and — more than thirty people are killed in northern bangladesh — as heavy monsoon storms trigger lightning and landslides. the mayor of kyiv, vitali klitschko, has told the bbc his country will only enter peace talks after the "last russian soldier has left ukraine". some ukrainian officials have expressed concerns their country may be pushed towards a peace deal with russia, as the war continues to put pressure on food and energy supplies. borisjohnson has meanwhile warned of "ukraine fatigue" setting in after returning from his trip to kyiv on friday. our correspondent nick beake reports from kyiv. 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. earlier, i spoke to ukraine's former defence minister, andriy zagorodnyuk, who is in kyiv, to ask him what military hardware the ukrainians need and what have they been promised. let me start on the fact that russia could not establish air superiority. which means the aeroplanes and you candy and skies. they cannot play over territories and bombard us with weapons and missiles, they can try to do this but they do this russian territory. which means that the most effective weapon after this are the so—called multiple rocket launchers. which is a long range firepower equipment and missiles that a shot from land, from the specialist equipment, which is known as mr s or high mars. and

thatis known as mr s or high mars. and that is what they have been asking and this is been most effective in the artillery war that we currently have and east of ukraine. there has been a discussion with us that they're providing for and that is great, also the united kingdom provide several in germany last week said that they would give us a couple but, we need in a range of a hundred. obviously, these are not numbers that will make a substantial difference and help us to turn the war effort in the the counteroffensive that we hope we can do. counteroffensive that we hope we can tie-— counteroffensive that we hope we can de— we can do. what is your understanding - we can do. what is your understanding as - we can do. what is your understanding as to - we can do. what is your| understanding as to why we can do. what is your. understanding as to why it we can do. what is your- understanding as to why it is taking so long and why the numbers are when you talk about four compared to the hundred that you actually need. what is your understanding as to why the numbers are so low? every time our allies _ the numbers are so low? every time our allies provide - the numbers are so low? every time our allies provide us - the numbers are so low? every time our allies provide us with | time our allies provide us with new weapons, there's a period where they're discussing and thinking whether or not they can escalate the war to

something much bigger. we are arguing right now is there's nothing escalating because russia's exhausting their capabilities to do this. there is no real recourse of third world war or what have you. but it takes time and this is the decision is made, that it takes time logistically to deliver and we could be waiting for weeks and weeks and unfortunately, the death toll in ukraine is extremely high and we are quite anxious to make these as fast as possible. would kind of impact with that kind of weaponry make in places like, the donbas where the military is outnumbered? find military is outnumbered? and outgunned- — military is outnumbered? and outgunned. we _ military is outnumbered? and outgunned. we can _ military is outnumbered? fific outgunned. we can try to stop russian offensive and we can turn to the counteroffensive can start pushing them out of our country. and it can be a game changer, completely. mai;

game changer, completely. may consider the _ game changer, completely. may consider the possibility of peace talks, you hear words like ukraine coming to a compromise. what does that make you feel? what do you see as a potential compromise? is even possible? potential compromise? is even ossible? , ., possible? those people who were sa in: possible? those people who were saying that. _ possible? those people who were saying that. they _ possible? those people who were saying that, they do _ possible? those people who were saying that, they do not _ saying that, they do not understand clement prudent�*s intentions most of his intentions most of his intention is to destroy ukraine. he has his own weird philosophy about that he believes ukraine should not exist and we do not want that. we want to keep living as a free nation in democratic nation. so, unfortunately, those disagreements are so huge that unless the lender putin leaves her country, no one sees realistically any real prospects for whatever compromise. militants in afghanistan are reported to have killed at least three 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. theyjumped 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 there 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. a short time ago i spoke to jason campbell, a policy researcher with the think—tank the rand corporation, who previously worked on afghanistan policy for the us department of defense in the trump adminstration. i began by asking him what kind of dangers the sikh community is facing. the sikh community along with many other religious and ethnic

minorities now faced daily increased dangers as you have this new taliban regime and its top rival, isis which has the ability to carry out these very high level focused attacks on these communities and put all minorities in a very precarious position right now. $3? minorities in a very precarious position right now.— position right now. q talk us throu~h position right now. q talk us through who _ position right now. q talk us through who is _ position right now. q talk us through who is behind - position right now. q talk us through who is behind these attacks? . . through who is behind these attacks? , , . . attacks? this is the hallmarks of what we — attacks? this is the hallmarks of what we have _ attacks? this is the hallmarks of what we have seen - attacks? this is the hallmarks of what we have seen the - attacks? this is the hallmarks of what we have seen the isis | of what we have seen the isis province carry out in recent years. again, targeting religious minorities and in this case, it was a sikh, and we've seen this at shrines and mosques throughout afghanistan and what they're doing is both

targeting the types of minorities that they have traditionally targeted as fundamentalists groups, there also putting the taliban regime in a very precarious political position and they have to now try to establish themselves as the dominant player in afghanistan.— the dominant player in afghanistan. the dominant player in afuhanistan. �* ., , ., afghanistan. and how is that workinu afghanistan. and how is that working out _ afghanistan. and how is that working out for _ afghanistan. and how is that working out for the - afghanistan. and how is that working out for the taliban. l afghanistan. and how is that i working out for the taliban. i think you have to look out for these minority groups and yet, their influence, their control is being undermined by this. that is precisely the case and what makes a more complex as that, from an ideological standpoint, the taliban have always really demonstrated some harsh discrimination against many of the same groups who do not abide by their also very strict interpretation of sunni islam. and they have to thread this very small needle

