at london's hyde park delighted. hello, and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. president biden has promised the federal government will act to protect women's rights if us states seek to prevent them travelling to get an abortion. speaking at a virtual meeting with democratic state governors, mr biden said he believed some states would attempt to arrest women who crossed state lines for abortion access. he warned only democratic victories in the mid—term elections would give congress the power to restore federal abortion rights.

i think people are going to be shocked when the first state, the first state that tries to arrest a woman for crossing a state line to get health services. and i don't think people believe that's going to happen. but it's going to happen and it's going to it's going to telegraph to the whole country that this is, this is a gigantic deal that goes beyond i mean, it affects all your basic rights. if extremist governors try to block a woman from traveling from her state that prohibits herfrom seeking medical help she needs to a state that provides that care, the federal government will act to protect her bedrock rights through the attorney general�*s office. there are fears that in states restricting abortion, police could try to access location histories on smartphones owned by women who travel to terminate a pregnancy. google says it intends to delete data when its systems identify an apparent trip to an abortion clinic. geoffrey fowler is a columnist

with the washington post. he told us more about the specific concerns around law enforcement agencies being able to access personal data. by us law, any time a company has access to data a court can order them to hand it over. it requires a process and some negotiation, but the end of roe vs wade, that abortion decision, the united states have opened people's eyes on a mass scale that companies like google knows so much about is that any of those data points they collect about us could then be sought by prosecutors and used as evidence as a crime. we are talking about what we have seen previously, cases in the us of a google searches are used to prosecute crimes, text messages, locations on maps, all sorts of things, all which google elects as a regular use of business about its users. it is a wake—up call that creating these giant businesses that are based on harvesting personal

information and make money off it, has created accidental dystopia. they are taking our data and saying, they will give us an exchange, useful products. we get that, but we are not thinking about the other things in the way that data can be used, it is surveillance capitalism and we are starting to pay the price for it. the ruling by the supreme court last week has led to worldwide demonstrations. protests are expected in france today and thousands of australians demonstrated earlier against the us supreme court's ruling on abortion. as in the united states now, in australia, abortion laws are set by states. earlier i spoke with doctor ronli sifris, deputy director of the caston centre for human rights law at monash university in melbourne. i asked her about the status of abortion rights in australia.

in australia abortion is regulated at the state level, so not dissimilar to the us but the key point of difference is that abortion is not as highly politicised in australia as it is in the us. and also over the past decade or so, we have seen significant step towards the liberalisation of abortion laws in australia. so pretty much all of australia's jurisdictions have now decriminalised abortion. yet we have seen these protests, what is the reaction in australia to the us supreme court decision? does this reflect a fear about the fragility of women's rights? yes, i think the motivation for the protests is two fold. first of all, as you mention, there is a sense thatjust as we have progressed and liberalised abortion laws, so too we could just as quickly

regress and re—criminalise abortion. there is a sense that australians must remain constantly vigilant to a place where abortion is once again a crime. in addition to there being a sense of i guess fear, as he put it, i think another key motivation for the protests is a sense of solidarity with people in the us and a feeling of wanting to reach out and stand with them at this very distressing time, to be honest. tell us more, if you would, about what women's experience of trying to access an abortion in australia is like? yes, thankfully australia generally has fairly liberal abortion laws. other because it is regulated at the state level there are differences between the jurisdictions. for example, in tasmania abortion is available on request up to 16 weeks gestation.

in victoria it is available on request up to 2a weeks gestation. that is quite a big difference and what we have seen, as was a leader to in thejoe biden speech, we have seen people travelling across state lines where necessary to access abortion in more liberaljurisdictions. so that does still exist here in australia, although not to the extent it will exist in the us. now that roe vs wade has been overturned. but access issues go far beyond the law. even though australian laws are by and large quite progressive, there are still issues in the form of financial obstacles to access. most abortions in australia are provided at the private level rather than at the public level, which renders them unaffordable

for many women, to be honest. we also have an urban versus rural divide. if you live in a big city like melbourne or sydney, it is easier to access abortion but if you live in a rural area it is more challenging, particularly if there is only one doctor in town and that doctor has a conscientious objection to abortion. really interesting to get your thoughts and insights, thank you forjoining us on bbc news. russian state media is reporting that two british men have been charged with what it describes as "mercenary activities" by moscow—backed separatists in eastern ukraine. dylan healy is said to have been helping as a volunteer aid worker when he was taken prisoner in april. russia says andrew hill, from plymouth, surrendered to their forces in the same month. the uk foreign office said it

