12:00 pm
this is bbc news — these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the world. the british government is to trial a scheme allowing asylum seekers who cross the english channel in small boats to be electronically tagged. when people come here illegally, when they break the law, it's important that we make that distinction. that's what we're doing with our rwanda policy, that is what we're doing with making sure asylum seekers can'tjust vanish into the rest of the country. an explosion and gunfire at a sikh temple in kabul — the latest attack on afghanistan's religious minorities. supermarkets and utility companies should be helping people struggling with soaring prices —
12:01 pm
that's according to the uk government's new cost of living adviser. police in brazil confirm a body found in the remote amazon rainforest is the missing british journalist — dom phillips. we will hear about a game changer device designed to help people living with tourette syndrome if it works, it will be really good, because it will mean i can do those things i haven't been able to do before. i will be able to experience that "childhood magic." hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. some migrants who cross the channel in small boats will be electronically tagged, under a 12—month pilot scheme in england and wales
12:02 pm
run by the home office. ministers say tagging will help maintain contact with asylum seekers who reach the uk by what they call dangerous routes. critics say people who have fled war and persecution should not be treated in the same way as criminals. simonjones reports. another busy week for the border force in the channel. more than a thousand migrants brought to shore after being picked up at sea. the government says it will seek to remove those who have passed through several safe countries before claiming asylum in the uk, and as part of a year—long pilot scheme, some of those awaiting deportation will be fitted with electronic tags. officials say there's a greater risk that migrants facing removal will abscond. launching the project, the home office says, "there has been an unprecedented growth in irregular migration." the pilot will test whether electronic monitoring "can improve "and maintain contact with asylum claimants who arrive in the uk "via unnecessary and dangerous routes." for those facing removal, "there may be an increased risk of absconding "and less incentive to comply with any conditions of immigration bail."
12:03 pm
the first to be tagged are set to be the asylum seekers who successfully challenged their removal to rwanda this week, the flight to kigali grounded following last—ditch legal challenges. it's not clear how many people will be tagged in the pilot project or how keen immigrationjudges will be to introduce electronic monitoring as part of any bail conditions. people who don't comply could be returned to detention or prosecuted. but the refugee council says it's appalling that the government is intent on treating people who have fled war, bloodshed and persecution as criminals. i think this is a nasty, callous, cruel way to treat people who through no fault of their own have had to flee for their lives to try and find a country that should be welcoming. simon jones, bbc news. the tagging isn't necessarily in itself_ the tagging isn't necessarily in itself a — the tagging isn't necessarily in itself a deterrent but i think the fact that — itself a deterrent but i think the fact that if we have able tests send

12:05 pm
it's important that we make that distinction. that's what we're doing with our rwanda policy, that's what we're doing with making sure that asylum seekers can'tjust vanish into the rest of the country. borisjohnson. meanwhile, the leader of the uk opposition — sir keir starmer — says the scheme shouldn't be adopted. i don't want to see anybody making that dangerous journey across the channel, and i absolutely want to see a clampdown and end the trafficking, the criminal gangs that are running this. that requires a grown—up serious response, working with the french authorities and cracking down on the gangs upstream. i don't think the government's plans are going to achieve that. in the contrary, they're actually asking the national crime agency, the one agency that can actually do this work breaking these gangs, they're asking them to plan for significant cuts. the home secretary priti patel has described the ruling by the european court of human rights — which grounded the first plane due to take asylum—seekers to rwanda — as "scandalous." the flight had been due to
12:06 pm
take off on tuesday night before the court intervened. in an interview with the daily telegraph, ms patel said she believed the decision had been politically motivated. militants have attacked a sikh temple in the afghan capital kabul. two people are said to have been killed. the attackers threw hand grenades at the building but the taliban say a car bomb detonated before reaching the temple. the attack is said to be over now, with the authorities carrying out a clearance operation. here's the latest from our correspondent secunder kermani who's in kabul. well, the attack began around 6.30 in the morning, local time, and it seems the assailants tried to force their way into the compound housing this gurdwara, or sikh temple, using hand grenades. and according to taliban officials, guards then opened fire on the assailants, forcing them to detonate a car bomb
12:07 pm
they had prepared before it reached its target, but that still sent huge plumes of black smoke into the sky and there were, for a number of hours, the sound of gunfire and further explosions coming from the site. around an hour ago, though, the taliban said that they'd fully completed a clearance operation of the site. all the assailants had been killed. as you say, from the information they've released there were two casualties, one sikh civilian, an elderly man — it appears he was praying at the time, according to some reports, inside the gurdwara — and one member of the taliban security forces who was assisting in the operation tackling the militants. as to who's responsible, there's been no claim so far, but all suspicion will be that it's the work of the local branch of the islamic state group. they've repeatedly targeted afghanistan's tiny sikh community in the past, too — another attack on a temple, a gurdwara, back in 2020, and a suicide bombing in the eastern city of jalalabad back in 2018, as well. secunder kermani reporting.
