hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones, this is outside source. the us supreme court delivers a blow to climate action in the us. in its latest landmark ruling, the court decides to limit the power of america's top environmental regulator to cut greenhouse gas emissions. nato leaders wrap up the summit individuated for pledges of more money, more weapons and more aid for ukraine. i more money, more weapons and more aid for ukraine-— aid for ukraine. i don't know how it's auoin aid for ukraine. i don't know how it's going to _ aid for ukraine. i don't know how it's going to end, _ aid for ukraine. i don't know how it's going to end, but _ aid for ukraine. i don't know how it's going to end, but it _ aid for ukraine. i don't know how it's going to end, but it will- aid for ukraine. i don't know how it's going to end, but it will not l it's going to end, but it will not end with a russian defeat of ukraine in ukraine. ~ ., ~ ., in ukraine. meanwhile in ukraine, the military _ in ukraine. meanwhile in ukraine, the military says _ in ukraine. meanwhile in ukraine, the military says it _ in ukraine. meanwhile in ukraine, the military says it has _ in ukraine. meanwhile in ukraine, the military says it has driven - the military says it has driven russian troops off a key island in the black sea. russia claims it

withdraws as a goodwill gesture. expected of involvement in one of the most deadliest incidents in the english channel in recent years. and life in wimbledon on day four of the tennis tournament producing the biggest win of her career. another day, another controversial ruling by the supreme court. it's decided to limit the federal government's ability to regulate emissions from power plants. government's ability to regulate the case was brought on behalf of nineteen mostly republican—led states. it's a major blow to president biden and his policy on climate change. here's our north america editor, sarah smith not only says that the biden administration was enacting these
7:02 pm
proposals that are come up with under barack obama but never implement of us a sub and narrows the clean air act and future administrations from sighting it to enact greenhouse gas regulations on a broad scale. the court said that if the administration or any administration must regulate greenhouse gases in this way, did they have to get explicit authorisation from congress who could pass a law giving the administration this power and given thatjoe biden was able to pass other climate resins relations through this congress, other climate resins relations through this let's speak to katie barlow — she is legaljournalist and writes a regular blog on the supreme court. it is not a place to provide commentary on this but generally, i can say that this is a setback and our fight against climate change we are already far off track and meeting the goals of the paris agreement.
7:03 pm
but speak to a legal journalist but speak to a legaljournalist on the supreme court. was this a surprise? the supreme court. was this a surrise? ., ., the supreme court. was this a surprise?— the supreme court. was this a surrise? ., ., , surprise? no, not necessarily force ofthe surprise? no, not necessarily force of the suweme _ surprise? no, not necessarily force of the supreme court _ surprise? no, not necessarily force of the supreme court with - surprise? no, not necessarily force of the supreme court with this - surprise? no, not necessarily force l of the supreme court with this issue when they heard the oral argument backin when they heard the oral argument back in february and there was an off ramp that they could have done to not even decide this case given the biden administration was reworking what its rules were going to be about regulating greenhouse gases but they decided to go ahead and died in here and it is a sweeping ruling that went up to seven and based on environmental regulations of the ability of our regulatory authority on the environment to be able to regulate across the country but other executive agencies that might be regulating other agencies in the biden administration as well. was the argument _ biden administration as well. was the argument here was that was the rationale for the decision? the rationale for the decision? the rationale for _ rationale for the decision? the rationale for the _ rationale for the decision? tue: rationale for the decision? tte: rationale for the decision was, rationale for the decision? tt2 rationale for the decision was, in order to make broad sweeping change which are regulator tried to across
7:04 pm
the industry reduce greenhouse gas emissions and they set standards for every state, the supreme court said in order to make a really broad wide reaching change at that, congress had to give very specific authority in the authority that the regulatory regime is relying on here was not that specific list of congress didn't mean to grant that much power in the regulatory body here went way beyond what our congress gave them the power to do. they stepped out of their realm. t the power to do. they stepped out of their realm-— their realm. i was really clear and i followed that. _ their realm. i was really clear and i followed that. where _ their realm. i was really clear and i followed that. where did - their realm. i was really clear and i followed that. where did the - i followed that. where did the environmental groups go from here? environmental groups are going to have to regroup today and begin to think about how they're going to lobby to get some sort of reduction in greenhouse gases as the court continues to prioritise, you're from the united nations that the need to be a global priority but the way that they're going up to go about doing it now is going to be specifically targeting congress and perhaps getting that specific
7:05 pm
