welcome to bbc news. i'm lucy grey. our top stories: the row over british plans to send migrants to rwanda heats up. the high court gives the go—ahead but the uk's future king is reportedly not so keen. more misery for mariupol with warnings of the risk of cholera and other infectious diseases as the dead go unburied. after thursday's hearing into the deadly insurrection at the us capitol, president biden warns the threat to democracy still remains. pop starjustin bieber cancels a number of shows after being diagnosed with an illness that's partially paralysed his face. and how the shamans of peru are trying to help the national football team qualify for the world cup.

prince charles is reported to have privately described the british government's policy of sending migrants to rwanda as "appalling". the comments, reported in the times newspaper, emerged after the high court ruled that the first flight taking asylum seekers from the uk to the central african country could go ahead next tuesday. we have more on his comments in a moment but first, here's the bbc�*s mark easton on the legal proceedings. is it lawful to give people seeking asylum in the uk a one—way ticket to rwanda? telling them to pursue refugee status thousands of miles south in east africa? the first migrants are due to make thatjourney next tuesday with campaigners today failing in their legal bid to stop the removals. the high court in london heard from home office lawyers that

six asylum seekers who had been due to be deported have had their removal directions cancelled, but thejudge was not persuaded to halt the flight carrying 31 others, dismissing arguments that the policy is unlawful. the government welcomed thejudgement. campaigners said the fight goes on. no, it's absolutely not a landmark day, and doesn't — it is important to note this isn't the substantive hearing, so this isn't in any way a vindication of the home secretary's policy — that is still to be tested in the courts in the next few weeks. the lawyer representing those trying to stop next week's flight, raza husain, pointed out that the home office has repeatedly claimed that their rwanda policy has been given the green light by the unhcr, the un agency responsible for the refugee convention. "that's misleading and incorrect," he told the judge. the united nations has used rwanda for several years... priti patel has consistently claimed her deal with rwanda is lawful, under the refugee convention. this agreement is comparable with all our domestic and international legal obligations.

but in court today, a barrister for the un told thejudge: . notjust once, but on numerous occasions it was claimed. after the deal was signed in kigali in april, the un had two meetings with priti patel and told her the arrangement broke international law. the government's legal team, however, interprets the convention differently, noting that more than 10,000 asylum seekers have risked their lives crossing the channel in small boats already this year and arguing there is a significant public interest in a policy that will deter people from making those journeys and undermine the activities of criminal people smugglers. around 100 asylum seekers are now in immigration detention, threatened with deportation to rwanda. in brook house near gatwick, some have been on hunger strike. 0ne syrian spoke to the bbc. a translator has voiced his words. translation: i came to the uk

because it's the only place - i have connections to. my brother, my uncle and my aunt live here. if i end up in rwanda, my future and the future of my two kids will be destroyed. the home office had always expected a legal challenge and welcoming the high court decision tonight, the home secretary insisted she will not be deterred. however, campaigners have been given permission to appeal against today's judgement. the matter to be decided at a hearing on monday, just hours before the flight to kigali is due to take off. mark easton, bbc news. we've been speaking to polly mackenzie, a political commentator, about prince charles reportedly calling the government's rwanda policy "appalling". charles, who will be king — potentially sooner than we might wish, given her majesty's ill—health — his position is unique and he has to have a constitutionally independent role. he has to find a way to be neutral and, essentially, a sort of a counsellor

to the government of the day, but it is not his call what the government does. in the end, they are voted in by a democratic system and, you know, charles has made these blunders, i guess you might call them, or has been outspoken throughout his life. there have so often been controversies. again, lots of them on issues where i tend to agree with him, — around the kind of housebuilding that we do or around the importance of nature — but i think it will be a challenge. of course, having spent — unlike the queen, who has spent almost all of her adult life as the monarch — charles is now in his 70s and is still only the heir to the throne. i think that adaptation will be challenging and it's a reminder, i'm sure, for him and those around him that even private remarks can so often become a public controversy so quickly. i think it is also just worth mentioning that it has probably come to light because he will be representing the queen in kigali at the commonwealth

heads of government meeting. polly mackenzie there for us. president biden has announced that the leaders of 20 countries attending the americas summit in los angeles have endorsed a plan to address mass migration. the us has seen record numbers of people reaching its border with mexico every month. speaking on the final day of the summit, mr biden said that the declaration outlines specific measures to address the phenomenon. with this declaration, we are transforming our approach to managing migration in the americas. each of us — each of us — is signing up to commitments that recognise the challenges we all share and the responsibility that impacts on all of our nations. let's speak to our north america correspondent david willis. talk us through what has been agreed, david.— agreed, david. well, this declaration _ agreed, david. well, this declaration reflects - agreed, david. well, this declaration reflects the i agreed, david. well, this - declaration reflects the biden administration's support for legal migration and its

