firepower. ukraine soldiers are still holding out here but the intense fighting goes on. ukraine's army says it is running low on artillery shell. the cranium governor say they could hold on to the city if western allies sent them enough long—range artillery. —— ukraine. in the capitol, the uk commission president discuss ukraine's request for you for the uu membership. translation: shill ukraine's request for you for the uu membership. translation: shallot membership. translation: all of euro -e is a membership. translation: all of europe is a target _ membership. translation: all of europe is a target and _ membership. translation: fill rrf europe is a target and ukraine is the first stage of the russian attack. it could be a positive answer to the question of whether the european project has a future at

helena wilkinson, bbc news. our correspondent joe inwood is in kyiv. joe, we're hearing reports of a large fire at a chemical plant in severodonetsk. what more can you tell us? this is the azot chemical plant, a big complex in the centre of the city and one of the place of the ukrainian forces have been pushed back to defending. we understand there was heavy shelling, as there has been across the city for those. but heavy shelling overnight and in the last few hours has caused a massive fire, tons and tons of oil from radiators is leaking out. the ukrainian regional governor of the luhansk,... huge garages and large parts of the city have been destroyed. as well as the soldiers,

there are civilians. we understand about 800 taking shelter, unable to get out. the roads are pretty much sealed out and they will have to keep their heads down and withstand this bombardment that it is looking fairly desperate in severodonetsk. tens of thousands of people have held rallies and marches across the united states in support of tighter gun control laws. the demonstrations follow a spate of mass shootings, including an attack at an elementary school in texas, in which 19 children and two teachers were murdered. our correspondent barbara plett—usher has this report. 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 uvalde, texas. if our government can't do anything to stop 19 kids from being killed and slaughtered

in their own school, and decapitated, it's time to change who is in government! all: vote them out! again! vote them out! for years, congress has failed to pass gun safety measures, blocked by opposition from the gun lobby and the republican party. but people here feel now is the right time to renew their campaign. rallies took place in hundreds of cities across the country, in new york, where a gunman recently killed ten people in a racist attack, and in florida, where a school shooting four years ago launched this movement. the theme of these rallies is this time will be different, meaning this time, there will be action on gun control. many of these people have been fighting for this for a long time. some have told me they feel more hopeful, rather than optimistic, but this is a time when the issue has captured the national attention in a very visceral way — we have to keep our kids safe. protesters have pushed through gun restrictions at the state level,

but they want national action. do you feel that there is a bit of momentum around this issue? i think so, definitely, for our generation. this is one of our biggest pushes because we're the ones dying in schools, in movie theatres. it's been happening since before i can remember. something has to change. we can't keep letting our children die like this. but even here, a few minutes of panic. there was a disruption on stage and people ran. the fear of a gun attack is alive and everywhere. earlier this week, a young survivor of the texas shooting described her terrifying experience to lawmakers. emotional testimony from the families brought the pain and horror to capitol hill. gavel bangs. 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 nays are 204 — the bill is passed.

the president told the marchers to keep up the pressure. keep marching. it's important. look, this has to become an election issue. the way people listen — senators, congresspeople — when people say, "i'm gonna — this is gonna affect my vote". too many people are dying needlessly. and what's even being proposed in the house and senate is marginal. i mean, it's important, but it's not all that needs to be done. in uvalde, another vigilfor the dead. in public opinion, at least, the mood is shifting — americans agree the killing of children has to stop. more and more say that should involve national gun controls. barbara plett usher, bbc news, washington. investigators searching for a british journalist who went missing in the amazon rainforest say they are doubtful that remains found in a river could be human. brazilian police had announced the discovery of organic material near where dom phillips and another man disappeared last sunday. however, two officers involved in the case have told reuters news

agency that the material's location and condition make it unlikely to be connected relevant. relatives of a 15—year—old boy who was fatally stabbed in manchester have said he was a "funny and cheeky boy" who is a "hero" to his family. jakub szymanski died on thursday night. his mother was also treated for serious stab wounds. police are continuing to hold a 44—year—old man from manchester, who was arrested on suspicion of murder. a usjudge has dismissed a rape lawsuit against the footballer cristiano ronaldo, after accusing the complainant's lawyer of relying on leaked and stolen documents. a woman accused the manchester united and portugal player of attacking her in las vegas in 2009. he denies the allegation and has never been charged, but they reportedly reached an out—of—court settlement in 2010, and this lawsuit was an attempt by the woman to seek further compensation. the united states will no longer require air travellers

to have proof of a negative covid—i9 test before entering the country from abroad. officials said they were dropping the requirement due to the "tremendous progress" the country had made in the fight against the virus. the travel industry has been pushing for an end to the policy, which they say has deterred bookings, as families fear getting stranded abroad. the change comes into effect on sunday. the transport secretary grant shapps has said the government is preparing to lift a ban on agency staff filling in for striking workers. the change, if it happens, will not come in time to affect the planned walkout by 40,000 rail workers at the end of this month. the strikes are due to take place on 21,23 and 25june but it is likely services across the whole week will be disrupted. the queen had a lot to celebrate last weekend — now she has another achievement to chalk up. her majesty is now the second longest serving monarch in world history. she is beaten only by louis xiv

of france, who reigned from 1642 to 1715. according to one of the stories and the paper, it is also said she has the paper, it is also said she has the best smile in the country. shatter the best smile in the country. after her? i am the best smile in the country. after her? i am sure _ the best smile in the country. after her? i am sure she _ the best smile in the country. after her? i am sure she will _ the best smile in the country. after her? i am sure she will be - the best smile in the country. he her? i am sure she will be very pleased. — — after who? if you pack your son or daughter off to university this autumn, they may be spending a large chunk of time wearing a virtual reality headset. but don't worry they're not necessarily gaming. that is what they keep telling me! vr is transforming how pharmaceutical students learn about medicines and it could help develop new drugs to treat a range of illnesses. our science correspondent richard westcott went to find out more. designing new medicines is like playing with a jigsaw, the shape of the drug needs to fit the shape of

the drug needs to fit the shape of the illness in your body so it is a lot is to find match if you can see what they both look like in 3d. this pharmaceutical student had the idea of students using virtual reality, after she went on an industry placement. this is a protein linked to blood clots.— to blood clots. yes, this is the molecule _ to blood clots. yes, this is the molecule in — to blood clots. yes, this is the molecule in the _ to blood clots. yes, this is the molecule in the body - to blood clots. yes, this is the i molecule in the body responsible to blood clots. yes, this is the - molecule in the body responsible for causing blood clots so as you can see, the protein is quite a complicated protein, a big bowl of string almost. you can look around it. that is the beauty of vr. you can make it rim scale and really get anything. can make it rim scale and really get an hina. , , can make it rim scale and really get an hin. , , ., .,, anything. this is naturally occurring. _ anything. this is naturally occurring, the _ anything. this is naturally occurring, the green - anything. this is naturally| occurring, the green thing anything. this is naturally - occurring, the green thing and you want a drug that can fit?— want a drug that can fit? exactly. when we develop _ want a drug that can fit? exactly. when we develop drugs, - want a drug that can fit? exactly. i when we develop drugs, sometimes want a drug that can fit? exactly. - when we develop drugs, sometimes we want to modify them to have a different effect or a more strong

pretty hot for some of us, but not for all of us. there will always be a bit more cloud and cooler weather across the north—west. shall we delve into the weather forecast? a fine start to the day, this was how it started off with largely sunny skies. that whether wattel was sent on in the last half hour or so. suppose it is a sign that two weeks away is the longest day of the year so far, so the song —— summarises long gone. later in the week temperatures are said to hit 30 degrees in eastern england, before we gather, across scotland and northern ireland are looking at cloudy conditions with scattered showers. england and wales, for the most part, it is dry, and with some sunshine it will feel warm, like you did yesterday, really. the satellite picture, the thickest cloud is working into the north—west of the uk, that is bringing showers already. you'll see this on the radar picture coming to scotland, northern ireland, and one or two for the north—west of england as well. showers are probably at their most widespread as we go through this

" the paper says farmers and environmentalists are angry over the prime minister's food strategy for england, which is set to be announced tomorrow.

we are going to talk a bit more about that story during the course of morning before nine o'clock on breakfast today. the mail on sunday focuses on the government's policy of sending people to rwanda if they arrive illegally into the uk. it says the home secretary, priti patel, will launch an advertising campaign to warn potential arrivals of the new scheme. we have been talking about this a lot over the last few days. and the sunday times reports that summer is finally on its way with temperatures set to hit nearly 30 degrees celsius in some parts of the country next week thanks to a spanish heatwave heading north. i mentioned is, iwilljust i mentioned is, i willjust finished the story in the sunday mirror, it is a server that has been done about people's smiles and who in the country has the most authentic, the dean isis, and the most sincere smile. you'll be unsurprised after

will, already back on the land. it's just a couple of months since these fields were the scene of fierce fighting and they still bear the scars. this network of fortifications were dug by the ukrainians as they prepared for the advance of the russian forces. but trenches aren't the only thing that remain under the surface of these fields. antitank mines, as the family in this minibus discovered, a deadly and hidden all over the countryside. the halo trust are starting to remove them, but it will be a long process. it is starting to remove them, but it will be a long process.— be a long process. it is a massive scale given _ be a long process. it is a massive scale given the — be a long process. it is a massive scale given the nature _ be a long process. it is a massive scale given the nature of - be a long process. it is a massive scale given the nature of the i scale given the nature of the conflict, and it is very difficult to put an estimate on how long, there is huge work ahead, we're talking years, maybe decades, toukley ukraine. what we see is the impact on the local level, its civilians being killed. and impact on the local level, its civilians being killed. and it's not 'ust mines civilians being killed. and it's not just mines that _ civilians being killed. and it's not just mines that are _ civilians being killed. and it's not just mines that are scattered i civilians being killed. and it's not| just mines that are scattered over this once peaceful land. eleanor

are yet to register a win in this year's nations league, after they were held to a goalless draw by italy at molineux. mason mount hit the bar in the first half, but the best chance of the match fell to raheem sterling who blazed over early in the second half. harry kane started from the bench, and manager gareth southgate feels they have to take their chances when he's not scoring. you do not get loads of chances in games against the top level teams. that is how it is. we would have liked to have created more given the amount of possession but we definitely use the ball better in the back two—thirds of the field which is pleasing. but in the end, we have not got the goal to make the different and, you know, we are very, very reliant on harry and raheem sterling at the moment and thatis raheem sterling at the moment and that is a concern. a late equaliser earned wales a 1—1 draw with belgium, in their latest

