good afternoon. borisjohnson says he will not undergo what he calls a "psychological transformation" of his character. speaking to the bbc, the prime minister insisted that policy was more important than personality. it's been a particularly bruising week for mrjohnson, after the conservatives lost two by—elections, before the resignation of his party chairman. this report from our political correspondent, tony bonsignore, contains some flash photography.

the war in ukraine, inflation, the threat of a global recession. there is plenty for commonwealth leaders in orlando to ponder. but for boris johnson, domestic politics is never far away —— commonwealth leaders in rwanda. the by—election defeats in wheatfield and tiverton and huntington have spooked some tory mps. and oliver dowden�*s resignation as party chairman has yet again put the spotlight on the prime minister's leadership. some think his behaviour is the problem and want a change of direction. oliver dowden said in his letter it could not be business as usual, i am not hearing you say i have heard what the voters have said and i am going to change. iii what the voters have said and i am going to change-— what the voters have said and i am going to change. if you want me, let me be clear. — going to change. if you want me, let me be clear. if _ going to change. if you want me, let me be clear, if you _ going to change. if you want me, let me be clear, if you are _ going to change. if you want me, let me be clear, if you are saying - going to change. if you want me, let me be clear, if you are saying you i me be clear, if you are saying you want _ me be clear, if you are saying you want me — me be clear, if you are saying you want me to — me be clear, if you are saying you want me to undergo some sort of psychological transformation, i think— psychologicaltransformation, i think our— psychological transformation, i think our listeners will note that is not _ think our listeners will note that is not going to happen. if

think our listeners will note that is not going to happen.- think our listeners will note that is not going to happen. if the prime minister won't _ is not going to happen. if the prime minister won't change _ is not going to happen. if the prime minister won't change his _ is not going to happen. if the prime minister won't change his ways - is not going to happen. if the prime minister won't change his ways and | minister won't change his ways and some in his party in for the veteran tory mp andrew bridge are considering trying to force through a change to that leadership rules so the prime minister can face another no—confidence vote soon rather than waiting another year as is currently the case. if those threats are meant to intimidate they are not working. i think probably voters were really fed up with hearing a lot of conversation about me in relation to things that they thought i should not have been doing and stuff i got wrong and what they wanted to hear about was what we were doing for them, for the country. and for their lives. the lesson that i take is we've just got to get the focus on all the things we are doing to take the country forward.— the country forward. labour is convinced _ the country forward. labour is convinced the _ the country forward. labour is convinced the problems - the country forward. labour is convinced the problems run . the country forward. labour is - convinced the problems run deeper. this is not a problem with boris

johnson, — this is not a problem with boris johnson, it's a problem with the tory— johnson, it's a problem with the tory party. _ johnson, it's a problem with the tory party. regardless of labour will be _ tory party. regardless of labour will be ready to beat the tory party whoever _ will be ready to beat the tory party whoever is — will be ready to beat the tory party whoever is at the head of it. after rwanda it's _ whoever is at the head of it. after rwanda it's on _ whoever is at the head of it. after rwanda it's on to _ whoever is at the head of it. after rwanda it's on to germany - whoever is at the head of it. in rwanda it's on to germany and spain for borisjohnson. he will be hoping his time on the world stage will strengthen his position at home. tony bonsignore, bbc news. the third day of strike action this week on the railways is taking place. thousands of rmt union members at network rail and 13 train operating companies have walked out in a dispute aboutjobs, pay, and conditions. helena wilkinson is in windsor for us now. for those passengers arriving here from waterloo station there are trains every 15 minutes, good news for people arriving but really difficult picture —— different picture once again. many passengers. one in five services are running today and for those heading to seaside destinations like bournemouth and blackpool there are

no services running. no services running in cornwall either. there are still no sign of any breakthrough in this deal and earlier the general secretary of the rmt mick lynch told the bbc the want network rail to guarantee they will not be any redundancies. they think, and i believe that they could make that guarantee, but somebody is stopping them from doing that at this moment. i suspect that's the politicians. so if they put that on the table, that we can give you a guarantee of no compulsory redundancies, we can get on with discussing the changes that they want to make and the adaptations that they believe they need, and then we can move on to a pay deal and we can settle this dispute. network rail say they are disappointed the strike today has gone ahead. they say they remain ready to talk, adding the strikes best week are likely to have cost the rail industry up to £150 million. —— they added that the

