than ever before. with some parts of the country like bordeaux outright banning outdoor events, with their hospitals under pressure. it also means places like city zoos have had to find creative solutions to keep animals cool. translation: we have a frozen watermelon mix for the drafts i and that we have types of blood for the carnivores and here we have blocks of ice mixed with meat for the lions. the sweltering heat also has farmers in italy worried about crops as record droughts are drying up rivers, forcing some towns in the po valley to ration water. translation: the situation could even get worse. - it could cause damage to fauna, to agriculture, to everything. already there is no more water. i used to go fishing but now

i can only fish for stones. heat and wildfires are not unfamiliar to these parts of europe but they are becoming more severe, happening sooner than usual, and more frequently. and scientists say that is due to global warming. azaday moshiri, bbc news. the united states has become the first country in the world to authorise covid vaccines for children as young as six months. president biden said doctors and pharmacies could start offering the jabs as early as next week, after drugs regulators approved their use for infants. previously, children in the us had to be aged five or older to receive a shot. today marks five years since the finsbury park terror attack, when a van was driven into worshippers outside a mosque. one person, makram ali, was killed and nine others injured. makram's daughter, ruzina akhtar, has been speaking exclusively to our home affairs correspondent

sonja jessup about her memories of herfather, and the impact of the attack on the community. this is how makram ali's family remember him, a loving father and grandfather with a sense of fun. he was just a very lively, happy, bubbly person. i don't know anyone like him who is always 24/7 happy. makram ali was murdered five years ago, targeted because of his muslim faith. the driver drove and it van into a group outside a mosque. nine others were injured. mi into a group outside a mosque. nine others were injured. qiii nine others were in'ured. all i could heart nine others were in'ured. all i could hear was _ nine others were in'ured. all i could hear was my _ nine others were injured. eli. i could hear was my sister crying and shouting, "dad, dad!," trying to wake up. at first it wasn't clear what happened. when she was first moved from the scene she forge her father was alive and waited for news. i stayed awake that whole night, morning, just waiting for summary to say, "he is at this hospital."

0bviously, that was not the case. his killer was put into custody, restrained by the worshippers he just attack. the imams was dubbed a hero but he believes it is because many expected muslims to react with angen what myself and others did on that night was what any sensible and normal law abiding citizen would have done. it is a religion that is not one of chaos, not one of — not one of vigilante justice, but one of respect of the law. but one of vigilante justice, but one of respect of the law.— respect of the law. but london's muslim community _ respect of the law. but london's muslim community felt - respect of the law. but london's muslim community felt fear. - respect of the law. but london's l muslim community felt fear. many worried as a phobia would increase following the westminster and london bridge terror attacks, after finsbury park, many mosques tightened their security. i finsbury park, many mosques tightened their security.- tightened their security. i was alwa s tightened their security. i was always wary. _ tightened their security. i was always wary. my _ tightened their security. i was always wary, my mum - tightened their security. i was always wary, my mum was . tightened their security. i was - always wary, my mum was scared to tightened their security. i —" always wary, my mum was scared to go out of the house. she didn't want to go out of the house because she is like, "i need to wear a headscarf, what i get attacked?" the number of islamic hate crimes

loved. that was sonja jessup reporting. the duke and duchess of cambridge have released a new family photo to mark father's day. it shows prince william with his children prince george, princess charlotte and prince louis taken when they were injordan in the autumn of last year. posting it on twitter, the duke and duchess wished a happy father's day to the world's fathers and grandfathers. looks trouble, that one. it is 6:12am. the latter look at the weather. luis has those details. a real mixed picture yesterday, but a glorious sunrise this morning? it was, and interestingly you notice it is quite orange at the moment. we had great weather watch pictures of the sunset as well which were quite orange, and that is because there is a bit of sahara gust, the heatwave bringing the hour from the sale so

thatis bringing the hour from the sale so that is making the sign really quite beautiful stop i am sure i will shower you plenty more of these this morning. if you are lucky enough to have the syndrome. not for all of us! some sharp, boundary downpours last night. the weather front lingering to the far south. an area of low pressure just to the north and east up in the north sea battle enhance showers as well. that is where the showers are the moment, north—west of the great glen and some just fringing the far south, but elsewhere it is a fresh start but elsewhere it is a fresh start but hopefully a sunnier start. you can see where the best of the sunshine is likely to be as we go through the day. cloud developing on and off through the day, sunny spells into the afternoon, but the risk of a few showers, and the wind direction now changing to a north—westerly, hence the fresher field, stronger winds in scotland and down towards the south—west as well. it can impact the feel of the temperatures — 14—17 well. it can impact the feel of the temperatures —14—17 degrees, but perhaps in the far south—east we may see 21—22 if you get the sun coming through, it is strong this time of

year. furthershowers through, it is strong this time of year. further showers will tend to fade away with the exception of the far south—west, the channel isles overnight. clear skies elsewhere. temperatures falling away, much more comfortable night for a good sleep once again. single figures in scotland, northern ireland, northern england, perhaps overnight lows of 10-12 england, perhaps overnight lows of 10—12 further south. still the frontal systems coding from the south but draw your attention to the far north—west as gradually as we go through the day, on monday we'll see more cloud arriving into scotland with shari outbreaks of rain will stop it will take its time in arriving, generally we will see more sunshine coming through, a drier story for most of us, and as a consequence we will see temperatures our degree also warmer. 22 or 23 not out of the question. we may have lost the heatwave conditions but it does look likely that the warmth is set to return. the north—south divide on tuesday. more cloud into

scotland, northern england and northern ireland, more sunshine, more warmth on tuesday, relatively pleasant with light winds as well. temperatures possibly picking by the middle of tuesday afternoon, 24 degrees, 75 fahrenheit, probably a more comfortable, pleasant warmth for many of us. still cooler under the cloud. through the week, warmer still as we get to the weekend we could start to see things turning a little more unsettled with more showers to come. more from me later. back to you. since the russian invasion, millions of ukrainians have been forced to leave their homes. and during the mass evacuations, many people were separated from their families and friends. when their town was bombed, four teenagers were split up and their rock band put on hold, but after months apart they've been reunited. our reporter abdujalil abdurasulov was there.

people to help with everything from weeding to harvesting, robots could fill the gap. david gregory—kumar reports. this isn't a trial or an experiment, this robot was bought from a local farm machinery dealer, and it planted and is now looking after this crop of delphiniums. this planted and is now looking after this crop of delphiniums.- this crop of delphiniums. this is something _ this crop of delphiniums. this is something that _ this crop of delphiniums. this is something that none _ this crop of delphiniums. this is something that none of - this crop of delphiniums. this is something that none of us - this crop of delphiniums. this is something that none of us have| this crop of delphiniums. this is - something that none of us have seen before, especially we are a very manual labour, and everything is drilled in this pandemic springtime, picked by hand, long and laborious tasks and having a drill, it's pretty magic. tasks and having a drill, it's pretty magic-— tasks and having a drill, it's re manic. ,., ,., pretty magic. fittings are planted in early march — pretty magic. fittings are planted in early march and _ pretty magic. fittings are planted in early march and it _ pretty magic. fittings are planted in early march and it takes - pretty magic. fittings are planted in early march and it takes about | pretty magic. fittings are planted | in early march and it takes about a month for the seeds to send up shoots, and weeding my hand, you have to wait until then before you can start a. but the robot knows where every seed is, millions of them, so once planted, it can start weeding the very next day. and if you want to know what it looks like if the robot was not here, this is a patch of field that has not been weeded, and there is a matter of

green weeds right up to the end of the field. and that is why farmers are notjust using it for flowers but nearby also for fodder beads, and even spring onions. people are still needed to pick the odd weed in the stomach the robot messes, but while delphiniums usually cost £1000 ahead, this year the bill is likely to be attentive that.— ahead, this year the bill is likely to be attentive that. over the last coule of to be attentive that. over the last coople of years — to be attentive that. over the last couple of years we _ to be attentive that. over the last couple of years we have _ to be attentive that. over the last couple of years we have realised i to be attentive that. over the last| couple of years we have realised it was a labour shortage, we are not the only industry suffering from that, and we were looking at ways that, and we were looking at ways that we could cut costs, and make our product available to the consumer. it our product available to the consumer-— our product available to the consumer. , , , ,., consumer. it runs in sunshine, so fuel costs — consumer. it runs in sunshine, so fuel costs are _ consumer. it runs in sunshine, so fuel costs are zero, _ consumer. it runs in sunshine, so fuel costs are zero, and _ consumer. it runs in sunshine, so fuel costs are zero, and with - consumer. it runs in sunshine, sol fuel costs are zero, and with fewer people around to do hard manual labour like weeding, suddenly, the farming robots are here.

