this is bbc news. the headlines at six: prince charles is reported to have described the government's rwanda asylum scheme as "appalling". one conservative mp says more understanding of the policy is required. he is entitled to his view, as is anyone else. but a number of the views that have been made about rwanda seem to be on the basis of a lack of information about what this programme and what migrant experience has been like. police in brazil searching for a missing britishjournalist say they've found possible human remains in a river. the family of a shaun pinner — a british man sentenced to death forfighting russian forces — say he should be given all the rights of a prisoner of war, including full independent legal representation. the government is expected to reject proposals to introduce a new salt

and sugar tax on processed food sold in england. a father and son have been killed in a crash at the isle of man tt. five riders have died in this year's event as you can see, this eye is not blinking. and singerjustin bieber reveals the reason he cancelled his performances this week — he's experiencing facial paralysis. good afternoon. royal officials have said that prince charles "remains politically neutral", following a report that he has strongly criticised plans to send some asylum seekers to rwanda. an unnamed source told the times newspaper that prince charles has described the policy as "appalling"

and said he was "more than disappointed" by it. the first flight carrying asylum seekers to rwanda is due to leave on tuesday. campaigners against the government's policy say they will now take their fight to the court of appeal on monday. simonjones reports. their destination, dover. more than 10,000 migrants have reached the uk in small boats so far this year. the government says it is determined to stop people risking their lives crossing the channel and to tackle the people smugglers who are dangerously overloading the boats. its big idea, to send some asylum seekers to rwanda to act as a deterrent. the first flight is scheduled for tuesday. but now prince charles has reportedly described the policy as appalling. according to the times, in private conversations he said he was unimpressed with the government's direction of travel, and said he feared it could overshadow a commonwealth heads of state meeting in rwanda in ten days.

this is one of the hotel is preparing for uk arrivals. the british government insists rwanda is a safe country. clarence house wouldn't comment on supposedly anonymous private conversations except to restate that the prince of wales remains politically neutral and matters of policy for government. but it has proved controversial. the archbishop of canterbury said it would not stand the judgment of god, and the un said it would be illegal. but the mp for dover told me that despite the criticism, the government is doing the right thing. what you make of the comments apparently made by prince charles? he is entitled to his view, as is anyone else, but a number of comments made on rwanda seem to be on the basis of a lack of information about what this programme and the experience has been like in rwanda. the home secretary herself travelled to rwanda in april to announce the plan. campaigners failed in an initial legal bid to ground to ground the first flight yesterday,

but they will seek a full judicial review next month. we very much welcome what prince charles seems to have said. this policy is wrong. we believe it is unlawful and morally indefensible. the government describes its partnership with rwanda as world leading. people sent there will be given support. but the opposition has been loud and is now reportedly coming from some unexpected quarters. simon jones, bbc news. matt dathan, who wrote the times story, told me why he thought the prince's views had emerged at this stage. i think what will be the most uncomfortable for clarence house is the fact that he is due to travel to rwanda later this month to represent the queen at the commonwealth heads of government meeting, and i think it will be an awkward... it is awkward, i think, that this is coming... these private views are being published in a newspaper, are now known to be public.

i think that was really part of the reason why he has expressed his dissatisfaction about policy to people in private, because of his very public role later this month. i mean, he has been in the past, as we all know, accused of meddling in politics. 2015, he had to defend writing letters to government ministers, the so—called black spider memos. but at the same time, he is in a slightly different position, isn't he, as heir to the throne? and he has made it clear that when he becomes king, he will be rather more careful about what he says or is heard to say. yeah, and i think that's why maybe you will find the fact that his private views have been made public slightly uncomfortable. but i think there is a difference here. he wasn't... there is no suggestion that we have that he was trying to influence government policy in the same way that perhaps he was in the past with his black spider memos, writing to tony blair and other