strikes this week. a 42—year—old man has been charged with murder, attempted murder and terrorist acts after a shooting at a gay nightclub in the norwegian capital of oslo. two people were killed and 21 injured in the overnight attack on a busy nightlife district. three locations were targeted. oslo's annual pride parade was due to be held today, but has been cancelled following police advice. abortion clinics are closing in more than a dozen republican—controlled us states, after yesterday's supreme court ruling which overturned the constitutional right to abortion. religious groups have been celebrating, while supporters of abortion rights have been protesting. frances read reports. protest from kentucky to massachusetts. the decision to overturn roe v wade is seismic. pro—choice demonstrators say they are horrified that millions will lose their legal right to abortion.

but others celebrate. anti—abortion activists gathered outside america's supreme court, happy to see the back of a legal precedent that had been in place for 50 years. we were called for this moment. and this is a heavy responsibility, to make abortion unthinkable and illegal throughout our nation. to ensure no woman stands alone in a post—roe america, to be the post—roe generation! cheering. elizabeth made the decision to terminate a pregnancy after finding out her twins wouldn't survive outside the womb. she later had another abortion when the pregnancy put her life at risk. the reality of it actually being overturned and seeing a number of states already where, as of this minute, abortion access is denied and illegal, i feel pretty numb and pretty angry about that and, truly,

i feel a little bit helpless. while some states say they will keep full abortion rights, 13 have trigger laws which mean nearly all abortions are now instantly banned. although, the vast majority would allow abortions if the mother's life is at risk. others are expected to either introduce new restrictions or resurrect pre—roe bans. and in states where opinions on abortions are closely split, the legality of the procedure could be determined on an election by election basis or via legal battles. critics of the decision say it's an injustice and, without plans to support those who are pregnant, will impact the poorest in society in a country, that, for the most part, has no universal health care or paid family leave. the harm is endless. what this means to women is such an insult. it's a slap in the face to women

about using their own judgment, to make their own decisions about their reproductive freedom. singing. # jesus loves the little children...# _ but, within the us, this is only the beginning, and while some worry more rights could be rolled back, others feeljustice has finally been served. francis reed, bbc news. the taliban's health minister has told the bbc that afghanistan urgently needs international support to deal with the aftermath of the earthquake that's killed more than a thousand people. hospitals which were in near collapse since the foreign funding which ran them was frozen, are struggling to treat the injured. from paktika province, the bbc�*s south asia correspondent yogita limaye reports. for people in afghanistan, pain is unrelenting. war, hunger and now an earthquake.

eight—year—old shakrina was rescued with injuries to her leg when her house collapsed. her elder sister died. in the next bed, their mother, meera. "we were under the debris until the morning, when some people pulled us out. they took us to a nearby clinic. i asked them, "where is my daughter?" they told me she had died," she said. "we are poor people. we have debts and now we've lost everything." bibi havar lost 18 members of herfamily. three of her sons were among them. both she and her daughter have multiple fractures. "my heart is in pain. when i go back from here,

my children won't be there. it makes me so sad." on the day after the earthquake, 75 patients were brought here — more than the capacity of the hospital that was already struggling to treat regular illnesses. stretched even before the earthquake hit, they're trying to do their best here, but even this main provincial hospital doesn't have the equipment to treat critical patients, so those who had injuries to their spine or their brain, they've had to send them to other facilities, which means people who have already spent hours travelling to this hospital then had to make another long journey to get any treatment at all. i asked the taliban's health minister whether they had got the international support they'd been asking for. we have received some humanitarian aid and assistance from the neighbouring countries like iran, pakistan, india and some of the arab countries.

