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. in gayan district, 1800 homes have been destroyed. we don't know if there are still people in those homes, so we're desperately trying to work with local partners to get through that rubble and see if there are any survivors. 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.

0ur correspondent secunder kermani is in the afghan capital kabul. the earthquake struck late last night in the capital and we felt them across the border in the pakistani capital. but the extent has only gradually become more clear this morning because the epicentre is in a very rural part of the southeastern province for the reports that we are getting from local officials there suggest that a large number of people unfortunately have been killed and that a large number of houses have been destroyed. health facilities in the immediate area are pretty basic. helicopters have been used to ferry some of the injured to hospital and the tele— band have been calling on eight agencies to reach the scene and help provide material support. this crisis of course coming on top of an existing humanitarian crisis

in afghanistan where people are facing acute levels of hunger. stay with us and we will have the very latest with the situation on the ground in the next little while here on bbc news because i will be talking to the head of the un office for the coordination of communitarian affairs and they will be doing to me from afghanistan itself so we will have more on that to come. prices are continuing to rise at their fastest pace for a0 years, with food, energy and fuel costs all increasing. 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 i that they set out to. they say, £30 is my limit, and if they get to more . than £30, that's it, stop. and 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, i the country, the government, perhaps the bank of england, - didn't see inflation coming quickly. they've now recognised that. but 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, i inflation, inflation, inflation. and this boss doesn't want to predict where it will stop. emma simpson, bbc news, stevenage.

what can we all do to try to mitigate against the rising cost—of—living? what changes can people make? let's ask a financial adviser. joining me now to talk about how we cut everyday costs is emmanuel asuquo, a financial adviser and media personality. good evening. thanks for being with us. some of the figures today are even more eye watering, they must create much demand for someone like you. what would be your headline thoughts as to how on earth people can cope with this given there are certain things i don't have a lot of control over?— control over? you are right and i think now _ control over? you are right and i think now is _ control over? you are right and i think now is the _ control over? you are right and i think now is the time _ control over? you are right and i think now is the time where - control over? you are right and i i think now is the time where people have made cuts and we have talked about it for so long, people have made cuts. now was a time that we have to become savvy and look at other ways that we can still do the things that we want to do but in a savvier way and try and see how we can save money with not being able

to do anything. right now, the cuts are so much that if we cut any more there will be nothing left really to cut. so what's really important is we start to get a bit savvier and plant stuff and i speak to clients we talk about what can we do? yes, you might be able to get rid of a subscription here or there but the reality is look at where we are spending the money. where is the money going and how can we spend that money in a better way.- that money in a better way. talking about planning. _ that money in a better way. talking about planning. i— that money in a better way. talking about planning, i think— that money in a better way. talking about planning, i think that's - that money in a better way. talking about planning, i think that's a - that money in a better way. talking about planning, i think that's a key| about planning, i think that's a key you are mentioning there, is that particularly helpful with day—to—day things, like groceries, that sort of things, like groceries, that sort of thing you can if you have got the time and the inclination sit down and really look ahead? yes. time and the inclination sit down and really look ahead? yes, because we know that — and really look ahead? yes, because we know that typically _ and really look ahead? yes, because we know that typically you _ and really look ahead? yes, because we know that typically you will - and really look ahead? yes, because we know that typically you will have l we know that typically you will have breakfast, lunch, dinner but i feel a lot of the time when i talk to clients i get the props about its dinnertime and i'm not clients i get the props about its dinner time and i'm not prepared anything and i will get takeout. right now we need to plan so that we don't have these one—off expenses that are happening over and over

