9:02 am
good morning and welcome to bbc news. prices are continuing to rise at their fastest rate for a0 years, as food, energy and fuel costs continue to climb. uk inflation, the rate at which prices rise, edged up to 9.1% in the 12 months to may, up from 9% in april, the office for national statistics has said. the figure is now at the highest level since march 1982. the bank of england has warned inflation will reach 11% later this year. our business correspondent emma simpson reports on how the rising cost of living is affecting how we all shop. if i haven't got the money, i can't eat. you see lots of things that are on cheap, we buy them and freeze them. definitely shopping around, looking for what's cheaper and where. - it's here in the supermarket aisles you get a taste of how the rising cost of living is starting to bite. we buy less and we buy cheaper products, unfortunately.
9:03 am
we can't usually afford to buy all the named product stuff so we have to go and buy the essential stuff. if they're not going to give us the wage rises, we can't compete with inflation, we're suffering. at britain's third—biggest grocer, they know that their customers are feeling the pain, too. people are trading back, they're worried about spending, they've got a limit that they set out to, they say £30 is my limit and if they gets more than £30, that's it, stop. it's the same with petrol. what we're seeing is massive change in behaviour. we haven't had significant inflation in this country for many, many years. i am of a generation that could remember what it was like last time. once it gets hold, it's quite pernicious and it takes a long time to eradicate so people are fearful. we have launched a range ofjust essentials— we have launched a range ofjust essentials and invested nearly £100 million _ essentials and invested nearly £100 million in _ essentials and invested nearly £100 million in the last month or so to make _ million in the last month or so to make sure — million in the last month or so to make sure customers are getting essentials— make sure customers are getting essentials to try to ease them through— essentials to try to ease them through the burden.
9:04 am
the squeeze is on. prices everywhere are heading in one direction at the moment. the bank of england warned last week that inflation could hit 11% by the autumn. the challenge is how to bring the cost of living down without tipping the economy into recession. this retail veteran thinks policymakers were slow to act. so what's rather sad is, the country, the government, perhaps the bank of england, didn't see inflation coming quickly. they have now recognised that. i did point out last year, and i wasn't the only one, that at the end of covid there was a train coming down the tunnel and the train had a big flashing light on the top and that flashing light said, inflation, inflation, inflation. and we just sort of said, well, maybe the train willjust go through. he doesn't want to predict where it will stop, but he would like to see more government help for those most in need. emma simpson, bbc news, stevenage. what can the government do about
9:05 am
this? it is a big conundrum for the government and the bank of england which is already raised rates to try to wear in the middle of the worst cost of living crisis for half a century and as well as the bank of england clearly there is pressure on the government to do more. they are having to work out what tools they can deploy both to try to ease the pressure on peoples pockets but also because in the context of the rail dispute going on now work out what sort of public sector pay settlements that should be in the coming months because that argument is if there are public sector pay settlements far outstripping inflation that will cause a spiral and something the deputy prime dominic raab minister said this morning. dominic raab minister said this morninu. , ., .
9:06 am
morning. there is whole package we have ut in morning. there is whole package we have put in place _ morning. there is whole package we have put in place for— morning. there is whole package we have put in place for those _ have put in place for those struggling to make ends meet, £15 billion and cuts in national insurance and the energy rebate in october so we do understand and feel very much for those facing that. at the same time, one of the things that will keep inflation higherfor longer as if we don't have pay restraint in the context of the public sector, in particular with the strikes, and that is why we need to protect and stand firm, for example on the rmt strike because if we allow wages to go up by too much, we allow wages to go up by too much, we will see spiralling the vicious cycle of inflation undermining pay packets, particularly their most vulnerable workers for longer. talks between the — vulnerable workers for longer. talks between the rmt _ vulnerable workers for longer. talks between the rmt and _ vulnerable workers for longer. talks between the rmt and network, real continue today but it is other unions as well. public sector unions
9:07 am
looking on at what is happening without industrial dispute and this morning unison which represents lots of workers in the nhs says inflation has hit another high, little short of a nightmare and key workers need decent wages and the fear of ministers right now is as prices increase so fast i will be demands increase so fast i will be demands in the private sector and the public sector for much greater pay increases to deal with this rising inflation. lucy powell is the labour spokesman and she said there is more the government can do to help people with the pain and their pockets. indie with the pain and their pockets. we do with the pain and their pockets. - do kneel to deed —— we do need to deal with that and there are some things i think the government could do to reduce inflation such as cutting vat on energy bills, something they said they wanted to do as part of leaving the european
9:08 am