language passed by congress because the decision the supreme court is you can do this type of work unless you can do this type of work unless you have that specific authority from congress and perhaps, their attention to getting that specific language and getting some sort of bill out of our legislation or. focus will not back to its president biden as you suggested there. this is one of his big priorities, how much damage has done to him? there was on the process _ much damage has done to him? there was on the process of— much damage has done to him? ttee was on the process of working on what they were going to do but this certainly does damage of their thinking about doing something even beyond what the obama administration had attempted to do and it's a clear message from the supreme court here that executive agencies, the biden administration in a future presidential administration can't really step out of the scope of that power very easily and they should not try to because it's very limited to what our legislature specifically tells them that they have the power to do. not only is the biden
7:06 pm
administration now we have to look at how they're going to try to tackle climate change, their window to look across the board at all of their executive agencies and things to do with communication or trade or help. all of these agencies are subject to the same rationale from the court decision today where you are strictly bound by the language that comes out of congress in terms of what kind of power you can enact in trying to do yourjob. potentially big decision with potentially big consequences. thank you for coming on. thursday was the final day of the nato summit in madrid. leaders of countries in the alliance are responding to russia's invasion of ukraine. we'll look at how the world may have changed as a result. first, let's hearfrom the head of nato, jens stoltenberg. we faced the most serious security situation in decades. but we are
7:07 pm
rising to the challenge with unity and resolve. the decisions we have taken in madrid will ensure that our alliance continues to preserve peace to prevent conflict and protect our people and our values. what's clear is nato has a renewed sense of purpose after russia's invasion. funding is increasing. and it has a new strategic concept — or blueprint — which says nato now views russia as "the most significant and direct threat". and it'll get two new members — sweden and finland. here's the british prime minister. if you want proof that nato is a purely — if you want proof that nato is a purely defensive alliance. you can have _ purely defensive alliance. you can have no_ purely defensive alliance. you can have no more eloquent testimony than the exception of finland and sweden. quintessentially, countries that have _ quintessentially, countries that have been peace—loving neutral for decades_
7:08 pm
have been peace—loving neutral for decades and the fact that these two paladins— decades and the fact that these two paladins for peace have joined nato tells you _ paladins for peace have joined nato tells you all you need to know nato and all _ tells you all you need to know nato and all you — tells you all you need to know nato and all you need to know about putiu — vladimir putin sees nato's expansion as a threat. nato was created more than 70 years ago to counter russian expansion in europe. back then there were only 12 members. but here it is now — you can see it's grown particularly into eastern europe, as former soviet union countries joined. it's become the most powerful military alliance in the world. and this is what it will look like with finland and swedenjoining. 32 members. and nato's border with russia will double in size. nato's hardened position towards russia is clear. here's the bbc�*s frank gardner asking estonia's prime minister about president putin. i think the west is been misled by putin. that is true. he has lied a lot and has not kept the promises
7:09 pm
that he has given. and therefore, we shouldn't believe him any more. support for ukraine has been top of the agenda. here's president biden speaking about that. ukraine has already dealt severe blows to russia. russia, in fact, has already lost its international standing. russia is in the position where the whole world is looking insane, wait a where the whole world is looking insane, waita minute, all of where the whole world is looking insane, wait a minute, all of this effort to try to take the whole country, you try to take ef, you loss. you try to take all of it, you haven't done that yet. the generic point is that we are supplying them with the capacity and the overwhelming courage they have demonstrated that in fact they can continue to resist the russian aggression and so, i don't know how it's going to and but it will not end with a russian defeat of ukraine in ukraine. president biden there saying russia won't be able to defeat ukraine.
7:10 pm
and because relations between russia and the west are so strained we've heard a lot of people describe today as a new cold war. frank gardner asked nato chiefjens stoltenberg about that. would be accurate to describe the situation is called war two as for nato and russia? t’m situation is called war two as for nato and russia?— situation is called war two as for nato and russia? i'm sceptical of comparing this. _ nato and russia? i'm sceptical of comparing this. we _ nato and russia? i'm sceptical of comparing this. we live - nato and russia? i'm sceptical of comparing this. we live in - nato and russia? i'm sceptical of comparing this. we live in the - comparing this. we live in the dangerous and unpredictable world and that is why nato has responded the way it has in the summit that we have just finished has the way it has in the summit that we havejust finished has made nato stronger, biggerand more havejust finished has made nato stronger, bigger and more prepared to deal with the challenges we face. the other priority for nato is how to support ukraine. another one—point—two billion dollars in military aid from the uk. and another 800 million dollars in military aid from the us is to come in the next few days. stay there kasia — because i want to talk kasia madera is in madrid.
