6:00 pm
today at six: getting on with the people's business — the prime minister's pledge a day after winning a vote of confidence we are able now to draw a line under theissues we are able now to draw a line under the issues that our opponents want to talk about. nods all round the cabinet table this morning — but what about his own mps, as 148 voted against him last night? this will be time—barred. if we don't see an improvement in the next few months, then history will repeat itself. and then there's more tests to come — two by—elections this month. we'll be hearing from voters in wakefield. also tonight: another hole in the family budget — nearly £100 to fill the average car with petrol. the motoring organisation rac says
6:01 pm
there is worse to come. and more bad news for travellers as the rmt union announces three days of national strike action on the railways later this month. i'm at king's cross and i'll be looking at what that's going to mean. is she coming in today? could you give her a call and see if she's on her way? trying to track down the children still missing from schools after the pandemic — a bbc investigation reveals more and more parents are being fined. minimum pricing was meant to help reduce alcohol consumption in scotland, but a new report says the heaviest drinkers are cutting back on other essentials instead. a dog trainer, a tech worker and a farmer when they're at home, but now these three british volunteers are in ukraine helping to rescue the helpless. and coming up on the bbc news channel: two—time major winner dustinjohnson resigns from the pga tour in order to play in the new saudi—backed liv invitational series.
6:02 pm
good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. a day after he survived a vote of confidence by a smaller margin than many expected, borisjohnson says he wants to draw a line under the whole affair. that's what he told his cabinet this morning, and that's what he wants the rest of us to hear. but in the hours since the result of the vote was announced last night, it's not clear the prime minister is going to get his wish. after more than 40% of his own mps failed to back him in the vote, there is continuing speculation about the future of his leadership. our political editor, chris mason, has this report. the chris mason, has this report. prime minister took i

6:06 pm
they will now bide their time. losing two by—elections later this month, if that were to happen, could bring conservative mps' anxieties back to the boil, but even then, dislodging borisjohnson will not be easy. so, thejubilee bunting is being removed from downing street, but not the man who lives here. and what we have, therefore, is an awkward stalemate. the prime minister's internal critics have squashed at least some of his authority, but they have not squeezed him out of power, and so the opposition parties are cock—a—hoop, because they perceive all of this leaves the conservatives in a real mess. chris, thank you. the motoring group the rac has warned that average fuel prices could hit £2 per litre this summer, after they reached a record high once again. the rac says it now costs just short of £100 — £98, to be precise — to fill an average family car with petrol. as our transport correspondent

business, we will see the price of goodsin business, we will see the price of goods in the shops increasing. the chancellor cut fuel duty by 5p in march, and prices fell a bit, but they've now risen again, hitting a series of fresh record highs. the wholesale price for a barrel of oil has gone up again lately, although it is not as high as it was in march, soon after russia invaded ukraine, so why are we seeing new records on uk forecourts now? experts say it is down to a combination of an unfavourable exchange rate, rising global demand and sanctions on russia. 25�*s exchange rate, rising global demand and sanctions on russia.— and sanctions on russia. 2596 of our diesel in the — and sanctions on russia. 2596 of our diesel in the uk _ and sanctions on russia. 2596 of our diesel in the uk was _ and sanctions on russia. 2596 of our diesel in the uk was actually - diesel in the uk was actually russian refined diesel. we don't have the refining capacity, and nor does the whole of europe, to make sufficient products of refined products such as petrol, diesel and jet fuel, so that has really pushed the refined products much higher than crude. the refined products much higher than crude-— than crude. labour called on ministers — than crude. labour called on ministers to _ than crude. labour called on ministers to tackle - than crude. labour called on ministers to tackle what - than crude. labour called on ministers to tackle what it i than crude. labour called on - ministers to tackle what it called

brutal petrol hikes. the department for business said the cut to fuel duty had been the biggest ever. experts say it's unlikely the pressure on motorists' wallets will ease soon. thousands of rail workers across the uk will stage three days of strike action later this month in a dispute over pay and jobs. the rmt union has said it will "shut down" the rail network after talks over pay and redundancies fell through. our correspondent theo leggett is at kings cross station in london. when will the strikes happen, theo? well, this is being billed as the biggest stoppage on the rail network in decades. three days of strikes have been scheduled, the first on the 21st ofjune, a tuesday, followed by the following thursday, the 23rd ofjune, and then saturday the 23rd ofjune, and then saturday the 25th ofjune. that coincides with summer events starting up, including the glastonbury festival. some 40,000 workers across the country are expected to walk out, and on the first occasion, it will
6:10 pm
be 50,000 because london underground will be holding a separate stoppage of its own on that date. this is affecting 13 train operating companies across the nation. it is also affecting the rail infrastructure operator network rail, and as i mentioned, london underground, so this is a major stoppage, the like of which we have not seen in many years, assuming it goes ahead. theo, thank you. hitting parents with fines when their children miss school is meant to be a last resort. during the pandemic they were barely used, but now a bbc investigation has found a growing number of fines are being issued. by the easter holidays this year, 71,000 fines had been issued in england. that amounts to £3.7 million worth of fines paid by pa rents. after the disruption of the covid pandemic, there's growing concern about the children still missing from the classroom. our education editor branwen jeffreys has spent time at a school in middlesbrough trying to get pupils back into the habit of turning up each day.
