to the bbc news at six. the mother and stepfather of a five—year—old boy whose body was found dumped in a river near his home in south wales have been given life sentences for his murder. cardiff crown court heard that logan mwangi was dehumanised during months of abuse at the hands of members of his family. his mother angharad williams was told she must serve at least 28 years; john cole will serve a minimum of 29 years. a teenager was also convicted of killing the little boy — tonight, he can be named as craig mulligan, after a judge lifted an anonymity order. he will be detained for a minimum of 15 years. this report from hywel griffith contains distressing details. a mother distraught, a son missing. he needs me. he needs warm clothes. he needs mum! but angharad williamson was desperate, not for

him to be found, but to avoid being found out by the police. this is all my fault! logan mwangi was a playful, kind, caring little boy, his life cut short by those he trusted. his mother claimed the five—year—old had disappeared. she called the police. she knew logan was already dead, after being attacked in the house his body had been dumped in a river by his stepfather and a teenage boy. the judge said williamson had never taken any responsibility or shown any remorse. her partner, john cole, was behind the ferocious attack. both were sentenced to life in prison.

cole's stepson, craig mulligan, has been detained for a minimum of 15 years. it is incomprehensible that logan had his life cut short in such tragic circumstances at the hands of those very people who should be there to protect him. for logan's father, ben, who stands beside me, today's sentence is welcome news. however no amount ofjustice can bring logan back or compensate for the grief that continues to be felt. logan had been punished and beaten within the walls of his home. after testing positive for covid, he was locked in his room and made to face the wall. the final attack was so brutal, his injuries would normally be seen after a car crash. jocelyn cellen was a member of the jury. it's rare forjurors to speak publicly. she wanted people to know about the impact it had on them. you just keep going to what was happening for that child, and how he must have been suffering.

to see the defendants... you know, there's only three people in that house who know what happened. who dealt the fatal blow, who decided to cover up the crime may never be known. all three still blame one another. but what happened to logan here is still being investigated by a child practice review. he was known to social services. about a month before he died, his case was downgraded from being a child at risk to being a child in need. tonight, there are calls for a wider inquiry into children's services in wales. painful questions remain over whether any more could or should have been done to protect logan. hywel griffith, bbc news. you can see more on that story in logan mwangi, a boy betrayed' on bbc iplayer. and viewers in wales can also see

the island is also hugely symbolic for the ukrainians, the story in the early days of the conflict of a defiant ukrainian soldier telling the russian flagship the moskva to "get lost", in much more colourful language. that became a rallying cry for the war. and our europe correspondent nick beakejoins us from the ukrainian capital, kyiv. how important is this development today? it's a tiny island but a big strategic and symbolic significance and it's at the heart of the story we've spoken about in recent days, the grain crisis in this particular part of the world. russia is accused of burning, robbing and crucially, blocking the export of ukrainian crane, leading the un to warn of a possible famine in parts of the middle east and africa. today moscow has said that by withdrawing from this island it is showing it has no intention of blocking these supplies. that's been rejected out of hand in ukraine, they say it's

because russian forces were defeated militarily, that's why they had to lease. experts suggest it will make no difference to the food crisis there because russian warships still dominate the black sea and if you ask yourself the bigger question, will it have any impact on the wider war, again it is probably no because the fiercest fighting is raging in the fiercest fighting is raging in the east of the country, in the donbas region where russia continues to make gains, even though the us and the uk and others are sending heavier weaponry to that part of the world. i think tonight, jane, the biggest impact of the recapture of snake island is as a morale boost for the ukrainian military and the ukrainian people.— for the ukrainian military and the ukrainian people. a quarter of gp posts in england could be unfilled in less than a decade, according to a study by researchers at the health foundation. it says it's concerned about a "growing shortage" of family doctors, and is warning that the number

of nurses based in doctor's surgeries will also decline over the next ten years. our health editor hugh pym is with me. yes, jane — you don't have to go far to find someone who says they've struggled to get a gp appointment — new staff numbers suggest the problem won't go away any time soon. currently, there are 27,000 fully qualified gps in england. the health foundation think tank says that even with existing plans to train new doctors the total will only go up to 27,100 by 2030. that's because the number of people leaving will match the number being recruited. and the think tank says that will mean the health system will have a shortfall of 10,700 which would be needed to keep up with changes in the population. the demand for gp services over this decade is due to increase by about one fifth. we've got many more old people and we need general practice to do more. we need high vaccination

the darker the colour on this map, the fewer gps available relative to the local population. there's no comparable data for scotland, wales and northern ireland. but they face similar challenges with gp cover and patient needs. jane. the us supreme court has ruled to curb some of the powers of the country's environmental protection agency and limit the government's mission to regulate emissions from power plants, a significant blow to president biden's efforts to tackle climate change. sarah smith joins president biden's efforts to tackle climate change. sarah smithjoins me from the supreme court. another court decision that could have a big impact. it is now much harder for president biden to meet his pledge to tackle climate change and halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. the supreme court has ruled that the environmental protection agency does not have the authority

to impose carbon limits without the express approval of congress. the case was brought by 19 mostly republican states who were worried they could be forced to move away from using coal for power generation — those states make up 44% of us emissions and have only reduced them by 7% since 2000. carbon limits could still be introduced by only if congress passes new legislation, and that is something joe biden currently does not have the votes to do. he promised at the cop summit last year that the us would lead by the power of its example on tackling climate change, but today it has become harder for him to take action at home and remember — the us is the world's second largest emitter of carbon behind china accounting for nearly 14% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions.

