uk mission to the un. so an instant response from the international community. and they also say ukraine's prosecutor general says they will cooperate with the international criminal court on an investigation of the russian strikes of monday. so a twin development there that the prosecutor general in ukraine will work with the icc on investigating the scenes and similarly, the un security council will meet tomorrow to discuss what we have seen there. we know that at least 31 people killed and, of

course, the search for more survivors under that rubble at the children's hospital in kyiv. those are some of the latest lines coming into us from ukraine. more on that a little later. let's turn to the aftermath of the general election here. as we heard earlier, the chancellor, rachel reeves, has promised the government will work to boost the uk's ecomomic growth — so what might that look like? nina warhurst has been to one cafe in greater manchester to find out what families and small businesses are hoping for. getting the economy moving is a journey — and it starts with a basic bread and butter issue. people just aren't spending like they used to. yeah, i have noticed a lot of change. obviously the amount of money people use to spend on their drinks and food has gone down an awful lot recently. james, his son braith and kim rely on a food charity to get by. still working in her late 605, this

is not where kim expected to be. pensioners use it, young people use it, all sorts of families, because nobody is getting any help, and i'm just hoping that the new chancellor will be helping. braith needs his dad's full—time care but they say state support left them homeless for 18 months. it's got increasingly difficult, very hard now. really, we've never been as poor as we are right now. it's terribly difficult. this chair that i'm in right now, we had to finance through the community. this was paid through the kindness of strangers. we'd just like to be treated with a bit of respect, even if they don't give us more cash. they told us it was going to be ten months first to get a wheelchair and i was going to be bedbound for ten months. voters were clear on thursday, they are ready for a change. but for the chancellor's vision to work, well, she will have to be sure that investors and businesses

are on board too. so far, private investors seem to have taken this new government very much in stride. in fact, we saw the ftse 250, which is the home of the more domestically—focused listed companies in the uk, we saw that up on friday following the election victory, which just suggests that investors are tentatively confident, they are ready to engage with labour and rachel reeves. the weeks ahead will be crucial. signalling change is one thing — arriving at the right destination is another. nina warhurst, bbc news. that is the economy. another of the government's challenges is prison overcrowding. the home secretary yvette cooper says there isn't a quick fix. she's been talking about neighbourhood crime and anti—social behaviour at a police station in south london. earlier, i spoke to mark icke, vice president of the prison governors association, and cassia rowland, a senior researcher at the institute

for government, specialising in criminaljustice, the courts and prisons. i asked them about the current state of the prison system. the situation in prisons is really acute at the moment and there's going to need to be some pretty strong and swift action taken, i think, to address that. mark? yeah, absolutely agree. there's lots to do at the moment, but there's an absolute priority and that's sorting out the position we're in at the moment with not many spaces left in our custody environments. so let's talk about how you address that. mark, in your view, what should the next immediate steps be? because we know building prisons, all of that takes a very long time. no quick fix there. so what should we be doing in the intervening time? yeah, absolutely. so we recently wrote to all the party leaders prior to the election and we were very, very clear that there's much to do. we need complete reform of our system. but the right thing to do right now

is the sentencing reform. we really need to give clarity to the public so they know exactly what to expect if the police arrest people and to make sure that they feel safe, that there somewhere for those people to end up in. cassia, in your view, are the key decisions to make in the coming months? there needs to be an immediate decision, and then there needs to be some longer—term reforms and kind of an approach to how you can address the situation longer term. you haven't got time to do that right now, the situation is so acute. so i think the first decision is how do we manage the immediate capacity crisis and make sure that we free up enough space to give ourselves time to do some of that longer work, whatever that is, whether it's building new prisons, whether it's reforming sentencing or doing more community sentences, things like that.

you need to make sure that there's time to embed that properly. freeing up space, though, you immediately hit the obvious criticism — i've seen it already in the last 24 hours, which is people making the point that you're allowing criminals to walk the streets. i mean, how do you navigate that as a backdrop? i think it's really challenging. i've had a lot of people on twitter making this point to me already. you need to... i think the way to understand it is that it's necessary to make sure that we are keeping prison space available for the most serious offenders or the highest—risk people, so those people who really need to be outside the community for public protection reasons or because they've committed very serious offences. so you're kind of safeguarding prison spaces and custody for those people, and that may mean that you need to do some prioritisation and make some decisions that will be quite politically uncomfortable,

i think, for the new government. yes. mark, in terms of that is one area that, exactly as cassia is saying, some uncomfortable decisions, but there are broader decisions to make in terms of conditions inside many of our prisons, which are absolutely dire, aren't they? yeah, some of the conditions that were seen at the moment, yeah, some of the conditions that ——we're seeing at the moment, we've had such a lack of investment from successive governments, so some of the accommodation is clearly unfit or where we would want to house people in order to give them the right environment where change is possible. it starts with a decent environment, doesn't it, and living conditions, because that's what we expect as a society. sojust because we put some of these people in custody doesn't mean we shouldn't do that. so if we can get the conditions right, we can get some investment into the maintaining what we've currently got, the current stock, that would be really useful. what do you make of the appointment ofjames timpson

as prisons minister? because we've got a picture of him there on the screen and his company — of course, people may know this, may not know this — have done a lot of work around rehabilitation, and i was looking only the last couple of days at one of their adverts saying, "if you're a former prisoner and you're going for a job interview, we will dry clean your suit for free". it is a very, very interesting appointment, isn't it? yeah, i think it is really interesting. it sends quite a clear signal, i think, about the direction that the new government wants to go in, in terms of rehabilitation and in particular the emphasis on probation and kind of the post—release point, because we talk quite a lot about prisons, but the missing part in the conversation is really on probation, i think. that's really struggling as well, and you need a strong probation system to kind of manage the people as they're leaving prison. so i think that's really interesting and we'll see how he settles in to westminster. what did you make of that appointment?

