performance. i'm sumi somaskanda. thank you forjoining us. the united nations security council will meet on tuesday to discuss a russian airstrike that left kyiv�*s main children's hospital in ruins monday. diplomats say the request was brought by britain, france, ecuador, slovenia and the us. the strike is part of a barrage of missile attacks on cities across ukraine — killing at least 36 people and injuring more than m0. in kyiv, rescuers worked to search for victims under a partially collapsed wing of the facility. medical staff and emergency services have been trying to clear the rubble by hand to find survivors. hospital officials told ukrainian television that 20 children were being treated from the hardest hit ward. ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky called the strike "deliberate" and has vowed to retaliate. russian officials denied targeting the hospital, claiming it was hit by fragments of a ukrainain air defense missile. our correspondentjames waterhouse has more on devleopments from kyiv.

frantic desperation on a kyiv summer morning. people helping with bare hands at ukraine's largest children's hospital. even for a war—hardened city, this was a missile strike which broke the gruelling rhythm of russia's invasion. some of the young patients were being treated for cancer, already fighting for their lives. they illustrate how these attacks do not discriminate. translation: we were in the middle of surgery when the windows got shattered, the surgeon quickly covered the baby to save him. i want the world to stop this, these children are innocent. tatiana had a near miss. translation: we got here five minutes before it all started. then the search for survivors stops for another missile alert.

an underpass acts as a shelter this time. residential buildings were also hit in kyiv, here bodies were recovered. other cities were also attacked. on a visit to neighbouring poland, president zelensky promised retaliation. translation: beyond any doubt, we are going to rebuild everything that these terrorists have destroyed, and beyond any doubt, we are going to respond to these savages from russia. everybody who was injured will get the necessary help, and we pledge to work to bring russia tojustice. ukrainians often describe a daily wait on their shoulders, sirens sounding in cities like kyiv all the time, and occasionally explosions will follow, and occasionally it is a big one. now, you can see people singing as they are giving out water. attacks like this don't really influence the battlefield, but what they are designed to do is terrorise and suppress the ukrainian people.

for a second time, rescue teams have to find cover due to another air alert. only on this occasion, they sing the ukrainian national anthem. a dark day for a city still defiant. james waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv. the attack comes as the leaders of the nato begin arriving in washington for the alliance's 75th summit. president zelensky is leading a large delegation, including ruslan stefanchuk, speaker of ukraine's parliament. speaking to the bbc, mr stefanchuk described the attack as a "war crime." translation: you know, i believed that this attack are shoes in a new stage in this horrible war and what we saw was premeditated attack on the

central children's hospital in the centre of kyiv, ukraine's capital. and this, once again, emphasises the inhuman treatment that the russians have two everything that is ukrainian. and i also believe that by committing this atrocity, vladimir putin is sending a clear signal here and his message is that he has no red lights and we want to make sure that nato sends a powerful signal back and this powerful signal back and this powerful signal would be ringing ukraine closer to nato membership because otherwise, ukraine wouldn't be able to survive and stand in this war. it's expected that nato leaders will indeed ratify a deal bringing ukraine one step closer to membership — in defiance of russian president vladimir putin's demands for kyiv to give up onjoining the alliance. politics on both sides of the atlantic will also loom heavily over the gathering, with the rise of the far—right in europe and the possible return of donald trump

to the white house here in the us. our defence correspondent jonathan beale has more. ukraine war is already top of the agenda for this 75th anniversary summit of the nato military anions. no doubt about it, the slater�*s attacks by russia and give the new sense of urgency particularly with the expected arrival of president zelensky who has been appealing to nato allies to give his country more air defences, has been given some of those us made patriot batteries, he says six country needs but not in the quantities he believes they require. that is one of the issues that will be addressed here at the summit, the head of nato has managed to persuade allies to commit another a0 billion us dollars to military support for ukraine but he hasn't been able to turn that into a five year commitment, something that he wanted to do, people have been

