by the cost of bread, cereal and meat. it's the highest inflation figure since march 1982, and the bank of england has warned that it could reach 11% this year. our first report is from our business correspondent emma simpson. 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. we can't usually afford to buy all the named product staff, 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 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 get to more than £30, that's it, stop.

it's the same with petrol. what we're seeing is a massive change in behaviour. we haven't had significant inflation in this country for many, many years. i am of a generation that can 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. and inflation crept up again today, fuelled by rising food prices, up by 8.7% in may compared with a year ago. petrol and diesel were also higher, up by 33%, the biggest jump since records. jump since records began. supermarkets are battling to keep prices down. in the last month, asda has invested nearly £100 million in price cuts and new everyday essentials. 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. forecasters will make their predictions, you know, but i am confident that we're providing the right support to the economy at this time to help people ease through some of the challenges they're facing with the rising cost of living, and rebuild a stronger economy for the long term. the focus now is on what the bank of england will do next. so their next move, we think they're going to raise rates again come august. we think they'll raise by a quarter percentage point again, as they've been doing so far. but there is speculation that perhaps they may go even further. this retail veteran thinks policy makers were slow to act. so what's rather sad is that, the country, the government, perhaps the bank of england, didn't see inflation coming quickly. they've 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 this boss doesn't want to predict where it will stop. emma simpson, bbc news, stevenage.

let's speak to professor mairi spowage who's director of strathclyde university's fraser of allander economic research institute. thanks for being with us. we heard from the boss of asda saying the government and bank of england didn't see the inflation coming fast enough. do you agree with assessment? i enough. do you agree with assessment?— assessment? i think we as forecasters _ assessment? i think we as forecasters and _ assessment? i think we as i forecasters and economists, assessment? i think we as - forecasters and economists, it's been very difficult during this period to predict what will happen next. it's certainly the case that it was likely as economies around the world opened up, particularly last summer, that we would see a shortage of some particular goods which were likely to increase inflation. alongside that we had huge demand for gas worldwide as countries look to decarbonise their economy which also pushed up inflation. so it's easy to say with hindsight. i think there was some expectation we would see inflation

increasing given supply chain disruptions but i think maybe a year or two ago no one thought it would go quite this high. we or two ago no one thought it would go quite this high.— go quite this high. we have heard from the government _ go quite this high. we have heard from the government saying - go quite this high. we have heard from the government saying they| go quite this high. we have heard - from the government saying they will do all they can to try to manage this inflation. the bank of england predicting it could go as high as 11% by the autumn. between the bank of england and the government what tools do they have at their disposal tools do they have at their disposal to try to dampen this down? the bank of encland to try to dampen this down? the bank of england have _ to try to dampen this down? the bank of england have made _ to try to dampen this down? the bank of england have made it _ to try to dampen this down? the bank of england have made it clear - to try to dampen this down? the bank of england have made it clear that - of england have made it clear that there is likely to be, it seems like there is likely to be, it seems like there is likely to be further rate rises as we go through the year. although the npc were not unanimous on the rate rise they imposed last week, others on the committee wanted to raise it further. we are likely to raise it further. we are likely to see increasing rate rises. they have also made it clear, the bank of england, that their role is in the medium term to try to manage down inflation towards target and they have predicted that the economy is likely to contract significantly at the end of this year as a result of further price rises, the energy price cap rise and so on. it's

likely many will look to the government to think about further fiscal measures to support households and businesses through a difficult time to get to the other side. ~ . , difficult time to get to the other side. ~ ., , ., , ., ., side. what is the other side? how do we aet side. what is the other side? how do we net to side. what is the other side? how do we get to the — side. what is the other side? how do we get to the other _ side. what is the other side? how do we get to the other side? _ side. what is the other side? how do we get to the other side? we - side. what is the other side? how do we get to the other side? we heard l we get to the other side? we heard from stuart rose saying once inflation takes hold it is hard to bring it back down again so how does it happen? we bring it back down again so how does it ha en? ~ ., ., bring it back down again so how does it hauen? . ., ., , it happen? we have to remember with inflation we are _ it happen? we have to remember with inflation we are looking _ it happen? we have to remember with inflation we are looking at _ it happen? we have to remember with inflation we are looking at prices - inflation we are looking at prices compared to a year ago. so once we get into the very end of this year we will be comparing the prices which were much higher at the end of last year, so we are going to likely seek the inflationary rate start to come down as we will probably not have the same level of price rises as we did before.— as we did before. really good to talk to you. _ as we did before. really good to talk to you, thank _ as we did before. really good to talk to you, thank you _ as we did before. really good to talk to you, thank you for - as we did before. really good to talk to you, thank you for your l talk to you, thank you for your analysis. fresh talks are underway between union leaders and rail bosses to try to end the biggest rail strike in britain for 30 years. millions of people were affected

yesterday after workers walked out in a dispute about pay, job losses and conditions. disruption is continuing today, and further strikes are due tomorrow and on saturday. 0ur correspondent ben king has this report. waiting for the first train of the day at birmingham new street, as the rail network gradually reopens after day one of the biggest strike for 30 years. with trains out of place and some night shift workers absent, there's still lots of disruption, even though there is no strike today. i arrived here this morning at 6:45am. i'm not going to get to my destination until two hours later than normal. and it is a bit annoying. travellers coming into london had mixed experiences. it wasn't actually too bad, i knew the time the train was going to go and it went on time so ijust planned around it. i respect anyone that feels . they are being hard done by, and hopefully they will get what they want out of it. l i employ about 20 people and it's a disaster. it's coming back to the lockdown times, which is something

really disappointing. this is london bridge, a major rail hub bringing commuters into the city. despite some disruption, cancellations and a reduced timetable, as you can see, lots of people have made it in today. but with only six out of ten trains running across the network as a whole, the advice is as always, if you must travel, check before you leave home. if you are travelling after ten o'clock tonight it varies from region to region and operator to operator so it is worth going on those websites, looking what the timetable looks like for tonight after ten o'clock and ensuring that you don't miss your last train. the rmt union is meeting network rail and the train operating companies to try once again to resolve the dispute. but even if they do make a breakthrough, it would be too late to avert the chaos coming tomorrow, the second day of the strike. a third walk—out is planned for saturday. in the commons today, labour called once again on the government to get directly involved. why doesn't he do his job,

get round the table and get the trains running? mr speaker, we are making sure that we are doing everything we can to prevent these strikes. as he knows, it is up to the railway companies to negotiate. that is theirjob. we have spent £16 billion looking after the railways, mr speaker. merseyrail struck a 7% pay deal with a different union today and network rail said a deal with the rmt was close yesterday. travellers will be hoping they can get it over the line soon. ben king, bbc news. 0ur consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith is at the bradford forster square station and has more from there. fit, forster square station and has more from there-— from there. a slow start today with [en of from there. a slow start today with plenty of trains _ from there. a slow start today with plenty of trains in _ from there. a slow start today with plenty of trains in the _ from there. a slow start today with plenty of trains in the wrong - from there. a slow start today with plenty of trains in the wrong place, little preparation able to be done overnight to the rolling stock across the uk. there have been reductions and cancellations that i have seen today crossing the pennines, lots of them last a minute for some of those passengers. people

in afghanistan, officials say one thousand people have died, and more than 1500 have been injured, after a powerful earthquake struck the east of the country. the extent of the damage is still emerging, but photos posted on social media show houses reduced to rubble in the province of paktika, one of the areas worst affected by the 6.1 magnitude quake. 0ur correspondentjon donnison has this report. in remote eastern afghanistan, there were chaotic scenes as the first military assistance arrived. local people bringing forward the dead and injured, desperate for help. the quake, with a magnitude of 6.1, struck in the middle of the night, as many were sleeping. translation: it was midnight when the quake struck. - the kids and i screamed. one of our rooms was destroyed. 0ur neighbours all screamed, too, when we saw everyone's rooms. with health care basic here at the best of times,

makeshift field hospitals have been set up. in this part of afghanistan, a lot of the houses are mud built and were no match for the force of the quake. the taliban is trying to coordinate an aid operation with the red crescent and has called for international help, but since the islamist group took power last year, foreign assistance has dried up — and all this in a country already in the midst of a humanitarian catastrophe, ravaged by drought, famine and poverty. jon donnison, bbc news. maryann home is the special adviser to the international federation of red cross. welcome and thanks for being on the programme. what have you heard from your co—workers on the ground? have they managed to contact people or reach the area affected? yes. they managed to contact people or reach the area affected?— they managed to contact people or reach the area affected? yes. and i can't convey — reach the area affected? yes. and i can't convey the — reach the area affected? yes. and i can't convey the sense _ reach the area affected? yes. and i can't convey the sense of _ can't convey the sense of desperation there is in afghanistan

today. the teams of the afghan red crescent have reached the area. they have been working since the early hours of the morning in the regions most affected stop the province in your report, as well as some other towns in the region. the epicentre was there, but really an earthquake of this magnitude in an area where the homes and infrastructure is not the homes and infrastructure is not the strongest, will have left entire villages demolished. the staff and volunteers have mobilised. there are trucks now leaving kabul and have been during the day leaving with everything from food, medicine, shelter, specialist teams to assist with recovery efforts. there are estimates of dozens, if not hundreds of people still trapped in rubble. and obviously the survivors of the

earthquake will need urgent assistance wherever they are today. what have the taliban said about the hope that it might help they are able to offer, the support and assistance and whether or not outside help can come in? the afghan red crescent — outside help can come in? the afghan red crescent is _ outside help can come in? the afghan red crescent is able _ outside help can come in? the afghan red crescent is able to _ outside help can come in? the afghan red crescent is able to access - outside help can come in? the afghan red crescent is able to access those i red crescent is able to access those in need and will be carrying out these assessments in the hours and days to come. but what we can say is that in afghanistan today the country is already on its knees. afghanistan is one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world and this earthquake is just one additional development in a country where there is no food, there is no cash, there are nojobs where there is no food, there is no cash, there are no jobs and where there is no food, there is no cash, there are nojobs and people are already, over 50% of people are having to depend on emergency humanitarian assistance. in the uk,

the british red cross for example is continuing with its afghanistan emergency appeal. some of the funding put towards this appeal can go to the earthquake but there are many other needs that continue in the country. what we are really hoping is to get as quickly as possible access to those who are still trapped and i live, as well as survivors, and set up an operation for the days and months, unfortunately, to come. this will be a relief operation, _ unfortunately, to come. this will be a relief operation, as _ unfortunately, to come. this will be a relief operation, as you _ unfortunately, to come. this will be a relief operation, as you say, - unfortunately, to come. this will be a relief operation, as you say, thatl a relief operation, as you say, that will last for some time. how much helped does the country need? what would you say needs to be sent out there right now in the coming hours? i think in terms of the need, natural disasters and earthquakes in particular in afghanistan and other countries, there are various critical needs in the first phase which are around extracting