6:11 pm
morning, ladies. the school day starts early. and so does the effort to track down missing pupils now harder after the start of covid—19. by nine o'clock school attendance officers are calling families. hello, is she coming in today? could you give her a call and see if she is on her way. thank you. got about 15 off at the moment. i think we should visit this one. we have not seen her for two days. katie and emma work with year ten following up children each day if they don't arrive. i've done about 15 yesterday and i think three answered the door. if it's a genuine reason, they would answer the door but i try and be friendly with them and say we don't want you to get in trouble this is what's going to happen
6:12 pm
and that she said it's tough love out on the visits, often there is no answer. a letter offers help but it is also a warning. parents can be fined £60, rising to 120 if they don't pay quickly. this student's only been at the school four days in the last 12 weeks. four days? yes. there's been a lot of things put in place so late start, early finishes, taxis, lifts offered, meetings with parents. none of that has worked? that's a bit desperate. a lot of it is family, generations of people who don't go to school and don't get a job and it carries on. it's trying to break that cycle. for some teenagers, pressures at home and lockdowns did not help. it takes a lot of effort to get back to coming every day.
6:13 pm
i just want time for myself, time away from things that cause stress or could cause stress. it feels better being backed than just on the streets with my mates. i did not want to see anyone, did not want to talk, felt miserable and i know i made it worse and i'm so glad i'm not doing that— because i would not be in the same place i am now. when you spend a day being at school like this you realise there are so many reasons why children don't attend school. they do use fines here but they are in last resort. instead they try to focus on getting through to families. and for pupils praise and treats for good attendance. schools are under pressure. ministers wants a more consistent approach to tackle this including the use of penalties for parents. fines are a reasonable amount
6:14 pm
of money potentially at that end point, but the court system can take a long time. the ultimate impact of them, i'm not so sure how useful it is but it's a process we have to follow through. how satisfying is it when you make a breakthrough? really satisfying. you feel like you've made a difference to that child's life and that child's future. and that's way here they are making such an effort after covid. bradman jeffries, bbc news, middlesbrough. minimum pricing for alcohol in scotland was meant to persuade people to cut back on booze. but a new study from public health scotland has found that for the heaviest drinkers, it's not had the desired effect. instead, there's evidence they've been cutting back on essentials such as food and energy to afford the higher prices for alcohol. minimum unit pricing for alcohol in scotland was introduced in may 2018. it means that all licensed premises have to charge at least 50p
6:15 pm
per unit of alcohol. a law introducing the same minimum alcohol price in wales came into force in 2020. our scotland editor james cook reports. when i am drinking, it's between a litre and two litres of vodka a day. constantine has been struggling with booze for his entire adult life. it landed him in hospital five times this year. why do you drink? because i'm addicted. that's the easy answer. because i drink when i'm sad, i drink when i'm happy. four years ago the scottish government introduced minimum pricing for alcohol pushing up the cost of the strongest drinks. do you know what, i never noticed the price had gone up. it made no difference whatsoever. if it was a case of buying a burger or a meal or whatever or eating, and buying alcohol, i would buy alcohol.
6:16 pm
today's report found that story — cutting back on food and energy to keep buying booze — was typical among hard—core drinkers. what is different about this study is we focused on the very heaviest drinkers. and that actually wasn't the group the policy was targeting. if you want to target people who are dependent on alcohol there are better things you can do such as increasing spending on alcohol treatment systems and trying to prevent people getting dependent on alcohol in the first place. and that is happening according to one charity who's volunteers build relationships with problem drinkers and the shops which sell them the booze. if a man at the corner shop understands there is a local charity who supports people who continue to drink with loneliness and isolation and if we concentrate on efforts there we have a really good chance of reducing alcohol harm. there has been other research which is more positive about the effects of minimum pricing
6:17 pm
suggesting overall sales of alcohol were cut by the policy but this latest study highlights the depth and the complexity of this problem and the damage that booze continues to do to certain sections of scottish society. the time is 6:17pm. our top story this evening: borisjohnson tells his cabinet it's time to draw a line under the issue after winning a vote of confidence in his leadership — but 148 of his own mps voted against him. coming up, i am coming up, iam in coming up, i am in munich where england take on germany. there have been seven arrests over night but so far the atmosphere is one of excitement. coming up in sportsday on the bbc news channel: a third rider has been killed in a crash at this year's isle of man tt. davy morgan from northern ireland died on monday and had competed at every tt since 2002.
