announced new sanctions against belarus, in response to last weekend�*s forced diversion of a ryanair flight to minsk, and the subsequent arrest of an opposition journalist. us presidentjoe biden has released his first annual budget, a £42 trillion spending plan that includes steep tax increases for wealthier americans. the proposal includes huge new social programmes and investment in the fight against climate change, but it still needs approvalfrom congress. a social media trend that involves using tiny magnets as fake tongue piercings has led the nhs to call for them to be banned over safety concerns. in england alone, 65 children have required urgent surgery after swallowing toy magnets in the last three years. 0ur health correspondent, katharine da costa, is here.

a decade ago was, for all involved, a tra nsformative moment. that day, it changed the course of my life. it�*s a life—changing game. it was described then as the £90 million game, but it was more than that for us all. the season comes to an inevitable conclusion for swansea city. the heartbreak of relegation followed a seven season stay in the premier league. now, the chance to return. it would mean everything, wouldn�*t it, so we know without maybe talking about it too much, what i can show supporters much, what i can assure supporters and yourselves is we know exactly what it means, this game, and it�*s our biggest motivation. at brentford, meanwhile, this is all new. a home built for the future, ready for success. the big occasions, the biggest guests, now, a game away. we all know that if we win, you know, everyone know the headlines of the newspapers,

and we also know the headlines of newspapers if we lose, and both things can happen, so we need to go in with that open minded, but of course believe and think we can do and win. a win would see brentford into the premier league they were beaten finalists last year — in fact they failed in their last nine play—off efforts. what a time to change that. wembley can be cruel, but it can also bring those unimaginable riches. that famous arch, a gateway to the biggest stage. adam wild, bbc news. kick off is at 3.00. great britain is one of seven nations taking part in the european athletics team championships in poland, which starts today. gb will be captained by european and commonwealth bronze medallist jake wightman. he usually runs the 1500 metres but has switched to the 800 metres for

the next news on bbc one is at 20 past five. bye for now. hello. you�*re watching the bbc news channel. i�*m lukwesa burak. let�*s get more on the news that the belarusian opposition leader, svetlana tikhanovskaya, is calling for protests worldwide today in solidarity with belarus. the us is tightening sanctions against belarus — after the forced diversion of a commercial flight to minsk and the subsequent arrest of an opposition journalist. earlier, i spoke to our correspondent, 0lga ivshina, in london , and i asked her

what impact the us sanctions were likely to have on the belarusian president alexander lukashenko. first of all the sanctions are going to address the closed circle of his allies and people from his administration, but what is also important is that from the 3rd of june, the sanctions are going to be addressed and they are going to touch nine state—funded enterprises and this means that the sanctions will also have an impact on the of belarus and people who live in belarus, and this means that the already struggling economy is going to struggle even more and that is the problem not only for the leader but also for the people of the country. is president putin likely to be comfortable openly supporting the president? it seems that he already is, you know.

and yesterday�*s meeting it lasted for more than five hours and there was an open part where they joked and putin had invited the president to swim. the water is 10 degrees, it is not that warm. and that is exactly the relations between russia and belarus. not that warm, but they are allies. he was pursuing his own goals and was critical of moscow on some occasions, and the balance of europe, china and russia. he is not seen as a stable partner for but for putin it is so important to keep him in power. for him, it is so important to show that he strongly supports him and he is not going to tolerate revolution in any of his neighbouring countries to happen any more. in what form or that support come from russia? it is hard to say at the moment.

the details of the negotiations are still not revealed to the press, but it is quite possible that belarus will ask for more economic help from moscow because the economy does need a strong hand. but we need to remember that the russian economy is doing not so great, too. and even though mr putin is definitely comfortable supporting him in public there is growing concern in putin�*s and other economic and political social circles of russia. there will be pressure on him to. the main trouble here is there is this demand and hope for change in the belarus in people but the price for a change for individuals too high. but the price for russia of the absence of change is quite acceptable.