survivors. the recovery effort. that's one of the areas where people are struggling at the moment. these are struggling at the moment. these are rural areas, often mountainous, and the villages are built of mud and the villages are built of mud and therefore this complicates the recovery efforts. it it had been raining and there was the risk of after—shocks and secondary impacts such as landslides and further tremors as well. really what's needed at the moment is everything. food was needed before this earthquake and it is needed more than ever, and assistance for the victims of the earthquake, shelter, clean water, medicine, field hospitals, all of that type of infrastructure will be needed urgently to be able to deal with the scale of this disaster.—

given the oral polio vaccine, which is an older version of the one we use now in the uk, and somehow it has mutated and is now being passed on in unvaccinated pockets of the community. a new bill of rights is being published by the government this morning which it says will enable it to override rulings made by the european court of human rights. last week a decision that blocked a flight organised by the home office remove a number of asylum seekers from the uk to rwanda. although today's announcement has been long expected and is not a response to that. let's have a look at what the government says is included in the bill. it says it includes greater weight in law to freedom of speech and makes it clear that the uk supreme court is the ultimate judicial decision maker on human rights issues and that rulings by the european court of human rights do not always need to be followed by uk courts. but the government also says it does not intend to quit the european convention on human rights. the echr is a set of legal

safeguards allowing ordinary people to challenge what they say is unfair treatment by their government. the convention is interpreted by the european court of human rights which incidently is nothing to do with the eu. critics say the proposals are unneccesary and a step backwards, deputy prime minister dominic raab has been defending the move. we want to strengthen the separation of powers. we are proud of ourjudiciary, they should apply the law without fear or favour. but when the goalposts shift and when legislation is effectively what is happening through court interpretations, that must be done subject to the accountability of parliament. this will help us deport more foreign national offenders, deliver our parole reform so we can better protect the public, and do other things like protect our counterterrorism strategy within prisons where sometimes we do need to isolate dangerous offenders. earlier we spoke to dominic casciani on how the bill of rights will replace the human rights act. what's proposed by dominic raab is

very relevant to a case going on here today. we are in court yet again today to hear the latest on what's going on with the rwanda removals flight which you will recall was effectively stopped by the european court of human rights, or rather they stopped individuals being put on the flight and therefore crushing the policy to a grinding halt. underthis plan, therefore crushing the policy to a grinding halt. under this plan, that kind of injunction from the court will be stopped in the future by ministers, which is a major change in the law. judges at the moment can actually override the court if they want to. one of the interesting things that has happened this morning is dominic raab has told mps that his policy is somewhat inspired by labour's original aims when it passed a human rights act in creating a system of bringing rights into british culture and give people the power to challenge authority but not in a way that becomes excessive not in a way that becomes excessive not out of control. he says this is the problem with human rights act, it has effectively gone out of control and has become a villainous charter in some respects and he

wants to rebalance it. there is a lot of concern from some in parliament, including from the conservative benches, that the bill needs more scrutiny. there is also concern from the right of the conservative party that the bill doesn't go far enough because you will recall there are many in the conservative party who want the uk to leave the european convention on human rights because they think it is manifestly excessive and basically in british life. jessica seymour qc, a specialist in human rights law, joins us now from paris. what do you make on this? the big roblem is what do you make on this? the big problem is that _ what do you make on this? the big problem is that no _ what do you make on this? the big problem is that no one _ what do you make on this? the big problem is that no one has - what do you make on this? the big problem is that no one has seen i what do you make on this? the big | problem is that no one has seen the bill. i was watching dominic raab and the opposition and the mps discussing it and everybody was discussing it and everybody was discussing something that nobody has read. so it is slightly alice in wonderland, the whole thing, to be quite frank. wonderland, the whole thing, to be cuite frank. ~ ., ., ~ ., ., quite frank. what we do know about it, hearin: quite frank. what we do know about it, hearing from _ quite frank. what we do know about it, hearing from the _ quite frank. what we do know about it, hearing from the deputy - quite frank. what we do know about it, hearing from the deputy prime i it, hearing from the deputy prime minister, saying the bill will allow for a common—sense approach and strengthen british traditions of freedom. do you agree with that question yet i can't agree with it until i know what the bill but

ultimately it sounds to until i know what the bill but ultimately it sounds- until i know what the bill but ultimately it sounds to me like a olitical ultimately it sounds to me like a political fluff. _ ultimately it sounds to me like a political fluff. the _ ultimately it sounds to me like a political fluff. the most - ultimately it sounds to me like a political fluff. the most bizarre i politicalfluff. the most bizarre thing was watching this discussion that everybody, that the supreme court somehow has to or is bound by the strasbourg court. the whole point in the human rights act is that it preserves parliamentary sovereignty so the supreme court cannot set aside domestic uk legislation even if the strasbourg court considers it incompatible with the convention. and that's the key element in the human rights act, it actually preserves parliamentary sovereignty. so that has been completely ignored in the discussion so far. 50 completely ignored in the discussion so far. ., , so far. so the government says it doesnt so far. so the government says it doesn't intend _ so far. so the government says it doesn't intend to _ so far. so the government says it doesn't intend to quit _ so far. so the government says it doesn't intend to quit the - so far. so the government says it l doesn't intend to quit the european convention of human rights and that is a set of lethal legal safeguarding is. explained because it is, gated how they work together. it is comp located. essentially that is the most important message we have heard today, that the united

kingdom is not going to leave the council of europe despite some of the mps pushing for it. that means that anything that united kingdom does, which strasbourg says is unlawful, is a breach by the united kingdom of international law. it may not be a breach of domestic law, it probably isn't even at the moment a breach of domestic law, but the crucial point is that people will be able to go to strasbourg and have their rights vindicated. and to that extent, any new legislation which makes rights that one could previously have vindicated in a domestic court, are now only actionable in strasbourg courts, it undermines the idea that human rights act would bring rights home and bring power to ourjudges rather than the strasbourg judges. so and bring power to ourjudges rather than the strasbourg judges.- than the strasbourg 'udges. so 'ust exlain, than the strasbourg 'udges. so 'ust explain. last i than the strasbourg 'udges. so 'ust explain, last week i than the strasbourg judges. so 'ust explain, last week this i than the strasbourg judges. so just explain, last week this decision - than the strasbourg judges. so just explain, last week this decision by | explain, last week this decision by the european court of human rights stopped that plane leaving the uk

with those asylum seekers and it was supposed to go to rwanda. would this new bill of rights be able to overrule a decision like that? would the plane have left if this new bill of rights from what we know was already in existence?— already in existence? again, the osition already in existence? again, the position is _ already in existence? again, the position is difficult _ already in existence? again, the position is difficult to _ already in existence? again, the position is difficult to see - already in existence? again, the position is difficult to see how i already in existence? again, the position is difficult to see how it| position is difficult to see how it will change the position. because the current position would be that if the home secretary had sent the flight out anyway last week, that would have been a breach of international law by the united kingdom and no legislation can change that fact, as long as we are within the convention. so in a sense it doesn't really matter what this legislation says. if the united kingdom sends flights despite a rule 39 injunction from the strasbourg court, the united kingdom will be in breach of international law. will breach of international law. will this change _ breach of international law. will this change undermine human rights protections here in the uk? more? this change undermine human rights protections here in the uk? now that reall one

protections here in the uk? now that really one cannot _ protections here in the uk? now that really one cannot answer _ protections here in the uk? now that really one cannot answer until- protections here in the uk? now that really one cannot answer until one i really one cannot answer until one sees the legislation. i do have concerns arising from what dominic raab said today in parliament. but really we are going to have to wait until we see the bill to see whether human rights protection will be undermined. and as i have said, in any event, if it is undermined in the united kingdom, individuals will still be able to go to strasbourg and get their rights vindicated. thank you forjoining us and for your analysis despite not having seen the bill has yet, as you say. a statue in tribute to the windrush generation has been unveiled at waterloo railway station in london. the national monument, which depicts a man, woman and child, recognises the thousands of people who arrived in the uk from caribbean countries between 19118 and 1971. in a written message, the queen paid tribute to the "profound contribution" of the windrush "pioneers". and speaking at the event, prince william recognised the difficulties they also faced,

then and now. today is the day we celebrate and honour the windrush generation, and the enormous contribution that each and every one of them has made and continues to make to our society. the members of the windrush generation, who were victims of racism when they arrived here, and discrimination remains an all—too—familiar experience for black people in britain in 2022. alongside celebrating the diverse fabric of ourfamilies, our communities and our society as a whole, something the windrush generation has contributed so much to. it is also important to acknowledge the ways in which the future that they sought and deserve has yet to come to pass. without you all britain would simply not be what it is today. i want to say a profound thank you to every member of that generation, and the generations that have followed. the broadcasting regulator 0fcom has told the bbc it needs to make its complaints process simpler and more straightforward for people to navigate.

it's also said the corporation needs to be more transparent and open about its decision—making and tailor its services to a changing world. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz schafernaker. hello. sunny enough for most of us today but clouds are gathering and tomorrow we could be in for some heavy downpours and thunderstorms. but on the later satellite picture, much of england and wales, sunny, always a bit more cloud in the north—west here. fresher conditions as well. today our highest temperatures will be somewhere around the midlands, around 28 degrees at the end of the afternoon. and then not much happens through this evening and overnight, a bit of low cloud here around the northwest. there will be some showers reaching the south coast of england i think by the early hours of thursday morning. these could well be heavy downpours reaching kent and sussex by 6am. and then through the morning and into the afternoon, these scattered storms will spread across parts of england and possibly into wales as well.

tomorrow's temperatures will peak around the midlands, possibly 29 degrees. elsewhere, we are in the low or mid 20s. good morning.