nations league match. leicester city midfielder youri tielemans had put belgium ahead, but nottingham forest's brennanjohnson scored his first international goal to secure a point for wales in cardiff. the republic of ireland claimed a first nations league victory, with a comfortable 3—0 win over scotland. swansea's michael obafemi scored the pick of the bunch, beating craig gordon from far early in the second half. that came after goals from alan browne and troy parrott gave stephen kenny's side a 2—0 halftime lead. what a goal that was. england are facing an uphill battle to save the second test against new zealand, after the tourists posted their highest ever score on these shores. after the kiwis finished 553 all out, england ended the day on 90—1. as patrick gearey reports. second day of the second test, england so far second best. they were haunted by regrets. they might have got daryl mitchell early, instead he made a century, number two of the series and they should

have got him again on 104. underneath that, matthew cox, no—one could believe they like. meanwhile, tom blundell bundled one away to reach his 100. he was out not long later but new zealand were flying, hurtling towards 450 with mitchell lodging them around nottingham. heads up, in fact, sign him up. joe root was a guilty man on day one. at least michael bracewell did not get away. by the time mitchell and new zealand were all out, they had made 553. over to england, who had been made to watch but it look easy, knowing it is not. just a zac crawley, hard luck, hard work. in that made it through to 90—1 at the close. onejob done, just that made it through to 90—1 at the close. one job done, just the three days to go. patrick gearey, bbc news. charles leclerc will be aiming to close the gap to max verstappen in the formula one

drivers championship, when he starts this afternoon's azerbaijan grand prix from pole. the ferrari driver put in an impressive lap in qualifying, to beat red bull's sergio perez by more than a quarter of a second. championship leader verstappen will start from third in the other red bull. george russell is the best placed briton in fifth, two places ahead of his mercedes team mate lewis hamilton. this one i probably did not expect because i thought red bull was strong, especially in q1 and q2. we were faster but then in the last lap everything came together and managed to do a good lap so extremely happy. in the women's triathlon event in leeds, britain's double olympic medallist georgia taylor—brown finished second. fellow brit sophie coldwell was third. they both narrowly lost out to cassandre beaugrand of france, who won gold despite picking up a 10 second penalty along the way. in the men's race, the hopes of british pair jonathan brownlee and alex yee were ended after a crash on the bike leg that wasn't caught on camera. it was hayden wilde of new zealand

who took first place. and what a fightback from saracens — they came from behind to the champions harlequins, in their premiership semi—final. the victory means sarries reach their sixth final in their last eight campaigns, having won four of those trips to twickenham. jess softley has more. former champions versus reigning champions, saracens versus harlequins, the stage was set. queens had the better start, marcus bean exploited a gap in the defence. the deficit was reduced before a play by owen farrell gave saracens the lead. 13—12 at half time and they held that momentum. all the way to the try line. a series of high

tackle lead them to 13 men, an opportunity queens did not waste. direct and precise the try. queens had the scales not the time. a final try squashing any hope of a comeback. saracens's return to former glory has been incredible. they are nowjust former glory has been incredible. they are now just 80 former glory has been incredible. they are nowjust 80 minutes away from a six premiership title. jess softley, bbc news south african charl schwartzel has won the biggest individual monetary prize ever awarded at a golf event. the 2011 masters champion claimed the controversial saudi—led liv golf invitational in hertfordshire and picked up around 4 million us dollars in prize money. schwartzel won by one shot at the centurion club. that very much has been the sport story of the week, the southee back new golf series which has just

i'm in america's oldest national park as it celebrates its 150th birthday by welcoming back these magnificent animals. it never gets old. they are such gorgeous creatures. never. carmen is in hong kong with a night on the tiles, joining some of the young people breathing life into a traditional game of tactics and chance. oh, my god — so many rules! laughter. and we head to cambodia, to meet the troop of young performers who are bouncing back from a tough time during covid. the children not only learn circus, theatre, dance and music, but they learn also life and the soft skills.

this week, i'm in the great american west, where lakes, volcanoes and mountains span vast swathes of wilderness to make up one of america's most dramatic landscapes, yellowstone national park. whoa! so this is old faithful, probably one of the world's most famous geysers. and there she goes! oh, my god. just spectacular! the snow—capped mountains

in the distance. it's hard not to drive with yourjaw open, basically! 2022 is special for yellowstone. it marks 150 years since it became one of the world's first national parks in 1872. a pioneer in conservation and land management, today, there are over 4,000 national parks globally. but, despite its world—renowned status, yellowstone has a complex history, one it's using this milestone anniversary to try to address. i'm here to find out how. yellowstone represents some of the very best america has to offer, and 150 years is a long time. we didn't always get it right in yellowstone.

there were native american tribal nations in this area probably 20,000 years prior to yellowstone becoming a national park. despite fierce opposition, when the park was first established, indigenous people were forcibly removed from their land. until now, their history has been largely untold, but the park service is trying to change that. so, 27 american indian tribes that, to one degree or another, were on this landscape prior to 1872. and even though we've done some really good things with tribes over the years, we felt that it was a point in time where we really needed to re—engage with tribal nations. yeah. and for us to not only be able to tell the stories ourselves about american indian history and culture —

which is part of our mission — but also to get them in the park... yeah. ..to get them engaged with visitors. and so we've done it. oh, it takes me about four or five days to make a doll. wow. back inside i meet scott, whose native american ancestors were forced from their lands. he's here not only to sell his handicrafts, but also to later raise his tribal flag over the site. this song is my brother's song. it's a sun dance song. it's to wake up to. sings. so, raising the flag to me is, you know, coming home and putting the flag in and reclaiming, you know, what was — to some — taken away. yellowstone calls out to people to come, worldwide.

somehow that word �*yellowstone' is a message to people to come and see not only the geysers but the animals, you know? the buffaloes, the wolves. and so, for me, it's a beacon... yeah. ..of starting an environmental movement to save land for us in the future, but for us to come in to be with the people — the animal people. and it's the animals that are helping soothe these relations — in particular, yellowstone's iconic bison. these days, you don't have to travel far to come across these guys thundering around, causing trafficjams. but at the end of the 19th century, they were hunted almost to extinction. in a short space of time, the population of america's largest land mammalfell from over 20 million to around only 200 and, with them, disappeared the futures of many native american tribes.

it was really a sad story. we thought that removing bison from this continent was the way to remove the food source that native americans relied upon. and as we were essentially eliminating native americans from this country, we were eliminating their food. and it's taken us probably 100 years to come to grips with that and then, to say what it really does mean to get these animals back out on big landscapes and, more so than that, hopefully get them back to people. these animals mean more to them than maybe anybody on the planet. yeah, yeah. thanks to a captive breeding programme, bison numbers are now booming. coming now — one, two! and, for the first time in its history, the park

authorities are working with local native american groups to relocate these magnificent beasts to roam again across tribal lands. here she comes — five! we get in the truck, i'm usually behind the animals as they're heading north. you know, we have these caravans of trucks just heading across the highways of montana. and it doesn't matter what time of year it is, the tribes are just waiting there, they're waiting for these animals to get off of the trucks. back on the road, i'm making a five—hourjourney to see how one of the latest herds to be released are getting on. so, i've now left yellowstone behind, i've entered the wind river reservation and it feels really, really different here. wind river, one of the largest reservations in america, home to the eastern shoshone and northern arapaho tribes, was created when conflict broke out between the tribes and european settlers

in the 19th century. hey, jason! hi, how's it going? i'm good! how are you? jason is the man responsible for the newly relocated animals. hello! along with the breeding programme, he also hosts local school groups to try and reconnect children with their native american heritage. so, how do the kids respond when they come out here? it's in our genetic memory, you know, buffalo are in our dna. we had some kids come out in a bus and they got off the bus and the buffalo were curious and they came around the bus and to see them make eye contact with each other was something really, really special. it's an emotional experience, really, you know, to see those kids have a reconnection with that. yeah. it never gets old. never. no, they're such gorgeous creatures, aren't they? they are.

drumming. so talk to me about the moment that the first buffalo hoof have hit the land. it's taken me 15 years, really, to get the supporters — a bald eagle flying over us right here. gasps. bald eagle! it was very impactful. you know, you could never imagine thatjust that one hoof print would have been so significant. yeah, yeah. but it was 131 years that it took for that hoof to land. so, beyond conservation, you know, why are the buffalo so important? that piece of our life, connection, was severed when the buffalo was eliminated.. yeah. ..nearly exterminated. so, restoring the animal to our communities is very important and our cultural revitalisation. yeah, yeah! you know, the ecological importance of restoring animal to the landscape

heals the land. by integrating this animal back into our diet heals us. i myself had to find that — i struggled with alcohol for a number of years and was able to put that away 3.5 years ago, find recovery, find healing. it's putting away, you know, the atrocities, the problems that were imposed upon us and creating a new solution to something better. yeah, yeah — the buffalo have really helped you find yourself and just reconnect. i wouldn't be here today without these buffalo. jason, you are making it happen. the work you're doing here is, honestly, nothing short of incredible and i wish you the best of luck with everything, from my heart. well, thank you very much. i genuinely mean that. thank you very much. jason is hoping his work will inspire similar initiatives and that bison will continue to be returned to indigenous people across the globe. back at the lodge, it's scott's

big flag—raising moment. this is the crow tribal emblem. it has the great seal of the crow tribe. it's a very great honour, you know, to come and do this for the tribe and the people. a really great honour. for the crow people and all the native people who've never left this country. seeing these two flags flying alongside each other hopefully signals the start of a new, more respectful future where, although the wrongs of the past are acknowledged, everyone who lives and works in yellowstone can look towards a more positive future. and i can't think of a better way to mark this truly astounding national park's 150th birthday than that. still to come on the travel show — carmen gets a crash course in mahjong, but let's just hope the stakes aren't too high.

i'm really not sure i'm doing this right. so don't go away. well, from yellowstone, we're crossing to a very different part of the world. cambodia, in south—east asia, is one of the well—established highlights on the backpackers' trail. history, geography and spirituality are its selling points. the country went through a tough time because of covid but we've ave been to meet a group of amazing and dedicated young acrobats who are limbering up to shake the past two years off and get performing again. the performers at phare circus have spent up to eight years training for this.

three times a week, they dance, juggle and flip for delighted tourists. they are all graduates of the circus's school in battambang, which educates and trains local children for free. in 1994, we can say that 80% of all of the children and families here are under the poverty line. currently, 80% of them are over the poverty line. the children not not only learned circus — well, they choose circus — but they learn also theatre, dance and music, as well as the life and the soft skills. we aim to build their career.

