at least 18 were killed and more than 30 are still missing. britain's farmers cutting back on the amount of food they produce as costs soar. u nfortu nately we a re costs soar. unfortunately we are not put enough money at this moment in time to cover or cost of production and every single pig we're selling we are losing in the region of around if not more. emma rather —— emma raducanu is outgunned by garcia. and coming—up on the bbc news channel... rain hampers play on the third day in taunton — but england's women are still in control against south africa in their one off, four day test. good evening and welcome to the bbc�*s news at six. the duke and duchess of cambridge have paid tribute

to dame deborah james they described her as an inspirational and unfalteringly brave woman, whose legacy will live on. charities have also praised dame deborah's work as a cancer campaigner, blogger, and broadcaster. she was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2016. last month she launched the bowel babe fund — to raise money for new treatments and research. tonight almost seven million pounds has been raised. helena wilkinson reports. # i'm singing in the rain...# dame deborahjames faced her cancer diagnosis her own way, determined to keep smiling, despite gruelling treatment. her family have described her as an amazing wife, daughter, sister, mummy. and said even in her most challenging moments, her determination to raise money and awareness was inspiring. hello, and welcome to you, me and the big c... deborah spoke about living with cancer as co—host of a bbc podcast.

so, i was pooing blood, and eventually was diagnosed with a 6.5cm tumour up my bum, basically. and she gave hope to so many others. when i got my third diagnosis in 2019, she was the first person that i called. emma campbell met deborah while they were both campaigning. that passion to raise awareness and spread awareness of early detection of bowel cancer and also to show that, as long as there are options and as long as there is hope, you can continue to find reasons to smile in life. last month, deborah revealed that she was receiving end—of—life care at home. i have a really loving family who... ..i adore. they are just incredible. and, erm... ..all i knew i wanted was to come here and be able to relax, knowing that everything was ok. deborah was later honoured

with a damehood, delivered by prince william. today, the duke and duchess of cambridge said she was inspirational and her legacy will live on. her campaigning has already touched so many. without deborah, without seeing her on the tv three years ago, _ i don't think i would have had the courage to go and pick. the telephone up to talk to the gp. i don't think i would have i realised what the symptoms of bowel cancer were. and i actually don't think i would be here today. i deborah's family have shared some of herfinal thoughts. "find a life worth enjoying, take risks, love deeply, have no regrets and always, always have rebellious hope. and, finally, check your poo — it could just save your life." when deborah left hospital at the beginning of may she was told she had just days to live. but, as ever, she confounded all expecations.

a couple of weeks later she called me to say she wanted to come to the chelsea flower show to see the rose named after her. she couldn't walk by then, but her husband seb made sure she got there and for an hour we drank champagne and laughed. cheers! her family came later that week — her mother heather, constantly at her side during the last few months. beautiful. i know she likes white but she also likes pink. yeah, i have come up speciallyjust to see her rose and it is amazing and it is... iam her rose and it is amazing and it is... i am going to fill my garden with it. deborah wanted to make memories — chelsea was followed by the opera at glyndebourne and then just two

weeks ago a trip to ascot — she won on three horses — i was bouncing off the walls she said. wimbledon and henley were next on her list — but her time finally ran out. she should have had a lot more time. her cancer should have been spotted much sooner. let'sjoin our medical editor, fergus walsh. she was diagnosed at 35 — so very young. there are more than 42,000 new cases of bowel cancer in the uk every year. it is the fourth most common cancer and the second biggest cancer killer. 1 in 15 men and one in 18 women will develop bowel cancer and there are almost 17,000 deaths a year. these are some of the key symptoms, including blood in your poo, a persistent change in bowel habit or unexpected weight loss. most people with these symptoms don't have cancer but it's

important to get them checked out. just over half of all bowel cancer patients will live at least ten years — survival has doubled since the �*70s — but is still below comparable european and international countries. the earlier you are diagnosed, the better the outcome. bowel cancer is curable if caught in the early stages. this is why raising awareness was crucial for debjames. she also was raising money for research into new treatments, in particular trials of personalised, targeted drugs. i'm leading a normal life, doing things that i didn't think i'd do it again. i feel very lucky. richard condie from surrey was diagnosed with bowel cancer seven years ago. it's since spread to his liver. i was told i had about 12 months to go. we've beaten that. in october, he started

