shattering a record that had stood for 3h years, and there was no hiding the sheer elation of richard branson and his crew. this is bbc news. the latest headlines: president zelensky is to address leaders of the g7, asking them to do more to help ukraine resist the russian invasion. at least four people are killed after a wooden grandstand collapses at a bullfighting festival in colombia. the earthquake in afghanistan, which killed more than 1,000 people last week, struck in some of the country's most remote areas. the bbc has found that deep in the mountains of the worst—affected paktika province. there are villages where there's severe destruction, but no aid has reached them so far. our south asia correspondent yogita limaye is there.
5:15 am
we've travelled several hours on a mountainous and extremely bumpy road to come to the village of dwegur in south—east afghanistan. we're very close to the border with pakistan, and this village has faced a lot of destruction because of the earthquake. i'm going to show you some of it. you can see the cracks in this wall, and that's pretty much the condition of every structural wall that is still standing in this village. and here you can see a home that's been completely destroyed. and further down, there are several other such homes that we've seen. here, four of a family were killed when the earthquake struck. many people were injured. some of them are now in hospital. we've been told by the people here that they've been experiencing tremors several times a day, every day, so they are very scared. they are staying in tents at the base of this village. they've also told us that they've receive no aid, no relief material from either the government or humanitarian agencies.
5:16 am
on our way here, we did pass quite a few trucks that were carrying supplies and relief material, but they stopped about one hour away. no—one has made the journey up to here. if you look at the mountains there, to my right, it's beyond those mountains, not very far from here, that the epicentre of the earthquake was. and we've been told by the villagers here that, scattered across this mountainside, there are several such hamlets and villages where there's been destruction, where there have been deaths because of the earthquake. they say no aid, no relief has reached there so far. it is quite clear that afghanistan is in need of a lot of support, notjust in terms of food supplies or relief material but also in terms of the means to reach these remote, far—flung areas. so, whether it's experienced disaster response teams or whether it's more air power, the taliban government here does not have any of that, and countries around the world are not sending it in because they do not

recognise the people who run this land. you get along my with the latest on afghanistan. —— yogita malaye with the latest on afghanistan. a bbc investigation has exposed a human trafficking network smuggling disabled children from tanzania to kenya. many are taken from their parents with the promise of a better life. instead, the children are forced to beg on the streets, often for years, while their captors take all of the profits. bbc africa eye helped one victim escape. njeri mwangi reports from nairobi. for more than a year, i've been investigating the cruel trade in disabled beggars from tanzania to kenya. on the streets of nairobi, there are hundreds of disabled children begging. i soon realised many of them are being watched. this boy makes eye contact with his minder and, within seconds,
5:18 am
he's taken away. oh, my gosh! i met dozens of beggars during my investigation. their stories were heartbreaking. this is fara. when i met him, he had been enslaved by traffickers for almost half his life. he was making the equivalent of 6000 us dollars a year, but his captors took it all. he told me the traffickers cut off all contact with his family. we staked out the area where fara and others like him were being held. oh, my goodness. this is another one. in just 15 minutes, we saw dozens of kids being sent off to beg. since last year, the numbers have increased, and especially in nairobi. and you see them — they are all over. they're so vulnerable, exposing them to every danger out of there. and the way they are
5:19 am
kept, it's inhumane. i wanted to know what the families in tanzania had been told. i travelled there and met journalist florence majani. she told me traffickers target the poorest families, promising their children a better life. most of them are living in the poor, poor, poor, poor regions. and then comes this chance of — some other people are taking them from tanzania to nairobi. they think their children are supported, they will come back one day with money. but the reality is very different. florence introduced me to a family who gave their disabled child up to traffickers back in 2017. kuro was nine years old and hasn't been seen since. it'as taken a terrible toll on her mother. all comfort woman. back in nairobi, fara eventually told us that he gets regularly beaten by his
5:20 am
captors if he doesn't make enough money. we immediately alerted nairobi police. officers launched a series of raids. in one property, they found a young child and five people held in a windowless room. two men were arrested and charged with human trafficking. they deny the allegations. fara was finally free. i told him not to be afraid. a few months later, fara is being supported in a care home until he can return to his family. njeri mwangi, bbc news. if you want to see more of that africa eye investigation, you can find the full film on the bbc news africa youtube page. let's get the day's sport now