so are waiting for our partners and different countries around the world to when and how they can provide humanitarian aid and assistance. but many would argue that the taliban has not lived up to its commitments on human rights or women's rights. how can the world then recognise this government, and in situations like this directly offer you assistance or money? i think there is some miscommunication between the international partners, they still cannot understand the people, and some statements of the taliban. ordinary afghans are caught in the politics. this labourer is trying to cope with the grief of losing his wife and a fear of the future. "my family and i worked so hard to make our house, now it's gone," he said. "we will never be able

to rebuild it without help." yogita limaye, bbc news. that's it for now. the next news on bbc one is at 6:05pm. bye for now. hello. you're watching the bbc news channel with lukwesa burak. the foreign secretary liz truss has been defending borisjohnson after the tory by—election losses in tiverton and honiton and wakefield, saying she has confidence in the prime minister. she's been speaking to out deputy africa editor anne soy at the commonwealth heads of government meeting in the rwandan capital kigali. heads of government from across the government have been meeting here and i am nowjoined by the foreign

secretary. just talking about the politics in the uk at the moment, do you still have confidence in the prime minister? is he the right person to lead? i prime minister? is he the right person to lead?— prime minister? is he the right person to lead? i have absolute confidence _ person to lead? i have absolute confidence in _ person to lead? i have absolute confidence in the _ person to lead? i have absolute confidence in the prime - person to lead? i have absolute l confidence in the prime minister. person to lead? i have absolute - confidence in the prime minister. he is doing a fantasticjob. he has lead on delivering on breaks it, helping britain recoverfrom covid, we were the first country to fully develop a vaccine and get it rolled out and now he is doing a brilliant job of supporting ukraine in the appalling war against russia. find appalling war against russia. and the conservatives have just lost to important by—elections. should he be considering his position? important by-elections. should he be considering his position?— considering his position? incumbent governments _ considering his position? incumbent governments do _ considering his position? incumbent governments do tend _ considering his position? incumbent governments do tend to _ considering his position? incumbent governments do tend to lose - governments do tend to lose by—elections. that's not a predictor of the future. what we're making sure is that we're getting the economy going, we're helping the economy going, we're helping the economy grow so people have more opportunities, morejobs and

economy grow so people have more opportunities, more jobs and their future and that is what will help us secure the next election. the migrants _ secure the next election. the migrants deal _ secure the next election. the migrants deal which has been signed between the uk and the rwandan government has come under a lot of scrutiny. even here in rwanda and your government has said that it remains undeterred. and will continue with this but there have been criticisms in a tear in rwanda, the record of the rwandan government is not great on human rights, and democracy. some reports from the british government have also raised questions about media freedom and democracy here. does that change now? ~ . , democracy here. does that change now? ~ ., , ., now? well, we are very determined to follow through — now? well, we are very determined to follow through on _ now? well, we are very determined to follow through on this _ now? well, we are very determined to follow through on this migration - follow through on this migration partnership. it is very important we break the business model of these appalling people traffickers who are putting peoples lives at risk, particularly in the english channel. in this partnership that we have developed with rwanda benefits both countries working very closely together and i am having very good

discussions with everyone and foreign minister about how we can continue to develop the partnership between our two nations. can continue to develop the partnership between our two nations.— between our two nations. can you confirm if children _ between our two nations. can you confirm if children will— between our two nations. can you confirm if children will be - between our two nations. can you confirm if children will be among l confirm if children will be among those asylum seekers to be sent to it i can confirm that there will be no unaccompanied children as part of this arrangement. and, in fact, it will be 90% adult men who are part of this arrangement. and you have been speaking to other foreign ministers here at the commonwealth heads of government meeting. yesterday, prime minister did speak about russia and the impact of the war on the prices of food. in your conversations with other foreign ministers, what are they saying? many of them have been lukewarm or even sitting on the fence on this issue. ~ , ., ., , . ., issue. well, we put out a very clear statement — issue. well, we put out a very clear statement today _ issue. well, we put out a very clear statement today as _ issue. well, we put out a very clear statement today as the _ issue. well, we put out a very clear - statement today as the commonwealth about the importance of sovereignty and self—determination regarding the situation in ukraine. and more generally, then that is why the

