hello, i'm ben brown. you're watching the context on bbc news. the uk's first earth imaging satellite launches into space — as britain aims to make it's first steps to becoming a global space power. the world health organisation says the lessons learned from the covid—19 pandemic, must be applied to the latest strain of mpox, which has been detected for the first time outside of africa. the world health organisation also encouraged wealthier countries to share their vaccine stockpiles — but insisted there was no need to panic.

it follows an update in travel advice from the european centre for disease prevention and control — who said travellers should consider getting vaccinated against mpox if travelling to affected parts of africa. question to susie boniface, a daily mirror columnist also known as the fleet street foxchime asonye, a democratic strategist. post covid—19 we are nervous and fearful of a disease like this spreading across borders. fist fearful of a disease like this spreading across borders. at the moment doesn't _ spreading across borders. at the moment doesn't seem _ spreading across borders. at the moment doesn't seem like - spreading across borders. at the i moment doesn't seem like there's spreading across borders. at the - moment doesn't seem like there's any transmission outside of africa and i suspect it will be like the opposite of covid—i9 and that as long as it's only the worlds poorest people suffering from it, most of the west are not going to be having a huge panic massive vaccine drive stop by there is a case in sweden. that was somebody who travelled not someone who was outside of africa and that

fluid stays and i think declaring it as a crisis is something that steps it up and precipitates some of the vaccines and some of the findings and donations that are needed to have vaccinations in the right places to tackle the outbreak which is what is happened before were there that has been outbreaks but there that has been outbreaks but there is a lesson unto any disease starts affecting rich white countries, the world in general doesn't do a huge amount about these things and they see it as a local problem and it has local solutions. is anyone very concerned about monkeypox?— is anyone very concerned about monke ox? _ ., , , monkeypox? the emergency group but ost monkeypox? the emergency group but post covid-19. — monkeypox? the emergency group but post covid-19, africa's _ monkeypox? the emergency group but post covid-19, africa's cdc _ monkeypox? the emergency group but post covid-19, africa's cdc also - post covid—19, africa's cdc also declared — post covid—19, africa's cdc also declared an emergency taken by the growing _ declared an emergency taken by the growing strains of the continent and it's very— growing strains of the continent and it's very true that this is a challenge in africa and people are

from a greggs and from a lush cosmetics store, he started handing out items to other looters. hull crown court heard claims that after he was arrested honey had asked a prison probation officer if he "wanted his autograph" because he was "famous" and "all over social media". about 460 people have been arrested so far in connection with the disorder in parts of the uk, and at least 99 sentences handed down. susie boniface, a daily mirror columnist also known as the fleet street foxchime asonye, a democratic strategist. these are really tough sentences and they have been very quick and the criminaljustice they have been very quick and the criminal justice system they have been very quick and the criminaljustice system has been cranked up to work all hours, all

the days it's been very speedy justice it seems to have had the effect of deterring further unrest. i think that's one of the benefits of having one of the new prime ministers and there is a need to make sure that the cps of prosecuting these cases rapidly we could see where they would do next weekend and keir starmer knew which buttons to press and who to talk to to get it done and i'm not sure that borisjohnson, had he been in charge with none the same things but the sentences can sound quite harsh for the crimes that were committed here were quite harsh. and he is attacking a car with three people in it and they are terrified they're going to be terrified for a long time to come especially if they see anyone wearing that type of shirt. the reason why the synthesis of come out already as good as these are the guys who pleaded guilty and they have not bothered to argue the case and really good for the sake we are

seeing now for the crimes they have committed in pleading guilty to violent disorder, racially aggravated criminal damage, damaging someone's property because of the race and attempted arson and that get you six years and if you try that sort of thing and she would buy a hate and racism, i'm afraid you're going to be doing time bullet is different here is that these are laws we've had for a long time and it's not anything special being done but what is different here is that if you're waiting for the criminal justice system to deal with these events that been down the street on a random afternoon, you'll be waiting a year before he got to court and it's been sped up, especially for this to make sure that disorder did not spread and it has worked. that disorder did not spread and it has worked-— that disorder did not spread and it has worked. . , �* ., . .., . has worked. hasn't had much coverage in the united — has worked. hasn't had much coverage in the united states, _ has worked. hasn't had much coverage in the united states, the _ has worked. hasn't had much coverage in the united states, the unrest - has worked. hasn't had much coverage in the united states, the unrest has i in the united states, the unrest has beenin in the united states, the unrest has been in the united kingdom and the stench of sentences —— has it? it is

