four children. we are trying to find out how many of the deceased might have been children. just a little bit of perspective here for where we are. we are a little more than 150 miles from the texas— mexico border and just a few hundred yards away from interstate 35, a major highway that runs from the border more than 1500 miles north towards canada, 2500 kilometres, and it is a known smuggler�*s route for drugs and for people, so unfortunately, this has happened before in this area. in 2017, ten migrants were found in the back of a lorry who passed away. this is a transportation period and it is very hot right now, temperatures yesterday well over 100 fahrenheit. it will be another warm day here today. and there will be a lot going on for the investigation. hopefully we will learn a little bit more this afternoon.— hopefully we will learn a little bit more this afternoon. victoria. omar, thank ou more this afternoon. victoria. omar, thank you very _ more this afternoon. victoria. omar, thank you very much _ more this afternoon. victoria. omar, thank you very much for _ more this afternoon. victoria. omar, thank you very much for talking - more this afternoon. victoria. omar, thank you very much for talking to i thank you very much for talking to us. western leaders have described russia's missile attack on a busy

shopping centre in central ukraine yesterday as a "war crime". ukrainian officials say at least 18 people were killed and 59 others injured in the attack in the city of kremenchuk, around 80 miles from russian—occupied territory. emergency crews are still searching for survivors. 0ur ukraine correspondent, joe inwood, reports from kyiv. rescue soon turned into recovery. late into the night, firefighters searched through the smouldering wreckage of the complex, reduced to a twisted mass of metal by at least one russian missile. they were searching for bodies, victims of one of the most devastating attacks of the war. it happened just before apm yesterday, a shopping centre engulfed in flames. passers by turned into paramedics. the injured were taken to local hospitals, still in shock at what they had witnessed.

translation: | felt - like i was flying somewhere. i was thrown head first. splinters, shrapnel, something else was hitting me. the whole place was collapsing, exploding.

victoria, i think overwhelmingly they have managed to succeed in using the summit to put on a show of unity. in recent weeks, there have been disagreements over long—term aims. that has all disappeared. the leaders have come here and said, no, we are united, both in terms of more military support to ukraine, in terms of stepping up the sanctions on russia. what was interesting this morning was that when borisjohnson was asked about the attack at kremenchuk over night, he said that these kinds of attacks by vladimir putin's forces are making it easier now for western powers like the g7 to make the case for supporting ukraine. this is what the prime minister said. you could feel the whole mood of the meeting become yet more sombre. i think people are just shocked by what putin is capable of doing, and, you know, if anything, it helped those of us who are making the case for helping to protect the ukrainians, to get that message

across to some of those people who are more swing voters in the argument. they can see that this is utter barbarism. white back some of those countries the prime minister refer to are genuinely suffering as a result of the global financial and food crisis taking place at the moment, so they have agreed today to promise those countries and others in the developing world almost £a billion to help for food and malnutrition at the moment. aid agencies have said it is not nearly enough but it is now at least a recognition by these countries that there is a case to be made, that there are other countries around the world saying western sanctions on russians are causing a problem. the g7 is beginning at least to address that argument. thank you, james. the diplomatic focus has

now moved to madrid, where leaders of the west's military alliance nato are meeting, the response to russia's invasion of its neighbour is a priority. also, turkey's opposition to sweden and finland joining nato will be one of the major issues. 0ur diplomatic correspondent frank gardner is there. what more is nato prepared to do to help ukraine? well, the sense of unity that james landale was referring to there i think is being carried over in madrid into this nato summit that's about to open shortly. beneath that veneer of unity of western unanimity, there are some very serious cracks, the most immediate one being how to resolve the issue of finland and sweden. they both want to join nato. of finland and sweden. they both want tojoin nato. they of finland and sweden. they both want to join nato. they have a lot to offer nato, but turkey, as you mentioned there, is objecting to this, particularly sweden because they say sweden harbours amongst its 100,000 kurdish population of

residents and number of people whom turkey considers to be terrorists, and it wants its views listen to. it said, we don'tjust want words, we want action. nato was hoping to make an announcement at the summit that that this result and that the 30 member alliance is set to become 32. that may still happen but there was a lot of bargaining going on behind the scenes. president biden will almost certainly be meeting president erdogan of turkey to discuss this. the other issue is about the announcement we have heard in the last few hours that nato is going to expand its rapid response force from a0,000 to 300,000. in other words, force from a0,000 to 300,000. in otherwords, placing force from a0,000 to 300,000. in other words, placing more forces on its eastern flanks to deter a russian invasion. the kremlin has already referred to this as being an aggressive act and that nato is an aggressive act and that nato is an aggressive organisation that threatens the security of europe. in other words, throwing nato's words back at it. . ~ other words, throwing nato's words back at it. ., ~ , ., , other words, throwing nato's words back at it. ., ~ i. , . back at it. thank you very much, frank, back at it. thank you very much, frank. from _ back at it. thank you very much,