on an experimental immunotherapy at the royal marsden hospital. the drug, given as a weekly infusion, directs natural killer cells in his immune system to target the cancer. since then, most of his tumours have shrunk. in a small study, a third of patients on this immunotherapy saw their cancer stabilise. but, as with all new drugs, larger trials are needed to assess its effectiveness. well, we've got thousands of drugs in development. the future looks, i think, good. i've seen amazing transformations in cancer care, and we can cure cancers that were hitherto incurable. we can control cancers that we couldn't control. come on, then. getting old! these new personalised treatments target genetic markers found in some tumours, like richard's, enabling them to distinguish more easily between healthy and cancerous cells. i'm coping very well.

the side effects are minimal. the drugs i had before, chemotherapy, did have some bad side effects in terms of tiredness and suchlike. this is hardly noticeable. he is back to the richard that i knew, years before all of this started. and it's taken the edge off the fact that he has still got it. come on. richard knows that his cancer will eventually get the upper hand. but the four drug trials he's been on have extended his life and helped to discover the cancer treatments of the future. fergus walsh, bbc news, surrey. and you can watch deborahjames: the last dance now on iplayer or on bbc one at 8.30 tomorrow evening. president biden has confirmed plans to significantly extend the us

military presence in europe, telling the nato summit in spain it was because president putin has "shattered peace". the nato secretary general, jens stoltenberg, said the alliance was having its biggest overhaul since the end of the cold war and ukraine could rely on the military alliance "for as long as it takes" in its fight against russia's invasion. the leaders of sweden and finland have thanked borisjohnson for getting behind their efforts tojoin nato. from the summit in madrid, here's our political editor, chris mason. prime minister of united kingdom... 0ne after another they arrived. the leaders of the world's largest military defence alliance marking the moment it is getting bigger. nato sees russia as a significant and direct threat to its security. and its most powerful member is acting accordingly. nato is strong, united, and the steps we're taking during this summit will further

augment our collective strength. to that end, today, i am announcing the united states will enhance our force posture in europe. america is sending more warplanes to the uk and boosting its military presence across europe. british troops are already deployed in estonia, the prime minister likes to repeat the uk has europe's biggest defence budget, and there has been an increase in funding, but critics point out the army is shrinking. and remember, ukraine is not in nato, and so support for it is more indirect, and in the view of this ukrainian mp here, nowhere near enough. we need ten times more help to win this war and to end this war in favour of the whole world as soon as possible. and we need it urgently, because for us, every day means lives, unfortunately, sometimes, hundreds of lives. expect more support for ukraine to be announced before this summit concludes. it's great news for nato...

ukraine's invasion has provoked terror among russia's neighbours, the leaders of finland and sweden have decided to ditch their neutrality, and nato is welcoming them in. the first lesson, really, from today is that if vladimir putin was hoping that he would be getting less nato on his western front as a result of his unprovoked illegal invasion of ukraine, he's been proved completely wrong. he's getting more nato. there is an energy here born of necessity, a collection of countries confronted by an aggressive russia awoken from an era of shriveling defence budgets. there is a real sense here of a dangerous future and a clamour for the money to match. and it's all because of president putin — meeting his own allies today. he's transformed how the west sees itself and its security.

chris mason, bbc news, at the nato summit in madrid. newly released video from ukraine has established that a shopping centre in the city of kremenchuk was hit directly by a russian cruise missile. it comes as the mayor of the port of mykolaiv said at least five people have been killed by a strike on an apartment building. the death toll from monday's strike in the east of the country has risen to at least 18, while more than 30 people are still missing. russia says it doesn't attack civilians and claims the target was an ammunition warehouse. 0ur europe correspondent, nick beake, reports. a warning this piece contains some distressing images. the brute force of russia's strike. a cruise missile fired from a plane hundreds of miles away, plunging towards ukrainian families doing their shopping. 18—year—old daria has been looking for her mum ever since. larissa, a cleaner, was at work

in an electronics shop. translation: i am so composed, not because i don't feel _ anything, but because i need to support my relatives. that's how it is easier for me, but what i feel is emptiness. many more families have been searching in desperation. four days before the strike, shopping centre management told staff it would no longer be evacuated during air raid alerts. there is now a criminal investigation into that decision. it's obvious that many people simply didn't stand a chance. the operation here is now moving to dismantling the remainder of the building. the impact on families here in kremenchuk will be felt for months and years to come. you've got to remember that russia continues to kill civilians across this country.

