government's asylum policy. and pop—starjustin bieber cancels a number of shows after being diagnosed with an illness that's partially paralysed his face. as you can see, this eye is not blinking. i can't smile on this side of my face. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. we begin in ukraine, where officials say their forces urgently need more supplies of ammunition. according to one regional governor, the fighting has become a war of artillery and the russian army is much more powerful. the us and nato are in the process of sending heavy armaments,

but say they need to be supplied at a pace that ukraine's forces can absorb safely. the battle for control of the key town of severodonetsk is shaping the war — with reports of street—to—street fighting. neither side has scored a knock out blow and much of the city has been reduced to rubble. nick beake reports from kyiv. the russian onslaught in the donbas region is relentless, bombarding ukrainian troops whose command now say they are outgunned, and rapidly running out of ammunition. the ukrainian governor of the luhansk province claimed they could hold on to the besieged city of several donetsk if western allies send them enough long—range artillery. meanwhile in the capital kyiv, president zelensky was welcoming the head of the european commission, and arguing the eu's future depending

letting ukraine into its ranks. all letting ukraine into its ranks. all of letting ukraine into its ranks. fill of europe is a target for russia. and ukraine isjust the of europe is a target for russia. and ukraine is just the first stage in this aggression. this is why a positive eu response to ukrainian application from a bishop can be a positive answer to the question of whether the european project has a future at all. the whether the european pro'ect has a future at an.— future at all. the commission's decision on _ future at all. the commission's decision on whether _ future at all. the commission's decision on whether to - future at all. the commission's - decision on whether to recommend kyiv�*s application is coming next week. kyiv's application is coming next week. ., ., ., ., ., week. you have done a lot in strengthening _ week. you have done a lot in strengthening the _ week. you have done a lot in strengthening the rule - week. you have done a lot in strengthening the rule of - week. you have done a lot in strengthening the rule of law week. you have done a lot in - strengthening the rule of law but there _ strengthening the rule of law but there still needs to be reforms implemented to fight corruption, for example _ implemented to fight corruption, for examle. ~ ., implemented to fight corruption, for examle. ~ . , , implemented to fight corruption, for examle. ~' . , , , example. ukraine is pinning its long-term _ example. ukraine is pinning its long-term hopes _ example. ukraine is pinning its long-term hopes on _ example. ukraine is pinning its long-term hopes on eu - example. ukraine is pinning its - long-term hopes on eu membership. long—term hopes on eu membership. but it says it is the quantity and speed of weapons coming from the west that will determine its immediate fate. nick beake, bbc news, kyiv. for more on why it's taking so long for western made weapons to reach the front line,

i spoke to retired colonel brendan kearney, military analyst and former chief of staff of us marine forces in europe. the united states, it has been publicly acknowledged, is sending high mobility artillery rocket systems, and that is going along with some of the other equipment, very sophisticated equipment, that is being provided by other countries in europe and our nato allies. the british, as an example, are sending the m to 70 which is a multiple rocket launcher system. again, very sophisticated, far exceeding anything the russians have in terms of capability, but unfortunately it requires training, it requires logistics training, and those are things that still need to be worked through to get those in the actual hands of those who need the systems. so, is that why it is taking so long to meet the ukrainian�*s request for

more help right now? is it because of this training that needs to be done before the artillery can be safely handled? m0. done before the artillery can be safely handled?— done before the artillery can be safely handled? no, training is one ofthe safely handled? no, training is one of the big issues _ safely handled? no, training is one of the big issues but _ safely handled? no, training is one of the big issues but the _ safely handled? no, training is one of the big issues but the word - safely handled? no, training is one| of the big issues but the word about this has been going on, as been publicly acknowledged for a number of week, if not a month now, and as an example, this system, takes about three weeks to take a basic artillery meant, someone who has already been trained in using artillery to learn the more sophisticated aspects of the —— of this particular system. hopefully, that has been going on, and i would think it is taking place outside ukraine. then it becomes a question of getting that trained crewmen married up with the weapon systems and the ammunition, and that means the equipment and ammo has to get from where ever to stash whatever it is in europe for example to the

polish border and across to ukraine, and that becomes a strictly ukrainian problem of moving it from western ukraine to eastern ukraine where it can be effective in the donbas. ., ., ., donbas. you are painting a good icture donbas. you are painting a good picture there _ donbas. you are painting a good picture there of— donbas. you are painting a good picture there of how _ donbas. you are painting a good picture there of how long - donbas. you are painting a good picture there of how long it - donbas. you are painting a good| picture there of how long it takes and just how difficult it is to move these weapons to where they are needed. you have mentioned this is quite sophisticated weaponry, but is it enough for the ukrainians to be able to hold off a russian attack? i think this is one of those cases where the quality of the western contributions, in terms of the rocket systems, the artillery systems, can, overa period of rocket systems, the artillery systems, can, over a period of time, more than offset the technological and —— the technologically inferior russia equipment. the russians are using the old cold war eire soviet equipment, some of it is 30 years old. we are providing very sophisticated, very much computer