"i'm finally free to be me," says olympian dame kelly holmes as she reveals she's gay. dame kelly is on the front page of the mirror, and tells the paper she had been through dark times and lived a secret life for decades, but decided to come out in pride month, after a brush with covid made her realise she wanted to show the world her real self. and online, one of the most read stories on the bbc website is about workers at an apple store in maryland voting to form the tech giant's first retail union in the united states. it's the third apple store to launch a union drive this year, but the first to successfully hold a vote. after the result, the group tweeted: "now we celebrate... tomorrow we keep organising." that follows similar moves by amazon workers in the united states, which is why they have been in union gas traditionally avoided being in a

course thick with hazards, it can bring out new approaches. that a boy! but one man from sheffield has tamed the conditions. this is matt fitzpatrick who takes aim here for a first win at a major in the form of his life. very good, brilliant, brilliant. this is a course where fitzpatrick won amateur golf�*s amateur prize, now he holds the joint lead on the last day at one of the great senior titles. rory mcilroy has gone eight years without winning one, and he is due some lock. in round three, mike corey fell back but then recovered. back nine birdies mean he is still in touch, just three shots off the lead, and all the tests of brookline men on the last day you could all change. there was a stunning conclusion to the aramco team series on the women's european tour.

england's bronte law was one shot off the lead when she had this putt for eagle on her very last hole. she holed it to leapfrog compatriot georgia hall into the lead and to take the title at the centurion club in hertfordshire. rolling back the years, red bull's max verstappen will start on pole for the canadian grand prix after a rain—affected qualifying session in montreal championship leader, verstappen, topped the time sheets in every qualifying session and will start on the front row alongside another veteran fernando alonso. ferrari's carlos sainz will start third while there was a surprise fourth place for lewis hamilton in his mercedes. with wimbledon just around the corner, last year's runner up there matteo berrettini may be one to watch, as he moved a step closer to defending his title at queens. only recently back from injury, he's into the final after beating the dutchman botic van de zandschulp in straight sets. berrettini will face a surprise opponent in the final, serbia's filip krajinovic. the world number 48 beat the seventh seed marin cilic also

in straight sets. the women's hockey world cup begins next week and england continued the countdown to it by beating belgium 2—1 in a pro league match in london with goals from tess howard and grace balsdon. they play their final league game against the same opponents today and could end the season as high as fourth. it's just five months to go until the rugby league world cup gets under way, and england's teams have been continuing their preparations this weekend. the wheelchair side are in action later today, while the men's and women's teams were involved in a double—header in warrington yesterday. the men beat the combined nations all stars 18—4 with jake wardle scoring on his england debut. and there was also a win for the women's side. they beat france 36—10 with amy hardcastle and georgia roche both scoring two tries each. it was their last match before they start their world cup campaign against brazil at headingly in october. in racing, james doyle on board naval crown claimed victory on day

week's travel show. hello and welcome to this week's travel show, with me, ade adepitan. now, it's a beautiful day and i am in my home city of london, where the international tourists are slowly returning — and it's so good to have them back. well, over the last couple of months, i'm really pleased to say, everyone on the show has been able to do a fair bit of travelling, too, and i know the whole team has been really happy

that we've been able to get back out there, especially after all the restrictions that we have all had to put up with over the last couple of years. so this week, we're going to look back at some of the places that we've been to as the world starts opening up again. 0k, first up, back in march, carmen went to chile. now, you're not going to believe this, but this trip was arranged and cancelled a total of four times because of covid. well, i'm pleased to say that she finally got out there — and it was definitely worth the wait. vamos, carmen! in the chilean region of arica, on the northern fringes of the country's atacama desert, you'll find clues that something significant lies beneath the ground. hidden in the sand are some of the oldest mummified bodies in the world, evidence of an overlooked culture that once lived and thrived here

on the western coast of south america. it's amazing how close these skeletons are to the surface and, apparently, there's layer after layer after layer of bodies going down as low as 2m underground. this is crazy. ifeel quite strange, walking on the dead here. between 7000 and 1500 bc, the hunter—gatherer chinchorro people called this area home, and developed complex mummification practices which have astounded 21st—century researchers. last year, chinchorro burial culture was officially recognised by unesco, who placed it on their world heritage list. and many hope this will transform awareness of these remarkable mummified bodies. when you think of mummies,

you think of the ancient egyptians, wrapped in bandages, but these guys here, there are sticks where their bones are, there's masks, and what's fascinating is these smaller mummies of children and babies. further along the coast, at the small fishing village of caleta camarones, just some statues and a chinchorro—themed restaurant indicate that this is, in fact, the closest town to one of the world's top sites where the chinchorro mummies have been found. there are said to have been so many mummies buried here that locals find them on a regular basis. so, before we came here, some people said you could see the mummies in the ground, and some said you couldn't, so i wasn't really sure what we'd find, but while we were having lunch, we got talking to the guy who runs the place and he said he can show us some mummies in the ground, and its two minutes down the road, so we're on our way.

currently, the mummies buried in the ground are being left there by archaeologists for their protection. and as we approach, we take great care not to disturb any of the remains. wow, it's so close to the road. what was it like growing up here? did you see many mummies when you were a child? so, vivien, how many mummies, chinchorro mummies, do you think are buried in the hills here?

wow, that was unbelievable. you know, it's one thing to see these things in a museum, and totally a different experience to be there in real life. like, i could have been standing next to one of the oldest mummified human remains in the world. and with the care and recognition the mummies are now getting, the unique chinchorro culture seems set to be remembered for some time to come.

i think that's mind—blowing that those mummies are actually thousands of years older than the ones that i saw in egypt when i went out there for the travel show. but that's what we are all about — taking you around the world and bringing new knowledge. ok, for those of you who are regular viewers to this show, you will know that i have a bit of a speed advantage over what i'd like to call you good old—fashioned two—leggers, because of my wheelchair. but there are certain places that i've always wanted to visit that, sadly, are inaccessible for me. however, thankfully, that's changing, as i found when i travelled to athens back in april. the acropolis is greece's number one tourist attraction and pre—pandemic, over 3.5 million people climbed to the top each year. one good thing to come out of the lockdowns was there was finally the time

and the space to make the site more accessible to those with mobility issues. just seen a sign for disabled entrance, i think. yeah. know what? it's still a mission to get up here. i can see why the ancient greeks were so fit. you have to be a god to get up this ramp. let's do it! which way am i going? this way? thank you. remember when i said it was a 15—minute hike up some stairs to get to the acropolis? those are the stairs i'm talking about. wow! i'd never make it up there. hello! but help is at hand. all i have to do is catch my breath and admire the scenery as i wait for the brand—new lift, built to comfortably accommodate two wheelchairs at a time. but not everyone sees it as an improvement with some critics calling it a modernist eyesore.

well, i think it beats climbing flights of steps any day of the week! this is all right. look at this view. this isjust... i mean, this is an extra part of the trip. this is a part that only we get! chuckles. all the other good old—fashioned two—leggers have to go up the stairs! and this is what i'm talking about. afterjust 40 seconds in the lift and using the acropolis' new accessible paths, i get to experience all of this. the acropolis has a long history and over its time — it's been used as a fortress, a mosque, and it's even been blown up. but its headliner has got to be the parthenon — a temple dedicated to the ancient greek goddess athena,

who gave the city of athens its name. now, i get to experience the acropolis, and i get this wonderful view of the parthenon. this is brilliant. i want to take these concrete slabs home! but 'improvements' is not a word some would use when describing the work carried out at the site. not everyone is happy with the renovations that have gone on here at the acropolis. you know, some people have complained about the concrete slabs being laid down, saying that it's hiding the original features of the acropolis, and even wounding the stone here. but i've been told that these slabs can be raised and you'll still have the original features and, actually, look — this is some of the original stone — and it's smooth anyway. rival historians claim the work carried out is a means to get more tourists to visit and is disrespectful to the site's diverse past.

i'm heading down to the acropolis museum to meet a man who knows a thing or two about ancient history, and he believes the ancient greeks themselves would've been ok with this upgrade. ancient greek civilisation — culture is an anthropocentric culture — that means they created their gods in the image of themselves — zeus, hera, aphrodite, and so on. and between them, they had hephaestus, a very hard—working metalsmith and very powerful god — and he was lame. wow — that's incredible! disabled gods, or gods with disabilities. i'm learning so many new things. this is amazing.

there are plans in place to make the site even more accessible with the installation of further paths. i, for one, think this attraction is setting a good example to historic monuments throughout the world, and i'm really happy that i get to experience the acropolis now. making ancient greece accessible — i mean, what's not to love about that? don't go away, because there is loads more great stuff to come on this week's travel show, including christa taking a whiff of the past in amsterdam. it's not great! we've got tourists slowly returning to angkor wat in cambodia. and lucy makes a new 4—legged

friend, who's hoping to uncover the secrets of pompeii. good dog. the temples at angkor wat in cambodia are one of the most famous destinations in southeast asia. but get this — tourist numbers there dropped by a staggering 90% during the pandemic. now, way back in 2020, we were over there to see what kind of impact this was having on the livelihood of people in the tourist industry. we've recently been back there again to see if things have improved. the last two years has been very difficult for me because i totally lost myjob and ijust got nothing else to do, just like many other people who survive from tourist industry as well. yeah, it was something that we never encountered before

in our whole life. it's hard to describe. sometimes you just want to cry, you know, talking about the tough time that we had no job and no any support. i miss people who used to come to visit my country. yeah, i really miss the walking through the temple, my explanation to people, and also, the ways i try to make people happy. they are excited and it's so happy to see tourists walking in the street, walking around the temple.

