today at 5pm... a judgment is expected shortly from the high court, where campaigners are challenging government plans to send some asylum seekers to rwanda. lawyers have argued it's not safe, but the government insists the ukrainian ambassador to the uk tells the bbc he expects there to be a prisoner swap to free two britons sentenced to death by a russian proxy court yesterday. it comes as the defence secretary ben wallace meets ukraine's president zelensky, on an unannounced trip to kyiv. new figures suggest more than half of uk households have cut their energy use because of concerns over the rising cost of living. a french a chain of failures by authorities at the champions league final in paris severely damaged france's

image, according to a french government report. coming up on the film review: the dinosaurs are back. find out what mark kermode thinks of drastic world: dominion and the rest of the weeklike maine releases at 5:45pm. on the government's controversial plans to fly some migrants to rwanda next week. the core has been hearing a claim from charities and campaigners against the home office which is due to put 31 asylum—seekers on a plan to rwanda on tuesday. the first flight of its kind. lawyers have told the high court the government's policy is

irrational and misleading. other —— the home office insists its plan is in the public interest and does comply with national and international law. our legal correspondent dominic casciani reports. a bed with a roof over it — but is it safety and sanctuary? this is one of the reception hotels waiting in rwanda's capital, kigali, for asylum seekers from the uk due to arrive on the flight leaving next tuesday. legally controversial, but a political priority for home secretary priti patel, who struck the deal with the country's government to receive asylum seekers that the home office does not want to consider for refuge at home. people like these. migrants crossing the english channel this year. 10,000 since january, double the rate of last year. targeted for removal from the uk because the home office claims they have no legal right to seek asylum here. the home office says its rwanda policy targets migrants taking dangerous, unnecessary and illegal journeys to the uk. the rules apply to some, but not all, reaching the uk through a safe country.

rwanda will take responsibility for their asylum claims, although the uk will foot the bills. but charities say the entire plan is illegal, and that's why they are today asking judges to stop it. we don't believe that anyone should be being punished for claiming asylum. the uk is a signatory to the refugee convention, the right to claim asylum is a human right. it's a one—way ticket. there is no route back to the uk, even if they are then recognised theoretically in rwanda as a refugee. it's a stepping back entirely of our obligation to protect people in need from persecution. the government always knew the plan was so controversial it was always going to end up before the courts, but the home office says it is lawful to send people to rwanda, because they should have claimed asylum in the eu first. but today, a judge heard that the un has such concerns about standards of asylum in the country, it is irrational to send anyone there at all. four years ago, congolese refugees protest about the treatment in rwanda. lawyers warn that refugees

sent from here could face similar treatment. that's why they want to kill the policy dead — a policy ministers say is vital to deterring dangerous journeys over the english channel. i'm joined by our news correspondent sean dilley, who's following the case. we are expecting judgment any minute now, so of course we will bring that to you live. how significant could thisjudgment be, do you think, for the government? how higher the stakes on this one?— the government? how higher the stakes on this one? very important leaall and stakes on this one? very important legally and politically. _ stakes on this one? very important legally and politically. legally, - legally and politically. legally, clearly the court could give what they call interim relief, stopping they call interim relief, stopping the flights from taking place next week. that would be legally significant next week because that would require very detailed arguments in the court as to the lawfulness of the action. now that's the second action being taken by the

coalition of charities and the union. it's also politically highly significant. one imagines if the prime minister is not personally washing this now —— watching this now, he'll be slightly nervous and a week when boris johnson now, he'll be slightly nervous and a week when borisjohnson is scrapping to get some of that political credibility back after a confidence vote that he won but not by the margin he liked to. the vote that he won but not by the margin he liked to.— vote that he won but not by the margin he liked to. the first flight is due on tuesday _ margin he liked to. the first flight is due on tuesday with _ margin he liked to. the first flight is due on tuesday with 31 - margin he liked to. the first flight is due on tuesday with 31 people | is due on tuesday with 31 people do to be on board. what are the arguments being put to the high court today on this? trier? arguments being put to the high court today on this? very simply, it's a balance _ court today on this? very simply, it's a balance between _ court today on this? very simply, it's a balance between the - court today on this? very simply, it's a balance between the public| it's a balance between the public interest, which i'll come back to — that's what the home office is arguing, versus human rights. the home office say they are targeting not exclusively, but people making dangerous channel crossings coming into the uk. the home secretary has previously spoken about evil people traffic holds —— people traffickers.