intensive, gps aided systems that are much more efficient than the russians have. but we still have to get it there, we have to get it into the hands of the ukrainians and the ukrainians have to employ it. so, it may be touch and go over the coming days for the ukrainians.— days for the ukrainians. brandon carne is days for the ukrainians. brandon carney is former _ days for the ukrainians. brandon carney is former chief _ days for the ukrainians. brandon carney is former chief of - days for the ukrainians. brandon carney is former chief of staff. . demonstrations are taking place across the united states calling for tougher gun control. it follows the recent mass shooting at an elementary school in uvalde in texas, where 19 children and two teachers were killed. 0ur correspondent barbara plett usher is in washington. the theme of these rallies is this time it will be different, this time there will be action on gun control. but i have to say, a bit earlier, it didn't feel like it was different at all. people around me started to run in panic. it's not clear why, it seems maybe somebody pulled a stunt, pretending to carry out some kind of attack. but whatever the case, it really shows you how much

fear people live with, how much this is a reality for them and that's why they're marching, not only here in washington but around the country, demanding congress act to have restrictions on gun ownership, despite opposition from the gun lobby and despite the opposition from republican politicians. certainly the series of mass shootings in recent weeks has refocused national attention on this and there is a small effort in congress, senators from both parties trying to come up with a modest proposal, a compromise that might pass. nothing close to what the people here are demanding, but perhaps that would break the paralysis and certainly these activists will continue to push for greater change. royal officials in britain have insisted that prince charles remains politically neutral, following a report that he has strongly criticised government plans to send some asylum seekers to rwanda in central africa. 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. 0ur royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. as prince of wales, his interventions over the years have led to accusations of meddling. charles is now moving ever closer to the throne so this morning's headlines suggesting he's taken a stand on the highly sensitive political issue of the government's refugee policy are potentially problematic. 10,000 migrants have arrived in britain in small boats so far this year. the prince is said to have described the government's plan to send some to rwanda as appalling. charles' comments are said to have been made in private conversations, they haven't been denied. the timing of the alleged remarks is particularly sensitive. yesterday, the high court refused

to grant an injunction barring the first deportations, which are due to take place on tuesday. those opposed to the policy applauded the prince's alleged comments. we very much welcome what prince charles seems to have said. this policy is wrong, we believe it's unlawful and is morally indefensible. the home secretary has set great store by the deportation policy. she launched in rwanda earlier this year. the government says it will act as a deterrent. conservatives say charles' alleged comments are misguided. he is entitled to his view, as is anyone else. but the number of views that have been made about rwanda seem to be on the basis of a lack of information about what this programme and what migrants' experience has been like in rwanda. and what of charles? clarence house says he's politically neutral. four years ago he was asked if his tendency to intervene would continue when he was king?

no, it won't. i'm not that stupid. i do realise it is a separate exercise being sovereign. in ten days, charles will be in rwanda to represent the queen at the commonwealth heads of government conference. the prime minister will also be there. it promises to be an interesting conversation. nicholas witchell, bbc news. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's karthi. we'll start with football because there are international games being played in the nations league with the pick of them being a repeat of last year's euro 2020 final which saw italy beat england on penalties. the game is being officially played behind closed doors at molineux — although 3,000 fans who are mainly schoolchildren are inside the stadium as part of the punishment handed down to the english football association for the crowd trouble that marred the euro final at wembley last year. it is 0—0 at the moment.

also today wales are playing belgium who have a 1—0 lead. youri thielemens with the goalfor belgium. and earlier the republic of ireland beat scotland 3—0. formula one to start and charles lecler has yet again taken pole position with a thrilling final lap at the azerbeijgan grand prix. it's the ferrari driver's sixth pole in eight races. lecler beat red bull's sergio perez by 0.282 seconds with championship leader, max verstappen starting in third. this one i probably did not expect it because i thought red bull was stronger, especially in 01 and q2 it because i thought red bull was stronger, especially in 01 and 02 i struggled to see we were faster but in the last lap, everything came together and i managed to do a good lap so i am extremely happy. irate together and i managed to do a good lap so i am extremely happy. we had a little issue — lap so i am extremely happy. we had a little issue with _ lap so i am extremely happy. we had a little issue with a _ lap so i am extremely happy. we had a little issue with a refuelling - lap so i am extremely happy. we had a little issue with a refuelling and - a little issue with a refuelling and that meant we were out of sequence

