tonight at ten, 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's my main worry every day right now. we'll have more findings from the survey, which suggests many people are skipping meals to save money. also tonight...

gatwick airport cancels hundreds of holiday flights this summer. it says staff shortages are still a major problem. covid infections jumped 43% in the week of the four—dayjubilee bank holiday, according to the latest figures. that one sounded so good! england's cricketers break their own world record for runs scored in a one—day international. and today's warm weather in the south of england has now been officially classed as a heatwave. coming up in the sport later in the hour on the bbc news channel, callum tarren is making a name for himself in the second round of the us open. the englishman's battling to stay at the top of the leaderboard. welcome to bbc news at ten. 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. 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. 0bviously your tinned food, your packet food, cereal, things like that... at the east durham trust community centre, manager lindsay is shocked by what she is seeing in terms of who needs help with food supplies and with massive debts. this is the front line of a cost of living crisis.

people who have never ever thought they would come to the trust for support before are contacting us and saying, i really need your help. actually, i used to previously donate food on a regular basis and i need some help and ifeel embarrassed to say that, but i do. as prices rise, fewer people can afford to donate but demand is up 30%. i think we are getting to the point where people can't afford the very basic necessities in life, and even, do i go along to the hospital, get on the bus to the hospital to go to appointments because i have to weigh up the books and i don't know if i'm going to buy food. they will stay at home and not go to a hospital appointment because they can't afford the bus fare? yeah. while thankful for the government's support, the energy price surge is affecting everyone. people are ringing us and saying, my energy provider has taken a sum of money out of my bank and it's totally wiped my bank account out and we have to tell people to cancel the direct debit. this surge in the cost of living is hitting deep and it's hitting wide, too, affecting working households that never would have considered themselves anything other

than comfortable before now. it could also be impacting upon the great british public�*s expectations of what and how much a government intervenes in a crisis, and right now the critical question economically is how much workers expect wages to bridge this gap. 0ur survey shines a light on that link, suggesting that over eight in ten britons think wages should go up with prices and over half of workers said they were planning to ask for a pay rise this year, with 35% saying they would ask for their pay to go up at least as much as prices — currently 9% and rising. hundreds of pounds of help towards bills is on its way to every household, says the treasury, but wages should not be expected to match inflation. there is not an automaticity, if you like, between inflation and pay setting, and we need to be very careful to avoid, as i say, fuelling an inflationary spiral in a way which actually is to everyone's detriment if we allow it to run away from us

and that is what the governments of the '70s failed to address. back in peterlee, janine is from a working family, but says those in old mining communities like this feel abandoned again. everyone is struggling at the moment. it's not really a nice time and i definitely didn't think at the age of 36, we would be back in this situation where my parents were in. and you feel it is like that? i feel like that, yeah. abandoned? yeah, absolutely. i've never had to worry about... because i always thought, myself and my partner, we work full time. i thought i'd never have to worry about food. but that is my main worry every day right now. people are resilient through hardship, but with petrol prices at new records and international gas prices now surging again, there are limits. faisal islam, bbc news, in county durham. 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 majority of flights over the summer would operate as normal. there's been plenty of chaos at airports already this year at easter and half—term, with over 150 flights cancelled during the week of the platinum jubilee alone. usually, up to 900 flights operate each day from gatwick over the peak summer period. the new capacity limit now means injuly, it'll be up to 825. and it'll be a maximum of 850 in august. that is 50 flights out of the usual system during the peak. that means the projection now is that some 3 million, roughly, passengers per month will go through the airport in the summer. gatwick are saying that these 3 million at least can look

forward to more certainty around the service and not expect short—term cancellations within a few days of their holiday taking place. that is their holiday taking place. that is the theory. but what are people saying at gatwick itself? let's try and make colleague theo leggett, who is getting reaction. what gatwick has done here is basically place a lid on the number of flights that can operate out of the airport, but it's going to be up to the airlines themselves to decide which services are allowed to fly and which ones are cancelled. if you take easyjet, they are the biggest operator here. they are going to bear the brunt of the cancellations. i hear that they are going to choose the roots which are busy as to where they have most services. for example, if you have seven flights a day to malaga, a popular holiday destination, you can cancel one but put the passengers on other flights so that the disruption is kept to a minimum. not allairlines so that the disruption is kept to a minimum. not all airlines have as many services. they are not all

going to be able to do that. easyjet thinks it can and that disruption will be minimised, but some people will be minimised, but some people will lose out. thousands of passengers are threatened with destruction. but gatwick is gambling on the fact that taking some pain now could avoid chaos during the summer months, which is what would happen if we had last minute cancellations.— happen if we had last minute cancellations. ., ., ., cancellations. theo, thanks for the latest. cancellations. theo, thanks for the latest theo _ cancellations. theo, thanks for the latest. theo leggett. _ covid infection levels in the uk have risen again. the latest estimates suggest that around 1.4 million people had coronavirus last week, which includes part of the platinum jubilee period. this is up about 43% from 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 baa and ba.5. even in those who've had a previous omicron infection, it is quite possible that you can get reinfected. and in particular, we have this baa, ba.5 sub—variant circulating now. they're quite different from the original omicron variant, and therefore, they are able to evade your past immunity. vaccines may not be able to 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 6 million, 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 to be better prepared. borisjohnson has made a surprise visit to ukraine's capital, kyiv, his second since russian forces invaded the country in february. the prime minister held talks with ukraine's president zelensky, and proposed a uk—led operation to provide military training. mrjohnson suggested the programme could train 10,000 soldiers in 120 days to take on russian forces. 0ur correspondent nick beake is in kyiv. nick, what did you make of the prime minister's visit today?— minister's visit today? huw, the prime minister _ minister's visit today? huw, the prime minister was _ minister's visit today? huw, the prime minister was certainly - minister's visit today? huw, the prime minister was certainly a l minister's visit today? huw, the i prime minister was certainly a long way from some criticism back home that he had missed a meeting of his

