today at six, yet another record high for prices of petrol and diesel, as the cost of living crisis takes its toll. as prices increase sharply, stretching the budget in millions of households, the advice from government is not to demand big pay rises. what we can't do is have unrealistic expectations around pay which do, in turn, prolong and intensify this inflation problem. but a new bbc survey suggests the vast majority of people are increasingly worried about the cost of living. myself and my partner, we work full—time. i thought i would never have to worry about, you know, food, but that is my main worry every day right now. we'll have more findings from the survey, which suggests many

welcome to bbc news at six. there's more evidence today of the sharp rise in the cost of living, with the price of petrol and diesel breaking new records, and the rate of inflation heading to levels not seen for decades. ministers have urged people to be "sensible" in their demands for higher wages, but a major new survey for the bbc indicates the concerns that people have about their household finances. the firm savanta spoke to more than 4,000 people. 81% of those questioned said they were worried about their current financial situation. and when asked if they had ever skipped meals to save money, 56% said they had done so in the past six months. 0ur economics editor faisal islam reports. your tinned food and cereal, things like that... fit your tinned food and cereal, things like that... �* , your tinned food and cereal, things like that - -— like that... at this durham trust community _ like that... at this durham trust community centre, _ like that. .. at this durham trust

faisal islam, bbc news, in county durham. it's been an exceptionally warm day in many parts of england and wales. london and the south east of england were the warmest places, with the temperature exceeding 32 degrees. a health alert was issued across those areas, with people urged to check on the vulnerable and be aware of signs of heat exhaustion. but it was much cooler across northern ireland and scotland, with highs of 17 degrees in glasgow and 18 degrees in belfast. the temperature record for the year was broken for the third consecutive day. scientists say periods of intense heat are becoming more frequent and are lasting for longer because of global warming. and today's maximum temperature, 32.7 degrees, was recorded at santon downham in suffolk. it exceeded 2021's highest uk reading of 32.3 degrees. but the heatwave is due to end over the weekend, as our correspondent

sizzled in the sunshine. a level three heat health alert has been issued here, also covering the south—east and the east of england. it means high temperatures could impact health services. water sports kept some people in derbyshire cool. temperatures here were not quite as high as down south but still high enough across much of the north of england to prompt a level one heat health alert. but it's not all ice lollies and lidos. there has been rain in scotland and northern ireland, keeping temperatures down. time to splash in the paddling pool at battersea dogs and cats home to stop this rescue dog overheating. hard to believe it is still only mid—june. with months more of the summer to come, the question is — how many spells of weather like this are ahead?
6:09 pm
here at the cambridge university botanic gardens, temperatures peaked today at 32 celsius, and 2pm. to put that into context for you, according to the met office, the average temperature for this part of the country at this time of year is 20 celsius so already top temperatures and we are only in mid june. celestina, thank you for the latest, celestina, thank you for the latest, celestina 0lulode there. there's worrying news for thousands of people who've booked holidays this summer after gatwick airport said it would limit the number of flights in the peak summer period because of a shortage of staff, especially among ground handlers. britain's second—busiest airport said the revised plans were meant to create a more reliable service and it insisted that the vast
6:10 pm
majority of flights over the summer would operate as normal. but that still leaves uncertainty for many of people, with lots of questions needing answers. including a lot of people who might have booked flights. before i talk to a colleague at gatwick, i thought i might share some figures which might help us understand what is going on. normally there are 900 flights going in and out of gatwick, but a 20 —— flights going in and out of gatwick, but a 20 -- 825 flights going in and out of gatwick, but a 20 —— 825 is a new cap, 75 fewer in and out. it might not sound a lot but multiplied that against the aircraft seating, it's a lot of people. and if we look at august 50 fewer, down to 850 in august. what is the new cap we are talking about in terms of passengers? it is 3 million per month in the summer peak
6:11 pm
