the organisers had called this section the time of our lives. this being the story of britain, there was a good sprinkling of the mildly eccentric on two wheels and on three, all of which, it must be said, were going rather better than this four—wheeler. leading the pageant was the gold coach, the coach that had taken the queen to her coronation, images of her on that journey were projected onto the windows. the coach was making its first public appearance since the goldenjubilee in 2002. in the royal box, the prince of wales took the salute from military units representing britain's armed forces and attachments from many of the 5a members of the commonwealth. making a return to public duty, prince louis in the royal box with his elder brother and sister, george and charlotte. things were livening up.

now, this is one of two sites that was hit by russian missiles in the early hours of this morning. the russians say they were targeting t—72 tanks donated by eastern european countries. but ukrainians say this was actually a railway repair facility, and they're quite keen to show the world's media that that's what the russians were hitting. in his nightly address delivered before this morning's strikes, president zelensky described the scale of the attacks from above. translation: as of this | morning, the total number of various russian missiles used against ukraine is 2,503. much of the damage to ukraine has happened in the east of the country, the area known as the donbas. in soledar, a town not far from the front, people were also dealing with the aftermath of a missile strike. one man blamed the proximity of ukrainian soldiers to his house. "they need to withdraw the troops away from the city," vitaliy said, "because if they are standing here,

"the russians will hit civilians." those troops are nearby, defending their territory. the city of severodonetsk is the current focus of russia's offensive. it had been thought the city was all but lost to the ukrainians, but then, over the last 2a hours, they say they have launched a successful counter—attack. translation: our chancesl of retaking the city are high. severodonetsk is of symbolic importance only, not militarily or strategic. lysychansk is much more important because it is located on the hill. it is easier for the military to defend and strike. all the while, the donbas continues to empty. people in towns like slavyansk know that as long as russia is on their doorstep, they will not be safe if they stay. joe inwood, bbc news, kyiv.

so will these long—range rocket systems being sent to ukraine make a difference? here's steve fish, politics professor at the university of california berkeley. it could make a big difference. these weapons systems, these rocket launchers actually have a range that is over twice of what ukraine's rocket launchers have right now. they've been using howitzers, which have a range of about half of the 80 or so kilometres that the new systems that are being sent in have. this will really enable the ukrainians, possibly, to push russia back out of the territories that it already occupies in the east and south of ukraine. so this could be a game changer. interestingly, we were sort of hearing about hopes that severodonetsk will be reclaimed by the ukrainians, these would help in that sort of scenario? they absolutely would. and beyond severodonetsk, they would help across all of east ukraine. you know, the russians are so far, they win territory just by bombing it indiscriminately with their artillery and then they move

in and take over the completely — the flattened territories. it's not a sophisticated way of doing war, but that's the way they do it, that seems to be their only capacity, but if the ukrainians gain the capacity, which they probably will with these new weapon systems, firing on russian forces from a greater distance, it will be much more difficult for russian forces to continue to advance. given what you said, it is no surprise then perhaps that president putin issues a counter threat, if you like, to aim at new targets if these launchers are delivered. what do we make of another threat like that? i presume you have to take it seriously? you have to take it seriously, but, you know, on the other hand, you can't let it affect your behaviour. putin engages in these threats from time to time, and what he wants is for the west to take him seriously and to be, in a sense,

to be cowed by them or affected by them, but we know that every time the west, you know, for the most part, treats these threats with contempt, that that seems to be good for the cause of supporting ukraine. if we act like we're affected by these threats, that's a prescription forappeasement, it's a prescription for vacillation. and what we know about putin now is that he's not amenable to reason. it's not like somehow appeasing him in anyway is going reduce his appetite for further conquest and gains. it's exactly the opposite of that, david. the more putin gets, commonly more success he has, and the more feels he is the west with his bluster, then the more emboldened he feels, the more likely he is to actually move forward. he becomes more violent, more ambitious, rather than less when his threats are taken too seriously. steve fish there. let's get some of the day's other news. colombia's president has described a decision taken by a provincial court

for a very special lunch. the 0val cricket ground in london is more used to serving up sport than sponge cake, but the prince of wales and duchess of cornwall joined hundreds of guests at the stadium to mark the final day of the platinum jubilee celebrations. meanwhile, the earl and countess of wessex were with the crowds having a long lunch along the long walk outside the gates of windsor castle. here in leicester, this is one of tens of thousands of big jubilee lunches taking place around the country and come rain or shine — and it's been mainly rain — people have been determined to celebrate queen and community. band plays god save the queen i'm glad i'm here. god bless her. god bless the queen. god bless this nation. despite the rain, everyone's got a smile on their face and everyone'sjust happy, full of energy as well. it's brilliant. she's a good queen and she takes care of all of us - and the whole entire world.