even not enough to give jobs to people yet, but, yeah, when we see people coming, we, you know, have, like, a good sign. nice people, we have beautiful temples and a lot of beautiful places around cambodia, so it is something that they should come and have a look in their lifetime. wishing everyone out there in cambodia the best of luck and yeah, why not add it to your bucket list, too? right, to finish off this week, we're gonna have a little bit more history. in a moment, christa is going to experience what the canals of amsterdam smelled like 300 years ago. whoa! good luck with that one, christa! but first, back in march, lucy headed to the ancient roman site of pompeii to meet a new 4—legged friend who's helping

to uncover more secrets in the past. woof, woof! this is one of the most archaeologically significant sites in the world. the roman city of pompeii was destroyed almost 2000 years ago in 79ad when nearby mount vesuvius erupted. metres of ash buried everything, freezing this catastrophic moment in time until its rediscovery in the 16th century. walking through the streets of this ancient city, under the shadow of the active volcano that destroyed it, is actually quite unsettling. today, new technologies are helping to preserve this invaluable record of roman life in the first century. drones are helping to map the site, robots are rebuilding frescos, sensors are monitoring seismic activity, and thermal imaging

cameras are helping keep a check on humidity, helping staff to act quickly if potential danger strikes. but the real star of the show is, without a doubt, this 4—legged robot that, bizarrely, looks like a dog. chuckles. good dog! chuckles. so, paolo, i've got to be honest — i am geeking out about this. this has got to be the coolest, most elaborate robot i think i've ever seen in my life! so talk to me about what i am staring at. there's a lot going on here. it's a — an incredible piece of technology. yeah! it's a machine that is able to move around autonomously and is able to bring with it some other technologies, other payloads. here, now, you see a computing power, where we can run our software and a laser scanner — that is a special laser scanner that is able to scan while the machine is moving.

and the robot itself is able to avoid obstacle, to move autonomously in an environment like — like this ones. and also, since you can upload artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms on it, you can bring ai wherever it is required — it is needed. by using a combination of technology and a fresh, more inclusive approach to ancient history, the authorities here in pompeii are hoping for a successful tourist season in 2022 after being closed for almost two years. scientists say there's a link between smell, memory and emotion. and now, they're using that connection to enhance our travels. in fact, one group has started amassing a library of historical smells in an attempt

to bring them back to life. the plan is to use them in museums and on walking tours. may i...may i come behind here? yeah, yeah, yeah, come, come, come! what an incredible place! yeah, isn't it wonderful? is this all original? it's more of a drug store, you might say, between grocery and the apothecary. the project's not based in amsterdam by accident. this city, inger argues, is a rich hunting ground for ancient pongs. so, i guess back then, amsterdam would have been quite a smelly place. absolutely! it was called 'the beautiful lady with the stinking breath' because of the canals, which looked wonderful, but evaporated a foul stench of not only the sewer — the privies that were leaking into the canals and all the factories that were there, but also, of the cadavers of animals that ended up in the — in the canal.

not all the dutch smells are bad, though. in fact, to ward off the whiffs, many of the nobility carried pomanders — a kind of perfumed ball. so, what we did is have — we actually tried to recreate a pomander smell from an old book of secrets recipe. if you pump it, and then you can just pump it in front of your nose and smell — and maybe use both of of your nostrils, and then try to... oh, it's very — it's lovely! yes, that's right! it smells like a really good airfreshener! laughs. but it's notjust a novelty. inger�*s keen to show me how the walking tours that are being planned can offer a whole new layer of historical detail. this is where the dutch east india company used to unload silks, spices, herbs and tobacco from all over the world. in the 17th century,

there must have been a lot to smell. smell this scent that we also created. 0k. so, do i wave it? yeah, wave it under your nose. ooh! chuckles. maybe don't wave it too close! i mean, it's not great! it's not great, no! is that what the canal would've smelled like here? there are, indeed, elements of, yeah, a polluted canal smell, so it has sulphur... it has a kind of bathroom smell, yeah. yes, excrement, urine components in there. but it's also, the sulphuric component also leads you from the water to the military might, to the gunpowder that was actually stored in this building. this is the headquarters — or used to be the headquarters — of the dutch admiralty, so they were the military force that went with the east india company to actually enforce labour, to use — make use of all kinds of violence to get that luxury spice trade into the dutch republic.

this isn'tjust a touristic novelty — time, money and expertise have been spent making these smells as accurate as possible. and if there's one thing they've taught me, it's that the past was a pretty stinky place. after watching that, i bet you're glad that you can't actually smell what you see on tv. the whiffs of 17th—century amsterdam brought to life just for you, right here on the travel show. well, that's it for this week. next week, venice. as europe's travel hot spot braces for a bumper summer, carmen's in italy, testing the controversial new crowd control plan that'll add a daily fee to your venetian holiday.

to attend long—awaited hospital appointments may have no choice but to cancel. and he is blaming unions representing real staff. this was central london yesterday. a cost—of—living march organised by unions. the rail union says it's fighting to protect the pay and conditions of its members, and it warned a general strike might be on the cards. we're very angry. it's a very absolute last resort, the strike. but, at the end of the day, everybody needs a pay rise at the moment. we've got inflation at 11% and that includes the men and women who keep people moving on the railways.

everyone deserves fair terms and conditions, but it will impact so many people, especially post—covid, and with petrol prices going up. that daily commute is going to be just that bit harder for everybody. |the government put in £16 billion| of our money to keep the railways running during the pandemic, and now they're moaning i because they aren't getting a big enough pay increase. _ network rail, which owns the country's railways, says it wants to find a solution and is keen to give people a decent pain rise, but it says increases need to be affordable. labour's leader, meanwhile, says not enough is being done to avoid the strikes. he's accused ministers of feeding off divisions. as politicians argue over who is to blame, from tuesday, millions of train users are being urged not to travel, with only a fifth of services expected to run. nick eardley, bbc news. let's speak to our political correspondent damian grammaticas.

hospitals under pressure. it also means places like city zoos have had to find creative solutions to keep animals cool. translation: we have a frozen watermelon mix for the giraffes| and that we have types of blood for the carnivores and here we have blocks of ice mixed with meat for the lions. the sweltering heat also has farmers in italy worried about crops as record droughts are drying up rivers, forcing some towns in the po valley to ration water. translation: the situation could even get worse. - it could cause damage to fauna, to agriculture, to everything. already there is no more water. i used to go fishing but now i can only fish for stones. heat and wildfires are not unfamiliar to these parts of europe but they are becoming more severe, happening sooner

than usual, and more frequently. and scientists say that is due to global warming. azadeh moshiri, bbc news. borisjohnson has warned that people should "steel themselves for a long war in ukraine", saying that russia will not stop at "dismembering" the country. the prime minister's remarks echoed comments made by the nato secretary general, who said the conflict could last for years. let's speak now to our correspondentjoe inwood, in irpin, just outside kyiv. good morning. it is a pretty grim assessment of how this war could play out? assessment of how this war could -la out? ~ , , ., , assessment of how this war could .la out? i. assessment of how this war could play out? absolutely and boris johnson play out? absolutely and boris johnson is _ play out? absolutely and boris johnson is talking _ play out? absolutely and boris johnson is talking not - play out? absolutely and boris johnson is talking not just - play out? absolutely and boris. johnson is talking notjust about johnson is talking notjust about the need for long—term military support and undoubtedly that is needed, hardware, training, all of which she said britain will continue

providing. if you look behind me at the scene in irpin, this was a breach iconic at the start of the war, we saw people start to leave. about 60,000 people used to live there, right in the front line. this town alone they put the damage at $1 billion. this is not the most damage, a city like mariupol has been completely flattened. the need in this country is huge. you have a perfect storm of situations, the destruction of the sectors, the ongoing fighting in the east which is really very intense and costly and this export blocade all combining to put ukraine in a difficult economic situation and thatis difficult economic situation and that is one of the things the british prime minister says is going

to need a lot of help over many, many years. the united states has approved covered vaccines for babies. drug regulators approved use. previously children in the us had to be aged five or older to receive the shots. today marks five years since the finsbury park terror attack, when a van was driven into worshippers outside a mosque. one person, makram ali, was killed and nine others injured. his family have been speaking to sonja jessup about memories of their father and the impact of the attack on the community. this is how makram ali's family remember him, a loving father and grandfather with a sense of fun. he was just a very lively, happy, bubbly person.