6:18 pm
ukraine's president zelensky has described parts of the east of the country as deserted — no wonder given the latest russian bombardment. civilians are fleeing towns like severodonetsk and lycychansk. and this is the region where three young british volunteers are helping to evacuate the frail and elderly. our international correspondent orla guerinjoined them for a day. the hard days are when you can't take everyone out. i have had phone calls with my mum where she has been in tears. but they are really proud of what i'm doing out here. i don't feel like there's anything else i could be doing that's more important than this. a briefing before they head off into harm's way. we will be stopping en route to pick up the patient. as they have done every day for months in a van driven over from england.
6:19 pm
these volunteers from different walks of life teamed up here in ukraine. they fund themselves and prefer not to be named. the youngest is 21, a dog trainer from kent who has done a course in trauma first aid. when we are out on evacuations we are very alert to what is going on. there have been a few moments you feel it's a bit close for comfort. as much danger as we are in we also feel quite prepared and reliable as a team. it is a world away from her home in sussex and previous career in technology. it is hands—on. her own family knows this trauma. her grandmother had to flee poland during the second world war. the team has helped around 150 ukrainians to flee.
6:20 pm
including anastasia who is 96. we just want to get things done without any bureaucracy or red tape. we work every day because this is what we care about and do and this is what matters. because we are all europeans and an attack on ukraine by russia is an attack on all of us and we care about it. back in the uk he was caring for sheep and cattle on a farm in cornwall. no preparation for aid work in a war zone in eastern ukraine. some people at home will say, what are guys doing? why didn't you leave it to the ukrainians or the big organisations? good question. i did not expect we would be needed or wanted in this sort of role. but we are.
6:21 pm
the ukrainians that we are working with want to see us doing this and they seem to think we are doing a good job. in an ideal world we would be redundant, but we are not. they brought anastasia to the train station for a journey away from the east. it has come to this. for a survivor of world war ii who lived to see europe's newest war. tomorrow, the team will evacuate more ukrainians towards relative safety but away from home. you hope that you are doing the right thing, taking them away. and you think about that for every person you evacuate. will they get to come back? ukrainians are tied to the lands and i was told if you take a ukrainian away from that then they will die. that is why whenever i evacuate
6:22 pm
a woman i will pick her a flowerfrom outside her building. i can't give them anything else to take with them but i can give them the flower to take. it's the only thing i can do. that was one of the british volunteers in ukraine ending orla guerin's report from the eastern donbas region. more than 10,000 migrants have reached the uk by boat so far this year. a group of 79 people were brought to shore by the border force in this years total is already double the figure for the equivalent period in 2021. monkeypox is to be listed as a notifiable disease in england. it means doctors are required to notify their local council or health protection team if they suspect a patient has the viral infection. there are already more than 30 notifiable diseases in the uk, including measles, tuberculosis and diphtheria. the mother of jamal edwards, who died in february this year,
6:23 pm
has revealed that the cause of death was a heart problem after taking recreational drugs. brenda edwards says she's still trying to process what she's been told about his death. through his youtube channel, jamal edwards helped launch the careers of some of the biggest british stars in music today. here's our entertainment correspondent, lizo mzimba. jamaal edwards was the music entrepreneur whose sbtv youtube channel helped launch the careers of stars like stormzy, dave, and ed sheeran. over 15 years, he grew the channel into a media empire. everyone in my area was an mc and i remember i was sitting there and i was thinking, why can't i find these online? his death in february aged just 31 shocked musicians and fans. many paying tribute at a mural that had been created for him for years earlier in west london.
6:24 pm
at the opening of his inquest the assistant coroner said there was reason to suspect that he had not died from natural causes. and on social media his mother brenda, who he'd once appeared alongside on her discussion show loose women, said she was in a state of shock after being told that he died from heart problems caused by taking recreational drugs. she said, "it's so important that we help drive more conversation during his lifetime this mural was commissioned in order to inspire a new generation of youth. his mother hopes as well as that younger people in particular will be in a position to learn from the sad, tragic circumstances of jamal edwards' death.