it's part of the uk's minerva programme which aims to increase intellgience, surveillance and reconnaisance capabilities in space. it's launch signifies what the commander of uk space command says is the start of many more satellite launches — all moving towards the uk becomming a major space power by 2030. let's talk more about this — joining me now is allen antrobus — chair of the the defence committee at uk space. thank you for being with us and tell us more about this whole project, the satellite and what will be used for and why it is important to have this launch. it’s for and why it is important to have this launch-— this launch. it's really important for a coople _ this launch. it's really important for a couple of _ this launch. it's really important for a couple of reasons - this launch. it's really important for a couple of reasons firstly, l this launch. it's really importantj for a couple of reasons firstly, it is the first earth imaging satellite of the defence has fully owned and they buy into this and this is a significant step forwards in terms of capability is that they seek to

be less reliant on partners, particularly the us and commercial operators where it the earth imaging is from. and secondly, it's really important that the uk space sector, the satellite is being pushed in by satellites limited by world leaders in building these sorts of capabilities and overall, the great first step, we now want to see is the wider programme move forward in terms of developing a proper operational capability which will be one of the outcomes of strategic defence review that is ongoing at the moment. this defence review that is ongoing at the moment-— the moment. this is usually “pensive. _ the moment. this is usually expensive, isn't _ the moment. this is usually expensive, isn't it _ the moment. this is usually| expensive, isn't it especially the moment. this is usually - expensive, isn't it especially with all these other satellite launches.

ss tl has been again, those world leaders and bringing down the cost of designing and developing satellites and the cost of the satellites and the cost of the satellite can range from anywhere to 20 to 30 million and we are seeing those costs coming down even further as we going into mass production and the cost of launch has already come down and driven by space x who have seen launch over a hundred 1516 satellites even the cost of launches comes down and that is made space more accessible and particularly for the uk, i think that is difficult to know and understand because we can start to develop capabilities beyond the larger more expensive satellites which is what we have traditionally bought for things like skynet we can

now start to add to our defence and security capabilities with these smaller and more agile and more capable earth imaging satellites and they are really important for modern warfare. ., . ., i. they are really important for modern warfare. ., . ., ,, ~' , warfare. how much do you think is about military _ warfare. how much do you think is about military capabilities - warfare. how much do you think is about military capabilities and - warfare. how much do you think isj about military capabilities and how much is it about the uk becoming a space power, ultimately? ads, space power, ultimately? combination of both in modern defendants forces cannot operate without data from space and we simply would not be able to operate at the speed, reach and tempo they are used to and we get most of that data from the us and again, this would demonstrate to our partners that we are committed to supporting them in terms of building and designing space assets and i think you are right, currently you can

probably make a strong argument that were not even the first or second tier space power, we sit somewhere below some of our european nations and way below the us or even china and way below the us or even china and we need to step up our game and we are the only p5 nation that does not have any earth imaging satellites that support defence and security until today.— security until today. thank you for s-ueakin security until today. thank you for speaking with _ security until today. thank you for speaking with us. _ security until today. thank you for speaking with us. you _ security until today. thank you for speaking with us. you are - security until today. thank you for| speaking with us. you are watching bbc news. stay with us.

been watching bbc news. hello from the bbc sport centre. day one of the new premier league season is drawing to a close — and there looks as though there's been a dramatic finish to the opening match. manchester united appeared to be heading towards a goalless draw against fulham — until new signing joshua zirkzee scored on his debut in the 87th minute — just a few seconds remain — still 1—0 to united. tomorrow — it'll be the turn of liverpool — when they face premier league newboys ipswich town at portman road at lunchtime. it'll the first time we see new liverpool manager arne slot in the dugout for a premier league match — after he replaced jurgen klopp — and the dutchman is looking forward to getting going.

we are always talking here about transfers but is very positive that we can do so we are in a good place of the moment and i've said many times already, they left the team and a good place and will try to go from there and last season was also a season where they could win a trophy we are hoping and aiming for that will not be easy and a lot of good teams in the premier leagues of strength in their squads and we're forward to the challenge. it's been a busy day of transfer activity in the premier league today. tottenham hotspur have signed winger wilson odobert from burnley, whilst cameron archer has moved from aston villa to southampton. and bournemouth have a new striker too. they've completed the signing of evanilson for a record breaking fee of 40 million pounds from porto. evanilson is a brazil international, having won his first of two senior international caps earlier this year.