demonstrating this as the dominant political player in the country while at the same time not being seen as being overly protective of some of these minority groups that they have traditionally targeted themselves.— have traditionally targeted themselves. ., ., ., themselves. going forward for themselves. going forward for the taliban, _ themselves. going forward for the taliban, how _ themselves. going forward for the taliban, how do _ themselves. going forward for the taliban, how do these - the taliban, how do these minority groups fit in with their overall view of where they want to see afghanistan? unfortunately and tragically, the taliban have continued to demonstrate that they have very little regard for these minorities and even within their organisation, they have begun to systematically alienate some of the ethnic minorities within their own ranks. unfortunately, it does not look to be a very positive situation now for any minorities in afghanistan. the s - rinu minorities in afghanistan. the spring pretty _ minorities in afghanistan. the spring pretty up—to—date with some other news.

let's get 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 a hot air that's moved north from africa. france's meteorological agency says temperatures might hit forty—two or forty—three degrees celsius in certain parts — breaking local records forjune. parts of northeastern spain face similar temperatures and have been placed on red alert. 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 i 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. - lowest youth unemployment for a long time. _ 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. it was increases in pay that was on the mind of marchers. 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 enoughl people have come here today to really let the government know that something needsl 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. you are watching bbc news — the headlines. as the casulties continue to mount — could ukraine be pressured into making concessions? the mayor of kyiv tells the bbc peace talks can wait. at least three people are killed in a militant attack in kabul — targeting afghanistan's dwindling sikh community. more than 30 people have been killed in landslides and lightning triggered by heavy monsoon storms in northeastern bangladesh. by heavy monsoon storms 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 told me that 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. now, 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 were 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 and 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 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. we talk about the for your comparison, a lot of people already sang while, goodness. but these kind of extreme weather cycles that we are seeing, they are repeating and getting worse. we seeing, they are repeating and getting worse-— getting worse. we always get heavy rain — getting worse. we always get heavy rain and _ getting worse. we always get heavy rain and the _ getting worse. we always get heavy rain and the monsoon l heavy rain and the monsoon season and the mountains factor, we have very humid seasons in the bay of bengal cop there's a bit of climate change or revise at this very heavy rainfall episodes but the fact of the matter is, for every degrees celsius, you increase the temperature is around the globe and that warmer air hold 7% more water. so, when it rains and all those

ingredients come together to give these extreme wearing fall events, the rain is heavier thanit events, the rain is heavier than it would otherwise be because you expect the flooding to be worse as well. just exoiaining _ to be worse as well. just explaining the _ to be worse as well. just explaining the amount i to be worse as well. just explaining the amount of rainfall four years worth of rainfall four years worth of rain can cause. brazilian police have arrested a third suspect in the murder of a british journalist 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. 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. navtejjohal 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 to just 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. 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. navtejjohal, bbc news. we wishing the best. thank for watching. hello again. the heatwave is well and truly over and temperatures have been tumbling, a reminder on friday in suffolk the hottest day of the year so far where we had temperatures reach 33 celsius. compare friday afternoon with saturday afternoon, the same location was 19 celsius cooler. yes, grey skies even with a little rain around. and the rain you can see on the radar picture is a cold front, bring a little thunder at times across the south—west of england and over the next few hours, that band of rain is gradually going to pull away to the south—east. there will be some showers across northern scotland with brisk winds pushing them inland, but between and betwixt a lot of dry weather with some clear spells. and for those of

you have found last night a bit too warm and stuffy for sleeping, these are the kind of temperatures we will have heading into the first part of sunday morning. quite fresh, 9—12 for most. looking to sunday's forecast, the cold front hasn't entirely gone away and it looks like there will be for the of rain across the south of england. the greater risk is across the south—west but there may also be a risk of some rain at times across central southern england and the south—east as well. away from that feature, if you showers for northern scotland where it stays quite breezy, the wind is gradually using through the afternoon, but otherwise for many of you it is a dry day with warm sunshine and the temperature for many of you around 17 — 22 or so. monday sees a ridge of high pressure extending across the bulk of the uk and what this will do is bring is a fine and settled spell of weather, more sunshine to go around. again there could be an odd shower flirting with the south and getting pretty close uncertainly to the north—west scotland, a weather front moving in the year will bring thicker cloud in the afternoon and eventually outbreaks of rain and slightly cooler air from stornoway at ia, but for most of you again

it is a dry day with warm spells, june sunshine and the temperature climbing more widely reaching the low 20s. beyond that low pressure trying to hold on but these weather fronts never too far away from southern areas of the uk, maybe if you showers affecting the north as well, but by and large a decent week of weather around. there will be a fair bit of sunshine and although the heatwave is over we expect the sunshine to be warm. the temperature in cardiff peaking at around 26 midweek.

this is bbc news — the headlines... the mayor of kyiv has told the bbc his country will only enter peace talks after the "last russian soldier has left ukraine". some officials have expressed concerns their country may be pushed towards a peace deal with russia — as the war continues to exert a terrible toll. militants in afghanistan are reported to have killed at least three people during an attack on the last sikh place of worship in the capital — kabul. the assailants threw hand grenades at the building and the taliban authorities say a car bomb detonated before reaching the gurdwara. thousands of people marched through london on saturday — calling on the government to do more to tackle the cost of living. the trades union congress demanded a �*better deal�*
