after nearly 50 years. hundreds of marches are being held all across the united states to try to pressure congress to reform gun laws. coming after a spate of mass shootings, the rallies are being organised by the group march for our lives. it says it's time to show politicians that americans demand and deserve to live free of gun violence. barbara plett usher reports. another march against gun violence, banging on the doors of the nation's capital. this is a movement powered by young people, demanding the country's leaders take action after yet another school shooting, a horrific massacre in new delhi, texas. iii horrific massacre in new delhi, texas. ., ., �* texas. if our government can't do anything — texas. if our government can't do anything to — texas. if our government can't do anything to stop _ texas. if our government can't do anything to stop 19 - texas. if our government can't do anything to stop 19 kids - do anything to stop 19 kids from being killed and slotted

gun restrictions at the state level but they want national action. do you feel that there is a bit of a momentum around this issue? i is a bit of a momentum around this issue?— this issue? i think so definitely _ this issue? i think so definitely for - this issue? i think so definitely for our - this issue? i think so - definitely for our generation. this is one of our biggest bushes because we are the ones dying in schools, in movie theatres. dying in schools, in movie theatres-— dying in schools, in movie theatres. h , ., , , theatres. it's been happening since before _ theatres. it's been happening since before i _ theatres. it's been happening since before i can _ theatres. it's been happening since before i can remember. something has to change. we cannot— something has to change. we cannot keep letting our children die like this. but even here, _ children die like this. but even here, a _ children die like this. but even here, a few - children die like this. flt even here, a few minutes of panic. there was a disruption on stage and people ran. the fear of a gun attack is live and everywhere. earlier this week, young survivor of the texas shooting described her terrifying experience to lawmakers. emotional testimonies from the families proper pain and horror to capitol hill. hours later, the house passed gun control legislation but republican senators will almost certainly reject it. some are working on a very modest compromise that may have a chance. the a very modest compromise that may have a chance.—

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 knockout 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 commanders 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 severodonetsk if western allies sent them enough long—range artillery. nice to meet you. meanwhile, in the capital kyiv, president zelensky was welcoming the head of the european commission and arguing the eu's future depended on letting ukraine into its ranks. translation: all of europe is a target for russia. - we are sure of it.

and ukraine is just the first stage in this aggression. this is why a positive eu response to the ukrainian application for membership can be a positive answer to the question of whether the european project has a future at all. the commission's decision on whether to recommend kyiv�*s eu application is coming next week. you have done a lot in strengthening the rule of law, but there still needs to be reforms implemented to fight corruption, for example. ukraine is pinning its long—term hopes on eu membership, but says it's the quantity and speed of weapons coming from the west that will determine its immediate fate. nick beake, bbc news, kyiv. we can now speak to bill roggio, who's a senior fellow at the foundation for defense of democracies and the editor of the long warjournal. hello to you. ukrainians are

saying they are outgunned and running out of ammunition. can the donations of weapons from abroad make up for the two differences, the differences between the two sides? that evenina. between the two sides? that evening- i — between the two sides? that evening. i don't _ between the two sides? that evening. i don't believe - between the two sides? twat evening. i don't believe that it can. ukrainians are saying they are outgunned the artillery by 10—15: one. they are outgunned the artillery by10—15: one. it will take a massive influx of western artillery, particularly the multiple wants rocket systems, things of that nature, and ifirst systems, things of that nature, and i first of all, the west is not willing to part with that much equipment and secondly, the ukrainians will have difficulty training on these more complicated systems and evenif more complicated systems and even if they are able to receive these systems, they need them now, not three weeks or a month from now. the other question is getting the munitions for them. the west is starting to deplete its own stockpiles of munitions so when you and all: ukraine. this stockpiles of munitions so when you and all: ukraine. figs! you and all: ukraine. as i understand _ you and all: ukraine. as i understand it, _ you and all: ukraine. as i understand it, it _ you and all: ukraine. as i understand it, it can - you and all: ukraine. as i understand it, it can take l you and all: ukraine. as i understand it, it can take many weeks to train people up on the

sophisticated weapons but i suppose that is the word, sophistication of these weapons, versus what the russians are using. just explain the difference in what the sides have access to. right now, the sides have access to. right now. both _ the sides have access to. right now, both sides _ the sides have access to. right now, both sides have - the sides have access to. right now, both sides have access i the sides have access to. rightj now, both sides have access to basically, you know, soviet era, by and large, soviet—era artillery systems. these could be unguided rocket systems, these could be artillery pieces, i am these could be artillery pieces, iam hearing reports on both sides tanks being used as artillery, so the more complicated systems like the multiple launch rocket system or hi marge, the ukrainians are getting them in small amounts and so when you deploy weapons systems like this piecemeal on the battlefield instead of en masse, it is only going to have effect on the margins so yeah, the ukrainians may get some advanced weapons systems, they will not get them, they will not get enough of them and they will have difficulty using them because of the training and