i don't know anyone like him who's always 24/7 happy. makram ali was murdered five years ago, targeted because of his muslim faith. the attacker drove a van into worshippers outside a mosque in finsbury park. nine others were injured. all i could hear was my sister crying and shouting, "dad, dad!," trying to wake him up. at first it wasn't clear what happened. when police moved was first moved ruzina away from the scene, she thought her father was still alive, and waited for news. i stayed out that whole night, whole morning, just waiting for someone to say, "he's at this hospital," but obviously, that wasn't the case. makram's killer was taken into police custody, restrained, until officers arrived, by the worshippers he'd just attack. the imam was dubbed a hero but he believes that's because many expected muslims to react with anger. what myself and others did on that night was what any sensible and normal law—abiding

citizen would have done. it's a religion that is not one of chaos, not one of — not one of vigilante justice, but one of respect of the law. but london's muslim community felt fear. many worried had worried islamophobia would increase following the westminster and london bridge terror attacks. after finsbury park, many mosques tightened their security. i was always wary, my mum was scared to go out of the house. she didn't want to go out of the house because she's like, "i wear a headscarf, what if i get attacked?" the number of islamophobic hate crimes recorded by met police have fallen over the last five years, but one group to monitor incidents say most are never reported. we have seen an increase of 45% of anti—muslim reports coming into us in london, and these reports have got abusive behaviour as the number—1 category reported into us, but threats, assaults, threatening

behaviours and discrimination are the categories that follow. five years on, the memories and the fear remain, but there has also love and support. people are quick to let you know that they stand with you and that these actions are not supported, and that's comforting and that's consoling. in the park where makram ali used to play with his grandchildren, there's is a plaque that bears his name. it's been difficult but we move on and we just create better, happier memories as a family, and just do what my dad would have loved. that was sonja jessup reporting. the duke and duchess of cambridge have released a new family photo to mark father's day. have a look at this, gorgeous, isn't

it? it shows prince william with his children, prince george, princess charlotte and prince louis, taken when they were injordan in the autumn of last year. posting it on twitter, the duke and duchess wished a happy father's day to the world's fathers and grandfathers. the duchess is a keen photographer, i wonder if she took it.— i wonder if she took it. smiles behind the — i wonder if she took it. smiles behind the camera. _ there are much better phones as well... thousands of families who fled the war in ukraine are making new lives in the uk, and one of the biggest adjustments for the children is starting school. the challenge for teachers is to make sure those young refugees, who've been through so much trauma and hardship, can take part in lessons and make friends, as briony leyland reports. star. learning to start again. aller

for me on friday afternoon. there are also some showers around as well, those showers into the far north—west of scotland accompanied by cool northerly wind as well and a few scattered showers floating around the south coast as we speak. sandwiched in between the two, some sunshine coming through but the cloud always thicker into the far northern you can see the scattered showers and we will see some cloud developing as we go to the course of the day today but a few manage to keep away from the brisk northerly wind, with a little bit more shelter it will feel comfortable, we're looking at 18— 21 degrees by noticeably cooler on the exposed coast where we have the blustery cool when the source. as we move through sunday evening, so some scattered showers across the south—east but we keep those showers going in the south—west, accompanied by gusty winds in excess of 40 miles an hour and sometimes overnight, and clear skies to the north air, single figures and much more comfortable night, a good night sleep and as we move into monday morning, it will be

dry, settled and sunny for most of us, but we are likely to see those frontal systems pushing into the far north—west, that will introduce more in the way of cloud and still the north—westerly wind so it will be a bit disappointing in terms of the feel of the weather here, so, a lot of sunshine around for england and wales without sunshine, temperatures will start to climb so we're likely see once again them peeking into the low 20s as we get through the day. cladding over a touch in northern ireland over the afternoon, here we are likely to see 14—18, maybe 20, northern ireland to get the early morning sunshine, 22 with a high into the south—east corner. warmer as we get through the weeks we may have lost the extreme heat wave, but as you can see temperatures are likely to peak in london on thursday at 27 before the potential for more rain arriving as we move into next weekend. b, rain arriving as we move into next weekend. �* ., rain arriving as we move into next weekend. . . . .. rain arriving as we move into next weekend. . . . ., .. weekend. a real good runaround of what is happening _ weekend. a real good runaround of what is happening and _ weekend. a real good runaround of what is happening and when - weekend. a real good runaround of what is happening and when you i weekend. a real good runaround of. what is happening and when you see this temperatures, those record temperatures in spain in the south of france, where does that he'd then

that if there is ever surplus food thatis that if there is ever surplus food that is available wherever they might be, that that then goes to those that need it most. ih might be, that that then goes to those that need it most.- those that need it most. in the exam-le those that need it most. in the example we — those that need it most. in the example we saw _ those that need it most. in the example we saw in _ those that need it most. in the example we saw in view's - those that need it most. in the i example we saw in view's report, those that need it most. in the - example we saw in view's report, it is a quite an organised system of collecting that food waste and being able to get into people who need it to. would you like to see the retailers and supermarkets themselves play a bigger role in the outcome of distributing this food rather than pushing it out the door, being involved in getting it to people who need it? i being involved in getting it to people who need it?- being involved in getting it to people who need it? i think the retailers across _ people who need it? i think the retailers across the _ people who need it? i think the retailers across the sector - people who need it? i think the retailers across the sector are l retailers across the sector are being absolutely committed to these redistribution programmes now for many years, and they have invested heavily in programmes with the likes of neighbourly and others, but it is all about trying to leverage that existing infrastructure of amazing local charities and good causes who are there supporting their local communities, but from the point of view of doing that that scale, so we're talking about thousands of locations across the uk every day

where you are connecting local charities with local stalls and i think the retailers, they know that food waste is not an option, that it is about trying to make sure that anything that is left over goes to those good causes, but what has been interesting really recently is the creation of ideas and in deducing initiatives, which is designed to increase the options in—store, so shoppers know which long items will offer a greater of nutritional benefits and they can obviously be dropped into pre— donation points, so retailers are consisting —— consistently looking to be better, they will never stop challenging themselves to do it but it is about making sure that we take advantage of those existing organisations that are in our communities and helping to look after the need for support. looking to be better yes but there is also a business opportunity as prizes become increasingly competitive and we all start to feel

pay increase. also because of the cost of living, they want a bigger pay rise. they are concerned about redundancies. the train companies are being asked by the government to change some terms and conditions to bring some days into the working week rather than over time and things like that so they are concerned about that terms and conditions. the government which runs the railways saying we have poured money into running the railways. it poured money into running the railwa s. , , railways. it is interesting, given the cost of _ railways. it is interesting, given the cost of living _ railways. it is interesting, given the cost of living rises - railways. it is interesting, given the cost of living rises and - railways. it is interesting, given the cost of living rises and the l the cost of living rises and the pressures put on families just to pay the bills. but returning to the strike, we passed the point of no return? , , ., , strike, we passed the point of no return? , , . _ ., ~ , return? firstly, agency workers almost impossible _

but it feels like a home game this week and that is why it feels different and for the better. it has been great to have the support this week and any moment that i have had success around here, during this week has been celebrated pretty loud. there was a stunning conclusion to the aramco team series on the women's european tour. england's bronte law was one shot off the lead when she had this putt for eagle on her very last hole. she holed it to leapfrog compatriot georgia hall into the lead and to take the title at the centurion club in hertfordshire. leicester tigers are premiership rugby champions for the first time in nine years following a narrow win over saracens. replacement fly half, freddie burns, slotted the winning drop goal with just moments of the final remaining to seal a record 11th title for the club. it caps a remarkable return to winning ways, coming just two seasons after they finished a lowly 11th in the table. red bull's max verstappen will start on pole for

on his england debut. and there was also a win for the womens side. they beat france 36—10 with amy hardcastle and georgia roche both scoring two tries each. it was their last match before they start their world cup campaign against brazil at headingly in october. shelly—ann fraser—pryce matched her season best time to win the 100m at the diamond league meet in paris last night. jamaica's two—time olympic champion powered to victory in 10.67 seconds. britain's daryll neita finished second after clocking a season's best 10.99. britain's cindy sember came third in the women's100m hurdles with wimbledon just around the corner, last year's runner up there, matteo berrettini, may be one to watch, as he moved a step closer to defending his title at queens. only recently back from injury, he's into the final after beating the dutchman, botic van de zandschulp, in straight sets. berrettini will face a surprise opponent in the final — serbia's filip krajinovic. the world number 48 beat the 7th seed marin cilic, also in straight sets.

