dominated by national disasters, covid and many scandals. i have always believedl in australians and their judgment and tonight they have delivered their verdict. - independents have also done well in the election amid public dissatisfaction with the major parties. albanese may have to rely on them. anthony albanese had one key message for australians, anthony albanese had one key message foraustralians, it anthony albanese had one key message for australians, it is now time for change. the people have listened, now it is up to the politicians. the rising cost—of—living and climate change have dominated the election as two key issues for voters. this is a country that is anxious and divided. its new leader has vowed that his will be a government of

optimism and unity. paul smith is president of the australian labour party abroad, based here in london. he remains confident that the party will get a majority, helping it to push its policy on climate change. they came in with a commitment on climate change, cut it by 42%, and what is different is that it is backed up by government investment and also they are going to cut prices for ordinary people in terms of fuel and energy, and whilst the government is going to face things out of a time, that doesn't preclude a whole range of energy options. its main concern is to cut fossil fuels and in the emission target overall. also to make for a just transition for working people. what has changed is labor has a real commitment for actual climate change. add four justice for working people. you will see over the next two years as a

government that stallions can weep aduu government that stallions can weep adult because they will be taking real action on climate change and investing money in new technologies that will actually be the future of energy rather than the fossil fuels of the past. —— australians can take pride in. president zelensky has said diplomacy is the only way the war with russia will end. ukraine's leader suggested his military had "broken the back" of russia's army, but that a resolution would only emerge from negotiations. as russian forces intensify their attacks in the eastern donbas region. from kyiv, our correspondent james waterhouse reports. ukraine's resistance is far from waning, but in luhansk it is going backwards — it is an area moscow claims will soon be in russian control. this coal miner still tries to evacuate people. even with his van riddled with bullets. i have to help people — there are grandmothers and grandfathers, people with disabilities who remain. they have to be pulled out.

russia's gains are only a few miles here, people in luhansk are used to eight years of war already, since russia backed separatists in 2014. for some, the fighting has finally reached their doorstep. translation: my daughter - is in france and my son in poland. they told me to leave immediately. but how can i leave? this is our home. the invaders are looking to surround this town and are resorting to the old tactics of bombarding it from the outside. the president of ukraine sent this message to countries yet to send weapons. we are fighting a war on our. territory and even if you think you could get used to donbas being russian territory, - we would like to say it is not

a good thing to get used to, | these are our territories and we are going step by step to _ liberate our territories. ukraine's leader believes peace will only come from talks. given the lack of dialogue between the two sides, it is a long way off. filling the silence, the ongoing brutality of this war. melinda haring from the atlantic counciljoins me now. where do you see us in terms of where this conflict is? it where do you see us in terms of where this conflict is?— where do you see us in terms of where this conflict is? it has been three months _ where this conflict is? it has been three months and _ where this conflict is? it has been three months and russia - where this conflict is? it has been three months and russia has - where this conflict is? it has been three months and russia has only managed to take two large cities in ukraine. it managed to take mariupol this week, it is important to keep that in context. phase one, moscow said it would come into kyiv and

take it and also get rid of zelensky, it is still a pro—russian puppetr “ zelensky, it is still a pro—russian puppet, —— install. it pulled back its forces from kyiv and from the north and now it is focusing on the donbas. british intelligence says russian forces are not doing well, they have made small gains in eastern ukraine, and they have lost about a third of the forces they committed. about a third of the forces they committed-— about a third of the forces they committed. , ., .,, ., ., committed. they have lost a third of their forces. — committed. they have lost a third of their forces, not _ committed. they have lost a third of their forces, not doing _ committed. they have lost a third of their forces, not doing well - committed. they have lost a third of their forces, not doing well yet - their forces, not doing well yet they still persist in renewing those attacks in that part of the country. what is their end game, to concentrate just on that area? i concentrate just on that area? i don't think dad mia putin has changed his goals. he still was to take ukraine, —— i don't think that ma putin has changed his goals. it has changed his tactics for the bottom—line is that russia and ukraine are going to be bogged down

