hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones. this is outside source. eu leaders agree an embargo on russian oil arriving by sea, but opposition from hungary pulls them short of banning pipeline oil. we decided then to have a ban now on de facto 90% russian oil imports to the european union by the end of the year. russia is continuing its offensive in ukraine's east. it now controls half of the city of severodonetsk. we'll have the latest from ukraine. also in the programme, we'll look at travel chaos in the uk and elsewhere in the world. with thousands of flights cancelled and massive queues at airports, we'll speak to our correspondents about who's affected and what's being done about it.

we start with the war in ukraine. we'll look at what's happening on the ground in a moment. first to sanctions. eu leaders have finally agreed on a partial embargo of russian oil imports. it will affect oil that arrives by sea. that's around two—thirds of imports. this is the second day of the summit. we know that the eu has been trying to work out a way to ban russian oil imports for months. we'll get into why it's been so complicated in a minute. first, this is the president of the european commission. we decided then to have a ban now on de facto 90% russian oil imports of russian oil imports to the european union by the end of the year. and this comes at a time when we see that russia has disrupted supplies to, by now, five member states — finland, bulgaria and poland —

but now to a company in the netherlands and a company in denmark. that message was echoed by the ukrainian foreign ministry. they said... let's look at the bigger picture. russia currently supplies about 27% of the eu's oil together with its gas exports, russia gets around 400 billion euros from the eu every year. bethany bell is at the talks in brussels on how this will hurt. i think it's likely to be extremely tough. if you think about this oil embargo, plans were announced by ursula von der leyen for this proposal for an oil embargo at the beginning of may, and it's taken weeks of acrimonious negotiations to get an agreement today. gas is likely to be a far more complicated matter and a subject for another day, but in principle, the eu says

it wants to wean itself off russian fossil fuels, but there will be more difficult discussions ahead. in the meantime, though, this six package of sanctions against russia is likely to go into effect very soon, and that includes not only the oil embargo, but also measures against russia's biggest bank and individuals who have been accused of war crimes and also measures against russian business. we know that the deal doesn't include pipeline oil. that's largely because of hungary. it gets more than 60% of its oil from russia. have a look at this map. hungary is completely landlocked. no ports to receive oil shipments, so it relies on pipelines. it's long been opposed to a total oil embargo. this is what its leader, viktor orban, had to say after the deal was agreed. translation: the most| important news is that we have protected and l reduced energy bills. we have managed to fend off-

a proposal by the commission that would have banned the use of russian oil in hungary. i we have enough problems even without that. we have enough problems even without that energy— we have enough problems even without that energy prices— we have enough problems even without that. energy prices have _ that. energy prices have skyrocketed. _ that. energy prices have skyrocketed. inflation . that. energy prices have skyrocketed. inflation isi that. energy prices have - skyrocketed. inflation is high and because — skyrocketed. inflation is high and because of— skyrocketed. inflation is high and because of this _ skyrocketed. inflation is high and because of this sanction, - skyrocketed. inflation is high and because of this sanction, europel skyrocketed. inflation is high and i because of this sanction, europe is on the _ because of this sanction, europe is on the brink— because of this sanction, europe is on the brink of— because of this sanction, europe is on the brink of economic _ because of this sanction, europe is on the brink of economic crisis. - because of this sanction, europe is on the brink of economic crisis. inl on the brink of economic crisis. in these _ on the brink of economic crisis. in these circumstances, _ on the brink of economic crisis. in these circumstances, it— on the brink of economic crisis. in these circumstances, it would - on the brink of economic crisis. in. these circumstances, it would have been _ these circumstances, it would have been unbearable _ these circumstances, it would have been unbearable for— these circumstances, it would have been unbearable for us _ these circumstances, it would have been unbearable for us to - these circumstances, it would have been unbearable for us to operatel been unbearable for us to operate with the _ been unbearable for us to operate with the hungarian _ been unbearable for us to operate with the hungarian economy with i been unbearable for us to operate - with the hungarian economy with more expensive _ with the hungarian economy with more expensive oii~ — with the hungarian economy with more expensive oil. this _ with the hungarian economy with more expensive oil. this would _ with the hungarian economy with more expensive oil. this would have - expensive oil. this would have amounted _ expensive oil. this would have amounted to _ expensive oil. this would have amounted to an _ expensive oil. this would have amounted to an atomic- expensive oil. this would have amounted to an atomic bomb, expensive oil. this would have - amounted to an atomic bomb, but we have managed — amounted to an atomic bomb, but we have managed to _ amounted to an atomic bomb, but we have managed to avoid _ amounted to an atomic bomb, but we have managed to avoid that. - so, orban counting this as a win. our correspondent nick thorpe has more from the hungarian capital, budapest. mrorban has mr orban has stuck to a very stubborn position throughout these negotiations. he said basically, hungary get 54% of its oil, and it's not alone. he was also more public and his opposition to this initial proposal from and his opposition to this initial proposalfrom the eu. he says