union but haven't done that. that would take some pressure out of inflation but they also need to support families dealing with the cost of living crisis and we are not seeing enough of that. last month rishi sunak _ seeing enough of that. last month rishi sunak announced _ seeing enough of that. last month rishi sunak announced another - seeing enough of that. last month i rishi sunak announced another mini budget with another £15 billion and borrowing to try to help the poorest households and i'm sure we will hear questions at prime minister's question time for more and i don't think anything is expected this side of the summer recess in terms of government action, they feel they have done enough for now but this question of high inflation and the way it will cool the economy for two years to come as no the defining feature of politics. train services face further disruption this morning after yesterday's strike action — despite no walk—outs
9:09 am
taking place today. talks between network rail and the rmt union will take place later this morning, but tomorrow's strike is likely to go ahead anyway — and rail bosses say today's services will be "thinner" than usual. our consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith has more. the first day of rail strikes may be over but the problems are not. today is a just 24—hour breather before more strikes planned for tomorrow and saturday. while the full rail network is technically operational today, it's far from a normal day on the tracks. trains are in the wrong place, staff are starting later than usual, and trains that usually leave depots at 3am didn't begin to move until five. that means 6,000 of today's usual services will not even leave the sidings. so it's more headaches for passengers with plenty already feeling frustrated. it took me, like, four hours to get to here. it's an absolute joke, mate, you know what i mean? there are further problems for bus passengers across yorkshire as the arriva bus strike continues, leaving even fewer public transport options.
9:10 am
i think they deserve it but can we afford to give everybody a raise? it's better news for london commuters as the tube strike is finished but services don't begin until rush hour and passengers are being told not to expect a normal service until mid—morning. so, is there an end in sight? the rhetoric doesn't sound positive. the government called the strikes unnecessary aggravations and rail bosses say they need big modernisations before they can offer higher pay, which unions object to. we are modern, we are always prepared to change. we use some of the most high—tech technology going, with some of the most flexible workers in any industry. we work 21w, around the clock, seven days a week, in all types of shifts. what the government wants to do is to cut its wage bill in order to protect the profits of the private companies in our industry who have been stripping out millions
9:11 am
and billions in fact. and we don't think that's modern. a fresh round of talks begins this morning. a deal today could be in time to prevent the third strike planned for saturday, but not to stop more disruption today and tomorrow. kathryn stanczyszyn has the latest from birmingham new street station. it is getting a little busier here but still absolutely not back to normal. that is something causing a bit of a problem to some of the passengers here who did not realise that would be the case. i have been chatting to one chap who had booked the day off work yesterday and tomorrow because of the rail strikes would have thought about today. his train journey as delayed by two hours. this is the bridging day between two days of strike action
9:12 am
and the main destruction is about a later start. and the main destruction is about a laterstart. new and the main destruction is about a later start. new street only opened at 7am, an hour orso later start. new street only opened at 7am, an hour or so later than normal and that is because staff who were on strike overnight office they haven't been end to set up this morning so control room staff, signallers, people important in getting the trains to the destination is the need to be out for the start of theirjourneys has come is that late start. not so much of an issue in places like london where the distance between the depot and starting point shorter but network rail says it could be up to four hours for some trains in remote areas to get to where they are going. 60% of services will run today so it is thinner on the ground anyway and we know that they might be winding down later tonight ahead of the strike action tomorrow as well. some people working from home instead some people can't do that but the advice is to plan ahead and todayit but the advice is to plan ahead and today it might take you a little bit longer to get to where you were going. earlier this morning the bbc
9:13 am
spoke to tim shoveller from network rail about how soon we can expect to see train services up and running again. the network is opening up and the staff are getting and i'm getting simpsons up as soon as possible. it normally starts about half past three and four in the morning in order to provide the peak services customers expect from six o'clock and seven o'clock. with stuff coming in from six o'clock or half past six we are behind where we would normally be and it will take until mid morning until services get back to the normal capacity but that has been planned so customers can use the national rail inquiries information site and the website to find out what trainers will be running. at least 280 people are feared
9:14 am
to have been killed in a powerful earthquake in afghanistan. the six point one quake struck overnight in the southeast of the country, with most of the confirmed deaths in a province called paktika. these are images of homes reduced to rubble. but the extent of the damage is still emerging. a local official says the number of dead is likely to rise, as rescue efforts continue in outlying villages. at least 150 people are injured. hikmatullah esmat is head of the provincial health body in paktia. he told the bbc that the number of casualties was likely to go up. buildings are collapsing. there are no concrete buildings and there are bodies underneath. health workers and all of them are working together.