condemns the exploitation of prisoners of war and civilians for political purposes. ukraine's prosecutor—general has urged turkey — a nato member — to detain a russian—flagged cargo ship which he says is carrying grain looted from warehouses in occupied territory. the bbc has been tracking the ship — believed to be leased to the russian company green—line, which is not under any sanctions. the vessel set out from berdyansk — it's currently lying off the turkish coast. mark lobel has more. ukraine wants this cargo ship, filmed by the bbc to be seized. it is carrying grain ukraine says has been stolen from a russian occupied part of their country. allegations russia denies. the bbc has been tracking the ship, believed to be leased to the russian company green line, which is not under any sanctions, across the black sea,

on a journey that began on wednesday last week. the zhibek zholy is transporting around 7,000 tonnes of ukrainian grain from berdyansk in southeastern ukraine controlled by russian forces to caruso in turkey, 200 kilometers from istanbul. working closely with our sources in ukraine, we were able to identify one specific vessel that is the zhibek zholy. russian administration in berdyans�*k actually said on a telegram message that this cargo vessel was going to carry 7,000 tons of grain out to friendly countries. we've been able to track the gps data and now this vessel is actually two nautical miles off the city of kurasu in the north of turkey. ships from russia's black sea fleet are ensuring the security of the cargo ship's journey, according to a russian governor of an occupied area in ukraine. this has prompted ukraine to ask turkey to inspect the grain on board the vessel. but will turkey comply? if you look at the broader turkish

behavior since the russian invasion of ukraine, turkey had tried to position itself based on its self—interest rather than doing the right thing, rather than following a certain set of values and they've played both sides. indeed it's likely turkey's recent support for sweden and finland's nato bids in the face of russian opposition was only possible after some serious negotiations. the bbc has also been monitoring russia's expropriation of grain from inside ukraine, which is then sent by truck or rail to its motherland. elsewhere in ukraine, grain is stuck around the ports and warehouses of 0desa with mines lurking in the surrounding waters. that's causing shortages affecting food supplies around the world. western countries blame russia for the blockages, but moscow blames western sanctions for hampering international food supplies. mark lobel, bbc news.

and in the last few hours, we've been hearing reports of powerful explosions in the ukrainian city of mykolaiv. writing on social media, the city's mayor urged people to stay in shelters. air raid sirens sounded across the whole region before the blasts in the early hours of saturday. 0ur ukraine correspondentjoe inwood had this update from kyiv. now, this morning's explosions in mykolaiv come in the context of a number of missile strikes that have hit civilian targets all across ukraine in the last week or so, most notably a shopping centre in the centre of the country, but then just recently as well the strikes just to the west of mykolaiv on a resort. now, the death toll in there is a tax has gone up to 21 now — killed in a high—rise building and a resort complex. now, what interesting about all this is it happened just after the russians had been driven from snake island, the ukrainians say with heavy artillery and rocket fire. they indeed released pictures

of the attacks happening and saying they had driven the russians off this strategically and symbolically important piece of rock. now, the russians had a rather different perspective. they said they had left of their own free will, as a gesture of goodwill to aid the passage of grain from ukraine into the rest of the world. that of course is something the ukrainians dispute. but grain is an important and divisive topic in this war, and especially today. there are reports that a russian flagship has left the occupied port of berdyansk carrying a large amount of grain. now, that great is believed, and the ukrainians say, has been stolen from ukrainian farmers, stolen from ukrainian warehouses, and shipped to the rest of the world as russian grain. of course, the ukrainians say that this is something where action needs to be taken. they're calling on the ship to be seized. the suspected driver of a truck found abandoned in the us state of texas with dozens of bodies inside has been charged with migrant smuggling resulting in death. fifty— three people from mexico

and central america died in the deadliest case of human smuggling in us history. officials say omm—air—o zamorano had been unaware of an air conditioning failure. he was found hiding in the bushes near the truck on monday. mexican officials say he initially tried to pass himself off as one of the survivors. new york has approved legislation that will restrict people carrying concealed guns in some locations. these include government buildings, public transport, schools and colleges as well as times square. the law has been introduced after the us supreme court struck down new york's restrictive gun—license laws, and is likely to face challenges itself. a place that wants to allow guns on their premises will have to demonstrate that and establish that they put a sign out there that says concealed carry guns are welcome here. we are also going to be

expanding the disqualifying criteria for a permit. for example, if you have a history of dangerous behaviour, you shouldn't be able to get a gun. full stop. period. it's just common sense. a uk parliamentary watchdog will examine claims of sexual misconduct made against the former conservative deputy chief whip, chris pincher. he's now been suspended from the party after being accused of groping two men at a private members club in london on wednesday. he can continue to represent his constituency of tamworth, in staffordshire, as an independent. 0ur correspondent phil mccann has been in mr pincher�*s constituency to gauge opinion there. just been speaking to one of those constituents, a gentleman who voted for chris pincher, who said that the allegations against him are disgraceful. i asked, will you be voting conservative again? he said, well, it depends who the candidate is. clearly, he wanted chris pincher to stand down. but this is a seat which is mired,