and gatwick is a saying that the whole point of this is that the 3 million passing through will have more certainty about their travel will not have to worry so much about flight cancellations. is that true? let's talk to our correspondent at gatwick, theo leggett, and what can you tell people who are worried about flight arrangements? well, i'm sorry about that, we were waiting to see what he had to say about the flight and if we catch up with theo again, because i know a lot of us will have questions about flight arrangements at gatwick and other airports around the country, we will come back to that if we can put apologies for the technical hitch. the prime minister, borisjohnson, has made an unexpected visit to kyiv, where he is having talks with president zelensky. mrjohnson previously visited the ukrainian capital in april. european union leaders,
6:12 pm
some of whom were in kyiv yesterday, have approved ukraine's application to be a candidate forjoining the eu. let's speak to nick beake, who's in kyiv for us. what did you make of this visit today? what did you make of this visit toda ? , ., , what did you make of this visit toda ? , . , . , ~' , today? this was a very well kept secret until _ today? this was a very well kept secret until the _ today? this was a very well kept secret until the prime _ today? this was a very well kept secret until the prime minister'sj secret until the prime minister's official twitter account posted a photo of him with president zelensky with the caption, it is good to be in kyiv again. a short time later, we and a few unsuspecting local residents were watching the two men strolling about in the capital here. this is of course a country at war. borisjohnson said he wanted to demonstrate the level of support the british people have for ukraine and also talked about this training he will be offering to the ukrainian soldiers in the future. as for president zelensky, he described mr johnson as a friend of freedom and went on to say he was grateful for
6:13 pm
his unparalleled support for ukraine. i think that will be something the prime minister will welcome because of course just yesterday the leaders of france, germany and italy were here, making similar visits and today ukraine got a big boost from the european commission when it gave the green light to this initial process. of course in the future, ukraine wants tojoin course in the future, ukraine wants to join the course in the future, ukraine wants tojoin the eu but if course in the future, ukraine wants to join the eu but if you talk to officials here privately, they say they are very grateful for any show of support but really they are up against it in the donbas region where the fighting against the russians is brutal, and intense, and they say they are outgunned. in the short term they want as many weapons as possible to be arriving here and much quicker than they are currently. much quicker than they are currently-— much quicker than they are currentl . ., , ., much quicker than they are currentl. . , ., ., ., currently. nick, many thanks again for the latest _ currently. nick, many thanks again for the latest from _ currently. nick, many thanks again for the latest from kyiv. _ moments ago i was trying to talk to our correspond in gatwick, kepa, about the plans to cap flights in the summer and there will be a lot of questions among viewers about whether their flights will be

is thinking, the gamble it is making is thinking, the gamble it is making is that a certain amount of inconvenience now could potentially prevent absolute chaos and last—minute cancellations during the busiest period of the summer. maw; busiest period of the summer. many thanks once — busiest period of the summer. many thanks once again, _ busiest period of the summer. many thanks once again, theo _ busiest period of the summer. many thanks once again, theo leggett, our correspond in gatwick. a former soldier, collin reeves, has been found guilty of murdering his neighbours after a long—running dispute about parking. reeves, who's 35 and a veteran of the war in afghanistan, stabbed jennifer and stephen chapple while their children slept upstairs. he attacked them inside their home in norton fitzwarren in somerset. reeves had denied murder but was convicted at bristol crown court, as andrew plant reports. you are under arrest at the minute. collin reeves, arrested outside his home in somerset. he had just killed his next—door neighbours. stephen and jennifer chapple's children had been asleep upstairs at the time.

the spread of avian flu is worrying experts who are studying important colonies of birds off the coast of britain. the world's largest colony of northern gannets is found on bass rock, in the firth of forth. avian flu has been detected among the seabirds nesting there, and there are concerns about the likely impact on the colony. 0ne expert has told the bbc that the current outbreak of bird flu is very significant in scale, and poses a real danger, as our scotland correspondent lorna gordon reports. there are images of lots of dead birds in this report. the bass rock, painted white with the gannets that nest here. trips onto the island have been suspended, but taking safety precautions, we were given access to see what is starting to unfold. right, that's me solid on the rock! maggie shedden has been a guide on the outcrop for 20 years. normally you would have come in here and that whole area where you landed would have been covered with birds. it wasn't.