and his opposition to this initial proposal from the eu. he says that because hungary get this particularly high soulful rich oil through the pipeline, it would have cost hungary hundreds of millions of euros to change that. he was asking at one point, suggesting that money could be paid to hungary in order to sign up to the sanctions. the commission shows up different route by exempting anyway that oil pipeline. mr orban speaking, presenting that is a great position for him. dr carole nakhle is an energy economist and the ceo of crystol energy. thanks very much for coming on the programme. thanks very much for coming on the programme-— thanks very much for coming on the programme._ let's - thanks very much for coming on the programme._ let's start l programme. thank you. let's start with this impact _ programme. thank you. let's start with this impact on _ programme. thank you. let's start with this impact on russia. - programme. thank you. let's start with this impact on russia. it - programme. thank you. let's start with this impact on russia. it will l with this impact on russia. it will lose a lot of money. oil not being bought by the eu. how big of an impact will it have? if it

still buying russian oil. in this respect, russia will lose some revenues, but it will not bring its economy to its knees.— revenues, but it will not bring its economy to its knees. let's turn to the impact — economy to its knees. let's turn to the impact on _ economy to its knees. let's turn to the impact on the _ economy to its knees. let's turn to the impact on the eu. _ economy to its knees. let's turn to the impact on the eu. it _ economy to its knees. let's turn to the impact on the eu. it will - economy to its knees. let's turn to the impact on the eu. it will have l the impact on the eu. it will have to get its oil from elsewhere. how easy or hard will that be?- easy or hard will that be? there won't be an immediate - easy or hard will that be? there won't be an immediate solution | won't be an immediate solution because you need to look for a supply to a country that has traditionally the low cost, but the beauty of oil markets is that they are global and supplies are coming from all over the world. so, it is a global market and if we find a way to the customers in europe, i would be much more concerned if the ban would be applied on national, because that is... do would be applied on national, because that is. . ._ would be applied on national, because that is... do stay there because that is. .. do stay there because i— because that is... do stay there because i want _ because that is... do stay there because i want to _ because that is... do stay there because i want to get _ because that is... do stay there because i want to get your - because that is... do stay there - because i want to get your thoughts on that. so that's oil. the issue of gas

is a little trickier. that's because europe currently relies on russia for around 40% of its gas. plans to open this new gas pipeline from russia to germany — marked with the dotted purple line — have been frozen, but we haven't seen any other sanctions on gas. russia is demanding eu members pay for their gas in roubles, and has cut off gas supplies to members who've refused. the netherlands is one of them. here's its climate minister. translation: it will become more difficult without _ it will become more difficult without russian gas, especially when more european countries will be cut off. more european countries will be cut off we _ more european countries will be cut off we are — more european countries will be cut off. we are working hard to enable more _ off. we are working hard to enable more important... i expect to announce — more important... i expect to announce shortly from where we will be able _ announce shortly from where we will be able to _ announce shortly from where we will be able to get liquid gas to fill the gas — be able to get liquid gas to fill the gas supply in the netherlands. so, targetting gas supplies is shaping up to be the next diplomatic battleground. this is the estonian prime minister on that front. this is much more difficult than oil

to buy it in its liquid form. it has to be liquefied, and then it needs to be liquefied, and then it needs to have a specialised facility that receives that liquid by a natural gas and distributes it to the local market. this takes years to put in place. in the eu, there has been lots of investment in this respect and the terminals... not sufficient enough to replace entirely the gigantic supplies coming from russia. it will be much trickier to find supplies, and i would add one more point, that most of the gas is globally by other suppliers, and its rd tied in contrast with buyers. we have to wait for them to expire. just before i let you go, this is an issue that they've been talking about for months and months and