at least five people were killed this morning in this strike on a residential block in mykolaiv. but from elsewhere in the same southern city, russia was releasing this footage, claiming it had destroyed a training base for foreign fighters. russia says that it doesn't hit civilian targets. russia says it doesn't kill civilians. what do you say to that? translation: i know what the truth is, but i think it won't matter- because this won't return my mother to me, it won't return children to hundreds of other parents. the uk's ministry of defence says it's possible russia's missile was intended to hit another target nearby, but it didn't. and moscow is prepared to live with the consequences. nick beake, bbc news, kremenchuk.

a senior royal source has confirmed that millions of pounds in cash donations were paid to one of prince charles folsom approach charities, but it had not happened since and would not happen again. it came after the sunday times reported prince charles, seen in edinburgh today, was handed about £2.5 million in notes by a former prime minister of qatar, over three separate meetings between 2011 and 2015. clarence house insisted all correct procedures were followed. joining me now is our royal correspondent, sarah campbell. speaker this broke in the sunday times over _ speaker this broke in the sunday times over the _ speaker this broke in the sunday times over the weekend, - speaker this broke in the sunday i times over the weekend, detailing speaker this broke in the sunday . times over the weekend, detailing a cash handover to prince charles from the former prime minister of qatar. according to the report, the prince accepted the cash, some enlarged nominations. it was immediately handed over to the charities, and according to the palace, all of the correct processes were followed. in a briefing today, a senior royal source was asked about the story, in

the days since there has been critical comments about the prince's judgment in receiving the cash. the source said that the prince operates according to advice, and situations aren't context changes over the years, it has not happened in more than half a decade since and would not happen now. that was then, this is now. the subtext is that it might have looked 0k is now. the subtext is that it might have looked ok when these cash donations were offered between 2011-15, but they donations were offered between 2011—15, but they would not look good now. whether that would satisfy critics is one question. it is worth pointing out that there are no rules about donating cash to charities. the charities commission has said it will review it and see if there is any role for the commission in the matter. the time is 6:20. our top story this evening: the duke and duchess of cambridge lead tributes to dame deborahjames the cancer campaigner who has died at the age of a0 still at the age of a0 to come, wide beans no longer means still to come, wide beans no longer means heinz, if you shop at tesco. coming up in sport on bbc news, the latest on day three

at wimbledon, where the defending champion novak djokovic sails into the third round. uk farmers are cutting back on food production as they struggle with soaring costs according to data from national farmers' union seen by the bbc. a third of arable farmers surveyed said they're cutting back on crops like wheat for food because fertiliser has trebled in price. they are planning to use wheat for animal feed they are planning to use wheat for animalfeed because it uses they are planning to use wheat for animal feed because it uses less fertiliser. the nfu says it will make the uk more reliant on foreign imports, at a time when the war in ukraine is causing globalfood shortages. if ukraine is the breadbasket of the world, lincolnshire is the breadbasket of britain. it produces one eighth of the uk's food, but there is a chill wind blowing through the farming industry. rising costs, labour shortages

and pressure from supermarkets is causing a crisis of confidence. we've got this massive shortage from ukraine and russia... andrew ward says a quadrupling of fertiliser prices mean his crop could be down this year. if the fertiliser is so expensive and it is not viable to apply the maximum amount, then the tonnes we get will be less, which means there will be less food. we are only about 65% self—sufficient in the uk at the minute, and that is dropping all the time. and so we need to get more food produced in the uk and not less. and we need to rely less on imports. i have never known it so volatile, so stressful. i get up in the morning and sometimes i wonder why am i doing that? as this graph shows, farmers' costs have risen even faster than food or general prices, which mean something has got to give — prices must rise or some farmers will go bust. livestock farmers are under the same pressures, plus last year thousands of pigs were destroyed thanks to a post—brexit shortage of butchers and abattoir workers. many are now cutting herd sizes.