6:25 pm
for the first time veterans of the battle of normandy in the second world war have been able to commemorate d—day. the new memorial to all 22,442 british servicemen and women was officially opened above gold beach, in northern france, last year. but due to covid restrictions, veterans were unable to visit the site. veterans and their families attended a service and a display by the french air force team. football, and england play germany in munich for the first time since 2001 — when england achived an historic 5—1victory. now the three lions are looking to bounce back from saturday's surprise 1—0 defeat by hungary in budapest. our sports correspondent, natalie pirks, is in munich. some concern about fan behaviour, natalie? yes, there was, but it has to be
6:26 pm
said tonight it is pretty calm so far. the atmosphere is one of excitement and there is a strong police presence, around 700 german police presence, around 700 german police are working tonight but have been praised by their uk counterparts for their calm and measured approach to some of the anti—social behaviour we have seen from england fans. there were seven arrests overnight including three for nazi salutes. around 3500 england fans are officially on the away end tonight but many have exploited a loophole to buy a ticket in the german end although some have had those tickets cancelled now. it is important for the fa it goes well tonight because they are still in a warning for the behaviour of fans from the euro spinal last night, the match against italy at the weekend will be placed behind closed doors and we've been in the old town and it has been mostly good—natured and the england fans have mostly been singing about their most recent victory over germany, the 2—0 last summer which knocked germany out of the euro is and it was 5—1 the last time england were in munich, 21
6:27 pm
years ago and gareth southgate would like that tonight that the treaties england looked tired and disjointed in the shock defeat to hungary at the weekend —— the truth is. whereas germany, eversince the weekend —— the truth is. whereas germany, ever since the defeat to england last summer, they have been on a roll and have not lost a match. plenty for gareth southgate to ponder tonight. british number one tennis champion, emma raducanu, says she has "no idea" whether she will be fit for wimbledon this summer, after dropping out of her nottingham open match against viktorija golubic because of an injury. our sports correspondent andy swiss reports. emma raducanu! it started with a smile but for emma raducanu it would prove an ultimately painful day. moments into her opening match at nottingham she seemed to feel a twinge in her left side. there was a break as she took some painkillers before receiving treatment on the court. and after several minutes she was eventually able to carry on, but not for long. at 4—3 down in the first set
6:28 pm
she decided she could not continue. ladies and gentlemen, unfortunately emma raducanu is forced to retire due to an injury. the disappointment was clear and so was the concern. with wimbledon less than three weeks away, emma raducanu says she's not sure if she will be fit. i've got no idea, it could havejust seized up and spasmed and it's really bad for a few days. i've got no idea. i can't diagnose myself so i'll get it checked out. i'm obviously disappointed and it's really bad luck sometimes because i feel like i've been putting really good work in and it's almost like you just want to catch a break or something. ever since her remarkable us open victory, raducanu has struggled with both herform and herfitness. wimbledon, of course, is where she first made her name with a stunning run last summer, but will she be back this summer? both she and british tennis could be in for a nervous wait.
6:29 pm
time for a look at the weather. here's nick miller. is it to tennis weather? it has been. you're asking the wrong person if you want good weather because we are dodging the downpours as the showers are coming back in nottingham in many places after a fine day today and that best is in scotland and northern ireland but the weather has already changed across south—west england close to this curl of cloud with outbreaks of rain beginning to move in, so if you are in south—west england, wales and northern ireland it is this evening you will see some rain pushing in and it is overnight that it spreads east across england and into southern scotland and the bright colours indicate there will be heavy bursts and for many of us it will be a mild nightand i'll start bursts and for many of us it will be a mild night and i'll start to the day tomorrow. early rain in eastern england clears tomorrow by the reigning southern scotland will creep into the central belt and then dies away, not reaching the far north but we have sunny spells. elsewhere tomorrow, sunny spells and
6:30 pm
scattered heavy and thundery showers and a chance of hailstorms and a cooler day, particular in scotland where you have rain for a time and a windy one across southern areas and you will notice it around wales and southern england. the afternoon could bring longer spells of rain across southern counties of northern ireland and tomorrow evening it pushes to north wales and north—west england as the die away. for thursday, but more friday and saturday it is this area of low pressure we are watching. and the centre of the tropical storm will miss us in the north but it will turn things windy across the uk especially in north—western areas and on thursday will pushing cloud and on thursday will pushing cloud and rain to south—west england and wales whereas scotland, northern and eastern england will stay dry with sunny spells. turning breezy in the west but the windiest weather will be across northern and western scotland and northern ireland from friday into saturday with showers around. lighterwinds in friday into saturday with showers around. lighter winds in comparison england and wales and north england and north wales might see showers
6:31 pm
but warmest weather will be across