in eastern ukraine for the next couple of months. this is no longer a conflict about days, weeks or months, it is probably going to be years. figs months, it is probably going to be ears. �* , months, it is probably going to be ears, �* , months, it is probably going to be ears. ~ , ., ., ., ., years. as we look ahead to what could be years. _ years. as we look ahead to what could be years, we _ years. as we look ahead to what could be years, we see - years. as we look ahead to what could be years, we see very - years. as we look ahead to what l could be years, we see very much years. as we look ahead to what - could be years, we see very much the security situation in the region changing potentially forever in terms of country to have remained neutral up until now changing their stance, do you feel european situation now is more or less secure than before? the situation now is more or less secure than before?— situation now is more or less secure than before? the european situation is massively — than before? the european situation is massively changing, _ than before? the european situation is massively changing, the _ than before? the european situation is massively changing, the germans| is massively changing, the germans have changed their tune, europe has decided that russia is a real threat and it sees russia as a threat after faber 24th. the situation could be the work and beats —— war could be shorter, my prediction is it could last a long time, a long slog but it doesn't have to be if the west does the things it needs to do, the british government has done an amazing job, washington has done an

okjob, but if the amazing job, washington has done an ok job, but if the west continues to 0k job, but if the west continues to send weapons and more heavy weapons that kyiv has required, this war could be over much sooner, it is not an overstatement to say that the ukrainian could push the russians backin ukrainian could push the russians back in the donbas by crassness if not sooner. do you agree or not with president zelensky when he says the ukraine war with russia can only be resolved through diplomacy? you think you trainees to push the russians out?— think you trainees to push the russians out? , , , russians out? president zelensky is ri . ht, russians out? president zelensky is right. diplomacy _ russians out? president zelensky is right. diplomacy is _ russians out? president zelensky is right, diplomacy is dead _ russians out? president zelensky is right, diplomacy is dead at - russians out? president zelensky is right, diplomacy is dead at this - right, diplomacy is dead at this point, the russians are not serious about it and in the ukrainian saps are unwilling to negotiate after the war crimes, and they are right. the bottom line is this will be ugly, everyone wants peace, it will eventually happen, but what happens right now on the battlefield will determine the contours of a negotiation and this is about the future of europe, if vladimir putin has not stopped in ukraine, he will go after poland on the baltic states

next, that is why it is imperative he is stopped in ukraine now. the turkish president recep tayyip erdogan has spoken by telephone to the leaders of sweden and finland, to demand they take "concrete steps" to end support for what he called "terrorist groups". both countries applied this week to join nato. but turkey — a nato member — has threatened to derail their bid, which needs unanimous approval. mr erdogan accuses the nordic countries of supporting kurdish militants, including the separatist group, the pkk. officials in the chinese capital beijing have moved 13,000 people to quarantine hotels, after discovering around 20 new covid infections in their neighbourhood. all had tested negative for coronavirus — they'll have to isolate for at least seven days. china is trying to prevent a similar scale of outbreak in bejing to that which happened in shanghai where millions of people have spent months under lockdown. switzerland and the netherlands are the latest countries to report cases of monkeypox.

here in the uk, doctors say they're worried that the virus — which can spread through close contact — could have a massive impact on access to sexual health services, with staff having to isolate if they come into contact with anyone who's infected. cases of the virus are rare outside of central and west africa. now at least 90 infections have been confirmed. that's in about 12 different countries, according to the world health organisation. scientists say they were not expecting this kind of outbreak because, for the first time, the disease is being found in people with no clear connection to areas in africa. dr hans kluge, the world health organization's regional director for europe, says the disease is not a new one. it is known quite well, usually self—limiting in nature, difficult

and slow to transmit, the question here is to clarify why we see so many cases coming now in europe without a travel history with a bit more human—to—human transmission. but again, this is not covid, this is not smallpox, it is usually a geopolitically rare, not severe disease. it is spread by close physical contact, so now we are studying why it is that those cases are surging in europe, usually it is what because supportive treatment, anti—virals as well. but also vaccines, limited dose, i think we are not at that stage, we should very well study from wire the spread

is coming and why is it that hugely this disease is in west africa or central africa not in europe, from the 90 confirmed cases, 82 are in europe, eight are in countries out of europe, australia, canada, united states. two people have been taken to hospital after part of a stand collapsed at a trooping the colour event at horse guards parade in central london. in two weeks' time, the queen is due to attend. here's bbc london's shelly phelps. members of the army rushing to the scene in video footage filmed by a member of the public close to where part of a stand reportedly collapsed. a number of people can be seen climbing over the back wall close to where a section of the structure is understood to have given way. the area was evacuated, one stand at a time. we were invited to stand