ministers on all kinds of topics, from herbal medicine, to badger culls, to even equipment for soldiers in iraq. police in brazil searching for a missing britishjournalist and his travelling companion say they've found what may be human remains, in a river close to where the men were last seen. dom phillips and bruno pereira went missing in the amazon rainforest last weekend. 0ur south america correspondent katy watson has sent this report. dom phillips and bruno pereira are experts in their field, one an established journalist writing a book on saving the amazon. his travel companion, a renowned expert on indigenous affairs, a man who knows these communities well. but also has his enemies, and had been threatened in the past for his work in trying to denounce illegal mining and fishing. it was on this river they were threatened again in the days leading up

to their disappearance. on friday, there was a significant yet devastating breakthrough. materialfound in the river that could be human remains. not far from the area that dom phillips and bruno pereira were last seen. it will now be sent to the city nearby for forensic analysis. currently authorities are also examining traces of blood on a boat belonging to a suspect, a local fisherman. translation: since last sunday we had information that two - citizens, one british, dom phillips, and brazilian, bruno pereira, disappeared in the valley. from that moment on, our military forces have started a search to find those people. we ask god that they may be found alive. the news of the missing pair has gained worldwide attention. celebrities and footballers, including pele, have called for the government to step up to find the men.

we urge brazilian authorities to redouble their efforts to find phillips and pereira. with time of the essence in view of the real risks to their lives and security, it is therefore crucial that the authorities at federal and local levels react robustly and expeditiously, including by fully deploying available means and necessary specialised resources to effectively search over the remote area in question. that is a call that has been echoed by mr phillips' sister in london. she called for an in—depth and open investigation into what has happened. katy watson, bbc news. just want to take you to the united states. thousands of people are gathering across the us in support of tighter gun control laws. these are live images from the march in new york. there are rallies and marches right across the country. of course, they follow the horrific shootings at the

uvalde elementary school that killed 19 children and two teachers, and also in new york at the supermarket that left ten black people dead, as well. this is an organisation called march for our lives which has organised these demonstrations across the country. they have said, after countless mass shootings and instances of gun violence in our communities, it is time to take back to the streets, demonstrate to our elected officials that we deserve a nation free of gun violence. that organisation was founded by survivors of a shooting at a high school in parkland, florida, in 2018. this isjust one of several marches across the country calling for gun control. of course, as we all know, the chances of meaningful gun control change and

reform very unlikely. it is such a politically toxic issue in the united states and very difficult to get bipartisan agreement. but demonstrations against gun violence and calling for more gun control continuing today right across america. the number of people testing positive for covid in scotland rose last week, according to the latest figures. data from the office of national statistics estimated that about one in a0 people had the virus — an increase from one in 50 the week before. earlier i spoke to scotland's national clinical directorjason leitch, who explained the reasons behind the rise. roughly speaking, everybody has reached a lower level plateau, and just beginning to creep up again. it is a mixture of things, ben, it is pretty predictable now, you know this disease just as well as the rest of the country has got to know it. it is mixing, of course,

we are back, we are back to festivals, we are back to theatres, we are back to work, but also we have got some nasty variants, some variants from 0micron, the same basic shape as 0micron, but they are good at transmission. a little bit better at transmission. the vaccines still work, and the illness is still mild in the vast majority of people, but there is definitelyjust a little movement in the numbers. you talked about the variants there. can you just be a bit more specific? what do you think is the variant that is causing the slight uptick? well, it is still 0micron. if you remember, we have had four big variants in 2a months. we have had the wild type, the wuhan one, then we had alpha, delta, and now we have 0micron. 0micron is giving us variants of itself, unlike the other ones. so we have now got... it gets a little bit complicated with the letters and the numbers. so we have got ba1, 2, 4 and 5. and 4 and 5 appear to be a little bit more be a little

bit more transmissible than 1 and 2, which is what we had as the basis for our last wave. it is not anything to panic about, it is not escaping the vaccine, it is not different in terms of its fundamental core disease, but it likes to transmit, so it is finding vulnerable people and it manages to bridge that gap. so the same things apply. we are in control here, we can get vaccinated, we can stay off work if we are ill, and if we are an employer, we can make that easier, so we can allow people to be off work if they have got an infection. you say hitting vulnerable people, people need to get vaccinated, of course, what is the vaccination picture in scotland in terms of those who still have not been vaccinated or who have not had the booster? it is really, really good, the numbers are really high, but they are not at 100%. i mean, i never expected to get to 100%. i looked yesterday, and the first dose over 12s is nine out of ten. when you get down to third,