6:19 pm
what are we seeing this year? any differences? big differences. i have come up here where we had breeding birds two weeks ago, and i have come up here and now we don't. we have empty nests, and, yes, we have birds that have succumbed to an influenza. it is upsetting to see this in an area where we know there was really healthy, breeding birds. it is still too early to say what the effect of avian flu will be on this magnificent and globally significant colony. the numbers of northern gannets here are robust, but there are clear signs that some of the birds here have succumbed to this disease already. these pictures showjust how much the colony is already thinning out. what's the worst case scenario? i can't tell you what the worst case scenario here is. is it going to be 20%? is it going to be 50%? is it going to be more of the colony on the bass rock? because we are literally in a situation we have never experienced before. really?
6:20 pm
yes. it is very worrying times. first detected in shetland, this unprecedented summer breeding season outbreak is spreading further every day. the range of seabird species affected is growing, too. experts fear some may struggle to recover and are calling for a national surveillance programme and response. we have internationally important colonies of seabirds in the uk and this is unprecedented. we are in uncharted territory. we don't know how far it is going to go. the indications, you know... i am really worried about these indications. i think they are incredibly serious and we're already seeing population level impacts happening right now. the risk to human health is low, but people are being told not to touch any dead or dying birds. even before this outbreak, many seabird species were already facing other pressures. chicks have now started hatching on the densely populated bass rock, clinging onto hope in a breeding season it is far from clear
6:21 pm
how many can survive. lorna gordon, bbc news, on the bass rock. covid infection levels in the uk have risen again. the latest estimates suggest that around 1.4 million people had coronavirus last week, a period that includes most of the platinum jubilee holiday. this is a rise of about 43% on the week before. 0ur medical editor fergus walsh is here with his analysis. covid has largely dropped out of the headlines, but infections are once again rising across the uk. the office for national statistics' weekly survey — the most reliable indicator of covid levels — suggests that last week one in 50 people in england was infected, one in 30 in scotland, and one in 45 in wales and northern ireland. the increase is being driven by two even more contagious sub—variants of 0micron called ba.4 and ba.5.
6:22 pm
even in those who've had a previous 0micron infection, it is quite possible you can get reinfected. in particular, we have this ba.4, ba.5 sub variant circulating now. they are quite different form the original 0micron variant, and therefore they are able to evade your past immunity. vaccines may not stop you getting infected, but crucially they give strong protection against severe covid. more than 50 million people in the uk have had at least two doses of covid vaccine — that's more than nine in ten of those aged 12 and over. globally, two—thirds of the world's population have had at least one dose. but that drops to just one in six people in low income countries. in the uk, there are still a few hundred covid—related deaths per week. but that's way below the level we saw in january last year. the official covid death toll in the uk has risen to almost 180,000. globally, it stands at more than six million.
6:23 pm
but studies suggest global deaths could be around three times that number due to patchy reporting. the deaths don't capture the full extent of it. the learning loss, the depression, the deficits we'll be paying off forever. the economic damage has been absolutely horrific. so how does covid compare with other pandemics? swine flu killed around half a million people globally, but spanish flu — just after the first world war — was far more deadly, with at least 50 million deaths. the black death — bubonic plague — in the 14th century killed up to 200 million people, half of europe's population. the lesson from history is, a future pandemic could be far more deadly than covid, so the world needs

the uk's representative, sam ryder, came second in this year's competition. cricket, and england have broken their own world record for the highest score in one—day international cricket, after reaching 498—4 against the netherlands. it beat the 481—6 that england scored against australia in 2018. blue skies, but for england it was soon raining sixes. as what began a game of cricket ended up more a spot the ball competition. their opponents, the netherlands, reduced to rummaging in the undergrowth as a blend of obliging bowling and quite staggering hitting saw records smashed to all corners. centuries for dawid malan and phil salt, before 162 from jos buttler took things to truly dizzying heights. a case of new balls please, as time and again buttler blazed them out of the ground. six more. they needed a special
6:26 pm
net to find that one, and that was before liam livingstone got going, thrashing 32 runs in one over. half a dozen more! the travelling fans were loving it. they needed two sixes off the last two balls to be the first team to reach 500. they just fell short. the crowd boo because it's only four! but they rounded things off in style. 498, a walloping one day record and for england fans, quite exhilarating entertainment. andy swiss, bbc news. kate bush wasjust 19 when she achieved her first number one in the uk singles chart in 1978. she's now 63, and in the past few minutes it's been confirmed that she's back at number one, with a song called running up that hill, first released in 1985, and nowa big hit again afterfeaturing in the netflix show stranger things. our music correspondent mark savage has the details. # if only i could. # i'd make a deal with god...