12:08 pm
president putin has described the sanctions imposed on russia because of its invasion of ukraine as insane. he said the measures had failed to work, and were impacting the west instead. his comments came as borisjohnson announced that the uk will lead a major training operation for ukrainian soldiers. meanwhile, russia has accused lithuania of trying to strangle the territory of kaliningrad by bringing in restrictions on rail cargo traffic. kaliningrad's governor said he was seeking clarification from the european union about the apparent blockade, in relation to sanctions over russia's invasion of ukraine. well, this has been a week where european leaders have tried to show their solidarity with ukraine by number of visits here.
12:09 pm
first we had the french, german, italian and romanian leaders in town to meet president zelensky and yesterday boris johnson was a that about uk would last until the country prevails. president zelensky, told him that his support for the country had been in parallel. the british also came with an offer to train up ukrainian troops, apparently 10,000 ukrainian troops every four months would be given specialist training in medical situations and also in dealing with explosives, also cyber threats, too. now, this has been an important week because it's also marked the start of the process, it would seem, for ukraine starting on the journey to becoming a member of the european union because that's what president zelensky believes is in is in the country's best long—term interests.
12:10 pm
in the here and now, though, in the middle of this brutal fight with russia, in the east of the country in the donbas reason, the ukrainians say they need my heavy weaponry and need to arrive much quicker and they are calling on their european partners to send more because at the moment ukrainian say they are heavily outgunned and some key ukraine down at locations by ten to one or maybe even 20 to one and we know they are losing hundreds of troops every day so they say the best their allies can do in the here and now is to send these weapons to them. the uk government's new �*cost of living' adviser has said businesses are "obliged" to help people hit by soaring prices. david buttress, who co—founded �*just eat,�* was appointed this week for six months. he said he would focus on convincing food shops, utility companies and the leisure industry to cut costs for consumers. our political correspondent, ione wells, has been speaking to him. talk to anyone on high streets up and down the uk, and everyone is thinking
12:11 pm
about the cost of living and what changes they can make. i've definitely cut down on fuel and eating out. being careful about how much electricity i use, but i don't think i'm cutting back that much. turning out lights and trying to - get my daughter to turn her fan off at night, and things like that. people are changing how much they buy but can't control how much goods cost. that's something the government's new cost—of—living tsar, david buttress, wants to change. he founded the delivery chain just eat, but will now have a desk here at the heart of government. but he says his aims are not to change government policy, but to make food, utilities and leisure companies cut their costs to help consumers by the time he leaves the role in the six months�* time. i want to work with the bigger industries to make sure that we help people to soften the blow of that, to make their money go further. if you think of all the the money that's spent on marketing and doing deals to promote some of the leisure big activities that british people enjoy, well, let's take some of that money,
12:12 pm
let's refocus it onto what really matters to people, which is making prices more competitive. he's not always been a fan of the government, tweeting in the past that decades of neglect by the conservatives have been a contributing factor to child poverty. so how does he feel about advising them now? you have to bear in mind that i had never met any of the team at number ten, least of all, obviously, the prime minister, and i think it says everything about this government and the prime minister, that, actually, they've put someone like me in place who really cares about it and wants to make a big impact in this area. what's not clear is how he will get businesses on—board and whether they will ask for anything from government in return. his ideas have been welcomed by the trades union congress, but they argue price cuts won't be enough without wages rising. anything that helps hard—pressed families, that keeps down costs is going to be welcomed, but i'm afraid these comments ignore the reality that our cost—of—living crisis is actually a wages crisis.
