this is bbc news. i'm tim willcox. the headlines at 8:00pm: a crowded shopping centre in central ukraine has been hit by a russian missile. officials say at least 10 are dead and more than a0 injured. the attack came shortly after the ukrainian president appealed to world leaders at the g7 summit for missile defence systems to protect more ukrainian cities. sometimes the price of freedom is worth paying and just remember. it took the democracies in the middle of the last century a long time to recognise that they had to resist tyranny and aggression. former prime minister sirjohn major is criticised after telling a public inquiry that victims given infected

blood in the 70s and 80s had suffered "incredibly bad luck". a man's been arrested on suspicion of murdering 36—year—old zara aleena — attacked while walking in east london on sunday. mps will vote later on plans to give the government powers to scrap post—brexit trade arrangements for northern ireland. the eu says it's a breach of international law. at wimbledon, british number one emma raducanu is through to the second round — with a victory in straight sets in her debut on centre court. good evening and welcome to bbc news. russia has carried out a missile strike on a shopping centre in the central ukrainian city of kremenchuk. at least 10 people have been killed

and a0 others injured. president zelensky said more than a thousand people had been inside at the time of the attack. joe inwood has sent this report — a warning it contains some details you may find distressing. there is no part of ukraine untouched by this war. just before 4pm in the afternoon russian missiles are said to have hit a shopping centre in kremenchuk. the ukrainians say around 1,000 people may have been inside. this industrial city on the banks of the dnipro river has been targeted before, but not like this. "is anybody alive, anybody alive?" a man calls out. "where? come here!" people nearby rushed to help, but there was panic at the scale of the destruction. the injured were rushed to hospital. one of those nearby

was vadym yudenko. i was not far away from the place where it happened, some 500 metres away, and people were running around. and after about 30 minutes, i decided to go and check out the place. the centre was just destroyed. i'm just, i'm out of words. i did not expect that something like this could happen in my town. ukraine's president zelensky was quick to condemn the attack. "it was no danger to the russian army," he said. "it had no strategic value. it was just people trying to live a normal life, which so angers the russian occupiers. " moscow is yet to comment on the attack but has always denied targeting civilians. the death toll is expected to rise. another example of the human cost of a war that shows no sign of ending. joe inwood, bbc news, kyiv.

well, to discuss this further i'm nowjoined by 0rysia lutsevych. she is the head and research fellow, of the ukraine forum, russia and eurasia programme at chatham house. thank you forjoining us. the timing of this, presumably, to coincide with the g7 talks and that announcement byjoe biden of a sophisticated missile defence system for ukraine. ., �* ., , , for ukraine. you're absolutely riuht. i for ukraine. you're absolutely right. ithink_ for ukraine. you're absolutely right. i think putin _ for ukraine. you're absolutely right. i think putin is - for ukraine. you're absolutely right. i think putin is here - for ukraine. you're absolutely right. i think putin is here to i right. i think putin is here to escalate, to send a very clear message that he is prepared to go far and pay message that he is prepared to go farand pay any message that he is prepared to go far and pay any price including committing war crimes targeting civilian infrastructure as he has done throughout this work. but then again, we have had a very resolute message coming from the g7 that it is prepared to provide infinite support to ukraine to be in the best position possible at the moment when

possible negotiation may take place to end this war. but we are nowhere near there. to end this war. but we are nowhere near there-— near there. explain for our viewers, how important. _ near there. explain for our viewers, how important, strategically, - how important, strategically, is this? is it a big industrial centre in ukraine?— in ukraine? registered in your reporting. _ in ukraine? registered in your reporting. it — in ukraine? registered in your reporting, it was _ in ukraine? registered in your reporting, it was already - in ukraine? registered in your i reporting, it was already targeted before. it had one of the major oil refineries that has already been destroyed but it is a city positioned between the capital and the river, it does not have strategic position other than if we imagine putin would like to take control of all of the left bank of ukraine and to split ukraine into two halves trying to control its territory all the way up to the river. we don't know his war plans. he has said he wants to cut off ukraine from the black sea but all of ukraine is targeted, as we have seen. it is all out aggression. going back to the missile defence systems promise by the west. some

commanders have been saying that they have been told to wait until august until delivery of the sophisticated systems. how much of a game changer are these going to be? i'm just thinking about what prison biden has promised. 72 individual, they can account 72 incoming targets. this is a system used to defend the white house so how significant are these systems? you are quite significant because of their capabilities, because their position, because of their mobility and this is exactly what ukraine asked be able to defend the territory and also mount a counter offensive from cities and putin is clearly escalating because of that particular armaments supply to up the game and we see this, his visit to belarus and possible pressure on

belarus to come into the war, to open the northern front, to challenge kyiv to put more pressure to actually achieve some kind of concessions. that does not appear to be any immediate short—term end to this conflict may be not even the mid—term either. if this drags into winter, to his advantage would that be? it winter, to his advantage would that be? , ., winter, to his advantage would that be? , .