they argue that the case is not being put on that which would have a deterrent effect, which is part of the argument. on the other hand, there are serious concerns about human rights within rwanda. as dominic was saying, is it safe? the united nations refugee body has expressed serious concerns about the inability to monitor despite, and to the contrary the government say they had support from the unhcr. they say, "no you don't, in april we had two meetings with you," they say they've told the home office they believe the policy is unlawful. sean, we'll be back with you when we get thatjudgment this hour and we'll see whether the high court does block that first deportation flight. thank you very much, indeed. the ukrainian ambassador to the uk has told the bbc, that ukraine is in negotiations to free the two britons sentenced to death for fighting against russian forces — and he says there will be a prisoner swap.

aiden aslin and shaun pinner were captured while fighting with the ukrainian army, and have been tried as merceneries by a court in russian—held territory. both men had been living in ukraine at the time of the invasion. the ukrainian ambassador to the uk, vadym prystaiko told me that he believed the trial and sentencing was part of a wider prisoner exchange plan. it is the preparation for a big operation of the swap of the prisoners. that's how it's done in civilised societies. especially those who committed atrocities, i understand some did not, but there are some people who committed personally atrocities, they have to be criminally prosecuted. what will happen to them afterwards? will they be part of the exchange of prisoners? that will probably happen. the rest, just soldiers, will be swapped as any war would see it, at the end of the war.

could there be an exchange, a swap for these two britons specifically who have had the death sentence passed? it will be a swap, the important question is what is the price? russia was talking about some ukrainian mps to be swapped, especially those i now understand were working for them all these years. i don't want to go into details because the sensitive work of our prosecutor general�*s office, the special services, how to communicate and it allows these operations to happen. our diplomatic correspondent james landale explains the background to the death sentences. aiden aslin and shaun pinner had served in ukraine's armed forces for several years. they had made the country their home. but now these two britons have been sentenced to death for being mercenaries. if you are watching this,

it means that we have surrendered... both men had been defending the city of mariupol. this was mr aslin�*s last video message before they ran out of ammunition and were forced to surrender. the two britons were convicted by a court in russian—held eastern ukraine, a court not recognised internationally. russian state television said the men had a month to appeal. mr aslin�*s former mp said he hoped both men could be swapped for russian prisoners. there are prisoner exchanges happening between the ukrainian and the russian army. and the ukrainian ambassador told me last night that they would give priority to aiden and shaun in one of those exchanges, but that, of course, relies on russia playing ball. the foreign secretary, liz truss, discussed the situation on the phone this morning with her ukrainian counterpart, dmytro kuleba. in a tweet afterwards, she said the men were prisoners of war, and the judgment against them was an egregious breach of the geneva conventions. but the foreign office appears reluctant to escalate this

into a bilateral dispute with moscow, to avoid fuelling the false claims the men were british mercinaries. what officials both here and in ukraine believe is that russia is using the case of mr aslin and mr pinner to put pressure on the uk. these people, they have been accused and they have been . prosecuted illegally, i without any guarantees of the rule of law. the russians are trying - to intimidate the whole world with a different means. ukraine's prosecutor general, iryna venediktova, said the sentencing was phony, a violation of international law. and she has already begun an investigation into what she called this illegal action. james landale, bbc news. this afternoon, we learned the defence secretary ben wallace met with president zelensky in kyiv this week, after an unannounced visit to the ukrainian capital. our correspondent nick beake

is following developments from kyiv, and has been telling us about a video of the the meeting. you can see the warmth between the two men. mr wallace telling president zelensky that he's doing an amazingjob, to president zelensky that he's doing an amazing job, to which the president responds, "we are doing it together," an indication of the bond between ukraine and uk. britain has been instrument on sending weapons to this country to fight russia's advance. mr zelensky seemed to reply we are doing it together, it's the ukrainian people who should be praised for their efforts. this was an unannounced visit but it's the latest sign the british government want to show their solidarity with ukraine, with the government here in kyiv. it shows after these two britons were sentenced to death are apparently being mercenaries.