this new analysis from the british military of defence is interesting for that they say they're doing its people's republic of lost 55% of the combat forces they started this war wet. that is about 11,000 men killed or injured. they also say that is because they are coming in with substandard equipment, very often, and poor morale. a lot of the fighting, a lot of those losses have taken place around the donbas and thatis taken place around the donbas and that is where it remains the most intense. specifically, the city where ukrainian forces have been pushed back into just one small industrial area, pushed back into just one small industrialarea, into pushed back into just one small industrial area, into the factory. it also a city which is coming under increasingly heavy artillery barrages. and, really, that is where

russia has had an advantage throughout this entire conflict. the weight of an tillery that it can bring to the fight is just far greater than anything the ukrainians have at their disposal. but there is hope today for the ukrainians that that will change. there is been an announcement, it has been confirmed that high—tech modern artillery pieces, 155 millimetre, provided by the germans, our own their way. their forces have been trained the germans, our own their way. theirforces have been trained on them in germany over the last few weeks and months and now these very high—tech, very expensive guns are getting to the front line. what they hope is that this is going tip the scales in their favour and hope is that this is going tip the scales in theirfavour and give hope is that this is going tip the scales in their favour and give them the possibility to compete in artillery to terms with the russians in an area where they have been struggling so far. i'm joined now by mr. viljar lubi, ambassador of estonia

to the united kingdom. thank you very much for being with us. tell is more about what estonia are saying russia is doing. this incident really _ are saying russia is doing. try 3 incident really happened. and it is very, very serious. we take it very seriously. we invited the russian ambassador to estonia. and told them that the russian authorities, that this is unacceptable. we take it with full seriousness. unfortunately, this has not been the first time and probably won't be the last time so this is happened so many times before that we know exactly how the russians are behaving but they are trying to provoke a reaction. but i think you have to deal with, people have done it so far, the same time being extremely strict. that kind of behaviour is unacceptable. this is the second _ behaviour is unacceptable. this is the second time _ behaviour is unacceptable. this is the second time in _ behaviour is unacceptable. this is the second time in less _ behaviour is unacceptable. this is the second time in less than - behaviour is unacceptable. this is the second time in less than two | the second time in less than two weeks that estonia has reprimanded

judy huth testified that the comedian invited her and a friend, when she was 16 and he was 37, and forced her to perform a sexual act. bill cosby, now 84, who did not appear in person at the trial, denied the allegation. he was released from a prison last year when a court in pennsylvania threw out a criminal conviction for sexual assault. today is a big verdict in los angeles county because this is the first, maybe of up to 50 or 60 bill cosby victims, that have had their case moved forward to a jury. after serving only three years, in prison, many believe bill cosby did not receive justice. the jury also ruled that bill cosby must payjudy huth $500,000 in damages but cosby�*s team will appeal. we will appeal, we will appeal. you heard from bill cosby

in video disposition that he did not know her and never brought a minor but what happened today was not a victory. they did not get the punitive damages. the victory was ours because we got to disclose and show what this woman was all about. campaigners praised judy huth for her courageous testimony in a verdict, they said, shows survivors that perpetrators, even powerful ones, can be held accountable. mark lobel, bbc news. the bbc has learned that baroness scotland, secretary general of the commonwealth, is involved in a bitter dispute with the organisation's 54 member states — only days before she asks them for a second term of office. the commonwealth secretariat — the administration led by lady scotland — is suppressing an independent review of its finances that is understood to contain criticisms of the way it has been run. the chairman of the commonwealth board of governors said the decision

to withhold the report was "an affront" to the board's authority. a spokesman for the secretariat said it had 'factual concerns about the report.�* the prince of wales and duchess of cornwall have arrived in rwanda for the commonwealth heads of government meeting that was postponed by the pandemic. charles will represent the queen, who is head of the commonwealth. 0ur royal correspondent, nicholas witchell sent this report — which contains some flash photography. at some point, he will become britain's king and head of the commonwealth. that is for the future. for now, prince charles is representing the queen on a visit to rwanda, accompanied by his wife camilla, and then on friday, he will officiate at the opening of the commonwealth heads of government meeting. rwanda is one of africa's smallest and most densely populated countries. it has moved on from the horrors of the genocide of 1994, when hundreds of thousands of the tutsi population were massacred by the rival hutu. prince charles will lay a wreath in their memory.

most recently, of course, rwanda is the country to which migrants crossing the english channel in search of asylum due to be sent by the british government for processing, a controversial policy prince charles is said to have described privately as appalling. reported comments which did not go down well with the british government. the commonwealth meeting will bring prince charles face—to—face with britain's prime minister boris johnson. will they discuss britain's policy towards migrants? it would be odd if they didn't in some form. but of course, charles is now more than ever aware of the need to avoid saying or doing anything which could be construed as political. for the commonwealth heads of government, who last met as a group in britain in 2018 when they were hosted by the queen, there are other matters to focus on. the commonwealth's 54 nations

represent nearly one third of the world's population. many are facing severe challenges from climate change and from grain shortages caused by the russian invasion of ukraine. those issues will be among the priorities. nicholas witchell, bbc news, kigali in rwanda. the singer kate bush has given a rare interview — describing her delight that her 1985 hit running up that hill has just got to no.1 in the uk singles chart. the song has new fans — 37 years after it was first in the top ten — afterfeaturing in the netflix drama 'stranger things�*. shocked by the response. it's just extraordinary. i mean, it's such a great series. i thought that the track would get some attention, but ijust never imagined that it would be anything like this. it's... ..it�*s so exciting.

another very warm and sunny day for many of us today. tomorrow's temperatures could even be a little higher but we have also got some thunderstorms on the way across parts of england and wales as well. mostly the southern half of the uk. this is the latest satellite picture so lots of sunshine. hazy skies in the north—west and cooler here, obviously. eastern scotland, the low 20s, the peak of the heat somewhere around the midlands will be around this afternoon and still those pollen levels are very high. let's have a look at the picture, then. for the course of this evening and overnight, very little happening on the weather front across much of england and wales. scotland and northern ireland, too, although a bit more cloudy here. a bit more of a breeze. a relatively warm night and by the early hours of the morning 14 or 13. not far off that

in glasgow. sunshine right from the word go across many parts of the uk. these thunderstorms will drift in from the south. they could reach the south coast early in the morning into the afternoon they will spread into the afternoon they will spread into the afternoon they will spread into the midlands and further northwards. temperatures could be higher. we think the peak could be around central parts of england. here are the storms, then. to tomorrow evening. the risk of storms will continue probably to around about midnight or so tomorrow. to the weekend, we will see weather front approaching the uk solo pressure means that the weather will start to deteriorate. it will become a little more unsettled. 0n start to deteriorate. it will become a little more unsettled. on friday with a lot of cloudy moisture coming in from the south, a good chance of catching a shower. it won't be burning all the time. it will be sunny spells and occasional showers throughout the day but look at the temperatures. a good feel lower. more like 20. that heat will be

pushed towards east anglia still around 25 or so and on friday night into saturday and sunday, low—pressure parks itself over ireland. we will see shower thinning around it and that does mean that the weekend will be unsettled with showers and also those temperatures will be a good feel lower. goodbye.

this is bbc news. i'm samantha simmonds. the headlines at 3:00pm... new figures show the prices we're paying for food, fuel, gas and electricity continue to rise at the fastest rate for 40 years. we have all the tools we need, and the determination to reduce inflation and bring it back down. talks to resolve the rail dispute across the uk continue, and so does the disruption, with only 60% of services running today. at least 1000 people are reported dead and scores injured after a powerful earthquake in afghanistan. a report has found that south yorkshire police failed to protect vulnerable children from sexual exploitation in rotherham. facebook removes a large number of accounts posting pictures and videos of upskirting following an investigation by bbc news.

and glastonbury is back after a three year gap. fans are descending on worthy farm in somerset for one of the biggest music festivals in the world. just glad the tickets rolled over twice, so we are finally here. it's been long awaited, so it's good. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. prices are continuing to rise at their fastest pace for 40 years, as food, energy and fuel costs have increased. the figures come as workers and unions push for pay rises to help them cope with the cost of living. uk inflation — the rate at which prices rise — hit 9.1% in the 12 months to may, up from 9% in april,

driven in particular by the cost of bread, cereal and meat. it's the highest inflation figure since march 1982, and the bank of england has warned that it could reach 11% this year. our first report is from our business correspondent emma simpson. 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. we can't usually afford to buy all the named product staff, 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 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 get to more than £30, that's it, stop.

it's the same with petrol. what we're seeing is a massive change in behaviour. we haven't had significant inflation in this country for many, many years. i am of a generation that can 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. and inflation crept up again today, fuelled by rising food prices, up by 8.7% in may compared with a year ago. petrol and diesel were also higher, up by 33%, the biggestjump since records began. supermarkets are battling to keep prices down. in the last month, asda has invested nearly £100 million in price cuts and new everyday essentials. 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. forecasters will make their predictions, you know, but i am confident that we're providing the right support to the economy at this time to help people ease through some of the challenges they're facing with the rising cost of living, and rebuild a stronger economy for the long term. the focus now is on what the bank of england will do next. so their next move, we think they're going to raise rates again come august. we think they'll raise by a quarter percentage point again, as they've been doing so far. but there is speculation that perhaps they may go even further. this retail veteran thinks policy makers were slow to act. so what's rather sad is that, the country, the government, perhaps the bank of england, didn't see inflation coming quickly. they've 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 this boss doesn't want to predict where it will stop.

emma simpson, bbc news, stevenage. joining me now to talk about how we can save and cut everyday costs is myronjobson, a senior personal finance analyst. good to see you. how do you see this rise in inflation impact on people's ordinary lives? we have heard on your report that people are struggling to keep on top of rising prices. it’s struggling to keep on top of rising rices. �*, , .., ., ., , struggling to keep on top of rising rices. �*, , ., ., , prices. it's becoming a daily battle for many people- _ prices. it's becoming a daily battle for many people. food, _ prices. it's becoming a daily battle for many people. food, for- prices. it's becoming a daily battle i for many people. food, for example, itjust keeps going up. research published yesterday estimates that the scale of food inflation means households will have to spend an extra £380 a year on grocery bills alone. motorists are feeling the brunt of rising prices too because of the cost to fill a family car has risen to around £100, quite staggering considering the cost was £70 not long ago. we are all aware

i arrived here this morning at 6:45am. i'm not going to get to my destination until two hours later than normal. and it is a bit annoying. travellers coming into london had mixed experiences. it wasn't actually too bad, i knew the time the train was going to go and it went on time so ijust planned around it. i respect anyone that feels i they are being hard done by, and hopefully they will get what they want out of it. i i employ about 20 people and it's a disaster. it's coming back to the lockdown times, which is something really disappointing. this is london bridge, a major rail hub bringing commuters into the city. despite some disruption, cancellations and a reduced timetable, as you can see, lots of people have made it in today. but with only six out of ten trains running across the network as a whole, the advice is as always, if you must travel, check before you leave home. if you are travelling after ten

o'clock tonight it varies from region to region and operator to operator so it is worth going on those websites, looking what the timetable looks like for tonight after ten o'clock and ensuring that you don't miss your last train. the rmt union is meeting network rail and the train operating companies to try once again to resolve the dispute. but even if they do make a breakthrough, it would be too late to avert the chaos coming tomorrow, the second day of the strike. a third walk—out is planned for saturday. in the commons today, labour called once again on the government to get directly involved. why doesn't he do his job, get round the table and get the trains running? mr speaker, we are making sure that we are doing everything we can to prevent these strikes. as he knows, it is up to the railway companies to negotiate. that is theirjob. we have spent £16 billion looking after the railways, mr speaker. merseyrail struck a 7% pay deal with a different union today and network rail said a deal with the rmt was close yesterday. travellers will be hoping they can

get it over the line soon. ben king, bbc news. 0ur consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith is at bradford's forster square station. a slow start today with plenty of trains in the wrong place, little preparation able to be done overnight to the rolling stock across the uk. there have been reductions and cancellations that i have seen today crossing the pennines, lots of them last minute for some of those passengers. people can complete theirjourneys but often it takes longer, potentially costing a bit more if they go by a different route. this line between leeds and bradford forster square has been running on time today to the relief of customers i have talked to today who depend on it as a regular commuter line, but they're bracing themselves for further strikes tomorrow and the impact it will have. talks are continuing in london at the moment between unions, rail bosses and the government in the background.