months. we've heard from ukrainians and a frustration at how long some of these sanctions are taking. with what you've just outlined, is it inevitable that movement on things like this simply is going to take a long time? like this simply is going to take a lona time? ~ , like this simply is going to take a long time? absolutely. sanctions take time to _ long time? absolutely. sanctions take time to materialise, - long time? absolutely. sanctions take time to materialise, and - long time? absolutely. sanctions take time to materialise, and not everybody is on board in terms of turning their back away from, or two, russian oil and gas. it's going to be much more limited than what you would have hoped for if there was an international coordination to stop russia's main source of income thatis stop russia's main source of income that is oil and gas trade.— that is oil and gas trade. doctor carole nakhle, _ that is oil and gas trade. doctor carole nakhle, great— that is oil and gas trade. doctor carole nakhle, great to - that is oil and gas trade. doctor carole nakhle, great to talk - that is oil and gas trade. doctor carole nakhle, great to talk to l that is oil and gas trade. doctor. carole nakhle, great to talk to you and i'm sure we'll have you back on. inside ukraine, president zelensky

says the situation in the eastern donbas region remains extremely difficult. it's thought russia now controls around half of the key city severodonetsk. he says nitrogen is spreading and people stay inside. it's the last city in the donbas region still held by ukraine. it's been under bombardment — shelling so intense the governor says they've stopped counting the casualties, and russian troops are pushing deeper into the region. this is the city of lysychansk, where residents are living under constant fire. ukraine says the battle for severodonetsk is only one in a much larger context. this is the former defence minister talking about ukraine's counter—offensive. we will always be looking after defences because as soon as we can get more weapons, particularly auxiliary weapons shipped from the west, we can move to a

counteroffensive. russians are applying everything they can in order to get there and bringing their artillery systems, their tanks, all their equipment. currently, the maximum of their capacity, and ukraine is still any capabilities, so we also believe that the counter effective is in the future —— counteroffensive. our ukraine correspondent, james waterhouse, on the importance of western weapons in this fight. well, the ukrainians have long been calling _ well, the ukrainians have long been calling for— well, the ukrainians have long been calling for more weapons. they are outgunned — calling for more weapons. they are outgunned and outnumbered by the russians— outgunned and outnumbered by the russians in the east region. as a result, _ russians in the east region. as a result, the — russians in the east region. as a result, the russians are more easily able to— result, the russians are more easily able to deploy tactics as they surround _ able to deploy tactics as they surround more cities. severodonetsk, we're _ surround more cities. severodonetsk, we're told. _ surround more cities. severodonetsk, we're told, there is now fighting inside _ we're told, there is now fighting inside the —

kyiy _ it's a tough time for many international travellers. thousands of flights have been cancelled or delayed. there have been long queues at some airports, too. this is manchester airport here in the uk early on tuesday. travel companies are blaming staff shortages after they cut thousands ofjobs during the pandemic. the holiday company tui is cancelling six flights a day from manchester until the end ofjune. it says 3a,000 people will be affected. joanna is one of them. we were already to go and we received a text last night at 7:30pm saying the holiday had been cancelled. no explanation. no one has been in touch. i was heartbroken for myself, butjust heartbroken how i was going to explain to the girls that the holiday they spoke enough about —— nothing else about was cancelled. that's all they've spoken

about. it'sjust cancelled. that's all they've spoken about. it's just all taken away from them. there were lots of tears last night. during the first two years of the pandemic, the aviation industry ground almost to a halt. the government's furlough scheme was designed to avoid job losses, but thousands either lost their jobs or left for different ones. here's the chancellor, rishi sunak. we've put in place billions of pounds — we've put in place billions of pounds of support for the travel industry. — pounds of support for the travel industry, in particular during the pandemic, — industry, in particular during the pandemic, and right now, there are conversations happening between ministers — conversations happening between ministers to make sure that can be eased _ ministers to make sure that can be eased. that's where the focus is for ministers _ eased. that's where the focus is for ministers right now. the government has taken a much stronger tone in their off the record comments. a source told the times newspaper... they said this was... here's our transport correspondent, katy austin.

airports insist they are in a much better position than they were when they saw some really long queues and places around easter, and airlines say that the vast majority of flights are running fine, but staff shortages do remain a problem across the aviation energy. it's not been easy at all after two years in the face of massive demand. everyone wants to go on holiday again. pockets of destruction are expected to remain. we do have another busy period coming up with thejubilee bank holiday. we've heard from the trade association which represents uk airports. it says...

