hello, thanks for joining hello, thanks forjoining us. votes are being counted in mexico after midterm elections seen as a test of support for president andres manuel lopez obrador. he's hoping his party will retain its two—thirds majority in congress to continue his programme of social and institutional reforms. mexicans were also electing local mayors and half the state governors. our correspondent will grant is in mexico city for us and says the violence also reached some polling stations. although it wasn't attacks with — necessarily with guns, with saw videos of polling stations being attacked by unknown activists from one side or the other,

voting being shut down in oaxaca at one point, at one polling station there, so sporadic elements of electoral intimidation or violence. but by and large, this has been an election day that has passed off peacefully and most voters sort of turned out because they were angry about a variety of things or very much behind president manuel lopez obrador's broader project of social and political reforms. and you will be waiting to see how much of his support he is hanging onto? because he is very well—placed coming into this election. he is in a very unassailable position, certainly as president, because there is only one term of office of six years. but also in terms of, i think, some of that groundswell of support at the state level, the local level, but this will be the litmus test because, of course, since the point that he came into office there has been the coronavirus pandemic — 230,000 mexicans

have lost their lives during the pandemic at least, and i think the referendum that you mentioned will be very much on how he was seen to handle that. and all eyes, really, in terms of mexico watchers, are looking at the congress and the vote there to see if he retains the supermajority of two—thirds of the parliament. and the difference being if he loses two—thirds but keeps a majority, how much of an impact does that have on him rolling out his own programme? i think itjust makes matters a lot harderfor him. this is a very ambitious programme that he calls �*the fourth transformation of mexico'. he puts it on a par with mexican independence. and he's basically saying that he wants nothing less than the root and branch redrawing of the political landscape in mexico, of the social landscape — basically to break the stranglehold of the traditional parties. it does look like, to some extent, morena has managed to do that over recent years but whether he will be able

to push forward with the social reforms, push greater sort of things like pension reforms, things like that, well, that very much depends on how his turnout has been today. will grant there. let's just take you over to bangkok for a moment. here's some live pictures of thailand's ambitious mass covid—19 vaccination programme being rolled out with the country in the middle of a severe covid outbreak. million, have received at least one dose of a vaccine. by by and large as it is the 0xford—astrazeneca vaccine is that, thailand is the hub for south australia —— southeast asia for the production of that vaccine. israeli police have released two palestinians who campaigned against the threatened eviction of families in the sheikh jarrah neighbourhood of occupied east jerusalem. twins muna and mohammed el—kurd were detained on sunday morning.

from jerusalem, our middle east correspondent tom bateman reports. israeli police take muna el—kurd away in handcuffs. "don't be afraid," she tells her family. their case has grabbed global attention as palestinians again face being uprooted. supporters gather outside the police station where muna and her twin brother mohammed are held. theirfather nabil waits outside. "i don't care if they arrested them," he says, "because they're fighting forjerusalem. and for sheikh jarrah. they're fighting for the quality of their life, for the right to live in their home." then, as muna is released... explosions. allah! ..israeli forces fired stun grenades towards the crowds and the press. we had to run, and it's

still extremely tense here. explosions. there are more firecrackers now and more stun grenades. you can just see how this case crystallises the current tension injerusalem. explosions. it's not all over yet. explosions. the el—kurds and several other families face eviction from their homes to make way forjewish settlers in sheikh jarrah. israel claims it's a private housing dispute, accusing palestinian factions of making it a nationalist cause. i met muna in may as the family have brought new attention to the issue on social media, and supporters came to the street. i feel not safe. ifeel weak, although i'm strong, but i feel weak because i'm facing a whole government from america and from other countries in the world. —— because i'm facing a whole

government that's supported from america and from other countries in the world. we won't leave, we won't leave. clashes erupted and police protected settlers in the road. the case added to surging tensions injerusalem, culminating in last month's war in the region. in a statement, israel police said they detained muna el—kurd on suspicion of rioting. they said she was arrested under court order. they didn't respond when asked the details of when the alleged incident happened. muna and her brother had both been released. but with more friction likely injerusalem this week and israel in the midst of political turbulence, the air once again feels volatile. tom bateman, bbc news, jerusalem. something rather different for you now. the duke and duchess of sussex have announced the birth of their second child — a baby girl who they've named after queen elizabeth and princess diana, harry's mother.