9:15 am
our correspondent secunder kermani is in the afghan capital, kabul. the earthquake struck late last night and we felt powerful tremors here in the capital, kabul. they were also felt across the border in the pakistani capital islamabad. the full extent of the destruction is only gradually becoming more clear this morning because the epicentre is in a very rural part of the south—eastern province of paktika, reports that we are getting from local officials there suggest that a large number of people unfortunately have been killed, and a large number of houses have been destroyed. health facilities in the immediate area are pretty basic, helicopters are being used to ferry some of the injured to hospital. the taliban have been calling on aid agencies to reach the scene and help provide humanitarian support. this crisis, of course, coming on top of an existing humanitarian crisis in afghanistan, with more than 19 people facing acute levels of hunger. the headlines on bbc news: new figures show the price
9:16 am
we're paying for food, fuel and gas and electricity continues to rise at the fastest rate for a0 years. talks to resolve the rail dispute continue — and so does the disruption, with only 60% of services running today. with only 60% at least 280 people are reported dead — and scores injured — after a powerful earthquake in afghanistan. the european court of human rights block on sending asylum seekers to rwanda could be overturned by ministers under new proposals. the plan, being introduced to parliament today, would allow ministers to ignore the court's rulingss without abandoning the human rights act altogether. critics say the proposals are unneccesary and a leap backwards,
9:17 am
strengthen our british tradition of liberty and freedom, particularly for example freedom of speech which we have seen rewarded in various ways of liberty which guards of others and i think we can expand it, give it greater priortisation, and that is a very british approach, uk—wide approach to human rights. i think if you look dating back from magna carta throughout history the same time the human rights act as licences are fuelled elastic approaches to human rights which is a lot of abuses of the system and so the changes that we will make,
9:18 am
and we are staying in the european convention on human rights, which is we are just changing the way it's interpreted and applied in the uk and making sure we can avail ourselves of what is called the margin of appreciation with the european court and the reason we want to do this is because we've got to be able to deport more foreign national offenders, they are trumping their deportation orders and frankly pretty spurious grounds and the parole reforms i'm putting through which will make sure we can prevent the risk to the public from most dangerous offenders, i think that will require reform of the human rights act as well. even things like we are seeing increasing, a good example of goalposts shifting, we've got terrorist offenders, extremist, inside prison, claiming the right to socialise under article eight in order to stop removal into separation centres to protect stability in the prison and protect the public, these are the kind of common—sense reforms that we will be able to make as a result of the bill of rights and i think that's what the public expect. we will be talking to an expert and hopefully explain it for you. facebook says it has removed a large number of accounts
9:19 am
and groups posting pictures and videos of upskirting — following an investigation by bbc news our research found thousands of users openly sharing obscene material of women and girls, which was taken in public without their consent. angus crawford has the story. a man filming on his phone and following a schoolgirl, up some steps to a train station. he is about to put the device under her skirt. we're not going to show you what he filmed next. but it's freely available on facebook. "what a greatjob," someone comments. the man who took the film runs a facebook group with hundreds of members and writes, "i was on a mission with this one, and i finally got her". members of these groups are all using anonymous accounts, so it's almost impossible to know who they really are. that video of the schoolgirl appears to be in the us. but we also found men posting content from here in the uk. we've censored all the images in our report. this one was taken without her knowledge or consent. it is captioned, "ready for the mile high club". "she looks awesome," says one group member.
9:20 am
"manchester airport has a great view," says another. a third, "oh, damn, that's nice". we reported that photograph and some of the comments, but facebook said they didn't go against their community standards. since 2019, upskirting, taking photographs under someone's clothing without consent, has been illegal. yet when we reported images from those groups, none of them are taken down. when morgan was 15, a man filmed her in a changing room cubicle. she has campaigned ever since against upskirting and harassment. it's disgusting. it's horrid. it's horrible to see that men are supporting other men for doing such things like this, it's horrid. given your own experience, how does it make you feel about some of the girls and young women who they've been filming?