certainly that was the view of the court and the use of this country, the donbas region, a court which no country in the world recognises apart from russia. and this is a case that, as we been hearing, has international dimensions to it. the russian foreign ministry saying today that britain's response in these sorts of cases is hysterical. will have more on ukraine injust a few minutes. more than half of all households in the uk have reduced their spending on gas and electricity, because of concerns over the sharply rising cost of living. new figures released by the office for national statistics show that 77% of adults are worried or very worried about rising costs, with almost half the respondents saying they had reduced the number of items in their food shopping. government figures also show that 22% of pupils in england now qualify for free school meals, and the cost of filling an average

family car with petrol has hit £100 for the first time. our social affairs correspondent michael buchanan reports on the impact of rising prices in slade green, near dartford, in kent. once we've paid all our bills, there's nothing left — nothing. i've had a stroke with covid—19. i was fit, i was active, earning 40 grand a year — gone. don't do much potatoes, i takes too long with the gas. i've lost two stone _ because i literally walk everywhere, because i can't afford the fuel. running the slade green food bank can feel never—ending. hundreds of people are fed from this small hall in southeast london each week. families that once just about managed are now barely surviving. my energy prices have gone up from £90 a month to £300 a month. i've got a car, but the mot runs out next week. so i can't afford to put it through another mot, so i have to scrap my car. michelle and her husband were laid

off when the company they worked for went under during the pandemic. i'm actually registered disabled, so when you do apply for a job, no one wants to hire me because there's so many able—bodied people out there. our heating's off, we all have a rota of when we're allowed to have a shower. so, every other day, we have a shower. don't have any butter left, i'm afraid, sorry. butjust as the need increasing, so donations are following. —— falling. i've got no milk and no chocolate... over several days, we regularly saw the food bank run out of various basic supplies. everything's going up in the shops. so, not only are we seeing the knock—on effect of people not being able to afford to donate, but we've also not been able to get out and buy it ourselves because of the prices. slade green is an area of relatively high unemployment and low wages. the lack of money creates stress — domestic violence is a significant issue, and mental health problems are rocketing. this small group meet up weekly for a walk and attempt

to tackle isolation. all my bills, gas and electric, have gone up. sue, who suffers from anxiety, told me about the mental impact of rising costs. you do struggle, and that doesn't help your mental health. i mean, you try and brush it off when you're out about with people, but then you go back to indoors and you're sitting there — and that's when you start to think about it. and things like this, i think, do help. stretched finances create other health problems, too. eating cheap but often unhealthy foods is increasing obesity levels. and some people can't afford even basic medicines. you'll get more people coming in for paracetamol and that because they get free prescriptions when they can't afford a box of paracetamol. not that we can prescribe that because are you see there's certain things they can buy over—the—counter. —— because obviously there's certain things _ but it's really, really hard for people to actually have that disposable income. ok, that's brilliant, thanks.

ministers say they're protecting eight million vulnerable families, giving them at least £1,200 this year in direct payments. but until that help feels real, many families will continue to struggle. i haven't done washing for about a week, and it's piling up. because it's either you do the washing, and you run out of electric — or you don't do the electric and you do the washing by hand. i never thought i'd be this desperate in 2022. it's horrendous. more people are using food banks today than did so during the pandemic. a basic requirement to eat has become a daily, sometimes desperate challenge for many. michael buchanan, bbc news, south london. to the united states now. a us congressional panel has described last year's attack on the capitol as an attempted coup by donald trump, aimed at overturning the election of president biden. the panel says mr trump summoned the mob and "lit the flame" for the attack as part

of a conspiracy to cling to office. the inquiry has been holding the first in a series of primetime televised hearings into the storming of the capitol. mr trump dismissed the claims as a hoax and a witch hunt. nomia iqbal reports from washington. they�* re marching eastbound. it's one of the most documented events in modern history. just want to advise, they're trying to breach and get into the capitol. and new footage shows just how close america came to losing its democracy on january the 6th. this was a highly—produced hearing made for prime—time tv, in which the committee said it would reveal shocking details of what happened. and aware of the rioters' chants to hang mike pence, the president responded with this sentiment. quote, "maybe our supporters have the right idea." "mike pence," quote, "deserves it." we heard from the attorney general at the time, william barr, once close to donald trump.