frank, from madrid. _ back at it. thank you very much, frank, from madrid. sorry - back at it. thank you very much, frank, from madrid. sorry aboutj back at it. thank you very much, - frank, from madrid. sorry about the odd noise on the microphone there. a woman is suing a rape crisis centre in brighton forfailing to provide female—only support meetings and making group sessions trans—inclusive. she's told the bbc she's fighting for women's rights and is bringing a case under the equality act. the charity which runs the service denies it's breaking the law with its trans—inclusive policy. our home affairs correspondent, june kelly, reports.

there was someone in that group that appeared to be male. i assumed this person was trans. i was a bit taken aback. why was it so difficult for you to have somebody in that group i have been raped by a man. i have been sexually abused by men, and ijust don't necessarily trust that men are who they say they are. the charity survivors network, which runs the rape crisis centre in brighton, declined our request for an interview because it said it hadn't yet received details of the legal claim from sarah's lawyers. but in a statement, it told us: we wholeheartedly disagree with any suggestion that we haven't complied

with equalities law for welcoming trans women into our women—only spaces. and we will be vigorously defending the anticipated allegations. the claimant was made aware of survivors network's trans—inclusive position prior to attending the group. sarah denies she is transphobic. i think it's brilliant that they are so openly supportive to the transgender community but, for me, personally, a mixed—sex space doesn't work. i think having one additional group for women who were born female would be the obvious solution. sarah says there are no other single—sex services in brighton. meanwhile, the rape crisis centre says it wants to reassure all survivors that it is still there for them. june kelly, bbc news. ballot papers are being sent to more than 115,000 royal mail workers in a dispute over pay. the communication workers' union has

dismissed the company's pay offer as "totally inadequate". meanwhile, criminal barristers in england and wales are striking for a second day in a dispute is about how much they're paid in legal aid to defend people who can't afford a lawyer. scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, will outline how she intends to hold a second referendum on independence, when she addresses the scottish parliament in the next hour. an independence vote took place back in 201a, but this time, downing street opposes such a move. 0ur correspondent lorna gordon is in edinburgh. if the government at westminster doesn't consent to this, how might nicola sturgeon hold another referendum? well, the gold standard, nicola sturgeon�*s preferred route, is to get a section 30 order which is what happened last time around, back in 2013 which would transfer the powers to hold a referendum temporarily to

edinburgh and holyrood. as you say, that seems unlikely. it is possible, one of the ideas being speculated about in scotland is that she might propose holding a different kind of consultative ballot with a differently worded question, perhaps asking the people of scotland for a mandate to open negotiations with the uk government should a majority vote in favour of another referendum. that would face its own set of challenges, perhaps in the courts, perhaps a boycott by pro—union voters. would it be recognised by the uk government? indeed, would it be recognised by the international community? i think this afternoon, expect a lot of discussion about mandates, nicola sturgeon would argue strongly she has a mandate to hold a second independence referendum as there is a pro—independence majority in holyrood, with the snb and green party in government together —— with the snp. and of course, they both

had in their manifesto commitments to hold a referendum. she says the democratic will of the scottish people should not be denied. but the actual details have been a closely guarded secret and we will find out what they are in about an hour. thank you very much, lorna gordon, there. the time is 1:18pm. our top story this lunchtime: at least a6 people have been found dead in an abandoned lorry in texas, 150 miles from the us—mexican border. and still to come, we see what the latest census results tell us about life in england and wales in 2021. coming up on the bbc news channel, one of the favourites for the men's singles title has withdrawn from wimbledon after testing positive for covid—19. italy's matteo berrettini says the dream is over for this year. how much time have you spent scrolling on your phone so far today? and how many hours will it be

by the time you go bed tonight? the fact that so many of us spend so much time on our mobiles means some are swapping smartphones for so—called "dumb" ones, which have fewer distractions. even the man who helped to invent the very first mobile believes his creation is now out of control. jayne mccubbin has been talking to him. this is what the very first mobile phone looked like. as you can see, its huge. this is martin cooper, the man who helped to invent the very first mobile phone. do you know how many people have a mobile phone right now? and way back when, could you ever have imagined it would be that prolific? of course, jayne, we knew. but one thing we did not anticipate was this powerful computer in your phone because none of those things existed. good afternoon, sir. today, more than 6.5 billion people own a mobile, almost 8a% of the world's population.