weather front produce some sharp downfalls, and we have that low pressure producing sharp showers into the north—west of scotland as well. we have some lovely sunshine between the two as you can see from the weather watchers coming in. we will see that north—westerly wind driving cloud further south as we go to the afternoon, a brisk feel, a few scattered showers continuing across south—west of england and that wind will bring went down, search up make up temperatures may be around 13— 15 degrees in the far north, 17 or 18 in the west coast, further inland a little bit, some more sunshine and showers, we might see 21 and 22 degrees. the showers will tend to fade away with the exceptions may be of south—west england to the course of the night, clear skies further north meaning a coolish start, single fingers into the far north of scotland, but on the far north of scotland, but on the whole it be that will be quite a quiet start as we have this little ridge of high pressure starting to

build on this weather front top across the high, gradually introducing more cloud as we go to the day, the current damage currently over the north—west, generally will stay dry and sunny for many, and as a result those temperatures will be a degree also warmer, the highs of 22 and 23 degrees on monday afternoon, that's a little bit better, a little bit more comfortable. 1o a little bit better, a little bit more comfortable. 10 degrees down and what we were a few days ago. it feels a bit more normal for this feels a bit more normalfor this time of year, though source of the temperatures. iestate time of year, though source of the temperatures-— time of year, though source of the temperatures. we will take that as well, it temperatures. we will take that as well. it was — temperatures. we will take that as well, it was quite _ temperatures. we will take that as well, it was quite difficult - temperatures. we will take that as well, it was quite difficult to - temperatures. we will take that as well, it was quite difficult to get i well, it was quite difficult to get a good night of sleep! now on breakfast, it's time for click.

food, glorious food! we love it! maybe a bit too much because it's often shipped around the world, which is — and this is a technical term — not good. and the problem isn'tjust in us getting the food, it's also the fact that we buy too much of it and don't always use it all. food waste is such a big problem for the environment that if food waste was a country, it would be the third biggest carbon emitter after china and the us. and in the future, food might take a very differentjourney after you throw it away. can i take you on thatjourney? let's go! picture a tasty—looking breakfast buffet, all those dishes appetisingly full to choose from, even if you arrive just before it's due to close. nobody wants to waste food but inevitably, it does happen, so how about being able to use the leftovers on your plate to power your home? thank you!

well, we've been looking at some of the latest ideas that aim to do that, as well as a device that uses artificial intelligence to reduce food waste in the first place. this is orbisk. cameras and sensors in here are keeping track of what food goes in the bin, while scales underneath are weighing how much there is. the system's ai can then identify what items have been put in the bin, so that over time, data will be collected by a restaurant so they can figure out what they're buying or making too much of. and that's not always as obvious as you would expect. when i see the picture, it really surprises me. sometimes, you see the pasta coming back, so we need to standardise, saying that we need to make sure the pasta a little bit less. making my staff — especially my staff to think what food is being wasted there and this mission helps them to realise, to

control the wastage. so, it's notjust about what's left over on the buffet, but a matter of better managing portion sizes and maybe even improving taste. another good thing about orbisk is that we can actually separate the kitchen waste. there is a button there which we normally press if we are throwing away kitchen wastage, let's say, rather than food coming from the plates. and we can see it in the dashboard as well — what comes back from the actual guest and what comes back from the kitchen or from the buffet as well. at the moment, the device can recognise about 1000 ingredients but machine learning will enable it to identify more as time goes on. it can also identify the proportions of each item within the overall weight to understand exactly what's going to waste. we know food waste is a big problem but why is it so important to tackle it when it comes to hospitality? we throw away one third of all food we produce in the world, which 20%

of the food waste comes from the hospitality institutions. food prices are going up and up. it's getting more and more important to make sure that you use all of your ingredients and all of your food the way you should use it — namely, to feed people. and when food fails to achieve that pretty obvious goal, it ends up in the bin. but at this northamptonshire hotel, that bin is going places. it's being emptied into a wastemaster unit where, over the course of 24 hours, it'll be broken down into a smaller, lighter and odourless residue. we don't use traditional methods to accelerate decomposition of base. we don't use enzymes, we don't use bacteria, we don't use high heat and we don't use water — we simply use energised oxygen. the activated oxygen accelerates decomposition by helping break down the food cell walls and releasing moisture. so, what starts off filling up five bins like these blue ones

goes through the process and comes out only filling up about one bin — it can be reduced up to 80%. and what ends up in here looks like soil and doesn't smell, really. not having to deal with rodents as a result isn't the only benefit — the reduced volume also means it's reducing co2. we've taken a couple of trucks off the road because we have less journeys with the compactor, because we fill it less often because we are able to recycle the food waste. the process is even being used in multiple hospitals. our water savings have been drastically reduced because we're not — we're not flushing it down the drains or anything any more. as an nhs, that is something that we're all working towards, bringing our green credentials down. and from there, it goes to an anaerobic digestion plant, like this one in lincolnshire. lorries full of food from manufacturers, supermarkets and homes are emptied here. we need to eat and drink,

so do digestion plants, so this is our mouth. from the mouth of the plant from the bunker, it goes into that blue hopper behind me, which is the start of the depackaging process. the operator is looking at what's coming in and is starting to make a nice, homogeneous blend, so by the time it reaches the stomach, it's a kind of blend of some carbohydrates, some fat, some protein, a few vitamins and minerals. and what we're left with is an organic material like a soup. doesn't look very attractive — it's like a brown soup. that 'soup' journeys through various tanks before ending up in this big metal stomach, the digester, where bacteria breaks the waste down. this is the by—product that's left after we've digested everything, and it's called digestate or biofertiliser. we're putting the nutrient value back to land to grow new crops. and the methane that's being created in the process is being harnessed for its power. so while we may not want to feel bloated after a meal, here, gas is the aim. that gas is stored here before being turned into electricity

that can be used locally or fed back to the grid. so now, think bank to those distant leftovers on my plate that could be powering your cooking another day. now, let's not forget that food uses energy notjust at the end of its life, but the beginning of its life, too. meat production in particular is bad for the environment because animals use resources and they produce greenhouse gases. now, you and i have both tried meat replacement burgers made of plants and personally, i think they've come on a load in the last few years. oh, absolutely! taste and texture have improved so much. the impossible burger even bleeds, there are fake chicken pieces that are really convincing — they're just a bit uniform throughout — and some companies have even been trying to recreate steak. yeah, and that is hard. but there is another option on the horizon,

and that is meat grown in a lab. now, this does not involve killing animals and may eventually be better for the environment. the problem is the development has been really slow because it's expensive and really hard to do. well, laura goodwin has been to one lab which is trying to make cultivated meat starter kits. this is notjust a pork sausage. this is a cultivated meat pork sausage grown in a lab from pluripotent animal cells. but to understand just what that means, let's go backwards from dinner plate all the way back to cell plate. roslin tech are a company based just outside edinburgh, who are looking to supply starter sells to companies all over the world, who could then grow that into meat on a commercial scale. the cells come from a small biopsy from an animal, which means it doesn't need to be slaughtered, and have then been reprogrammed. so, what is it about the particular line of cells that you're producing that is unique? so, what we try to do is make cells pluripotent, so very similar to the origin

of life, so cells that can continually self—renew. let me illustrate an example. so, our cells, they double every 24 hours. so, if you take a cell on day one, i have two on day two. after three days, i have four cells. wait roughly 42 days and i have enough cells to fill kind of a bottle this size. and after 63 days, i have enough cells to fill a swimming pool. so, with one single cell, you can make millions of tonnes of meat. the cells are frozen and packed, ready for shipping to lab—grown meat companies all over the world. this piece of equipment is a bioreactor — it's similar to what you get on a much larger scale in a brewery, for example — where you can take lots of cells and amplify them. and our goal here is to get as much mass as possible of the cells for the

preparation of prototypes, and we would share that data with our cultivated meat customers. so, aren't these little flecks that we can see meat? well, these are not individual cells. what we find is that those little piggy cells like to clump together and be with each other — which is great, actually, for cultivated meat because we don't have to add any special microcarriers in to let the cells swirl in solution. at the moment, at this scale, you're producing quite small amounts. and if a company was to be doing this on a large, commercial scale, what kind of size of bioreactor are we talking about? oh, several thousand, perhaps up to 100,000 litres for, you know, the full—scale cultivated meat companies of the future. and if renewable energy is used to power those bioreactors, it could be a greener way to generate meat. so, we've come to a part of the lab that you might not expect. we're in the kitchen and that's because those little flecks that you saw spinning around in the bioreactor has been harvested and they now look like this.