everyone here, although we are a long way away, is depending on the result of that, whether it's the staff at the station waiting to hear what happens to their wages and their working conditions, or indeed the passengers, waiting to hear if further strikes go ahead. tomorrow's strikes, or the impact of tomorrow's strike will go ahead whatever happens in today's talks. but potentially if we get a deal today, saturday's strike may be able to be averted. that was colletta smith. in afghanistan, officials say 1,000 people have died, and more than 1,500 have been injured, after a powerful earthquake struck the east of the country. the extent of the damage is still emerging, but photos posted on social media show houses reduced to rubble in the province of paktika, one of the areas worst affected by the 6.1 magnitude quake. 0ur correspondentjon donnison has this report.

in remote eastern afghanistan, there were chaotic scenes as the first military assistance arrived. local people bringing forward the dead and injured, desperate for help. the quake, with a magnitude of 6.1, struck in the middle of the night, as many were sleeping. translation: it was midnight when the quake struck. - the kids and i screamed. one of our rooms was destroyed. 0ur neighbours all screamed, too, when we saw everyone's rooms. with health care basic here at the best of times, makeshift field hospitals have been set up. in this part of afghanistan, a lot of the houses are mud built and were no match for the force of the quake. the taliban is trying to coordinate an aid operation with the red crescent and has called for international help, but since the islamist group took power last year, foreign assistance has dried up — and all this in a country already in the midst of a humanitarian

catastrophe, ravaged by drought, famine and poverty. jon donnison, bbc news. strike talks have been ongoing and we have just heard from the rmt that the rail strike will go ahead on thursday. the transport secretary grant shapps has accused the rmt of wrecking the talks. of course, there were strikes yesterday which has seen a knock—on ofjust 60% of trains operating today. we now know tomorrow those full strikes will go ahead affecting the whole country. we wait to see whether or not there will be any progress and whether or not those strikes will carry on for saturday. more on that as we get it. the virus that causes polio has been detected in multiple sewage samples in london. health officials say while the risk to the public is low, they are urging people to ensure

they've been fully immunised against polio. our global health correspondent naomi grimley gave us more details. people haven't presented to doctors yet with polio, and polio in its most serious form can cause paralysis. but what has happened here is that health officials have managed to detect it in sewage water, which of course they are testing anyway for other viruses like covid. whereas sometimes theyjust see it and it disappears, it's gone, one week it's there and the next it isn't, this time they have seen it repeatedly over a series of months and that makes them wonder whether it has come in, imported probably via someone who was vaccinated with a very weakened form of the virus, given the oral polio vaccine, which is an older version of the one we use now in the uk, and somehow it has mutated and is now being passed on in unvaccinated pockets of the community. the headlines on bbc news...

new figures show the prices we're paying for food, fuel, gas and electricity continue to rise at the fastest rate for 40 years. talks to resolve the rail dispute across the uk continue, and so does the disruption, with only 60 per cent of services running today. at least 1000 people are reported dead and scores injured after a powerful earthquake in afghanistan. police failed to see sexually abused children in rotherham as victims, a police watchdog has found. the independent office for police conduct investigated 47 current and former officers after it was revealed at least 1,400 girls were abused, trafficked and groomed in the town between 1997 and 2013. it found crimes were not properly investigated due to "systemic problems" in south yorkshire police. the force's police and crime commissioner claims the report "fails to identify any individual accountability" and "lets down victims and survivors", as our north of england correspondentjudith moritz reports.

rotherham is a town tarnished by its past, where children were sexually abused and exploited, and where the police turned a blind eye. i would have contact with the police on a daily basis. i was never treated as a victim. i was treated as somebody who was his mistress, somebody that was a part of his gang. sammy woodhouse was 14 when she met her abuser. he groomed her and got her pregnant, but officers who saw them together never intervened. i remember on one occasion the police pulled him over, he looked about the car, asked me how i was, i got back in the car and we drove off. and there were so many occasions like that, and looking back, there werejust so many missed opportunities. a new report by the police watchdog, the iopc, gives fresh detail about systemic failings by the south yorkshire force

between 1997 and 2013. children were blamed for their own abuse. the force says that wouldn't happen now. south yorkshire police of today is a different organisation. today in rotherham we have a specialist team to deal with child sexual exploitation, we work extensively with partners and we have the infrastructure, training and the people to deal with it. the iopc investigation took eight years and cost £6 million. there is criticism it hasn't delivered accountability. i think the iopc has let down the victims, the survivors. . i think it has let down the police by dragging this out for so long. having these things hang over them. i think it has let down us, - the public of south yorkshire, by not providing a proper answer to the question of, where does i accountability lie ? the iopc says its investigation is still open and its work is to ensure the situation doesn't happen again. no police officers have been sacked or prosecuted.

more than 40 abusers have been convicted of grooming offences and cases continue to go through the courts. the justice system is still catching up with rotherham's past. judith moritz, bbc news, rotherham. and just after 15:30 we'll be speaking to the labour mp for rotherham, sarah champion, so stay with us for that. a new bill of rights is being published by the government which it says will enable it to over—ride rulings made by the european court of human rights. last week it was that court which blocked a flight organised by the home office to remove a number of asylum seekers from the uk to rwanda. let's have a look at what the government says is included in the bill. it says it includes greater weight in law to freedom of speech and makes it clear that the uk supreme court is the ultimate judicial decision—maker on human rights issues. rulings by the european court of human rights do not always need to be followed by uk courts. but the government also says it does not intend to quit

the european convention on human rights. the echr is a set of legal safeguards allowing ordinary people to challenge what they say is unfair treatment by their government. critics say the proposals are unneccesary and a step backwards, deputy prime minister dominic raab has been defending the move. we want to strengthen the separation of powers. we are proud of ourjudiciary, they should apply the law without fear or favour. but when the goalposts shift and when legislation is effectively what is happening through court interpretations, that must be done subject to the accountability of parliament. this will help us deport more foreign national offenders, deliver our parole reform so we can better protect the public, and do other things like protect our counterterrorism strategy within prisons where sometimes we do need to isolate dangerous offenders. earlier we spoke to dominic casciani on how the bill of rights will replace the human rights act. what's proposed by dominic raab is very relevant to a case going on here today. we are in court yet again today

to hear the latest on what's going on with the rwanda removals flight which you will recall was effectively stopped by the european court of human rights, or rather they stopped individuals being put on the flight and therefore crushing the policy to a grinding halt. under this plan, that kind of injunction from the court will be stopped in the future by ministers, which is a major change in the law. judges at the moment can actually override the court if they want to. one of the interesting things that has happened this morning is dominic raab has told mps that his policy is somewhat inspired by labour's original aims when it passed a human rights act in creating a system of bringing rights into british culture and giving people the power to challenge authority but not in a way that becomes excessive nor out of control. he says this is the problem with human rights act, it has effectively gone out of control and has become a villains' charter in some respects and he wants to rebalance it. there is a lot of concern from some in parliament, including from the conservative benches, that the bill needs more scrutiny.

there is also concern from the right of the conservative party that the bill doesn't go far enough because you will recall there are many in the conservative party who want the uk to leave the european convention on human rights because they think it is manifestly excessive and basically interfering in british life. facebook says it has removed a large number of accounts 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, taken in public without their consent. 0ur correspondent angus crawford has this report, which contains some flashing images. this man is following a schoolgirl in new york, about to film up her skirt and post the footage on facebook. we've censored the images. but our investigation found facebook groups with thousands of members, all sharing so—called upskirt photos and videos. and with comments like this.

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. this image was taken at an airport in britain, without her knowledge or consent. 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. it's disgusting. it's horrid. when morgan was 15, a man filmed her in a changing room cubicle. she's campaigned ever since

against upskirting and harassment. it's money to them, isn't it? the more users, the more photos, the more comments that are on photos, the more cash that they get. so upskirting makes facebook money? yeah. pretty much. and there's more. we found group members sharing tips on upskirting, including this british man. we reported his posts, but again, they weren't taken down. and that shocked mpjess phillips, who's campaigned for women's safety all her career. oh, my god. what is wrong with facebook? what are your initial thoughts about facebook or what it's doing? i mean, i don't know how they can think that that is not beyond their community standards. well, that'sjust encouraging them. i would say that notjust facebook are failing in their... ..in their protection of people on their site, their privacy and their dignity,

they're 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. investigators are trying to find out why a 13—year—old boy died in an incident in the river taff in cardiff. south wales police confirmed the news following an extensive search involving police, fire crews, ambulance officers, coastguards and a police helicopter. david grundy reports. it was about 4:45pm yesterday

afternoon when a group of young people were cooling off in the river just under the railway viaduct is just under the railway viaduct is just there when they realised one of their friends was missing the stop emergency services were called, the police, fire and ambulance service and even the coast guard were involved in the search. it is an hour later that the 13—year—old boy was pulled from the water a little bit further down here. attempts were made to resuscitate him but they were unsuccessful and he was confirmed dead early this morning. today his family has been supported by specially trained officers. the coroner has also been informed of the incident and a police investigation is ongoing. in the last few hours people have come here to pay respects, laying flowers at the scene and balloons have been released into the water as well. his death has been described as devastating and heartbreaking for stop the emergency services have been thanked for their work. this is even more tragic because it is the second death of a teenager in a river in south wales in the last

four weeks. a month ago i was standing on the banks of a river in swansea where13—year—old kane edwards had got into difficulty. he had been missing for an hour. he sadly died at the scene. that is a different incident, a different city on different river but the circumstances are very similar, going off to cool off in the river after a hot day at school. what happened in cardiff on the river taff yesterday is still part of an ongoing police investigation, and that investigation will continue through the afternoon. more on the breaking news that the rmt says tomorrow's rail strikes across scotland, england and wales will go ahead after talks ended today to stop the union accused transport secretary grant shapps of wrecking negotiations will top business correspondent ben king is with me. what have the rmt said? me with me. what have the rmt said? we have with me. what have the rmt said? - have a statement from the rmt hot off the press saying mick lynch, the general secretary, off the press saying mick lynch, the generalsecretary, he off the press saying mick lynch, the general secretary, he says grant shapps has wrecked the negotiations

by not allowing network rail to withdraw their letter threatening redundancy for 2900 of our members will stop until the government unshackle network rail and the train operating companies, it will not be possible for a negotiated settlement to be agreed and we will continue with our industrial campaign until we get a negotiated settlement that delivers job security and a pay rise for members, that deals with the escalating cost of living crisis. they seem to be at an impasse because grant shapps has said most of these will come through natural wastage and voluntary redundancies. that's right. it looks like things were more positive this morning. we had a statement from network rail saying the sides got close to an agreement yesterday. they have been in talks for much of the day and it looked like the longer the talks went on the more optimistic one could be about what they were talking about but this has just arrived just now and it seems the two sides are as far away as ever. this issue of compulsory redundancies remains one of the sides can't find agreement on.