then, they are able to come only, like, to the class and also able to help their family and to work. we also are supporting the students and provide lunch to the students who are from really difficult backgrounds. we give them really good foods and help them to gain their energy, to be able to get started with the training itself. after successfully avoiding the first wave, cambodia suffered a covid outbreak in early 2021. all entertainment venues were closed. that included the circus and the school for almost a year. it meant that we cut activities.

cambodia's now reopened with some of the highest vaccination rates in the world. cambodia's now reopened with some of the highest vaccination rates in the world. there are grounds for cautious optimism. our aim is to expand within the 25 cities and provinces here in cambodia, and also to abroad as well. if it is going well, though, i think that what i really wish

will be coming through and our students will become very good citizens and able to contribute back to their community and also to the school. cheering and applause well, to finish this week, we are staying in asia but heading to hong kong, where the traditional chinese game of mahjong has been played by generations of locals. but in an age of smartphones and tablets, can it survive?

we sent carmen to meet a group of young people who are trying their best to ensure that it does. some say the game of mahjong was invented by confucius himself. others, by chinese fishermen around 1000 years ago. but whatever its roots, it is massive in hong kong. it's pretty serious business, which is why i'm trying to keep my voice down. but if you can watch a game in progress, it's a great way of getting under the skin of the city. fan has agreed to let me watch her game — as long as i behave myself. i've only recently learned the rules but i think playing a couple of games will give me a really good deep dive into authentic hong kong. laughter. oh, you won? again?! i'm a little bit intimidated! i'm going to watch.

i'm just going to watch. the basics are actually very simple — the winner is the first to collect four sets of three and a pair — but it still takes a bit of figuring out. see, i get confused with the win. it's very difficult if you don't speak cantonese — the characters. i find them difficult. again! yeah! you won again! you are my lucky star! i must be your lucky star! it's a very traditional game, played largely by older people — a bit like chess or backgammon — and there are signs that as the older generation is dying out, so is of the enthusiasm for mahjong. take auntie mei here. it's claimed she's the last female mahjong carver in the city. each tile is handmade.

how difficult is it to carve the tiles? so, auntie mei, why aren't there more mahjong carvers in hong kong? but there are young people here who still care about the game and are keen to teach newcomers the rules.

only take from your left for sequence. ah! because this is... oh, my god! so many rules! laughter why have i only got ten? because you have three here. ah, 0k! maths isn't my forte. ok, so i don't want this egg circle, so your turn. i'm really not sure i'm doing this right. do you want this? i don't know — i'm thinking about it. no, you can't! laughter this is the mahjong hostel, run by iris, who is not only a lively host, she is also a very patient teacher. because many people, they don't know the game until they come here. and i know many hostels, they do some board game nights or card game nights, but we like using mahjong, yes, to play with the people, because they — it's hard to learn at the beginning but when you know how to play the game, it's fun and you're addicted to — you want to play every night!

sometimes, people, they play until very late. but you're the youngest person i've seen on this trip playing mahjong. why — why don't many young people get into it? people, they more like playing video game on the phone, you know? everyone has a phone, they play the game, yes. on the phone, and in hong kong, we have a problem of lack of space. you need to set up the mahjong table and get four people together and play. it's not easy for hong kong because everyone has only very small house. so, it's not the most accessible part of hong kong culture, especially for the casual tourist — the rules are complicated and, quite frankly, most parlours are not that welcoming to newcomers. but there are places that will teach you, like this hostel — and, surprisingly, i am finding it really fun. that's it for this week. coming up on next week's show —

ade's here to run through his picks of his favourite recent travel show stories, including the time he got a special ride to the top of the now far more accessible acropolis in athens. now, i get to experience the acropolis and i get this wonderful view of the parthenon. this is brilliant! i want to take these concrete slabs home! don't forget, we're on bbc iplayer, too, as well as facebook and instagram. all you've got to do is search �*bbc travel show�* and enjoy scrolling through some of our most recent trips. in the meantime, i'm offfora dip. only kidding.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with tina daheley and rogerjohnson. our headlines today: fierce street fighting in eastern ukraine — president zelensky says his forces are "holding on", but warns troops are running low on ammunition. an escalation in the war of words over rail strikes — the transport secretary says agency staff could be allowed to fill in for workers who walk out. five competitors have died the tt races on the isle of man this year — we ask if anything can be done to make the event safer. as the search continues in brazil for british journalist dom philips and another man, we hear the thoughts of a friend and former colleague.

andy murray reaches his first tour—level final on grass in six years, getting the better nick kyrgios to continue his winning streak in stuttgart. scotla nd scotland and northern ireland having quite a cloudy day with a number of showers, england and wales mostly dry with some warm spells of sunshine. in the week ahead, for the first time this year i will have to use the h word, yes, for some of us, the weather is going to get heart, joined emulatorfor the bull forecast. it's sunday the 12th ofjune. our main story — the ukrainian president has said his troops are running low on ammunition as they try to repel russian invaders in the east. volodymyr zelensky says his forces are "holding on" for now, as they engage in fierce street fighting, but he appealed for more help from western powers. helena wilkinson has the latest. this is the east of ukraine, in the donbas region, it's one of the areas russian forces

have focused their firepower. ukraine soldiers are still holding out here, but the intense fighting goes on. ukraine's army says it is running low on artillery shells. the ukrainian governor of the luhansk province claims they could hold on to the besieged city of severodonetsk, if western allies sent them enough long—range artillery. in ukraine's capital, kyiv, the uk commission president met with ukraine's president, there to discuss ukraine's request for eu membership. president zelensky argued that the eu's future depended on letting his country in. translation: all of europe is a target for russia, i 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 eu will decide next week, whether ukraine should be given candidate status. you have done a lot in strengthening the rule of law but there still needs to be reforms implemented to fight corruption, for example. translation: very fruitful talks with the president i of the european commission ursula von der leyen, were held in kyiv today. i'm glad to note her sincerity. it is the european commission that will prepare a conclusion about our application. ukraine has provided all the necessary answers in a very short time and it was done in a proper way. in the south of the country, fighting has left villagers devastated. homes and churches have been destroyed. ukraine now waits to find out if the eu will allow it to become a member. in the short—term, though, the country says it needs more weapons and quickly, from the west, to be able to defend itself.

helena wilkinson, bbc news. earlier on breakfast we spoke to our correspondentjoe inwood, who told us about a large fire at a chemical plant in the eastern city of severodonetsk. this is a chemical plant in the centre of the city and one of the places that ukrainian forces have been pushed back to and are defending. we understand there was heavy shelling as there has been made across the city for days, but heavy shelling overnight in the last few hours, and it has caused a massive fire, tons and tons of oil from radiators we understand our leaking out of. this is all according to sergei, the ukrainian regional governor of the lou hunsicker reason. this is the place where the focus of the russian forces has really be over the last few weeks —— luhansk. there has been a mass of artillery, huge garages, is a large part of the city have

been destroyed. as well as the soldiers there are civilians as well, we understand about 800 taking shelter, unable to get out, the roads are pretty much sealed off so they are going to have to keep their heads down as much as they can, try to withstand this bombardment but it is looking fairly desperate in severodonetsk. the transport secretary grant shapps has said the government is preparing to lift a ban on agency staff filling in for striking workers. the change, if it happens, will not come in time to affect the planned walkout by 40,000 rail workers at the end of this month. let's speak to our political correspondent pete saull. pete, the war of words over these strikes is heating up isn't it? many people will see this as a fundamental change, other people will be alarmed, but it is certainly ratcheting up the pressure ahead of these rail strikes?— these rail strikes? that's right, mornin: these rail strikes? that's right, morning to _ these rail strikes? that's right, morning to you. _ these rail strikes? that's right, morning to you. nine - these rail strikes? that's right, morning to you. nine days i these rail strikes? that's right, morning to you. nine days to l these rail strikes? that's right, l morning to you. nine days to go these rail strikes? that's right, i morning to you. nine days to go into the very— morning to you. nine days to go into the very first — morning to you. nine days to go into the very first of those strikes, and

as we _ the very first of those strikes, and as we get— the very first of those strikes, and as we get closer to it, the government is upping the rhetoric and what — government is upping the rhetoric and what they have done is go back to an _ and what they have done is go back to an idea _ and what they have done is go back to an idea that was actually in the 2015 conservative manifesto when david _ 2015 conservative manifesto when david cameron was prime minister to repeat— david cameron was prime minister to repeal legislation that bans temporary agency workers from stepping — temporary agency workers from stepping in on strike days. clearly this would — stepping in on strike days. clearly this would need to be passed by parliament, so it won't come in time for the _ parliament, so it won't come in time for the strike — parliament, so it won't come in time for the strike days that a plan for the end — for the strike days that a plan for the end of— for the strike days that a plan for the end of this month, and indeed the end of this month, and indeed the other— the end of this month, and indeed the other strikes on public transport in different parts of the country. — transport in different parts of the country, but grant, the transport secretary, — country, but grant, the transport secretary, said that it will come forward — secretary, said that it will come forward quickly. the other thing that he — forward quickly. the other thing that he is— forward quickly. the other thing that he is saying this morning is that he is saying this morning is that workers who do strike later this month won't be able to claim over time — this month won't be able to claim over time if— this month won't be able to claim over time if they work on subsequent days to _ over time if they work on subsequent days to perhaps make up for some of the money— days to perhaps make up for some of the money they would have lost on strike _ the money they would have lost on strike days — the money they would have lost on strike days. clearly that may well act as _ strike days. clearly that may well act as a _ strike days. clearly that may well act as a disincentive to them, but it will— act as a disincentive to them, but it will also— act as a disincentive to them, but it will also have the effect

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 uvalde, texas. if our government can't do anything to stop 19 kids from being killed and slaughtered in their own school, and decapitated, it's time to change who is in government! all: vote them out! again! vote them out! for years, congress has failed to pass gun safety measures, blocked by opposition from the gun lobby and the republican party. but people here feel now is the right time to renew their campaign. rallies took place in hundreds of cities across the country, in new york, where a gunman recently killed ten people in a racist attack, and in florida, where a school shooting four years ago launched this movement. the theme of these rallies is this time will be different,

meaning this time, there will be action on gun control. many of these people have been fighting for this for a long time. some have told me they feel more hopeful, rather than optimistic, but this is a time when the issue has captured the national attention in a very visceral way — we have to keep our kids safe. protesters have pushed through gun restrictions at the state level, but they want national action. do you feel that there is a bit of momentum around this issue? i think so, definitely, for our generation. this is one of our biggest pushes because we're the ones dying in schools, in movie theatres. it's been happening since before i can remember. something has to change. we can't keep letting our children die like this. but even here, a few minutes of panic. there was a disruption on stage and people ran. the fear of a gun attack is alive and everywhere. earlier this week, a young survivor of the texas shooting described her terrifying experience to lawmakers.