technological ban will really have a hard time to vrm its forces and also look today in russia is defaulting on its debt. this is a significant blow to russian economy. i5 on its debt. this is a significant blow to russian economy. is that true? this _ blow to russian economy. is that true? this is more symbolic, - blow to russian economy. is that| true? this is more symbolic, isn't it, in terms of reneging on its debt? , u, ., it, in terms of reneging on its debt? , ., , . , debt? they cannot service their debt because of western _ debt? they cannot service their debt because of western sanctions - debt? they cannot service their debt because of western sanctions and i because of western sanctions and sanctions don't make theyr because of western sanctions and sanctions don't mak- sanctions don't make they can service the — sanctions don't make they can service the debt if _ sanctions don't make they can service the debt if they - sanctions don't make they can service the debt if they are . sanctions don't make they can - service the debt if they are allowed to pay in roubles. {iii service the debt if they are allowed to pay in roubles.— to pay in roubles. of course, they cannot pay _ to pay in roubles. of course, they cannot pay in _ to pay in roubles. of course, they cannot pay in roubles. _ to pay in roubles. of course, they cannot pay in roubles. there - to pay in roubles. of course, they cannot pay in roubles. there are i cannot pay in roubles. there are certain conditions of entry on the financial markets and russia knows that it pays the price of a default because of its aggression and this is very clear. of course they are trying to manipulate with this propaganda, but they knew that this

and i totally support that. and so i think the difficulty is that no one here at the g7 can really see any alternative to simply supporting them in regaining their sovereignty. and if that goes on for years and years and years potentially, at vast cost to our country, to our taxpayers, with implications for our economy, so be it, that's what the uk has to do? i think the economic impacts on the uk will start to abate, we will find ways round things and some of the cost pressures will start to come down. so there is no limit on the timeline, there is no limit on the budget, the billions that britain could spend? i think sometimes the price of freedom is worth paying. just remember, it took the democracies in the middle of the last century a long time to recognise that they had to resist tyranny and aggression. but what it bought in the end, with the defeat of the dictators, particularly of nazi germany,

it brought decades and decades of stability, and that is worth protecting. that is worth defending. and that delivers long—term prosperity. but what of the prime minister's own future? the clouds have darkened for him after that vote of confidence, the loss of another two by—elections and the resignation of his party chairman. what is it about your character that is repelling voters at the moment and repelling so many of your mps? look, i think that the golden rule of politics is resist comment on politics or personalise it. you know that criticism is about your character from plenty on your own side and they want to see some change. how are you going to change and how will you convince people you're going to change? what we are going to do

is get on with our agenda. in times like this of course there are going to be criticisms of political leaders. it's ourjob to take it and humbly accept those criticisms. there is a massive agenda for this country. we need to reform our energy markets, we need to reform the way our housing system works to make the prospect of home ownership realistic for millions and millions of young people. but do you actually have the authority now to deliver that policy agenda? i not only have the authority, i've a new mandate from my party, which i'm absolutely delighted about. 40% of them want rid of you. listen, that's done. it's not done, though. you know it's not done. they're still talking about it. it is still a live question. can you deliver the policy platform you're talikng about with your authority clearly weakened ? of course we can and we're going to continue to do that and we're focused on that 1000%. there is a persistent defiance from the prime minister and a determination to feature in photo opportunities like this for some time yet. chris mason, bbc news, at the g7 summit in bavaria.