yesterday of course, the whole railway network ground to a halt and it hasn't got back to normal today because the trains were not in the right places and we will face another day tomorrow and presumably another day tomorrow and presumably another knock—on day on friday. tomorrow's disruption was baked in already because even if they had found an agreement today it wouldn't be possible to put everything back in order for trains to be possible to put everything back in orderfor trains to run be possible to put everything back in order for trains to run as be possible to put everything back in orderfor trains to run as normal tomorrow. and then there will be another day on friday were to be much like today, around six out of ten trains running, and considerable disruption but lots of people have been able to make it into work. and then presumably, hopefully the two sides will be able to reconvene again and continue discussions so it's not impossible they may find an agreement before saturday, which is the third day of planned strikes. then came, thank you for the update. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz schafernaker. hello. sunny enough for most of us today but clouds are gathering and tomorrow we could be in for some heavy downpours and thunderstorms. but on the later satellite picture, much of england and wales, sunny,

always a bit more cloud in the north—west here. fresher conditions as well. today our highest temperatures will be somewhere around the midlands, around 28 degrees at the end of the afternoon. and then not much happens through this evening and overnight, a bit of low cloud here around the northwest. there will be some showers reaching the south coast of england i think by the early hours of thursday morning. these could well be heavy downpours reaching kent and sussex by 6am. and then through the morning and into the afternoon, these scattered storms will spread across parts of england and possibly into wales as well. tomorrow's temperatures will peak around the midlands, possibly 29 degrees. elsewhere, we are in the low or mid 20s. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: the rmt says tomorrow's rail strikes across england,

deserves what he has achieved and he is only going to go from strength to strength. i mean, he is hitting the ball 20 yards further than 20 months ago and stripping as got a lot better so he's turning into a modern day nick faldo so he could well win quite a few of these things. that's all the sport for now. let's return now to rotherham and the finding by a police watchdog that officers failed to see sexually abused children in rotherham as victims. the independent office for police conduct investigated 47 current and former officers after it was revealed at least 1,400 girls were abused, trafficked and groomed in the town between 1997 and 2013. it found crimes were not properly investigated due to "systemic problems" in south yorkshire police. the force's police and crime commissioner claims the report "fails to identify any individual accountability" and "lets down victims and survivors". let's speak to the labour mp for rotherham — sarah champion — she joins us from westminster.

police and crime commissioners blaming the iop sea and the report. they did a very good report representing the survivors very well. what they have not got because of legislation is teeth to enforce it and south yorkshire police have decided to ignore the recommendations and so it is very hard to think thatjustice is being served and we're not seeing those actions that have been recommended put into place. actions that have been recommended put into place-— put into place. what that say about south yorkshire _ put into place. what that say about south yorkshire police _ put into place. what that say about south yorkshire police in _ put into place. what that say about south yorkshire police in your- put into place. what that say about | south yorkshire police in your view? it is probably... i'm trying to edit my words to be polite because it is bbc. it is quite easy to say i am sorry. what we need to see and what the survivors, particularly, need to see, is the horror that they have been through will never, ever happen again. it is notjust rotherham. it is notjust south yorkshire. there are survivors all across the country and victims now that are being let down by police forces who are not recognising the signs of grooming and exploitation and child abuse and what needs to happen and what south

yorkshire needs to be doing on the front foot are saying, look, this is where we went wrong. these are the changes we have put in place that offers work with other authorities around the country to make sure you learn from what we did wrong so that some positive comes out of the horror that at least 1400 young girls enjoyed and that is what i want to see. that is not what i am seeing so it is very frustrating. the deputy police constable said force have accepted the findings are nothing like this could happen again but you're not convinced by that, then? ~ , ., ., , then? well, prove it. that is lovel . then? well, prove it. that is lovely- l— then? well, prove it. that is lovely. i really _ then? well, prove it. that is lovely. i really appreciate i then? well, prove it. that is| lovely. i really appreciate the sentiment. show it to us. show how the culture has changed. show that you're actually holding people to account. you know, have people been sacked? are people had, you know, complete training, however we meant to believe you and, to be quite honest, we are looking at... it as hillsborough happened under the same leadership as what happened in bothering with the child abuse. so

0ne that? why hasn't anything changed? one of the problems is that because no action has been taken against the police officers and staff who were disbelieving and belittling the victims when they came forward, they will probably still be in the police system somewhere. they might not be in south yorkshire. there might be in south yorkshire. there might be in greater manchester or cardiff or... wejust don't in greater manchester or cardiff or... we just don't know. in greater manchester or cardiff or... wejust don't know. and it was very much made apparent in the report that was a culture that the leadership was putting down. they were front line police officers who tried everything they could to get justice for those victims but was blocked higher up and culture is a really difficult thing to change unless you are robust and unless you are transparent and unless you admit there is a failing there and i have not seen any of those happen in south yorkshire and this is not i know people cited in the past. if you have not gotjust as you are living on a daily basis in the

butter south yorkshire, when it gets the stunning recommendations, kids choose not to act on them, that is just adding injury to insult.- just adding in'ury to insult. thank ou for just adding injury to insult. thank you forjoining — just adding injury to insult. thank you forjoining us. _ thank you forjoining us. more than five million refugees from ukraine are trying to settle into new homes across europe. for the 1,000 or so who are now in wales, that settling in period begins at a so—called "welcome centre". 0ur wales correspondent, hywel griffith, has been to one, to meet some of the families who are staying there. 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. 0lena and kateryna arrived just a fortnight ago, escaping the life where their children had to hide in basements. it feels like home. completely happy, both of my kids, they're just playing,

they are at 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. 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 never expected that hospitality. 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 griffith, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news. the rmt says tomorrow's rail strikes across england, scotland and wales will go ahead — after talks ended today — of 'wrecking the negotiations'. new figures show the prices we're paying for food, fuel, gas and electricity continue to rise at the fastest rate for 40 years.

at least 1000 people are reported dead, and scores injured, after a powerful earthquake in afghanistan. health screening is being offered to more than 20,000 people in portsmouth in a bid to reduce levels of lung cancer. the city has one of the country's highest death rates from the disease. past and current smokers between the ages of 55 and 74 are being invited for a scan. alastair fee has more. martin comes from a family of smokers and used to have a 50—per—day habit. he quit seven months ago after catching covid for the second time. my father died of cancer, my two best friends died of cancer, so i've been around cigarettes my whole life. today, he is having his lungs scanned. the nhs is inviting past and present

smokers in portsmouth to attend a health check. we do worry and we don't speak to people and this allowed me to say, "ok, i don't even need to see a doctor, i'm going to spend 15 minutes of my time under a scanner and they will either give me the all clear or tell me something is wrong", so, you know, to me, it's a no—brainer. you have to do it, you really have to do it. 23,000 people between the ages of 55 and 74 have been contacted. lung cancer often presents late and that's because there are few signs and symptoms at an earlier stage and it's really important to catch it early because it's more treatable at an earlier stage. that's what the service is designed to do. it's designed to find cancer that is not symptomatic in people, so that we can start treatment earlier. so, why is this so important? portsmouth was chosen to take part in this programme because of its high incidence

of lung cancer. the number of deaths here is greater than the national average and two thirds of cases in the city are picked up late. karen lost her mum to lung cancer when she was 65. i have been a nonsmokerfor 28 years now but you don't know what has caught up with you from the past and i think a preventive medicine is probably the way forward for as much things as we can pick up on. people diagnosed at the earliest stage are 20 times more likely to survive for five years compared to those caught late. we know that 62% of people with lung cancer in portsmouth present - at a late stage and we are trying |with this service to try and bringj that down to 25% by 2028. it could save your life, it's as simple as that. it could save your life and save you from worrying if there is something wrong. over the next two years, thousands of people will be scanned. the nhs estimates over 200

cases of lung cancer will be identified early. the gates have opened at glastonbury festival — after a three year break because of coronavirus. hundreds of people queued from the early hours to be among the first onto the site of the music festival in somerset. performances on the main stages begin on friday — sir paul mccartney, billie eilish and kendrick lamar will headline the pyramid stage. 0ur entertainment correspondent colin paterson is at worthy farm: right, welcome! we're open! after a three—year wait, the very moment glastonbury finally reopened its doors. wahoo! and the festival's founder michael eavis was there to greet people. i like the top hat.

good news for elvis impersonators in las vegas. elvis impersonators in las vegas can now breathe a sigh of relief, after a deal was struck to allow elvis—themed weddings to continue in sin city. the elvis estate had issued cease and desist letters ordering them to stop the weddings. now it�*s time for a look at the weather with tomasz. another very warm and sunny day for many of us today. tomorrow�*s temperatures could even be a little higher, but we have also got some thunderstorms on the way across part of england and wales as well. mostly the southern half of the uk. that is to come tomorrow. but this is the latest satellite picture. lots of sunshine, hazy skies in the north—west, it is cooler here.