emotional testimony from the families brought the pain and horror to capitol hill. gavel bangs. 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 nays are 201; — the bill is passed. the president told the marchers to keep up the pressure. keep marching. it's important. look, this has to become an election issue. the way people listen — senators, congresspeople — when people say, "i'm gonna — this is gonna affect my vote". too many people are dying needlessly. and what's even being proposed in the house and senate is marginal. i mean, it's important, but it's not all that needs to be done. in uvalde, another vigilfor the dead. in public opinion, at least, the mood is shifting — americans agree the killing of children has to stop. more and more say that should involve national gun controls. barbara plett usher,

bbc news, washington. relatives of a 15—year—old boy who was fatally stabbed in manchester have said he was a "funny and cheeky boy" who is a "hero" to his family. jakub shumanski died on thursday night. his mother was also treated for serious stab wounds. police are continuing to hold a 44—year—old man from manchester who was arrested on suspicion of murder. a usjudge has dismissed a rape lawsuit against the footballer cristiano ronaldo after accusing the complainant's lawyer of relying on leaked and stolen documents. a woman accused the manchester united and portugal player of attacking her in las vegas in 2009. he denies the allegation, and has never been charged, but they reportedly reached an out of court settlement in 2010, and this lawsuit was an attempt by the woman to seek further compensation. the united states will no longer require air travellers to have proof of a negative covid—19 test before entering the country.

at the contest in more than 30 years. welsh rider mark purslow, frenchman cesar chanal, and northern ireland's davy morgan all died in crashes, as did roger and bradley stockton, a father and son from crewe. ben croucher reports. motorsports provide few tests quite like the isle of man mark purslow, more than 100 competitors repairfor racing this year, five never made it home. speeds approaching 200 miles an hour and 37 three quarters miles of close public roads, the circuit is one of the most iconic in motor racing, and one of the most deadly. this year's tt has been very much marked by the tragic incidents that we have had, and that more than anything else will probably be the way that this year is remembered. from the start, it's plunging away down broughill. first held in 1907, the tourist trophy has long attracted riders and fans the world over. for many, the tt is the isle

love with motorcycling in your teenage years, but it has been a rollercoaster of emotions for you, hasn't it? yes, good morning, absolutely. it is a sport i love dearly, but it can be so unforgiving if something goes wrong, there's no doubt about that. because we just had two weeks at the isle of man and some incredible highs, but, sadly, as we all know now, some heartbreaking lows, as bad as they can ever remember, to be honest. :, , :, :, ,, , as they can ever remember, to be honest. :, :,~ , , :, honest. can you take us inside that mindset, honest. can you take us inside that mindset. that _ honest. can you take us inside that mindset, that mentality _ honest. can you take us inside that mindset, that mentality of - honest. can you take us inside that mindset, that mentality of a - honest. can you take us inside that mindset, that mentality of a rider. mindset, that mentality of a rider who decides, even with the events of the past few weeks, those tragic deaths, to continue to compete because of the love of the sport and they are risking their life?— they are risking their life? yeah, to be honest. — they are risking their life? yeah, to be honest, tina, _ they are risking their life? yeah, to be honest, tina, they- they are risking their life? yeah, to be honest, tina, they are - they are risking their life? yeah, to be honest, tina, they are a i to be honest, tina, they are a different breed of people. they are people who love to be involved and was i would only considered to be an

extreme sport. we have several extreme sport. we have several extreme sports like mountaineering and boxing and different ones where you know there's always a high of injury and, you know, any death in sports, even one, is deeply regrettable, but to have five like we have had in the past fortnight in tt races, it is just unacceptable. and they know the organisers tried so hard to make it safer, but they will never ever dominic hughes played a track there where it said you will never be able to make it totally safe. they think that plays a part of how the riders get the thrill and the boost out of competing. certainly they have a fear as well. they all have a mindset, to be honest, where they feel that itjust mindset, to be honest, where they feel that it just will mindset, to be honest, where they feel that itjust will not happen to me. feel that it 'ust will not happen to me. :, , �* , feel that it 'ust will not happen to me. :, �*, me. you say it's unacceptable. in our me. you say it's unacceptable. in your view. _ me. you say it's unacceptable. in your view, then, _ me. you say it's unacceptable. in your view, then, what _ me. you say it's unacceptable. in your view, then, what should - me. you say it's unacceptable. in -

continues to race on. and i was on such a high when michael did that, because i love the lad, but minutes after that we lost a rider from home hill called davy morgan, and suddenly, he had come in for a few minutes as well, this board had taken somebody that a new personally and held in the very highest of esteem. it'sjust and held in the very highest of esteem. it's just something that is difficult to explain to people. they know that people on the outside think that these people are absolute lunatics and they put on craig uhlmann and go out racing, but they are not, they are very intelligent young men and women, actually, as well. and they know a lot of them personally, know the road race family, and have been going to the event for some 30 odd years. and is difficult to explain, you do get a high, but you also certainly get those lows that are totally, as they say, unacceptable. qt

again and walked away, and it was a fantastic meeting, maybe 100,000 fantastic meeting, maybe 100 , 000 people fantastic meeting, maybe 100,000 people in attendance, they loved it. the riders love it. they know the risks. as not to say they are going in with their arms up their back being forced to do it by people, they know the risks exactly. they have been involved with the late robert dunlop for many, many years, sadly robert lost his life racing at the northwest 200. and they know from the inside what it's like for those people, even with serious injuries and near misses, theyjust simply can't wait to get back on the bike again and get out racing. it's just something that a particular breed of people love. i do lovett, as i say, this love hate relationship with it. to make it safe, it never will happen. the tt in particular is almost 38 miles long and you are wondering what way that i would say that we could maybe make it better, i would probably

start they may be saying that that's enough of cywka racing at the isle of man tt. they think it is too unstable for the lumps and bumps in thejobs that are unstable for the lumps and bumps in the jobs that are around that 38 mile circuit and they think that's something the organisers will have to take a long, hard look at —— 38 mile circuit. to take a long, hard look at -- 38 mile circuit.— to take a long, hard look at -- 38 mile circuit. you can take some of those obstacles _ mile circuit. you can take some of those obstacles out _ mile circuit. you can take some of those obstacles out of _ mile circuit. you can take some of those obstacles out of the - mile circuit. you can take some of those obstacles out of the way, i those obstacles out of the way, essentially they are writing up to speeds of 200 mph. at that speed, there is going to be a great amount of risk. just before we let you go, can isle of man tt races continue in its current form? t can isle of man tt races continue in its current form ?_ its current form? i don't think so. i think they _ its current form? i don't think so. i think they have _ its current form? i don't think so. i think they have got _ its current form? i don't think so. i think they have got to _ its current form? i don't think so. i think they have got to take - its current form? i don't think so. i think they have got to take a - i think they have got to take a serious look, whether it's reducing the length of the races, you will never remove all the furniture, as we call it, around eight 38 mile circuit, there will still be those walls impose on trees, they honestly think it is maybe time to call a

said, there are showers sinking into north—west england at the moment and certainly the satellite picture shows the extensive cloud working on from the north—west. it is this that is bringing those widespread showers at the moment to western scotland, across northern ireland, and if you just getting into north—west england as well. as we go through the rest of the day, there is a virgin snow showers will at least tend to thin out a little bit as we go into the afternoon, showers will continue to feed on —— in on the gusty winds, up to 30 mph. that is what stops the temperatures from getting that i across the north. temperature is around 16 in aberdeen and for belfast. furthersouth, light winds, sunny spells throughout the day, it will feel warm in this item we temperatures widely reaching the high teens to low 20s. overnight snow, showers across north—west scotland, probably more general range to end the night across the western isles and the islands. temperatures, for the most part, around 8— 11 celsius. not a desperately cold start to monday. we

kind of up to 26 by friday. london and the south—east could see 29 or 30 celsius. northern ireland and scotland, a bit more cloud, deal with the sunshine coming through. it will feel pleasantly warm, but those temperatures closer to average, certainly not a heatwave for many across the east north—western areas. that is the latest weather. back thank you very much, thank you. on tuesday of this week it will be exactly five years since one of the uk's worst disasters of modern times — the grenfell tower fire, which killed 72 people. with a public inquiry and police investigation still under way, and nobody charged with any offence, many survivors and relatives of the dead say the long wait forjustice is hindering their ability to heal. ayshea buksh reports. pain and sadness. anger and disbelief. taste pain and sadness. anger and disbelief. ~ :, pain and sadness. anger and disbelief-—

worked for many years in brazil and he was friends with dom phillips. hejoins us now from ukraine, where he is covering the war. good morning and thank you for talking to us. i know you are in a place for the partake in a horror at the moment, but your thoughts obviously, part of your thoughts obviously, part of your thoughts obviously will be with dom. what's he like? ,, , obviously will be with dom. what's helike? , , . he like? massively, ever since the news came. _ he like? massively, ever since the news came. a _ he like? massively, ever since the news came, a week _ he like? massively, ever since the news came, a week ago, - he like? massively, ever since the news came, a week ago, that - he like? massively, ever since the | news came, a week ago, that they he like? massively, ever since the - news came, a week ago, that they had gone missing in the amazon, a group of us, some of whom are a lot closer to what is happening in brazil have been trying to find out what's happening, urging the brazilian government in particular to take notice and to call a search and that has sadly i think been slow and lacking. don was an amazing bloke, i knew him in brazil when there was a group of foreign journalists who had moved to rio dejaneiro to cover the big events, the world cup, and the olympic games and we became a very

close—knit community, notjust close—knit community, not just playing close—knit community, notjust playing football, dom is a great footballer, but going out as a group and enjoying the environment. don was a great outdoorsman and he used to go walking and climbing in the mountains, the hills behind rio and they were really happy times. he is married to a brazilian and stayed on in brazil after a lot of us had left after the olympic games in 2016 and became passionate about the environment, of course what was happening in the amazon under the current brazilian government, the destruction of the amazon, the illegal logging, the illegal mining, all of this that was going on in the amazon and that was his latest assignment, looking at writing a book about sustainable development in the amazon and what is a very lawless area.— lawless area. people who follow brazil and know _ lawless area. people who follow brazil and know a _ lawless area. people who follow brazil and know a bit _ lawless area. people who follow brazil and know a bit about - lawless area. people who followl brazil and know a bit about brazil will know that it is a very dangerous area, when you are away on the amazon away from civilisation,