because he's been made a peer, so goes into the house of lords before taking up this role. i think he's said before, in the last little while that this country is "addicted to punishment" so what do you make of his appointment and perhaps what it indicates about future direction? i was really surprised by the appointment, but one we really welcome. it creates a bit of hope. personally, i had a chance to meet withjames in prison and talk to him about his views. of course, he's been part of the prison reform trust as well previously and so he knows his way around. what we are excited about, though, is that the noises we're hearing is that he's here for some time because, as you'll know, and your viewers will know, the last 14 years we've seen so many secretaries of state and so many prison ministers, what we need now is some stability, a chance to build those relationships with our ministers, talk to them about what the future looks like and hopefully see some output at the other end. so, yeah, really, really buoyed by the appointment ofjames and really looking forward to working with him again.

a quick ten seconds each from both of you. do you need substantial investment to do all of these things that you're talking about? cassia? i don't think you do. if you're reducing the prison population, that should be saving you money in the long term, so there's economic arguments for it as well. mark? yeah, i think we do need some kind of investment, definitely in the stock, but also in our ability to run decent programmes in custody for those that we're currently holding to prepare them for release. the prison system. the new prime minister has stressed that work will start straightaway to fix the nhs after labour's victory. the new heath secretary wes streeting has described the nhs as "broken". earlier i spoke to thea stein, chief executive of the nuffield trust, a think tank focused on health policy — she gave me her take on the health secretary's assessment. oh, i've thought about this a lot and i think there are two types of broken things. there are broken things that you throw away, they're not useful any more, and there are broken

things that you mend. i think what he's describing is a situation that's the latter. he's describing an nhs that has lots of broken pieces, but he's also describing a real commitment to mending it and a real optimism that it can be mended and i think that's that's correct. i think it's a good place to start an honest conversation. i think that it's important to remain currently optimistic about the enthusiasm and the approach that they're taking, which is thoughtful, it is considerate. i'm very impressed by the fact that his first visit today is to primary care. the government has said that they wish to see a shift of resource from hospitals to primary and community services. we often see health secretaries going and visiting a hospital. let's be positive about the fact that we're seeing this secretary going to primary care. there is a loss of confidence in primary care, a quite remarkable one that we've seen in the british social attitudes survey.

a bigger shift than we've seen ever before. so this government is really going to have to show a commitment to primary and community services. it's my turn from uk politics to the situation in france. —— let's turn. france is facing political deadlock after the final round of voting in snap parliamentary elections. this time, there was a victory for the left—wing new popular front alliance, which pushed the far—right national rally into third place. in practice, it means that no party now has a majority and a mandate to govern, in a country that has a big summer ahead. our correspondent in paris, hugh schofield, has the story. it's less than three weeks till the olympics and paris is abuzz with preparation. truth is, the games have been rather eclipsed of late by the small matter of who's going to run the country. a day after elections to the national assembly, which saw the far—right disappointed, the left triumphant

and the centre holding up, it's totally unclear which lot is going to be in charge. the thing about the french parliament, like westminster, is that it was designed for a two—party system — one party in, one party out in opposition. but what happens when there are three political blocs all roughly the same size, none of which can command a majority in the house and none of which wants to form an alliance with either of the others? answer — deadlock. last night, it was the left—wing new popular front that celebrated across the country. they want to name the next prime minister but they can't govern unless they form a deal with the centre, which would mean abandoning their manifesto. something, somewhere will have to give. this is an unprecedented situation in france in the fifth republic, this is really the first time it has happened. so can we learn the art of compromise, which is so unusual for us? i hope so. nobody knows this morning.

this morning, prime minister gabriel attal came to the elysees to offer his resignation — a formality which president macron declined. so the old government stays for now, desperately seeking a new coalition and, in the meantime, oh, yes, running those games. hugh schofield, bbc news, paris. in the past few hours, the national rally leader jordan bardella has been speaking and he was asked if he takes personal responsibility for the results in the second round of voting. translation: yes, of| course i'll play my part. i have a role in the victories as in the defeats. i was head of our movement during the european elections and we won the european elections. today we have the largest delegation within the ep. yesterday's results were not the results that we were hoping for. these results, of course, are results that i have a part in. i did play a role in this.

we will be live in paris in the coming minutes to get the latest after their election results. first, though, military personnel are repeatedly exposed to loud noises, such as gunfire and bombing, during their careers. but despite claims made by veterans who experience hearing loss, the ministry of defence has previously argued that other sources of noise were to blame or that individuals should have worn protection. but as our correspondent tom symonds explains, the mod has now shifted its position. acoustic experts say that hearing a single military weapon fired can damage your hearing. and of course, anyone who has served in the ministry, in afghanistan and iraq, for example, will have heard guns, bombs, vehicles such as helicopters and tanks and armoured vehicles, they may have heard rockets fired or been attacked by mortars. all of which can be very damaging to

hearing. the government has spent ten years in the courts, sometimes agreeing to claims from servicemen and women, but sometimes saying they should not be paid compensation because the government argued it did not have a duty of care to those service personnel. it said, for example, that they should have worn hearing protection, which they were provided with. that has all changed at the court this morning. government lawyers have accepted the general point that the government has a duty of care to service people who may have lost their hearing or had their hearing damage. and also that they can bring claims come up to 10,000 may do so. so what of that argument that the service personnel in combat situations could wear hearing protection? well, bernie barnett served in afghanistan and iraq and told me what that was like and whether he could, indeed, wear earplugs. tit and whether he could, indeed, wear ear-tlus.' ., , and whether he could, indeed, wear ear-tlus. ., , ,~' earplugs. 14 of my friends killed,

so many more — earplugs. 14 of my friends killed, so many more maimed. - earplugs. 14 of my friends killed, so many more maimed. and i earplugs. 14 of my friends killed, i so many more maimed. and beauty's. so if you then get engaged by the enemy, whether that is an ied, interactive either, a burst of automatic fire, the last thing you have time to do is think about your hearing, your main concern is those on the ground with you. find hearing, your main concern is those on the ground with you. and staying alive. and staying _ on the ground with you. and staying alive. and staying alive, _ on the ground with you. and staying alive. and staying alive, yes. - alive. and staying alive, yes. barney barnett, a former commando who served in afghanistan and iraq. around 5000 veterans have cases been taken and another a500 have cases with separate law firms. they could see the cases progressed to where they get payment. they will have to be one or two trials in this long process of compensation for veterans of military hearing loss, but generally lawyers say that the government accepting these principles that it will play condensation will mean that these

cases are over and done with as soon as possible. the ballot has opened today for workers at amazon to decide whether they want to be represented by a trade union. it would be the first time the online giant recognised a trade union for its staff in the uk. a0% of workers at the coventry site would have to vote in favour for the gmb union to represent them. amazon says it values a "direct relationship" with its employees. aircraft maker boeing has agreed to pay pleaded guilty and pay a fine involving two fatal crashes involving two fatal crashes involving its 77 mags aircraft. a near identical aircraft places took place within months of each other in 2018 and 2019. for more in the background, here is my colleague.