again and we cannot really end up affording. so we need to plan our meals that we will have come up lamp what you're going to be doing, how you were doing it, when you're travelling planned that. i've had clients now that are carpooling because people are living in the local area that are working in the same place. so you can do that and i've had other clients that has put into their workplace and set the cost of travel is getting so much, can i now instead of having one day a home a week and i got a two or three days to reduce that cost? is about seeing where your money is going and having a plan i had to reduce the cost.— reduce the cost. have you been helinu reduce the cost. have you been helping her _ reduce the cost. have you been helping her try _ reduce the cost. have you been helping her try to _ reduce the cost. have you been helping her try to help - reduce the cost. have you been helping her try to help people l reduce the cost. have you been i helping her try to help people who have perhaps tried a lot of the things that you have just outlined and say i'm out of ideas here? perhaps they have a job where they have to use their car, that's the nature of their work, they don't live somewhere with good public transport, what do you say to someone like that?— transport, what do you say to someone like that? what i said to someone like that? what i said to someone like _ someone like that? what i said to someone like that _ someone like that? what i said to someone like that what _

someone like that? what i said to someone like that what i - someone like that? what i said to someone like that what i thought| someone like that? what i said to i someone like that what i thought the clients is value also is time to create new income streams as well. so we'll have a client seminar who is someone who drives for work but also he will do amazon, looking at other ways to bring money in. so after looking at how can i use the skills that i have to make more income so i can afford to do what i want to do. just relying on one income in a time like this is very difficult so we have to look at what other skills we have enough in others that start to drink because again they are very good at maths and english. so it's about looking at how i can also bring more money in it notjust rely on this one income. in it not 'ust rely on this one income. �* . ~' , ., income. all right, thank you. i think given — income. all right, thank you. i think given the _ income. all right, thank you. i think given the current - income. all right, thank you. i think given the current state l income. all right, thank you. i. think given the current state we will be talking again but thank you very much for now. thank you for your time, a financial adviser. tied up your time, a financial adviser. tied up with a cost of living is of

course what's happening on the railways this week. the rmt has confirmed that tomorrow's rail strike across england, scotland and wales will go ahead after new talks 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 2900 of its members. millions of people were affected yesterday after workers walked out in the last hour or two, the department for transport has responded to the claimant saying it was a total lie. millions of people were affected yesterday after workers walked out in a dispute about pay, job losses and conditions. earlier, our business correspondent ben king gave us this update. things were a bit more positive this morning. we had a statement from network rail saying that the two sides got close to an agreement yesterday. they've been in talks for much of the day, and it looked like, you know, the longer the talks went on,

the more optimistic, you know, 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 two sides just cannot find an agreement on. tomorrow's disruption was sort of baked in already because even if they had found an agreement today, it wasn't going to be possible to put everything back in orderfor trains to run as normal tomorrow. and there will be another day on friday which will be much like today, about six out of ten trains running, 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, continue discussions, so it's not impossible that they may find an agreement before saturday, which is the third day of strikes planned. then keying there with the update on the real strike and again tomorrow affecting so many people in the country. it is 1a minutes past five

p:m.. as promised we will talk more about our main story, the devastating earthquake in afghanistan. 6.1 was amended to in about 1000 or perhaps at least that many known to have died in that quake. when you know that it was the worst, the strongest in the country for 20 years. let's find outjust what the humanitarian need is there now in the country as a result and i am joined by isabel... i'm joined now by isabelle moussard carlsen, head of united nations office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs in afghanistan. first of all, to clarify if you are able to tell us how many people have sadly lost their lives i have many are injured and others who need your help? are in'ured and others who need your hel ? . ~ are in'ured and others who need your hel? . ~' ,. are in'ured and others who need your hel? . ~' , are in'ured and others who need your hel? . ~ , . ., are in'ured and others who need your hel? ., ~' y., , . ., ., help? thank you very much, and at this time it — help? thank you very much, and at this time it is — help? thank you very much, and at this time it is difficult _ help? thank you very much, and at this time it is difficult to _ this time it is difficult to confirm numbers. we have humanitarian teams