the annual big lunch project is usually a thanksgiving event for neighbours and communities to come together. this year, it's become part of the jubilee celebrations. and it may not have been as lavish a spread here as the 0val, but it was still appreciated by everyone after a difficult couple of years. leicester, in particular, has had a difficult time. we were locked down longer than most other areas and, you know, a lot of the houses around here are social housing stock and maisonettes and it's just nice for people to get out and actually reacquaint with each other and make new friends. this was very much a national celebration. in morecambe, there was an attempt to break the record for the largest jubilee street party. it wasn't just lunches in the streets — this crowd celebrated with a sing—along in aberfan in wales. a carnival parade and picnic brought the weekend's festivities to a close

of our population health and work tirelessly for all of our wealth, health and well—being but, as you point out, it is a 24/7 job so unfortunately, some of these very extended shifts are part and parcel to the life of our physicians and our nurses. now, in terms of the consequences — and we will talk about patient safety first, it is a great one — we see that when these individuals work for very long shifts, these are common actually in the healthcare field — longer than 2a hours, which then includes often overnight. what we see after those longer shift is that these healthcare providers face a 22% increased risk of making a medical error. so, that's simply without the faculties that they would otherwise have when they were well rested — when all of us, as human beings, are more likely to contribute to some of these errors, in terms of medical errors in the healthcare community. in addition to patient safety, healthcare providers themselves face risks. after those long, extended shifts, they face a significant increased risk for car accidents as they get into their carand

make their way home. that is the sort of anecdote that an awful lot of night workers, i guess, could also share in. i wonder when you mention that 22% of the chances of accidents being carried out with patients, where does that sort of statistic come from? it's in some published data that is available and the literature has shown that errors that are documented either by an observer, observing the error or self—reported, and those are — someone has characterised as an outcome variable. because it is a frightening figure, one in five, a huge amount. given, i suppose, further down the line, we may look back at this in five years' time and find that these are now statutory requirements for medical workers, may be for everyone in due course, but in the meantime,

what do you advise for people working these sorts of shifts? i think it is also clear that when you work a longer shift, it is a sort of exponential risk of issues. what do you do? what should people do? exactly, so longer shifts that are 2a hours approximately — which is, of course, an extended period of time. the other groups are overnight workers and both face some of these concerning risks, not only for errors in the course of your work but also for accidents as you make your way home or in the course of that work. some of the coping strategies are number one, if you are working overnight, try to have caffeine early in your shift, so when you are getting to the office or earlier in your shift you have caffeine. that will help you power through the shift and you are avoiding it later in the shift, so that when you get home, you are able to get good sleep. another coping strategy is taking naps — a power nap is a great one.

that refers to a 20—minute nap that gives you a little bit of rest and energy, but the duration is short enough that it won't adversely impact your next sleep episode. another good strategy is — this can be the difference between life and death — but using the power nap again at the end of the shift because if you have been working overnight, we have evidence to show there is an extremely strong drive for sleep that happens. interesting. inaudible ..ideally to recover if you are excessively sleepy before you get into a car. dr rebecca robbins there. ican i can vouch for it, caffeine work is! —— works. rafael nadal has won the french open tennis final for an unprecedented 14th time, becoming the oldest male champion in the history of the tournament. the 36—year—old spaniard beat norway's casper ruud in straight sets. the victory extends nadal�*s record—breaking number of grand slam singles titles to 22. he's now on course to complete a calendar grand slam,

hello there. it was a soggy end to the weekend across england and wales in particular, but we start the new week off on a largely dry and settled note. increasing amounts of sunshine for monday and tuesday. it will start to turn wet, though, on wednesday, windier by the end of the week but, generally, temperatures will be around the seasonal average throughout the week, both by day and by night. so, monday starts off rather cloudy, rather murky for england and wales. outbreaks of rain affecting eastern england, east anglia. fairly strong northerly winds, which will clear away. then, it's an improvement in the afternoon — we should start to see some sunshine breaking through that cloud for england and wales. could set off the odd shower. again, the best of the sunshine will be across scotland, where we could see 2! degrees, but even further south, given more sunshine around, we could make 18—20 celsius. as we head through monday night, could see this little feature bring some rain to south west england through the channel and spread its way eastwards.

elsewhere, though, it should be largely dry but across south east scotland, north east england, we'll see a return to some rain there. and we start tuesday off with double—figure values in the south, single values there for eastern scotland, north east england. for tuesday, it's a bit of a similar story. we're in between weather systems, so a largely calm day, i think. variable amounts of cloud to start the day. early rain in the south will clear away and we should see the rain in south east scotland, north east england ease down as well into the afternoon. elsewhere, increasing amounts of sunshine — more for england and wales — so it'll feel warmer. could set off the odd shower again, but most places dry — highs of 22 degrees. later in the day, we start to see some rain getting in towards the far south—west — that's because we've got this frontal system working its way in across the country as we head on into wednesday. now, some of this rain could be quite heavy — particularly for england and wales for a time — before it clears its way eastwards. winds more of a feature, as well, across the south of england, south wales, certainly through the channel. into the afternoon, it'll be one of sunshine and showers and some of these showers will be heavy and perhaps slow—moving as, further north, those winds will be lighter. top temperatures, 16—20 degrees. that little area of low

pressure clears away. a brief ridge of high pressure to start thursday but a deep low develops out in the atlantic to the north—west of the uk later thursday into friday — that's going to bring some very windy weather to the north and the west of the uk in particular, and it's here where we'll have most of the showers or longer spells of rain. the further south and east that you are, although breezy, it should stay largely dry with some sunshine.