us prosecutors recommended the department ofjustice bring criminal charges against boeing following these two crashes in 2018 and 2019 on which all passengers and crew died. basically boeing is charged with violating a deal meant to reform it after these two fatal crashes. so the idea is it has agreed to plead guilty in this deal, which means it then avoids a further trial which could be very difficult in the sense it would have to be revealing all sorts of information about what was going on at the time of these crashes. the families have come forward since their statement was made, to say, we are not happy about this plea deal at all, we don't believe it is fair, we believe boeing is getting off the hook here. and therefore they are going to fight this agreement that has been brokered between us prosecutors, the department ofjustice and boeing. and this, of course, has come at a very difficult time for boeing. at the beginning of this year, one of its aircraft, which was an alaska airlines plane,

it was a boeing max plane, the door blew off injanuaryjust shortly after take—off. fortunately no—one was injured in that particular instance. but since then the manufacturing side of boeing, its processes and how it works has been under close scrutiny. and the ceo has said he will resign soon, dave calhoun, they are looking for a new boss. more than 50 million people in the united states are on heat alert, as the west of the country experiences a record breaking heatwave. las vegas recorded its highest temperatures on record yesterday, and death valley in california is bracing for the same in the next few days. thomas magill has more. blistering hot temperatures in death valley, where the record for the hottest place on earth is expected to be broken during this unprecedented heatwave. it's already delivered temperatures of more than 130 degrees, and that's been drawing thrillseekers to the area. how many people in the world can say they've been to the hottest place in the world?

i take, like, a weird sense of pride in it, like being an adventure that i can handle. i've been in northern vermont in the wintertime in —20 and now i've been in the hottest place in the world. honestly, it's definitely shocking. i don't know how anything can survive out here. - but experts are warning the extremely hot temperatures, which are currently affecting around 36 million americans, could lead to heat stress. one visitor to the area died on sunday from heat exposure, and this so—called heat dome remains over california. there's no mistaking how hot it is. you start to feel it on your skin, in your eyes — they start to dry, start to almost hurt a little bit over time. so it is quite the experience. that's why we really recommend that visitors minimize their exposure if they are coming to death valley in the summer. firefighters are continuing to battle wildfires across parts of california, as temperatures soar in nevada and death valley —

already the hottest place on earth after 13a degrees was recorded there in 1913. scientists say it's hard to link individual weather events to climate change but say extreme events are becoming more common and more intense. thomas magill, bbc news. we will check on the weather any moment, but here is the scene alive in ukraine. it has been like this since this morning's attack on the children's hospital, emergency services still going through the rubble for survivors. the prosecutor general in ukraine has discussed this with the international criminal court and they are sending all information and evidence about the attacks on kyiv to the icc prosecutor. at least 36 people feared to have been killed in that wave of attacks. nato secretary

generaljens stoltenberg also describing it as a heinous attack, condemning it at the nato summit we will see in the next day or so and we will make decisions to strengthen our support further to ukraine and russia must understand they are not able to wait those out. we need to sit down and accept a solution where ukraine prevails as a sovereign, independent nation. it really clear line from the nato secretary general. president zelensky of ukraine again underlining that ukraine again underlining that ukraine needs all of that support, air defences and all the rest of it, as an urgent priority for the west. many, many minds scratching months things on the line again, but again... more on that any moment. now it's time for a look at the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there, good afternoon. still some very unsettled conditions weather—wise across the uk as we head through the rest of this week.

there's yet more heavy rain to come in the forecast, although it won't be raining all the time. lots of dry weather too. some rather warm and humid air moving in from the south through the day tomorrow. for today, the best of the sunshine, bluest of the skies will be across northern england. this is where we will also see the highest of the temperatures. low pressure down towards the south—west. the winds are very slack for most of the country, but they will strengthen across south—west england, along with some heavy rain by the end of the day. it is cloudy for southern england and south wales. patchy rain here. a scattering of showers across scotland and northern ireland, particularly towards the east. best of the sunshine in northern england, but still the chance of one or two showers here. in the best of that sunshine we could see 20 or 21 celsius. no such luck, though, for wimbledon. temperatures in the high teens today and tomorrow, with the chance of some showers, possibly some longer spells of rain. quite a bit of cloud around at times too. overnight tonight we're likely to see this heavy rain just gradually track its way further northwards. particularly high rainfall totals across parts

of the moors in the south—west. that rain reaches northern england and north wales in time for tomorrow morning. it drags in some rather humid air behind it, so a mild night in the south, but cooler with some clear spells and largely dry across much of scotland and northern ireland. that area of low pressure continues to push further northwards as we head through the day on tuesday. the rain will eventually reach, notjust northern england, but northern ireland, into southern and central areas of scotland and eastern scotland by the end of the day. we will see more of an easterly wind start to take hold here. in that warmer, more humid air towards the south we could see some brighter breaks perhaps at times, but lots of cloud and some of the sunshine could help to trigger off a few sharp showers here and there too. in the best of any brightness we'll get to 20 celsius, maybe as high as 22, but a lot cooler further north. with that easterly wind across eastern scotland, there will be a lot more heavy rain here as we head through wednesday. then that feature starts to drift its way further southwards as we head through thursday, with possibly more heavy rain across the south of england, particularly into the south—east