among the issues discussed at the g7 was the growing risk to global food supplies caused by the war in ukraine. it comes as farmers there accuse russian forces of stealing vast amounts of grain. ukraine normally supplies 10 % of the world's wheat. 0ur correspondent nick beake has the story. russian forces in ukraine are accused of war crimes, murder and rape. but they're also accused of stealing ukrainian grain on an industrial scale. they destroyed our premises, destroyed our equipment, everything they saw. everything they touch disappears. we tried to contact more than 200 farmers, whose land is now in russian—occupied territory. the vast majority were too scared to talk, but one did agree to be interviewed. to protect his identity we've changed his name and are using an actor. they looted our offices, even pulled the wiring from the walls and took away

the photographs of our relatives. and this was the moment the russians arrived at the farm. you can see their z symbol on the tanks. 0ne soldier tries to shoot the security camera, but misses. thousands of tonnes of grain were then taken and transported in stolen lorries. using its gps tracker, we followed the route of one truck travelling to crimea, which moscow annexed eight years ago, and then on to mainland russia, where it's feared ukrainian grain is being packed up and exported as russian grain. 0n the way the truck stopped here at this grain store, where a new z symbol has appeared on the roof. ukrainian officials fear the russians have stolen as much as 800,000 tonnes of grain since the invasion. it is bringing back memories of the great famine that josef stalin inflicted on this country nearly a century ago. ukraine's flag tells

you all you need to know. a blue sky over a yellow field encapsulates just how important this fertile land is to people. it's the soul of the country. and so the russian occupation, and theft of ukrainian grain, has a profound effect on people here. grain that isn't being robbed is being destroyed. this footage, posted by the ukrainian military, is said to show russian forces blowing up a grain store. moscow denies it is destroying or robbing ukrainian produce. but instead, it claims it's nationalising ukraine's grain. we obtained one document from a russian—installed authority, that says to ensure the food security of the area there's now an order to take the wheat and barley from the warehouse of a company. i think there are so many people in the world now sitting eating a sandwich, not realising that this grain has been stolen and that so many people are suffering. i don't understand why the world is silent and not doing anything

to punish this injustice. the wholesale theft of ukrainian grain threatens to cripple this vital sector of an economy already under such strain. a russian crime targeting individual farmers will be felt by a whole nation, and beyond. nick beake, bbc news, ukraine. and we'll find out how this story, and many others, are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30 this evening in the papers. 0ur guestsjoining me tonight arejournalist and broadcasterjenny kleeman, and christopher hope, the associate editor of politics at the telegraph. the headlines on bbc news. a crowded shopping centre in central

we had, if you look back at these games and we were on the wrong side of the results i still would have walked away from the series being happy and pleased with the way that we have operated. after winning the toss, england reduced south africa to 89 for 5 with debutant issy wong among the wickets. marizanne kapp led the fightback with a stunning knock of 150 — including 26 fours. she was the penultimate wicket of the day — tammy beaumont providing the acrobatics — as the touring side were bowled out for 28a. england will begin their first innings tomorrow morning. rhys mcclenaghan has said he feels a "huge amount of relief" that he and two fellow northern ireland gymnasts will compete at this summer's commonwealth games having been granted special dispensation. mcclenaghan, eamon montgomery and ewan mcateer were last month told that they could not compete in birmingham because they have represented ireland in international competition. the international gymnastics federation has now changed its initial ruling.

the good friday agreement. this bill is both necessary and legal and the government has published a legal statement setting it out. we continue to raise the issues of concern with our european partners but we simply cannot allow this situation to drift. northern ireland has been without a devolved government since february due specifically to the protocol. at a time of major global economic challenges. therefore, it is the duty of this government to act now to enable a plan for a restored local government to begin. it is both legal and necessary. this bill fixes the specific problems that have been caused in northern ireland whilst maintaining those parts of the protocol that are working. nick thomas—symonds, who is the shadow secretary of state for international trade, says the northern ireland protocol is flawed.

well, the foreign secretary, i think, is wrong to say that what the government is doing is necessary and that it government is doing is necessary and thatitis government is doing is necessary and that it is legal. in fact, what the government is doing is overwriting an agreement, an international agreement that the prime minister negotiated, the prime minister fought an election on and that the prime minister has lauded as a great deal and doing that, seeking to override that agreement in this way is simply showing that this is a government that cannot keep its word. it is a government that is posturing politically and does not actually sitting down and doing the hard graft that is necessary to get a solution to the northern ireland protocol issue. the a solution to the northern ireland protocol issue.— protocol issue. the former prime minister called _ protocol issue. the former prime minister called boris _ protocol issue. the former prime minister called boris johnson's i minister called borisjohnson's patriotism into question when she said she would not support his bid to override the northern ireland

