agrees to a "just peace", the sooner it would stop its cross—border raids. ukraine is trying to force moscow to divert its forces from the eastern front, here in red, to protect its own border. ukrainian troops are fighting in the kursk region, seen here in yellow. they claim to control over a thousand square kilometres of russian territory. moscow has evacuated thousands of russians from the area. this is the sumy region of ukraine close to kursk, from where troops are entering. our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse is there. the central square of sudzha. a ukrainian armoured vehicle drives through a russian town. it's a military inversion which has restored momentum and morale to kyiv�*s war effort. and instead of directing events in ukraine, moscow's reacting to surprises at home. more of its kursk region is falling

in the most dramatic of battlefield changes. "we've just been to this russian supermarket, "and the selection isn't very good," remarks this soldier. slava ukraini! russia is struggling to contain this weighty offensive, but it is trying. across the border in ukraine's sumy region, evidence ukraine is deploying some of its best troops for a goal that is still unclear. military equipment is branded with a triangle, the symbol of this operation. ukraine is committing to this gamble, but success might not come here with the capturing of territory across the border. it may well come elsewhere, where russian forces might be forced to redeploy. if this gamble doesn't come off, the consequences for ukraine's war effort could be catastrophic.

for the border villages habitually hit by russian glide bombs, there is no fear of what moscow's response might be. translation: i want them to take it and do this. - translation: russia attacked first, not us. i now our guys responded, showed what we're capable of. if we had permission to do this earlier, we would have captured russia a long time ago. in the city of sumy, evacuees give their details to be rehoused. as with across the border, tens of thousands have been moved after an increase in air strikes. ukraine has benefited from secrecy, but its civilians less so. at this judo class, pupils seek to use their opponent's power against them. effectively what ukraine's forces are doing 50km away. but quick thinking

can work both ways. russia is still the bigger fighter and could grapple to regain its balance. as you may have sensed, ukraine is revelling in this. the soldiers we have met didn't want to go on camera, but they all talk of using the element of surprise. this is an operation that was clearly months in the making, and they are not stopping here. president zelensky hasjust been briefed by stopping here. president zelensky has just been briefed by the stopping here. president zelensky hasjust been briefed by the head of his armed forces, where he has said they are advancing up to three or four kilometres in several directions. kyiv claims it is now in control of more than 70 settlements, but the moment of surprise has now passed. president zelensky says more plans will be announced in due course, and given that the moment of surprise has passed, he is going to have to. james, thank you. a review into the care of a man who killed three people

in nottingham last year has found what it called "a series of errors, omissions and misjudgements" in the way he was treated. valdo calocane was psychotic and suffering from paranoid delusions. the care quality commission says if the system doesn't change, there's still a risk to public safety. calocane admitted stabbing ian coates, barnaby webber and grace o'malley kumar to death, and is serving an indefinite hospital order for manslaughter. here's our social affairs editor alison holt. for the families of those who were killed by valdo calocane, the immediate aftermath was grief stricken and raw. it was impossible to understand what had happened. i can't even comprehend how i'm going to deal with it. and all they were doing was walking home. they wanted answers, and today's report finally sets out the failings in calocane's care that led to that terrible day in nottingham in june last year. the morning when calocane fatally stabbed

19—year—old students grace o'malley—kumar and barnaby webber, and 65—year—old caretaker ian coates. cctv picked up calocane walking the streets for hours beforehand. the report found he was acutely unwell with paranoid schizophrenia, but mental health assessments missed key details and minimised the risk he posed to himself and others. barnaby webber�*s mother says the report shows gross systemic failings. it's so clear that there are so many missed opportunities, so many... so much bad decision making. i would say it's inevitable that, had people done theirjobs properly, then there's a very strong chance barnaby would be alive today. the son of ian coates also believes better care might have changed what calocane did. ifjobs were done properly and these opportunities weren't missed and were dealt with properly and he got the help he needed at an early

stage, it might have gone in a different direction. the care quality commission says over the two years calocane was in the care of nottinghamshire mental health services, there were difficulties getting him to take his medication. his aggression was increasing when he was unwell. in the community, he missed appointments and when he was discharged back to his gp in september 2022, the risks weren't considered properly. while it is not possible to say- that the devastating events of last year would not have taken place had valdo calocane i received that support, - what is clear is that the risk he presented to the public was not i managed well, and that opportunities to mitigate that risk- were missed by the team. i extend to you my condolences, my thoughts and also my willingness to work with you. when he was in opposition, sir keir starmer met the families and committed to a public inquiry. we've had 19 years of emotional investment.