as we head through the course of friday and saturday. we will see temperatures drop to below the seasonal average. bye—bye for now. live from london. this is bbc news. russia's latest barrage of missile attacks on ukraine has killed dozens of people, including at a children's hospital in kyiv. despite more senior democrats are urging him to drop out, these are the live pictures from the

scene. they will discuss the attack tomorrow. the international criminal court is also being asked to investigate. despite more senior democrats are urging him to drop out, president biden insists in a letter he'll stay in the us presidential race "to the end". the prime minister — sir keir starmer — has been in wales, as he tours the uk following his visit to belfast this morning. he says he's spoken to phone getting about several "pressing issues", —— france is facing political deadlock as left and centrist parties relegate the national rally to third place in their parliamentary elections. hello, i'm matthew amroliwala. russia has carried out a massive and deadly bombardment of ukrainian cities, a day before a major nato summit begins in washington. according to reports, at least 36 people were killed across the country — and dozens more wounded. in kyiv — ukraine's biggest

children's hospital was hit. this was the scene a little earlier. medical staff and emergency services used their hands to clear the rubble — in their desperation to find survivors. they use their hands to clear through the rubble, and they use their hands to clear through the rubble, and that they use their hands to clear through the rubble, and that work they use their hands to clear through the rubble, and that work is still going on. these pictures are of child patients moved outside. some, as you can see, still rigged up some, as you can see, still rigged up two drips. ukraine said a cruise missile was used, something russia denies. in total, five cities are thought to have been targeted. including president volodymyr zelensky�*s hometown. the mayor of kyiv, vitali klitschko, has been speaking to my

colleague lucy hockings — have a listen. it's not a special operation, is not a war, it is the genocide of ukraine. we see how russia killed ukrainian citizens. our peaceful city, right now, children hospital will be hitting with russian missiles. we don't know exactly the number of people who will be killed. we are getting people from the rubble of the buildings. we are working right now and we know the numbers of people who are injured and schools is a big right now. right now, 56 people have injuries. we don't know the exact number of people killed because they are taken people from the rubble of the building. i need to get your spine

straightaway from what you are —— i need to get your response right away from hearing from the russian defence ministry who say claims that russia delivery targeted infrastructure say that this is caused by the failures in the ukrainian air defence missiles and it is untrue. from what you have seen, what has happened at the hospital? please don't listen to russian propaganda, they always find excuses. they always find an explanation. it is not a war, is a special operation. they destroyed critical infrastructure of our hometown and they directly hit military objects. it is not true. it's three years long,

the russians destroyed ukraine. putin needs ukraine as property, us ukrainians he doesn't need, and that is why i call that the genocide of the ukrainian population. our reporter olga malchevska, who has been to this hospital says it is one of the biggest and important hospitals in the region. we see in those live pictures that the searches are continuing but the death toll continues to rise. we have been hearing that the casualties toll increased to at least 22 people killed and over 70 injured. in those numbers grow constantly. it's difficult to say what are the latest numbers on ukraine. we are obviously verifying and listening to what is coming in, the latest. the local authorities confirmed that there has been over 1000 rescue workers attacked in kyiv. and in one of the spots we

managed to deal with fire, so that is all done now but they don't confirm why exactly because obviously they are worried that the kremlin might pick it up and they obviously are scared that it will continue overnight. tell obviously are scared that it will continue overnight.— obviously are scared that it will continue overnight. tell me more about this hospital. _ continue overnight. tell me more about this hospital. you - continue overnight. tell me more about this hospital. you have - continue overnight. tell me more | about this hospital. you have been there, you have visited there. it is there, you have visited there. it is the largest of this type of children's hospital in ukraine. and we have seen some really distressing pictures that were sent to you earlier in the day and some of those children who are suffering from cancer and other major illnesses huddled together with parents, with carers still on drips. i’zre huddled together with parents, with carers still on drips.— carers still on drips. i've been filmin: carers still on drips. i've been filming cancer— carers still on drips. i've been filming cancer treatment - carers still on drips. i've been filming cancer treatment for l filming cancer treatment for children and enormous humanitarian efforts were people have been fundraising for those cancer treatments for ukrainian kids because it is not free in ukraine so parents have to pay for that, which is impossible quite often, so that hospital has been absolutely unique and that is the biggest ukrainian hospitalfor and that is the biggest ukrainian hospital for the children's treatment. they have been helping

children with cancer also they have been helping children with absolutely horrible cases after the front line, let's say, they were performing brain surgeries, very complicated that could never be done somewhere else. at that hospital has been famous around ukraine as well, but also outside ukraine and all of that region, because back in those times, children were taken to that hospital from times, children were taken to that hospitalfrom another times, children were taken to that hospital from another region and obviously, welcome people in ukraine think they believe that the russians know about the hospital as well and that could... know about the hospital as well and that could- - -— that could... terms of flowing about the location — that could... terms of flowing about the location we _ that could... terms of flowing about the location we will _ that could... terms of flowing about the location we will hear _ that could... terms of flowing about the location we will hear a _ that could... terms of flowing about the location we will hear a little - the location we will hear a little later what we're hearing from moscow, but on that point from a very interesting in the last hour or so, we have heard from ukraine because my prosecutor general already having conversations with international criminal court passing on information passing on evidence, because they would like to see this added to an already long list of

charges of breach of international law. �* .., charges of breach of international law. �* .. ., , , charges of breach of international law. ~ .. ., , , ., charges of breach of international law. . �*, charges of breach of international law. and we can assume that it's not difficult to get _ law. and we can assume that it's not difficult to get for _ law. and we can assume that it's not difficult to get for that _ difficult to get for that evidence of our because you mentioned which i received my of children covered, and which i have received from a patellar —— fellow photographer on the ground, he managed to capture those children outside with their parents who literally managed to catch them and bring them outside and that's how they managed to rescue them. that's a life or death emergency to them. those children are linked to the special medical subsumes there can be any delay with receiving their medication and if it is a delay, it can gust lives. qm. is a delay, it can gust lives. 0k, thank you _ once again for taking us through all of that. i mentioned the icc, also worth mentioning some of the un