but... let's stop and ask, how are we all doing with that? how long do you think you spend on your phone every day? five or six hours. most of the day, to be honest. screen time? i'm going to get caught, now. six hours 25. that's probably average. what are you looking at all day? cats and food. my name is dulcie cowling and i gave up my smartphone because it was too addictive. this is what dulcie did. remember these? she ditched her smartphone and switched to an old—style "dumb phone". iwould recommend it. i think there are nicer things to spend your time. but with the old dumb phone 3g network being switched off in 2033, tech entrepreneurs are updating martin cooper's original idea. my name's kai, - ico—fund a light phone. it is similar to a hammer or a screwdriver, right? i

you use it and then you put it back, it disappears. - i it is not like you use your hammerl and you swipe your hammer for two hours for entertainment. suddenly, social media have just gotten impossible. they have taken over some people's lives. i would guess that i use my mobile phone less than 5% of my time. so what would you say to anybody like myself who are upwards of five hours? do you really spend five hours a day? i would say, jayne, get a life! laughter. jayne mccubbin reporting there. the aviation regulator has ordered heathrow airport to reduce passenger charges, which are paid by airlines then usually passed on to customers in air fares. the average charge per passenger — currently £30.19 — should fall by nearly £a come 2026. heathrow, which wanted the charges raised, said the move

would undermine the delivery of key improvements. a 29—year—old man is being held on suspicion of murdering a woman in east london. zara aleena, who was 35, was attacked while she walked through ilford in the early hours of sunday morning. the met police believe she was the victim of what it called an "opportunist stranger attack". 0ur correspondent, jon donnison, is in ilford. and herfriends have been paying tribute to zara. they have. a lot of people have been coming here this morning to lay flowers and to leave a personal tribute. zahra was discovered with serious head injuries at about 2:a5am on sunday. paramedics attended but they were unable to save her and she died a little later that day in hospital. police, as you say, say that the attack, they

believe, was carried out by a stranger. they don't believe a weapon was involved. there's quite a lot of cctv camera on houses on this road, a busy road, and police are appealing for people with dash cam footage you may have been driving along here in the early hours of the morning to come forward. i have been speaking to some of zahra's friends, a young woman called jasmine, who was laying flowers this morning, who had known herfor many was laying flowers this morning, who had known her for many years. she was amazing. she did not have a bad she was amazing. she did not have a had hone _ she was amazing. she did not have a bad bone in her. she was kind, she was loving. — bad bone in her. she was kind, she was loving, like all her friends and family— was loving, like all her friends and family said. — was loving, like all her friends and family said, a lifeline for her grandma _ family said, a lifeline for her grandma and her mum. she wasjust so innocent, _ grandma and her mum. she wasjust so innocent, so_ grandma and her mum. she wasjust so innocent, so pure. you know, it is 'ust innocent, so pure. you know, it is just a _ innocent, so pure. you know, it is just a shock — innocent, so pure. you know, it is just a shock. 50 innocent, so pure. you know, it is just a shock-— innocent, so pure. you know, it is just a shock. so another murder of a woman in london. _ just a shock. so another murder of a woman in london. it _ just a shock. so another murder of a woman in london. it will— just a shock. so another murder of a woman in london. it will raise - woman in london. it will raise concerns about women's safety. several high—profile cases in recent years like sarah everard and sabina nessa and people save —— police say

their investigation is proceeding at pace. their investigation is proceeding at ace. . ~' their investigation is proceeding at ace. ., ~' y., ., their investigation is proceeding at ace. . ., ., , ghislaine maxwell will be sentenced later for grooming teenagers who were then abused by her ex—partner, paedophilejeffrey epstein. the 60—year—old daughter of the late disgraced media tycoon, robert maxwell, could be jailed for a maximum of 55 years. from new york, nada tawfik reports. the sense of knowing you have spoken your truth is a powerful feeling. annie farmer's distressing testimony helped secure ghislaine maxwell's sex trafficking conviction. 0n the stand, she recounted how maxwell molested and groomed herfor abuse byjeffrey epstein when she was 16 years old. when maxwell is sentenced, annie hopes the judge considers all of those she harmed. these crimes have not only impacted the individuals that experienced them, but also that there is a systemic impact for those people's partners and families and loved ones.