now, elena's going to combine them with some other ingredients and we're gonna cook a sausage. how would you say it compares to a regular sausage? is it cooking in the same sort of way? yeah, it's very straightforward. so, put it in the frying pan for five to ten minutes and it should be cooked all the way through. a simple sausage like this would still cost hundreds of pounds to produce but it's hoped in the future, being able to scale up will bring costs down. yeah, shall we have a look? so, there we have it — the finished product. now, we aren't able taste this sausage because it doesn't yet have regulatory approval here in the uk, but we're going to cut it open and have a little sniff. ok, so, texture—wise, it looks like a sausage. and it smells like a sausage. smells like chicken! let's see if it taste like chicken! singapore approved lab—grown chicken meat for consumption two years ago, but here in the uk, approval is still

some years off. roslin tech say they don't believe cultivated meat will altogether replace traditional meat production but, rather, that there'll be room at the table for both. and that's it for the short version of the programme. yeah, the full—length version is waiting for you right now on iplayer. thank you very much for watching and we'll see you soon. bye— bye. good morning and welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and nina warhurst. our headlines today... the transport secretary accuses union leaders of "punishing millions of innocent people"

by pressing ahead with rail strikes later this week. prime minister borisjohnson warns western leaders to steel themselves for a long war in ukraine. scorching temperatures in europe cause wildfires and drought, leading to severe disruption. chasing his first major golf title — england's matt fitzpatrick has a share of the lead going into the final round of the us open. and we'll find out more about the heart valley farmer who has taken the new york film world by storm. good morning. it is a fresher story across the country today. cloud and a few scattered showers across southern england first thing, but there will be some sunny spells around. i'll tell you when and where injust a moment. it's sunday 19th june. our main story. the transport secretary grant shapps

has accused the country's biggest rail union of "punishing" millions of innocent people after it confirmed it will go ahead with series of crippling strikes. mr shapps said the travelling public faced a week of "misery" because the rail, maritime and transport union had refused to call off their action, which is due to start on tuesday. our political correspondent nick eardley has more. for anyone who relies on trains, the next few days are going to see significant disruption. the biggest rail strikes in three decades are happening, and the government says it will cause misery for people across the country. the transport secretary, grant shapps, said this morning children sitting exams will face the extra distraction of changing their travel plans, and vulnerable people trying to attend long—awaited hospital appointments may have no choice but to cancel. and he is blaming unions representing rail staff.

this was central london yesterday. a cost—of—living march organised by unions. the rail union says it's fighting to protect the pay and conditions of its members, and it warned a general strike might be on the cards. we're very angry. it's a very absolute last resort, the strike. but, end of the day, everybody needs a pay rise at the moment. we've got inflation at 11% and that includes the men and women who keep people moving on the railways. everyone deserves fair terms and conditions, but it will impact so many people, especially post—covid, and with petrol prices going up. that daily commute is going to be just that bit harder for everybody. the government put in £16 billion of our money to keep the railways running during the pandemic, and now they're moaning

because they aren't getting a big enough pay increase. network rail, which owns the country's railways, says it wants to find a solution and is keen to give people a decent pay rise, but it says increases need to be affordable. labour's leader, meanwhile, says not enough is being done to avoid the strikes. he's accused ministers of feeding off divisions. as politicians argue over who is to blame, from tuesday, millions of train users are being urged not to travel, with only a fifth of services expected to run. nick eardley, bbc news. let's speak to our political correspondent damian grammaticas. damian, there have strong words about the strikes from both labour and the government, haven't there? and the government, haven't there? we know that stri| ahead and we know that stripes are going ahead and will cause huge disruption

for huge number of people and that is why we are seeing before the strikes are under way, this claim and counterclaim, blame and counter blame going on, so that you have the transport secretary there, as you were hearing, grant shapps, saying that they have been urging the rmt not to go ahead with what he calls damaging strikes. they should be focusing on getting around the negotiating table and doing what is necessary to protect the rail network. the rmt union blames grant shapps, the prime minister boris johnson, the chancellor rishi sunak, saying that they are the ones blocking a deal, and it says that its members have rejected a 2% rise plus another 1%, if 2500 job cuts went through, saying that are simply not enough when you have information projected to hit about 11%, so the rmt general secretary mick lynch said that actually, they would be

happy to see a general strike. he said working people are fighting back. there are more billionaires than ever, and working people, with full employment, are having to take state benefits. the labour party sitting watching this, sir keir starmer, he is blaming the government, saying that they are pouring petrol on the fire of this, and the lib dems also critical of the government, saying that the transport secretary has not met the unions in a month and they say that in any otherjob, working to avoid a strike is what you would do, and in this case, not bothering to avert a crisis, he said that in any other job would be a suckable offence, that from the liberal democrats. spoke about the possibility of a general strike and there will be other workers looking at what is happening on the railways, and thinking they could be doing the same, whether it is teachers, police

officers, saying that we have not had a pay rise for a long time either. , .. .. .. ~' had a pay rise for a long time either. , ., . either. so, if you look at the education — either. so, if you look at the education sector, _ either. so, if you look at the education sector, the - either. so, if you look at the | education sector, the biggest teaching union, the national education union, is planning to write to the education secretary this week to say that, if they don't get a pay rise higher than 3%, they will consider asking their members later in the year, in the autumn, whether they would want to go on strike. also, reports that, in the health service, unison, which represents the biggest union there for health workers, they are due to get a pay deal put to them this week, and they will look at that as well. all of this, of course, being driven by the pressures people are feeling, the cost of living pressures, inflationary increases that they are feeling, and tax increases too, so all of that is

impacting on people, and this has got a long, long way to play out, as people respond to the pressures they are feeling in their daily lives. for now, thank you so much, damien. borisjohnson has warned that people should "steel themselves for a long war in ukraine", saying that russia will not stop at "dismembering" the country. the prime minister's remarks echoed comments made by the nato secretary general, who said the conflict could last for years. let's speak now to our correspondentjoe inwood in irpin, just outside kyiv. good morning to you. that bridge behind you became a symbol early in the war of how quickly things have escalated, so shocking watching people trying to get across there, and now these are sites that have just become the norm. absolutely. it was a defining _ just become the norm. absolutely. it was a defining image _ just become the norm. absolutely. it was a defining image of— just become the norm. absolutely. it was a defining image of the - just become the norm. absolutely. it was a defining image of the start - just become the norm. absolutely. it was a defining image of the start of l was a defining image of the start of this war. people will remember little old ladies trying to get

across, and that band that is still there. but despite this huge level of disruption, you can see that things are getting knocked back to normal, but they have tried to find some sort of way to construct this bridge, the temporary one, was put up bridge, the temporary one, was put up quite quickly after the russians had been pushed away from this town. this was before the war satellite city of the capital, kyiv,, and many people died here on the russian shelling in the fighting. there is a delegation from the european union here today investigating potential war crimes. those processes are under way. also under way is reconstruction. that is one of the things that is interesting about what boris johnson things that is interesting about what borisjohnson and things that is interesting about what boris johnson and jens stoltenberg have been talking about, that this huge amount of support that this huge amount of support thatis that this huge amount of support that is going to be needed, it is notjust military but financial, and economic. just this one town alone, they reckon $1 billion will be

needed for this one, small—town, so if you think about the number of places like this across the country that suffered the level of damage, mariupol, a city that has been razed to the ground, and in severodonetsk, who are currently the fighting is focus, they are completely destroyed and will need billions and billions over years and years. add to that the fact that the ports are closed, but they cannot sell their grain, that the economy is mostly shutdown and this is a country that is going to need ongoing support, and we are seeing a clear message from boris johnson and other western leaders that they are going to provide it for them, that they are going to provide it forthem, however long that they are going to provide it for them, however long it takes. the, for them, however long it takes. a long road back, joe, which hasn't even yet begun. joe, thank you. the united states has become the first country in the world to authorise covid vaccines for babies as young as six months. president biden said doctors and pharmacies could start offering the jabs as early as next week, after drugs regulators approved their use for infants.

previously, children in the us had to be aged five or older to receive a shot. today marks five years since the finsbury park terror attack — when a van was driven into worshippers outside a mosque. one person, makram ali, was killed and nine others injured. his family have been speaking to sonja jessup about memories of their father — and the impact of the attack on the community. this is how makram ali's family remember him, a loving father and grandfather with a sense of fun. he was just a very lively, happy, bubbly person. i don't know anyone like him who's always 24/7 happy. makram ali was murdered five years ago, targeted because of his muslim faith. the attacker drove a van into worshippers outside a mosque in finsbury park. nine others were injured. all i could hear was my sister

crying and shouting, "dad, dad," trying to wake him up. at first it wasn't clear what had happened. when police moved ruzina away from the scene, she thought her father was still alive, and waited for news. i stayed out that whole night, whole morning, just waiting for someone to say, "he's at this hospital," but obviously, that wasn't the case. makram's killer was taken into police custody, restrained, until officers arrived, by the worshippers he'd just attacked. the imam was dubbed a hero but he believes that's because many expected muslims to react with anger. what myself and others did on that night was what any sensible and normal law—abiding citizen would have done. it's a religion that is not one of chaos, not one of — not one of vigilante justice, but one of respect of the law. but london's muslim community felt fear. many worried had worried islamophobia would increase

following the westminster and london bridge terror attacks. after finsbury park, many mosques tightened their security. i was always wary, my mum was scared to go out of the house. she didn't want to go out of the house because she's like, "i wear a headscarf, what if i get attacked?" the number of islamophobic hate crimes recorded by met police have fallen over the last five years, but one group who monitor incidents says most are never reported. we have seen an increase of 45% of anti—muslim reports coming into us in london, and these reports have got abusive behaviour as the number—one category reported into us, but threats, assaults, threatening behaviours and discrimination are the categories that follow. five years on, the memories and the fear remain, but there has also been love and support. people are quick to let you know that they stand