from the bbc sport centre. if you are a wimbledon fan, this is your week. hello, i'm gavin ramjaun and this is your update from the bbc sport centre. we start with golf. in—gee chun won the women's pga championship in maryland but it was the implosion of american lexi thompson that led chun to her third major win. thompson, who hadn't won in 50 lpga starts, led on the back nine but bogeyed two of her final three holes, missing for birdie on the 18th to sign for a 73. and south korea's chun, who topped the leaderboard after each round, recovered from her shaky start to seal par on the last, winning by one shot ahead of thompson and minjee lee of australia, on 5—under for the tournament. the victory for the world number 33 adds to her us women's open and evian championship crowns. the wimbledon tennis championships begin on monday and while there've been five different female champions in the past five tournaments, novak djokovic is going for his fourth men's title in a row.
5:22 am
he starts his defence against south korea's soo—woo kwon. djokovic is the top seed in the men's draw as the world number one, daniil medvedev, is missing — that's because of the all england club's ban on russian and belarusian players, and the tournament has been stripped of ranking points because of their stance. i cannot say i fully agree to ban russian tennis players or belarusian tennis players from competing indefinitely. ijust competing indefinitely. i just don't competing indefinitely. ijust don't see how they have contributed to anything that's really happened. it'sjust, i don't feel it's fair. i feel like they deserved to win, they deserve to compete. they are professional athletes. england's cricketers need 113 more runs on the final day to win the third and final test at headingley. they'll resume on monday against new zealand, hoping to complete a series whitewash. they'll be looking for ollie pope and joe root, who both made half centuries, and have jack leach to thank too, with his 5—wicket hauls in both innings.
5:23 am
it is special, obviously, yeah. it is special, obviously, yeah. i don't think it's really sunk in but yeah, ijust i don't think it's really sunk in but yeah, i just wanted i don't think it's really sunk in but yeah, ijust wanted to be part of a winning performance. there's also a women's test match that starts on monday. england facing an injury—hit south africa side. only a handful of the visiting team have played test cricket and it's 19 years since the two sides faced each other in this format, that was also at taunton. i think they'll be excited and i think they'll be excited and i think they'll be excited and i think speaking to some of the girls in various competitions, they are really excited to have this in the calendar, to have the chance to play the most exciting, in my view, the most challenging format of the game. you can get all the latest sports news at our website — that's bbc.com/sport. but from me, gavin ramjuan, and the rest of the sport team, we'll see you next time. we will indeed and just to say the business of wimbledon and its sponsors is something we will be unpacking later in this programme. this year's glastonbury festival closed with

5:26 am
cousin back in '94! that is glastonbury, all of the top business stories right here, next. hello. even with the weekend's rain in the west, it's been a rather dry month so far across most parts of the country but if i show you the rainfall animation for this week, notice how it mounts up across these western areas, the colours deepening. it's here where we could see anything between 40—80mm of rain, more especially around the hills and the coast. some eastern areas where, so far thisjune, we've seen onlyjust over a quarter of our normal rainfall, not a huge amount is expected at all, although there's still a chance we could see a bit more towards the south—east corner through the middle part of the week. the reason — well, areas of low pressure are going to come in off the atlantic and then stall before working northwards, as this one did from sunday, leaving a trailing weather front to take us into monday, which will produce sunshine and showers working their way eastwards, but much lighter winds than we saw through the weekend. so, this is how we start the day — the commuting temperature somewhere between 11—13 degrees, not desperately cold out there,
5:27 am
but a line of cloud and showery rain western england, eastern wales to begin with, maybe just in the south—east of scotland, too, that trundles its way eastwards through the day, fragmenting even more, but it does mean sunnier skies develop in its wake. just a few showers dotted around — not as many as we saw on the weekend — so western areas much, much brighter compared with sunday, though winds not as strong. still a noticeable breeze, though, coming infrom the south—west and it's a slightly cooler direction for some of you compared with what we saw through the weekend, especially in the east of the country. but actually, with more sunshine, lighterwinds in the west, it should feel a touch warmer. temperatures 17—21 — around where we should be. early peak in the pollen levels in east anglia, the south—east and then a later peak in the west and, of course, monday sees the start of wimbledon. cloudy skies to begin with, brightening up. could just see a few spots of rain around lunchtime but mostly dry for the bulk of the day. and dry into the evening and overnight, too, across eastern areas but the next batch of wet and windy weather pushes in through northern ireland
5:28 am
and towards the west, keeping temperatures here in teens for one or two, but a chillier night to the eastern half of the country — 5—6 degrees in rural areas to start tuesday. so, this is the next area of low pressure for tuesday, coming off the atlantic and stalling. the winds blowing up the weatherfront, so it doesn't move a great deal. it will clear away from northern ireland during the morning but will linger across parts of central south—western scotland, wales and push into the western fringes of england. brighter skies in the west later. always dry and brighter through central eastern england, where it will be a bit warmer — 2a degrees the potential high. overall, though, temperatures around average for the time of year. more rain in the north and west, driest in the south and east.