it's his first tour—level final on grass in six years. the three—time major winner beat nick kyrgios in straight sets to move to within one win of a first atp tour title in three years. sunday's final will be murray's first final on grass since winning wimbledon for a second time in 2016. france's cassandre beaugrand won the women's world triathlon championship series race in leeds. it was quite an achievement for beaugrand who had served a 10 second penalty for an earlier error in the cycling transition. but an impressive run saw her hold off the british duo of georgia taylor—brown and sophie coldwell to secure the win and prompt emotional celebrations. hayden wilde of new zealand took first place in the men's race but that was only after he was involved in a cycling crash with home favourite jonny brownlee and defending champion alex yee. wilde apologised for his involvement. i was part of that collision, which

was actually probably my fault. i really want to apologise to johnny and alex and my team—mates who i collided two in a little bit, there was a lot of speed going through there and we caught that and the guys went down behind me. i want to apologise to those boys quickly. i feel really gutted, to be honest. i knowjohnny was pretty mad on the side, he gave me some words but that is fair enough. side, he gave me some words but that is fair enough-— is fair enough. that's all for us for nova _ nine people have been arrested in china after a video of a brutal attack by a group of men on a woman who spurned an advance went viral. the incident happened in the city of tangshan in northern china. it started after a man put his hand on a woman's back in a restaurant and she pushed him away. 0ur china media analyst, kerry allen has more about the case.

surveillance footage was filmed in a restaurant and this footage shows a group of women in a restaurantjust enjoying a meal, minding their own business, and a man approaches one of these women and starts touching her and she is clearly uncomfortable as she tries to put him off several times, and then what happens, within a matter of seconds, the whole incident suddenly turns violent so the man starts throwing punches at one of the women, her friend rushes to defend her, and then itjust, this whole incident spirals out of control, these women are wrestled to the ground, juicy men throwing chairs at them. and there is footage outside the restaurant which shows one of the women being grabbed by her hair, along the straight and repeatedly kicked while she is down. this footage, which was found in the early hours of friday has horrified social media users, it has been am slowly erupting online and people are so angry about this because the

scale of violence that it shows is just horrific. scale of violence that it shows is just horrific-— just horrific. from what you describe. — just horrific. from what you describe, that _ just horrific. from what you describe, that is _ just horrific. from what you describe, that is almost - just horrific. from what you - describe, that is almost unthinkable that that would happen in a restaurant. but of course women all around the world are familiar with harassment so this is not something that only happens in china, but what conversations are people that having about the culture around this? indeed, it is not something only that happens in china, and people are amazed that this is not a woman who was alone, she wasn't scantily clad, she was minding her own business, she was in a public space with friends, and for this to happen isjust with friends, and for this to happen is just horrific. yeah, with friends, and for this to happen isjust horrific. yeah, there is a lot of fear about this but also people are very strongly reacting online, on different platforms, and saying that it is a very chinese thing for nobody to rush in and intervene because historically, before domestic violence laws were

introduced in 2016, it was very much the case that people thought that this kind of behaviour was acceptable, it was a private matter between a man and a woman, and also there is a fear in china of people being implicated in crimes, so the idea that anybody would rush in, this doesn't often happen. and i remember myself when i was living in china ten years ago, i would see incidents like this of men assaulting women on the street and you would just see crowds of bystanders not intervening whatsoever, just stood there, watching. whatsoever, 'ust stood there, watchinu. ., , ., whatsoever, 'ust stood there, watchin. . , ., , whatsoever, 'ust stood there, watchin.. . , . , . watching. that is an interesting and sad oint watching. that is an interesting and sad point you _ watching. that is an interesting and sad point you make _ watching. that is an interesting and sad point you make about _ watching. that is an interesting and sad point you make about feeling i sad point you make about feeling that people cannot intervene. has any action being taken against these perpetrators?— perpetrators? there has, yes, straightaway _ perpetrators? there has, yes, straightaway it _ perpetrators? there has, yes, straightaway it was _ perpetrators? there has, yes, j straightaway it was announced perpetrators? there has, yes, i straightaway it was announced by perpetrators? there has, yes, - straightaway it was announced by the police that two of the suspect involved in this case, because it was a large group of men that started attacking these women all of a sudden, and they were arrested immediately, and taken into

detention. today, there have been nine people who have been detained as a whole. so there is the thought that they will be some accountability at the back of this. the scale of anger has even attracted stars within the country to say that they completely contain this incident, it is dominating social media because so many prolific big celebrities in china are adding their view that this is absolutely not acceptable whatsoever. brazilian police have found possible human remains in their search for uk journalist dom phillips and bruno pereira, an expert on indigenous peoples. the pair disappeared six days ago while travelling through the amazon rainforest. police say experts will analyse the material that's been found, as well as blood traces that were discovered on a fishing boat. katy watson reports. dom phillips and bruno pereira are experts in their field. 0ne, an established journalist writing a book on saving the amazon — it was the reason for taking this trip.