with you and that these actions are not supported, and that's comforting and that's consoling. in the park where makram ali used to play with his grandchildren, there's is a plaque that bears his name. it's been difficult but we move on and we just create better, happier memories as a family, and just do what my dad would have loved. that was sonja jessup reporting. important to hear from those families a few years later and understand the ripples of such horrifying events. the duke and duchess of cambridge have released a new family photo to mark fathers' day. it shows prince william with his children prince george, princess charlotte and prince louis

who stole the show at thejubilee celebrations, taken when they were injordan in the autumn of last year. posting it on twitter, the duke and duchess wished a happy fathers' day to the world's fathers and grandfathers. do enjoy father's day, father's grandads, and we hope you can spend some time with them. many of us will have been enjoying the hot weather in recent days, but in some parts of western europe the temperatures have been particularly extreme, topping 4o celsius yesterday. areas of france peaked at 43 celsius and several cities there and in spain broke records for the month ofjune. you might expect them injuly and august, but this isjune. we'rejoined now by cat and mike smith, who own a campsite in the loire valley, and mike philpotts in the french city of carcassonne. good morning to you. mike and margaret are, we would think on the

your holiday, remember to drink lots water, thank you! we can speak now to the climate scientist robert vautard. he is in paris. good morning to you. we heard from some holiday—makers and business is coping with the heat. how unprecedented is this sort of temperature at this time of year in france? if of temperature at this time of year in france? . in france? it is quite unprecedented. i in france? it is quite unprecedented. we l in france? it is quite i unprecedented. we had in france? it is quite _ unprecedented. we had records broken in the south—west especially but in many places, in the centre of france and also in the south of france. it is a widespread, record—breaking heatwave that we have had in the last few days. i heatwave that we have had in the last few days-— heatwave that we have had in the last few days. i know that you have been discussing _ last few days. i know that you have been discussing this. _ last few days. i know that you have been discussing this. and - last few days. i know that you have been discussing this. and it i last few days. i know that you have been discussing this. and it is i been discussing this. and it is probably too early to determine quite what the causes are. but it is very clear that the number of incidents of temperatures reaching these highs are becoming more

feedback that can expect from agriculture as well but the first one is really human health. i wanted to talk about — one is really human health. i wanted to talk about that _ one is really human health. i wanted to talk about that risk _ one is really human health. i wanted to talk about that risk of _ one is really human health. i wanted to talk about that risk of human i to talk about that risk of human health. we can take some action to mitigate some of that heat with insulation and making buildings and cities and towns better at coping with it, but there is still a huge risk to people as a result of these record temperatures.— risk to people as a result of these record temperatures. fortunately the e . isode is record temperatures. fortunately the episode is not — record temperatures. fortunately the episode is not too _ record temperatures. fortunately the episode is not too long _ record temperatures. fortunately the episode is not too long for _ record temperatures. fortunately the episode is not too long for the i episode is not too long for the moment, in 2003 the length and duration of the heatwave was very long. it was two weeks long, so that was when we had a number of casualties. but now, we are facing another problem. there are some vulnerable people from the health point of view, and we have exams for

children and for students at the moment, and there is an issue of unfairness for those who are vulnerable. so, it really needs to be considered seriously.- be considered seriously. really interesting _ be considered seriously. really interesting to _ be considered seriously. really interesting to have _ be considered seriously. really interesting to have your- be considered seriously. really i interesting to have your thoughts, thank you for being with us, robert vautard, french climate scientist joining us from paris. we are gratefulfor joining us from paris. we are grateful for your joining us from paris. we are gratefulfor your time, thank you. grateful for your time, thank you. the gratefulfor your time, thank you. the shape of things to come, perhaps. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. 22, not unreasonable? certainly more comfortable. this is the maximum temperatures expected today, a quieter story across the country, a fresh feel to the weather, if you have not stepped out already you'll certainly notice when you do so, and the wind direction has changed the north—westerly, hence the reason for that cool air source. some scattered showers around at the moment to the north—west of the great glen into northern ireland, one or two running down into the cheshire gap and that

weather front lingering off the channel coast which may continue to break across the west country and down into the isles of scilly, some showers here. in terms of the feel of the weather, without risk, north—westerly flow, expose north and west facing codes, temperatures down at around 14—17, but they may well peek into the low 20s if we get the sunshine staying with us for some time. this evening we could see some time. this evening we could see some scattered showers for a time through the south—east. they will ease away. clear skies further north, low single figures in the far north, low single figures in the far north of scotland. a fresh appeal once again first thing. monday will actually be fine and dry with a sunny start to the day, pleasant enough, for many, and as we keep a lot of sunshine coming through, it will stay like that for most. this weather front will gradually introduce more cloud and rain into the north—west of scotland through monday morning. it will bring some light, patchy rain with it as it does, then, we will start to see

some cloud pushing into central scotland and northern ireland by the middle of the afternoon. hopefully, plenty of sunshine ahead of that so temperatures will respond. the highest value is likely to be in the far south—east, as we see temperatures peaking at around 22—23 celsius, that a 73 fahrenheit. from tuesday onwards once again we will see more warmth developing and temperatures could bounce back up into wales and parts of southern england into the high 20s. that is potentially close to 80 fahrenheit. it will not be quite as extreme as a recent heatwave we have just seen and we could see some thundery showers potentially moving in into the weekend, then it is a bit more unsettled. back to you too.- unsettled. back to you too. thank ou, unsettled. back to you too. thank you. louise- _ unsettled. back to you too. thank you, louise. this _ unsettled. back to you too. thank you, louise. this is _ unsettled. back to you too. thank you, louise. this is exciting. i when teenagers georgie and tilly entered a cbbc competition to see if they had what it takes to become pop stars, they could never have dreamed they'd end up performing on stage at radio one's big weekend. well, that's exactly

what happened last month, and now a programme documenting their time at the festival has been released on iplayer. it shows them meeting some of the world's biggest artists backstage. let's take a look. # there's a boy i know it's sigrid! how's it going? good. there was one high note. i heard one of you. that would be her. yeah. i remember i stopped my interview being like that was so crazy. with two of us performing there's a decision to be made.

hello, this is breakfast with nina warhurst and ben thompson. commuters are bracing themselves for the biggest rail strikes in decades this week so how might the disruptions affect people and the economy?

let's speak to anna—jane hunter who is a railway operations consultant and kate nicholls from hospitality uk. it seems inevitable these strokes will now go ahead and maybe any last—minute talks are unlikely to deliver any results. people should prepare for a very difficult week, shouldn't they?— prepare for a very difficult week, shouldn't they? everybody should check before _ shouldn't they? everybody should check before the _ shouldn't they? everybody should check before the travel _ shouldn't they? everybody should check before the travel and - shouldn't they? everybody should check before the travel and the i check before the travel and the reality is even last—minute socks if they are successful, the planning is already gone into the strike preparations and it is really difficult to unpick those plans of the last minute so the disruption will go ahead. flan the last minute so the disruption will go ahead-— the last minute so the disruption will go ahead. can you give us an overview of— will go ahead. can you give us an overview of what _ will go ahead. can you give us an overview of what has _ will go ahead. can you give us an overview of what has happened l will go ahead. can you give us an| overview of what has happened in will go ahead. can you give us an - overview of what has happened in the lead up to this and how it has come to this? , ., , lead up to this and how it has come to this? , .,, , to this? this has been the culmination _ to this? this has been the culmination of _ to this? this has been the culmination of a _ to this? this has been the culmination of a few - to this? this has been the} culmination of a few years to this? this has been the i culmination of a few years of developments, not least the pandemic

and accelerating different travel behaviours we have seen and people working from home and commuting declining. the railway has a funding gap at the moment in terms of money coming in and the amount needed from taxpayers and there are only two lines of funding to keep the real be going and the government propped up the industry to the tune of £16 billion during the pandemic and no one has had a pay rise for a few years, that is not unique to the railway, so you put all that together along with a hefty modernisation agenda needed to try to address those issues to make the real be viable and bring it into the zist real be viable and bring it into the 21st century, we have a mishmash between terms and conditions and p expected on the one hand from the workers and their union representatives and what the government rail can afford to pay for that and that is really what they discussions about. —— the government and network rail. for