security council will discuss what we have seen today at the security council tomorrow. that is what we are hearing. what is russia saying about all of this? a short while ago the russian defence ministry issued a statement denying this. they said the russian military issued strikes at ukrainian airbases. it claims that the damage shown in videos damage to civilian sites has been caused by ukrainian air defence systems. if russia hadn't been fired missiles in the first visit, then ukraine would not be deployed is air defence system to be shooting them down. this very much feels that one of them days where you feel the chasm between appearance and reality. on friday, i was at the kremlin when victor orban flew in for tools with vladimir putin

and i was in the room where putin was talking about how committed he was for a diplomatic resolution of the ukraine conflict. you also there but his so—called peace agreement and here we are some death later with these deadly attacks on ukraine. steve rosenberg. i'm with james langdale now. we know what what are the key issues involved here. mani; the key issues involved here. many --eole the key issues involved here. many eo - le will the key issues involved here. many people will infer _ from this that president putin is sending a message to those nato leaders just before they arrived in washington tomorrow. so there might be some messaging from the kremlin. at the same time i think western leaders will, as if they need any more reminder ofjust how devastating this war is to ukraine.

it's been out of the news headlines for some time because there have been elections around the world that have been focused on the middle east, naturally, and yet this bombardment continues on a pretty regular basis. what has happened todayis regular basis. what has happened today is that the hospital has been hit and as a result that has provoked international condemnation elsewhere. but it is a reminder that ukraine simple he does not have the air defence missiles that it needs, and i zelinski when he goes to washington this week will be expecting a lot more commitment from his western allies to rectify that. you said pretty much the same already today and pull in. interesting nato secretary—general saying we will make decisions to further strengthen our support to ukraine. the trouble is that that has been said countless, countless times over the last two years. where are we on the basics of air defences and some of those missile systems that president zelensky has called for? ,, ., , ., ., for? the united states and other

countries have _ for? the united states and other countries have promised - for? the united states and other countries have promised some . for? the united states and other| countries have promised some of them, but as ever, there is many a slick trick and there is a difference between making a commitment to it and actually getting it delivered on the ground. and at the moment, they simply don't just need more air defence missiles, they need more air defence missile systems, and above all the patriot systems, and above all the patriot system that we have spoken about so many times. the problem is that there aren't that many of them in there aren't that many of them in the world, they take a long time to manufacture. other countries have made commitments to buy them all those contracts have to be un—stitched, so it's a slower process than perhaps the ukrainians will want to get these missile delivery systems onto the ground so they can take up the missiles that are destroying and damaging hospitals like this.— are destroying and damaging hositals like this. , ., , . . hospitals like this. james langdale, thank ou hospitals like this. james langdale, thank you very _ hospitals like this. james langdale, thank you very much. _ more in that story a little later on our programme. 1 on our programme. i want to turn from ukraine to the political situation here in the uk after the general election, because rachel reeves

who has promised to make kick—starting economic growth a �*national mission'. she said britain was a place to do business. she also said decisions on large projects will be taken nationally not locally and insisted she wouldn't shy away from difficult decisions. let's have a listen to what she had to say. ililur decisions. let's have a listen to what she had to say. our manifesto was clear. sustained _ what she had to say. our manifesto was clear. sustained economic - what she had to say. our manifesto i was clear. sustained economic growth is the only route to the improved prosperity that our country needs and to improve the living standards of working people. where previous governments have been unwilling to take the difficult decisions to deliver growth or have waited too long to act, i will not hesitate. growth was the labour party's mission in opposition. it is now our national mission. there is no time to waste. this morning, i want to outline the first steps that this

new labour government has taken to fix the foundations of our economy. so we can rebuild britain and make every part of our country better off. ., every part of our country better off. . . , every part of our country better off. . ., , ., . ., every part of our country better off. . ., . ., ., off. that was the chancellor earlier toda . sir off. that was the chancellor earlier today- sir keir _ off. that was the chancellor earlier today. sir keir starmer, _ off. that was the chancellor earlier today. sir keir starmer, he - off. that was the chancellor earlier today. sir keir starmer, he has - off. that was the chancellor earlier| today. sir keir starmer, he has met political leaders in northern ireland during this first week as prime minister. he's been meeting the leaders of the power sharing executive — sinn fein first minister michelle o'neill and the dup's deputy first minister emma little pengelly. the prime minister said his government is committed to improving relations between the uk and ireland — and on brexit, sir keir starmer said he thinks he can get a better deal with the eu than what he called the "botched" deal agreed by borisjohnson. that was northern ireland. the prime minister has also met the first minister of wales in cardiff this afternoon — let's speak to our correspondent there, tomos morgan. take us through the key areas of discussions this will obviously be dominating. the

blast as i mentioned it's at the end of its life cycle and secondly they say they are losing around £1 million a day from operations in the uk, so they can't afford to keep it going. there is no detail yet on what that new deal may be. the business secretary may be meeting on wednesday to discuss the next way forward and negotiated tasks will continue. it does seem kind of unlikely that they will stump up some of the £2.5 billion they said it would put towards uk steeljust to prop up for a couple more months while this new electric is built it will be interesting to see where that money is spent and what that new deal could be.— that money is spent and what that new deal could be. when it comes to mone , of new deal could be. when it comes to money. of course. — new deal could be. when it comes to money, of course, cardiff _ new deal could be. when it comes to money, of course, cardiff have - new deal could be. when it comes to money, of course, cardiff have often| money, of course, cardiff have often blamed westminster when there was a conservative government for lack of funding and they point to that as being the reason behind all the

problems they have for many of the problems they have for many of the problems they have with the nhs and waiting lists in wales. that is not going to be able to fly now you have a labour government in westminster and then doing really well in wales. that's if the reason why sir keir starmer has been travelling around the nations of the last few days really. to be frank, the relationship between them and his predecessor mark drakeford up until recently, was quite frank was just terrible, really, there was no relationship there at times. it had to be reset and now that you have got a labour government, the people of wales will want to see some positive changes in the nhs will be an integral part of that. labour have discussed in their manifestos and talked about wanting to get that nhs waiting list down here. well, the nhs is devolved to cardiff, but as you mentioned, they have often been blaming come of the tories when