on the ground since this morning. today was really about search and rescue. that was the priority. assessment will start tomorrow, but numbers are not confirmed this evening in afghanistan. {lilia numbers are not confirmed this evening in afghanistan. ok, this struck in the _ evening in afghanistan. ok, this struck in the middle _ evening in afghanistan. ok, this struck in the middle of - evening in afghanistan. ok, this struck in the middle of the - evening in afghanistan. 0k, this| struck in the middle of the night. the list of priorities is long, i'm sure. where do you start with something on this scale in a country thatis something on this scale in a country that is already in pretty dire straits? , ., , , straits? yet, the priority is obviously _ straits? yet, the priority is obviously basic _ straits? yet, the priority is l obviously basic humanitarian assistance. initially as always and earthquakes it's a search and rescue of the victims, and then very quickly after that, it's putting people in a safe place. we know that tonight the people who have lost their houses will be welcomed in

community members or with relatives, but some will be outside in the open. it's very bad weather in afghanistan these days. it's actually very cold for the season. it's pouring with rain and a lot of wind, so it's unfortunate and it really these people will have a very difficult night. we also are expecting that the sun and the heat will come back, so there is an emergency shelter but all the other aid assistance, clean water, access to clean water, food, commodities, access to health will be very, very important in the next couple of days and this is exactly what the coordination of the humanitarian international ngos and national ngos and the un and in coordination with the de facto authorities who have also been really stepping up to

respond to this situation. we are all on the ground in the areas that have been affected.— all on the ground in the areas that have been affected. yes, and you are talkini have been affected. yes, and you are talking about the _ have been affected. yes, and you are talking about the absolute _ have been affected. yes, and you are talking about the absolute basics - talking about the absolute basics being needed. what sort of infrastructure are you dealing with, if any? is there a need for planes and helicopters to get supplies in? i mean, are there roads to some of the areas that you need to access? yes, it is accessible. today, the de facto authorities and especially the minister of defence has had a number of helicopters rotating to bring the injured to hospitals. and we also have a number of trucks with supplies of medicine and medical kits that have been travelling all day to reach the area. as well as the humanitarian teams that have been travelling from different areas in the provinces to reach the

affected area. so there is an ability to access the area. ibind affected area. so there is an ability to access the area. and what can other governments _ ability to access the area. and what can other governments do - ability to access the area. and what can other governments do to - ability to access the area. and what can other governments do to help? j can other governments do to help? want to help?— can other governments do to help? want to help? welcome of the thing is with an earthquake _ want to help? welcome of the thing is with an earthquake is _ want to help? welcome of the thing is with an earthquake is that - want to help? welcome of the thing is with an earthquake is that the - is with an earthquake is that the solution is not short—term. these people will need to be accompanied for the next couple of months. they will need to receive support initially emergency support but after that they will need to be able to regain their ability to have an income. if we are in farming communities, there will be impact of their ability to farm, possibly damage to irrigation channels so it's a long—term presence alongside them that is going to be required and absolutely the international humanitarian community as well as the national actors will need support and funding. this comes and

you said it comes in a situation thatis you said it comes in a situation that is already very critical. the military in a crisis is very important in this country. the drought, the food insecurity are very, very concerning for the rest of the year. we are looking at a very dire lien season for the afghan communities. very vulnerable afghan communities. very vulnerable afghan communities and people and therefore this is notjust an emergency response. it's a long—term response. important to bear that in mind. thank you so much again forjoining us at such a busy time. many thanks to the head of the un office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs. a major oil refinery in southern russia near the border with ukraine has been hit by two drone strikes. meanwhile, heavy shelling

is continuing around the town of sieverodonetsk in the donbas region, where russian forces are focusing their attacks. we also have an update on the number of casualties. the ministry of defence says the pro—russian breakaway region of donetsk may have lost up to 55% of its forces in fighting against ukrainian troops. british military intelligence says the donetsk people's republic had acknowledged that more than 2100 military personnel had been killed in action and more than 8800 had been wounded since the start of the year. 0ur correspondentjoe inwood in kyiv has the lastest. so, this new analysis from the british ministry of defence is really quite interesting. they say that the donetsk people's republic have lost 55% of the combat forces they started this war with. that's about 11,000 men killed or injured. they also say that that's because they are coming in with substandard equipment very often and poor morale. now, a lot of the fighting,