the couple have not released any photos of lilibet diana mountbatten—windsor, who was born on friday in california. here's our royal correspondent daniela relph, whose report contains some flashing images. it was a photo that announced a second baby was on the way, taken in the garden of their new home in california in february. and it was close to here, at santa barbara cottage hospital, that their daughter was born on friday, weighing 7 pounds, 11 ounces. in a statement, the couple said that they felt blessed. their daughter will be called lilibet diana mountbatten—windsor. she'll be known as �*lili'. it's a name loaded with royal significance. lilibet was the queen's childhood family nickname, diana, in honour of lili's late grandmother, the princess of wales. lili's older brother archie was born while the couple still lived in the grounds of windsor castle with

royal great—grandparents nearby. bagpipes skirl. two years later, family tensions have changed the dynamic dramatically. lili will be raised in california by a duke and a duchess carving out a life outside of the royal family. daniela relph, bbc news. how about that for a view? it looks lovely, doesn't it? human rights experts have raised concerns over a billion—dollar tourism project on the indonesian island dubbed the �*new bali'. more than 200 families have been forced to move to make way for resorts and an international grand prix motorcycle circuit. bbc indonesia's valdya baraputri has taken a look at the controversial development. the beaches of south lombok have long attracted tourists, particularly surfers. but now, the indonesian government

wants mass tourism here. i'm standing on a decades—long plan of the indonesian government of turning this area into a luxurious tourism complex. this is the grand prix circuit area. as you can see, there's still work to be done here, but the government says this area will be ready for a world superbike event in a few months�* time and a motogp international in 2022. to make this possible, over 200 families from the indigenous sasak community were forced out. this used to be surfing instructor damar�*s house. translation: i'm - utterly broken-hearted. we have given up our land. i'm crushed. for years, i tried to build my village. the circuit project has destroyed all of my work. the united nations office of human rights says the project tramples on human and environmental rights, accusing the indonesian government of using threats and intimidation.

and what is really very troubling is that the work has started without the families being actually relocated, resettled in adequate conditions. they will be in temporary settlements without means of livelihood, without an ability to make a decent living, and that is just not acceptable. the state—owned developer insists they have paid their compensation, and says the un critics have failed to show evidence of land—grabbing. translation: it's an attempt to give indonesia a bad name. | we paid the locals as much as we could, even though the tourism industry is experiencing a slump at the moment. a total of us$96 million has been paid to the locals to fulfil their rights. developers have built this new village around 2km from the project, but families like erni's say there is no

land to farm there. translation: there is 'ust space for our house i at the new place. there is only a little bit of grass. honestly, i'm really upset. we have no power. we will have to move. we have no voice, because we are just poor people. surfing instructor damar�*s only hope now is he will be able to get a job in this new world of mass tourism. god forbid, when the construction�*s finished, we only become respected in our own home. joko says it is about bringing economic development. but locals fear it will only benefit a few at the top. valdya baraputri, bbc news, lombok. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: two tennis legends depart from the french open. are we seeing the end of an era in tennis?

the day the british liberated the falklands. and by tonight, british troops had begun the task of disarming the enemy. in the heart of the west german capital, this was gorby—mania at its height. the crowd packed to see the man who, for them, has raised great hopes for an end to the division of europe. it happened as the queen moved towards horse guards parade for the start of trooping the colour. gunshots the queen looks worried but recovers quickly. as long as they'll pay to go and see me. _ i'll get out there and kick 'em down the hills. - what was it like to be the first man to cross the channel by your own power? it's feels pretty neat. it feel marvellous, really.