own mps to be here. but in kyiv, he was given a warm welcome, standing alongside president zelensky, who told him he had offered unparalleled support for ukraine. borisjohnson, support for ukraine. boris johnson, of support for ukraine. borisjohnson, of course, the leader who took his country out of the european union, volodymyr zelensky once his country to join the eu volodymyr zelensky once his country tojoin the eu in volodymyr zelensky once his country to join the eu in these volodymyr zelensky once his country tojoin the eu in these unique circumstances. today you can get a boost from the european commission, which gave its approval to the idea of ukraine embarking on that path to full eu membership. of course, the prime minister's visit comes just a day after other european leaders were here. ukrainian officials say they are grateful for any show of solidarity, any show of strength. but if you talk to them, they will stress time and again that it is weapons from the west that they really need in this hour of need as they continue this brutal fight against russia.— they continue this brutal fight against russia. they continue this brutal fight auainst russia. w �* ., ~ against russia. nick beake with the latest in kyiv- _ against russia. nick beake with the latest in kyiv. let's _

of knowledge and experience. and you would cut it in a longitudinal axis... his foundation runs courses in war zones from syria to yemen to south sudan, and now the war in ukraine. i know what it's like to be under fire, i know what it's like to be in an operating theatre which is being shelled. you are trying to do your best to try and save the life of the patient in front of you but here, what we can do here is we can train, i think we've trained 70 surgeons in six days and they have seen exactly what to do. some of those here are front line doctors. where was this? momentarily back from the fighting where ukraine is losing too many soldiers. others are civilian medics learning new skills because their hospitals are full of people with new kinds of injuries. it's a horrible situation when you see the young guys with mangled extremities, with shrapnel wounds,

with amputation. it'sjust disaster. the big draw might be david nott, but the star of the show is heston, a lifelike medical dummy with 50 separate surgical procedures replicating complicated war wounds. costing tens of thousands of pounds, it is unique, part of a system that allows nott and his team to teach life—saving skills. travelling across ukraine, it is tiring work for these veteran war surgeons. their last destination — the front line city of kharkiv, battered by russian shelling, with thousands of casualties being treated by overstretched local doctors. i wanted to bring the teaching to them, i wanted them to really understand why you should do these sorts of operations, how you can do them and if you do them properly, you will get a good result. most rewarding for dr nott — medics here putting complex

techniques learned on his course into practice. now you do it. in this case, david handing control of a limb—saving operation to the ukrainian surgeon. it might be more front of class than front line these days for david nott, but it's the quickest way of passing on his breadth of skills to surgeons here who need them most. wyre davies, bbc news, kharkiv. the founder of the wikileaks website, julian assange, can be sent to the us for trial after his extradition was approved by the home secretary, priti patel. mr assange is currently being held at belmarsh prison in south london, after spending almost seven years sheltering inside the ecuadorian embassy in london. he is accused of leaking thousands of classified us documents related to the wars in iraq and afghanistan, which the americans say endangered lives. the uk government says mr assange has 1a days to appeal

against the decision, and that the move to extradite him is compatible with mr assange's human rights. his wife gave this reaction. we're not at the end of the road here. we're going to fight this. we're going to use every appeal avenue, and we're going to fight. i'm going to spend every waking hourfighting forjulian until he's free, untiljustice... ..is served. stella morris, the wife ofjulian assange. the spread of avian flu is worrying the scientific community. the world's largest colony of northern gannets is found on the bass rock, in the firth of forth. avian flu has been detected among the seabirds nesting there, and there are concerns about the possible impact on the entire colony, as our scotland correspondent lorna gordon reports. 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! thanks, maggie. maggie sheddon 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. what are we seeing this year? any differences? big differences. i've come up here where we had breeding birds two weeks ago, and i've 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. 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.

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. first detected in shetland, this unprecedented summer breeding season outbreak is spreading further every day. the risk to human health is low, but people are being warned not to touch dead and dying birds, and experts are calling for a national surveillance programme and response. we are in uncharted territory. we don't know how far it's going to go. i am really worried about these indications. i think they're incredibly serious and we're already seeing population level impacts happening right now. chicks have now started hatching on the densely populated bass rock. clinging onto hope in a breeding season, it's farfrom clear how many can survive. lorna gordon, bbc news, on the bass rock.

is a cold front pushing southwards, a band of cloud with it into the morning and a muggy start in the south. along that band of cloud on that front, we will see some outbreaks of rain developing through the day, quite soggy in parts of wales, the midlands and east anglia. to the north and west about, sunny spells with the odd show in scotland and northern ireland, temperatures for tomorrow down on today 16 in birmingham tomorrow whereas today we were in the 30s. still the wedge of red in the south—east, the heat clinging on for one more day and where we have that heat in the south—east corner, we could see some thunderstorms getting going into saturday evening. and in the early hours of sunday, more showers and storms close to the south—west of england and the channel islands. this is the set up for sunday, some showers and storms rumbling around in the english channel, some pushing into southern england but for most, sunday is not bad, spells of sunshine, the odd shower but northerly winds cutting off that supply of heat from the continent.