career. some surprising football non—transfer news as kylian mbappe signed a new three—year contract to stay at paris saint—germain. the french international had been heavily linked with a move to real madrid this summer but mbappe has now committed his future to the french champions, in a very lucrative deal that runs until 2025. lyon have won the women's champions league for an eighth time after beating barcelona 3—1 in turin. a stunning strike from amandine henry after six minutes gave the french side the lead. and the fomer world player of the year, ada hegerberg, who has struggled with injuries for the past few seasons, was also amongst the goal—scorers as lyon surprised the defending champions, who were favourites. the final in germany's dfb cup has gone to extra time in berlin. it finished sc freiburg 1, rb leipzig 1 in normal time, with leipzig down to ten men as well. leipzig are taking part in the showpiece event for the third time in the last four years, while

it's freiburg's first german cup final in their 118—year history. charles leclerc will be on pole for tomorrow's spanish grand prix. there weren't too many surprises in qualifying, the ferrari driver had been quickest in every practice session in barcelona. the championship leader was about a quarter of a second quicker than red bull's max verstappen, with ferrari team—mate carlos sainz in third. it was a very difficult session, especially in q3, it was a very difficult session, especially in 03, i had mistaken the first run, and only had one lap, but went extremely well, had a bit of moments of my lap but made it stick and i'm very happy with pill position, it was very good, the car was amazing, so very happy —— pole position. athletics' second diamond league meeting of the year took place in birmingham. britain's dina asher—smith won the women's 100 meters, beating shericka jackson

a winning streak of 28 matches. i have very positive thoughts and honestly a couple of times during these tournaments i was already stressed about that and i was able to work through it and do a really good job atjust focusing on tennis, so hopefully i will be able to continue that, but still i have a few more days until my first match so i guess we will see. i have proved to myself and other people that i can be top of the game, and before i didn't have that much confidence, so this year i feel much more peace. that's all the sport for now. president biden has said he might be willing to meet the north korean leader, kim jong un for face—to—face talks but only if mr kim is �*sincere and serious�*. mr biden, who's on a visit to south korea, said he was also prepared to shore up defences against north korea. the president and his counterpart

in seoul, yoon suk—yeol, discussed the possible deployment of extra american jets, bombers and missiles to south korea. our seoul correspondent jean mackenzie reports. good evening, president biden. the first task for the president upon landing, learn the mechanics of the computer chip. the focus of the trip was supposed to be semiconductors and supply chains. things that will help these countries compete with an increasingly dominant china. but by the time the leaders sat down to talk, an increasingly hostile north korea was top of the agenda. the door to dialogue with the north was still open, they said. with regard to whether i would meet with the leader of north korea, it would depend on whether he was sincere and serious. the situation in north korea is serious, with covid affecting many of its population.

the united states hopes this could lead to a reconciliation. we have offered vaccines, we're prepared to do that immediately. we have had no response. despite the pleas to come back to the negotiating table, the focus here was much more on south korea and the united states being ready for if the north were to attack, how they can be more prepared for if the worst were to happen. remembering us soldiers that died fighting the korean war. since this battle divided korea, the south has relied on the us to defend it. we go together. earlier, joe biden agreed to send more weapons if needed. translation: we discussed timely deployment of strategic _ assets, including fighter

jets and missiles. the relationship has never been stronger or more vital, according to mr biden. it certainly seems on pretty firm ground. rain across the far north—west of scotland continuing to linger over the next few hours, more cloud along west facing coast. conditions start of murky first thing on sunday. best of murky first thing on sunday. best of the clearer skies across central and southern areas, one or two rural areas seeing temperatures as low as five or six ounces. some lovely sunshine here from bristol over towards norwich, anywhere south and east dry, settled, sunny, warm. a lot of low cloud to the west, scattered showers, persistent rain lingering in the far north—west.

temperatures around 11—17 c. in the best of the sunshine, highs of 23. it looks like as we move into monday, wind direction changing north—westerly, slightly cooler with a few scattered showers has well. take care.