—— it feels pretty neat. this is bbc world news. the latest headlines: votes are being counted in mexico's biggest and deadliest election, seen as a referendum on the policies of president obrador. israeli police have released two palestinians who campaigned against the threatened eviction of families in the sheikh jarrah neighbourhood of occupied east jerusalem. the health secretary in england, matt hancock, says the government is open to delaying the final lifting of coronavirus restrictions in a fortnight because of the spread of the delta variant, first detected in india. here's our medical editor, fergus walsh. everyjab in every arm is another brick in a wall of immunity

against coronavirus. but will that barrier be robust enough to hold back the delta variant, which is significantly more transmissible than previous strains and has led to a sharp increase in cases? ministers have just eight days before they must decide whether to lift all remaining restrictions in england. the good news is that hospitalisations, the number of people arriving at hospital, is broadly flat, and the majority appear to be those who've not had a vaccine at all, and only a very small minority are people who've had both jabs. around three quarters of all cases caused by the delta variant are in unvaccinated people. just one in 25 are in those who've had both doses. and although the variant, first identified in india, seems more likely to cause severe illness, those in hospital are generally younger and recovering more quickly than patients

admitted overwinter. scientists advising government are uncertain about what the coming weeks may bring in terms of the impact on the nhs. if hospitalisation rates remain flat, then i think there will be a substantial further easing of restrictions, possibly retaining the need to wear face coverings on public transport, maybe still encourage people to work from home if possible. and there were mixed views in london today about whether all remaining restrictions should be lifted on the 21st ofjune. it's more because i'm vaccinated right now that i would say yes, but depending on the people, if you're not vaccinated, i can understand if you're maybe not that co mforta ble. i would feel 0k sat next to someone on the train as long as they were wearing a mask, but i think the two going, social distancing and masks going at the same time, would probably be a bit much. it wouldn't bother me - if we waited a couple of weeks intojuly because of the indian variant. i i i think that element of cautionl

might be worthwhile in the long run for us. bolton, which was the area worst hit by the new variant, is now seeing a decline in cases and more importantly a fall in the number of covid hospital patients, which thankfully remained far lower than in previous peaks. in england, booking will open this week for the under—30s to get their first dose of vaccine. public support for covid immunisation remains very high in the uk. and with 27 million people now fully immunised, many of those will be wondering when legal restrictions on their freedoms to meet and travel will finally be lifted. fergus walsh, bbc news. turkey's president recep tayyip erdogan has pledged to clean up a thick layer of slimy sludge that's threatening the sea of marmara. it's blanketing harbours, shorelines and the sea bed, as courtney bembridge reports.

this is the so—called sea snot suffocating the seabed. a thick, slimy layer of organic matter has spread through the sea of marmara, south of istanbul, threatening marine life and the fishing industry. translation: of course this affects our work. - look at the mussels and the sea snails. it kills everything. you know what it does to the shellfish? when they open up, it prevents them from closing up again because it gets in the way. all of the sea snails here are dead. the sea snails die, the fish die, they can't breathe. scientists say climate change, pollution and waste water have contributed to the problem. this vision was filmed by a team at bbc turkish. reporter neyran elden dived into the sea of marmara this week and this is what she saw. the situation there under the water was very heartbreaking. under the water, we see that all the bottom of the sea was completely covered with the sea snot. it was like a white

curtain at the sea. we saw all of the marine livings were covered with it and they were dying. turkey's president has blamed the outbreak on untreated water from cities and has vowed quick action. translation: hopefully we will save our seas. i my fear is that if this expands to the black sea, the trouble will be enormous. we need to take this step without delay. his government has sent a team of 300 people to identify potential sources of pollution and turkey's environment minister has unveiled a disaster management plan. translation: we will put the sea of marmara under| protection. we will take all of the necessary steps in three years and we will save not only the present but hopefully also the future of marmara. a huge clean—up operation is planned for tuesday with all hands on deck. residents are being encouraged to get involved, alongside businesses and government agencies. courtney bembridge, bbc news.