7:11 pm
why make a changing of the world order in the very real sense. absolutely right, louis. if they're doing one thing, they should be celebrating in the capital of madrid because those world leaders, as all those delegates go, there will be very pleased with how the summit went. we were promised a transformative summit, we are promised an overhaul of the defence, collective defence of nato and that's exactly what we saw. big pledges, monetary pledges as you say in some massive increase of that fast response team as well to boost the eastern flank and basically, a message of united nato. we were promised all of this and we certainly got it. but where we stand here at the centre of madrid is an independent square in nato once again showing that it is working to defend independent nations. the
7:12 pm
perspective of the uk has been the borisjohnson was to present himself as someone who is increasing military spending at home and other countries of promised to do that too. but what happens next is crucial, isn't it, if countries to actually increase the domestic spending on military budgets. tt is spending on military budgets. it is absolutel spending on military budgets. tit 3 absolutely crucial spending on military budgets. tt 3 absolutely crucial because spending on military budgets. tt 1 absolutely crucial because we heard that pledge from the british prime minister. if you think about it, we were addressed by president zelensky at the summit and he really put it very bluntly. ukraine needs $5 billion a month in order to sustain itself. in order to fight back, in order to basically, not be taken over by russia. so, when you hear that, really puts it into context was of the pledges, yes of course it is welcomed and president biden announced that he will be talking
7:13 pm
about a further 800 million us dollars worth of military aid for ukraine. of course it is a welcome. but putting it into context. the president of ukraine is calling for a month. just to survive. that context is _ a month. just to survive. that context is always _ a month. just to survive. that context is always crucial. - stay there kasia — because i want to talk about something else we heard today. at last week's g7 summit, we heard western leaders joke about taking their tops off for a photo. they were mocking these pictures of vladimir putin. here he is riding a horse, topless. well vladimir putin responded to those jokes today. i don't know how they wanted to get undressed above or below the waist, but i think it would be a disgusting sight in any case. tt but i think it would be a disgusting sight in any case.— sight in any case. if you can speak to ou sight in any case. if you can speak to you again. _ sight in any case. if you can speak to you again. i'm _ sight in any case. if you can speak to you again, i'm not _ sight in any case. if you can speak to you again, i'm not going - sight in any case. if you can speak to you again, i'm not going to - sight in any case. if you can speak to you again, i'm not going to ask| to you again, i'm not going to ask you about topless photos, don't worry, put i do want to know about how vladimir putin is really front
7:14 pm
and centre of so many western leaders minds now at that summit, showing the shift in his place in the road now.— showing the shift in his place in the road now. you can resist it, could you. _ the road now. you can resist it, could you. you _ the road now. you can resist it, could you, you can _ the road now. you can resist it, could you, you can resist - the road now. you can resist it, l could you, you can resist showing those pictures. those are really serious note to this. if you think about the summit of 2010 with their last strategic concept was drawn up in the concept was the guidelines of nato that really dictate how this alliance of 30 soon to be 32 members how they move forward and now they have disagreements and they come together. their and reaffirming those values and just reminding what is in steak. then russian president was present. he had to seat at the table he was invited to the summit and it's unthinkable now. a real reversal, a shift change in terms of how russia is seen and let may cast
7:15 pm
your mind a little bit further. 1997. force was signing the nato russia founding act and there was a real hope that russia could be brought in from the cold after the collapse of the ussr. that is unthinkable now. today, the threat, the strategic threat, the direct threat of the nato alliance is russia and that was thought about consistently throughout this nato summit and yes, of course, g7 leaders are having a bit of a joke, laughing at president putin but president putin is watching everything that is happening is very closely monitoring what is happening in madrid and rather than what he had hoped, a decrease in nato, he has now seen an enlargement following his invasion of ukraine. thank you so much for that. we're now going to look at how russia has responded to this summit. it's been condemned
7:16 pm
in moscow — as expected. here's vladimir putin. translation: ukraine and the well—being of ukrainian people is not the aim of the collective west in nato. but a means to defend their own interests. the summit — and its two new members — has been discussed by russian state media too. i want to bring in a russian analyst at bbc monitoring, hello to you. stand by there and will play a little bit of a quick clip and then we'll get you to respond to it in a minute. can you tell us what is going on there? allowing finland and sweden to join
7:17 pm