opposition to illegal migration and it concludes measures designed to make legal migration into this country more orderly and much more refined, if you like, much more orderly, and it seeks to spread the burden for combating the problems of illegal migration more evenly amongst countries that are neighbouring to the united states. now, president biden has said that this will be an historic commitment, it will transform, as he put it, the management of migration in the management of migration in the americas but while it allows the biden administration, undoubtedly, to claim that something substantive did come out of this summit of the americas, experts are saying that a lot of the language is rather woolly and vague, that we have seen these sort of measures suggested in the past and that there is really very little new here. . ., ,., there is really very little new here. . .,

they actually have not recorded any official cases. and that's not to say they do not exist, but they say it is more a case that they cannot do any testing there because the russians are not allowing people in and out. this is a city where it is very hard to get any information from — communications are poor — but earlier today, we were able to speak to one ukrainian woman, anastasia. she said that her mum managed to flee a week ago and left behind a city where the corpses are not being buried, where rubbish is piling up in the streets, as the temperature rises as we go further into the summer, where there are very few medical supplies, where sewage is mixing with drinking water, and any rations that the russian soldiers are giving out are simply said to be not sufficient. so, tonight, russia may well control the city of mariupol but it stands accused of failing to provide the very basic services to the very people it says it has gone in to liberate. you're watching bbc news. the headlines: the row over british

plans to send migrants to rwanda heats up. the high court gives the go—ahead but the uk's future king is reportedly not so keen. ukrainian officials are warning of the risk of cholera and other infectious diseases in the russian—occupied city of mariupol. president biden has warned that the forces behind the deadly insurrection at the us capitol last year remain a threat to democracy. his remarks came after an explosive congressional hearing where the former president donald trump was blamed for an attempted coup which sparked the violence at the capitol in january last year. our north america editor sarah smith's report contains some strong language. we have a breach of the capitol! never—before—seen footage of rioters storming the capitol was designed to shock. because you'll never take back our country with weakness. you have to show strength and you have to be strong. cheering and applause.

as the committee promised to demonstrate, donald trump deliberately orchestrated this attack. president trump summoned the mob, assembled the mob and lit the flame of this attack. i mean, i saw friends with blood all over their faces. i was slipping in people's blood. all chant: usa! usa! the first police officer to be injured in the attack described the sheer scale of the violence. what i saw was just a war scene. it was carnage. it was chaos. all chant: hang mike pence! hang mike pence! as the crowd chanted "hang mike pence," the vice president, the committee says trump agreed with them — mike pence, quote, "deserves it". donald trump has denied ever thinking or saying hang mike pence, and on his social media channel says: the committee will produce more

evidence over the next couple of weeks that they hope will convince people donald trump conspired — illegally — to try and overturn the election. but they can't actually bring criminal charges against him — they're trying to convict him in the court of public opinion. president biden calls the january sixth attack a "brutal assault on democracy". it's important the american people understand what truly happened and to understand that the same forces that led january sixth remain at work today. testimony from committee witnesses was used to show that trump knew the election was not stolen. i did not agree with the idea of saying the election was stolen and putting out this stuff, which i told the president was bleep. even his daughter and senior adviser agreed. i respect attorney general barr, so i accepted what he was saying. it is an historic evening... the prime time broadcast commanded attention... it shows donald trump at the centre of a violent plot to overturn... ..but it may not convince an audience who have largely

made up their minds about who's to blame for the capitol attack. trump—supporting tv channels like fox refused to air the hearing live. the whole thing is insulting. in fact, it's deranged, and we're not playing along. five more hearings will provide more detail about what committee members say amounts to an attempted coup in america. sarah smith, bbc news, washington. well, earlier, ispoke to allan lichtman, a us presidential historian and distinguished professor of history at the american university in washington. i asked what he thought this inquiry could achieve? it would really matter if you change one person's opinion or at least reinforce his opinion. i'm talking about the attorney general merrick garland who nearly a year and a half afterjanuary 6th and even longer than that, after the beginning of trump's plot, does not seem to have moved to prosecute the leaders and that is what really matters. unless you hold trump

and his allies accountable, they are going to do the same thing over and over again, and perhaps next time succeed in destroying our democracy. in terms of moving the american people, your commentary is right. most people are hard baked in their views but if they only move 2%, 3%, 5% of voters that will make an enormous difference for the upcoming mid term elections, since there are a lot of closely contested us house elections that could turn on a point or two. you study these things, you have been looking at the rise of conspiracy theories. does it surprise you that so many millions of people still believe the election was stolen even though courts have looked into this, electoral officials have looked into this, even republicans admit it was not stolen — it's a lot of people who still believe that it was?

