singing. the russians killed roman ratushny on the 9th ofjune. today, his father buried him, before returning to the front line. a funeral for a 24—year—old who answered the call to defend his country. his grandmother, joined by hundreds who came to bid him farewell. with so many young lives being lost every day, some now ask whether ukraine should make concessions to moscow. kyiv�*s mayor and former heavyweight boxing champion says it must not happen. they are ready to talk with russians about some compromises. if the last russian soldier left ukraine, this would be the time to talk, but not yet. russians have to go. go from our homeland. the coffin was brought to independence square,

where they remembered the young democracy activist. a scene of public grief in an embattled and bereaved country. they may not all be on this scale but funerals are taking place across ukraine. we know that many russian soldiers are dying, too. young lives continue to be lost in this war that vladimir putin started. it is a big tragedy for russians, for the russian situation, people do not understand that right now. but they realise very soon the reality — also, the russians die. for what? ambition of putin? roman ratushny�*s mother will not be the last mother to grieve,

neither here in ukraine nor in russia, in this war of mounting pain. nick beake, bbc news in kyiv. ukraine's former defence minister, andriy zagorodnyuk, told us what military hardware his country needs right now and what have they been promised. let me start from the fact that russia could not establish air superiority, which means the domination of its aeroplanes in the ukrainian skies. and that means they cannot fly over our territory and the bomb us with weapons and missiles and so on. they do this but they do it from the russian territory, which means that the most effective weapon after combat operation are the so—called rocket launchers, which has long range fire power equipment, missiles which are shot from inland from specialised equipment, which is known in the us as himars.

and this is what we have been asking because it is the most effective in the artillery war that we currently have in the east of ukraine. so we have been talking to allies about this for months, and we have been promised some help and some helpers coming. particularly we have received some howitzers, which are artillery guns, but we are still talking and still expecting the supply of multiple rocket launchers and unfortunately they are coming very slow. there is been a discussion with the us that they are providing four and that is great, of course. also the united kingdom provided several. germany last week said that they will give us a couple but we need in the region of 100 so these are not numbers that will make a substantial difference and help us to turn the war effort into the counteroffensive

which we very much hope we can do. ukraine's former defence minister speaking tours earlier. thousands of people have marched through central london today, calling on the government to do more to tackle the cost of living. the trades union congress demanded a "better deal" for people struggling to cope. the government has said it's providing a package of measures to help with rising costs. here's our political correspondent nick eardley. from the weekly shop to the price of filling up the car, all of us have seen the cost of living go up. today in london, unions called for better pay, but argued the government risked looking out of touch. we've got millions of workers who are really struggling, we need to see a good increase in the national minimum wage, we need to see fair pay increases for nurses and public service workers across the board. and we need fair pay agreements. but ministers say that if you put up pay too much, that could just push up prices further, too.

the prime minister says the country will get through the cost of living squeeze. i sympathise very much - with everybody who is facing pressures caused by the cost - of living, but what i would argue is that we will get through it, we will come through - on the other side strongly. don't forget we've got virtually record low unemployment, - the lowest for many, many years. the cost of living is perhaps the biggest challenge facing the government, one that will be key for millions of voters. ministers have already announced support packages, discounts for bills in the autumn, and more help for those who need it the most. ministers are also looking at ways to keep household costs down, without necessarily spending more taxpayer cash, things like cutting red tape or persuading supermarkets to keep their costs down. but pay is going to be a key debate, with costs going up so much,

many think their pay should too. the treasury, though, thinks that any pay rises need to be restrained, or inflation might get even worse. at today's march a pay increase was seen as essential. we have been on the front line, we just want some sort of pay rise, some sort of acknowledgement of the hard work that we do in the nhs. teachers have had a real terms pay cut of 20% in the last 12 months. and the way things are going, that is just going to get worse over the next 12 months. i am just hoping that enough people l have come here today to really letl the government know that something needs to change and _ something needs to happen. this is a political issue that is dominating the minds of politicians. the answers are not simple. nick eardley, bbc news. britain's transport minister has accused the biggest rail workers�* union of "punishing millions of innocent people" as the rmt confirms next week's rail and tube strikes, the largest in three decades, will go ahead.