trying to recruit about 12,000 new pilots this year, but the problem is that the recruitment process takes a very long time, so you have regional airlines proposing reducing the flight hour requirements before you canjoin a us carry. you've got other major airlines rethinking their training requirements, so for example, delta air lines earlier this year dropping a four—year degree requirement from future pilot hires. if you're planning to travel over the summer, that means your flight, more frustration and perhaps more disappointment. is flight, more frustration and perhaps more disappointment.— more disappointment. is from a passenger— more disappointment. is from a passenger point _ more disappointment. is from a passenger point of _ more disappointment. is from a passenger point of view. - more disappointment. is from a passenger point of view. from | more disappointment. is from a i passenger point of view. from the airlines themselves, they've been a pretty tough time, and they would've liked to be in a position to capitalise with people rebooking and it doesn't look like that will happen. it doesn't look like that will ha en. ., ., it doesn't look like that will hauen. ., ., , ., it doesn't look like that will ha..en_ ., ., , ., , ., ., happen. know, that pilot shortage means not happen. know, that pilot shortage means got fewer _ happen. know, that pilot shortage means got fewer they've - happen. know, that pilot shortage means got fewer they've flights. l happen. know, that pilot shortage i means got fewer they've flights. add to that the price ofjet fuel compared to a year ago has doubled.

they've been hit in terms of higher costs. they are trying to press that on to consumers, so if you look at last month's data, it shows all consumer spending on airfares rose 33% compared to a year ago. so it's a for the airlines and the passengers and is not clear when this will resolve.— this will resolve. michelle, thank ou ve this will resolve. michelle, thank you very much — this will resolve. michelle, thank you very much for _ this will resolve. michelle, thank you very much for that. - this will resolve. michelle, thank you very much for that. i - this will resolve. michelle, thank you very much for that. i want i this will resolve. michelle, thank you very much for that. i want to j you very much for that. i want to bring you some breaking news in the uk. the labour leader and his deputy angela rayner have received police questionnaires as part of the investigation into the so—called beer gate event. we can speak to david wallace lockhart. what happened? we know the durham constabulary have been investigating. we need to cast our minds back to april 2021. there were coven rules in place in the uk that meant people shouldn't be gathering inside for social

purposes. and we know now that the labour leader, sir keir starmer, the deputy leader, angela rayner, gathered and had to take away curry and some beers. they incense while they are still —— while they were still working, the police said they weren't going to look into it, they change and decided to investigate. we know no that questionnaires have been sent to sir keir starmer and angela rayner asking them to set other side of the story, why they think what they did did not breach the rules they both have said they are issued with effects penalty notice, they will stand down. they still insist that is not the case. an update on the prime minister. bond an update on the prime minister. and we've had a — an update on the prime minister. fific we've had a slightly complicated story here. the lord guides, the independent advisers, has published

his report and he talks about the ministerial code of conduct ministers should follow. he talks about the prime minister's own fine he got from preaching covid rules, and he says there is a legitimate question as to whether or not boris johnson reached the ministerial code by getting that fine, and he calls on him to engage with that in public and set out his case. borisjohnson has replied tonight, saying it was not his intention to break the law. he's apologised, and therefore he believes he did not breach the ministerial code. a few other areas in the report where he sounds quite critical about how this was all handled. the prime minister wrote back and said it sounds like there's been a failure of communication. thank you very much for that update. that's david wallace lockhart live in westminster. do remember there's plenty more on the website. download bbc news app as well. you can get me

there at l vonjones. bye—bye. hello again. we've seen widespread showers across the whole of the uk today. some of them have been pretty heavy, driven in by some impressive clouds. this was a shelf cloud in suffolk. these are sometimes associated with vigorous thunderstorm. we had some inevitable localised surface water flooding from today's biggest downpours. looking at the weather picture, we can see some of the heaviest showers continuing to affect eastern areas, and they will keep going for a good time. rain in northern ireland will push its way to wales as we go on through the night, and there will be a few showers around and eastern scotland intending to become confined to the scottish borders.