calling trump proofing the nato military assistance to ukraine. he hasn't been able to achieve that because of the political uncertainties, he does have strong support from britain's new prime minister who will be tested on the world stage for the first time, keir starmer, has already made clear that britain's position is that nato is the cornerstone of its own security and he wants to see military aid speeding up in his delivery to ukraine but the question gnawing at many of the leaders has — which we won't hear discussed in public is world the show of unity that they will undoubtably try to impart over the next few days survive next year if there is going to be a donald trump second term presidency, a man who's been critical of alliance in the past, critical of military support for ukraine, thatis military support for ukraine, that is the elephant in the

room even if it is not going to be discussed in public. ahead of the summit — i spoke to republican congressmen michael mccaul and mike turner. mr mccaul serves as chair of the house foreign affairs committee, and mr turner serves as chair of the house intelligence committee. chairman, i'll start with you, this nato summit, ukraine is going to be a central topic, and just today, we saw a russian strike hit children's hospital in kyiv, killing dozens of people, more than three years into this war, vladimir putin appears undeterred, not only by ukraine's assistant but by western support so, what needs to be achieved at the summit? i think, first of all, i will take the restrictions of the easter attack that i personally would, that the long—range artillery, these rocket fires are coming right across the borderfrom russia, primarily kharkiv, but the security adviser will not allow ukraine to use everything it has two

win this fight. right now, they warn ——to have one hand tied behind their backs and i asked repeatedly to lift the restriction, i met with president zelensky in paris and in singapore and he made this cry for help, if you will, to change the rules here. they change the rules here. they change the rules here. they change the policy allowing them to fire across the border but then they limit the weapons they can use that can effectively achieve that goal. do you think this needs to be an important point of discussion with that allies this week? i discussion with that allies this week?— this week? i had this conversation - this week? i had this conversation with - this week? i had this - conversation with secretary sollenberger at the meeting and 'ust sollenberger at the meeting and just a _ sollenberger at the meeting and just a month and a half ago and he expressed full support for ukraine — he expressed full support for ukraine getting the ability to use any— ukraine getting the ability to use any weapons that they receive _ use any weapons that they receive from any nato allies to be able — receive from any nato allies to be able to defend themselves and to— be able to defend themselves and to be able to hit valid military— and to be able to hit valid military targets in russia. have _ military targets in russia. have to _ military targets in russia. have to be able to take the fight — have to be able to take the fight to _ have to be able to take the fight to russia as russia is

of all four nations of the uk. after visiting scotland on sunday, he spent monday in belfast meeting political leaders before travelling to cardiff to meet wales' first minister. he's also been meeting his party's new mps who are arriving in westminster — aii labour mps were elected last week. the new chancellor, rachel reeves, has used her first speech to confirm that mandatory targets will be introduced to achieve labour's goal of building 1.5 million homes in england within five years. ms reeves says planning rules would be loosened to allow new housing developments — but that local authorities would still decide where homes would be built. the prime minister is expected to authorise emergency measures this week which could see criminals freed after serving less than half their sentence. prison governors have warned jails could run out of space within days. currently just over 87,000 people are serving time behind bars in england and wales. total capacity is atjust under 89,000 meaning prisons are around 98.5% full. you're live with bbc news.

political uncertainty continues in france tonight — after a run—off election resulted in a hung parliament. french president emmanuel macron asked his prime minister to remain in the post to ensure stability. although gabriel attal handed in his resignation on monday — he's agreed to temporarily stay on. sunday's results were seen as a victory for the left—wing new popular front alliance who emerged as the first place winner after a second round of voting, pushing the far—right national rally into third. mr macron's centrist party came in a close second place. it means that no single party has an outright majority by themselves to govern in parliament, putting the country on the path of months of political gridlock said on monday that france had rejected extremism with aleft—wing surge in its election and americans would also rejectit when they vote in november. "france rejected extremism. democrats will reject it here aswell," biden told msnbc in a telephone interview. our correspondent azadeh moshiri has more on the fallout from paris. what comes the day after the party? the cleanup, both literally here which looks virtually spotless compared to what we saw last night when there were celebrations