12:13 pm
we've had the biggest squeeze on wages in this country for 200 years. real wages are well below where they were in 2008 in real terms. and so what we need to see from governments and also from employers is what they're going to going to do to boost the money in peoples' pockets, to boost wages and to give britain a pay rise it really needs and deserves. it's been extremely difficult... the government has announced a package of support, including a £400 discount on all energy bills in october, and payments of £650 on people on means—tested benefits. but the new advisor argues it's now time for the private sector to come to the table. ione wells, bbc news. well, meanwhile tens of thousands of people are expected to join a protest march in central london right now, calling on the uk government to do more to help tackle the cost of living crisis. trade union leaders, front line workers and community organisations will be among those at the demonstration, demanding what they say must be a "better deal" for workers struggling to cope. we've got tens of thousands of people coming from every nation in the uk from all walks of working life and their coming together to tell the government and tight fasted
12:14 pm
employers that enough is enough, but working people need to maintain their standard of living. they've had over a decade of real cuts and freezes to pay and they can't take any more, so it's a very simple message that none us wants to see a country where nurses and social workers are having to go to food banks to get by, to earn a living and have to work for a living in order to achieve a fair wage. the rmt union says that talks to prevent rail strikes in the uk, which are planned for next week have failed and they will now go ahead. thousands of people will walk out in a row about pay, jobs and conditions. network rail said about half of all rail lines will be closed
12:15 pm
on the 21st, 23rd and 25th ofjune. brazilian police have confirmed that the remains of one of the two bodies found in the remote amazon rainforest are those of the britishjournalist, dom phillips. the second body — believed to be that of indigenous expert bruno pereira — is still being examined. earlier this week, a suspect confessed to burying the bodies. his brother has also been arrested. here's our south america correspondent, katy watson. the grim news confirmed — dom phillips�* family can now, in the words of his wife, ale, say goodbye to him with love. these are the two men as their friends and family want to remember them — dom phillips, a passionate journalist writing a book on saving the amazon. his travelling companion, bruno pereira, was an indigenous expert who knew the community so well and was loved by so many here. the authorities are still trying to establish whether the human remains also include those of bruno pereira. suspect amarildo da costa de oliveira confessed to the crime and lead the search teams to the place he buried the two men. a difficult location, two miles inland from the river, and they needed the help of helicopters, sniffer dogs and divers, but the police said
12:16 pm
they still hadn't located the boat belonging to mr pereira that the suspect admitted he'd sunk. authorities are also looking for a third suspect, jeferson da silva lima. they say he's currently on the run. the area where the two men disappeared is vast, remote and lawless. on the border with colombia and peru, there are illegal fishermen and poachers and drug trafficking, too. indeed, bruno's work trying to protect the indigenous indeed, bruno's work trying to protect the indigenous communities from illegal activities made him enemies. he'd been threatened in the past because of his work. police, though, say the investigation suggests the suspects acted alone, not with a criminal organisation behind them. but, that was rejected by univaja, the association of indigenous
12:17 pm
communities, which had taken part in the search and had been calling for more to be done to find their friend bruno and his travel companion, dom. they believe it was a crime planned in detail. katy watson, bbc news. a new device designed for people living with tourette syndrome is being described as a "game—changer" by campaigners. the wearable gadget aims to reduce the involuntary sounds and movements, known as tics, by intercepting signals to the brain. it's currently being tested in a uk—wide clinical trial. here's navtej johal. 13—year—old milo loves drumming, drama and defeating his enemies in video games. four years ago, he was diagnosed with tourette�*s syndrome. his mum says at the time she was devastated. you sort of go through a period of, sort of...grief, if i'm honest.