they say talks have failed to resolve a dispute about pay, jobs and working conditions. the strikes, on three days, will cause disruption across england, scotland and wales. our business correspondent vishala sri—pathma reports. it's set to be a chaotic time if you're travelling by rail over the next seven days. three 24—hour strikes planned across the week on tuesday, thursday, and saturday, with strikes on the london underground scheduled for tuesday. for passengers in york these strikes will cause some disruption. you know, everyone deserves fair terms and conditions, but it will impact so many people, especially post—covid and with the petrol prices going up, that daily commute�*s going to be just that bit harder for everybody. they can hold the country to ransom. no, i don't back it at all. my sister is having cancerl treatment, and in london,

and that's affecting her treatment next week due to the strikes, - so she's having to stay over there in a hotel. i the rmt union says the dispute is about the proposed job cuts and the need for a pay rise to compensate for the rising cost of living. the industry is under pressure at the moment because of falling passenger numbers, and rail bosses insist that reform is needed. the rail delivery group, who represent national rail, expressed their disappointment, claiming the unions were quick to walk away, with talks scheduled to carry on on sunday. the rmt, however, feel that not enough was put on the table by the rail companies to be able to meet in the middle. we want a fair deal for our members which includes a cost of living pay rise, that includes job security. it's another one of the issues that we've said, people need job security. there will be some services operating, but many will be disappointed.

lots of people will work from home, which we have all, most of us who can, have become accustomed to over the past few years, so it could be that it doesn't bite those people quite as much as it would have done in previous years. but for more of the leisure travel events, glastonbury is often mentioned as being one of the big events that's happening next week, the reality is that people willjust have to find another way to travel. the government say they are hugely disappointed and feel the strikes are premature, urging the rmt to reconsider, but with no compromise in sight for the time being, it's set to be a stressful seven days ahead, with passengers bearing the brunt. vishala sri—pathma, bbc news. militants in afghanistan are reported to have killed two people during an attack on the last sikh place of worship in the capital kabul. they threw hand grenades at the building and the taliban authorities say a car bomb detonated before reaching the gurdwara. our correspondent secunder

kermani sent this report. this is what is left of afghanistan's last sikh gurdwara. it was the centre of life for a tiny and now terrified community. the fighting here lasted for around three hours and you get a sense ofjust how intense it must have been from the state of this room. this was the main prayer hall. it has been left completely devastated. there were seven or eight people inside here, kuljeet says. they jumped off the walls to safety. one man was in the bathroom and was shot dead. the attack began early this morning when gunmen opened fire, killing a security guard. then, after taliban security forces pursued them, a car bomb was detonated, killing the commander

of a nearby check post. they were once tens of thousands of sikhs in afghanistan. decades of conflict sort that number fall drastically. in recent years, the community was targeted on two occasions by the islamic state group. it is likely they are responsible for this latest attack, too. is is much less powerful than the taliban but has deadly cells. a lot of religious minorities don't feel safe in afghanistan at the moment. translation: our comrades have sacrificed their lives for the security. it is their right under islamic state to be protected. only a handful of sikhs remain in this country, and they too are desperate to leave. those of us who are still here are only here because we haven't got visas, none of us want to stay, satvir tells me.

our message to the indian government is give us visas. this has happened today. tomorrow, it will happen again. levels of violence may have fallen significantly since the taliban ended their insurgency but for afghanistan's last remaining sikhs, this attack seems a final push to leave a country they have long called home. secunder kermani, bbc news, kabul. brazilian police have arrested a third suspect in the murder of a britishjournalist and an indigenous expert in the amazon. the remains of the guardian journalist dom phillips have been identified from dental records. a second body, believed to be that of the brazilian bruno pereira, is being analysed. police sayjeferson da silva lima had been on the run before he gave himself up. he's denied involvement. the us centers for disease control and prevention has authorised covid—19 vaccines for children as young as six months.

earlier, a panel of 12 advisers voted unanimously to recommend the use of pfizer and moderna vaccines for those children. a nationwide rollout could start as early as next week. the headlines on bbc news. as their casualties continue to grow, could ukraine be pressured to making concessions? the mayor of kyiv tells the bbc peace talks can wait. tens of thousands of people have marched in central london calling on the government to do more to help tackle the cost of living crisis. militants in afghanistan attack a sikh place of worship in kabul, killing two people — the latest assault on religious minorities there. more than 30 people have been killed in landslides and lightning triggered by heavy monsoon storms in northeastern bangladesh. the rains have also caused widespread flooding in parts of northeastern india.