i made it clear i did not agree - with the idea of saying the election was stolen and putting out the stuff which i told the _ president, was bleep. and, for the first time, we saw mr trump's daughter agree. i respect attorney general barr. so, i...accepted what he said, was saying. do you swear and affirm, under penalty of perjury... then came the live testimony, first from a police officer injured that day by the pro—trump mob. chanting: u-s-a, u-s-a, u-s-a! i was called a traitor to my country, my oath and my constitution. in actuality, i was none of those things. i was an american, standing face—to—face with other americans, asking myself how, many times... ..many, many times, how we had gotten here.

and then a british film—maker, nick quested, who filmed with the proud boys, a far—right militia group accused of sparking the riot. i documented the crowd turn from protesters, to rioters, to insurrectionists. i was surprised at the size of the group, the anger and profanity. and for anyone who didn't understand how violent that event was, i saw it, i documented it and i experienced it. inside the hearing, those who lost loved ones wept. the word "illegal" was used many times in the hearing. the panel is ultimately trying to set out this case to prove that donald trump's attempt to overturn the election result led directly to the deadly riot. nomia iqbal, bbc news, washington. for more i'm joined now by our north america correspondent barbara plett usher.

this is just the first in a series of hearings, what more can we expect? of hearings, what more can we exect? , , ., expect? they will flesh out the kinds of things _ expect? they will flesh out the kinds of things they _ expect? they will flesh out the kinds of things they put - expect? they will flesh out the | kinds of things they put forward expect? they will flesh out the i kinds of things they put forward in their overview during their hearing. so they are saying this was a meticulous conspiracy, methodical conspiracy, the republican co—chair liz cheney talked about a sophisticated seven part plan, then mentioned those parts that they'll look at. so for example, how mr trump tried to steal the election results, claiming that he knew that he'd actually lost because members in his inner circle told him so, so it was a calculated campaign of lies, according to the committee. we will also be looking at how he tried to replace hisjustice department officials with some people who would be more willing to do his bidding, although that ultimately failed. they'll be looking at these militias, the connections they had to mr trump, specifically how they were motivated by his tweets and statements, and therefore came to the capital ready for organised

violence. those are some things about the pressure on mike pence to overturn the election results, even though that was unconstitutional. they will frame it all in this idea that this was a threat to american democracy, but it's not one that's over, it is ongoing because mr trump might run again in 2024, and also some of his allies are running for election at the state level and running for positions that actually deal with elections. so they want to keep this as a current threat. find keep this as a current threat. and barbara, keep this as a current threat. and barbara. this _ keep this as a current threat. and barbara, this is _ keep this as a current threat. and barbara, this is a _ keep this as a current threat. and barbara, this is a democrat dominated panel — how is it being viewed more widely across america? well, i think the response to that has largely come from republicans. we did have a statement from the republican national committee which echoed what we've been hearing from republican politicians and officials

in general — which is that it's a partisan, illegitimate committee, the americans don't want a political circus, they would let congress to focus on much more pressing issues like petrol prices and empty store shelves, which they blame on the biden administration. what the republicans never say though is that the initial idea was for a national commission of inquiry along the lines of a 9/11 inquiry and that would be a bipartisan panel — and that the house voted for that, but it was senate republicans who rejected it. so that is never mentioned in this criticism that this is a partisan exercise. barbara, thank you. a 14—year—old boy has been stabbed to death in manchester. the teenager's mother is being treated in hospital for serious stab wounds, after they were attacked in a property in the miles platting area of the city yesterday evening. police say the suspected attacker was known to the victims. he still hasn't been arrested and the public are being warned not to approach him. our correspondent yunus mulla has