not sign up to it because she said it breaches international law. very bad for our reputation abroad because we have always been seen as trustworthy and the reality is we want to sign all sorts of trade deals with other companies like australia, india and the reality is if we can't comply with the deal we signed the eu just a couple of years ago by that other countries trust as ago by that other countries trust as a mapping that is what tourism is getting at. that a mapping that is what tourism is caettin at. �* ., getting at. at the moment neither side is getting _ getting at. at the moment neither side is getting anywhere, - getting at. at the moment neither side is getting anywhere, are - getting at. at the moment neither side is getting anywhere, are we? j side is getting anywhere, are we? and even labour's mp said the eu needed to be less rigid. is there any way through on this? with more negotiation?— negotiation? clearly the uk government _ negotiation? clearly the uk government has _ negotiation? clearly the uk government has been - negotiation? clearly the uk. government has been having difficulty, the eu has perhaps not been as flexible as the uk government expected and there are certainly problems on the ground. there are certain areas like medicines, seed potatoes, like getting pets from northern ireland to gb and db2 northern ireland that

more than a00 people have already said they would be prepared to travel. it's part of a wider drive to cut backlogs in the nhs after the pandemic. saffron cordery is from nhs providers — which represents nhs trusts in england. well, what we will see is the arrangements being made between different hospital trusts in order to make sure that the patients who need that treatment will be supported. so things like travel costs and accommodation costs, so that it's not a barrier for them actually receiving the treatment. and we see that happening already — so it's been an important contribution to bringing down the numbers waiting two years. but i think what we have to remember here also is that, whilst these are really important steps in the right direction, they are not the only measures being taken. preston, who has asked us not to use

post-pandemic is 6.5 million? 6.5 million is the _ post—pandemic is 6.5 million? 15.5; million is the total waiting list, the number of people waiting over two years is in the tens of thousands at the moment. the government has set a target to effectively reduce that to zero. ideally by the end of next month. this is the right way forward. i think eliminating the waitlist in this particular way, but what about people who don't want to travel? i think we should see this, the travel offer as a sign that the nhs is doing absolutely everything they can to try and address this backlog, but realistically, it's probably going to make a fairly small contribution to make a fairly small contribution to cutting down long waits. most patients tend to want to be treated at their local hospital, even if that means waiting longer and other patients, whojust that means waiting longer and other patients, who just can't exercise the option to travel, even if they

more hospital beds for people to recovering. and this is something that we have not yet seen any concerted action to address. the nhs went into the pandemic with over 100,000 vacancies. the uk has some of the lowest numbers of hospital beds, doctors, nurses, relative to our population in europe. we need to invest in growing the nhs workforce and this is something that so far, the government has really dragged its feet on. ~ . ., , . . its feet on. what does that lead to? the lack of — its feet on. what does that lead to? the lack of these _ its feet on. what does that lead to? the lack of these for _ its feet on. what does that lead to? the lack of these for people - its feet on. what does that lead to? the lack of these for people to i its feet on. what does that lead to? | the lack of these for people to come and work on the nhs? i the lack of these for people to come and work on the nhs?— and work on the nhs? i think fundamentally, it _ and work on the nhs? i think fundamentally, it is - and work on the nhs? i think fundamentally, it is about i and work on the nhs? i think- fundamentally, it is about investing and being willing to invest a reasonable amount of money in the longer term. reasonable amount of money in the longerterm. it reasonable amount of money in the longer term. it takes years to train new doctors and nurses. we can look to recruit more staff from overseas. we can look to improve retention rates, but essentially what we are talking about is an expansion of

training places and that is a long term return. but if we really want to get this backlog under control and keep the waiting lists under control for the foreseeable future, there is no escaping the need to invest in having the right number of staff, to deliver the care that the patients rightfully expect. find staff, to deliver the care that the patients rightfully expect. and pay is an important — patients rightfully expect. and pay is an important factor _ patients rightfully expect. and pay is an important factor in _ patients rightfully expect. and pay is an important factor in all- patients rightfully expect. and pay is an important factor in all of- is an important factor in all of this? i don't know if you seen this, but there has been an emotional vote today by bna to take a strike by junior doctors who are wanting a 30% pay increase. junior doctors who are wanting a 30% pay increase-— pay increase. yes, absolutely. the viewers at — pay increase. yes, absolutely. the viewers at home will— pay increase. yes, absolutely. the viewers at home will be _ pay increase. yes, absolutely. the viewers at home will be acutely i viewers at home will be acutely aware that paying the nhs has fallen in real terms since 2010. there will be a call for a more generous pay