it's a dangerous country in many places anyway. but the line of work he is involved in, could that have made enemies for him? increasingly so in recent — made enemies for him? increasingly so in recent years _ made enemies for him? increasingly so in recent years because _ made enemies for him? increasingly so in recent years because there - made enemies for him? increasingly so in recent years because there are| so in recent years because there are two groups, they protect both the amazon people and the forest, and the current brazilian government has completely emasculated and underfunded those groups, so travelling and working in the amazon in recent years in particular has become increasingly dangerous. he knew this and there were many armed groups, particularly in the western amazon towards the border with peru where he had been working, indigenous groups are increasingly threatened and those groups, those estate groups that are meant to protect them have been completely underfunded and under resourced by the current brazilian president, and when dom actually questioned the brazilian president a few years ago at a press conference about his amazon policies, gave him short

shrift, and his first answer is it is ours, not yours and there are laws currently going through the brazilian congress that would make it easier for these illegal loggers and miners to go into the amazon, it offers less protection for the indigenous people with whom don was working so it had become increasingly dangerous in recent years and yet still he went in there he went in there because he thought it had a importantjob to do. ltrlul’hdt it had a important 'ob to do. what is our it had a important job to do. what is your assessment _ it had a important job to do. what is your assessment of _ it had a important job to do. what is your assessment of the - it had a importantjob to do. what is your assessment of the speed of the research operation that has been going on in the last week?— going on in the last week? that's been the really _ going on in the last week? that's been the really disappointing - going on in the last week? “tngt�*s been the really disappointing thing. the military and amazon said they weren't going to go out on a full certainty of all from the government, and that seems a pretty lame excuse not to amount —— have mounted a full scale search. i'm not pretending this is an easy area to find somebody but the news since they went missing, given the fact that we know they had been threatened beforehand is really concerning, traces of blood may have been found, we're not sure if other

remains may have been found as well, some are very disturbing picture and the response of the brazilian government i think was slow, to say the least. i government i think was slow, to say the least. :, , :, government i think was slow, to say the least. :, ,~' , :, :, government i think was slow, to say the least. :, , :, :, , :, the least. i will ask you a question about ukraine _ the least. i will ask you a question about ukraine and _ the least. i will ask you a question about ukraine and the _ the least. i will ask you a question about ukraine and the moment. the least. i will ask you a question | about ukraine and the moment but the least. i will ask you a question - about ukraine and the moment but you may have not heard the line this morning, they are suggesting that there remains they found are unlikely to be anything to do with dom or the man he was with, so that if anything, reemphasises the need to redouble their efforts to search and find him. to redouble their efforts to search and find him-— to redouble their efforts to search and find him. that in itself is good news but of _ and find him. that in itself is good news but of course _ and find him. that in itself is good news but of course as _ and find him. that in itself is good news but of course as i _ and find him. that in itself is good news but of course as i said, - and find him. that in itself is good news but of course as i said, this i news but of course as i said, this is a very big area with indigenous groups. the problem is the two of them had left one area and going to a rendezvous in another village last sunday morning that, and that did not happen and there has been no trace or sign of them since which does suggest that more people, more military need to go to the area to try to find out exactly what has

happened to them. the portents are not very good, but that search needs to go on until we know exactly what happened to them. it is to go on until we know exactly what happened to them.— happened to them. it is very worrying _ happened to them. it is very worrying to _ happened to them. it is very worrying to you _ happened to them. it is very worrying to you and - happened to them. it is very worrying to you and all - happened to them. it is very worrying to you and all of. happened to them. it is very i worrying to you and all of don's friends, so our thoughts are with you about. as we have you now, what is the situation like in kharkiv, pertaining to events in the wider country? pertaining to events in the wider count ? , :, :, country? there is fighting going on behind me. — country? there is fighting going on behind me. we _ country? there is fighting going on behind me, we had _ country? there is fighting going on behind me, we had the _ country? there is fighting going on behind me, we had the distant- country? there is fighting going on i behind me, we had the distant sound of shells landing on going off, we are very close to the russian border of corsair, and the fighting is not as intense here in kharkiv as it was as intense here in kharkiv as it was a few weeks ago, and certainly the main theatre of operations is further south in the donbas region but i think the message from the ukrainian government of course is that they need more weaponry. they are suffering a lot of casualties, it is apparent from the work we have been doing in the last week that the ukrainians are taking a lot of casualties, and that appeal for international help for weapons and support still goes out from the

ukrainian government. russia is certainly making much more progress in the south, a couple of cities in the south are under increasing pressure on ukraine has neither the manpower all the weaponry to properly defend those areas at the minute but even here in kharkiv, you can hear thuds and shells going off in the background. take can hear thuds and shells going off in the background.— in the background. take care and thank ou in the background. take care and thank you very — in the background. take care and thank you very much _ in the background. take care and thank you very much for - in the background. take care and thank you very much for talking l in the background. take care and. thank you very much for talking as to this morning. the thank you very much for talking as to this morning.— to this morning. the time now at 738, to this morning. the time now at 738. sports _ to this morning. the time now at 738. sports time _ to this morning. the time now at 738, sports time with _ to this morning. the time now at 738, sports time with gavin - to this morning. the time now at 738, sports time with gavin and l to this morning. the time now at i 738, sports time with gavin and you have tennis to take us off. is another andy murray summer, almost ten years ago that he was doing so well in wimbledon, he is doing so well in wimbledon, he is doing now well in the stuttgart open, after he got past nick kyrgios. murray overcame the australian in straight sets to book his place in today's final, where he'll attempt to secure his first atp tour title since victory back in antwerp in 2019. murray hasn't been at a tour level

final on grass for six years. dan evans is also through to his respective final in nottingham after a straight sets win over america's jack sock. the british number two will face australian third seed jordan thompson. to the football now, and england are yet to register a win in this year's nations league after they were held to a goalless draw by italy at molineux. mason mount hit the bar in the first half, but the best chance of the match fell to raheem sterling who blazed over early in the second half. harry kane started from the bench, and manager gareth southgate feels they have to take their chances when he's not scoring. our captain's goalscoring our ca ptain's goalscoring record our captain's goalscoring record is phenomenal, but we have got to starts read that load, and you know, there are players that are scoring more regularly with their club, and we have got to convert that into international football, we have got to convert that into internationalfootball, and we have got to convert that into international football, and we we have got to convert that into internationalfootball, and we have just got to keep working on getting

them into those right areas. a late equaliser earned wales a 1—1 draw with belgium in their latest nations league match. leicester city midfielder youri tielemans had put belgium ahead, but nottingham forest's brennanjohnson scored his first international goal to secure a point for wales in cardiff. great performance, we scored a goal, created chances, got a free header eight yards out that we should have scored and we got a goal disallowed for offside which is marginal, so i'm really proud of them for that level of performance, and i said to them we don't fear anybody, we respect anybody, and we will go toto with any team. the republic of ireland claimed a first nations league victory with a comfortable 3—0 win over scotland. swansea's michael obafemi scored the pick of the bunch, beating craig gordon from far early in the second half. that came after goals from alan browne and troy parrott gave stephen kenny's side a 2—0 halftime lead. england face an uphill battle to save the second test against new zealand ahead of day three after their opponents made their highest ever score

on these shores. new zealand finished 553 all out with england over 400 runs behind. daryl mitchell once again led the way for the kiwis with a magnificent 190 as the tourists registered their highest test total in england. in reply, england started poorly, losing zak crawley cheaply but ollie pope struck and unbeaten half century as the hosts reached stumps with the score at 90—1. not really bothered about the double, it'sjust nice not really bothered about the double, it's just nice to contribute to the score that helps put us in a game to win the test match, so obviously, very rewarding to get the individual achievement but also just to help the boys out. abs, individual achievement but also 'ust to help the boys outi to help the boys out. a very difficult name _ to help the boys out. a very difficult name to _ to help the boys out. a very difficult name to pronounce | to help the boys out. a very - difficult name to pronounce there, especially this time of the morning stop at the wells fighter won every round of the six round contest, trainer robert mccracken says she will only get better with each fight. need to work on that for the

ireland, scotland, and if few getting into north—west england as well. you can see further southwards it is a dry and fine start to the day. through the rest of the day, showers will turn to thin out a little bit across the north—western areas as we head into the afternoon. also blustery. gusts of winds into around 30 mph, quite blowy. winds further south are a bit later, sunny spells continuing into the afternoon, it is we will see the highest temperatures, 19 and 20, scotland and northern ireland around 16 degrees for many. overnight tonight, so as across north—western areas, later in the night, the cloud will thicken and more general rain pushes into the highlands and the western isles by the end of the night. temperatures 8—11 for most of you. tomorrow, across the north—west we might see a little rain working on across the western isles, the highlands, reaching orkney and shetland late in the day. away from that, a lovely dry picture with sunny spells. the wind is a bit late in scotland and northern ireland. it

should feel warmer here would temperatures 70 degrees in the warmest spots. england and wales seeing the highs temperatures, high teens to low 20s, probably begging about 23 also. tuesday, a similar picture. the threat of a few spots of rain across north—western areas. most of you will have a dry day with someone spells of sunshine breaking through. the damages are climbing higher, 19 the same in newcastle. up to 25 in london and south—east england. forthose to 25 in london and south—east england. for those of you who like the weather hot, gets sorted was the end of the week. my precious slides eastwards. we start to dry southerly winds and that will boost the temperatures in a big way. the heat is going to be concentrated really across england and wales. cloud of up across england and wales. cloud of up to 26 by friday, london and the south—east probably 29— 30 degrees in the hottest areas. scotland and northern ireland, temperatures closer to average for the time of year. where the sunshine breaks through the cloud it should still feel pleasantly warm. the heaters focus across england and wales later

injury, it may be necessary for them to retrain their brain to learn how to use their body again, maybe in a different way than before. there's a new idea called neuroanimation, which is like gaming for brain repair. it is an immersive, emotional and, we are told, enjoyable style of therapy that can have a real impact. what's it say? baby babbles quack, quack, quack. ruby was 2a years old when she lost her leg — a simple trip to the supermarket resulting in a life—changing injury. i was going shopping to buy the stuff for the baby, you know, weaning process, buying him veggies and avocados and what have you. but, yeah, i was in the car park and i was run down by a car. at the time of the accident, ruby'd been carrying 5—month—old son leon, instinctively throwing him to safety. but the crash left her, a nurse on maternity leave at the time, facing a series of operations

and intensive rehabilitation. the first three weeks in hospital, it'sjust a blur. i don't remember waking up, i don't remember who told me that i'd had my leg amputated. in my head ijust thought, "i'lljust learn how to walk again, "i'll get a fake leg, a prosthetic leg, "and then that would be that." i didn't realise how hard it was actually going to be. now at a live—in rehab centre called steps, she's receiving a variety of conventional treatments, as well as a new video game inspired therapy called mindpod. dolphin squeaks wow. this room's amazing. yeah, it is. the painting is beautiful as well, isn't it? it is, it's lovely. yeah. dolphin squeaks mindpod is a form of what's known as neuroanimation. it gamifies treatment by using motion sensors and cameras to track the patient�*s movements

as they direct this dolphin. i'm just learning how to balance my body. along with traditional methods like physiotherapy and hydrotherapy, it aims to help improve the physical and cognitive functions of people who've experienced a serious injury. did you ever imagine, at the start of your recovery, that you'd be using games? no, i had no idea, especially when i first came to steps, i never imagined intense rehab to be games. were you a gamer before? no, no. i wasn't into gaming before the accident. how much do you feel that you're just instinctively moving and not thinking about it? yeah, because you're so into the game. and being in that room, with the lighting and colours, it takes you away, so it's helping, yeah, balance, coordination, stability, core stability.