this update from the scene what has happened here, greater manchester police say, is nothing short of devastating, with a 14—year—old stabbed and killed, his mother seriously injured, and killed, his mother seriously injured, in what officers described it as a ferocious attack and a shocking incident. emergency services were called here to north manchester on an estate at around 9:30pm. the boy was treated for his injuries and his mother was also treated for injuries and taken to hospital. he died about one hour later, she is described as being in a stable condition. what you see over my shoulder is a lot of police activity, there's a huge police presence here, i have seen search teams, officers looking at nearby fields and knocking on doors of residents and lifting up drain covers as part of this murder investigation. what they are stressing is that this is domestic incident and the suspect, the attacker, is said to have been

known to the victims. clearly there is a lot of shock here. the bbc has spoken to two young men who knew the 14—year—old who died. they said he was a popular boy, they played football with him and he was well liked here. of course police want any information anyone has to help them with this investigation. they say that they are working or at what they call a tremendous pace to try and trace the suspect who they say is asian, in his mid—40s, and of medium build, because they want him in custody, they want him for questioning, because they say they want to piece together happened here. —— piece together what happened here. there are early signs of a possible increase in the number of people testing positive for covid in england and northern ireland. that's according to the office for national statistics. its report suggests the small rise

is likely to be driven by the ba—4 and ba—5 variants of omicron. studies show these variants may be able to spread more easily than older omicron variants. the latest estimates suggest around 990,000 people in the uk have covid. a 17th—century shipwreck has been discovered off the norfolk coast, and it's being described as the most important maritime discovery since the raising of the mary rose. the gloucester sank 340 years ago while carrying the future king james ii of england — but the ship's whereabouts were unknown until a team of divers found it after a four—year search. jo black reports. beneath the surface, 30 miles off the yarmouth coast lies the gloucester. a 17th—century warship which came to a tragic end. it sank 340 years ago, after hitting the sand bank. onboard was the future king of

england, james stuart, duke of york. he survived, but others did not. it is estimated between 130 and 250 people died that morning in may. since 1683, the vessel remained half buried on the sea bed, and its exact location was unknown. —— since 1682. now we know that it's been discovered, it has caused much excitement, with some saying that this is the most important maritime find since the mary rose. and these are the two brothers who located the royal ship. julian and lincoln barnwell are norfolk based printers, but they're also professional divers, and after years of looking for second world war wrecks, they wanted a new challenge. would you believe there's 40,000 wrecks around the whole of the uk, and there's a lot off norfolk. we've done lots of those, great adventure, but there was always what's next, what's next?

a peek through lincoln's encyclopedia of shipwrecks set them on the trail for the gloucester. and after a four year search, over 5,000 nautical miles, they finally found her. i could see a dark shadow on the sea bed, so you know, you're on some wreck, which is really fantastic, obviously, and before you knew it, another five metres or so, i was kneeling on the sea bed and surrounded byjust fantastically huge canon, and there was more than one, a group of them, and i knelt there, took the moment in, probably five minutes — just, just unbelievable. just one i will never forget. you popped up, and normally you take all your kit off, because it is really heavy. he was so pumped with adrenaline, he just climbed up our stainless steel ladders, hand extended, and he said "we've found her." ifell over, didn't i? you did. then he fell over. and they have recovered many fascinating artefacts — pipes still full of tobacco, spectacles with spare lenses and bottles, some of them

with wine still inside. and there is also the ship's bell. many will want to see the gloucester raised, but whether that is possible is still to be determined, with much more historical scientific and archaeological work to do. jo black reporting. let's pause and take a look at the latest weather forecast with darren. think you very much indeed, good evening, a mix of sunshine and showers to come this weekend, we've seen heavy showers today already in northern ireland, 1—2 thunderstorms and bands of thundershowers have been pushing eastwards in scotland. those will get blown through on those blustery winds this evening, but overnight we will see some further wet weather coming into the northwest of scotland with the strengthening wins. 1—2 showers across the west of the uk, but for england and wales it will be fine

and dry overnight, temperatures like last night, 11—13 c. windy weather again tomorrow, touching gale force here, longerspells again tomorrow, touching gale force here, longer spells of rain tomorrow in scotland, quite a few showers to come for a northern island. maybe 1-2 come for a northern island. maybe 1—2 more showers across england and wales but further south it'll be dry with plenty of sunshine, temperatures reaching 22 celsius. cooler than today in scotland and northern ireland. second half of the weekend won't be as windy, we've got a scattering of light showers for scotland and northern ireland, and the far north of england, plenty of sunshine to the south, temperatures peaking at 21—22 c.