absolutely. there is something called the big lie which has been exploited by every authoritarian in the modern world. if you say something loudly and you say it often enough, people are going to come to believe it, particularly people who feel a bond with you, as many americans do with donald trump. the american people, at last some of them that support donald trump, they are not fact checkers, they have not looked into this and they believe their president. the other thing you have to understand is the role of social media, which tends to create these insular bubbles whereby algorithm social media reinforces their beliefs however erroneous. for example, there are a lot of people who believe the earth is flat and they are also caught in a bubble that reinforces that false belief and they come to be inert to any kind of contrary information. look, there are millions, tens of millions of americans who believe that the democratic party is run by satan to exploit young children, or who believe that our government is controlled by shape shifting reptiles.

it is just incredible what social media and the big lie can do. taking a step back on it, what you think the impact on democracy itself is? i mean, you could forgive people for thinking that there are always issues over us presidential elections. there have been debates so many times about whether they were fair or not. what impact does that have? you know, the conservatives are trying to change the subject. we should be talking about inflation, for example. inflation comes and goes and neither party really has an answer because it is driven by fundamental economic forces but once you lose your democracy, you are not going to get it back and i would stress to all of your viewers how close we came to losing our democracy.

it was due to just some incredible heroism and brilliance by some of the police defenders that they did not stop the counting and that they didn't either badly injure or even kill members of the house or senate. if they had stopped the count, there is nothing in the constitution to restore that. trump would have succeeded in throwing the election to the states, perhaps, where republicans have a majority. if mike pence had got in that car that he was asked to get into, who knows what would have happened. he might have been whisked away many miles not had a chance to preside over the counting of the vote. the other thing your viewers must understand, is january 6th was not as singular event. as the conservative republican liz cheney said, it was the culmination of a seven—point plan to destroy our democracy.

allan lichtman they�* re joining me allan lichtman they're joining me a little earlier. police in brazil say they've found apparently human remains in a river near where a british journalist was last seen in the amazon rainforest. the organic material is being sent for forensic analysis, along with blood found earlier on a suspect�*s boat. dom phillips and the brazilian indigenous expert bruno pereira were last spotted on sunday in the remote javari valley, one of the largest indigenous territories in brazil. the suspect, a fisherman, was arrested with illegal possession of ammunition shortly after the two men went missing. justin bieber has revealed why he's cancelled upcoming shows, explaining to fans that he's bee diagnosed with ramsay hunt syndrome and is partially paralysed. ramsay hunt syndrome often occurs from the same virus that causes chicken pox and shingles and can mimic stroke— like symptoms such as facial paralysis. here's whatjustin bieber had to say. as you can probably see from my face, i have this syndrome called...

ramsay hunt syndrome. and it is from this virus that attacks the nerve in my ear, in my facial nerves, and has caused my face to have paralysis. as you can see, this eye is not blinking. i can't smile on this side of my face. this nostril will not move. so there's full paralysis on this side of my face. i've been speaking to doctor and icu medical director dr andrew pastewski.

the big thing everybody thinks about when you have facial paralysis, when something is not moving, is everybody thinks about a stroke. and strokes can be devastating, especially atjustin's age, that is a big deal. but it is not what is actually happening with him. what he's happening is one of other two common causes of facial paralysis. one of the ones that everyone is familiar with is bell's palsy, which is caused by the herpes simplex virus, but what he has is ramsay hunt syndrome, which is caused by the same virus as chickenpox. and it is actually a reactivation of the virus from the chickenpox in his neural cells in the face, specifically the eighth cranial nerve that presents in a way where he has facial paralysis and one side of his face doesn't work, it also develops a rash which can be fairly painful, and also infectious, because the rash can pop and particles can infect other people. and it also presents with hearing issues, which for someone likejustin, is the real concern,

because as a singer, hearing isjust as important as smelling is to a cook. and how long can it last, these symptoms? so typically, this is resolved within 3—5 weeks. bell's palsy, which is the better—known entity, 95% of those cases resolve completely. however ramsay hunt is not as good as bell's palsy. the numbers are about 84—85% resolved completely, but there are people who will develop permanent hearing loss, and it is a known disability to have ramsay hunt syndrome with permanent hearing loss or facial paralysis. and can it be worse if you are particularly run down? he says in the video he thinks it's his body's way of telling him to slow down a bit, can it be affected by that sort of thing?