grace o'malley—kumar�*s parents say it is needed to hold people to account, and today the health secretary confirmed that the prime minister remains committed to a judge—led inquiry. as yet, the scope and the nature of the inquiry has to be confirmed with us, and i suspect that might depend on some of the outcome of ongoing investigations and inquiries. we would like the scope to be as wide as possible, - and we would like it to be a statutory public inquiryl led by a judge, and one that has real teeth. - nottinghamshire healthcare foundation trust says it accepts the coc report, and that it's doing everything in its power to learn from what happened and to improve. alison holt, bbc news. a man has appeared in court charged with attempted murder after an 11—year—old girl was stabbed in london's leicester square on monday. 32—year—old ioan pintaru, a romanian national with no fixed address, is also charged with possession

of a bladed article. the court heard that mr pintaru allegedly placed the girl into a headlock and stabbed her eight times. she remains in hospital. our correspondent, nickjohnson, was in court and joins us now. nick. sophie, leicester square, the heart of london's west end, a site of hollywood film premiers. yesterday morning, crime scene, when police were called to reports of a stabbing. prosecutors hear in court this morning allege that 32—year—old ioan pintaru, a romanian national, approached two tourists, an 11—year—old girl and her mother. it is then alleged that he placed that 11—year—old girl into a headlock stabbing her eight times with a steak knife. then alleged that members of the public restraint the suspect before police arrived on the scene. that 11—year—old girl is still in hospital. we understand her

injuries are serious, but not life—threatening. we did here in court this morning she is likely to undergo plastic surgery as a result of her injuries. mr pintaru spoke through an interpreter in court this morning to confirm his details and that he was of no fixed abode. he actually looked away from court when details of yesterday's incident were read out. he has been remanded in custody. he is due to appear at the old bailey next month. sophie. nick, thank you. a 13—year—old girl has pleaded guilty to violent disorder at a protest outside a hotel in aldershot in hampshire. she is among dozens of people appearing in court today over their roles in the recent riots that were sparked by the fatal stabbing of three girls in southport. our uk affairs correspondent, daniel sandford, has more. yes, the courts are still seeing a blizzard of cases linked to the riots and disorder of the last two weeks, with more than 350 people now charged. today's most unusual case dated to the violence in aldershot on the 31st ofjuly, at the potters international hotel, where asylum seekers were being housed. with her parents sitting in court,

a 13—year—old girl pleaded guilty to violent disorder. she was not sentenced today and was given bail. among the other notable cases werejohn honey, who among other things admitted looting a lush cosmetics store in hull, and 19—year—old drew jarvis, jailed for three years for throwing bricks and burning arrows at police at a hotel housing asylum seekers near rotherham. of the charges so far, more than 200 have been for violent disorder, which carries a maximum sentence of five years, and 30 have been for allegedly assaulting police officers. of the more than 50 sentences passed already, the average length has been two years, with the highest three years, four months. and remember, those arejust the cases where people have pleaded guilty. people who are contesting the charges will get significantly longer sentences if later found guilty by a jury. daniel. a bbc investigation has found that

a priest in blackburn who was assessed as a potential risk to children and young people was given a six—figure pay—off by the church of england. canon andrew hindley was subject to five police investigations including into allegations of sexual assault but wasn't charged. he has always strongly denied any wrongdoing. our religion editor aleem maqbool reports. and welcome to blackburn cathedral... for more than 30 years, canon andrew hindley worked for the church in the round blackburn. over that time, he faced allegations of abuse. it led to five police investigations, including two involving sexual assault, though he was never charged and has always strongly denied any wrongdoing. but several risk assessments concluded he did pose a potential risk to children and young people. foryears, potential risk to children and young people. for years, the church failed to act effectively on the warnings. the first reaction seems to be one

of two egg it on. joan, not her real name, says a relative made a complaint against canon hindley. she won't talk about the out there with allegations of cells, but says herfamily the out there with allegations of cells, but says her family was deeply let down. that fear seemed to revolve around the idea that the church could be brought down by this. a former bishop of blackburn even suggested she and her family move on. canon hindley was suspended at least twice, but restrictions on him weren't monitored. internal search disciplinary proceedings stalled, and there were more allegations. what we now know from leaked documents was the church appeared fearful he would take legal action if he was removed. we have now discovered when he left in 2022, it was with a payoff believed to be around a quarter of £1 million. the church says it was made to settle legal action by the priest. reverend julian henderson was bishop of blackburn at the time. he explains the payment by saying in a

