5:05 pm
kyiv? the first one was back in april, and now he has popped up again next to president zelensky and another surprise visit. we only really find out what's the prime minister is there, once he's been and gone, and he has today been reaffirming that support for ukraine and support with standing side by side with president zelensky, but also announcing more military aid and training programmes with the ambition to train 10,000 soldiers every four months or so. so reaffirming that commitment to ukraine. now, the timing is interesting of all of this. the prime minister, we expected him today to be at a completely different event, more local in the uk and doncaster, where a group of conservative mps got together the
5:06 pm
northern research group in don cancer —— doncaster, talking about things that matter to them. boris johnson was expected this afternoon around the early afternoon that he wouldn't be there, and reports found out he was in ukraine instead. what's interesting about that is in doncaster, with those mps, his own backbenchers, he probably would've faced a few tricky and awkward questions from them, things about how is the government going to help with the cost of living crisis, what is it doing about inflation, the railing strikes, cancelling people's holidays. that would've been a much more difficult afternoon for him. instead, he is in ukraine talking about a subject which he clearly looks to be more comfortable about. shows him as a world leader on global stage taking part in helping
5:07 pm
president zelensky in the war effort against ukraine. rather than focusing on those more tricky domestic issues that he has waiting for him when he gets back to the uk. thank you very much. we are going to go to kyiv in a few minutes to talk tojoe. the europeans union recommended ukraine would get you status. in brussels today, the european commission president had this to say. commission president had this to sa . ~ ., commission president had this to sa , ~ ., " ., commission president had this to sa. . «a, ., commission president had this to sa. . ~ ., ., .,, commission president had this to sa. . «a, ., ., say. we all know that ukrainians are read to say. we all know that ukrainians are ready to die — say. we all know that ukrainians are ready to die for— say. we all know that ukrainians are ready to die for the _ say. we all know that ukrainians are ready to die for the european - ready to die for the european perspective. we want them to live with us the european dream.
5:08 pm
president putin has been speaking this afternoon. he has hit out at western sanctions, calling them �*mad and thoughtless�*. he's been giving a speech at an economic forum in st petersburg, where he also had this message for the west. translation: i reiterate, these are fundamental- and revolutionary changes. changes, you can sit it it would be a mistake to think during these you can sit it out and everything will get back to as it was. it won't, and yet it seems as if the ruling elites of certain western countries are labouring under these delusions, choosing to ignore the obvious, persistently clinging to the ghosts of the past. in particular, they think the domination of western global politics and economics is a constant. but nothing is eternal.
5:09 pm
but our colleagues are not simply denying reality, they are trying to change the course of history, thinking of the past categories, labouring under their own delusions about countries that live outside the so—called gold pavilion. they think the rest of the world is periphery, their own backyard. gatwick said it was trying to create a more reliable service. the the airport that's been reduced to 850 in august. telling them to make sure their timetables were deliverable. the decision means thousands of people will have their holiday lands disrupted.
5:10 pm
this is what and airports want to avoid. 0ver easter and around thejubilee holiday, hundreds of flights were cancelled. some while passengers were preparing to board. people want to travel, but staff shortages have become a serious problem. gatwick says it will restrict the number of flights allowed to operate from the airport injuly and august, removing up to 75 per day. industry experts say more than 1000 services will be cut through the summer, potentially affecting 250,000 passengers. the terminals here at gatwick are already pretty busy, but in the summer months, there are going to be a whole lot more people coming through these doors, and bosses here are worried that if systems break down, there could be queues, congestion and more last—minute cancellations. gatwick�*s decision means will have to cancel some services in advance. that will inevitably affect some travellers�* summer plans, but the gamble is that
5:11 pm
by accepting a limited amount of pay now, the airlines will be able to avoid more serious disruption later. you don't hear from those people because they are enjoying their holidays. i'm hoping these cancellations will give us the knowledge and time to prepare that we need. ., ,_ knowledge and time to prepare that we need. . , ., we need. easyjet is gatwick's bi est we need. easyjet is gatwick's biggest customer _ we need. easyjet is gatwick's biggest customer and - we need. easyjet is gatwick's biggest customer and will. we need. easyjet is gatwick's biggest customer and will be | biggest customer and will be affected the most, but today, the airline said... added... this travel agent believe they make the correct decision. there's huge criticism coming after the the _ there's huge criticism coming after the the may have term, and by making

"0ur

unfortunately, the passenger later passed away. "our thoughts are with their families and friends at this difficult time." let's talk to ellen tracy, a reporterfor the bbc�*s access all podcast, which is very worth listening to. how are you responding to what happened to this gentleman? mr; responding to what happened to this centleman? g , ., .,. responding to what happened to this centleman? g , ., , ., ,, gentleman? my stomach 'ust dropped. ha enin: gentleman? my stomach 'ust dropped. happening to — gentleman? my stomach 'ust dropped. happening to a — gentleman? my stomach 'ust dropped. happening to a fellow — gentleman? my stomach just dropped. happening to a fellow disabled - happening to a fellow disabled person of the time when air travel is so difficult for disabled people and when the aviation authorityjust sent a letter to airports asking them to do better for disabled customers. we don't know what happened exactly, but devastated. let me ask you about some of your own experiences cannotjust on planes, but also trains, when it comes to you wanting to get off and get on. comes to you wanting to get off and net on. . , , ., ,

collin reeves�* wife was upstairs at their home at the time of the attack. she said she heard screaming and then realised something was wrong when she came downstairs and saw her husband�*s ceremonial dagger was missing from the wall. jennifer and stephen both suffered six stab wounds around the upper body, which caused their deaths, and we believe those injuries were inflicted while they were in their own living room. the speed of the attack and the injuries he caused

to stephen and jennifer chapple was at the extreme end of the scale that i�*ve seen while investigating murders. after his arrest, in police custody collin reeves appeared confused, saying he didn�*t understand why he was there.

he�*s been involved in the case for ten years. he will appeal, but... the home secretary won�*t be sending julian assange anywhere other than rwanda for quite some time. he�*s going to appeal. what will happen, and it needs the explanation, the first case, he won. it was thought he was likely to commit suicide. that finding was rejected by the higher courts, but that means that the other argument he has will spring back, and after we decided —— have to be decided by the high court, and they have very strong... this affects his freedom of speech under article ten of the human rights act, america claims he�*s not

high court. it could involve an appeal to the supreme court by either side that loses it. it could go to the european court. so, it�*s actually going to be quite a while before his case is settled. he is of course not an american or a british citizen. he�*s australian. there is a new government in that country elected a week or so ago, and the government may have something to say. so, all i�*m saying is that you can�*t draw any conclusion from the predictable decision today that simply sets and train a group another appeals.— simply sets and train a group another appeals. thank you very much. damon _