another cool night for the time of year, temperatures drifting down to 5-7 year, temperatures drifting down to 5—7 degrees widely. wednesday, that area of rain in wales will be pushing eastwards. it's going to turn showery in nature, but those showers will be heavy with some hail and thunder. the weather should become drier and sunnier, and it will feel warmer. temperatures reaching a high of 17 in glasgow, 18 in cardiff. through thursday, pressure will start to rise just weekly across the uk, but at the same time, we've got this weather front trying to sneak in. most of scotland looking fine with sunny spells, feeling warmer. for northern ireland, cloud will build to bring some showers or longer outbreaks of rain here for the day. temperatures, given that we have more sunshine, will be on the rise. 19 in glasgow, quite likely in the woes to knees ——

low 20s in england and wales. there could be a few showers or thunderstorms across northwestern areas, but it is a predominantly dry forecast with warm sunshine and temperatures reaching a high of 21 or 22 degrees towards the southern parts of both england and wales. into the weekend, we have something of a spoiler coming up from the south. it looks like we'll see showers, but probably more likely some heavy outbreaks of rain extending in across the south of the uk. we'll keep the warm weather, mostly dry, sunny spells and a chance of heavy rain developing across southern areas.

hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones. this is outside source. eu leaders agree an embargo on russian oil arriving by sea, but opposition from hungary pulls them short of banning pipeline oil. we will have a band now on the fact though 90% of russian oil imports to the european union by the end of the year. as the prosecutor of the international criminal court describes ukraine as a crime scene — we hearfrom one soldier about his treatment at the hands of his russian captors. and we'll be live in brazil where flooding led to landslides which have killed at least 100 people

we're going to go back to the eu's partial embargo on russian oil — and russia's response. the eu is russia's top oil client. it buys around 2.2 million barrels of crude, together with 1.2 million barrels of refined products, everyday. to put that in context — the energy sector — that includes oil and gas — accounts for 40% of russia's federal budget. and this is how the embargo is playing out in russian media. the headline in state media agency ria novosti. francis scarr from bbc monitoring is in the newsroom. give us a flavour of how this embargoes been covered and reported in russia. has embargoes been covered and reported in russia. �* , embargoes been covered and reported in russia. . , . ., , ., in russia. as the sanctions have been piled _ in russia. as the sanctions have been piled onto _

complaining by price rises and shops, consumer goods in certain figures tell quite a sorry story. in looking at this for example, consumers around 40% year on year in furniture ears run 25% and inflation is up, and figures are higher than what we see in the west. in the russian government is trying to take measures to combat these problems and so, from tomorrow, pensions and social security payments at the minimum which is going up in russia to try to combat this and we'll see how long it takes for them to really feel the pinch. this how long it takes for them to really feel the pinch-— feel the pinch. this idea of this ro-war feel the pinch. this idea of this pro-war propaganda. - feel the pinch. this idea of this pro-war propaganda. machine | feel the pinch. this idea of this i pro-war propaganda. machine in pro—war propaganda. machine in russia. it's been pretty effective so far. and your assessment, briefly, is it still holding? russian state media is trying to sell this as a war that russia is

winning to its domestic audience and so, there's been plenty of focus on the offensive where russia has really piled in tens of thousands of troops and is shelling ukrainian positions hour by hour. and in terms of the wider picture, the domestic audience think this is an existential battle being faced by the west which is not to destroy not only their country but their national identity and their culture. and this is all about rallying ordinary russians run the flag, around the president and mentioning these planned deliveries of us multiple launch rockets which will be a game changer in the war in saying that this is the us getting inextricably involved in this conflict in one state tv presenters set over the last few days that this is world war iii. it is

coming out and waving to children under tables and telling them to go into hiding in as a kid, telling them exactly the same story as to how she survived it and they were saying that they go through these drills as young children, seven, eight your children and i was like, how was that normal the children should be having to go through drills in case someone comes in to score the gun. i don't get it. —— to school with a gun. meanwhile the canadian government has introduced tough new legislation to crack down on guns, as the prime minister explains. it will no longer be possible to buy, sell, transfer or import handguns anywhere in canada. in other words, we are capping the market for handguns. as you heard, the new laws would see a national

freeze on handgun ownership, and the government would launch a mandatory buy—back programme for banned "assault—style" weapons. earlier canada's public safety minister told the bbc more about that. banning assault style rifles like we did a few years ago an extension of the policy will be introducing a mandatory buy—back programme to get the side of her communities for good because they have no place in any civilised society. in because they have no place in any civilised society.— civilised society. in you can “ust hand them fl civilised society. in you can “ust hand them over, i civilised society. in you can “ust hand them over, can i civilised society. in you can “ust hand them over, can you? b civilised society. in you can just hand them over, can you? a i civilised society. in you can just - hand them over, can you? a buy-back? hand them over, can you? a buy—back? will be planed to do is consult with industry leaders to come up with fair compensation system were going to be publishing more details about that in the summer but there will be an option for those who had previously lawfully possess that type of assault rifle to decommission and deactivate them so as to render them inoperable. it comes after last week's mass school shooting in uvalde, nova scotia and a tragedy in canada's nova scotia in 2020. there 22 people died in the country's deadliest mass shooting.