they were in powerfor been blaming come of the tories when they were in power for not getting enough money. so they will want to see some changes over the next few years. it took about two years because in two years' time there will be a senate election here, and although labour did very well last friday in wales and across the uk, the popularity is dipping in the polls and they will be facing an up hill battle in time if things don't change. hill battle in time if things don't chance. ., ~ i. hill battle in time if things don't chance. . ~ ., hill battle in time if things don't chance. ., ., ., ., hill battle in time if things don't chance. . . ., ., . change. thank you a lot for that. back to westminster, _ 335 mps have been arriving at westminster for the first time today, navigating the house of commons, setting up their offices and getting used to their new roles. the lib dem leader ed davey has welcomed the party's 72 mps — after winning dozens of new seats in the election. these are the four green mps arriving at westminster earlier this afternoon — you can see the party's co leaders carla denyer and adrian ramsay there. the plaid cymru leader rhun ap iorwerth has been posing with the welsh flag and some of their newly elected mps as they arrived at westminster.

let's speak to our political correspondent nick eardley at westminster. you have been there throughout the course of the day gauging the mood. how many lost mps have you found? i think you can probably see some of them behind me. ithink that's think you can probably see some of them behind me. i think that's the parliamentary labour party coming back into the building after having their meeting just off site a couple of minutes down the road. there are, to answer your question, quite a lot of people getting their head around what is going on, really interesting, a bit of a juxtaposition between all the exciting new mps arriving here and some rather glum xmp is coming to pick up their office. let's stick with the new mps. congratulations first. we thank you so much. how have you found your first day as a liberal democrat mp? an honour to be here, and honour to be sent by the greater good to come and get stuff done and i've wasted no time in

acting. the first thing i did on taking office was right to our local hospital trust demanding that they get our unit reopened for birth and calling for an emergency health and care budget from the health secretary to help with that. ie. care budget from the health secretary to help with that. is not been this busy — secretary to help with that. is not been this busy all— secretary to help with that. is not been this busy all day. _ secretary to help with that. is not been this busy all day. a - secretary to help with that. is not been this busy all day. a lot - secretary to help with that. is not been this busy all day. a lot of. secretary to help with that. is not l been this busy all day. a lot of new mps in the background now. but you are telling me off camera and i hope you don't mind me asking, tell me a bit about your election and your opponent to you beat. because i think you knew the old mp quite well. ., �* , think you knew the old mp quite well. . �* , �* ., think you knew the old mp quite well. . �*, 1, ., , well. that's right. both of us who were standing, _ well. that's right. both of us who were standing, we _ well. that's right. both of us who were standing, we love _ well. that's right. both of us who were standing, we love and - well. that's right. both of us who i were standing, we love and cherish the town and my former supply teacher was my predecessor, so learned a lot in that session when i was age 15. we go way back. let me ask ou was age 15. we go way back. let me ask you about _ was age 15. we go way back. let me ask you about the _ was age 15. we go way back. let me ask you about the politics in - was age 15. we go way back. let me ask you about the politics in here. . ask you about the politics in here. you know how 70 plus mps. as you can see in the background, there are hundreds upon hundreds of labour mps. how are you going to manage to persuade them to do the things you

chancellor, rachel reeves's speech, but she was talking about planning rules. basically we have had the planing row ripped up in the government is going to do everything it can to make sure that new developments go ahead. that is something that some lib dems are pretty sceptical about. what do you think about eastbourne? are you going to welcome these properties? i think we need to see the detail of this policy. liberal democrats are clear that in order to build our way out of the housing crisis, we need to prioritise brownfield sites and we've got to build in the right places and it's got to be the right homes with the right infrastructure. the new mp going to kick off of suddenly central government is saying, no community to build a bunch of new homes in your constituency. i bunch of new homes in your constituency.— bunch of new homes in your constituency. i want to see the riaht constituency. i want to see the right homes — constituency. i want to see the right homes in _ constituency. i want to see the right homes in the _ constituency. i want to see the right homes in the right - constituency. i want to see the right homes in the right placesj constituency. i want to see the - right homes in the right places with the right infrastructure and i will be pushing as well as that liberal democrats for those tests to be met constructively with this government. very quickly because we are about to run out of time, what is the most interesting thing you found out today? i interesting thing you found out toda ? ., ., , ,

the first day of school 50% but also 50% lehman brothers with the exit. all of those people packing up their boxes and departing from westminster today as well. those, the latest pictures coming into us. turning to the us, president biden has promised to remain in the race for november's election. in a letter to democrats in congress, mr biden said he was firmly committed to beating donald trump, despite what he described as speculation in the press. he called on democrats to unite around his re—election bid. this is the american president's latest attempt to quieten critical voices after his lacklustre debate performance. let's go to washington — and speak to our correspondent

anthony zurcher. he said he was not going anywhere, he said he was not going anywhere, he was adamant that he is the best man to be donald trump and he was not going to stand aside and that it was time for those who have been critical of his performance of the debates, those who have been calling on him to step aside to join the team and work together to beach donald trump. democrats are coming back to washington, dc this is the first time that democratic lawmakers are getting face to face time and the potential there is that they will have more heated conversations about what to do aboutjoe biden and whether to have a more forceful push to try to get him to stand aside. that letter was a response to what they are sure some of the speculations that are happening here in washington today. joe biden made the case that he views himself as

the case that he views himself as the best person to beat donald trump. he pointed out that he was chosen by democratic voters in an open process earlier this year and he has more than enough delegates to the devil democratic convention to ensure he is the nominee. to say he is not going anywhere if he does not want to end he is not going to change. he pointed towards his record and said he was running on it and said he talked about how he needed to be donald trump. iie and said he talked about how he needed to be donald trump. he talked about his frustration _ needed to be donald trump. he talked about his frustration by _ needed to be donald trump. he talked about his frustration by elites - needed to be donald trump. he talked about his frustration by elites and - about his frustration by elites and the democratic party. i thought that was an interesting line. here is the thing. he tried in those early efforts after the debate why it was so disastrous. the trouble is there are many, many democrats who just do not buy this. at the age issue is now unfixable. the not buy this. at the age issue is now unfixable.— not buy this. at the age issue is now unfixable. ., , ., , now unfixable. the reason they feel that wa is now unfixable. the reason they feel that way is because _ now unfixable. the reason they feel that way is because they _ now unfixable. the reason they feel that way is because they saw - now unfixable. the reason they feel that way is because they saw joe . that way is because they sanoe biden during that democratic debate