they are going to have difficulty resupplying them and then deploying them in any amount that matters on the battlefield.— amount that matters on the battlefield. and i understand it presumably— battlefield. and i understand it presumably takes - battlefield. and i understand it presumably takes a - battlefield. and i understand it presumably takes a long . battlefield. and i understand i it presumably takes a long time to get them from the west of the country where they tend to arrive, to the east where they are needed as well.— are needed as well. that's riiht. are needed as well. that's right- so _ are needed as well. that's right. so where _ are needed as well. that's right. so where do - are needed as well. that's right. so where do you - are needed as well. that's| right. so where do you see are needed as well. that's - right. so where do you see this iioin , right. so where do you see this going. then? — right. so where do you see this going, then? what _ right. so where do you see this going, then? what is _ right. so where do you see this going, then? what is your - going, then? what is your forecast? _ going, then? what is your forecast? look, _ going, then? what is your forecast? look, it's - going, then? what is your forecast? look, it's very l forecast? look, it's very difficult to forecast this war. it literally grim for the ukrainians at the beginning and they pulled it up like pulled out around kyiv and kharkiv but this war, notjust because the russians were not following the doctrine of basically massing their forces and pressing, doctrine of basically massing theirforces and pressing, they seem to be following this, now they have the numerical advantage in weapons and men, it's working for them. it's difficult— you know, the ukrainians have surprised everyone and if they are able to hold this front, but could take the russians but if they are unable, you know, we keep hearing about ukrainian victory and the potential for a

stalemate but what happens here if the russians actually breakthrough at severodonetsk and get to the more open plane where it is less defensible for the ukrainians? you could potentially see catastrophic defeat here in the east for the... three months but i was so things are not training well now. it's interesting, how surprised people have been by the effort from the ukrainian forces. , ., , . the effort from the ukrainian forces. , . , forces. do you expect people, think you _ forces. do you expect people, think you are _ forces. do you expect people, think you are implying - forces. do you expect people, j think you are implying before, people are getting i don't know what the word is tired but they don't want to keep donating. only concerned about their own supplies? only concerned about their own su--lies? ., . ., , ., supplies? particularly for the countries _ supplies? particularly for the countries that _ supplies? particularly for the countries that have - supplies? particularly for the i countries that have ammunition and weapons systems that the ukrainians currently use, the czechoslovakian and slovakian and polish, they have their own weapons standard and they are depleting their own stockpiles

and they are concerned about a potential russian advance, they have to look after their own security before they supplied to ukraine and the munitions of values, they are not manufactured anywhere in the west, they are manufactured by the russians. just about the eastern european countries losing their weapons systems, is also an issue in germany but has indicated that it wants to send weapons systems and some are not filled where the —— there is concern about the stockpiles, the united states have deplete for depleted one third of theirjavelins and one third of theirjavelins and one third of their stinger aircraft that it will become a concern for the west, you don't start up for the west, you don't start up weapons production particularly with high—technology weapons immediately, it doesn't happen. really interesting to get your thoughts, thank you very much. bill roggio. let's get some of the day's other news. a us districtjudge in las vegas has dismissed

a rape lawsuit against the international football star cristiano ronaldo after accusing the complainant's attorney of using leaked and stolen documents. kathryn mayorga claims the portuguese footballer assaulted her in las vegas in 2009, but the judge threw the case out, saying the woman's legal team had repeatedly used cyber—hacked confidential documents. ronaldo denies the accusations made against him. china has told the united states to stop "provoking disputes" after the defence secretary lloyd austin criticised what he called beijing's aggressive approach to its territorial claims. beijing regards taiwan as part of chinese territory and says it will smash any attempt to declare independence, but lloyd austin said china should not encroach further on taiwan. 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. our 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. well, we very much welcome what prince charles seems to have said. this policy is wrong, we believe it's unlawful and is morally indefensible. applause. the home secretary has set great store by the deportation policy. she launched it 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 the views that have been made about rwanda seem to be on the basis of a lack of information about what this program 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. chuckles. i'm not that stupid. i do realise that it is a separate exercise being sovereign. in 10 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. brazilian police have found possible human remains in the search for uk journalist dom phillips, 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. one, an established journalist writing a book on saving the amazon — it was the reason for taking this trip.