well, this should not happen in someone with a normal immune system. this is very similar to shingles, which is the second activation of chickenpox that most people, when they are elderly and immunocompromised, this is a similar entity where it should not happen in a normal person, and the fact that it happened to someone so young and in such decent shape does indicate he probably was very run down, working his body way too hard, and not able to have an immune system that could respond and fight this off, and it is probably evidence he was working too hard. that was dr andrew pastewski talking to me a little earlier. ecuador will play at the world cup finals in qatar later this year after football's world governing body, fifa, dismissed claims that they had fielded an ineligible player in south american qualifiers. the chilean football federation said they had proof that ecuadorian footballer byron castillo was actually born in colombia. they said that he used a false passport and birth certificate

to play for ecuador�*s national team. staying with the world cup, the line—up is almost complete. there are two spots still up for grabs and in the coming days we'll find out who'll be filling them. new zealand are due to take on costa rica, but first, peru face australia. and the peruvians are looking for some spiritual help, as the bbc�*s tim allman explains. chanting when it comes to world cup qualification, the shamans of lima are leaving nothing to chance. these ancient rituals involving flowers, plants, seashells and some football posters are aimed at bringing good fortune — both a mystical ceremony and a sort of spiritual team talk. translation: we have carried out a victory ceremony. -

there are 13 shamans because they play on 13june. we have foreseen peru passing to the next round. peru will be present in the qatar world cup because we have seen the people's joy. but the people are taking no chances, and nor are their pets. a special event with dogs decked out in the colours of the national team. if the shamans don't do the trick, this should seal the deal, surely. translation: we are excited peru will win, and this parade| will encourage them. with support both divine and canine, victory must be a formality. tim allman, bbc news. don't forget there is plenty more on all the stories we cover on our website, just go to bbc news. or you can get us on the app. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @lucyegrey. thanks very much for watching.

hello there. a bit like on friday, the weather this weekend is looking rather mixed. there will be some warm spells of sunshine, but there will be some blustery showers. most of those will be across the northern half of the uk once again. now, on friday, we had some torrential, thundery downpours pushing eastwards across scotland, quite a few showers for northern ireland, but further south, lots of sunshine. just look at that view across london, you could see for miles. if you are stepping out early in the morning, in the sunshine across england and wales, temperatures of 13—14 degrees. further north, though, there is more cloud, some wetter weather, particularly in the north—west of scotland. we've still got some very high pollen levels on saturday across england and wales. those levels are dropping a bit across northern england and north wales, perhaps because there will be a bit

more cloud around on saturday and maybe a few more showers, too, but further south, probably going to be dry. most of the showers coming in across northern ireland and scotland, some longer spells of rain in the north—west of scotland and windy in scotland with some gales in the far north of the country. and it may be a little bit cooler in scotland and northern ireland on saturday, but warm in the sunshine for england and wales. it will be breezy here, certainly some brisk winds blowing across trent bridge again on saturday for day two of the test match. should stay dry, really, through the rest of the match itself. those westerly winds tending to ease down. that's really because that low pressure is bringing the windier weather and most of the showers, but that's moving away as we head into sunday. so, it won't be as windy on sunday. there will be a scattering of lighter showers across scotland, northern ireland and perhaps the far north of england, but head further south across england and wales, more in the way of sunshine, not much cloud and with lighter winds. again, it will feel quite warm. temperatures this time, 21 degrees in london, perhaps 15 in the central belt of scotland. the start of next week sees one area of low pressure then moving away. another one coming in from the atlantic,

these weather fronts approaching the north—west, they will not give much if any rain on monday but we will see more cloud coming into scotland and northern ireland. the winds will be lighter across england and wales and we will see some spells of sunshine coming and going. temperatures not changing much, 16 to 22 degrees, but south—eastern parts of the uk could get very much warmer later next week.

this is bbc news. the headlines: the heir to the british throne, prince charles, is reported to have criticised the government's policy of sending some migrants to rwanda. the times newspaper says prince charles expressed his opposition in several private conversations. royal officials have refused to comment but didn't deny the story. london's high court has ruled that the first flight to take migrants arriving illegally in britain to rwanda can go ahead next week. thejudge dismissed campaigners' attempts to win an injunction to stop it. charities and a trade union had launched a challenge against the uk government's controversial plan. ukrainian officials are warning of the risks of an epidemic in the russian—occupied port of mariupol because of the poor humanitarian conditions there.

the city's mayor, who's now sought safety in