9:21 am
the worst part about it is that they probably don't even know that it's happened to them. and they're just waiting to find it online. god forbid they do. because that will ruin them to know that so many men have not only seen that photo, but also praised it. it's not right. and there's more. we found group members sharing tips on upskirting, including this british man. we reported his posts but again were told they didn't breach community standards. it's money to them, isn't it? the more users, the more photos, the more comments that are on the photos, the more cash that they get. so i don't think they are as worried as what they should be about it. because this will start to grow. the bigger that facebook gets, this will get worse. so upskirting makes facebook money? yeah. pretty much. so stalking women and girls, taking intimate pictures and sharing them, illegal in the uk,
9:22 am
is apparently fine on facebook. and that shocked mpjess phillips, who has campaigned for women's safety all her career. oh, god. poor girl. what is wrong with facebook? what are your initial thoughts about facebook, what it's doing? i mean, i don't know how they can think that that is not beyond their community standards. the sheer lack of any culpability is just grist to the mill of these people. that people feel that they can post it publicly without any criticism or consequences for them, that's just encouraging them. i would say not just facebook are failing in their protection of people on their site,
9:23 am
and their privacy, and their dignity, they are colluding with abusers. meta, which owns facebook, told us, upskirting was not allowed on the platform. and that following our investigation, it had removed a large number of groups and accounts, and will continue to remove violating content when it becomes aware of it. remember the man in the us following schoolgirls? facebook has taken down some of his posts, but others remain. so we have tipped off police in new york. they are now investigating. angus crawford, bbc news. charities say 1,000 children are being moved each week from one foster or care home placement to another. they warn it's unsettling and disturbing. a group of young people who've been in care will meet mps today to demand change. let's speak now to amy mook —
9:24 am
she's a care leaver and now studying for her phd. what do you think of these figures, 1000 young people move from placement to placement each week? i placement to placement each week? i think it is shocking and i want to firstly say i don't represent the opinions of all care leavers and people with care experience, i'm sure that the hundred people going to parliament today i care leavers and will have different opinions on everything and every topic but i think this is the shocking reality and we need to really recalibrate how we look at the care system. what how we look at the care system. what ou mean how we look at the care system. what you mean that? _ how we look at the care system. what you mean that? it's _ how we look at the care system. what you mean that? it's good _ how we look at the care system. what you mean that? it's good enough - you mean that? it's good enough havin: you mean that? it's good enough having this _ you mean that? it's good enough having this care _ you mean that? it's good enough having this care review _ you mean that? it's good enough having this care review and - you mean that? it's good enough having this care review and all. you mean that? it's good enough | having this care review and all the recommendations put in place but one of the recommendations as children leave care with at least two loving people in their lives and how can they possibly build that when they

it's a few things, really. firstly, they are being separated from the family and friends and often the local authority will try to do that and that will cost a lot in terms of taxi and it could be i was and i across country to see family members and maybe entertain that position at school but how long can that last if you're in a completely different city? the second is is if a child care is where i am from, if they get moved across the country, see up to scotland, the social worker from york that originally represented their case will continue with them and all that is a good thing and an element of stability that is costing taxpayers and everyone a lot of money in social workers having to move up and down the country to see each other and the people. what move up and down the country to see each other and the people.— each other and the people. what is the issue, each other and the people. what is the issue. is— each other and the people. what is the issue, is it _ each other and the people. what is the issue, is it a _ each other and the people. what is the issue, is it a light _ each other and the people. what is the issue, is it a light of— each other and the people. what is the issue, is it a light of foster - the issue, is it a light of foster carers, what is at the nub of this? i think it is a lack of foster carers but they are not meeting the

9:32 am
south—east. that is 82 fahrenheit. through this evening and overnight, a bit warmer, some storms across france could get close to the channel islands, may be the south coast later on. dry for the vast majority. temperatures around 10—15. failing that bit warmer across southern areas as we start tomorrow morning. not as hot cross it out tomorrow. mcleod will develop. if you are sporadic showers and thunderstorms, working their way into the midlands and wales later in the day. further north, stays dry, sunny spells. even more sunshine in scotland and parts of northern ireland. still hot in the sun. hello this is bbc news. the headlines: new figures show the price we're paying for food, fuel and gas and electricity continues to rise at the fastest rate for a0 years. talks to resolve the rail dispute continue — and so does the disruption, with only 60% of services running today.