the un says this is a major setback in the fight against climate change. an inquiry has begun into the charity established in honour of the fundraiser and army veteran captain sir tom moore. the charity commission has concerns about the management of the captain tom foundation — and potential conflicts of interest between the foundation and a private company run by members of his family, as john maguire explains. inches to go and there he is. captain sir tom moore's challenge to walk 100 laps of his back garden before his 100th birthday earned him global recognition, a knighthood and around £39 million for nhs charities. that money has been distributed and is without any issues. but the charity commission has announced a statutory inquiry. it's the most serious level of investigation. looking into the captain tom foundation set up by his family, and a company they control called club nook limited. we are concerned that whether or not the trustees, governance

and decision—making has been up to scratch, if you like, and just to make sure there is no personal benefit or conflicts of interest in relation to the charity and the private company. one concern is over intellectual property and trademark variations of the name captain tom. in a statement his daughter, hannah ingram—moore, and her husband, colin, said they welcomed the fact that the commission had approved the charity's accounts in february and that the trademark applications were made by club nook before the foundation was created. well, this is the family home and the location of course for captain tom's famous exploits. the foundation that was set up in his name aims to continue his legacy and to help people struggling with some of the issues that were closest to his heart. the regulator says the charity sector must be transparent and that when people make the decision to donate, they do so knowing that the money will go to help those most in need. john maguire, bbc

news, bedfordshire. our top story this evening... the mother and stepfather of five—year—old logan mwangi are sentenced to life behind bars for his murder. and a plea to introduce protection for our centuries—old trees, as research discovers there's hundreds more growing than previously thought. coming up in sportsday later in the hour on the bbc news channel... we'll look ahead to a big weekend for motorsport. it's notjust the british grand prix at silverstone, it's also the w series — we'll hear from the the findings of an investigation into the handling of allegations of bullying made against the duchess of sussex will remain private, says a senior buckingham palace source. it had been expected

that the outcome of the review would be published in the annual sovereign grant report, which shows the public funding of the monarchy. our royal correspondent sarah campbell has all the details. the sovereign grant this year totalled £86.3 million. a slight increase on last year. so this is the amount of public money given to the queen to support her and the working members of her family as they carry out their official duties. it does not cover their security costs. expenditure was significantly higher at just over 100 million pounds. the shortfall between the grant and spending was made up using money from reserve funds as well as income generated from visitors to royal palaces. the biggest outlay of almost 55 million pounds was for the ongoing refurbishment of buckingham palace. it is undergoing a ten year reservicing programme — and there was a push this year to make sure it would be ready for the jubilee weekend. travel costs are also covered by the grant — the most expensive was the duke and duchess of cambridge's sometimes

controversial caribbean tour in march, which cost 226 thousand pounds. the annual review deals notjust with the finances but more generally with the running of the royal households. so it was in this context it was revealed that there had been a review into how allegations meghan the duchess of sussex had bullied staff were handled. allegations she strenuously denies. the review has concluded. policies have changed as a result. but no further details will be made public. now a look at some other stories making the news today... the government has announced more interim compensation for postmasters wrongly convicted of stealing money, when the problems were caused by a faulty post office computer system. more than 500 people will share £19.5 million, meaning they will each receive about £40,000. a former snp mp has been

jailed for two years for embezzling nearly £25,000 from two pro—independence groups. natalie mcgarry, who is 40, represented glasgow east between 2015 and 2017. she was convicted of two charges in may. the former formula one boss bernie ecclestone has described vladimir putin as a "first—class person" who is doing something he believes is right for russia. eccelstone reportedly became friends with the president when they were establishing the russian grand prix in 2014 and said today he'd "still take a bullet for him. anyone with monkeypox symptoms is being urged to stay away from this weekend's lgbt+ pride events. the head of public health in london says that gay and bisexual men in particular need to be aware of unusual rashes, blisters or swollen glands. there have been more than 1,000 confirmed cases of monkeypox in the uk since early may, and it is men who have sex with men

who are most affected. here's our global health correspondent, naomi grimley. london draped in rainbow flags, but this year's pride takes place against the backdrop of a monkeypox outbreak, with the vast majority of infections in men who have sex with men. i didn't know much about monkeypox but, when they told me, i thought the worst. it's a difficult subject to talk about, but dan, who is 31, wants to speak openly about the symptoms, which include a rash. i was starting to get swollen down my genitals and then also my glands in my throat, so my throat started swelling up and, for a couple of days, ifound it quite hard to breathe at times. symptoms are usually mild but anyone can catch monkeypox through close contact. because so many of the current cases are in gay and bisexual men, health officials say clear messages are needed ahead of pride. if you think you may have monkeypox, blisters,