the headlines on bbc news: thousands of manchester city and chelsea fans are in portugal where the teams meet for the champions league final. the us imposes sanctions on belarus — calling the forced diversion of a passenger plane �*an affront to international norms�*. a teenager appears in court charged with conspiracy to murder over the shooting of the black lives matter activist, sasha johnson. with indoor pools closed in the uk during much of the pandemic, swimming in rivers has become more popular , and galvanised concern about the state of the country�*s waterways. with leisure activities around rivers expected to hit record levels this bank holiday weekend, a conservation charity has launched an app to provide the uk�*s only real—time water quality information for water sports enthusiasts. tom webb reports.

at a time when many of us have been discovering our natural waterways is a place for leisure, the uk ranks just 25th out of 30 european nations for water quality, which is why the usually ocean—focused charity surfers against sewage is turning its attention inland with the use of a new app. 0ur rivers are sadly in a shocking state. 0nly14% meeting good ecological status, and none meeting good chemical status. and the app is really, really important. it gives people the real—time, live data on sewage and agricultural pollution of their favourite beaches and bathing spots on rivers. sewage discharges are only legal in certain very limited circumstances. but despite this, last year water companies in england did

so more than 400,000 times, 837% rise from the previous year. this occurred for 3 million hours. 0ne treatment were cologne dumped over1 billion litres in one day, the equivalent of 400 0lympic swimming fulls of sewage. and it�*s not only a threat to the environment, as andy tassell discovered when swimming with friends in the river dee in chester last summer. when we got in, the water looked pretty clear. within a matter of an hour or two, started to feel pretty queasy. it knocked me off pretty much anything, spent two days in bed. but for many, the benefits outweigh the potential risks. health worker susi halley discovered her love for wild swimming with her friends, even turning it into a way to raise money for fellow front line workers experiencing problems with their mental health. i kind of took on this challenge to swim in the thames every day for 28 days in february, which was magical, and this really incredibly positive thing alongside this really challenging and difficult thing i was doing in the hospital. while surfers against sewage

are hoping that users of the app will be more safe when using the waterways, they�*re also hoping it will act as a campaigning tool. the safer seas and rivers service will allow people to contact their mp and their water company�*s ceo in their catchment every time there is a pollution incident. to the environment agency says it�*s working actively with the water companies to ensure overflows are properly controlled, and the harm they do to the environment is stopped. many of us will continue to use the rivers this weekend, despite the potential pollution from sewage, but environmental charities are hoping that the increasing use of our waterways will turn the tide in the campaign for cleaner waters. tom webb, bbc news. the former lead singer of the undertones, fergal sharkey, is a passionate campaigner for cleaner rivers. he blames water companies for the polluted state of the uk�*s waterways. it is a shocking illustration of exactly we are now at the stop

what you�*re actually seeing, in fact, is a failure of politics, failure of regulation of the industry, and indeed, chronic and massive underinvestment by the industry in its own infrastructure. regardless of statements made by the environment agency, the brutal truth is water companies have paid out almost £60 billion in dividends to their shareholders whilst filling our river is full of sewage. are you seeing that the government has allowed them to do this, then? it�*s quite clear, in my interpretation of the law, that this should only ever happen in exceptional circumstances. no one has yet explained to me how you can possibly comprehend 3.1 million hours a year is anything remotely exceptional. i am surely asserting and comfortable an awful lot of it does not comply with the law, does not comply with what a companies permits. the example you gave of modern sewage treatment works, in london, last year,

over 3.5 billion litres of sewage dumped into the river. government have simply turned the policy of the polluter pays into one of it pays to pollute. billions of cicadas have emerged in the east of america, after spending 17 years underground. the insects spend almost their entire lifecycle below the surface, as nada tawfik reports. it is a sight and sound that will make your skin crawl. billions of periodical cicadas emerging out of the earth and overtaking the eastern united states. the rare spectacle has americans in awe. it was deafening, really deafening. the grants have lived here for decades, and like clockwork, the brood ten cicadas have arrived at the same time every 17 years to mate. it can get so loud that some of theirfriends have mistaken the male insects�* droning song

for a police siren. because of my hearing disadvantages, i don�*t put my hearing aids in when i come out into the garden, otherwise i get the whole sound magnified. the mass emergence and its timing is all part of a clever survival strategy to evade predators. then the metamorphosis from nymph to adult happens relatively quickly. so here we have a fully—grown female that�*s now ready to mate and lay her eggs. she�*ll only live four to six weeks, though, after being underground for 17 years. this is when they are most vulnerable, right here, because their body is so soft. it�*s a magical time for entomologist drjessica ware, whose16—year—old daughter wasn�*t even alive the last time she saw these insects.