15 in stornoway. eastern scotland, the low 20s. the peak of the heat somewhere around the midlands, probably around 28 celsius this afternoon. and still those pollen levels are very high, widely across the uk. let�*s have a look at the picture. through the course of this evening and overnight, very little happening on the weather front across much of england and wales. scotland and northern ireland, too, although a bit more cloudy, a bit more of a breeze. a relatively warm night. by the early hours of the morning, around 14 in london, 13 in belfast. not far off that in glasgow. tomorrow, sunshine right from the word go across many parts of the uk, apart from the north—west here. and then thunderstorms will drift in from the south. they could reach the south coast as early as the morning, and then through the afternoon they will spread into the midlands and further north. but temperatures tomorrow could be a degree or so higher. we think the peak will be around central parts of england, just shy of 30 celsius. here are the storms through tomorrow evening.

i think the risk of storms will continue probably to round about midnight or so tomorrow. through the weekend, friday and the weekend will see a weather front approaching the uk. so low pressure means that the weather will start to deteriorate. it will become a little more unsettled. certainly i think on friday we have a lot of cloud and moisture coming in from the south. a good chance of catching a shower. it won�*t be raining all the time. it will be more of a sort of sunny spells and occasional showers sort of day. but look at the temperatures. a good deal lower. no longer 29 degrees in central england. more like 20. that heat will be pushed towards east anglia, still around 25 or so. friday night into saturday and sunday, low pressure parks itself over ireland. we will see showers spinning around it. and that does mean that the weekend is going to be at times unsettled with showers, and those temperatures will be a good deal lower. goodbye.

this is bbc news. i�*m samantha simmonds. the headlines at 4:00pm... the rmt says tomorrow�*s rail strikes across england, scotland and wales will go ahead after talks ended this afternoon. the union has accused the transport secretary grant shapps of "wrecking the negotiations". new figures show the prices we�*re paying for food, fuel, gas and electricity continue to rise at the fastest rate for 40 years. we have all the tools we need, and the determination to reduce inflation and bring it back down. at least 1000 people are reported dead and scores injured after a powerful earthquake in afghanistan. traces of the polio virus have been found in london sewage samples. health officials encourage parents to make sure their children have been vaccinated.

a report has found that south yorkshire police failed to protect vulnerable children from sexual exploitation in rotherham. there is anger from victims that no officers have been sacked. facebook removes a large number of accounts posting pictures and videos of upskirting following an investigation by bbc news. and glastonbury is back after a three year gap. fans are descending on worthy farm in somerset for one of the biggest music festivals in the world. the rmt has confirmed that tomorrow�*s rail strike across england, scotland and wales will go ahead after new talks today broke down without agreement. the union has accused the transport secretary grant shapps of "wrecking the negotiations" by not allowing network rail

to withdraw their letter threatening redundancy for 2,900 of its members. millions of people were affected yesterday after workers walked out in a dispute about pay, job losses and conditions. earlier i spoke to our business correspondent ben king who updated us on the latest statement from the rmt about tomorrow�*s strike. we have a statement from the rmt hot off the press saying mick lynch, the general secretary, he says grant shapps has wrecked the negotiations by not allowing network rail to withdraw their letter threatening redundancy for 2900 of our members and until the government unshackle network rail and the train operating companies, it will not be possible for a negotiated settlement to be agreed and we will continue with our industrial campaign until we get a negotiated settlement that delivers job security and a pay rise for members, that deals with the escalating cost of living crisis. they seem to be at an impasse because grant shapps has said most of these will come through natural wastage and voluntary redundancies. that�*s right. it looked like things were more

positive this morning. we had a statement from network rail saying the sides got close to an agreement yesterday. they have been in talks for much of the day and it looked like the longer the talks went on the more optimistic one could be about what they were talking about but this has just arrived just now and it seems the two sides are as far away as ever. this issue of compulsory redundancies remains one that the sides can�*t find agreement on. yesterday of course, the whole railway network ground to a halt and it hasn�*t got back to normal today because the trains were not in the right places and we will face another day tomorrow and presumably another knock—on day on friday. tomorrow�*s disruption was baked in already because even if they had found an agreement today it wouldn�*t be possible to put everything back in orderfor trains to run as normal tomorrow. and then there will be another day on friday much like today, around six out of ten trains running, and considerable disruption but lots of people have been able to make it into work. and then presumably, hopefully the two sides will be able

to reconvene again and continue discussions so it�*s not impossible they may find an agreement before saturday, which is the third day of planned strikes. prices are continuing to rise at their fastest pace for 40 years — as food, energy and fuel costs have increased. the figures come as workers and unions push for pay rises to help them cope with the cost of living. uk inflation — the rate at which prices rise — hit 9.1% in the 12 months to may, up from 9% in april, driven in particular by the cost of bread, cereal and meat. it�*s the highest inflation figure since march 1982, and the bank of england has warned that it could reach 11% this year. our first report is from our business correspondent emma simpson. 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.

we can�*t usually afford to buy all the named product staff, 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 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 get to more than £30, that�*s it, stop. it�*s the same with petrol. what we�*re seeing is a massive change in behaviour. we haven�*t had significant inflation in this country for many, many years. i am of a generation that can 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. and inflation crept up again today, fuelled by rising food prices, up by 8.7% in may compared with a year ago. petrol and diesel were also higher, up by 33%, the biggestjump since records began. supermarkets are battling to keep prices down. in the last month, asda has invested

nearly £100 million in price cuts and new everyday essentials. 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. forecasters will make their predictions, you know, but i am confident that we�*re providing the right support to the economy at this time to help people ease through some of the challenges they�*re facing with the rising cost of living, and rebuild a stronger economy for the long term. the focus now is on what the bank of england will do next. so their next move, we think they're going to raise rates again come august. we think they'll raise by a quarter percentage point again, as they've been doing so far. but there is speculation that perhaps they may go even further. this retail veteran thinks policy makers were slow to act.

so what�*s rather sad is that, the country, the government, perhaps the bank of england, didn�*t see inflation coming quickly. they�*ve 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 this boss doesn�*t want to predict where it will stop. emma simpson, bbc news, stevenage. earlier i spoke to myronjobson, a senior personal finance analyst, who told me how the high cost of living has been impacting people. it�*s becoming a daily battle for many people. food, for example, it just keeps going up. research published yesterday estimates that the scale of food inflation means households will have to spend an extra £380 a year

on grocery bills alone. motorists are feeling the brunt of rising prices too because the cost to fill a family car has risen to around £100, quite staggering considering the cost was £70 not long ago. we are all aware of the impact of the increase in the energy cap back in april and it is starting to feed through even now, adding £693 to a typical household energy bill. rising prices have forced many people to make serious lifestyle changes, especially those on low incomes. some people on low incomes are having to forgo food. we hear worrying reports that people are skipping meals to stay financially afloat amid this cost of living crisis. what tips and advice do you have on how we can all save money? everyone has to look at their financial situation and everyone has to do a budget.

one thing i would say is don�*t try to make massive swingeing cuts across a handful of areas of expenditure. try to make smaller cuts across a broader range of expenditure. that is a more palatable way of cutting costs in this cost of living crisis. when it comes to food, it might be worth considering switching out premium brands to cheaper store brands just to save costs. take advantage and make use of loyalty cards that offer cashback and loyalty rewards. when it comes to food, are we seeing supermarkets offer good discounts on their own branded produce still? yes, we see supermarkets such as asda, mentioned in your report earlier, try to cut down prices, in order to help consumers weather the cost of living crisis. but the fact is there is only so much supermarkets can do to protect consumers from the rising cost of living.

there are some factors beyond their control. some of those include the devastating war in ukraine. all households will get a £400 discount off their energy bills, that�*s some months away in october. will it feel like an impact, will it feel like a saving by then? a lot of people are struggling now and that�*s the difficulty. yes, any money will be grateful, especially for those in low income households. but unfortunately it mightjust come a little bit too late for many people to stay financially afloat in this difficult time. at least 1,000 people are known to have died in the worst earthquake to hit afghanistan in 20 years. the 6.1 quake struck in the middle of night, with most confirmed deaths in the south—eastern state of pa ktika. but the tremors were felt by 119 million people in afghanistan, pakistan and india. rescue teams are still searching for people buried underground,

and the taliban have appealed for international help. 0ur correspondentjon donnison has this report. in remote eastern afghanistan, there were chaotic scenes as the first military assistance arrived. local people bringing forward the dead and injured, desperate for help. the quake, with a magnitude of 6.1, struck in the middle of the night, as many were sleeping. translation: it was midnight when the quake struck. - the kids and i screamed. one of our rooms was destroyed. 0ur neighbours all screamed, too, when we saw everyone�*s rooms. with health care basic here at the best of times, makeshift field hospitals have been set up. in this part of afghanistan, a lot of the houses are mud built and were no match for the force of the quake. the taliban is trying to coordinate an aid operation

with the red crescent and has called for international help, but since the islamist group took power last year, foreign assistance has dried up — and all this in a country already in the midst of a humanitarian catastrophe, ravaged by drought, famine and poverty. jon donnison, bbc news. necephor mghendi is the afghanistan head of delegation for the red cross. he joins us live from kabul. thank you for being with us. what�*s the situation you are hearing from your team is on the ground in affected areas?— your team is on the ground in affected areas? ., ,, , ., ., ., affected areas? thank you for having me. we affected areas? thank you for having me- we have — affected areas? thank you for having me. we have our— affected areas? thank you for having me. we have our teams _ affected areas? thank you for having me. we have our teams who - affected areas? thank you for having me. we have our teams who left - affected areas? thank you for having me. we have our teams who left in i me. we have our teams who left in the late morning and they have just arrived and can tell us what is happening. a number of homes and houses that have been damaged, most of them made by mud. you have some

the effects of drought which has been prolonged for some time. you have the cases of poverty and economic hardship that have resulted over the past ten months. now you have this event. of course, the needs locally will not cover what is required now. mobilising from outside is also a drop in the ocean because we have also other parts of afghanistan that are needing humanitarian assistance. we will address the coming situation in the coming days but we will definitely need more assistance. we have humanitarian organisations who are responding and we hope this will help to address the immediate needs. international and governmental bodies from around the world have been reluctant to work with the taliban since they took power last year. do you see that changing now? i think from the humanitarian context we have been working with

authorities even before august last year and we continue to work with them, all humanitarian organisations are working locally and internationally. with the authorities, like it or not. you can�*t do anything about it will stop this reminds you that the local authorities have the primary role of responding and if we don�*t work with them then we are setting ourselves up them then we are setting ourselves up for failure, especially in a country like this which is prone to earthquakes and calamities. the international community should support afghanistan, the humanitarian assistance should be beyond political aspects in this case. our primary focus is to make sure people get assistance and that requires support from all, especially the international community. especially the international community-— especially the international communi .~ ., , ., , community. what support and help would do you _ community. what support and help would do you say — community. what support and help would do you say is _ community. what support and help would do you say is needed - community. what support and help would do you say is needed right i community. what support and help i would do you say is needed right now from the international community? right now we have supplies available in the country in different parts of the country so we can buy food and