commonwealth are so important. it is a bulwark against authoritarianism, it is 54 a bulwark against authoritarianism, it is 5a member states who believe in sovereignty and believe in self—determination and we are very determined to work with all of our commonwealth partners to have closer economic ties, closer to the security ties, to keep us all say. talking of the commonwealth, it is also about values and questions have been raised about whether some of the members uphold those values including those who have applied to join and who have admitted in this meeting to the organisation that it is not the best example of democracy, for instance, there are questions that have been raised about four and as well. how important, still, ithose about four and as well. how important, still, i those values? those values are important the commonwealth is committed to democracy, it is committed to sovereignty and self—determination and this is why i think it is such and this is why i think it is such an important force in the world at present. we are seeing authoritarian regimes like russia and its appalling invasion of ukraine. this

is why we do need to build this network that is the commonwealth to protect those values we believe in. thank you very much. this meeting is coming to an end today. expect the closing later in the evening. and the heads of government here have been meeting. there have been various interest groups that have been meeting as well and we, the meeting will close later in the evening. abortion clinics are closing in more than a dozen republican—controlled us states, after yesterday's supreme court ruling which overturned the constitutional right to abortion. religious groups have been celebrating, while supporters of abortion rights have been protesting. so what can history tell us about this major shift? to discuss this i'm joined by dr prudence flowers, a historian and senior lecturer at flinders university. thank you forjoining us here. i was

just having a look at your twitter feed very quickly and there was an interesting retweet that you put there. and, basically, it was alluding to the fact that there are many people who are anti—abortion who say that there is an agreement that abortion rights are provisional around the world. what does that mean? i around the world. what does that mean? ~ . , around the world. what does that mean? ~ ., , ., , around the world. what does that mean? ~' ., , ., , ., mean? i think what they mean is that at any moment _ mean? i think what they mean is that at any moment abortion _ mean? i think what they mean is that at any moment abortion rights - mean? i think what they mean is that at any moment abortion rights can i mean? i think what they mean is that at any moment abortion rights can be turned back so, for example, they would argue that, although there has been a kind of global trend in the western and industrialised world towards abortion and liberalisation, abortion legalisation, that that is not an inherent human right, that it is a provisional right and that, at any moment, can be reversed and people can kind of come to their senses and turn it back. so what does what _ senses and turn it back. so what does what happened _ senses and turn it back. so what does what happened in - senses and turn it back. so what does what happened in the - senses and turn it back. so what does what happened in the us i senses and turn it back. so what - does what happened in the us signal to you, then? i does what happened in the us signal to you. then?—

to you, then? i think it signals the incredible power— to you, then? i think it signals the incredible power of _ to you, then? i think it signals the incredible power of grassroots - incredible power of grassroots activists who formed political alliances. so this moment has been decades in the making. the anti—abortion movement has been through a very tight alliance with the republican party, has been kind of working towards this release and the late 19705, early 19805. they've had multiple setback5. rove has been upheld over and over again. reaffirmed by the supreme court. but they continued and they continued to strategise at a state level to road and chip away at what we see here is that that has been successful but something, right that has been 49 years, the people have taken for granted has now been reversed and there is no foreseeable way in which this can be addressed at a national level. ., . , ., ., level. politics of gender. i mean, this is what _ level. politics of gender. i mean, this is what witnessing, - level. politics of gender. i mean, this is what witnessing, isn't - level. politics of gender. i mean, this is what witnessing, isn't it? | level. politics of gender. i mean, this is what witnessing, isn't it? i mean, to be fair, people who oppose abortion will often argue that they, too, support the rights of women

said they reject the idea that they are hostile to women's rights but it is worth noting that many of the kind of laws that are suddenly being introduced in these republican—controlled legislations are pretty shocking to contemporary mines. not only do they ban abortion but they ban abortion even in kind of instances of rape and incest. even in instances where most people feel that a woman pregnant person should be able to make a choice about continuing the pregnancy. now that they've got the opportunity to ban abortion what we are seeing are really kind of draconian laws being introduced. louisiana, there was debate about, you know, one politician claimed that even abortion in cases of ectopic pregnancy should not be allowed. and if an ectopic pregnancy is not treated, it results in the death of the pregnant person who has a right