let's look at how bad canada's gun violence problem is, the country's rate of gun homicides per 100,000 is 0.5. that's less than a fifth of that in the us, at 4.12 but is still five times the level of australia, at 0.18 the canadian buyback plan is modelled on other efforts in the wake of national tragedies. the uk banned the private ownership of most handguns a year after the murder of 16 children in dunblane. it was the deadliest mass shooting in british history. australia banned nearly all semi—automatic rifles after a gunman murdered 35 people at port arthur, in 1996. a buy back scheme was launched, and the government collected more than 600,000 weapons. and new zealand banned semi—automatic weapons following the 2019 attacks on two mosques in christchurch that killed 51 people. their buy—back programme removed 56,000 guns from circulation, but critics say that's only a third

of the weapons that were outlawed. let's speak to michael anestis, he's executive director of the gun violence research center at rutgers university, thank you for having me. really can buy—backs, banning handguns such seems to have some success in other countries around the world. but i don't imagine her work as well in the us. �* , don't imagine her work as well in theus. �*, , the us. it's complicated. if he did a massive — the us. it's complicated. if he did a massive buy-back _ the us. it's complicated. if he did a massive buy-back programme i the us. it's complicated. if he did - a massive buy-back programme in the a massive buy—back programme in the united states, would be effective? as many as 400 million firearms in the us and isjust as many as 400 million firearms in the us and is just astronomically more complex the second amendment and our constitution renders our culture fundamentally different mix the solution more complicated. just before he focused too much on the us, other pretty effective and i

magazines and with the individual having to reload, if you can limit the capacity of magazines, it will be much more difficult to rapidly fire a lot more ammunition and quickly harm a lot of other folks before they have a chance to get away a chance to intervene. looking at magazine capacity or things that modify firearms to make them more like assault style rifles, it may have more of an impact because you're looking at the mechanism as opposed to trying to ban a brand. some would say that's not nearly enough, but given that could be effective, what chance do you think of something like that actually happening? it’s of something like that actually happening?— of something like that actually hauuenin? �*, ., ., happening? it's hard to say come with a filibuster _ happening? it's hard to say come with a filibuster in _ happening? it's hard to say come with a filibuster in place, - happening? it's hard to say come with a filibuster in place, it's - with a filibuster in place, it's difficult. ithink with a filibuster in place, it's difficult. i think a lot of us felt very competent after sandy hook that things would change and certainly something as mild and popular as universal background checks past and obviously, they didn't. and i don't want to be some dispels doom and

says give up hope, but i tend to put more of my energy into things like state legislatures and what they're doing at the level where things seem to pass a little bit more greater possibility where as we have a national level and think it's worth pouring her energy and it's possible, ijust have a good bit of scepticism, given our history. thank ou ve scepticism, given our history. thank you very much- _ let's turn to brazil — where the number of people who've died from landslides in the north—east has risen to over 100. heavy flooding struck the area of pairnam bookoo state last week, causing landslides which wiped away houses. this drone footage shows you the impact. 4 million people live in this low—lying region — many of them in poorer shanty villages on hills which are vulnerable to flooding. on monday, presidentjair bolsonaro posted a video on social media showing him in a helicopter flying over the disaster area. camilla mota is in sao paolo for us.

ofjust that brazil has seen in a timeframe of just five months that brazil has seen in a timeframe ofjust five months and so this definitely raises a red flag. stay with us on outside source — still to come. after 70 years of the queen meeting her prime ministers, we'll report on the mystique and mystery of the weekly audience. teachers are calling on the government to give more children in england free school meals to help tackle the cost of living crisis. meals to help tackle education unions say all children from families on universal credit should be eligible for the scheme. the cost of food, fuel and other goods has surged in recent months, pushing inflation to a 40 year high. here's our education correspondent, elaine dunkley. more children than ever coming through the doors. irate more children than ever coming through the doors.— more children than ever coming through the doors. we opened 11 minutes ago- — through the doors. we opened 11 minutes ago. were _ through the doors. we opened 11 minutes ago. were going - through the doors. we opened 11 minutes ago. were going to - through the doors. we opened 11 minutes ago. were going to be i through the doors. we opened 11 - minutes ago. were going to be busy.