it reflects on, like, say, if i was in the kitchen, reaching for things up in the cupboards, down below. and ruby's commitment, combined with the access to this technology, has accelerated her progress. wow, that was great! how do you feel at the end of a session? tired. laughs tired — you don't realise how much you've actually worked out on my arms, my balance — evenjust standing. yeah. and you didn't really think about the fact that you were... crosstalk no, you're just into the game. already, some studies have shown that mindpod can be twice as effective as traditional rehab treatments... 0h! don't know how i hit that one! ..and there are more studies under way. whether it's for chronic post—stroke symptoms, parkinson's, ms or ptsd,

the team behind this neuroanimation hope that they will soon understand the full range of illnesses it can treat. this type of experience is really a digital therapeutic approach, and digital therapeutic means really that you can prescribe, as a doctor, software as a pill. so, there is this intricate mapping between your movements and the dolphin's movements that you have to learn and perfect and become more skilled at. so this creates a feedback loop of learning and enables exploration, very much in the way a child learns to move their arms about, you know, early in their infancy. my goal is — my long—term goal that i want to achieve — is to be able to pick the baby up, my baby up from the floor. and, hopefully, ruby's access to digital therapeutics will play its part in making that a reality sooner rather than later.

oh, my gosh! what a story — and how incredible is ruby? i know, she was an absolute joy and so grateful for all the positives, really a lesson to all of us. and good news, she is recovering well — she managed to go home for a weekend and in about a month or two, she's going to have the cage off her leg. oh, how fantastic! did you try the mindpod yourself? i did, i had a go off—camera and it's actually a lot harder than it looks. chuckles it takes a lot of concentration, which makes you stop thinking about how your body is moving, which is part of the idea. yeah, how brilliant is that? we're learning so much more about how technology can be used in rehabilitation, and omar mehtab has been looking into a new form of light therapy, which, it's hoped in the future, could be used in rehabilitation, but for the moment, is being used to hone the performance of athletes. response time — that is the key metric, isn't it? how fast you can react with some games being won by split—second decisions. but it's easier to train

other areas of your game, like run more to increase your speed. # oh, yeah... strength — lift weights. but how do you increase your reaction speeds, apart from just playing more? well, there's this. this is okkulo — a system that retrains sports players by using unique light levels, where the speed of visual processing is slower than at normal light levels. each stage offers a varying degree of difficulty, signified with a different colour — from blue, to green, to red and, finally, near black. i'll be honest — at first glance, i was quite sceptical of this. it's just changing lights, after all. but after checking it out sunderland's own luke o'nien — oof — and he clearly performed better when the lights were turned back on...

i've been in here pretty much every day of every hour of every second. i think when i first came in here, evenjust with the lights on at aomph, the balls were just bouncing off my shins and, you know, slowly, i've adjusted, my body is moving quicker and i'm dealing with faster speeds in this. it is a big part of the modern game, isn't it, how we can implement all the technology and data we have at the highest level of football to make marginal gains. and if that's on the analytics side or the data side or biometrics, whatever it may be, i think technology's here to stay and it is the future of the game. the good thing about this is it's very similar to the game, if not pretty much identical, in terms of the ball coming at you at speed, you've got to be able to deal with that and then execute. and football is not the only sport it is useful for. up to now, we've done cricket, baseball, table tennis, boxing and soccer. ball sports are ideal because it's hand—eye coordination.

every time we get somebody in, that's the first thought — "oh, well, "you're just changing the light levels, "or this, that and the other. "you're just going to switch the light off." it is the complete opposite to that. there is a whole biological process here we're working on. but how does it actually work? it is to do with the colour and how the colours interact with the eye and the photoreceptors in the eye. but it is also to do with the level of darkness. if you lower the light levels, your visual system slows down. so, in sport, what you are predicting what is going to happen 200 milliseconds into the future. at low light levels, you have to predict what's happening 250 milliseconds into the future because the speed of processing is slowed down. so, if you're interacting with the ball under those conditions, you have to speed up your responses to interact with it successfully. so when you go into the light, it seems like you have more time to respond. now, in order to see how effective this system is, first, i'm going to have to set a benchmark. my touch is as heavy as me! laughs should take my time — i'm getting flustered.

pass, pass, pass! yeah! sorry, sorry! sorry, jack! phew! ok, time to see if okkulo makes a difference. ohh! that was legit! ohh! it's a bit tougher. i don't know what it is — i am backing away. it's the light — it's messing with me a bit. and now, we've turned the lights back on. so, let's see if there's a difference. i'm taking in my stride, my breathing has calmed down, i'm waiting for it to come to me, i'm assessing the speed, i got better as it went along. ok, so there's a bit of difference — not as much as the pros felt, but still noticeable. now, after going through the system, the effects are supposed

to last around two weeks. but also, it's said to help people with a degree of cognitive issues such as adhd or brain trauma, but okkulo are still researching this area. when we're working with the athletes, we're getting to see all of these effects outside of sport. we're seeing really intense focus. we're linking up with two universities to make sure that we fully understand what is going on there, but there is a real pattern of significant importance in and around what we're doing with these light levels. so, maybe it is not about advanced robots or fancy tech. it's something as simple as light that can unlock the next level in players. maybe i'll carry on playing for a bit after they turn off the lights at the five—a—side! that's the most i've moved in six months. that's a fascinating one, isn't it, and interesting to see how it develops. that's omar and that's it for the shortcut of click. if you fancy more from us, you can have it. it's on iplayer, waiting for you right now. we'll be back next week

but, for now, thank for watching. good morning, welcome to breakfast with tina daheley and rogerjohnson. our headlines today: fierce street fighting in eastern ukraine — president zelensky says his forces are "holding on", but warns troops are running low on ammunition. an escalation in the war of words over rail strikes — the transport secretary says agency staff could be allowed to fill in for workers who walk out.

after five competitors die at the tt races on the isle of man — this programme hears a call for the organisers to review their safety measures. a plan for healthier, more sustainable food will be set out by the government this week — we look at how it could change our eating and shopping habits. andy murray reaches his first tour—level final on grass in six years, getting the better nick kyrgios to continue his winning streak in stuttgart. good morning. scotland and northern ireland having quite a cloudy day today with a number of showers. england and wales, for the most part it stays dry with some warm spells of sunshine. in the week ahead, for the first time this year i'm going to have to use the h word. yes, for some of us, the weather is going to get hot. join me later for the full forecast.

it's sunday the 12th ofjune. our main story. the ukrainian president has said his troops are running low on ammunition as they try to repel russian invaders in the east. volodymyr zelensky says his forces are holding on for now — as they engage in fierce street fighting — but he appealed for more help from western powers. helena wilkinson has the latest. this is the east of ukraine, in the donbas region, it's one of the areas russian forces have focused their firepower. ukraine soldiers are still holding out here, but the intense fighting goes on. ukraine's army says it is running low on artillery shells. the ukrainian governor of the luhansk province claims they could hold on to the besieged city of severodonetsk, if western allies sent them enough long—range artillery. in ukraine's capital, kyiv, the european commission president met with ukraine's president, there to discuss ukraine's request for eu membership.

president zelensky argued that the eu's future depended on letting his country in. 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 eu will decide next week whether ukraine should be given candidate status. you have done a lot in strengthening the rule of law but there still needs to be reforms implemented to fight corruption, for example. translation: very fruitful talks with the president of the european commission ursula von der leyen, were held in kyiv today. i'm glad to note her sincerity. it is the european commission that will prepare a conclusion about our application. ukraine has provided all the necessary answers in a very short time and it was done in a proper way.

in the south of the country, fighting has left villagers devastated. homes and churches have been destroyed. ukraine now waits to find out if the eu will allow it to become a member. in the short—term, though, the country says it needs more weapons, and quickly, from the west, to be able to defend itself. helena wilkinson, bbc news. our correspondent joe inwood is in kyiv. joe, we're hearing reports of a large fire at a chemical plant in severodonetsk. what more can you tell us? our correspondent joe inwood is in kyiv. joe, we're hearing reports of a large fire at a chemical plant in severodonetsk. what more can you tell us? is the this is the azot plant and we

country in donetsk and places around there. is there a sense that that is there. is there a sense that that is the endgame like they did in crimea a few years ago? absolutely. at the start of the conflict we saw the russians trying to come in from all sides but that failed and they will repelled around kyiv and since then they have regrouped and retrench their positions around the east and their positions around the east and the sounds we have heard coming out is what they will do is focus just on the donbas, which is the current strategy. but the feeders that might not be there endgame. t(since strategy. but the feeders that might not be there endgame.— strategy. but the feeders that might not be there endgame. once they have successfully taken _ not be there endgame. once they have successfully taken the _ not be there endgame. once they have successfully taken the donbas - not be there endgame. once they have successfully taken the donbas region i successfully taken the donbas region they will keep going and i think it is fair to say it is the current objective but may not be their final objective. the transport secretary grant shapps