a lot of those losses, have taken place around the donbas region, and that is where it may remains the most intense. in the city of sieverodonetsk, ukrainian forces have been pushed back into one small industrial area, but also the city of lysyschansk coming under increasingly heavy barrages. that is where russia has had an advantage throughout this conflict. the weight of artillery it can bring to the fight is far greater than anything the ukrainians have at their disposal. but there is hope today for the ukrainians that that will change. there's been announcement, it's been confirmed that high—tech modern artillery, 155—millimetre howitzers provided by the germans, are on their way. their forces have been trained in them in germany over the last few weeks and months and now these very high—tech guns are getting to the front line. what they hope is that this is going to tip the scales

in their favour and give them the possibility to compete in artillery terms with the russians in an area where really they've been struggling so far. a woman from rotherham who was groomed has shown her discussed with the report that fails to hold police accountable. 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 1,00 girls were abused, trafficked and groomed in the town between 1997 and 2013. our north of england correspondent judith moritz reports.

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 11i 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 wasjust 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. the 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's criticism it hasn't delivered accountability. i think the iopc has let down the victims, the survivors. . i i think it's let down the police i by dragging this out for so long. having these things hang over them. i think it's let down us, - the public of south yorkshire, by not providing a proper answer to the question of where does i accountability lie, then? 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 lio 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. our 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 shocks 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've tipped off police in new york. they are now investigating. angus crawford, bbc news. much more coming up in the next half an hour and we will pause to take a look at the weather. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren. this is a weather watcher picture taken in aberdeen sure where the temperature reached 26 degrees today making it the warmest day of the year so far. the heat continue to build across many areas of get more cloud across northern ireland and across the far north of scotland a

has been, you know, a point of difference 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 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, yeah, it is exciting. the build up to wimbledon continues in eastbourne, cameron norrie is the first of the brits to book his place in the quarter—finals. the british male number1 and top seed this week beat american brandon nakashima in straight sets for his first win on grass this year. britain'sjodie burrage and katie boulter both lost. boulter actually took the first set against two—time wimbledon champion petra kvitova. but the czech player came through to win in 3 sets. harriet dart�*s through to round three though. she beat the world number twenty threejil teichmann in three sets. dart won five games in a row to snatch the victory.

let's cross to central london to moderna uk's general manager darius hughes. why is this centre coming to the uk, first of all? well, the uk is a fantastic place to do research and development with a great nhs and all the fantastic institutions and academic excellence here, it's a server her place to do research and development. and a great place to really manufacture the vaccines we research and develop here in the uk. what are the benefits to you as a fundamentally us company to being here and what other benefits as far as you see it in this country? i think it's a great day for nhs and for patients in the uk and the general public. the really good news is we will be bringing onshore the capabilities of making messenger rna vaccines within100 days and we will be doing all the research and development here and we will have a manufacturing site that is able to turn around these vaccines in a

really quick time. whether it's for this pandemic of the next pandemic, we will be ready in the uk and we will be having that manufacturing capability here in the uk for moderna it is great news because we will be able to bring more jobs to the uk, will have more investment in the uk, will have more investment in the uk. it gives us an ability to stretch out our traditional us base and bring some science and research and bring some science and research and development here to the uk. yes. it's a and development here to the uk. yes. it's a research — and development here to the uk. yes. it's a research center. _ and development here to the uk. yes. it's a research center. is _ and development here to the uk. yes. it's a research center. is it _ and development here to the uk. yes. it's a research center. is it fair to assume that this is notjust about covid? how many other illnesses, diseases ultimately could be worked on here?— illnesses, diseases ultimately could be worked on here? absolutely. it's an innovation _ be worked on here? absolutely. it's an innovation and _ be worked on here? absolutely. it's an innovation and technology - be worked on here? absolutely. it'sj an innovation and technology centre we are building. they'll be a manufacturing plant alongside that the ability to do research and development. it's not about covid at all, it's going to be focused on respiratory diseases and next viral pandemic. yes, we will be able to produce covid vaccines bear and vaccines for the next pandemic but we will also be focusing on