prime minister since he does not consider his find to be a breach. the prime minister since he does not consider his fine to be a breach. staying on the war in ukraine. soldiers and civilians who're captured are being used as bargaining chips in prisoner of war exchanges. one soldier told his story to the bbc�*s correspondent in kyiv, james waterhouse. metal scaffolding... holding together hlib's broken pelvis. he also broke his jaw and lost vision in one eye. hlib is onlyjust taking his first steps. two months ago he was defending mariupol with the marines, watching for the enemy. translation: i turned my head and saw a tank aimed at me. i i saw a bright flash, ifelt the building collapsing. he survived, but was captured.

no one knew whether he was dead or alive until this video was posted online by his captors. he was taken to a hospital in russian—occupied territory. translation: they held a dagger on my leg, up my throat, - and led to my ear and said, "it would be nice to cut off your ear." they did it to nearly everyone. i couldn't feed myself because myjaw was broken, and i couldn't sit up. some nurses would taunt me by leaving food down in front of me and say, "try and eat that, you lowlife ukrainian." this is hlib's testimony. we haven't been able to independently verify his claims. this conflict is seen people, citizens taken by the russians as they try to do two things. either use them as currency, prisoner exchanges and that seems to have

worked in some cases. but also to try to crush the resistance, their fight. that has not been so successful. you limit going to go back and continue fighting for ukraine and give us victory over russia. in a record 70 years on the throne, the queen has dealt with no fewer than 14 prime ministers, starting with winston churchill and now borisjohnson. one of the mainstays of the royal and political calendars, is the weekly audience between monarch and prime minister, which usually takes place on thursday evenings. our political editor, vicki young, reports. the queen and her prime ministers. this was a reunion organised in the 1990s. head of state and head of government appear side by side for dozens of public events. but the relationship is forged behind closed doors. weekly meetings at the palace.

nice to see you. lovely to see you again. we only get a glimpse of. the queen's views are kept private political neutrality carefully adhered to her words written by her prime ministers. i pray that the blessing of almighty god may rest upon your counsels. her first was winston churchill. he was protective of this new young sovereign who had so much to learn. now, upon the shoulders of sir anthony falls, i the role of the queen's first minister _ after churchill came, anthony eden, whose decision to send troops to suez in 1956, brought national humiliation in 1964. harold wilson became the queen's first labour prime minister. she does her homework. i hadn't done mine. i hadn't read a particular cabinet committee, which i didn't chair,

and i was leaving for the weekend. she knew i hadn't done my homework. she's very nice about it. the queen's constitutional right is to be kept informed of government policy. she offers encouragement and advice. every prime minister, - i would guess, from talking with other prime ministers. and from my own experience, has the greatest _ friendliness from the queen. on rare occasions, the queen has very subtly aired her views like this speech where mr callaghan's government was considering devolution. i cannot forget that i was crowned queen of the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland. good evening, your majesty. you've had a very long day. when margaret thatcher became britain's first female prime minister, there were reports that the queen privately disapproved of the government's social agenda. but the iron lady played down suggestions of a serious rift. even if she did say it all right. she may have felt something, but there was never any difficulty in saying anything to me. any difficulty at all. every year, there's a royal invitation to balmoral. matters of state discussed over a cup of tea. in the years that i came -

to know her as prime minister, prime ministers had private meetings with the queen — each week, she invariably looks forward. _ tony blair certainly appreciated the queen's advice after his landslide victory for labour. even though i was the politician, she was the monarch. i found her not just useful, but sometimes deeply insightful. it's very good to welcome you here and when you have to explain what you're trying to achieve. i it's a it's a very - good form of therapy. and imagine doing that - to the world's greatest public servant who's seen it all and heard it all. i there's really no better wayl of getting your head straight about what you're trying to do. 14 prime ministers, 14 very different politicians with their own visions, worries and agendas. for seven decades, the queen has worked with all of them. a monarch at the heart of a democratic constitution, advising, encouraging and warning, providing continuity as each new political tide swept in.