and saw that he was unable to voice and saw that he was unable to voice a compelling case against donald trump that he was at a time in canute coherent in his answers and that has prompted concerns that have been bubbling out there aboutjoe biden �*s age but really drove the point home thatjoe biden may not be able to be the messenger and may not be able to be the vessel best suited to defeat donald trump. and as you mentioned, he has tried in a number of ways over the past weekend i have to quell these doubts. he's been active on the campaign trail. he did active on the campaign trail. he did a national television interview on friday and now he is reaching out to individual lawmakers and putting this push here in washington with democratic members of congress to try to keep them from coming out in any sort of unified way to call for his withdrawal. as that letter points out, the pressure can be there for people calling for him to step aside, but he has the delegates to the national convention that is sure that he will be the nominee. so

it has to be his choice to step aside for someone else and everything he has said and that letter is that his decision is that he is moving full speed ahead and democrats are going to have to get behind him. we democrats are going to have to get behind him-— behind him. we shall see if that is enouah. behind him. we shall see if that is enough. anthony's _ behind him. we shall see if that is enough. anthony's worker - behind him. we shall see if that is enough. anthony's worker there i behind him. we shall see if that is| enough. anthony's worker there in washington. thank you very much for that. thank you. latest live from paris in just a that. thank you. latest live from paris injust a moment that. thank you. latest live from paris in just a moment or two, that. thank you. latest live from paris injust a moment or two, but first, here is the weather. hello there, good afternoon. still some very unsettled conditions weather—wise across the uk as we head through the rest of this week. there's yet more heavy rain to come in the forecast, although it won't be raining all the time. lots of dry weather too. some rather warm and humid air moving in from the south through the day tomorrow. for today, the best of the sunshine, bluest of the skies will be across northern england. this is where we will also see

the highest of the temperatures. low pressure down towards the south—west. the winds are very slack for most of the country, but they will strengthen across south—west england, along with some heavy rain by the end of the day. it is cloudy for southern england and south wales. patchy rain here. a scattering of showers across scotland and northern ireland, particularly towards the east. best of the sunshine in northern england, but still the chance of one or two showers here. in the best of that sunshine we could see 20 or 21 celsius. no such luck, though, for wimbledon. temperatures in the high teens today and tomorrow, with the chance of some showers, possibly some longer spells of rain. quite a bit of cloud around at times too. overnight tonight we're likely to see this heavy rain just gradually track its way further northwards. particularly high rainfall totals across parts of the moors in the south—west. that rain reaches northern england and north wales in time for tomorrow morning. it drags in some rather humid air behind it, so a mild night in the south, but cooler with some clear spells and largely dry across much of scotland and northern ireland. that area of low pressure continues to push further northwards as we head through the day on tuesday. the rain will eventually reach, notjust northern england, but northern ireland, into southern and central areas of scotlandand eastern scotland

by the end of the day. we will see more of an easterly wind start to take hold here. in that warmer, more humid air towards the south we could see some brighter breaks perhaps at times, but lots of cloud and some of the sunshine could help to trigger off a few sharp showers here and there too. in the best of any brightness we'll get to 20 celsius, maybe as high as 22, but a lot cooler further north. with that easterly wind across eastern scotland, there will be a lot more heavy rain here as we head through wednesday. then that feature starts to drift its way further southwards as we head through thursday, with possibly more heavy rain across the south of england, particularly into the south—east as we head through the course of friday and saturday. we will see temperatures drop to below the seasonal average. bye—bye for now.

this is bbc news, the headlines... russia's latest barrage of missile attacks on ukraine has killed dozens of people, including at a children's hospital in kyiv.

the prime minister — sir keir starmer — has been in cardiff, as he tours the uk following his visit to belfast this morning. he says he's spoken to phone getting about several "pressing issues", including tata steel, where 2,800 workers face losing theirjobs. despite more senior democrats are urging him to drop out, president biden insists in a letter that he will stay in the us presidential race "to the end". first let's head to paris because france is facing political deadlock after the third round of voting. france is facing political deadlock after the final round of voting in snap parliamentary elections. this time, there was a victory for the left—wing new popular front alliance, which pushed the far—right national rally into third place. in practice, it means that no party now has a majority and a mandate to govern, in a country that has a big summer ahead. christian fraser �*s in paris. fastening results, just take me through some of the fallout. if you

three groups. by convention, mr macron has to pick a prime minister from the biggest group so you imagine it would be someone from the left and indeed gabriel atoll, the current prime minister turned up at to tender his resignation, stay in a if you walk down the seine, all the stands are going out, the beach volleyball is being set up at the foot of the full tower behind me, all the focus on that will be at the games, putting on a games people can be proud of through august and the paralympics that comes after that, perhaps they have a little bit of time to take a breather and decide, but very quickly after that we are going to be right back into the throes of it and who knows where this is going to end. let's go to as a day moshiri who is outside the national assembly, when i used to go inside many years back, inside the

he's given his back to the maanger gareth southgate, after all the negativity and criticism he has faced. i don't really understand the criticism, i think what he's done for the country, for us as players as well and he's really took us to the next level, successful as him as he's done recently another semifinal coming is exactly what need and for that we are able to go out on the pitch and try to be at our best and personally i've got a lotto thank him for it but because he showed a lot of faith picking me when he didn't have to, and for that i will always be thankful but i need to repay the faith he'd shown in me. james anderson is expecting an emotional week as he prepares to play his final game for england. moon now a1, the pace bowler will win his 188th test cap at lords on wednesday in the first test against west indies before his international retirement.