producing flu and other very important viral diseases that really do cause the nhs in the british public a lot over the winter period. we will have that robustness, the pre—pandemic preparedness and will also be able to treat some of the common diseases, we will keep —— that keep the nhs very busy over the winter period. we that keep the nhs very busy over the winter period-— winter period. we all wish the pandemic _ winter period. we all wish the pandemic hadn't _ winter period. we all wish the pandemic hadn't happened i winter period. we all wish the | pandemic hadn't happened but winter period. we all wish the - pandemic hadn't happened but i'm also interested in and whether everything we've experienced over the last year or two has fundamentally changed the way vaccines and treatments are developed, pre—covid, who would've thought that vaccine could have been produced in a relatively short space of time? has working practices, research change a lot because of that global urgent response? i think so. yes, i think _ that global urgent response? i think so. yes, i think we've _ that global urgent response? i think so. yes, i think we've seen - that global urgent response? i think so. yes, i think we've seen the - so. yes, i think we've seen the learning from the pandemic really pulled forward now into the general way that we do things. at the moment, we are developing our next generation of covid vaccine and that's moving to the system. all those learnings from the covid

last four months. the time 19 to six. the time 19 to six. 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. this was all announced by dominic raab,. it will strengthen 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 caselaw, and indeed are free to differ from it. i am proud of our world—beating judiciary. and what else is the point, what else is the point of a supreme court if it bows in subordination 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 the care, for everyone in this country who rely on the state

to protect them from harm. this is not a bill of rights, it's a con. the lord chancellor knows this because he's 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. the view of labor. we are joined by sue willman, who is chair of the law society's human rights committee. good afternoon. your thoughts on what dominic raab announced today. well, i think what dominic raab announced today. well, ithink it what dominic raab announced today. well, i think it would be better framed a bit of wrongs rather than the bill of rights. at the moment people have got the right to go to court to enforce their basic human rights, but under these new proposals they're only going to be able to go to court if they can show substantiated disadvantage. otherwise, the only way they can enforce their rights is to go all

the way to strassburg which can take years. with the law there is concern it will reduce accountability and actually take away the powers of uk court. ,., . actually take away the powers of uk court. . ., ., , .,, ., ,, court. dominic raab was making... his argument _ court. dominic raab was making... his argument was _ court. dominic raab was making... his argument was we _ court. dominic raab was making... his argument was we have - court. dominic raab was making... his argument was we have a - court. dominic raab was making... his argument was we have a uk - his argument was we have a uk supreme court, you heard the argument, what is the point of having that body is what it decides, on behalf of the people uk can then be subsequently overruled? what are your thoughts about that argument from him? �* . . , , . ., from him? actually the experience of la ers on from him? actually the experience of lawyers on both _ from him? actually the experience of lawyers on both sides _ from him? actually the experience of lawyers on both sides is _ from him? actually the experience of lawyers on both sides is that - from him? actually the experience of lawyers on both sides is that the - lawyers on both sides is that the human rights works rather well and there is a dialogue between the supreme court and the european court of human rights. the best example on voting rights, uk courts didn't want to give prisoners voting rights, they european court of human rights or that they should. kind of a