everywhere, people refusing to climb down from the statue, a symbol of liberty, equality and fraternity here in france. but also figuratively because no single party swept up the majority of the votes and so the new popular front and a that was formed between different parties to keep the far—right at bay, keep them from taking over government may have succeeded but they now have succeeded but they now have to figure out what comes next and how they govern. who will they propose to become prime minister? out of the greens, the socialist and the communist party, how will president emmanuel macron react? will they even stay committed to the programme they proposed when they formed this alliance? that idea with fraternity will be put to the test. following election losses, the leader of france's far—right national rally, jordan bardella, said he will head a new right—wing group in the european parliament, patriots for europe. in a post election speech mr bardella announced

the national rally would join 11 other countries that strive to 'balance power in europe by rejecting the flood of migrants, punitive ecology and seizing sovereignty�* patriots for eurpe was started last month by hungarian prime minister viktor orban, herbert kickl of the far—right freedom party of austria, and andrej babis, the leader of the populist czech ano after the eurpoean elections resulted in gain for far—right parties. us presidentjoe biden is urging democrats to come together to support his candidacy for re—election as questions linger about his mental fitness for the job. he says he is his party's best chance at defeating donald trump in november. mr biden sent a letter to democratic lawmakers monday where he promised he is "running this race to the end". he also questioned if ending his campaign would be disrespectful to primary voters. in a phone—in appearance on msnbc�*s morning joe, he was asked about his poor debate performance and how voters can be reassured a night like that will not happen again. look at my career, we don't have many of those nights, it was a terrible night and i really regret it happen. but the fact that the matter is,

how can you ensure you're going to be on... inaudible. age wasn't the idea that i'm too old, i created so many new jobs, released student debt, first black woman on the court, i think i had a significant run. president biden spent the weekend making a series of campaign appearances in the battleground state of pennsylvania, joined by his ally senatorjohn fetterman. senator fetterman is one of the most high—profile democrats to reject calls forjoe biden to end his 202a presidential campaign. the bbc spoke with mr fetterman about whether he had any doubt about mr biden being the democratic nominee. well, i mean, i'm absolutely committed to that and i hope — i hope that people just realise that this is the president,

this is our guide, this is our nominee and he is entitled to take this to november because he's been a great person and is the only person is ever beaten trump and he will do that again and for the last time, i really want people to understand, it is going to be close and samples will be art, some will be down but the real paul is going to be election day when people are going to be confronted with this idea, do we want that kind of mess and a privately and programme 2025 with trump or do you want a great president and great economy and nation that we can be proud of? senatorjohn fetterman supporting president biden's bid there. in the next hour we will hear from democrat congressman adam smith — who is calling on biden to drop out of the race.

embattled plane—maker boeing is expected to plead guilty to a criminalfraud conspiracy charge over the deaths of 3a6 people following two fatal crashes. the company will admit responsibility and pay a fine of $2a3.6 million — avoiding a trial. families of the victims criticised what they called a 'sweetheart deal�* that denies them their day in court. for more on boeing's fraud charge, here's out international business correspondent theo leggett. this is quite a momentous moment. this is one of the biggest companies in the united states, one of the biggest defence and civil aerospace contractors, agreeing to plead guilty to a serious criminalfelony charge. that is a landmark moment. it's something that hadn't happened over the past five years, not in the aftermath of the two tragic accidents in which 3a6 people were killed following crashes of the 737 max, boeing's brand—new aircraft. you might remember, in 2021, there was a settlement between the department ofjustice and boeing in which boeing agreed to pay $2.5 billion to settle this initialfraud charge, which was basically an accusation that the company deceived regulators in the development of that aircraft.