fourth doses, it goes to about eight out of ten, sometimes 8.5 out of ten. the boosters for the over 75s, those with underlying conditions are way up at 88%. there is a few stragglers still getting envelopes through the mail, still coming. so if you have not had one, two, three, four, i don't care if you have not had it, you should come. and you look on websites for wherever you live, whether you live in bristol or manchester or elgin in scotland, we will want to vaccinate you. and we will be in touch in the autumn about the next round of vaccinations to protect the population. a father and son have been killed in a crash during the isle of man tt. roger stockton and his son bradley, both from crewe, died during the final lap of the second sidecar race. in a statement, organisers said it was "with a deep sense of sorrow" that they could confirm both racers had been killed.

alex wotton reports. well, roger, who was 56, and his 21—year—old son were racing together for the first time at this year's tt, and on monday they recorded an eighth place finish. however, sadly the news came in yesterday that they both tragically died in a crash on the second and final lap of the sidecar race. it happened at the bottom of bray hill, an area known as ago's leap, roughly a mile into the 37 mile course. 0rganisers confirmed that the father and son from crewe had passed away with their deepest sorrow and passed on condolences to family, loved ones and friends. now, a family member has since paid tribute to them both on social media, saying heartbroken doesn't even begin to describe how the family are feeling right now to lose not one but two loved ones at the same time. they said it was their absolute passion to be racing, and it was their dream to be racing together at the tt. and their eighth place earlier this

week was a very proud moment for them all. these two latest deaths to bring the total number of people that have died during this tt�*s event to five. the family of shaun pinner — one of the britons sentenced to death for fighting russian forces in ukraine — have released a statement. shaun pinner is on the right of this image. the statement says: "as a ukrainian resident for over four years and contracted serving marine in the 36th brigade, of which he is very proud, shaun should be accorded all the rights of a prisoner of war according to the geneva convention, including full independent legal representation." the statement went on to call on all parties to ensure the safe release or exchange of shaun. three people have been charged with the murder of a man whose body was found in woodland in buckinghamshire in 2019.

mohammed shah subhani had been reported missing eight months earlier. the three are due to appear in court today. the headlines on bbc news: prince charles is reported to have described the government's rwanda asylum scheme as �*appalling' — but supporters say more understanding of the policy is required. police in brazil searching for a missing britishjournalist say they've found possible human remains in a river. the family of a shaun pinner — a british man sentenced to death forfighting russian forces — say he should be given all the rights of a prisoner of war, including full independent legal representation. campaign groups have accused the government of failing to deliver on its promise of a new food strategy for england. a leak of of its plans suggests there will be no new tax on salt and sugar in processed foods. 0ur political reporter

tony bonsignore has more details. the environmental impact of intensive farming methods, and the role of low—cost processed foods in contributing to obesity have all become hot political topics in recent years. in 2018, the government commissioned a major review into the whole food chain, from field to fork. the subsequent report recommended a tax on sugar and salt, reducing meat and dairy consumption and expanding free school meals. but a leaked copy of the government's long—awaited response suggests many of those recommendations won't be accepted. the white paper instead talks more generally about initiatives to boost health sustainability and accessibility of diets, and on food prices, the government simply says it will engage closely with the food industry to understand price impacts. one of the few new practical suggestions as to increase the use

of responsibly sourced wild venison. all this will come as a disappointment to campaigners who have called for tougher measures to reduce meat and dairy consumption, and to tackle obesity. it wasn't all bad. we are pleased to see a framework in there which will help the transition to nature friendly farming, but we do need government intervention in diet. we need to change the way that we eat. we need the government to be proposing changes to public procurement policy, to support more sustainable dietary patterns in schools and hospitals. we need them to introduce the salt and sugar tax, to change the way the products are manufactured and how they are sold, and we need an overarching ambition that we get to the sustainable diet within this decade, because the clock is ticking and time is running out. the government is expected to say its plans will create a food system aimed at maintaining and increasing production levels. there will be much for mps to digest when they get the final next week.