chewing and throwing in the end of a small limited number of prisoners were in vermont and voting rights and resolution was found. in practice the european court of rights is not telling the supreme court what to do and it's not actually correct that the european court of human rights stopped at rwanda flight. what happened is, date made in one iranian torture victim but the decision of the flight not to go ahead was made by the uk government in response to decisions of the uk courts.- decisions of the uk courts. okay. dominic rob _ decisions of the uk courts. okay. dominic rob out _ decisions of the uk courts. okay. dominic rob out today _ decisions of the uk courts. okay. dominic rob out today defending j decisions of the uk courts. okay. dominic rob out today defending this as you would expect. it's his bill, he says no one is talking about tearing up human rights in this country —— dominic raab. we are staying in the european convention. how does that work legally, staying inside the european convention? well, it means that any public body

in the uk, whether it's your local school, your nhs or the home office, local counsel has to comply with the european convention on human rights. but if dominic raab makes it harder for ordinary people to go to court then that sends a message that may be those bodies don't actually have to take human rights into account as they do at the moment. one way that he's doing that is by limiting access to the courts, he saying you have to go through a screening phase before you can actually get to your human rights case into court. that can make it harderfor people human rights case into court. that can make it harder for people to go into court, more expensive, clog up the courts with delays. what's being said by mr rob doesn't really accord with the detail that's in the bill. i'm picking up from you, you've mentioned several times, it's interesting, you feel for ordinary people, every term it like that, it is going to be harder to go to court. your point is what

fundamentally? as it largely about money, the cost of trying to bring a case? just clarify if you get what you feel someone who has a grievance, this is going to make it harderfor them. grievance, this is going to make it harder for them.— grievance, this is going to make it harder for them. there is chewed new obstacles. the _ harder for them. there is chewed new obstacles. the first _ harder for them. there is chewed new obstacles. the first is _ harder for them. there is chewed new obstacles. the first is the _ obstacles. the first is the screening phase, you've got to get permission from the court before the case can go ahead and that doesn't happen at the moment. at the moment you make all your arguments, one of them might be human rights argument and the court hears it. so that can add extra costs. you might have a very strong case but you still got to go through the screening phase. second is, you can only, are you suggesting that the courts will only be able to decide in favour of human rights if there is substantial disadvantage to the person. so imagine a disabled person who wants to complain that they are not getting very good access to services or a local council has lost your

data or told your neighbour personal information about you, that might not be substantial disadvantage but it's still a breach of your rights to privacy. you might want to go to court about it. our concern at the law society at these changes will actually diminish access to justice and accountability. actually diminish access to 'ustice and accountability.�* actually diminish access to 'ustice and accountability. thank you. quite and accountability. thank you. quite a detailed technical— and accountability. thank you. quite a detailed technical area. _ and accountability. thank you. quite a detailed technical area. we - and accountability. thank you. quite a detailed technical area. we can - a detailed technical area. we can talk about this much longer. thank you for your time. the chair of the law societies of human rights commission. a statue in regards to the wind rush, depicting a man, woman and a child recognises the thousands of people who arrived in the uk from caribbean countries between 1948 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 duke of cambridge speaking to

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. good for her. the singer kate bush has given a rare interview describing her delight that her 1985 hit running up that hill has just got to number one in the uk singles chart. the song has new fans 37 years after it was first in the top ten

after featuring in the netflix drama stranger things. speaking to woman's hour on radio 4, kate bush said she had been shocked by the response. is this something that you can kind of get your head round? it's just extraordinary. it's such a great series i thought that the track would get some attention, but ijust never imagined it would be anything like this. it's... well, it is so exciting. it is quite shocking, really, isn't it? the whole world's gone mad. 37 years is the longest time a song has taken to get to number one and it's also in america, your first ever top ten hit in the us, which i didn't know. yeah, yeah, it is really a wonderful, i think is that this is a whole new audience. who, in a lot of cases, they had never heard of me and i love that. the thought of all these really