to life, and others are been discussing whether it is inevitable that people seeking abortion to be charged with homicide foot of that is what we're now seeing at the state level so on one hand, you have a movement that claims to quote on quote love them both. but practice, what we are seeing is laws that are extremely punitive and with no kind of social safety net being proposed that would actually support people forced to carry unwanted pregnancies to term. i’m forced to carry unwanted pregnancies to term. �* ., ., ., ,, ., to term. i'm going to take that examle to term. i'm going to take that example you — to term. i'm going to take that example you gave _ to term. i'm going to take that example you gave the - to term. i'm going to take that example you gave the ectopicl example you gave the ectopic pregnancy for top a lot of women, partners who are involved with the pregnancy will know that it is a real risk to life for a woman. if that does happen, are we likely to see more legal action taken against states from individuals or partners of individuals who suffer or lose their lives because of not being given the proper care or access to an abortion which would have saved a life? is not likely to take place in the us? 4'

life? is not likely to take place in the us? ~ ., , ., , the us? think that is actually, sadl , the us? think that is actually, sadly. highly _ the us? think that is actually, sadly, highly unlikely - the us? think that is actually, sadly, highly unlikely to - the us? think that is actually, i sadly, highly unlikely to happen. what we are seeing happen all of ads that some religious groups who have a different stance on abortion have launched lawsuits arguing that freedom of religion is being violated, which is a first amendment right. so for example, florida, the jewish synagogue has filed a lawsuit against the state of florida's abortion ban claiming it is a violation of the free expression of religion so, in the short—term, think they are much the more likely to see kind of challenges making through the courts that try to invoke the constitutional rights to kind of protect access to abortion. how do you see what has taken place with the supreme court through history? obviously, the legacy of donald trump is he installed, this is his legacy was the pm sold three justices. you said that republicans have been working at this. they have been chipping away at this for a long time now. the supreme court,

how it looks, and this moment in history, what is your assessment of that to your research?— that to your research? well, again, althou . h that to your research? well, again, although we _ that to your research? well, again, although we will— that to your research? well, again, although we will always _ that to your research? well, again, although we will always associate l although we will always associate this moment with donald trump at think this would be important to reiterate that every republican president since 1980 has promised to appointjurors to the supreme court who will overturn very the weight foot of every republican candidate for the presidency has made that promise. including people like mitt romney orjohn mccain who had a kind of less career backordered in favour of less career backordered in favour of the pro—life side so republican since 1980 have been committed to this very moment. in terms of what it means, i think, on the one hand, the decision that was handed down talked quite a lot about how overturning roe did notjeopardise the legacy of the supreme court because roe was erroneously or egregious the decided and then pointed to some other high—profile moments when the supreme court had struck down its own precedent. but i

think the problem here is that the justices who have aligned to strike down road are so closely associated both with the republican party and with the very, very conservative jurisprudence known as a regionalism which is supported by groups like the federalist society but it is very hard to view these justices as neutral interpreters of law. i think, for good or ill, the public believe use the justices that are currently on the supreme court is essentially political actors which goes against how the court is meant to function in american life. the supreme court is meant to be part of the checks and balances, they are meant to be independent actors, that is why they are so far life, so the they are not beholden to any one politician in the state, what people see now, is that the court is a partisan arm of, at the moment, the republican party. and i think it is

quite striking that, you know, last ten or 15 years, even as confidence in things that congress has declined in things that congress has declined in confidence in the president has declined, until quite recently confidence in the supreme court had remained relatively high and now most americans do not view the supreme court has a kind of neutral actor. there has been a real change in public opinion and confidence and trust in this branch of government. it will be investing to see what happens next. thank you very much for that. thank you. explorers have found the deepest shipwreck ever identified, a us navy destroyer escort sunk during the second world war. the navy destroyer uss samuel b roberts, better known as sammy b, went down in the philippine sea in 19114. the wreck was found four and a half miles under the surface. two of pakistan's biggest film stars say they are hoping their film industry, popularly known as lollywood, springs back after the coronovarus pandemic. huma—yun saeed and kubra khan