his sole focus is adding to his 700 test wickets. trying not to think too much about the game itself yet, like certainly how i feel about it, i try to be as sort of focused as i can come a big thing for me this week is wanting to play well, bull well, then get a win. that's what i'm trying to focus on, i'm sure the emotions during the week will change but right now that's what i'm trying to focus on to stop myself crying. that's all the sport for now. lots more on all those stories in sports day at half past six, see you then. the controversial social media influencer andrew tate and his brother tristan have been accused of failing to pay tax in the uk on £21 million of revenue from their online

businesses. devon and cornwall police are bringing a civil claim against the tates, who are based in romania. westminster magistrates�* court heard that andrew tate had boasted in an online video about refusing to pay tax, saying that, if you ignored them, the authorities always went away in the end. he is there at the courts, and, dan, tell us more?— he is there at the courts, and, dan, tell us more? yes, the tate brothers have been described _ tell us more? yes, the tate brothers have been described today _ tell us more? yes, the tate brothers have been described today in - tell us more? yes, the tate brothers have been described today in court i have been described today in court as cereal and brazen tax invaders. they face accusations that they were funnelling their income from their online subscription activities through a network of the uk bacon counts but not paying any tax on it either here or anywhere else. for that matter tax or vat dating back to 201a, does not work of bank accounts was a spaghetti trail impossible for anyone to

disentangle, and the kc representing them, they were entirely consisting with money laundering and entirely inconsistent with open and transparent dealings, millions of pounds have been frozen across seven bank accounts, but the revenue over the last ten years dating back to 201a is estimated to amount to £21 million but the court was told that most of that had already been spent on expensive cars and properties, this is what the brothers were able to afford if they weren't paying the tax that was due. there are cases that they are liable for tax in romania, not in the uk, but the court heard they haven't paid a penny of tax there either. we understand there is an investigation into the tax affairs ongoing in romania. the two brothers were also arrested 18 months ago and are facing trial accused of rape, of trafficking and a criminal gang to exploit women. those are charges that they deny and their defence

braith needs his dad's full—time care but they say state support left them homeless for 18 months. it's got increasingly difficult, very hard now. really, we've never been as poor as we are right now. it's terribly difficult. this chair that i'm in right now, we had to finance through the community. this was paid through the kindness of strangers. we'd just like to be treated with a bit of respect, even if they don't give us more cash. they told us it was going to be ten months first to get a wheelchair and i was going to be bedbound for ten months. voters were clear on thursday, they are ready for a change. but for the chancellor's vision to work, well, she will have to be sure that investors and businesses are on board too. so far, private investors seem to have taken this new government very much in stride. in fact, we saw the ftse 250, which is the home of the more

domestically—focused listed companies in the uk, we saw that up on friday following the election victory, which just suggests that investors are tentatively confident, they are ready to engage with labour and rachel reeves. the weeks ahead will be crucial. signalling change is one thing — arriving at the right destination is another. nina warhurst, bbc news. it's coming to the end of our programme, so we'll recap our main story, the shocking events in ukraine to the course of today, it has been described as one of the worst russian missile strikes on kyiv in months, the rear daytime attack that all but destroyed sections of ukraine's largest children's hospital. these are the live pictures because hours after that straight, you see the heavy machinery is still in place, the workers still going through the

floors that have collapsed, as they try to see if there are any survivors. we heard earlier that a couple of people confirmed dead, one of them a doctor, one of them a child, but it is feared that that death toll will rise. and so of course, this is part of wider strikes across ukraine, five cities being targeted, the health minister was speaking in just the last little y. was speaking in just the last little y, 1a0 people injured, many killed. in terms of the hospital strike, i want to put on the screen some of the children, these pictures sent to us and with the agreement of the family because that is the aftermath and that is what it has shocked so many people. un secretary strongly condemning russia's mill military attack on infrastructure, the international criminal court asking

them to investigate if the world take stock of the latest attack from russia two years into this war. the un security council will actually discuss this tomorrow and when i return on tomorrow's programme we will continue to look at this, but those are some of the latest lines, some of the latest pictures that have come into us through the course of a really distressing day there in ukraine. more on that in the six o'clock news that follows, let's catch up with weather details first, and that's with elizabeth. as we had through the week what weather remains in charge, but it won't be what all the time, dryer spells and sunshine around, the sunshine best through northern england through today, is but there will be more rain to come, that's courtesy of this deep area of low

pressure spinning the weather fronts north—east through the night, muggy feeling your the south of it as well but heavy downpours of rain, through the night, especially across the moors of the southwest, moving across into north wales, north mittens and northern england in time for tomorrow morning. mild and muggy toward the south, 13 or 1a celsius, but a lot chillier further north where we'll keep the skies. so that low pressure continues to move very slowly, northwards as we head towards tuesday, the humid feeling air is towards the south of it, the heavy rain will push into northern england, eventually curl around into northern ireland, southern and central areas of scotland as we head to the second the day and eventually eastern scotland where it's going to be really quite relentless, northern scotland stays dry, south of these fronts a lot of sunny spells come a lot of cloud around, watch out for some showers. temperatures will peak

here at 20—22 c, the air is mild and muggy. if we take a look at wednesday then, this brisk northeastern learning wind, it will be really quite relentless across eastern and northern scotland as you head through wednesday. further south some bright and sunny spells appearing between those cloud layers and temperatures will get as high as 20-25 c, and temperatures will get as high as 20—25 c, again the low pressure pulled away from the north sea as we had through thursday this occlusion sinks further southwards, there's more heavy rain approaching from the south and that is going to affect southern areas of england perhaps east anglia, south—east england, as we had to friday, also draw down more of the northeasterly went so temperatures are likely to drop again by the time we get to the end of the working week. bye for now.

later this evening, when we come back here on bbc one at seven, we will be bringing you novak djokovic, the all—time leading grand slam winner, heading and trying desperately for his eighth title here at wimbledon. he is up against the young gun holger rune, so lots of tennis action to come when we return here on bbc one at seven o'clock. but for now, from us, as the covers, the outside