five years later, this january, we had another serious incident involving a boeing 737 max where an unused door fell off one of the aircrafts. since then, there have been all sorts of allegations about poor quality control in the factories and that is why the department ofjustice decided to proceed on the original criminal charge. the us federal aviation administration announced mandatory inspections of more than 2,500 boeing 737s. they say its because passenger oxygen masks could fail during an emergency due to a retention strap. let's turn to some other important news around the world. indian prime minister narendra modi is in russia for talks with russia's president vladimir putin. it's his first visit since russia sent troops into ukraine. putin praised the prime minister, congratulating him on his re—election. russia has had strong ties with india since the cold war. heavy rain has caused major disruption in the indian city of mumbai with many roads flooded and flights and long—distance trains

cancelled or delayed. commuters had to wade through knee—deep water in the commercial capital. the decline was driven by a drop in environment destruction in the amazon. the amazon is the world's largest rain forest, about about a third of it is in colombia. a planet 6a light—years away from us that's known for its deadly weather —

also stinks of rotten eggs — it's been discovered. data obtained by the james webb space telescope suggests its atmosphere contains hydrogen sulphide. it offers scientists new clues about how sulphur, a building block of planets, might influence planetary formation outside our solar system. stay with us here on bbc news. don't forget to log onto the website for other analysis from our correspondence. stay with us. hello. a fairly unsettled spell ofjuly weather is set to continue. more rain on the cards over the next few days. let's take a look at the expected accumulations. and you can see blue colours really across the map. so we're all going to see a little bit of rain between tuesday and thursday. this is probably the wettest spot. parts of eastern scotland, north—east england. we could see more than 60mm on top of the highest ground.

so on tuesday band of rain moves its way north. things are turning a little bit more humid towards the south. here's the low pressure that's drifting northwards through the overnight period into tuesday as well. and we've got this warm front pushing north. so that's going to introduce a bit more of a southeasterly flow of air and bring it temperatures certainly a little bit warmer, a bit more of a muggy feel in the south compared to recent days. let's take a look at tuesday morning. then by about 9:00 that rain will mostly have been easing from southern england, but still some showers. big puddles for the south west of england. south wales two. that bulk of the rain is sitting across parts of northern england into northern ireland, southern scotland, central and northern parts of scotland. seeing some sunshine to start your tuesday morning.

but this area of rain, it's a frontal system, continues its progress north. these easterly winds quite blustery, blowing in across north—east england and eastern scotland as well. so pretty wet if you're under that band of rain 15 or 16 degrees. but in the sunnier spells midlands perhaps getting up to around 21. few showers around across parts of southern and eastern england, so could be a little bit of light rain on tuesday at wimbledon, potentially on wednesday as well, but it won't be a washout. i think. any rainfairly showery in nature now moving through into wednesday, then we've still got this band of rain overnight sitting across scotland, parts of northern ireland, still seeing some wet weather potentially as well. look at those overnight temperatures, most of us between about 12 to 15 degrees. so we've got that humid air more widely across the uk as we head into wednesday. but low pressure still driving things so still bringing outbreaks of rain for northern and eastern scotland, some of that quite slow moving. so rainfall totals really mounting up here, some showers to also into northern ireland, perhaps one or two into the northwest of england. further south you're more likely to have a bit of a drier day with some more sunshine, but not completely dry anywhere, i think. top temperatures in the sunshine in the south up to about 22, but still only 1a or 15 in the north towards the end of the week,

then we've still got another area of low pressure. looks like it will affect parts of southern, perhaps south—eastern england, so it's a bit up and down over the next few days really, but temperatures perhaps a little bit warmer, at least for a time than they have been.

america's aviation regulator will inspect over 2,000 boeing 737jets, amid concerns their oxygen masks could fail in an emergency. india's prime minister narendra modi has arrived in russia, in his first bilateral visit since winning a third term in office.

hello and welcome to business today. i'm steve lai. we begin with boeing. the main us aviation regulator has ordered the inspection of thousands of boeing 737 max planes, over concerns related to the oxygen masks aboard the jets. our north america business correspondent erin delmore has more on this latest probe. the federal aviation administration is requiring operators to check the passenger oxygen masks on some 2,600 aeroplanes. theirjob is to make sure the masks haven't shifted out of position, which could potentially leave them out of passengers' reach in an emergency. the inspections, and any necessary corrective actions, need to be completed within 120 to 150 days. this is the latest sign of trouble for the once—stored and now—embattled aviation giant. earlier monday boeing agreed to

plead guilty to a