has said the government is preparing to lift a ban on agency staff filling in for striking workers. the change, if it happens, will not come in time to affect the planned walkout by 40,000 rail workers at the end of this month. let's speak to our political correspondent pete saull. pete, the war of words over these strikes is heating up, isn't it? yes, and it comes on top of government plans to ensure there is a minimum level of service and will strike days and perhaps unsurprisingly the rmt union has reacted strongly this morning saying it will resist any attempts to make strike action illegal and will be backed up by the wider trade union movement and that feeling. this is the idea in the 2015 conservative manifesto to repeal legislation that came in under tony blair when he was by minister that banned agency workers from stepping in and strike

days. it could come relatively quickly and they say not in time for those strikes, the first of which is due to happen in nine days. there is also a wider question about when there will be enough agency staff to fill the gaps and for that they would feel comfortable with crossing picket lines on strike days. the other thing that may well twist some of those union workers arms this morning is the idea also from the transport secretary grant shapps that they would be able to do overtime on strike days to make up some of the money they would lose from withdrawing their labour on strike days which would mean restricted time tables on non—strike days. none of this serves to sort out the fundamental problem here, of major disruption in the real network and of the problems that have caused the dispute in the first place. the rail companies who need to cut costs

and the workers who want to oppose clearly job cuts and the workers who want to oppose clearlyjob cuts and as they see it a pay freeze at a time of the cost of living crisis so time running out to avoid what may turn out to be a summer of discontent on the public transport network. investigators searching for a british journalist who went missing in the amazon rainforest say they are doubtful that remains found in a river could be human. brazilian police had announced the discovery of "organic material" near where dom phillips and another man disappeared last sunday. however, two officers involved in the case have told reuters news agency that the material's location and condition make it unlikely the united states will no longer require air travellers

to have proof of a negative covid—19 test before entering the country. a usjudge has dismissed a rape lawsuit against the footballer cristiano ronaldo — after accusing the complainant's lawyer of relying on leaked and stolen documents. a woman accused the manchester united and portugal player of attacking her in las vegas in 2009. he denies the allegation — and has never been charged — but they reportedly reached an out—of—court settlement in 2010, and this lawsuit was an attempt by the woman to seek further compensation. the united states will no longer require air travellers to have proof of a negative covid—19 test before entering the country. officials said they were dropping the requirement due to the "tremendous progress" the country had made in the fight against the virus. the travel industry has been pushing for an end to the policy, which they say has deterred bookings. the queen had a lot to celebrate last weekend — now she has another achievement to chalk up, as the second—longest serving monarch in world history. as of today, her majesty has been on the throne for 70 years and 127 days. only louis xiv of france

has ruled for longer. his reign began when he was just four years old — and lasted more than 72 years. it the government will publish its food strategy tomorrow — which is expected to contain measures which will encourage us to eat less meat. plans for a tax on sugar and salt — however — are understood to have been dropped, as many families are already struggling with rising food bills. katharinejenner is a nutritionist and the director of the campaign group, action on sugar and salt. if this has been dropped set against the backdrop of a rise in the cost—of—living can understand why the government may have made the choice, can you understand? yes, but it is a political matter. it is not what should be attacks on healthy

food. there was an understanding that there would be a certain tax paid on food and that was borne by the sugar industry and we saw that with soft drinks which are to be taxed and a bit of money was raised and that went _ taxed and a bit of money was raised and that went back _ taxed and a bit of money was raised and that went back into _ taxed and a bit of money was raised and that went back into funding - and that went back into funding health services and that went into extending universal free meals health services and that went into extending universalfree meals in the food innovation fund and education schools and if you don't have taxation on schools there is no money being raised and all that money being raised and all that money is going back to the food industry to spend on advertising to try and get us to consume more so to such a shame they have not seen the value of this tax and the fact it is not meant to impact individuals who are suffering the cost of inflation in food and is meant to be for the benefit of everyone's health and wallets. ~ benefit of everyone's health and wallets. 9 :, .: , :, wallets. when the manufacturers are also seeinu wallets. when the manufacturers are also seeing the _ wallets. when the manufacturers are also seeing the cost _ wallets. when the manufacturers are also seeing the cost of _ wallets. when the manufacturers are also seeing the cost of the _ wallets. when the manufacturers are also seeing the cost of the raw- also seeing the cost of the raw materials and commodities rising and

then put attacks on to them that might put taxation onto them, that will not help the consumer? abs, will not help the consumer? product with a lot of sugar paying more tax would become very cost prohibitive if they carried over the cost of the tax and carried it onto the consumer. they have to remain fairly equitable with own brand products and people will stop seeing the value of being such a premium for these big brand products if the cost even more than they needed to, it would be fairly obvious you are not putting value in the products you are just paying for pure ingredients.— you are just paying for pure ingredients. you are just paying for pure incredients. :, :, :, :, ingredients. you also alluded to the issue of school _ ingredients. you also alluded to the issue of school meals. _ ingredients. you also alluded to the issue of school meals. one - ingredients. you also alluded to the issue of school meals. one of- ingredients. you also alluded to the issue of school meals. one of the l issue of school meals. one of the ideas was to raise the level below which would qualify for free school meals. would you hope that are still included? , :, :, :

the report also recommends we should be making food supplies more sustainable — which includes eating less beef but more fish, venison and game. professor carol wagstaff is the research dean for agriculture, food and health at the university of reading. what do you make of the strategy when it comes to sustainability and the environment? i when it comes to sustainability and the environment?— the environment? i think it really could have _ the environment? i think it really could have gone _ the environment? i think it really could have gone an _ the environment? i think it really could have gone an awful - the environment? i think it really could have gone an awful lot - the environment? i think it really i could have gone an awful lot further and we were expecting to see more leadership from the government. although reducing meat in the diet is really, really important i think we need to focus on the quality of meat we produce and the supply chain used to produce it. for example, some of you may look forward to a nice big fry up on a sunday morning. there is a fair chance the sausage you are about to consume is not 100% meat already and actually replacing some of that meat with alternative plant —based ingredients for example would be absolutely fine and really

good for reducing our footprint but when it comes to other kinds of meat we need to be really conscious of the supply chain that was used to produce that animal and what it did for the local environment. farmers have such an important role looking after our countryside, preserving biodiversity, and we can't take farming away from the farmers. brute farming away from the farmers. we exect farming away from the farmers. we expect ministers to say we should be eating more venison as well as meet like proteins developed from algae amongst other things what do you make of that? i amongst other things what do you make of that?— amongst other things what do you make of that? i think telling people the have make of that? i think telling people they have to — make of that? i think telling people they have to eat _ make of that? i think telling people they have to eat more _ make of that? i think telling people they have to eat more venison - make of that? i think telling people they have to eat more venison and| they have to eat more venison and other types of game shows a complete lack of understanding of our current food system and a complete lack of understanding about asking people to eat something new. catherine was talking about the cost of living crisis people are facing. if you are

on a really, really tight budget each week you don't do something in your basket you're not sure whether your basket you're not sure whether your family will eat or not, you just can't risk your budget on it. so if we are going to start eating these different types of meat and meat alternatives, we need to have cook along is with people that others trust. accounts for the government saying you need to do this. venison is a very healthy meat and it is fine as a meet goals but you can'tjust put it on a supermarket shelf and expect people to buy and consume it when they have no idea what to do with it and cook at our fn anyone will like it and they will not take the risk with the budget so it is a very simplistic overview. :, :, ,:, ,:, , budget so it is a very simplistic overview. :, :, , :, overview. you mentioned sausages and imaaine overview. you mentioned sausages and imagine people — overview. you mentioned sausages and imagine people having _ overview. you mentioned sausages and imagine people having a _ overview. you mentioned sausages and imagine people having a fry _ overview. you mentioned sausages and imagine people having a fry up - overview. you mentioned sausages and imagine people having a fry up this - imagine people having a fry up this morning will necessarily realise 100% of that meat will not necessarily be sausage meat but the meat in the sausage will be the sausage with more other stuff in it,

working north west and this is bringing widespread showers. you can see them on the radar picture getting into northern ireland, frequent one spreading right across scotland in one or two possible for north west england. otherwise it is drier for the sake of plenty sunshine for england and wales in just a bit of fair weather cloud. stays blustery northern areas with gusts of wind running into 30 mph today which will push the showers through quickly. tempt is around 15 or16 through quickly. tempt is around 15 or 16 degrees, scotland and northern ireland, may be 17 in aberdeen. across england and wales we will see higher temperatures probably peaking at around 23 in the warmest spots later. tonight are few more showers across north—west scotland before a general band of rain arrives towards the end of the night for the western isles in the highlands. otherwise a dry night with clear spells and temperatures eight to 11 celsius. tomorrow a similar picture. we will start off with wayne across the north west, this time for parts of

the western isles, highlands, working towards orkney and shetland. away from that future, a lot of dry weather and the best of the sunshine across england and wales where we will see terms just climb low 205 with lighter winds for scotland and northern ireland village start to feel warmer at 17 or 18 degrees the top temperature. tuesday, the odd spot of rain from western scotland but otherwise largely dry day for most with dry spells breaking through the morning cloud and starting to get warm again. temperatures in the high teens was parts of scotland and northern ireland and peaking around 25 degrees in london and south—east england and it gets even hotter later in the week. this area of high pressure slips eastwards which allows us to drop southerly winds and those winds will boost the temperatures. the hottest weather will be focused across england and wales saw cardiff up to 26 on friday, london and the south—east around 2930 but in scotland and northern ireland temperatures will be close to normal but still with a

hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and tina daheley. the isle of man tt came to a close last night — but tragically five competitors died over the last two weeks of racing. that's the highest death toll at the contest in more than 30 years. welsh rider mark purslow,

frenchman cesar chanal and northern ireland's davy morgan all died in crashes — as did roger and bradley stockton, a father and son from crewe. ben croucher reports. motorsports provide few tests quite like the isle of man tt. more than 100 competitors returned for racing this year. five never made it home. speeds approaching 200mph on 37.75 miles of closed public roads, the circuit is one of the most iconic in motor racing — and one of the most deadly. this year's tt has been very much marked by the tragic incidents that we've had, and that more than anything else will probably be the way this year in particular is remembered. and from the start, it's plunging away down bray hill... first held in 1907, the tourist trophy has long attracted riders and fans the world over. for many, the tt is the isle of man. but since its inception, 265 riders have lost their lives

in races on the island — 1982 the last fatality—free year. despite the risks, its appeal continues to endure. the challenge of the course and the fact that it's so long, there's nothing else like it in the world. that's the appeal to the riders. because they're pushing themselves, they're pushing their machines to the limits of what they're capable of. it's how it's always been. i don't see that that's going to change any time soon. organisers told the bbc... but, on a course lined with lamp posts, trees and brick walls, can it ever be safe?