nato, it has been one of the main talking points of russian tv yesterday and today and the main narrative is that both sweden and turkey and finland are under pressure and were forced to come to a compromise to make a deal and also in addition to that, both finland and sweden have been accused of abandoning their values and betraying the current.- abandoning their values and betraying the current. more widely, how has this _ betraying the current. more widely, how has this nato _ betraying the current. more widely, how has this nato summit - betraying the current. more widely, how has this nato summit been - how has this nato summit been covered in the media and russia? there been a couple of messages coming from moscow and on one hand, it was forced by president putin himself that there were not particularly concerned by finland
7:18 pm
and sweden because russia has no issues with either of those countries. 0n the other hand, russian officials have condemned the ministry officials of condemned this expansion is very irresponsible and the ministry is yesterday said it was very irresponsible and aimed at aggressive containment and the russian state media on the other hand said that the decisions taken ljy hand said that the decisions taken by nato at the summit not only once they concerned the expansion but also the ones that concerned the policy of russia, they conclude that moscow has been correct in nato, nato is at war and nato wants to contain russia nato is at war and nato wants to contain russi— nato is at war and nato wants to contain russi ., ~ , ., , . contain russia thank you very much for cominu contain russia thank you very much for coming on _ contain russia thank you very much for coming on and _ contain russia thank you very much for coming on and giving _

contain russia thank you very much for coming on and giving you - contain russia thank you very much for coming on and giving you the i for coming on and giving you the perspective of the russian media. the mother and stepfather of a child whose body was found in the river in south wales have been given life sentences for murder. they heard that he was dehumanized during months of abuse at the hands of members of the family. a teenager was also convicted of killing the boy. he will be detained for minimum of 15 years. this report contained some 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.
7:20 pm
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. my son, my boy...not here. 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
7:21 pm
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 sellen 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
7:22 pm
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. 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,
7:23 pm
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. i believe i came into contact with monkeypox through general touch of someone. a friend of mine. i started to feel the symptoms and i was feeling quite nauseous and very tired and of physical signs, it started to appear are major genitalia. i had spots, small spots around the sides of my fingernail, rounded and their blister spots and i never thought it would be something that i would get to be one of the first to have later on with the monkeypox appearing over my body. symptoms are usually mild but anyone can catch monkeypox from close contact. because so many of the current cases are in gay and bisexual men, health officials in london say clear messages are needed ahead of the city's pride event this weekend. kevin fenton is public health director, for london. this is the time for all of us to be
7:24 pm
vigilant and aware of the signs and symptoms of monkeypox and to ensure that if people do have signs and symptoms, that they do not go out and mix over the weekend and the people who are mixing will be aware after the events to look for signs and symptoms just in case there may have been picked up. before this spring monkeypox was exclusively circulating in countries in central and west africa where it has been endemic for years. but since may cases have been in countries much further afield which woudn't normally expect to see the virus — and the uk has the most cases with over a thousand recorded. at the moment, we know that is transmitted through sexual networks and essentially because gay and bisexual men are socialising together and also because there's a lot of skin to skin contact during sex, this is where the transmission
7:25 pm
is occurring at the moment and it's important that the general population also are aware of the signs and symptoms because it's just a virus at the end of the day and can happen to anyone. as issued a warning limiting power plants. it is a significant blow to president biden's efforts to tackle climate change. the case was brought on behalf of 19, mostly republican but states that were worried they will be made to move away from using coal. they argue that the governments environmental protection agency did not have the authority to limit emissions across all states. a white house spokesperson said the ruling was a devastating decision that and to take the united states backwards. that is it for me. you

7:31 pm
katie boulter produces the biggest win of her career. we will start with an update on one of the deadliest incidents in the english channel for the number of people arrested of being part of the people smuggling ring involved in the disaster. as a reminder of what happened. in november last year 27 people died when their boat sank near calais, they were trying to make it across the channel to reach the uk. these images from that night among the day, 17 men, seven women, one was pregnant and three children. 24—year—old marianne from northern iraq was the first of many named victims. she was hoping to reach her fiance who lives in the uk. our corresponded is in paris. what is the update that we've had today?