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. a draft proposal in new zealand aims to address methane emissions linked to global warming, one cow and sheep burp at a time. if the plan is adopted, the nation would become the first to charge farmers for the methane emissions emanating from their livestock. joining us now is william rolleston, a farmer in new zealand and acting president of the world farmers organisation.

welcome to the programme, first well, do you accept this finding, and you welcome it? furthermore, i'm a former acting of the bombers organisation, but yes, certainly it is possible to reduce methane emissions from livestock but the problem we have at the moment is that we don't actually have tools that are available at scale to be able to do that. what do you need? able to do that. what do ou need? ., ., what do you need? there are a number of _ what do you need? there are a number of things _ what do you need? there are a number of things being - what do you need? there are a number of things being worked j number of things being worked on, and actually new zealand has been a world leader in the sorts of research for some time, we levied the global research alliance which is a group of countries working on methane emissions from livestock. a number of tools are being developed, one is a vaccine against the microbes that are set in the gut and

produce the methane, another could be feed for the animals that can inhibit that bacteria and stop them from producing methane. the mall grasses, new zealand has developed a genetically modified grass which has a high lipid level meaning they will be less methane for every mouthful of grass eaten. interesting, isn't it, but you can actually change the way that their guts work? the suggestion is almost a sort of tax and terms of its... is bad but you have a problem with? would you rather an incentive over a tax? this is both carrot and stick, tax and rebate system. farmers will be assessed on the number of animals that they have, and then what measures they put in place to actually reduce the

emissions. so i have mentioned a few of those tools, they are managed by the farmer, and they get a rebate on that. one thing i didn't mention, we have actually identified genetics within the animals. some animalsjust have guts within the animals. some animals just have guts that are less likely to produce methane as well. so when you put those sorts of tools in, you get a rebate on what you're doing. the last leg of this is that we already have an emissions trading scheme in new zealand. that involves, or part of that is actually planting trees. but, there are a lot of trees that don't qualify for that scheme, so those trees and plantings for example, erosion control, shelter belts, etc, they will actually be put in as a mitigation tool, so farmers will get much more credit than

they have been up until now for actually storing carbon.- actually storing carbon. thank ou for actually storing carbon. thank you forjoining _ actually storing carbon. thank you forjoining us, _ william rolleston in new zealand. 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. officials say two of the women were admitted to hospital. our china media analyst, kerry allen, has more about the case. there is surveillance footage that was filmed at a restaurant in an area of north—east china called tangshan province. and this footage showed 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 and she is clearly uncomfortable and 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, you see men throwing chairs at them. and there is footage outside the restaurant that shows one of the women being grabbed by her hair along the street and repeatedly kicked while she is down. this footage, which was shown in the early hours of friday, has horrified social media users. it has been absolutely erupting online and people are so angry about this because the scale of violence that it shows like sina weibo, which is china's version of twitter or facebook, 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 just 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. all around the world, people from the lgbt+ community, and their allies, have been celebrating gay pride. tens of thousands turned out in rome for the first pride march in more than two years. the coronavirus pandemic had stopped similar events in both 2020 and 2021. there were big crowds in vienna for austria's gay pride march. organisers said they were expecting more than 200,000 people to take to the streets. and there were colourful scenes in the nepalese capital, kathmandu. nepal has some of the most liberal laws regarding homosexuality in south asia, but demonstrators said they still wanted to raise awareness on equal rights.

one of the world's most famous restaurants is about to disappear — quite literally. it's been annnounced that hong kong'sjumbo floating restaurant is to leave the city after nearly 50 years. it's been closed since the beginning of the pandemic, and the local authorities don't want to invest in its re—opening. the bbc�*s tim allman has the story. no trip to hong kong was complete without a trip to the jumbo floating restaurant. it attracted celebrities, royalty, and more than a few locals. it was even the location for a bond film. but, this is the jumbo floating restaurant today — almost derelict mall. the kitchens have already capsized and there is no money for refurbishment. mrwhang and there is no money for refurbishment. mr whang has been ferrying tourists to the

0h oh hello that. 15 hours of sunshine for some south—eastern areas where the temperatures got up to 24 degrees on saturday. it was a little different though further north, as you will see. we had a wet and windy spell, nearly two inches of rain in the past 24 hours of parts of scotland, gusts of wind, 40—50 mph, even as far south as the potential of wales because of this unusually deep area of low pressure pulling away. gradually, the winds ease down. but, they will still continue to bring in a few showers through the early hours of the morning particularly in the north and west. temperatures starry skies perhaps comical

side. sunshine will follow, particularly for england and wales. the cloud bubbles up, showers are run for northern ireland particular north—western areas of england and wales, and particularly across scotland. everyone is here but generally if heavy ones that we had during saturday and fewer showers. quite blustery for the time of year but again the winds won't be as strong as we saw on saturday. temperatures will be on par with about 16—22 celsius. some sunshine to be found for most paths and showers tend to ease later but still heavy levels of pollen across england and wales. as we go through sunday night and monday, we start to see the showers fading for a time. the weak weather front pushes close by scotland, winds easing down, so temperatures may be lower. but only seven, eight. a fresh start to monday morning. plenty of sunshine will follow, plenty more cloud across the northern

half of scotland, showery outbreaks of rain to come, but not as windy. pushing into the low 20s for south with the strong june sunshine. then, through the week ahead this high pressure starts to push its influence further north, so its influence further north, so it still weather patterns around but little appreciable rain away from final scotland, and actually the high pressure will tap into some of that heat we are seeing further south, so temperatures are likely to rise, practically for england and wales, but this is one to watch. we will keep you posted. more online. nicholas witchell, bbc news.