his travel companion, a renowned expert on indigenous affairs. bruno knows these communities well but also has his enemies and had been threatened in the past for his work in trying to protect communities from illegal mining and fishing. on friday, there was a significant breakthrough, materialfound in the river not far from here that could be human remains. the authorities are also examining traces of blood on the boat belonging to a suspect and police have visited the families of the missing men to collect dna samples. hope might be fading, but the families are doing everything they can to find their loved ones. today we joined the military teams to the main search area, deep in the javari valley. its sheer beauty masks the conflict found in these forests and it was along these rivers the two men were threatened again just before they disappeared. this is an area of the amazon where there's so little state

presence and everybody involved in the search is having to be flown in. the news of the missing pair has gained worldwide attention. we urge brazilian authorities to redouble their efforts to find philips and pereira, with time of the essence in view of the real risks to their life and security. it is therefore crucial that the authorities at the federal and local levels react robustly and expeditiously. that's a call that has been echoed by mr phillips�* sister in london. she called for an in—depth and open investigation into what's happened. katy watson, bbc news, in valle dojavari. justin bieber has revealed he has a health condition that has left his face partially paralysed. the 28—year—old canadian singer told fans on instagram that he has ramsay hunt syndrome, which has forced him to cancel tour dates. 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. dr charles nduki specialises in facial paralysis, here he is on what causes ramsay hunt syndrome.

it is the same virus that causes chickenpox and shingles. it attacks the facial nerve and causes the muscles of the face to become paralysed, amongst other symptoms and in ramsay hunt syndrome, that is right. they will either be under a lot of physical strength or sometimes even emotional stress that can cause people to be run down, the immune systems becomes suppressed and they get their reactivation of the virus. i'v e i've watched his video and i'm not going to lie, i shed a couple of tears, like, i've never... i never thought that i would relate to someone so much that i didn't know. it is hard to think of someone else thing —— going through something that you are going through.

0bviously, justin bieber, everyone has heard ofjustin bieber, he is a huge celebrity. and i also felt so proud that he was spreading awareness of ramsay hunt syndrome, so it was heart—warming that he was spreading awareness but also heartbreaking that he was going through it. it made me remember when ifirst developed ramsay through it. it made me remember when i first developed ramsay hunt how i had to take my ike closed at night, —— take my ike closed, because when your eye is not able to blink for itself, it doesn't get lubricated, so having to use lubricants to keep your eye dry, prevent it from being dry, it is, although it was 20 months ago, it felt like yesterday, just bringing it back, and seeing

scotland and northern ireland but it is unusual to get strong winds at this time of year. we sell gas in excess of 55 mph in one or two spots in the rain was fairly persistent, particularly through western scotland, quite showery, as it moves through the borders and northern ireland. the rest of the sunshine was to the south—east but the story will quieten down as we go through the night. the low pressure is going to start to pull away, the isobars will gradually start to open up and the winds eased down as well. they will still be a few scattered showers, chiefly to the north—west of scotland and across that north close to of northern ireland but elsewhere we keep clear skies. temperatures will hold up, double figures quite widely, so not a cold start by any means. warm and sunny first thing on sunday morning, and as we go through the day, the temperatures are going to climb. we will continue to see a few scattered showers moving in scotland, northern ireland, may be into north—west

england, some of those drifting in land, but would lighter winds than yesterday. the best of the drier, settled weather in the south—east where we will see top temperatures of 20 degrees, it comes at a bit of a price because if you are a hay fever sufferer, the grass pollen levels reached in its peach —— its peach and pollen levels continue to be very high indeed. as we move through the week ahead, high pressure is going to dominate. still the risk of a queue showers from that frontal system that floats across the top of the high but as the high pressure becomes a bit more established, we started tap into some pretty warm air that we have seen recently across spain and portugal so the temperatures are set to climb. this could be the first widespread warmth we have seen this summer, temperatures in leeds getting as high as 26 degrees.

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 member 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 migrants' 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. thousands of protesters gather across the us, to call for stricter gun laws, in the wake of last month's mass shooting at a school in texas.