we sell about 3500 pigs a week... tom allen, in 0xfordshire, says he is losing £30 to £a0 per pig, which means he is downsizing. we've reduced by about a third, the industry as a whole now is getting in for 20, 25% of pig producers stopping producing pigs. quite often mainly independent producers, like myself. what that means is that there will be a shortage of pig meat coming quite quickly. agriculture is facing a lot of challenges. you've got high input prices like feed, fuel, fertiliser. limited ability to pass that on, labour shortages mean it is hard to process some of these products. and that means that farmers are rearing fewer animals and planting fewer crops, which makes the uk more reliant on foreign imports at the worst possible time. this lincolnshire field was very nearly converted into a solar farm, and farmers face often confusing options about how to use their land, with demand for rewilding, biofuels, even housing, competing with food, while eu—era subsidies taper off. the nfu says food should always

be the top priority. the road that we're on is a very uncertain one. i think we have to redefine what we look like outside of the eu. we're an island nation, food security should be treated with that same national interest as defence is, and that needs the right policies in place forfood production for farming businesses to thrive, for consumers to continue to have access to high—quality, affordable food. the government said it recognised the pressure on farmers and had brought forward existing subsidy payments and 10,000 additional migrant worker visas, but if farmers are to survive, food prices look certain to head higher still. simon jack, bbc news. 0ne one of the uk's most popular food brands, heinz, has stopped supplying tesco in a dispute over pricing. baked beans, ketchup and tomato soup are among the products understood to be affected.

resolution as quickly as possible. of course, this is too important a of course, this is too important a relationship, a deal has got to be done, and pretty fast. help? relationship, a deal has got to be done, and pretty fast.— done, and pretty fast. now some other stories _ done, and pretty fast. now some other stories the _ done, and pretty fast. now some other stories the news. _ a man has appeared in court charged with the murder of zara aleena. the 35—year—old was attacked as she walked home from a night out in east london in the early hours of sunday morning. jordan mcsweeney, who is 29 and of no fixed address, has also been charged with attempted rape and robbery. judges at the court of appeal have ruled that the high court should reconsider the case of a 12—year—old boy who's receiving life—support treatment. a high courtjudge recently concluded that archie battersbee was dead, and ruled that doctors could lawfully stop providing treatment, but three appealjudges have now said there should be another high court hearing. royal mail managers have voted to strike in a dispute over potential job cuts. around 2a00 managers across more than 1000 delivery offices will be affected. strike dates will be announced in the

coming days. the unite union is calling for management to return to the negotiating table. eat less meat and fly less, that is what the government will have to persuade people to do unless other climate policies are improved. that is what its own advisers are saying. the climate change committee says current policies will not deliver the aim of net zero emissions. the government said the uk is leading the world on climate change. justin rowlatt is here. this government is great at setting targets, less good at putting policies in place that will actually meet them. that's the conclusion of the climate change committee today. this is how much emissions need to come down by 2035 to put the uk on track to meet its target of net zero by 2050. we've been making good progress. emissions are already down by almost half their 1990 levels. that's largely because the government has done so well reducing electricity emissions.

lots of areas need more work, like insulation. the committee says there is a shocking lack of policy here. until 2012, lots of us were taking up until 2012, lots of us were taking up government schemes. then, most of those schemes were scrapped. 0ne those schemes were scrapped. one look at this, numbers fell back, leaving 90 million homes that still need improvement. the committee says that the government should be making more of an effort to persuade us all to fly less and eat less meat. both actions can cut individual emissions dramatically. now, the government says the uk has driven down emissions faster than any large economy, with a0% power now coming from renewables. this is backed up, the government says, by £6 million of funding, to make homes and buildings more energy efficient and, the same time, the government says the same time, the government says the uk is planting up to 30,000 hectares of new trees every year.