12:18 pm
you know, you get a diagnosis that you don't know much about — i didn't know anything about it. and, you know, you're scared and you're worried and you're like, "what's going to happen?" when i was diagnosed, ithought, "oh, god, what am i going to do? "i'm going to be bullied for this." i feel like just shortly after that, i think, on that front, it doesn't change anything about, like, who you are as a person and your personality. so as long as you're a good person, people will be nice to you. tourette�*s is a neurological condition which usually starts in childhood and causes a person to make involuntary movements and sounds known as tics. if i do tic, if i need to tic, i do it. otherwise, like, very shortly after, it will come on stronger and more of them. are you trying to suppress a tic right now? yeah, lam, to be honest, because when you're talking about it, this is certainly worse. not everyone is able to suppress their tics. milo and his mum are happy for us to show what his tics can look like when they've been building up without release. he says they're not painful. it's easier to do them
12:19 pm
than to hold them off. but if i'm at school or something, like, i'm not going tojust do them because that'll be embarrassing in class, and i can leave class — i have a card or i can, like, ask to go to the loo and i can do it there. although symptoms usually improve after several years, there is no cure for tourette�*s. ok, so this is the - prototype device that we've built for- the clinical trial... but this little device could help to change the life of milo and the estimated more than 300,000 people in the uk with the condition. it's been developed at the university of nottingham. by stimulating that nerve - we're able to change the activity in the brain areas associated with producing tics, - so we can press the button and for a period of time . reduce the likelihood their tics are going to occur — _ without side effects, . without adverse events, without having to travel to get treatment. - so it's a massive game—changer.
12:20 pm
you! the university has now started a national trial to study the effectiveness of the device. the demand to be involved has been overwhelming. it's been extremely successful. so it's benefited probably around 70% of the people in the trial. i they have seen a marked improvement. i get emails every single day- from all over the world from people asking either can they buy the device now. or can they take part in the clinical trial? i i've even had people willing to relocate from the usa, l from singapore, from australia, to the uk for the purpose - of participating in the trial. soon milo will be one ofjust 135 people to take part in the trial. the group testing the device will use it daily for a month, with everyone giving weekly feedback. if it works, it'll be really good because it'll mean that i can do those things i haven't
12:21 pm
been able to do before. i'll be able to experience that "childhood magic." it would be amazing. it'll be life changing for so many people, so it's brilliant to get the opportunity to be part of it. the trial will last until the end of the year, and the hope is that within a few years the device may be available for wider public use. milo says he's looking forward to hopefully playing a small part in helping others like him. navteonhal, bbc news. as that report showed, the clinical trial is being carried out by professor stevenjackson from the department of cognitive neuroscience at nottingham university. he is carrying out the clinical trial and hejoins me now. lovely to have you with us to talk about this amazing story today, really positive story in first honours all mile of absolutely brilliant? i5 story in first honours all mile of absolutely brilliant? is a story in first honours all mile of absolutely brilliant?— story in first honours all mile of. absolutely brilliant?- he absolutely brilliant? is a star. he reall is, absolutely brilliant? is a star. he really is. he _ absolutely brilliant? is a star. he really is, he really _ absolutely brilliant? is a star. he really is, he really is. _ absolutely brilliant? is a star. he really is, he really is. we've - absolutely brilliant? is a star. he really is, he really is. we've all. really is, he really is. we've all been staying it. tell is what the
12:22 pm
starting point was for your work. i guess it was a recognition that many people struggle to find effective treatments. it's difficult to get access to behavioural therapy and many parents don't want their children on drugs so when we talk to parents or children with tourette's or people with to vets themselves and ask them what our research priority should be they suggest that what they wanted was some sort of safe and effective treatment that was able to suppress their tics that didn't involve drugs and could be used outside of the clinic, and that led us to where we are now with this idea of stimulating the peripheral nervous system to change that brain activity associated with the generation of this text. 50 activity associated with the generation of this text. so you talk about the brain _ generation of this text. so you talk about the brain activity. _ generation of this text. so you talk about the brain activity. so - generation of this text. so you talk about the brain activity. so before | about the brain activity. so before the ticks are actually evident, people have urges, don't they, which they may be trying to suppress and i believe those urges can often be