young people hearing the song for the first time and discovering it is, well, i think it's very special. i think it is a discovery by a new generation. there are people who have held you dear to their hearts for a long time her probably feel quite protective at the moment especially when some of their children are saying, have you heard of kate bush? they're saying, yeah, yes, very much so. in this context with stranger things, which i know you're obviously signed off on how the song was going to be used, was it important for you that it's a song that helps a female character, that it helps max? i think they put it in a really special place. actually, we watched it right from the word go, the first series onwards, so i was already familiar with the series. you were already a fan at this point? very much so, and i thought what a lovely way for the song to be used in such a positive way, as a kind of talisman, almost, really. for max. and, yeah, i think it is very

touching, actually. and people, especially when they're younger, music does save people, doesn't it, it's so important people and that's at the heart of how the song is used. they have really put it in a very special place and i think music is so special, it's different from all other art forms, isn't it, in a way. all art forms sit in their own space, but music has a way of touching people. let mejust read you one final thing. i did mention some of your original fans, you know, thinking about this new generation finding you and one person wrote kate bush did not go through wuthering heights, run all the way up that hill to make a deal with god, shout babushka for you all to be finding out about her in 2022. what do you make of that? i just would say well, thank you very much. thank you to everyone because it'sjust, you know, it's just extraordinary what's happening and it's very exciting.

the wonderful kate bush. gosh, makes you feel old. and you can hear the full interview with kate bush on woman's hour on bbc sounds. makes me feel old. karen has all the weather. i should've found a picture of a hill. well, it's been a lovely day today. we had shown general, temperatures reaching 28 degrees in london and 26 in aberdeenshire for the making it the warmest day of the year across scotland today. tomorrow will start to see the weather changing because there are thunderstorms pushing up from the south, where we got from northern parts of france. a bit of rain today in the far north moving away on the whole, some cloud still across the north and west of scotland and across northern island, will keep some of the cloud otherwise after a lovely evening, will have clear skies across england and wales for the first signs of some thundery

showers moving up from northern france into the channel islands by the end of the night. these are the temperatures come the end of the night so pretty warm out there as we head into tomorrow morning. it will heat up in the sunshine but we got the chance of the showers that could be heavy and thundery moving up from the english channel induced art of london, parts of wales, one or two shows break out into northern england but for scotland and northern ireland it should stay dry with some sunshine. not quite as warm in the northeast of scotland is today and highest temperatures in england will be a bit further north ahead of those developing thundery showers across the north of england and parts of northern england. but another very warm if not hot day. those heavy showers will probably push towards wales in western parts of england in the evening, allowing a clear and sunny end to the day in eastern parts of england. but the weather is changing, pressure is falling, we've got numerous but the fronts that threatens more cloud and threatens more rain as well. no doubt the details will change if the

showers for friday but we do have more clout around, some showers, these could turn heavy and thundery as we head into the afternoon, basically as they pushed their way up basically as they pushed their way up towards northern england and also into scotland. a bit of rain approaching the far southwest with stronger winds, this is where we got to much cooler air but temperatures will be a bit low, the last of anything very warm will be across east anglia on friday afternoon. those temperatures will continue to drop into the weekend. essentially we got pressure sitting just west of us pushing it weatherfront we got pressure sitting just west of us pushing it weather front through, followed by sunshine and some showers. it's not good to be a complete wash—out of the weekend by any means but the weather is certainly changing after the heat in today and tomorrow those temperatures will be lowering across the whole of the country. they'll be some sunshine, they'll be some showers and some of showers will be heavy.

today at six... afghanistan is struck by a powerful earthquake — the deadliest in 20 years. at least 1000 people are dead, say local officials, and many more injured. those numbers are likely to rise as rescuers search through the rubble. we are desperately trying to work with local partners to get through that rubble and see if there are any survivors that we can administer first aid to and get to local hospitals. emergency services like hospitals were already struggling — the country is one of the poorest in the world and millions are on the brink of famine. all these people have gathered to donate blood to encase it is needed, but whole villages have been

flattened. this isjust the but whole villages have been flattened. this is just the start of the crisis.