non—food items. what we need is financial support by those locally. we also need to get people assistance medically. economic hardship was impacting them before the earthquake. we need to make sure... we need to give them cash to buy whatever is available in local markets, and to rebuild their homes as they would like. all this will require support from financial support and in some cases supplies can be shipped into the country and we can distribute it with the red cross and red crescent and other humanitarian partners.— cross and red crescent and other humanitarian partners. from kabul, thank ou humanitarian partners. from kabul, thank you for— humanitarian partners. from kabul, thank you for being _ humanitarian partners. from kabul, thank you for being with _ humanitarian partners. from kabul, thank you for being with us. - the virus that causes polio has been detected in multiple sewage samples in london. health officials say while the risk to the public is low, they are urging people to ensure

they�*ve been fully immunised against polio. 0ur global health correspondent naomi grimley gave us more details. people haven�*t presented to doctors yet with polio, and polio in its most serious form can cause paralysis. but what has happened here is that health officials have managed to detect it in sewage water, which of course they are testing anyway for other viruses like covid. whereas sometimes theyjust see it and it disappears, it�*s gone, one week it�*s there and the next it isn�*t, this time they have seen it repeatedly over a series of months and that makes them wonder whether it has come in, imported probably via someone who was vaccinated with a very weakened form of the virus, given the oral polio vaccine, which is an older version of the one we use now in the uk, and somehow it has mutated and is now being passed on in unvaccinated pockets of the community. police failed to see sexually abused children in rotherham as victims,

a police watchdog has found. the independent office for police conduct investigated 47 current and former officers after it was revealed at least 1,400 girls were abused, trafficked and groomed in the town between 1997 and 2013. it found crimes were not properly investigated due to "systemic problems" in south yorkshire police. the force�*s police and crime commissioner claims the report "fails to identify any individual accountability" and "lets down victims and survivors", as our north of england correspondentjudith moritz reports. rotherham is a town tarnished by its past, where children were sexually abused and exploited, and where the police turned a blind eye. i would have contact with the police on a daily basis. i was never treated as a victim. i was treated as somebody who was his mistress, somebody that was a part of his gang. sammy woodhouse was 14 when she met her abuser. he groomed her and got her pregnant, but officers who saw them

together never intervened. i remember on one occasion the police pulled him over, he looked about the car, asked me how i was, i got back in the car and we drove off. and there were so many occasions like that, and looking back, there werejust so many missed opportunities. a new report by the police watchdog, the iopc, gives fresh detail about systemic failings by the south yorkshire force between 1997 and 2013. children were blamed for their own abuse. the force says that wouldn�*t happen now. south yorkshire police of today is a different organisation. today in rotherham we have a specialist team to deal with child sexual exploitation, we work extensively with partners and we have the infrastructure, training and the people to deal with it. the iopc investigation took eight years and cost £6 million. there is criticism it hasn�*t delivered accountability. i think the iopc has let down the victims, the survivors. .

i think it has let down the police by dragging this out for so long. having these things hang over them. i think it has let down us, - the public of south yorkshire, by not providing a proper answer to the question of, where does i accountability lie ? the iopc says its investigation is still open and its work is to ensure the situation doesn�*t happen again. no police officers have been sacked or prosecuted. more than 40 abusers have been convicted of grooming offences and cases continue to go through the courts. the justice system is still catching up with rotherham�*s past. judith moritz, bbc news, rotherham. facebook says it has removed a large number of accounts 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, taken in public without their consent. 0ur correspondent angus crawford has this report, which contains some flashing images.

this man is following a schoolgirl in new york, about to film up her skirt and post the footage on facebook. we�*ve censored the images. but our investigation found facebook groups with thousands of members, all sharing so—called upskirt photos and videos. and with comments like this. 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. this image was taken at an airport in britain, without her knowledge or consent. 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. it�*s disgusting. it�*s horrid. when morgan was 15, a man filmed her in a changing room cubicle. she�*s campaigned ever since against upskirting and harassment. it�*s money to them, isn�*t it? the more users, the more photos, the more comments that are on photos, the more cash that they get. so upskirting makes facebook money? yeah. pretty much. and there�*s more. we found group members sharing tips on upskirting, including this british man. we reported his posts, but again, they weren�*t taken down. and that shocked mpjess phillips, who�*s campaigned for women�*s safety all her career. oh, my god. what is wrong with facebook?

what are your initial thoughts about facebook or what it�*s doing? i mean, i don't know how they can think that that is not beyond their community standards. well, that'sjust encouraging them. i would say that notjust facebook are failing in their... ..in their protection of people on their site, their privacy and their dignity, they're 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.

a couple from bristol who kept vulnerable people as modern—day slaves to run their car wash have been jailed for a total of 25 years. maros tancos and joanna gomulska were at the centre of a human trafficking operation. an investigation led by the national crime agency found that they persuaded vulnerable people to travel from slovakia to work for them. tancos received 16 years imprisonment and gomulska, nine years. investigators are trying to find out why a 13 year old boy died in an incident in the river taff in cardiff. south wales police confirmed the news following an extensive search involving police, fire crews, ambulance officers, coastguards and a police helicopter. david grundy reports. it was about 4:45pm yesterday afternoon when a group of young people were cooling off in the river just through the railway viaduct just there when they realised one of their friends was missing. emergency services were called, the police, fire and ambulance service and even the coast guard were involved in the search. it was an hour later

that the 13—year—old boy was pulled from the water a little bit further down here. attempts were made to resuscitate him but they were unsuccessful and he was confirmed dead early this morning. today his family is being supported by specially trained officers. the coroner has also been informed of the incident and a police investigation is ongoing. in the last few hours people have come here to pay respects, laying flowers at the scene and balloons have been released into the water as well. local mp anna mcmorrin has described his death as devastating and heartbreaking. she thanked the emergency services for their work. this is even more tragic because it is the second death of a teenager in a river in south wales in the last four weeks. a month ago i was standing on the banks of the river tawe in swansea where13—year—old kane edwards had got into difficulty. he had been missing for an hour. attempts were made to revive him but he too sadly died at the scene. that is a different incident, a different city on a different river but the circumstances are very

similar, going off to cool in the river after a hot day at school. what happened in cardiff on the river taff yesterday is still part of an ongoing police investigation, and that investigation will continue through the afternoon. the gates have opened at glastonbury festival — after a three year break because of coronavirus. hundreds of people queued from the early hours to be among the first onto the site of the music festival in somerset. performances on the main stages begin on friday — sir paul mccartney, billie eilish and kendrick lamar will headline the pyramid stage. 0ur entertainment correspondent colin paterson is at worthy farm. right, welcome! we�*re open! after a three—year wait, the very moment glastonbury finally reopened its doors. wahoo! and the festival�*s founder michael eavis was there to greet people. i like the top hat. look at that. perfect. greatest party on earth.

to herfamily as nanny pat. day for one lady, known for her 80th birthday in 2020, all she wanted was a ticket to glastonbury. you�*ve made it, you�*re in. i�*m in! two years later, she�*s finally getting go. i hear you get quite close to the front of the stage. just describe your tactic. sneak round the side! you can get near the front. i can�*t get in the middle, i�*d be slaughtered. i heard you got rowdy at the kaiser chiefs before. who told you that?! i got a bit. you know, i can�*t keep still. i�*m sort of bopping around. welcome to glastonbury, baby! her number one must—see is paul mccartney, and nanny pat says she will be down the front and taking no prisoners. colin paterson, bbc news, glastonbury. more now on the the news that inflation — the rate that prices rise — is going up at its fastest

since the 1980s, according to figures out today. let�*s speak to the labour frontbencher stephen kinnock who joins us from westminster. chancellor rishi sunak says they are using all the tools at their disposal. using all the tools at their disposal-— using all the tools at their disosal. . ., , using all the tools at their disosal. ~ ., , , , disposal. we are seeing the results of ears disposal. we are seeing the results of years and _ disposal. we are seeing the results of years and years _ disposal. we are seeing the results of years and years of _ disposal. we are seeing the results of years and years of neglect - disposal. we are seeing the results of years and years of neglect and i of years and years of neglect and underinvestment in our economy. 0ne underinvestment in our economy. one of the key drivers of inflation is poor productivity and because under this government there hasn�*t been enough investment in manufacturing, in boosting our infrastructure and having a real policy for moving to a cleaner, greener economy, we have not driven up productivity in the workforce and across the economy and that�*s one of the big underlying causes of inflation. that�*s why inflation in the uk is so much higher than it is in france and many other corresponding economies. it is connected to low growth. we will have the lowest growth in the entire 620 have the lowest growth in the entire g20 next year, apart from russia. there are underlying causes. yes, there are global issues but it�*s

also really the result of a massive failure of the tories over the last 12 years to manage our economy effectively. in 12 years to manage our economy effectively-— 12 years to manage our economy effectivel . ,.,, ., ., effectively. in the position we are in now, effectively. in the position we are in now. which _ effectively. in the position we are in now, which you _ effectively. in the position we are in now, which you blame - effectively. in the position we are in now, which you blame the - in now, which you blame the government for, what would you do to try to bring inflation down? we would try to bring inflation down? - would take vat off fuel. we have already talked about a windfall tax on oil and gas companies. we would have a review on business rates to get much better business rates for small and medium—size enterprises. we have a whole range of other measures to support smes. we need to see much more support for the steel industry so it can be taken through the transition to cleaner, greener steel—making which is, by the way, a real opportunity in terms of productivity and a more modern manufacturing sector. we need an industrial policy that is actually going to support manufacturing industries. that�*s what will drive growth. by the way, the government talks about levelling up but really

thatis talks about levelling up but really that is an empty sound bite if you don�*t really support our manufacturing sector. so a huge number of plans that labour has to get the economy firing on all cylinders and from the government at the moment in terms of a long—term plan for the economy we are seeing nothing at all. the bank of england will take the decisions based on what they see across the economy but it is clear when you are facing big jumps on inflation action on interest rates is usually taken but the way to really deal with inflation, if you want to grow the economy without inflation you have to deal with the issues around productivity so that means investing in skills, having