you are watching bbc news. judgment is expected any minute now from the high court where campaigners have been challenging government plans to

send some asylum seekers to rwanda. the ukrainian ambassador to the uk tells the bbc there will be a swap to free two britons sentenced to death by russia. it comes as the defence secretary ben wallace meets ukraine's president zelensky, on an unannounced trip to kyiv. new figures suggest more than half of uk households have cut their energy use because they are so worried about the rising cost of living. a chain of failures by the authorities at the champions league final in paris has severely damaged france's image, according to a french government report. a royal warship that sank 340 years ago, while carrying the future king is discovered off the coast of norfolk.

very open secret in sport. the opening day of the second test at trent bridge between england and new zealand did not start well for new zealand did not start well for new zealand with their captain testing positive for covid. despite playing without him, they made a solid start and were 84 without loss. ben stokes made the breakthrough to see off will young. jimmy anderson took the wicket and dismissed devon conway. england looked to be on top for a while. stokes removed henry nicholls, new zealand have since started to pile on the runs with daryl mitchell reaching his half—century. the visitors are now 281-4. golf half—century. the visitors are now 281—4. golf and brightenjumbo has become the latest significant golfer to turn his back on the pga tour and join the new saudi

funded the 28—year—old american won the 2020 us open and is in the prime of his career, rather than the start or end of it like many of the others. de chambeau comes the day after the pga tour said it was suspending any members who joined the rival circuit. his first appearance will be in the second event of the £200 million series, which starts onjune 30th in portland, oregon. ferrari's charl leclerc clocked the quickest time in second practice for this weekend's azerbaijan grand prix. despite topping the standings, leclerc was far from happy with the car and was heard questioning the team about a sudden loss of power. sergio perez, who finished fastest in first practise, was second while lewis hamilton struggled back in 12th. billy bingham, the most successful manager of northern ireland's football team, has died at the age of 90. bingham played in the 1958 world cup before leading northern ireland — as their manager — to the world cup in 1982, where they had a stunning win over spain, and they reached the world cup again in 1986. he played for sunderland, luton and everton, who he also managed in the 1970s.

paying tribute, the irish football association says, "billy holds a unique place in the football hearts of northern ireland." england play italy at molineux tomorrow in the nations league. it's their third game in a week, and they are looking to improve on a defeat in hungary and tuesday's 1—1 draw with germany. it's also a rematch of last year's european championship final, which italy won on penalties. and england manager gareth southgate he has no issues with picking a strong side. i think if we only give players certain types of match, you don't find out enough about them and they don't find out the technical challenges. so for us it is a balance always of knowing that we have got to win matches but also try to find out about the player and them

to get a good experience. to tennis now, and andy murray has had his biggest win since his hip surgery with a straight sets defeat of the world number five, stefanos tsitsispas. murray beat the former french open finalist 7—6 6—3 in the quarter finals in stuttgart. murray's last win over a top five player was in 2016 when he beat novak djokovic at the atp finals. since then, he has had two major operations on his hip. that was murray not novak djokovic. britain's harriet dart made an impressive start to her first wta quarterfinal at the nottingham open where she is playing american alison riske. the match is live on the red button. dart took the first set 6—4, but riske has come back to take the second set 6—2. her opponent is the sixth seed. she has a break up in the third set. you can watch all of the nottingham open action on the bbc iplayer, or the bbc sport website.