statement: our priority was to ensure that canon hindley could never return to ministry. this was primarily to protect children and vulnerable young people from the risk he posed. this was the only option left open to us. i took a decision on conscience that i took a decision on conscience that i couldwt— i took a decision on conscience that i couldn't work for an organisation which _ i couldn't work for an organisation which put — i couldn't work for an organisation which put its own reputation and the protection _ which put its own reputation and the protection of alleged abusers above the protection and care and listening to victims and survivors. moreno_ listening to victims and survivors. moreno was a senior blackburn cathedral priest who resigned in protest at the payer. the message that that sends to victims — the message that that sends to victims and survivors is absolutely horrific, _ victims and survivors is absolutely horrific, so— victims and survivors is absolutely horrific, so when there were senior clergy. _ horrific, so when there were senior clergy, bishops saying, oh, this is wonderful, — clergy, bishops saying, oh, this is wonderful, it is all resolved, a settlement has been reached, expecting me to be happy, i was devastated. the church has acknowledged huge

failings in its safeguarding system, but critics insist when risk assessments show a priest poses a threat of harm, more could and should be done, whatever the legal consequences. and there is more on that story on tonight at 8pm on radio for, and also available on bbc sounds. the time is 6.16. our top story this evening: ukraine continues to push into russian territory as its surprise incursion continues. almost 200,000 russians have fled. and still to come — over 100 years after it sank, we get rare access to a warehouse storing some titanic�*s secrets. coming up on bbc news — rangers go into the second leg of their champions league qualifier against dynamo kyiv on equal terms. it finished 1—1 in the first fixture, but rangers will play the home leg at hampden, as ibrox undergoes repairs.

firefighters in greece are starting to bring huge wildfires that have been threatening the capital athens under control. high temperatures and strong winds combined to create a series of blazes, which have now been reduced to scattered hotspots. two people have died, dozens have been injured and thousands of people have been moved from their homes. our correspondentjessica parker joins us from outside athens now. jessica. yes, tonight the skies around athens _ jessica. yes, tonight the skies around athens are _ jessica. yes, tonight the skies around athens are no - jessica. yes, tonight the skies around athens are no longer l jessica. yes, tonight the skies - around athens are no longer smoke filled as firefighters battle those remaining hotspots. this of course is a blaze that began on sunday to the north—east of the city. the core not known. we are told investigations are under way. —— the cause is still not known. night compensation measures have been announced for the many homes and businesses affected, and one expert

i have spoken to says that he thinks this is one of the biggest wildfires to hit the greater athens area in a decade. shadows in the night as this monster blaze ripped into the outskirts of athens. firefighter, soldier, citizen — it was all hands to the pump. now, with daylight, this is what's left. thanassis, a stone merchant, leafs through the scorching hot wreckage of his business. he fears there's up to £25,000 worth of damage. translation: the fire | passed through and burnt all the wooden pallets. everything that was here is now useless. pallets, marble, tires and even further beyond, pallets, marble, tiles and even further beyond, everything is garbage now. as water bombers work to douse hotspots from on high, on the ground, there's anguish. and while everything was happening,

even our school burnt down. all of our memories were there. it'sjust a couple of metres down the line. marina despairs that greece goes through this time and again. the fire department is so underfunded. it has nothing to do with personal responsibility and everything to do with how the government is handling this. and the answer is that it's simply not. it's not handling it. the authority say their response was rapid in the face of extreme conditions, including drought. down there, you can see the path of the fire as it burned its way to the city of athens. the heat and high winds, the perfect conditions to allow the blaze to spread. this is a city that, over decades, has sprawled its way into the hills and forests, populated with highly flammable pine trees, igniting a far bigger question. the problem is not only in athens. i think the whole mediterranean | is a hotspot of climate change, | we will have big forest fires. do you feel pessimistic

or optimistic that solutions can be found? no, i'm pessimistic. i'm pessimistic because the problem the high temperatures and forest - fires, is that the implication i is cultural, and also on health. these are fresh scars on this landscape, but mark a familiar agony for greece. jessica parker, bbc news, in athens. with the us presidential campaign well under way, the momentum of the democratic nominee kamala harris continues. and it's putting more pressure on donald trump and how he campaigns against her. last night he spent two hours on x, the social media platform that used to be known as twitter, in conversation with its owner elon musk. here's our north america editor sarah smith. this technicalfailfor this technical fail for over a0 minutes was a poor start for a candidate badly in need of a hard reset. forthe