the cabinet office minister heather wheeler has apologised after describing birmingham and blackpool as �*godawful�* places. the conservative mp made the remark at a conference in london as she launched the government's new digital strategy. she apologised for any offence cause and said it didn't reflect her actual views. sir lindsay hoyle, the speaker of the house of commons, is planning to make the house of commons a "menopause—friendly" employer. possible changes to help women could include better ventilated rooms and fans, and more flexible working. the speaker says he wants to "break the taboo" about the menopause — and he's set to sign a pledge that commits the commons to recognising and supporting female employees who are going through it. the labour mp carolyn harris chairs the all—party parliamentary group on menopause. she told me she welcomed the move. i am delighted that

sir lindsay is doing this. he is a man who surrounded by women all day, not only in the chamber but in his own office, he has promoted women to very senior positions. he would not want anyone to have to give up work because of the menopause, but that is sadly what happens, women all over the world are having to give up work because they struggle through the menopause, and there is never any allowances made for them in the workplace. so sir lindsay is leading by example and saying to employers everywhere it is really important to keep women in work and by making very small adjustments, this is what the menopause pledge that he is signing does, then he is giving women right across the country encouragement that there is hope that other employers will follow. that is the point, really. i suppose the house of commons is not really a typical employer in many ways. so we are talking about what factories, businesses,

offices up and down the land can do about this. can you give us a few indications of what more they could be doing to help? there is no company that cannot make any reasonable adjustment to accommodate menopausal women. we are not talking about huge changes, we are talking about minimal changes. those changes, things like having a fan, things like having the window open, things like making sure a uniform is airy and women can breathe in it, understanding that women need extra toilet breaks, literally there is no work environment that cannot do this. by doing it, they will keep valuable women in the workforce. the menopause affects every social policy area. i could talk to you for days about the damage it could do to society if it is not... if we do not do the appropriate thing is to keep women, give them the right treatment, get them the right diagnosis, get them the right medication. if they are on the right path, then the menopause can be an experience they will survive and come out the other end much stronger people. i talked in the introduction

about breaking the taboo. is part of this that we just need to talk about the menopause a lot more? as we are doing now in a way. we are beginning to talk about periods, but now we talk about periods, we are getting there by talking about the menopause. but until it is a mainstream conversation, tell everybody is talking about the menopause, that is how women are discovering the menopause, by talking about it to other women. there is a huge lack of knowledge within the medical profession about what the menopause actually is, and women are self diagnosing, and then trying to get medication. the whole environment around the menopause needs changing. but monday is menopause monday in parliament, that is what i have dubbed it, we have events all day culminating in the evening with the speaker signing the well—being of women menopause pledge. just briefly, the sort of changes you have been talking about in the workplace, is something that needs to be forced through by legislation or are we talking about a kind

of voluntary code where employers just do this off of their own backs? at one time, i would have said yes there should have been statutory legislation, but what i've learned from the work i have done talking to employers, it is that if something is statutory, it becomes standardised and a tick box. every women's menopause is different, every workplace is different, but a respectful employer will talk to their staff and put into place whatever is relevant to that individual. it needs to be organic and flexible, but we do need every workplace to have a framework on which to hang their policy or their guidelines, whatever they want to call it. respect women and do the right thing. the cost of living crisis is affecting many parts of the economy. but for people who are dependent on using their cars for work, the rocketing price of petrol is particularly difficult. this week the cost of filling up a typicalfamily car went above £100 for the first time. well, with fuel prices

as they are the number of fuel thefts from forecourts in england and wales has risen by 39% since january. that's come from a reserach group called forecourt eye — as our correspondent, simon browning explained. the £100 threshold has been particularly difficult for everybody across the board this week. forfamilies, £100, 55 litre car, that is the average now. and obviously for businesses, as well, for hgv companies, for everybody that is using fuel, it is making the cost of living crisis even worse. so today we have heard that there has been a 39% rise in petrol thefts from forecourts. that is from the start of the year right through to the end of may. the vast majority of that, 70% of people who are turning up in the petrol station, filling up their cars in the forecourt, and then presenting himself in front of a cashier and saying, "i have forgotten my wallet." and that is the main reason.