the government powers to scrap post—brexit trade arrangements for northern ireland. the eu says it's a breach of international law. south african officials have ruled out a crush as an explanation for the death of 22 teenagers at a nightclub in the city of east london. forensic experts are investigating whether those who died had breathed in or swallowed a poisonous substance. our correspondent nomsa maseko has the latest. this is the scene where 21 teenagers died while attending a birthday party at the weekend. police have cordoned off the area to allow the scene to be combed for more clues. it remains unclear what killed the teenagers. authorities have ruled out a stampede is one of the causes because they say none of the bodies that are found here had visible injuries. a man whose17—year—old

daughter also died here has the bbc that his child snuck out of the house to attend the birthday party with her friends. your daughter or your son is in your house and then they are playing like they are still going to sleep because my daughter was wearing a gown, but underneath the gown, she is wearing black and white dresses, so they must come here. the liquor board said the owners will face criminal charges. it comes to two things, i the first as they children in the premises which is not allowed in terms of the law. _ the second is that the tavern. or establishment did not close at the time that it was supposed to close, there is at the two i issues that are prominent to us at this stage. - meanwhile, here at the morgue, five of the 21 teenagers have

earthquake that struck a couple of days ago, a—5 days ago, and in the provinces in east afghanistan, we have lost more than 1,000 lives, 3,000 injured, and 10,000 homes destroyed. entire lives and livelihoods gone in a matter of seconds. the response from our government has been praised by all corners and we have done whatever is within our capacity, whether it is through cash, assistance, or tins of food, water, orfacilitating the assistance from foreign governments that want to help. human rights are common to afghans, are they not? for girls who are not going to school, for example, it has been over 283 days now that the taliban has imposed a ban on them. that is an incorrect notion. no—one has put a ban on any girl going to school, they are going to primary schools. but not high schools?

they are getting education in universities, in computer courses and language and there is only a technical problem in secondary schools, but even they are open in more than a dozen places so the notion is incorrect and it is a narrative that is being pushed by certain actors for their own personal gains. the government has made a commitment to the rights of education of all citizens of afghanistan irrespective of their gender. when will those girls' schools open? that will be answered by the relevant ministries. i don't have the timeline for it. we have spoken to journalist in the last 2a hours who have been to these areas. onejournalist last 2a hours who have been to these areas. one journalist told last 2a hours who have been to these areas. onejournalist told me last 2a hours who have been to these areas. one journalist told me that a woman with broken bones wasn't able to get assistance because there wasn't a doctor who was female or a nurse and because the taliban was

way to sting for people to arrive. you're trying to misconstrue the report. the report was from channel a, and they said it is the culture of the people and that is what we are trying to tell the world — there are certain restraints within the culture of afghanistan, a different aspect, whether it is good or bad, we can debate that, and in many other settings, but that is the culture that is prevalent in afghanistan. just before we go. criminal barristers in england and wales are taking strike action that's expected to delay trials. the dispute is about how much they're paid in legal aid to defend people who can't afford a lawyer. the government says the walkouts will only delay justice for victims. our home affairs correspondent tom symonds has more. barristers are self—employed. when they are defending suspect, they are usually paid by legal aid, that has been cut in the last ten years. but

of course, barristers are often regarded as well—paid. and according to an independent review, they can earn as little as £9,000 after expenses, and that is when they are onlyjust expenses, and that is when they are only just qualified. expenses, and that is when they are onlyjust qualified. that can increase it up to a5,000 after three years and a bit more, 68 thousand when they have done 23 years on the job, but the big concern is attracting and keeping junior barristers. those on strike are saying they are taking action to prevent the courts from grinding to a halt. how many of you should be in court right now? i a halt. how many of you should be in court right now?— court right now? i am supposed to be in court. court right now? i am supposed to be in court- all — court right now? i am supposed to be in court- all of— court right now? i am supposed to be in court. all of you are _ court right now? i am supposed to be in court. all of you are supposed i court right now? i am supposed to be in court. all of you are supposed to i in court. all of you are supposed to be in court — in court. all of you are supposed to be in court right _ in court. all of you are supposed to be in court right now? _ in court. all of you are supposed to be in court right now? in _ in court. all of you are supposed to be in court right now? in every i be in court right now? in every democracy. — be in court right now? in every democracy. you _ be in court right now? in every democracy, you have - be in court right now? in every democracy, you have to i be in court right now? in every democracy, you have to have . be in court right now? in every| democracy, you have to have a functioning justice system. if we are being — functioning justice system. if we are being treated the way that we are, are being treated the way that we are. there — are being treated the way that we are, there is no one coming through,