candidate badly in need of a hard reset. for the last three weeks donald trump has struggled to adapt his campaign to his new opponent, kamala harris. he clearly wishes he was still running againstjoe biden, whom he repeatedly accused of being senile, and now he is complaining about him being removed as the democrat�* candidate's. about him being removed as the democrat�* candidate�*s. eat; about him being removed as the democrat' candidate's.— about him being removed as the democrat' candidate's. say what you want, this democrat' candidate's. say what you want. this was _ democrat' candidate's. say what you want, this was a _ democrat' candidate's. say what you want, this was a coup _ democrat' candidate's. say what you want, this was a coup of _ democrat' candidate's. say what you want, this was a coup of the - want, this was a coup of the president of the united states, he didn�*t want to leave and they said we can do this the nice way or the hard way. mr we can do this the nice way or the hard wa . ~ , , hard way. mr trump said he believed america needs _ hard way. mr trump said he believed america needs a _ hard way. mr trump said he believed america needs a tough _ hard way. mr trump said he believed america needs a tough and - america needs a tough and intimidating leader, suggesting that would stop resident putin from invading ukraine. i would stop resident putin from invading ukraine.— would stop resident putin from invading ukraine. i said to vladimir putin, ou invading ukraine. i said to vladimir putin. you can't — invading ukraine. i said to vladimir putin, you can't do _ invading ukraine. i said to vladimir putin, you can't do it, _ invading ukraine. i said to vladimir putin, you can't do it, vladimir, . putin, you can�*t do it, vladimir, you do it, it�*s going to be a bad day, you cannot do it. and i told him things that, what i do, and he said, no way, and i said, we. donald trum did said, no way, and i said, we. donald trump did describe _ said, no way, and i said, we. donald trump did describe kamala - said, no way, and i said, we. donald trump did describe kamala harris i said, no way, and i said, we. donald trump did describe kamala harris as a radical left lunatic, who he says is soft on crime and immigration, but he has not yet settled on a consistent line of attack. i

slogans and optimistic promises, but it does seem to be working for voters who wanted a fresh choice and see her as a candidate for change. sarah smith, bbc news, washington. the titanic sank more than a century ago, but it wasn�*t until 1985 that the wreckage was found. since then, the company that owns the salvage rights has been to the bottom of the atlantic ocean to find and retrieve artefacts. and they�*ve brought around 5,500 items back to the surface. most of them are kept in georgia in the united states. our science editor rebecca morelle has been given rare access to these extraordinary items. relics from the most famous maritime disaster in history, from parts of the ship to passengers�* belongings. i can�*t reveal the location of where i am. all i can say is that this warehouse is somewhere in atlanta, because what�*s inside here is incredibly precious. thousands of items recovered from the titanic, and every single one of them tells a story.

this is a really beautiful little fashionable bag. and it belonged to marian meanwell. she was a 63—year—old milliner, which means she did all the little detail work on hats and dresses. she was travelling to the us to be with her daughter. inside the bag was a medical card that reveals a twist of fate for this third—class passenger. so we can see she was originally supposed to sail on the majestic. she actually got re—routed onto titanic. so unlucky. there was also a reference letter from a former landlord. it says, "this is to certify that we have always found ms meanwell to be a good tenant, prompt repayment." so unfortunately ms meanwell did not make it. she was one of the people who perished. being able to tell her story and have these objects is really important because otherwise, you know, 1,500 names, she�*s just another name on the list. the titanic sank in 1912 and lies at the bottom of the atlantic. these items are from a debris field surrounding the wreck.

so this champagne bottle survived on the floor of the ocean for decades and actually still had its contents inside of it. there�*s a lot of bottles and a lot of stock pots and kitchen pots, because titanic actually broke up around one of the kitchens. so itjust littered this debris. titanic was on her maiden voyage when she hit an iceberg. the ship, made from thousands of thick steel plates, was thought to be unsinkable. these are some of the 3 million rivets that held the plates together. when titanic sank, there was a theory that they were using substandard materials, perhaps, and that�*s what caused it to sink faster. tests have revealed the rivets contained impurities that could have made them brittle in the cold. if these rivets were brittle and one of the rivet heads popped off easier, then it could have allowed the seam to open up, where the iceberg hit, easier, and made it bigger than it otherwise would have been. the items are exhibited around the world. rms titanic inc own the salvage rights. but what do they say