hear the view of the rmt that its workers have not had a pay rise since before the pandemic and the say they represent all workers not just all those in the real industry when it comes to the need for a pay rise, will be any sympathy for that plight? i rise, will be any sympathy for that li . ht? ~' . , rise, will be any sympathy for that .l|. ht? ~' ., , , plight? i think there has been initial sympathy _ plight? i think there has been initial sympathy but _ plight? i think there has been initial sympathy but if - plight? i think there has been initial sympathy but if this - plight? i think there has been i initial sympathy but if this goes plight? i think there has been - initial sympathy but if this goes on this will_ initial sympathy but if this goes on this will be a week of disruption and it— this will be a week of disruption and it may— this will be a week of disruption and it may be more than that across the summer— and it may be more than that across the summerand i and it may be more than that across the summer and i suspect patients may wear— the summer and i suspect patients may wear thin and it is notjust where — may wear thin and it is notjust where we — may wear thin and it is notjust where we work feel like that, i am very aware — where we work feel like that, i am very aware of that, lots of people feel they — very aware of that, lots of people feel they have not had a pay rise for years — feel they have not had a pay rise for years and deserve one and with the cost _ for years and deserve one and with the cost of— for years and deserve one and with the cost of living crisis on top of that we — the cost of living crisis on top of that we are _ the cost of living crisis on top of that we are all feeling the pinch at the moment. i that we are all feeling the pinch at the moment. lam that we are all feeling the pinch at the moment. i am sure the union is aware _ the moment. i am sure the union is aware of— the moment. i am sure the union is aware of that— the moment. i am sure the union is aware of that but clearly there are some _ aware of that but clearly there are some issues that are of great importance around terms and conditions and working practices and redundancies so those are really big issues _ redundancies so those are really big issues that— redundancies so those are really big issues that need to be top through in these _ issues that need to be top through in these negotiations.— in these negotiations. there are wider issues _ in these negotiations. there are wider issues because _ in these negotiations. there are

are on tuesday, thursday and saturday but as ever with these things it often means that train staff are in the wrong place for the daysin staff are in the wrong place for the days in between so it could mean disruption across the entire week. and also productions lots of people get onto the railways trying to ahead of the strike on tuesday so do be prepared for disruptions tomorrow. now sport. jack nicklaus as the only man who has one both titles. england's matt fitzpatrick holds a share of the lead going into the final day of the us open golf.

he's alongside the american will zalatoris at the top of the leaderboard on four under par, while rory mcilroy, chasing a first major since 2014 is just three shots behind. joe lynskey reports. in the trees of massachusetts, they are rarely far from the trapdoor. brookline is a golf course thick with hazards. it can bring out new approaches. but one man from sheffield has tamed the conditions. this is matt fitzpatrick who takes aim at first win at a major, in the form of his life.

this is the course where fitzpatrick won amateur golf�*s biggest prize. now he owns the joint lead on the last day at one of the great senior titles. rory mcilroy has gone eight years without winning one and his due some luck. in round three, he fell back but then recovered. still in touch, just three shots behind the lead. and on the last day, that could all change. joe lynskey, bbc news there was a stunning conclusion to the aramco team series on the women's european tour. england's bronte law was one shot off the lead when she had this putt for eagle on her very last hole.

she holed it to leapfrog compatriot georgia hall into the lead and to take the title at the centurion club in hertfordshire. leicester tigers are premiership rugby champions for the first time in nine years following a narrow win over saracens. replacement fly—half freddie burns, slotted the winning drop goal with just moments of the final remaining to seal a record 11th title for the club. it caps a remarkable return to winning ways, coming just two seasons after they finished a lowly 11th in the table. red bull's max verstappen will start on pole for the canadian grand prix after a rain—affected verstappen topped the time sheets in every qualifying session and will start on the front row alongside another veteran fernando alonso. ferrari's carlos sainz will start third while after all the struggles — there was a surprise fourth place with wimbledon just around the corner last year's runner up there matteo berrettini may be one to watch — as he moved a step closer only recently back from injury — he's into the final after beating the dutchman botic van de zandschulp in straight sets. berrettini will face a surprise opponent in the final — serbia's filip krajinovic. the world number 48 heat the seventh seed marin cilic — also in straight sets. he was proposed to in his interview after the match yesterday and said let me think about it, which i think

was a soft normal. steffi graff did marie agassi after this and was asked will you marry me and then passed for around 25 seconds and then said the classic line, how much money do you have? —— and then she paused. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. look at this beautiful sunrise. i am stopped in the windowless broom cupboard of the studio but it warms my heart when i see photographs like this and see what i am missing at the moment. this was staffordshire a little earlier on. a beautiful story

for many. it is fresh for many but there are some sunshine and look how glorious across norfolk at the moment and a stunning picture here. it looks as though we will continue to see a good deal of sunshine today. there are some contrasting weather conditions out there. this low pressure is enhancing a few showers in the far north—west of scotland and a stiff breeze. just off the english channel coastjust flopped with sussex and kent and producing some showers. that will linger there and there is the risk of some sharp showers across the channel islands and the south—west as we go through the afternoon. that brisk north—westerly breeze will dry and a little more cloud across england and wales but not a bad day, particularly with a little more shelter. on exposed coasts it will feel cooler, iii shelter. on exposed coasts it will feel cooler, 1a to 17 degrees. on the south—east coast we will see temperatures recover into the low 20s. through the evening for the

showers are likely across the south—east, more widespread into the south—west accompanied by gusts of winds of 30 to a0 mph. clear skies for the north were temperatures will fall away so a chilly start in more rural parts of scotland with them just down to five or 6 degrees. on monday a good deal of dry weather to begin with a good deal of sunshine coming through. it is likely to stay that way for most of us but this weather front will enhance some cloud and eventually some light showed rain into the far north—west so as we go through the day on monday clouding over, rain pushing into the western isles and then north—west of the great glen, clothing or to northern ireland eventually but a lot of sunshine to the bulk of the day and generally elsewhere dry, settled and sunny and a degree of soul warmer. temperatures could peak around 20 to 23 degrees. in the middle part of the weak high pressure look set to dominate and the warmth will return. that will come as welcome news for

many. we keep some cloud across scotland and northern ireland once again on tuesday and that means the temperatures will be a little more subdued but again we will see that one direction swing round to more of a south—westerly and temperatures will climb and we could see 25 degrees somewhere across england stop that will be on tuesday afternoon. the one stays with us in the middle of the week particularly for england and wales were temperatures potentially getting back up into the high 20s but we could see some sharper showers and a cooler feel returning by the weekend. from building cars to cleaning carpets, robots already play a large part in our day to day lives, and they could now be coming to a farm near you. as many farmers struggle to find people to help with everything from weeding to harvesting — robots could fill the gap. david gregory—kumar reports.

this isn't a trial or an experiment, this robot was bought from a local farm machinery dealer, and it planted and is now looking after this crop of delphiniums. it's something none of us have ever really seen before, and especially working on... we're very manual labour on ourfarm, everything is drilled in the springtime, it's picked by hand, it's long, laborious tasks, and having that drill it's pretty magic. delphiniums are planted in early march and it takes about a month for the seeds to send up shoots. weeding by hand, you have to wait until then before you can start. but the robot knows where every seed is, millions of them, so once planted, it can start weeding the very next day. and if you want to know what it would look like if the robot wasn't here, well this is a patch of field where it hasn't been weeding, and as you can see, there is a mat

of green weeds right up to the end of the field. and that's why farmers are notjust using it for flowers, but nearby also for fodder beet, and even spring onions. people are still needed to pick the odd weed the robot misses in these shropshire fields, but while delphiniums usually cost around £1000 a hectare to weed by hand, this year the bill is likely to be a tenth of that. does it not come with a delphinium setting? no, it doesn't, funnily enough. over the last couple of years we have realised there is a labour shortage, we are not the only industry suffering from that, and we were looking at ways that we could cut costs, and make our product viable to the consumer. i could see us having up to ten of them as a fleet. it runs on sunshine, so fuel costs are zero, and with fewer people around to do hard manual labour like weeding, suddenly, the farming robots are here. that was david gregory—kumar reporting.

a film about a sheep farmer from west wales, who's only ever left the country once, and has eaten the same meal for more than ten years, has won an award at an international film festival. heart valley follows the life of wilf davies, who loves nothing more than being on his farm — looking after his sheep. here's a little look. i work every day, mostly to keep me happy. my sheep enjoy having plenty of land. they don't want to be locked in the small paddock. the sheep really like me, especially when i go out and feed for them.

they recognise my voice. we can speak now to kiran sidhu, whose original article about wilf inspired the film, and dr kate woodward, a lecturer in film studies at aberystwyth university. what was it wilf that challenge you? is it good because he _ wilf that challenge you? is it good because he is _ wilf that challenge you? is it good because he is so _ wilf that challenge you? is it good because he is so different - wilf that challenge you? is it good because he is so different from i wilf that challenge you? is it good | because he is so different from me and we think in life because someone is different from us they have nothing to teachers but on the contrary they have everything to teach us and i have learned so much from wilf and i wanted to shoot it. i find from wilf and i wanted to shoot it. ifind myself from wilf and i wanted to shoot it. i find myself completely mesmerised by harry did things that are beautiful gentle place and he is happy with his world and thinks it is all you need from life and it makes me think why do we have to