7:32 pm
there have been arrests, there is a series of swoops on suspects sunday and monday and arrests were made in the north of france in the calais area but also in paris in some eastern france as well. all of these 15 people, five have been released without any charge. the other ten today have been presented before a judge and are still being presented before a judge. what we expect to happen is that these ten will be and what they call in france, placed underjudicial, it's as close as you get to be in charge in the french legal system. get to be in charge in the french legalsystem. if get to be in charge in the french legal system. if that happens, what the charge would be is people trafficking but also in voluntary homicide. the suspicion clearly is that these were the network that was paid to provide the boat and put the

7:34 pm
rescued 86 people who were in difficulty who had taken two small boats to get across. the small boats are leaving all the time, especially with the summer months and is generally calmer and the water is warmer. there is no particular sign of it letting up. what's interesting about the group who were arrested this week as they were afghans, it seems this was an afghan group. it seems this was an afghan group. it seems probably set up either in the wake of the taliban take over in afghanistan or at least in a position to take advantage of the outflow of people following that takeover. but interestingly, they were allegedly finding boats and being paid to float people across, most people on the tragic vessel were not afghan. they were clearly able to take money from whoever it was around. they would go to the camps and places around this calais area and see who wanted a boat and they were provided.—
7:35 pm
they were provided. thank you so much for that. _ thank you so much for that. 0n the ground in ukraine — russia has withdrawn its forces from a strategic island in the black sea after a massive ukrainian bombardment. the island, which it captured at the start of the war, has come underfrequent attack by ukraine. kyiv said russian troops evacuated the outcrop in the north—western black sea after being targeted by missiles and artillery. but the russian defence ministry claims their soldiers had simply completed all their assigned tasks and left. surface—to—air missile systems installed there represented a constant threat to ukrainina forces in the south west of the country. the island is exposed to attacks from all directions. these pictures—released by the ukraine armed forces, show the drones which target russian vessels near the island. and this is the lastest pictures of snake island, as you can see there are plumes
7:36 pm
of smoke, indicating some sort of assault. 0ur correspondent in ukraine, joe inwood, the capture of snake —— nick beak. this came is a real shock because the russians took it in the early hours of the invasion backin in the early hours of the invasion back in february for the the fact that they were able to seize it with such speed represented how russia was attacking ukraine from lots of different angles. it also became a symbol of ukrainian defiance, and one particular what member of the military telling the russians to go away, basically that sort of language was up that was immortalised in a postage stamp here. it became a real lightning rod to sum up what the ukrainians said was their defiance. recapturing was their defiance. reca pturing snake was their defiance. recapturing snake island, it might not be massive on a military level but certainly it's a morale boost for the ukrainian military also, a morale boost for the ukrainian people. steve
7:37 pm
rosenberg told us about moscow's version of events. basically, moscow wants the world to think there was no rush and retreat from snake island. russian defence ministry say the claims that the russian troops that simply completed there and doing my assignment and laugh. the statement also describes the departure as a goodwill gesture to show that russia is in trying to hamper food exports from show that russia is in trying to hamperfood exports from ukraine. but considering that the strategic importance of this location, which russia and ukraine have been fighting overfor russia and ukraine have been fighting over for months russia and ukraine have been fighting overfor months now and considering the lack of or you might say the absence of goodwill gesture is on the part of the russian armed forces since they invaded ukraine more than four months ago, you have to conclude that this version of events will not go down well, won't be believed outside of russia. but that's not the point. i think today's statement from the russian defence ministry is aimed at the domestic audience inside of russia.
7:38 pm
that is become the kremlin it is critically important that in this conflict the russian public believes that the russians are the good guys here. they have justice on their side and that the public believes that this so—called special military operation as a kremlin because it is going according to plan without military setbacks. what this island is important for the global perspective. it's at the heart of this growing crisis that we've been talking about in recent days russia isn't accused of pushing two burning and stopping the export of ukrainian grain and that's what the united nations to talk about a possible famine in places like the middle east and parts of africa because they're not getting this wheat and other products from ukraine. what's happened today is russia is saying that it's moved off of this island to show that it's got no intention of blocking the passage of ukrainian grain. here in ukraine itself they say that's nonsense,
7:39 pm