better infrastructure, getting an energy policy so that manufacturing businesses really understand where they need to invest and how they need to move to a cleaner, greener future. .,, need to move to a cleaner, greener future. ., ., , , future. those are the opportunities for growth- — future. those are the opportunities for growth- we _ future. those are the opportunities for growth. we have _ future. those are the opportunities for growth. we have got _ future. those are the opportunities for growth. we have got to - future. those are the opportunities for growth. we have got to grow i future. those are the opportunitiesl for growth. we have got to grow our way out of this crisis. grow our way out of a crisis without driving inflation out on the way to do that is to address productivity crisis in our country. let is to address productivity crisis in our country-— is to address productivity crisis in our country. let me ask you about another story- _ our country. let me ask you about another story. those _ our country. let me ask you about another story. those strikes - our country. let me ask you about another story. those strikes by i our country. let me ask you about| another story. those strikes by the rmt. we know they are going to go ahead tomorrow. we had a statement from network rail saying we are disappointed the rmt have again chosen to walk away from negotiations without agreeing a deal. we remain available for talks day or night and will do everything we can to avoid causing further disruption our passengers. what is your reaction to the collapse of these talks? mr; your reaction to the collapse of these talks?— your reaction to the collapse of these talks? g ., , ., these talks? my reaction is to say very clearly _ these talks? my reaction is to say very clearly to _ these talks? my reaction is to say very clearly to boris _ these talks? my reaction is to say very clearly to boris johnson - these talks? my reaction is to say very clearly to boris johnson and l very clearly to borisjohnson and the transport secretary and to this government that they need to get around the table. the train

operators, are tied, to some extent, by the fact they are getting no direction from government. it is written into their contracts with government that they have to deal with industrial disputes on the basis of direction from government but the fact is we have a government that wants these strikes to happen. they want them to go ahead because they feed off the division and the strife that that causes and, really, it is about doing whatever they can to keep borisjohnson in hisjob. it is the very definition of putting the their party ahead of the country because they are inflicting misery on thousands and thousands of the british people because they want to have this big politicalfight british people because they want to have this big political fight rather than getting around the table and actually supporting the torque so that we can get a compromise and get our railways running again. the government — our railways running again. the government would of course disagree with that and say the rmt need to compromise. thank you very much for being with us. now time for a look

at the weather. grey skies behind you there. it has been a beautiful day today but absolutely, we could be seeing some storm clouds tomorrow. they will be very well scattered, though. so i think overall it is still going to be a fine day for most of us were probably not as sunny as it is right now apart from some fair weather clouds across england and wales i think it is beautiful. a clear sky this evening. more cloud in the north west and northern ireland for sure. this is 7pm temperature still up sure. this is 7pm temperature still up to around the mid 20s across parts of central and southern england. not much happens tonight. we�*ve got a little bit of cloud may be some damp weather around the western isles but for most of us, clear skies earlier in the morning and clear skies of 13 or 14 in larger towns and cities but through the morning into the afternoon we will be watching the south coast where storms could be approaching on through the day they will be spreading into parts of the midlands and wales but they will be very well

scattered so that means there will be plenty of sunshine around as well. a few catch one of these times you will know about it. that could be downpours. 29 degrees as the top temperature in central england but for most of us will be warm and from friday the temperatures are lowering. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: the rmt says tomorrow�*s rail strikes across england, scotland and wales will go ahead — after talks ended today — the union has accused the transport secretary grant shapps of �*wrecking the negotiations�* new figures show the prices we�*re paying for food, fuel, gas and electricity continue to rise at the fastest rate for 40 years at least 1000 people are reported dead, and scores injured, after a powerful earthquake in afghanistan. a report has found that south yorkshire police failed to protect vulnerable children from sexual exploitation in rotherham — but the report itself has been criticised for a failure

to hold any police officers to account. sport and a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. england�*s one—day cricketers have completed a 3—0 series whitewash in the netherlands. they chased down their target of 245 to win the third match, with nearly 20 overs to spare. it started well when david willey got the wicket of opener vikram singh for the third match in a row. the hosts bowled out for 244. jason roy led the chase and notched 101 not out off 86 balls. the winning shot in style, coming from jos buttler who captained the side in the absence of the injured eoin morgan. to the red ball and jamie 0verton will make his england test debut at headingley in the third and final test against new zealand which begins tomorrow— he�*ll do so alongside his twin brother craig.

the surrey paceman replaces james anderson, who misses out due to an ankle problem. england have already won the series, but will be hoping for a 3—0 whitewash of the reigning world test champions. 0verton has taken 21 wickets in the county championship this year and is fully deserving of a call up according to captain ben stokes. he has been bowling fast this year for surrey and taking wickets and he has been, you know, a point of death and so it is great to be able to have someone coming this week and represent england especially being in the good form that he represent england especially being in the good form that he is represent england especially being in the good form that he is so represent england especially being in the good form that he is so there is not a better time for him to come out and show the world but he is capable of but, yeah, to have someone come in and change the game on the way both fastball aggressive, yet it is exciting. plenty to keep an eye on today at eastbourne if you�*re a british tennis fan. 7 brits in action across the men�*s and women�*s competitions.

celebrated, especially given the challenges that community has had in terms of stabilising their status and getting the compensation that they deserve from those who have suffered from the illegal migrants policy. suffered from the illegal migrants oli . . ., suffered from the illegal migrants oli . , ., ., suffered from the illegal migrants oli . . ., ., ., ,, suffered from the illegal migrants oli . . ., ., ., ~' ., policy. great to talk to you. thanks so much for— policy. great to talk to you. thanks so much for coming _ policy. great to talk to you. thanks so much for coming in. _ thanks so much for coming in. a new bill of rights has been published by the government, which says it will enable it to override rulings made by the european court of human rights. last week it was that court which blocked a flight organised by the home office to remove a number of asylum seekers from the uk to rwanda. let�*s have a look at what�*s included in the bill. the government says it includes greater weight in law to freedom of speech and makes it clear that the uk supreme court is the ultimate judicial decision—maker on human rights issues. rulings by the european court of human rights do not always need to be followed by uk courts. but the government also says it does not intend to quit the european convention on human rights. the echr is a set of legal safeguards allowing ordinary people to challenge what they say is unfair treatment by their government.

deputy prime minister dominic raab unveiled his new bill in parliament earlier today. we strengthen the separation of powers in this country, affirming the supremacy of the supreme court. being explicit that the uk courts are under no obligation to follow the strasbourg case law and indeed, are free to divert from it. i�*m proud of our world beating judiciary. and what else is the point, what else is the point of the supreme court if it vows insubordination to a european one? the shadowjustice minister ellie reeves criticised the bill over how it might impact human rights protections for the most vulnerable. this is a very dark day for victims of crime, for women, for people in care, for everyone in this country who rely on the state to protect them from harm. this is not a bill of rights. it is a corn. the lord

chancellor knows this because has been working on it for over a decade. we know from the queen�*s speech that this bill will take away the duty of the state to protect everyone from harm by removing the positive obligations set out in the human rights act. positive obligations set out in the human rights act. human right barristerjessica seymor qc told us regardless of the bill of rights as long as the uk was a part of the european convention on human rights which the government says it will remain a part off — it would be in breach of interenational law to not abide by itsjudgement. the united kingdom is not going to leave the council of europe despite some of the mps pushing for it. that means that anything that the united kingdom does, which strasberg says is unlawful, is a breach by the united kingdom of international law. it may not be a breach of domestic law, it probably isn�*t even at the moment a breach of domestic law but the crucial point is that people will be able to go to strasberg and

have their rights vindicated. and to that extent, any new legislation which makes rights that one could previously vindicate and domestic courts now only actionable the strasbourg court, it undermines the idea that the human rights act would bring bites home and bring power to ourjudges rather than the strasbourg judges. ourjudges rather than the strasbourgjudges. just ourjudges rather than the strasbourg judges. strasbourg 'udges. just explain. last week strasbourg judges. just explain. last week this _ strasbourg judges. just explain. last week this decision - strasbourg judges. just explain. last week this decision by i strasbourg judges. just explain. last week this decision by the i last week this decision by the european court of human rights top the plane leaving the uk with asylum seekers and it was supposed to go to rwanda. with these new bill of rights be able to overrule a decision like that? with that plane of left if this bill from what we know, was already in existence? tt know, was already in existence? tit is difficult to see how this would change the position because the current position would be that, if the home secretary had sent the flight out anyway last week that would have been a breach of international law by the united

kingdom and no legislation can change that fact as long as we are within the convention. so, any sense, not really matter what this legislation says. if the united kingdom sends flights despite a rule 39 injunction from the strasbourg court, the united kingdom will be in breach of international law. more than five million refugees from ukraine are trying to settle into new homes across europe. for the 1,000 or so who are now in wales, that settling in period begins at a so—called "welcome centre". 0ur wales correspondent, hywel griffith, has been to one, to meet some of the families who are staying there. 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. 0lena and kateryna arrived just

a fortnight ago, escaping the life where their children had to hide in basements. it feels like home. completely happy, both of my kids, they�*re just playing, they are at 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. 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 never expected that hospitality. 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 griffith, bbc news.

northern ireland and those pollen levels remain very high but next two or three days we will see those pollen levels dropping. more of an atlantic breeze so i think some respite for hay fever sufferers on the way. let's have a look at evening hours. not much happening on the weatherfront. we evening hours. not much happening on the weather front. we are starting to see the first signs early in the morning tomorrow of perhaps a thundery weather drifting out of the south and the showers and maybe storms could reach the south—east coast as early as early morning on thursday. basically, these lightning bolts basicallyjust indicate the risk of where we could see heavy showers and thunderstorms of the course of the afternoon but remember, they will be scattered so there will be lots of sunshine around. a warm day. hot, and bright. 29 celsius. the north—west it is much fresher. the atlantic are starting to put in so far we start to see changes in the weather here out towards the west though showers and thunderstorms will continue for and thunderstorms will continue for a time into tomorrow evening on

friday and the weekend, an area of low pressure establishes itselfjust to the west of the british isles so it will be centred somewhere around here where you can see that swirl in the wind. that is the fresh atlantic are trying to push on across the uk and that will bring thicker cloud, occasional showers, perhaps thunderstorms around as well and it will be a good feel cooler. no longer 29 in central england on friday. we are down to 20 or 21. a residual warmth in east anglia. around 25. this area of low pressure will be slow moving to the weekend and into the week ahead. it is basicallyjust and into the week ahead. it is basically just start here, and into the week ahead. it is basicallyjust start here, it has stilled so that means the weather around it were to circle and cycle and circle, the breeze and the showers. so the weather will be changeable in those temperatures, little bit on the cool side there. belfast around 16 degrees but for this is looking absolutely fine. a beautiful evening. enjoy it.