other people are coming into the petrol station, these are big centres of retail now with maybe supermarkets in there or pastry shops, bakeries, and they are actually forgetting to pay for theirfuel, or pretending to not be further fuelled by buying a couple of other items and then not declaring that they have got to pay for their fuel. others, the classic, simply filling up and driving off without paying for their fuel. now, all these figures have come from forecourt eye this week, as i said, who have seen a 39% rise in their membership. they represent 1000 petrol stations, or work with 1000 petrol stations around the country, and they are in effect so if you go into the petrol station and you have not paid, some of their technology will then trace your registration plate, even some facial recognition, and you will then receive a letter, effectively a summons and request for you to pay. so that is one of the organisations. another one, the british oil security syndicate, that has said it has seen an increase in unpaid fuel bills in petrol stations of 22%. that is just in the last week. that obviously comes at a time when we have seen record fuel prices, so it isjust an indication of the amount of people that are potentially struggling with those costs and are trying to abscond from making those payments.

i wonder whether those forecourts are going to try to tighten up security, or is there much more they can do? well, forecourt eye, who i have been speaking to today, they have their technology in operation in 1000 petrol stations, from the north of england right down to the south—west and into wales. they say they have a very good success rate in actually achieving that payment back from the people that they approach. generally, a lot of people do pay within four days, 60 to 70%. but there is an increase in crime of people who are trying to get away with not paying. so, yes, they are doing the best that they can and get about 60—70%, but as i say, there is an increasing number of people that are not paying, and that has been reflected, they say, because of the cost of living crisis and the soaring cost of petrol, which we know, market reasons, the russian invasion of ukraine has made supplies very tight, and at the moment, the pound at the dollar exchange rate is very weak, and it is making fuel which is traded in dollars very expensive here.

the singerjustin bieber has revealed he is suffering from facial paralysis after cancelling shows on his world tour earlier this week. in an instagram video, the pop star said he had ramsay hunt syndrome, which is caused when a virus, like shingles, affects the facial nerve near a person's ears. he said he doesn't know how long it will take to recover. 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 is full paralysis on the side of my face. so for those who are frustrated by my cancellations of the next shows, i am just physically obviously not capable of doing them. i will be using this time to just rest and relax and get back to 100% so that i can do what i was born to do.

in the meantime, this ain't it. now it's time for a look at the weather with louise lear. good evening. sunday is looking relatively straightforward in terms of the weather. the best of the sunshine will be in england and wales but there will be a few isolated showers further north and west, but more importantly lighter winds in comparison to saturday's weather. so, over the next two hours we still have the strong winds, driving in some showers over western scotland and the far north of northern ireland. clear skies elsewhere and a relatively mild start to sunday morning and that is where the best of the sunshine is likely to be first thing and generally through the day but even so, with lighter winds and fewer showers not everywhere in scotland and northern ireland will see some rain and with the sunnier moments coming through it will be a bit warmer than saturday. highs of 17 in the far north and 22

in the south—east corner. we do it all again as we move into monday, dry, setted and sunny, despite a few showers continuing into the far north—west. and again, those temperatures in the low 20s. enjoy.

hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... prince charles is reported to have described the government's rwanda asylum scheme as �*appalling' — one conservative mp says more understanding of the policy is required. he is entitled to his view, as is anyone else. but a number of the views that have been made about rwanda seem to be on the basis of a lack of information about what this programme and what migrant experience has been like. police in brazil searching for a missing britishjournalist say they've found possible human remains in a river. the family of shaun pinner — a british man sentenced to death forfighting russian forces — say he should be given all the rights of a prisoner of war, including full independent legal representation. the government is expected to reject proposals to introduce a new salt and sugar tax on process food sold in england.