6:27 pm
in 1985, running up that hill got to number three in the charts. # running up that hill... 37 years later, it's gone two better, knocking harry styles off the top spot, and it is all thanks to this. the netflix show stranger things, where kate bush's song saves the life of sadie sink�*s character after she succumbs to a dark force. her friends realise that the best way to get her out of this state is to play music, and it gives her the strength and the power to be able to overcome that moment, which i think metaphorically is beautiful, it is absolutely beautiful. # you don't want to hurt me... over the last seven days, running up that hill has been streamed 57 million times around the world, as a new generation of fans discovers its charms. when it came out all those years ago it sounded brand—new, no—one else could ever have made it.
6:28 pm
it will sound like that in ten years time, it sounds like that now. she's totally separate to everybody else, in terms of what she does. there's no—one else like kate bush, so it sounds new now. 44 years into her career, running up that hill has earned kate bush a million in royalties over the last month. she's not the only one to benefit. katie smith is a kate bush tribute act. # out on the wily windy moors... we've seen a rise in ticket sales, which has been really amazing. just to be having a chat with people about kate and her music again has been really, really lovely, and i think with this resurgence we're going to see a lot more younger people in the audience. kate bush approved every single use of her song in stranger things, but she couldn't have anticipated what would come next. in a statement on friday, she said she was overwhelmed by the affection for the song, adding "i feel really moved by it all." can you remove your headphones, please? mark savage, bbc news.
6:29 pm
time for a look at the weather. ben is here. i thought i would start ljy ben is here. i thought i would start by talking about the source of the heat that some of us have experienced, today. the source of that heat has been in the south—west, where temperatures have been extraordinarily high. it is very early in year to have seen temperatures like this. france had its earliest 40 degrees on record. paris got 35 degrees and some that heat has been scooped northwards into england and wales but also the channel islands, jersey having its hottestjune day on record. just above 33 degree, not so though, further north and west, here a different wind direction, westerly winds bringing cooler condition, if you spent your day in western scotland you would wonder what the fuss was about. that cooler weather will sink south—east wards, behind the band of cloud and rain which will continues its journey overnight. behind it things turn
6:30 pm
cooler and fresh, nine or ten degrees but ahead of that band of rain, 18 in the centre of london, thatis rain, 18 in the centre of london, that is the overnight low. it could be uncomfortable for sleeping, so, tomorrow, we have this weather front, this is our dividing line, between the cooler, fresher and windy conditions in the far north, dividing that from the hot conditions that are going to cling on across the south—east corner, so one more hot day for some. along the line of the weather front, we start off with cloud, a bit of patchy rain but that rain likely to invigorate through the day so wet weather through the day so wet weather through parts of wales, the midlands to lincolnshire, to the north—west showers into the north—west of scotland. spells of sunshine as well but here temperatures mid to high teen, a cooler day than in the midlands, that heat clinging on in the south—east, some up to round #29d degrees and that could spawn just the 0tt thunderstorm across part of east anglia, parts of the south—east as we head into the evening and then overnight, another