a 600 yearoak a 600 year oak tree in peterborough is being felled after a campaign to try and save it failed. contractors began dropping it down today. peterborough city council says that the tree is the most likely because of structural damage to several nearby properties, something disputed by those in favour of the tree staying put. it's day three at wimbledon and the british number one emma radacanu has lost her match. our sports news correspondent, laura scott, is there. fans at wimbledon could be forgiven for feeling a sense of deja vu, it is the same big three names as we had on monday. novak djokovic, emma raducanu and andy murray. the same line—up, but as you said, different results. with his name on the honours board six times, novak djokovic knows his way around centre court.

for his opponent today, directions would have been helpful. how is this for an unsettling start for cooking —— kokkinakis? you can't play on broken strings, particularly not against the top seed. djokovic was in commanding form. playing all the tricks in the book to give kokkinakis the runaround. and with this, he had the match done and dusted in two hours. it can be easy to get wrapped up in the drama, luxury and prestige of this place. but there are moments that stop you in your tracks. this all ukrainian match, serving as a reminder that there are far more serious events beyond tennis. that match, unsurprisingly, drew quite a crowd, and they stayed on court 12 as harriet dart made it ten brits through to round two, the most since

198a. headlining the home hopefuls, emma raducanu. but it was a shaky start for the british number one, up against the relentless power of caroline garcia, a former world number four. caroline garcia, a former world numberfour. the caroline garcia, a former world number four. the winners just kept flying past her. tao number four. the winners 'ust kept flying past huh number four. the winnersjust kept flying past her._ she - number four. the winnersjust kept flying past her._ she was| flying past her. too good. she was soon down — flying past her. too good. she was soon down a _ flying past her. too good. she was soon down a set, _ flying past her. too good. she was soon down a set, and _ flying past her. too good. she was soon down a set, and took - flying past her. too good. she was soon down a set, and took a - flying past her. too good. she was soon down a set, and took a breakj flying past her. too good. she was i soon down a set, and took a break to regroup. there were signs the tide was turning. regroup. there were signs the tide was turning-— regroup. there were signs the tide - was turning._ sometimes was turning. phenomenal! sometimes ou 'ust was turning. phenomenal! sometimes you just have — was turning. phenomenal! sometimes you just have to _ was turning. phenomenal! sometimes you just have to improvise. _ was turning. phenomenal! sometimes you just have to improvise. as - was turning. phenomenal! sometimes you just have to improvise. as she - you just have to improvise. as she served to stay in the championships, the will was there from a partisan crowd. applause but it wasn't the result they so badly wanted, as garcia flew into the third round. for the 19—year—old who had enjoyed a fairy tale of new york last autumn, her hopes that sw19 had been swiftly snuffed out.

despite that disappointment for emma raducanu, the british men's number one, cameron norrie, had a better afternoon. he hasjust won in five sets to become the first breakthrough to the third round. hoping tojoin him as andy breakthrough to the third round. hoping to join him as andy murray, currently in action on centre court, but is trailing the big serverjohn isner. now lets look at the weather. sunshine has been part of our weather story today, and what a beautiful day it was for this weather watcher on the pembrokeshire coast. but that hasn't been the whole story. there have been some showers as well. the earlier radar picture shows the extent of those. some have been heavy, some have been thundery, and write it down to the south we have more persistent rain pushing across the channel islands. that will work its way northwards across much of england over night, clipping into parts of wales. we will also see this band of rain developing across eastern parts of northern ireland and overnight temperatures between ten and 13 degrees. let's take a closer look at

northern ireland tomorrow morning. across county antrim and county down we will see heavy and persistent rain for the morning rush hour. that could give surface water and spray, poor travelling conditions and potentially localised flooding. there will also be some rain to start the day across eastern and north—eastern parts of scotland, western scotland largely dry. for england and wales, a straightforward story of sunny spells and showers once again. some of those showers heavy, thundery, slow—moving as well. but there will be places that avoid the showers and stay pretty much dry. a bigger chance of a shower tomorrow than we had today at wimbledon. temperatures, 19 or 21 degrees at best. no great shakes for the time of year. into friday, various areas of wet weather rotating around. plenty of showers through the day. more cloud and rain into northern ireland later on. temperatures, 15 or 22 degrees at best. if you are looking for the showers to ease, let me show you what happens to the weekend. a very slow process, but this area of high pressure is going to start to knows its way in our direction. the

showers will become