in the championship, coventry are on course for their first point of the season. they're currently drawing two all at home to newly promoted oxford united. the visitors had to work hard to keep the match even. they've had to come from behind twice at the cbs arena. mark harris was fortunate to put this one away. there are a few minutes added time left in that match. a busy night in europe too — as the french top league ligun un got under way — and a winning start for the defending champions as paris saint—germain beat le harve 4—1. meanwhile in germany — four goals too for bayern munich — and one of them to harry kane. he rounded off their win in the opening round of the german cup — as they beat second division side ulm 4—0. to tennis, and britain's cameron norrie has withdrawn from the us open — which starts a week on monday. norrie is still suffering with the forearm injury which also prevented him playing in the olympics. with andy murray's retirement, jack draper and dan evans are currently the only british men in the main draw in new york. well, draper is currently competing in cincinatti ahead of the final tennis major of the year — and has a tough test in the next round. he'll face canada's felix auger

aliassime in the last 16 — after he beat past casper ruud. auger alisassime winning 6—3, 6—1 injust over an hour to book his place in round three. no problems in the women's draw for world number one iga swiatek. she eased past ukraine's marta kostyuk — winning in straight sets in 40 minutes, dropping just four games. richard pyrah, who was sacked in 2021 amid the yorkshire racism scandal, has been named as the county's new women's head coach. pyrah was found to have used racist slurs by a cricket discipline commission panel in march last year, fined £2,500 and banned from coaching for two weeks. pyrah — who won a claim of unfair dismissal against yorkshire in 2022 — spent 10 years playing for yorkshire and took 296 wickets across all formats of the game. japan's hideki matsuyama and american denny mccarthy are the two men to catch as the halfway mark of golf�*s fedex championship approaches —

holding the clubhouse lead on 11 under par. but coming up behind in the chasing pack — sits england'sjustin rose. he's three shots back heading into the weekend after a second round of 66. scotland's bob macintyre is a shot further back on 7 under par. whilst at the scottish open, meghan khang and minjee lee are the two women to catch. they'rejoint top of the leaderboard on 8 under par. khang hit a 4 under par round of 68 in troon, to move to 8 under par overall while lee went round in 69. england's charley hull is tied third, two shots back. british cyclist pfeiffer georgi has revealed she suffered neck fractures and a broken hand — after crashing in yesterday's stage of the tour de france femmes. georgi was caught in a mass pile—up and was forced to abandon the race. cedrine kerbaol has become the first french stage winner in the past three editions of the tour. her victory on stage six moved her up to second overall behind race leader

katarzyna niewiadoma of poland. and that's all the sport for now. hello there. it felt warm in the sunshine earlier today. and over the weekend, there will be some more sunshine at times. very quiet weather over the weekend. not too much changing from one day to the next. many places will remain dry. this was the picture earlier today. that weather front has moved to the south of us. we are seeing more cloud coming into northern parts of scotland and that is where we see the showers. but there was not too much cloud in the midlands today, lovely and warm in the sunshine. last night, we saw some big differences in the weather. 18 celsius in kent, 3 celsius last night in aberdeenshire, but things will be different overnight tonight.

we have stronger winds, they will tend to ease. showers becoming fewer, and many places becoming dry overnight. to the south we have the clearer skies and lighter winds. temperatures as low as 7 celsius in southern england and the midlands, not as cold as last night in the north—east of scotland. starting off on a sunny note for much of the country tomorrow. there will be some cloud build—up, some showers threatening the north—west of england and northern ireland and western scotland, but many places will have a dry day. we will see more sunshine across the south—east of england and east anglia. this is where we will have the highest temperatures similar to today. should be a bit warmer in the sunshine in north—east scotland. this high over the azores, the pressure toward scandinavia leaving us with a run of westerly winds, which may pick up a little bit as we head into sunday, particularly in the south, where we should see a lot of sunshine on sunday, most of the build—up of cloud

is further north where we will see the bulk of showers coming into western scotland. for the most part it will be dry. temperatures for most of us not changing much. it could be a little bit cooler in scotland and northern ireland. some changes on the way for the start of next week. pressure is going to be dropping here in the atlantic and cloud and rain will be moving in, but it will start off dry and sunny, in the west we will feel the winds picking up in the southwest and over the irish sea. cloud thickening in western areas to bring some wet weather particularly into northern ireland and western scotland, but ahead of that for the midlands and eastern england it should stay dry and there will be some sunshine, and it will feel warm, with temperatures in the mid 20s.

tonight at ten, ukraine blows up a key bridge in russia used by moscow to supply its troops as part of its cross—border incursion. kyiv releases images from the start of its offensive 11 days ago — an attack on a russian border checkpoint. this is the main route from ukraine's sumy region into russia itself. you have to imagine it as an artery. and as advances start to slow, the question becomes, what next? also tonight — the longest sentences yet for two men who took part in riots in england. one gets nearly five years, the other, six. victims of the infected blood scandal will get compensation payments by the end of the year — more than £2 million for some. and as manchester united and fulham kick off the new premier league

season, we'll be looking at issues facing clubs on and off the pitch.
