president lukashenko regime. and just as you mentioned, they worked in poland for a broadcast of music generated content and to belarus, to millions of subscribers to social media and then went in lithuania and the parents are still living now, should i say, and poland and the attendant did the demonstration in warsaw butjust over hundred people actually and organisers talked about the need for what they wanted to see was the european union taking a much tougher line and introducing tougher economic sanctions and also recognising president lukashenko as an international terrorist and criminal. . , an international terrorist and criminal. ., , ., , criminal. what is the governments attitude? the _

the polish authorities and many of the polish authorities and many of the senior belarusian opposition leaders now live in exile and that the windy and night in poland. that is our correspondent. thank you. environment officials in sri lanka have warned the country is facing one of the worst ecological crises in its history, following a fire in a naval container off the country s coast. thousands of military personal have been deployed to clean up waves of micro plastics that have been washing ashore since the blaze last week. joe robinson has more. with each wave, the task ahead becomes tougher. millions of micro plastic pellets have already washed ashore. to be cleaned up by the army, navy and air force scrambled on the beach. this is an ecological disaster site. one team managed almost clear their section of the beach on friday night. 0nly almost clear their section of the beach on friday night. only to find it covered the following morning.

0ur north america correspondent, david willis, reports. president biden is looking to boost american manufacturing, and with it the lower and middle class. he's proposing a massive programme of public spending, the largest since the second world war, a plan that would add trillions of dollars to this country's national debt. last month, in a presidential address to congress, he said america's economy needed to be reimagined and rebuilt. my fellow americans. trickle down. trickle—down economics has never worked, and it's time to grow the economy from the bottom and the middle out. applause. the president's proposals include spending $4.5 trillion on infrastructure and social

programmes over the course of the next decade, an additional $14 billion on climate initiatives designed to accelerate the move away from fossil fuels, and more than $2 billion on addressing the problems caused by gun violence, including provisions for tighter background checks. all paid for by tax increases on wealthy americans and big corporations. republican reaction was sharp and severe. "president biden�*s proposal would drown american families in debt, deficits and inflation," tweeted mitch mcconnell, the republican leader in the senate. all setting the stage for a bitter fight in congress over what democrats regard as the long—overdue redistribution of wealth, and their opponents see as a return to the dark days of big government. the party's differences were laid bare only hours earlier, when senate republicans voted to block the formation of a commission to investigate the events of january the 6th,

a day which saw hundreds of donald trump supporters storm the capitol building in washington, dc, delaying the certification ofjoe biden as president. republicans feared such a commission could harm their chances in next year's congressional elections. the senate leader accused them of seeking to sweep the events ofjanuary the 6th under the rug. out of fear or fealty to donald trump, the republican minorityjust prevented the american people from getting the full truth about january the 6th. the republican minorityjust prevented the senate from even debating the bill. no opportunity for amendments, no opportunity for debate. there was an attempt by the republican minority to shunt this vote into the dark of night. but because of today's senate time agreement, it was done in broad daylight. the american people will see how each republican senator voted. the vote ends any chance of a nonpartisan inquiry into the events of that fateful day.

it also underlines the widening gulf between the two parties going into the difficult months of budget negotiation that lie ahead. the award—winning tv producer charlie hanson has been removed from the netflix production �*after life' and suspended from bafta, following accusations of historical sexual misconduct. in a 5,000—word document emailed to netflix and bafta, 11 women accuse mr hanson of misconduct ranging from 2008 to 2015. charlie hanson denies the accusations. actor and writer ricky gervais, who created the after life series, said he was "shocked and appalled" by the allegations. and staying with football — brentford have won in they beat swansea 2—0 at wembley in the show piece final — the championship play—off final. they beat swansea 2—0 at wembley in the show piece final — it'll be the first time brentford have played in the premier league.

—— club. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz shafernaker. sunny skies and over 20 degrees. we've got a few more days of this on the way. beautiful evenings, perfect for a walk in the park. or some time in the beer garden, you've earned it. but mind the sunshine, it's strong, you've not been used to it for quite some time now, so you may want to consider sunscreen if you're out the whole day. ok, let's have a look at the forecast then. and the warm weather has spread much across the uk but into scandinavia and many other parts of europe as this high pressure continues to build. the winds are light, there's plenty of sunshine, it was a beautiful day on the east coast today. but out towards the west, you can see a little bit more cloud. that cloud is in the process of melting away. so, through this evening and overnight, we are talking about largely clear skies. however, we have got some low

cloud in the north sea and a bit of onshore wind, so that does mean by the early hours of sunday morning, it could turn quite overcast and murky on the north sea coast and in fact, all the way down to the kent coast. but elsewhere, it is sunshine from the word go. so, a stunning start to the day across so many parts of the uk but that low grey cloud will be flirting with the north sea coast. so, let's have a closer look. this is 3pm on sunday. a little chilly for our friends in there with 10 degrees and some cloud. the cloud just off the coast of aberdeenshire there, but possibly lapping off to the coast of yorkshire, maybe lincolnshire, the norfolk coast but elsewhere inland, hardly a cloud in the sky. 22 degrees. perfect weather. into bank holiday monday, the warm air continues to spread across the uk, light winds. there is a weather frontjust to the west of our neighbourhood and the cold air is kept at bay out in the atlantic. 0n bank holiday monday, temperatures 23 in london, 23 in liverpool and into the 20s for glasgow and also for edinburgh. high—pressure still with us on tuesday, the weather front still kept at bay and the winds

are coming in from the south in the southern clims. i think our warmest day will be on tuesday, peaking at around 25 in london, we could hit the mid—20s further north, 20 degrees for belfast with some sunshine as well. how long is going to last? it's certainly going to last until tuesday, but by the time to get a wednesday, there could be some thunderstorms in the way. but, you know what? that's a long way off, let's enjoy the sunshine for now.

hello this is bbc news. the headlines... thousands of manchester city and chelsea fans are in portugal where the teams meet for the champions league final in half an hour. it will mean absolutely everything. we've been fantastic since 2008 with every trophy that is available to us apart from this one. you have to wear the mask around so it's often sweaty. it's really inconvenient but obviously on the flight of well, but it is worth it. a teenager appears in court charged with conspiracy to murder, following the shooting of sasha johnson, the black lives matter activist. dozens of demonstrations have taken place around the world to show solidarity with the people of belarus.