fever, swollen glands, please don't go out over the weekend. stay at home, contact nhs111 or your local sexual health service for advice. if you are out and socialising and mixing, please be on the lookout for any signs and symptoms. before this spring, monkeypox was exclusively circulating in these african countries, where it's been endemic for years. since may, however, cases have been found in several countries which wouldn't normally expect to see the virus, and the uk has the most cases, with over 1,000 recorded. there is a vaccine, and queues have been forming outside new york's pop—up clinics. the uk is also offering it to men at higher risk. for some, pride is about having a party, but health officials want to be frank about a disease new to the uk. naomi grimley, bbc news. there could be ten times as many

ancient trees in england — around since the middle ages — than are currently known about, according to scientists, who say as many as two million may be unrecorded. and campaigners are calling for them to be protected, as our environment and rural affairs correspondent, claire marshall, reports. here on the ashton court estate in bristol, there are trees that were patiently growing at the time of richard the lionheart and the crusades. this might be a really good route in. shall we have a look? we followed steve marsh from the woodland trust, looking for one called the domesday oak. it's a jungle to get to it. but instead we found a secret. we are nearly there. mind the stumps. wow, look at this! amazing! almost 700 years old, this hidden tree is nameless and a revelation. that is a living cathedral, a literal living legend. what kind of legal protection does this kind of tree have? this tree only has protection because the landowner looks

after it, in this sense, so it's by proxy. trees like this don't have any legal status. we think trees like this should have the same heritage status as our ancient buildings, and why wouldn't they? 700 years old or plus. and today a university of nottingham study shows there could be ten times as many ancient and veteran trees as we thought, many around london and the historic hunting parks and forests, but also across england, from hereford to northumberland. but they aren't all loved. near peterborough, we filmed the last day of this lone oak, the remains of a wood centuries older than the estate that's risen around it. an insurance company said it was damaging a nearby house. the council decided to fell it. it's trees like this one that perfectly illustrate the conflict between the very ancient world and the modern, and the difficulty in finding a balance between the two. today, the oak finally lost. any potential threat to a home is gone, but a unique habitat and,

for locals, a skyscape of memory and imagination has been taken apart. as biodiversity levels crash, these living beings are a haven. they also cool a heating climate. perhaps, armed with the new map of old trees, we can help to keep more of them alive. claire marshall, bbc news. it's been a much better day for the brits at wimbledon today. the centre court crowd were treated to a stunning fightback from the british wildcard katie boulter — the 25—year—old produced the biggest win of her career, beating last year's runner—up, karolina pliskova. our sports correspondent joe wilson was watching, at the all england club. karolina pliskova instinctively turned left. well, it's what she did last year. katie boulter knew differently, straight onto her big occasion, and many empty seats

initially. the atmosphere grew as the player from initially. the atmosphere grew as the playerfrom leicestershire nearest the camera showed her best tennis against the number six seed. boulter lost the first set but the second went to a tie—break and ended like this. bold had beaten the xxx player earlier this month but this was eastbourne. this was everything. it was also a family occasion. mr; it was also a family occasion. my gran it was also a family occasion. tj�*i gran passed it was also a family occasion. tj�*i: gran passed away it was also a family occasion. ti: gran passed away two it was also a family occasion. m; gran passed away two days ago and i'd like to dedicate that to her today. i've got hopefully many more matches to play and, if i can have you guys behind me, hopefully i can go all the way. thank you so much. on court 18, heather watson concluded her match against wang qiang of china, a straight sets win. reaching the third round of

wimbledon, heather watson first is that a decade ago, but you know, perhaps now it means more. with experience comes perspective. as an event, wimbledon is trying to think broadly. today is environment day and we see more of this every year. but rare indeed to witness two british players securing the biggest wins of their careers in the same afternoon. there is liam broady knocking at the number 12 seed, diego schwartzman. there is a british at wimbledon yet. and jack draper has made a good start on court number one. on centre court, ruffin adele is to have one set up with work to do, but iga swiatek, top seed in the women's draw, is through. —— ruffin adele. that was her 37th consecutive victory. time for a look at the weather. here's chris faulkes. today has been another day of

sunshine and showers can but today showers been much bigger, take this big storm cloud on the horizon in hampshire. if i show you the radar, you can see the majority of thunderstorms we have had have been in wales, south—west england and the midlands. if you look at the jet stream pattern, we have got a trough, which encourages those big showers and thunderstorms to develop, but in stark contrast to what is happening further east, what we have a massive ridge pattern that has set up very high temperatures, with a heat wave ring record june temperatures from part of the arctic dentist in europe. overnight tonight, given those favourable jet stream conditions, we keep showers going in england and wales the next several hours. temperatures of ten to 12 and, by the end of the night, we start to see some rain arriving in eastern most areas of i wet start here. as we go through tomorrow, it will be a breezy kind of day and,

after a dry start for