to make it safe, it never will happen. the tt in particular is almost 38 miles long and you're wondering what way i would say they could make it better, i would probably start by may be saying that that's enough of sidecar racing at the isle of man tt. i think they are too unstable for the lumps and bumps on thejumps around too unstable for the lumps and bumps on the jumps around that 38 mile circuit and i think that's something the organisers will have to take a long, hard look at. the final race on saturday passed without fatality but not incident. one rider was airlifted to hospital. competitors are well aware of the ever—present dangers. we know there's a chance of fatality, we accept that, our families accept that. but unfortunately, it's the love of the sport, and that's what we live for. and it's what they die for — for the ultimate challenge in motorcycling continues to carry the ultimate price. ben croucher, bbc news.

let's speak now to former isle of man tt winner and motorcycling commentator, steve plater. good morning and thank you for taking the time to talk to us. as we just heard, the contributor saying it's something you look for but it's becoming all too frequent that people die doing this sport. do you think safety needs to be looked at again? think safety needs to be looked at aiain? , :, :, think safety needs to be looked at aiain? :, think safety needs to be looked at auain? :, :, :, , again? good morning. fortunately the 2022 there was _ again? good morning. fortunately the 2022 there was a _ again? good morning. fortunately the 2022 there was a new _ again? good morning. fortunately the 2022 there was a new safety - 2022 there was a new safety management system introduced that's working very hard behind the scenes. and yes, listening to all those stats, for the fan or the person that's not really a fan of the isle of man tt, those stats are quite high but of course for the competitors and everyone involved, they surely know the risk. but the

passion carries on and they are still keen to go and sign up and race the isle of man tt course. someone earlier said it was the most dangerous road race circuit in the world, would you agree with that? t world, would you agree with that? i would, yes. as has been said, it's 37 .75 miles, there are a lot of hazards and it's the toughest course in the world but that's partly the attraction of course for the competitor racing the course. and also for the fan watching. you obviously _ also for the fan watching. you obviously commentate now, you used to compete. how was that conversation with your loved ones, the fact you are going to ride and they knew and you knew that you might not come home? t’gre they knew and you knew that you might not come home? i've raced all the disciplines _ might not come home? i've raced all the disciplines on _ might not come home? i've raced all the disciplines on short _ might not come home? i've raced all the disciplines on short circuits, - the disciplines on short circuits, 24—hour racing, and all the road race events internationally which some are mass starts, the isle of man tt is a time trial where you set

rest of the day's sports news. andy murray will face world no 10 matteo berrettini in the final of the stuttgart open, after getting past nick kyrgios. it's great to see him back, its been a while and i was thinking early when we saw that documentary when he went for the hip operation, it was really serious. to see him competing again is great. he's playing matteo berrettini after getting past nick kyrgios. murray overcame the australian in straight sets to book his place in today's final, where he'll attempt to secure his first atp tour title since victory back in antwerp in 2019. murray hasn't been at a tour level final on grass for six years. dan evans is also through to his respective final in nottingham, after a straight sets win over america's jack sock. the british number two will face australian third seed jordan thompson. to the football now — and england are yet to register a win in this year's nations league after they were held to a goalless draw by italy at molineux. mason mount hit the bar in the first half, but the best chance of the match fell to raheem sterling

who blazed over, early in the second half. harry kane started from the bench — and manager gareth southgate feels they have to take their chances when he's not scoring. his record is phenomenal but you have to start to spread that load and there are players that are scoring more regularly with their club. 9 �* :, :, :, :, club. we've got to convert that into international _ club. we've got to convert that into international football. _ club. we've got to convert that into international football. we've - club. we've got to convert that into international football. we've got i club. we've got to convert that into international football. we've got to j international football. we've got to keep working on getting into those right areas. a late equaliser earned wales a 1—1 draw with belgium in their latest nations league match. leicester city midfielder youri tielemans had put belgium ahead, but nottingham forest's brennanjohnson scored his first international goal to secure a point for wales in cardiff. a great performance. we've scored a goal, we've created other chances, we had a free header eight yards out we had a free header eight yards out we should have scored. and we had an off site which was marginal. i'm

really proud of them for that level of performance. we respect them as a team but we don't fear anybody. we'll go toe to toe with any team. the republic of ireland claimed a first nations league victory with a comfortable 3—0 win over scotland. swansea's michael obafemi scored the pick of the bunch, beating craig gordon from far early in the second half. that came after goals from alan browne and troy parrott gave stephen kenny's side a 2—0 halftime lead. it was a tough one to put your finger on exactly what went wrong. it was a really good performance from ireland under really bad performance from scotland. the first time in a little while we've had a big blow, small recovery and another big blow, small recovery and another big blow. i'm interested to see the character of the group and how we deal with it. and my own character as well, everyone has to step up, take responsibility, and try and get three points with armenia. england have a job on their hands — to save the second test against new zealand after the tourists posted their

highest ever score on these shores. the kiwis finished 553 all out, england ended day two on 90—1, as patrick gearey reports. second day of the second test, england so far second best. they were haunted by regrets. they might have got daryl mitchell early, instead he made a century, number two of the series and they should have got him again on 104. underneath that was fielder, matthew cox, who became briefly a sieve — no—one could believe their luck. meanwhile, tom blundell bundled one away to reach his 100. he was out not long later but new zealand were flying, hurtling towards a50 with mitchell launching them around nottingham. heads up, in fact, sign him up. not enough englishmen have clung on. joe root was a guilty man on day one. at least michael bracewell did not get away. by the time mitchell and new zealand were all out, they had made 553.

over to england, who had been made to watch batting look easy, knowing it is not. just ask zac crawley, hard luck, hard work. through fight and fortune, they made it through to 90—1 at the close. onejob done, just the three days to go. patrick gearey, bbc news. let's see what they can do later on. olympic champion lauren price got her professional career off to a flyer — with a dominant win at wembley arena. she beat iceland's valgedur gudstendottir. have i got that right this time? the welsh figher won every round of the six—round bout contest. trainer rob mccracken says she's only going to get better with each fight. i thought performance anxiety over saying that name! charles leclerc will be aiming to close the gap to max verstappen in the formula 1 drivers' championship when he starts this afternoon's azerbaijan grand prix from pole. the ferrari driver put in an impressive lap in qualifying, to beat red bull's sergio perez by more than a quarter of a second.

championship leader verstappen will start from third in the other red bull. george russell is the best placed briton in fifth, two places ahead of his mercedes team mate lewis hamilton. leicester tigers will face saracens in the final of rugby�*s premiership at twickenham next weekend. george ford helped the tigers to a 27—14 victory against northampton, in his final home game at welford road. leicester hold the record for the most premierships titles with ten. saracens overcame three yellow cards and a late fightback from harlequins to seal their place. ben earl crashed over in the final minutes to complete a hatrick. south african charl schwartzel has won the biggest individual monetary prize ever awarded at a golf event. the 2011 masters champion claimed the controversial saudi—led liv golf invitational in hertfordshire and picked up around $4 million in prize money. schwartzel won by one shot at the centurion club. it'll be interesting to see how that tournament series develops across

the coming weeks. more players will be going over, which causes such a huge political fallout effectively with the tours they are on. 50. with the tours they are on. so, ou've with the tours they are on. so, you've conquered _ with the tours they are on. 59>, you've conquered icelandic names this morning. you you've conquered icelandic names this morning-— you've conquered icelandic names this morning._ the i this morning. you nailed it. the word that _ this morning. you nailed it. the word that used _ this morning. you nailed it. the word that used to _ this morning. you nailed it. the word that used to bring - this morning. you nailed it. the word that used to bring out - this morning. you nailed it. the word that used to bring out in i this morning. you nailed it. the word that used to bring out in a| word that used to bring out in a sweat, defibrillator. ear; word that used to bring out in a sweat, defibrillator.— word that used to bring out in a sweat, defibrillator. say it slowly and confidently, _ sweat, defibrillator. say it slowly and confidently, that's _ sweat, defibrillator. say it slowly and confidently, that's the - sweat, defibrillator. say it slowly and confidently, that's the key. i and confidently, that's the key. gudstendottir. delegate. i'm glad lauren price won that one! —— there we go. this is where we say goodbye to roger — you're off to read the news for sophie raworth. now here's chris with a last look at the weather. thank you. some warm sunshine to come today across a good part of the country. it's been a lovely start so far but looking ahead through the week, towards the end of the week it's going to get really quite hot with temperatures in the hottest areas hitting 32. the hottest

weather we've seen so far this year. before we get there, today across the northwest we do have quite a bit of cloud to come with a number of showers. staying quite blustery as well. across england and wales, for the most part dry with sunny spells. the winds that that like the further south go. the satellite picture at the moment chose to stick a cloud working into the north west. but at the moment is bringing widespread showers and we are picking up things on the radar and moving across northern ireland and scotland. one or two into north—west england just for a time as well. i think the showers will be most widespread through the morning. in the afternoon they will start to thin out. all the while, stein blustery with gusts of wind into the 305 and ph. a few sunny spells later on. in england and wales mostly dry with warm sunshine and light winds as we go further south. temperatures probably peaking at around 23 in the warmest spots. overnight, a few

showers coming and going in the north—west but later on we'll see some rain edging into the western isles in the highlands. otherwise dry with clear spells and temperatures between eight and 11. tomorrow, overall we are looking at lighter winds. weather something comes out feeling warmer at the northern areas. we start off with rain across scotland. that's going to be working across the highlands into orkney and shetland late in the day. sunny spells elsewhere and again with those lighter winds starting to warm up. up to 18 in aberdeen, 17 in belfast. he will see temperatures into the low 205 once again. tuesday, similarforecasts, a few showers and otherwise dry with some sunshine coming through. starting to get a bit hotter, at this stage temperatures of 22 in birmingham, 25 in the london area. later in the week as this area of high pressure moves across further

eastwards, we start to draw up some southerly winds and it's those winds that will really boost temperatures. at the moment the heat is concentrated across england and wales. cardiff finishing the week at 26 but london and the south—east could hit 29 or 30. scotland and northern ireland, a bit more cloud, still feeling warm weather sunshine p°p5 still feeling warm weather sunshine pops through but temperatures closer to normal. that will do nicely! the cost of living crisis is prompting all sort of money—saving measures in households across the uk — and sadly one of those might involve getting rid of pets. that might explain why the rspca has reported a surge in abandoned rabbits over the past year. the organisation says they are more expensive and time—consuming to keep than you might think, as dave edwards reports. welcome to the rabbit unit at the