9:33 am
at least 280 people are reported dead and scores injured after a powerful earthquake in afghanistan. the government is introducing legislation which would allow ministers to ignore european court rulings such as the decision to stop asylum seekers going to rwanda. facebook removes a large number of accounts posting pictures and videos of upskirting following an investigation by bbc news. sport — and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's jon watson. good morning. england captain eoin morgan will miss the third one—day international against the netherlands today with a groin problem. jos buttler will lead the side as they look to wrap up a 3—0 series win. morgan has been trying to manage the ongoing injury. the ecb have said his absence is precautionary. despite england's dominance
9:34 am
in the series, it's been a miserable trip on a personal level for morgan, whose future as limited overs captain is under scrutiny — he was bowled for two ducks. the third odi gets under way in the next half an hour. at lto years old, she's back and back with a win. but after a year away and having admitted she had doubts she'd ever return, what can we expect from one of the game's all time greats at wimbledon as she chases that elusive 24th grand slam? laura scott was there last night. it is a sight many in the tennis world doubted they would ever see again — serena willems stepping back onto court. —— serena williams stepping back onto court. after all, she hasn't played since slipping in the first round of wimbledon last year and hobbling off centre court. after 358 days away, she made her hotly anticipated return, playing doubles on the sunny
9:35 am
south coast, complete with facial plasters. there were signs of rustiness, yes. slips. and strikes, too. but then the comeback within the comeback. she and her partner ons jabeur clinching what had looked an unlikely victory. did she ever doubt she would get back to this point? absolutely. for sure. i would be dishonest if i said it wasn't. but, yeah... and now ijust... my body feels great. i mean, it is doubles, i am only playing half the court, but i have been doing a lot of training and so it definitely feels good. not perhaps a win of old, but a win nonetheless with wimbledon just days away. serena is not going there to make up the numbers, though she will need to be slicker if she is ever to achieve that record equalling 24th grand slam win. laura scott, bbc news, eastbourne. she will be back out on court again later.
9:36 am
well, the british players also put on a show on the south coast. we were hearing yesterday aboutjodie burrage's first round performance, but this one was even better. the world 169 beat top seed paula badosa in straight sets. that's the two biggest wins of her career in two days for the 23—year old. not to be outdone, katie boulter also won against a top ten opponent for the first time, beating last year's wimbledon finalist karolina pliskova. boulter was a wildcard for the tournament but managed to come from a set down to take victory. another briton is also through, dan evans with a 6—4, 6—3 win over france's adrian mannarino and he'll take on american maxime cressy today. and ryan peniston's great run on grass continues — he's into the last 16. the wildcard, who reached the quarter finals at queens last week, came from a set behind to beat french open quarter finalist holger rune.
9:37 am
he is also a wild card for wimbledon, another name to look out for next week. the saudi arabian—backed liv golf series are now expected to make another big move. four—time major champion brooks koepka is set to join the field, in the second event of the series that's shaken up the golfing world. he'll link up with the likes of dustinjohnson and bryson dechambeau in portland next week. the pga has suspended those who've joined the new tour. and romelu lukaku's return to english football will be a brief and rather expensive one. afterjust one largely unsuccessful season at chelsea, the belgian striker is heading back to italy to play for inter milan on loan — the club he left for stamford bridge for nearly £100 million just 12 months ago. he sored 15 goals, which works out at about £6.5 million a goal. iam not i am not sure that quite equates to value for money. that's all the sport for now.
9:38 am
it has just it hasjust gone it has just gone 25 to ten. good morning. the european court of human rights block on sending asylum seekers to rwanda could be overturned by ministers under new proposals. the plan, being introduced to parliament today, would allow ministers to ignore the court's rulings without abandoning the human rights act altogether. well, let's get reaction to this. joining us now, baroness helena kennedy qc, leading barrister and an expert in human rights law and civil liberties. hello, baroness kennedy. i really do not understand what the difference is between a bill of rights and the european convention of human rights, so i am really hoping we can talk in plain english. i suspect if you people will want to learn more about this. when i look at the european convention of human rights, i see it gives people the right to life, freedom from torture, freedom from slavery, the right to a fair trial, the right to respect for family and private life, freedom of expression. that is the european convention on
9:39 am
human rights. well all those things be in a british bill of rights? quite a number of them will be. i hope so. we were the people who created the european convention on human rights. it was drafted by a conservative lawyer. back in 1950. he was the attorney general, to led the way, encouraged by winston churchill, in order to create a set of values that would inform legal systems when legal systems might be getting things wrong. you sometimes need an external peer of ice to say, are you sure this is the right thing? —— matched pair of eyes. it is nothing to do with the european union, let's make that clear. it is often confused. this is not... lots often confused. this is not... lots of people who are wanting out of the european union seem to think the european union seem to think the european court of human rights was something to do with that, it is not. it was created as part of the council of europe. our government,