that's all the sport for now. austin halewood will have more for you in sportsday at 6.30pm. thank you very much indeed. devon and cornwall police and the marine accident investigation branch have launched parallel investigations following the recovery of two bodies from roadford lake near okehampton. the bodies of a man in his 40s and a woman in her 60s were recovered from the lake last night after a boat capsized on wednesday afternoon. a third person, a woman in her 50s, remains in a critical condition. let's get more from jenny kumah, who's in okehampton. the full details have yet to be established over what happened and the full facts have yet to be made out. that investigation is under way. on wednesday at around 130, there were around six people on a boat which capsized. four people were rescued from the water, a

further two were unaccounted for. there was a huge search of this lake that was launched. it went on for more than 24 hours and involved specialist equipment, divers, drones, helicopters, and it was last night that the news came that the search had ended. two bodies of disabled people were recovered. this afternoon, we had a bit more detail about the two people. we have learnt that they are a man in his 40s and a woman in her 60s. but we understand the police have said that formal identification has yet to be completed. the police have confirmed that no other boat was involved, but they have declined to comment on reports that the people who died were strapped into their wheelchairs. of those four people that were rescued, one is in hospital, we understand she is a woman in her 50s and she is in a critical condition. this is an incident which has shocked people

living locally. today, in people have been tribute. the local mayor, the local sailing club, emergency services have issued statements saying how the incident has saddened them and also offering their condolences to everyone that has been affected. jenny, thank you very much indeed. the united states is lifting the requirement for international travellers to have a covid test within 24 hours of boarding their flights from this sunday. the need for testing will be re—evaluated every three months, and could be reinstated if a new variant emerges. the move ends one of the last restrictions related to the pandemic. covid has killed more than a million people in the us. michelle fleuryjoins me now from new york. this is good news for travellers in and out of the united states and also the aviation industry there. yeah, the timing of this could not

particularly in crowd management. which underlay and aggravated the situation and made it so in the end of the police had no choice but to let that barrier down, netting the crowds —— letting the crowds later on. a complete lack of coordination between the underground managers, the train system and the command system in the stad difference who knew that the liverpool fans were being pushed onto one of the train lines coming out. but they weren't prepared for that at the stadium. as a result, we had this huge arrival of tens of thousands of people, 50,000 people at one point that this tunnel leading up to the stadium, and the officials were completely unable to cope with this mass arrival. a lot of things to be looked over.— arrival. a lot of things to be looked over. ., , looked over. hugh schofield there us in paris. ajudgment _

sports day at 6:30pm. now on bbc news it is time for the film review. hello and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. i'm jane hill. and to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. hi, mark. what have you been watching? quite the mixed bag. we havejurassic world dominion. the dinosaurs are back. we have swan song, starring german legend udo kier, and all my friends hate me. is it a comedy? is it a horror movie? dinosaurs are back. that's it. end of the review. there we go. thank you for watching. so this picks up four years after fallen kingdom. man and dinosaurs must coexist

because the dinosaurs are now out in the world. also co—existing are the stars of the originaljurassic park movies and the stars of the jurassic world movies. see what they've done? all together, kind of big variety stage. the plot this time revolves around a sinister biotech company who are scheming to take over the world's food supplies through genetic engineering. our heroes must unite to save themselves and the world. here's a clip. we got to go. going to have to break a window to get inside that thing. hope nobody's afraid of heights. growling don't move. now, did that look at all familiar to you? i mean, you know.

a bit! ok, fine. so here's the thing. i mean, this basically plays like a greatest hits collection. i mean, ifa band comes onto a festival stage, you've got to play the hits. so this the conclusion of the second trilogy and the end of the story. play the hits, do the bit when everybody looks up and is astonished. do the bit whenjeff goldblum, whose character, incidentally, makes no sense whatsoever but manages to make every single line a voyage of discovery somehow. because he's employed by the company, as far as i can tell, he's employed simply to tell them that everything is a really, really bad idea, but get him to do that thing he does. you said when you were watching the clip, i love sam neill. we all love sam neill! and he has a kind of indiana jones—style hat. the problem with this is for a while, it can't decide which movie it wants to be. i mean, fora bit, it's a kind ofjames bond movie chasing around in very scenic backstreets. then for a while it thinks it wants to be mission impossible. and there's a bit when chris pratt attempts to drive a motorbike into the back of an aeroplane.

and then there's a bit which looks like it's come from austin powers