two of the biggest names in tennis are now both out of the french open. roger federer abandoned his pursuit of a record 2ist grand slam title after voicing doubts over his match fitness. meanwhile serena williams's hopes of lifting her 24th title and tying australian margaret court's record were dashed after losing to 21—year—old kazakh elena rybakina in the fourth round. craig o'shannessy is one of the world's leading tennis tactics and strategy analysts. he's coached some of the world's best players such as novak djokovic. so, craig, very good to have you on the programme. let's just start if we can, i want to know what you think about roger federer and serena williams' chances of getting to the list but what you make of roger federer using a grand slam tournament is a bit of a sort of warmup for his own personal? on the surface, roger leaves

paris getting exactly what he wanted, he got three matches, he has openly sent that the clay—court season will be essentially a warmup for the main event which is the grasscourt season, so one layer of this is, roger is ok, we are all good. but there's another layer that speaks to integrity of our sport. what player is allowed to enter an event and leave it whenever they want? that just goes against everything in our sport. you are not allowed to just say i'm done, i'm using this as a warmup. then you are looking to prize money. dominic, kim carr made 100,000 pounds, if it won against federer he would have made a 100,000 pounds, so there's a lot of things that this can impact and the way roger leaves paris is going to

leave a bad taste in the mouth of many in tennis and, you know, it may not kick up much of a fuss right now but the next time a player further down the ranks wants to do the same thing and says well, roger left whenever he wanted, there's going to be drama.— whenever he wanted, there's going to be drama. because they will have to _ going to be drama. because they will have to say _ going to be drama. because they will have to say yeah, _ going to be drama. because they will have to say yeah, but - going to be drama. because they will have to say yeah, but he - will have to say yeah, but he is roger. a slightly different kettle of fish. that said, if he goes on and wins wimbledon, and it's a big if, as it, but if he does i'm sure all of this will be blown away in the past and he will be forgiven anything. can he do it? well, not will he?— anything. can he do it? well, not will he? yes, even in a few da s not will he? yes, even in a few days this _ not will he? yes, even in a few days this will _ not will he? yes, even in a few days this will blow _ not will he? yes, even in a few days this will blow over, - not will he? yes, even in a few days this will blow over, the i days this will blow over, the french federation kind of gave a blessing to roger to move on, so yes he can, there is no doubt about it, even a couple of years ago, i was coaching novak and did the game and prepared everything and he got within one point, so yes, roger definitely can win wimbledon. a

nice draw, novak going out early, a couple of the other big names, stefanos tsitsipas going out early, taking care of some business there, roger can get it done. some business there, roger can get it done-— get it done. let's turn our attention _ get it done. let's turn our attention to _ get it done. let's turn our attention to serena - get it done. let's turn our attention to serena who l get it done. let's turn our l attention to serena who will also turn a0 this year and she has had so many near misses on the 2ath grand slam. can she still win one more? i the 24th grand slam. can she still win one more?— still win one more? i think is tou~her still win one more? i think is tougherfor— still win one more? i think is tougher for serena. - still win one more? i think is tougher for serena. it's - still win one more? i think is| tougher for serena. it's been 16 tougherfor serena. it's been 16 grand slam is now since she last won a grand slam which is 2017 at the australian open. she needs confidence and matches, she has only won one matches, she has only won one match coming into roland—garros from the australian open. she did when three matches here but the style and the way she was this match against elena wasn't good, it wasn't serena—esque. she lost 15 more points and she