the chief administrator of the sylhet region said most of the area was under water, leaving more than four million people stranded. chris fawkes, from bbc weather, says despite the region being among the wettest places on earth, this rainfall has been particularly rare. the rainfall that we have seen has been extreme. there is a place which claims to be one of the wettest places on the planet, and it gets a lot of rain, 11 metres every year. so they are used to getting rain, but it is rare to get really intense rain like this. the last few days we have seen something like 972 millimetres of rain. there have only been nine times injune in the last hundred and 20 years we have seen this and they have had essentially two of these over the last few days so it is an extraordinary amount of

rain. totting up all the totals for that three—day 2460 millimetres of rain, and to give you some context because that sounds like a pretty big number, the annual rainfall in london is around 600 millimetres, so thatis london is around 600 millimetres, so that is four years of rain that we would get in london they have had in three days. the reason i am focusing on cherrapunji is because it is on one of the very wettest places, but what happens then is the rainfall goes down the mountains and into the river systems and effects north—eastern india and bangladesh. we know the rain will stay very heavy for the next few days with some further extraordinary falls of rain and then it will likely ease off towards the middle part of the week. there are other problems in assam, 1.9 million people affected, flooding affecting the neighbouring state as well. and in effect, regardless of what the weather does, the rain is still working down the

river catchments in the rivers are above the danger levels and continuing to rise. so another word words the flooding we have seen already, which is pretty extraordinary and affected millions, it is likely to get a lot worse over the next few days. the uk prime minister has defended a 12—month trial in which some asylum seekers, who arrive in the uk in small boats or on the back of lorries, could be electronically tagged. borisjohnson said it was important to "make sure asylum seekers can't just vanish into the rest of the country." critics say the plan treats those fleeing persecution as criminals. our political correspondent damian grammaticas reports. after the plane, chartered at a cost of several hundred thousand pounds to take asylum seekers to rwanda could not leave this week, the legality of the government's policy of deporting those seeking protection here must now be decided by british courts. so, in the meantime, some of those who were due to be on board may be part of this trial and be electronically tagged while their cases are decided. when people come here illegally, and when they break the law, it's important that we make that distinction. that's what we're doing with our rwanda policy,

that's what we are doing with making sure that asylum seekers can'tjust vanish into the rest of the country. it's not illegal to seek asylum, but the government is under pressure to stop the channel crossings and tagging rather than detaining some whose immigration cases are being decided has been possible for several years. i think that the government is chasing headlines. what i want is a serious response — a serious response, because nobody wants these journeys across the channel to be made, these perilousjourneys. everybody wants to clamp down on the gangs. that requires grown—up work with the french authorities and upstream work to actually tackle these gangs. you don't do that if you're a government that is asking the national crime agency to make cuts. the home office says it could be used in cases where there may be an increased risk of absconding and less incentive to comply with any conditions of immigration bail. i do think it is a sensible plan to try this so we can keep tabs on people who are eligible

for removal in order to deliver the government's required objective. tagging and monitoring is used for people subject to court or prison orders. those who work with refugees say extending it to them is cruel and amounts to treating those who come seeking a welcome as criminals. actually, this is a diversion tactic from the government's complete failure to run the asylum system in an orderly fashion. at the moment, we have utter chaos. we have over 100,000 people in the asylum system, waiting for a decision. so, refugee groups say in the face of the huge issues with the asylum system, tagging is a gimmick and no other western nation does it. the numbers involved in the trial is likely to be small. damian grammaticas, bbc news. let's look at some of the day's other news. several fires have broken out across a petrochemical plant near shanghai's waterfront, killing at least one person. the fires raged for hours at the sinopec petrochemical plant

before they were brought under control, leaving thick black smoke hanging in the sky and raising fears of envirnmental and health damage. parts of western europe continue to swelter under a wave of hot air that's moved north from africa. france's meteorological agency says temperatures might hit 42 or 43 degrees celsius in certain parts — breaking local records forjune. parts of northeastern spain face similar temperatures and have been placed on red alert. scientists warn it's likely to be a taste of things to come, with global warming. 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 being tested here in a uk—wide clinical trial. navteonhal has more. 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. 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 first 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 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. 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 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.