if you think about all the number of people involved in this, the harm that she caused is almost immeasurable. jurors found maxwell guilty on five of the six counts against her in late december. annie and three other women detailed how maxwell was epstein�*s chief enabler, a predator who manipulated the teenagers and then tried to normalise sexual contact under the ruse of a massage. still, in the latest court documents, her lawyers continue to argue that she was being made a scapegoat for epstein. in a bid for a lighter sentence, they wrote, "she had a difficult, traumatic childhood with an overbearing, narcissistic and demanding father. it made her vulnerable to epstein." they also raised concerns about her treatment in prison, writing, "ms maxwell was the target of a credible death threat from a fellow inmate." yeah, it's interesting because i noticed... annie farmer said she was disappointed but not surprised by maxwell's focus on how her own life had been ruined. ifelt, again, that there had been

an opportunity for her to take ownership of what she had done, for her, in some ways, to express remorse to the victims of her crimes. and it was all about her. evidence presented here during this high—profile trial gave the public a glimpse into maxwell and epstein�*s lavish lifestyle and relationship. but many questions remain. how did epstein amass all of his wealth? why did maxwell help him? and will any other accomplices be held accountable? i think that made a difference... david boies represents dozens of epstein�*s accusers, including annie. he said many of his clients are concerned that the justice department will consider the epstein case now closed. this could not have gone on at the scope it went on and for the years that it went on without the cooperation, complicity and collaboration of many people, some of them rich and powerful and politically connected.

whether those people escape justice or not, i think, is one of the unanswered questions. annie says she and the other women are grateful to have got this far in their quest for accountability. after their long and difficult fight to be heard, ghislaine maxwell's sentencing is a significant step towards justice. nada tawfik, bbc news, new york. the population of england and wales has grown by 6% in a decade, according to the results of the 2021 census. the survey, which is carried out every ten years, asks people to answer questions about themselves, their household and their home to build a detailed snapshot of society. our home editor mark easton has been having a look at the results. what do they tell us? well, this tells us, what were you doing on march the 21st last year, a sunday, and we now know, it is very detailed, 97% of people replied,

saying... stats people love it, this is a great day for them so the population of england on that day was 56,a89,800. i think what is interesting about that number is that we had expected it to be a bit higher, the experts had projected the population would be about 57 million by now so 500,000 people have gone missing. the population of wales was the other thing we had today which is now 3,107,500, again, slightly lower than we had expected by about 100,000. if you add in the population of northern ireland, we know that because they had the results a few weeks ago, 1.9 million and our best estimate of scotland's population because their senses is a year later and we will get the results next year, we reckon the best uk total we can estimate for thatis best uk total we can estimate for that is now 67 million, more or less. as i say, the scottish figure is not a census figure so it may be

slightly lower. interesting details, the population of kensington and chelsea appears to have fallen by 10% in the last ten years, westminster by 7%. what is going on? some suspect that the census was held in the middle of the pandemic on a sunday in quite a lot of the wealthier residents of those two very rich borough's in the centre of london were at their second or third homes, which has significant implications forfunding homes, which has significant implications for funding because those local boroughs will get less money because it appears there are fewer people there. wales saw an increase in its population of 1.a%, and the biggest —— the smallest in the north—east was 1.9 and east of england was up 3.8% in a decade and it also has a local authority with the oldest population, north norfolk, where more than a third of people are now over 65.— people are now over 65. thank you for 'oinin: people are now over 65. thank you forjoining us- _ today at wimbledon, raphael adele

and serena williams are among the players do on centre court and laura scott is there for you. hello. we have some big names in action today but i must bring you the news that the eighth seed in the matteo berrettini, last year's runner—up, had to withdraw after testing positive for covid. having recently won the queens title, he was one of the favourites to win the trophy. he said he was heartbroken to have to pull out. but today, we have two greats of the game who we were not sure we would ever see playing here again, raphael adele and serena williams, both in action. —— rafael nadal. at first the most dominant player in tennis right now, iga swiatek, she is on really long winning state but has not played on grass, choosing to take a break since winning the french open. nadal will follow her, having not played at wimbledon since 2019 but has had an extraordinary year despite a foot

injury, winning the australian and french opens. and