made 20 return errors and elayna made six limits 1a points right there so it's not difficult to find out what went wrong. she needs to work on her return, she needs to work on gaining her confidence and she needs matches and she says she has not can play any warmup events so i think it is tough for serena.— events so i think it is tough for serena. we will wait had see. thanks _ for serena. we will wait had see. thanks very _ for serena. we will wait had see. thanks very much - for serena. we will wait had i see. thanks very much indeed forjoining us from your rather blended tennis gallery there as well, good to see you, thank you. — your rather splendid. stars of the small screen here in the uk have celebrated their work at the annual bafta television awards. the big winner was michaela coel�*s "i may destroy you", she took best leading actress, director and drama writer. the bbc�*s colin paterson watched the prizes being handed out. i may destroy you. these bafta tv awards were dominated by one woman. michaela coel. the bbc one drama i may

destroy you was based on michaela coel�*s experience of being sexually assaulted. it was named best miniseries and she was best actress, to go along with baftas she had already won for directing and writing the show. speaking backstage, she explained how making the programme had been cathartic. i'm getting a bit emotional. it was, to be honest, incredible. it really helped me get past some troubling stuff. and what it enabled me to do is sort of pair something quite tragic with something quite beautiful. i did used to think i could read your mind at times. it's hoped that by the time of the baftas next year, normal service will have been resumed. colin paterson, bbc news. let's hope so but we will obviously need to wait and see on that. all of the details from the bafta awards are on the website as well so have a look there to see all of the

many other awards that were handed out on the night. you are watching bbc news. hello there. last week was the first week ofjune but it was also half term and the weather could not have been better. we quite literally had sunshine topping and tailing the country — as you can see by this weather watch picture sent in, from fife, all the way down to cornwall, not a cloud in the sky, light winds, lots of sunshine. the warmth peaked on wednesday and in fact it was the warmest day of the year so far across scotland, northern ireland, wales and also into england. our week ahead will be a little bit more mixed, unfortunately. particularly into the far north and west as we see weather fronts just toppling in across an area of high pressure. that's going to bring some cloud and increasing, strengthening wind at well at times, and this further

south in the east will keep warmer, drier and sunnier weather. so let's take a look in a little more detail then. monday morning, it starts off a little on the cloudy side with some mist and fog shrouding the coast. that will thin and break, we'll see some sunshine developing but into the afternoon, we could have a few sharp showers, particularly to the east of the pennines, some of these heavy and thundery. temperatures widely high teens, low 20s, just that little bit cooler into the far north and east. now, as we move into tuesday, high—pressure clings on across england and wales. across the top of that high, we'll start to see some weather fronts pushing in. the winds will start to increase, will have a little bit of showery rain in northern ireland in the western fringes of scotland. and generally a little more cloud into scotland. sheltered eastern areas should keep some sun and highs of 20 degrees, but we could see 22 celsius, 72 fahrenheit across southeast england. as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, more of the same, really. if anything, the isobars squeeze together and the winds are set to increase.

some of the rain could be heavy along west facing slopes and there'll be more cloud generally pushing across northern england, wales and down into the south—west. the best of the sunshine on wednesday into the south—east, but because the wind direction is coming from south—westerly, it's going to be quite a humid feel to the day. temperatures widely into the low to mid 20s to the south, a little bit cooler further north. thursday into friday looks likely to see a good deal of dry weather. but again, always the warmest of the weather down to the south. that's it, take care.

this is bbc news. the headlines: votes are being counted in mexico in the biggest election in the country's history. more than 21,000 seats are being contested for mayors, state legislators and the entire lower house of congress, where the party of president obrador is hoping to retain its two—thirds majority. israeli forces have fired stun grenades as they released two palestinians who campaigned against the threatened eviction of families in the sheikh jarrah neighbourhood of occupied east jerusalem. twins muna and mohammed al kurd were detained on sunday morning. they have used social media to bring the issue to public attention. meghan markle and prince harry have announced they've had their second child — a baby girl who they've named after queen elizabeth and princess diana. lilibet diana mountbatten—windsor was born on friday morning in santa barbara, california, where the duke and duchess of sussex now live.