to people who believe the wreck is a grave site? titanic is something that we want to respect and we want to make sure that we�*re preserving the memory because not everyone can go down to titanic, not everyone can go to the ship, and we want to be able to bring that to the public. the company has identified more objects they�*d like to bring back. who knows what tales each item may tell? rebecca morelle, bbc news, atlanta, georgia. the england men�*s test cricket captain, ben stokes, has been ruled out for the rest of the summer. the all—rounder tore his left hamstring while playing for northern superchargers in the hundred competition on sunday. he�*ll miss england�*s three—match series against sri lanka, which begins next week. stokes is hoping to be fit for the winter tour of pakistan. team gb�*s athletes are back after their success at the paris olympics. many returned clutching medals. but for others, the games

did not go to plan. like everyone else, the marathon runner, rose harvey, had been training intensely for months for her debut at the olympics on sunday. but at the very last minute, it all went wrong. i spoke to her this morning. this was not the way rose harvey wanted her olympic debut to end. her training had been going perfectly. she was in the best shape of her life, but three weeks ago, her hip suddenly felt tight and despite treatment, it didn�*t get better. it was going to get worse in the marathon. we knew that. we knew the risk, but there was a good chance that it would get me through and i would be able to run a pretty decent race and actually do my training justice. so that was the glimmer of hope that i was holding on to going into the olympics. as the women's olympic marathon gets under way. two miles in, it started to hurt. by six miles,

rose was falling behind the pack and she was on her own. already, rose harveyjust dropping off that group. that big group there. just kind of seeing your dreams slip away from you, it literally feels like it�*s slipping through your fingers as they go on. any other race, i would have stopped because i wasn�*t able to run the race. i wanted to, and the pain was really bad, but ijust had to get to that finish line, i had to do the olympic marathon. that's it, girl! out on the course was rose�*s fiance, charlie, who was urging her on. less than 2k left now. i know it hurts. it hurts, but you're good. every mile, ijust thought, "right, just run to charlie. run to where i can see him next. when i can see my friends and family next." i knew deep down if i stopped, i would always wonder what if ijust could have run an extra mile? and i wouldn�*t be able to live with that. she crossed the finish line in two hours and 51 minutes on what turned out to be a broken leg.

i�*m not sure it�*s a sensible thing to do, to run on a fractured leg, but it�*s just different for the olympics. going to have charlie and rose enter the venue and then also to the church. her next big challenge is very soon. she and charlie are getting married at the end of august. it might be charlie walking down the aisle at this rate. you�*ll be at the altar? yeah. and as for her running, she�*ll be on crutches for a while, but rose says she�*ll be back next year stronger and faster. a sub—3 hour marathon on a broken leg, rose harvey, the olympian who just would not give up. time for a look at the weather. here�*s darren bett. thanks. good evening to stop it was not as hot or humid today but in the sunshine in suffolk, temperatures are still reached 29. other parts of the uk have cold off a bit and the rest of the week is quite mixed. there will be some sunshine around

but also some spells of rain. a bit of rain around at the moment and this cloud has been coming up from france, bringing some shares to the far south—east of england, heading up far south—east of england, heading up to suffolk, there could be some thunderstorms this evening before it moves away. most of the cloud and rain affecting wales the southwest and northern england. that rain usually a bit heavy, may ease as it slips down into the midlands, further north with clear skies, it will be a bit chilly, temperatures could be as low as six or seven in parts of scotland. but where we keep the cloud in england and wales an awful lot warmer. a different —looking day through the midlands, lancashire and the south—east, not as much sunshine as today, merkel, rain from time to time but most places becoming drier, more sunshine and will the southwest and northern england, some sunshine in scotland but clouding over later in northern ireland. temperatures for many the same as today but not as warm as today across the south—east and east anglia. cooling down a bit because the weather is coming in from the

atlantic, and the winds will be picking up in the northwest overnight and bringing some rain as we head into thursday, across scotland and northern ireland were quite steady and heavy rain for a while. moving slowly southwards so it�*s later we will see some rain... some sunshine after the rain but we should get more sunshine to the midlands across east anglia at the south—east for a bit longer, meaning it will start to warm up a bit, temperatures easily into the mid 20s, may be a touch higher. it will start to warm up a bit, temperatures easily into the mid 20s, may be a touch higher. at colderfor scotland and northern ireland. the prospect of a decent weekend on the way. thanks, darren. and that�*s bbc news at six. time for the news hello and welcome to sportsday — i�*m jane dougall. it looked bad, but we now have confirmation that england captain ben stokes is out for the rest of the summer with a hamstring tear and will miss the test series against sri lanka.