the world was a very different place back then. george bush was president, and facebook was just launched. you know, a lot of people, for centuries, have been calling these things locusts. but they�*re the opposite of locusts. they�*re not actually a plague, they�*re not destroying crops, they�*re actually living their life completely in exclusion of humans, and they�*re great nutrition. yes, you heard that right. these critters are a culinary delicacy. the cicadas are a flavour bomb. they have so much flavour, and add a sense of umame to the dish. chefjoseph has been cooking with this star ingredient to encourage americans to reimagine bugs as a protein rich, sustainable food source. i think i�*m ready. may i? yes, please. ok, i�*m going to go with this one here. bug appetit! a burst of springtime in your mouth. there's a booth for the sound and lights... for others, the noisy critters are just downright disruptive. it�*s safe to say shakespeare is not in love with the cicada. this theatre company has had to cut its outdoor season short. the last time i directed a show out

here, i sat over there with two huge badminton rackets and just screamed as they came at me and swatted them away. the takeover may be dramatic, but it�*s temporary. soon the larvae of the new generation will burrow their way into the ground, resetting the 17—year cycle. nada tawfik, bbc news, newjersey. officials in california say the man who shot dead nine fellow employees at a rail yard in sanjose on wednesday had amassed an arms stockpile in his home which included a dozen guns, materials to make molotov cocktails and 22—thousand rounds of ammunition. the attack ended when 57—year—old sam cassidy turned his gun on himself. we know sniffer dogs can detect drugs, explosives and even diseases these days — and now man�*s best friend is moving into the drinks business.

this is rocco the cocker spaniel, the newest member of staff at the william grant distillery on the west coast of scotland. he�*s been trained to sniff out impurities in the oak barrels before they�*re filled, so that none of the whisky goes to waste. australia�*s national university in canberra has offered to return thousands of blood samples taken from indigenous people over many decades. the specimens collected from 35 aboriginal communities have been held without their consent. some indigenous groups want to donate the samples to science, but others want them back for spiritual reasons there�*s been conflicting reports that a second volcano has erupted in eastern congo, threatening the virunga national park which is home to a quarter of the world�*s critically endangered mountain gorillas. is a �*false alarm�*

endangered mountain gorillas. now the government there says reports of a new eruption is a �*false alarm�* there was an eruption 18 days ago that hit the city and many people had to evacuate. hello there. we finally got there, it has been a miserable may, but we are closing the bank holiday weekend with some dry, settled and sunny weather. i know there has been some low cloud, mist and fog around as depicted beautifully by these patient sheep in doncaster, but we are optimistic that that will break. the morning satellite picture showing how extensive the cloud was, and in some areas it was thick enough for early morning drizzle, but the sunshine nibbling

away at it quite nicely. into the afternoon there will be more sunshine coming through, temperatures will start to climb and that may well trigger the sunshine and the warmth in east anglia and south—east england. if you are out with friends and family this afternoon, don�*t forget uv levels, the son is very strong so we are expecting it to be high fairly widely across the country. the clear skies continue, the sunshine and the warmth continuing into the early evening, so if you are planning a barbecue, it should be fine and dry. through the night we could see a little bit of low cloud rolling in of the north sea. temperatures will hold off, ranging from 6—10 , but potentially a murky start once again along exposed coasts, but high pressure remains with us, slowly drifting eastwards, not that much in the way of wind around on sunday, but a good deal of dry weather once again in the forecast, that sunshine will nibble away at the cloud, a lovely afternoon in prospect for many, and again, just outside

chance of an isolated shower, but you really will be unlucky if you catch one of those, temperatures perhaps up to around 22, possibly 23 degrees once again. as we move out of sunday into monday, the high pressure continues to drift off into the north sea. the wind will pick up, but coming in off the near continent, a warmer source of air, so bank holiday monday could be warmer still. we could see potentially temperatures peaking at 23 or 24 celsius, and that is above average for the time of year. and it does look as though this trend will continue for the week ahead, and it is half term, just getting that little bit fresher as we go through the week, but a lot of dry weather for our first week ofjune.