9:43 am
family, immigrate here, come to love in britain from the west indies or other parts of the world, and stay in this country, go to other schools, educated here, have their brothers and sisters all year, their mum and dad, and probably very little connection from the place which their family originally came, to send back to jamaica, a place they have only ever known on an occasional holiday, is a very painful thing to do, to separate them from their children. you are adding to that punishment for the crime committed, but you're notjust punishing him, you're often punishing him, you're often punishing the whole family by removing a father, by removing a child or brother. judges make those very careful decisions. there is no doubt they will sometimes get them wrong, but you do not remove the right for people to have a family life simply because they commit crime. you cannot see you do not have human rights because you committed a crime. we believe in rehabilitation, we have to keep working with people who commit crime. we should take their

know, kids need the most, they are being told it is tough if you cannot set your exams, you do not get anything. wejust set your exams, you do not get anything. we just want a fair teacher assessment to be applied. look at individual circumstances and give a fair grade where it is appropriate if somebody, through no fault of their own, cannot set the exam. ., ., . fault of their own, cannot set the exam. ., ., , ., ~ i. ., exam. how does it make you feel to see our exam. how does it make you feel to see your daughter _ exam. how does it make you feel to see your daughter having _ exam. how does it make you feel to see your daughter having this i see your daughter having this treatment for leukaemia, going through chemotherapy, and still having to try to do the exams? i think we would not expect adults to do it in the workplace at all. it would not be acceptable. the worry and stress it has caused her on top of her treatment, it is too much for kids. they should not have to deal with that. i initially assumed... one of the first things race asked when she found out she was really wise what about my exams? ijust
9:49 am
stupidly assumed that there was a compassionate route for exams boards to take in these circumstances. i was just really shocked that there is nothing in place. she could sit exams in hospital, but like she has said, when she is in hospital she is in hospitalfor a reason and she has been very poorly. to me, sitting exams in hospital is totally inappropriate.— exams in hospital is totally inauroriate. ., ., , , inappropriate. that does seem sli . htl inappropriate. that does seem slightly absurd. _ inappropriate. that does seem slightly absurd. there - inappropriate. that does seem slightly absurd. there is i inappropriate. that does seem slightly absurd. there is one i inappropriate. that does seem i slightly absurd. there is one more thing that the government see, that exam boards have this thing called a special consideration process. what that means is you take your exam, you still have to take it, but there can be a post—exam adjustment to a candidate's mark that can be given to students whose ability to complete their assessment has been affected by a temporary illness. i just got to take the exam. you have

9:53 am
in the welsh countryside. we are safe here. as soon as we step on this land, we felt it, we are safe. this small corner of welsh countryside has for the last two months become a haven for families fleeing war. the urdd centre normally hosts welsh schools, but it's ukrainian children who have been living, learning and laughing here. olena and kateryna arrived just a fortnight ago, escaping the life where their children had to hide in basements. everyone is so friendly. it's a big family here. yeah, i don't know everyone's name but there seems like, so close, it's just amazing. it feels like home. completely happy, both of my kids, they're just playing, they go to school every day. we travel, like, every week. so they're extremely happy. they feel safe here.

for the children, there are daily lessons in english and welsh, and a world of activities. so their parents can concentrate on finding work, accessing benefits, and figuring out where they go next. it's more than a hotel experience. it's important that there is an element of respite, tranquillity, when people are coming out of a very traumatic time of their lives. support for the parents, so have other people looking after the children, making sure they're active. the first refugees started arriving here in april. by now, there's over 220 adults and children, the youngestjust eight months old. this was only ever a temporary solution. the aim is to try and move all of the families on within the next month. in all, the welsh government directly sponsored nearly 2500 people to come to wales, most are yet to arrive so the scheme has been paused to move people on from welcome centres.

it is now a challenge to make sure that we are able to get a flow out of the welcome centres, to free up more spaces for people to arrive. the next few weeks is about getting that balance. we have to be able to get the flow out of the centre and then we will create spaces and we can open the scheme up and welcome more people into wales. we never expected that hospitality and that welcome. marta is one of many waiting to hear where she, her daughter and two grandchildren go next. but she says she isn't worried. her only fear is for the family she has left behind. half of my heart is left in ukraine. it is my son, my daughter—in—law. but we are safe here. that is the most important thing for us. that sanctuary has brought some certainty and for these children, most of all, the freedom to have fun again. hywel griffiths, bbc news.