which is steeped in conservative heritage, as the market town at the centre of this constituency wakes up this morning and the market stalls are set out, we're stood in the shadow of one of chris pincher�*s, predecessors, sir robert peel, the founder of modern british police and conservative mp for this area, and the conservatives and mr. pincher have appeared to be very popular here in the past 19 and a half thousand was his majority at the last election. but people here just, i suppose, quite incredulous that here we are again with another scandal involving an mp, a conservative mp, after three over the last few months, two of which were also of a sexual nature. and attention now is turning to whether there might be a by election here, which would depend on whether mr pincher wants to stand down. if there were, it is worth reflecting on the fact that his majority here, 19 and a half thousand, would normally be considered large and safe. but it is less than the majorities that the conservatives enjoyed in two of those by elections that there have recently been, which they lost. holidaymakers in france

are set for another day of travel disruption, with more strikes and cancelled flights scheduled. travel experts have been warning of a summer of travel chaos in europe as countries grapple with industrial action and post—covid staffing shortages. sum of travel discontent in europe getting worse by the day. hundreds of airport workers in france are striking to demand better wages and better working conditions. they say returning to work after the pandemic has been a whole new world for them. now air traffic is coming back, there is no longer any problem but they have slashed thousands ofjobs. around 1500 at the paris airports. we are stretched on and top of that, they have refused to increase salaries. ., ., ~'

still way off and even kissing in public could get you arrested but thatis public could get you arrested but that is exactly what they did here 1972 after they march from trafalgar square down to the marble arch at hyde park. they stage a mass case and the police did not arrest them, they walked away. it is those gay liberation front members who, having a march yesterday, they set off from near trafalgar square that will lead this one today in just over a0 minutes' time and from here with a crowd of what is expected to be around 30,000 people taking part in the march they will head down piccadilly and then they will go towards haymarket and end up in trafalgar square and this is such a much bigger event than it started off in 1972. it is very commercial, it is a celebration of the rates that have been achieved for the lgbt community but it is still a process at its heart and there will be plenty of people here waving banners come fancy dress, with the rainbow

flags and calling for equality even today 50 years later. you mention the rates that _ today 50 years later. you mention the rates that have _ today 50 years later. you mention the rates that have been - today 50 years later. you mention | the rates that have been achieved. tell is more what has changed in the last 50 years? like tell is more what has changed in the last 50 years?— last 50 years? like i said, back in 1972, last 50 years? like i said, back in 1972. same-sex _ last 50 years? like i said, back in 1972, same-sex attraction - last 50 years? like i said, back in 1972, same-sex attraction was i 1972, same—sex attraction was classified as a mental illness. people could be arrested if they kissed in public. it was not until 92 that it was declassified as a mental illness. the age of consent for gay people was 21, five years older than frustrate couple as well. it was illegal to serve in the military if you were gay. that was in place until 2000 and it was after that that civil partnership on gay marriage was introduced and of course, in the 80s, very difficult time with the aids crisis and section 28 which made it effectively illegal to teach anything about homosexuality in schools, that was in place until the early 2000. all these difficulties, all these bases where they have crossed and they fought for will be celebrated here today but they are still calling for

more equality. sexuality are still criminalised end around about 70 countries and hate crime is still a very real problem among the lgbt community facing that persecution so those are some of the issues that they will be marching on here today and like you said, round about a million people set to come into london part in that. 30,000 people on the march and sets of on midday. mexico's president has inaugurated a giant new oil refinery. president andres manuel lopez 0brador said the facility would help to make mexico less dependent on buying processed motor fuels from abroad. cutting the ribbon on the refinery, the president said mexico's sovereignty was undermined by importing nearly all its petrol and diesel from the us. environmentalists say the fossil fuel refinery is an anachronism. the grammy winning singer adele played a huge gig in london's hyde park last night — herfirst public concert in five years.

here's lizo mzimba. # hello, it's me # i was won... oh, i'm so happy to be here! an emotional adele playing at hyde park. # to go over... help me! her first full live show since 2017. # they say that time's supposed to heal you # but i ain't done much healing # hello from the other side! and the first after leaving thousands of fans disappointed after postponing a las vegas residency. tonight's verdict? she's the best we've ever seen, absolutely outstanding. amazing. amazing, amazing. delighted, it was brilliant. and the set, just — she did everything you ever wanted to hear. the performance was amazing, it was great. yep, her first concert. she loved it, didn't you? loved it! but tonight has been more than just an evening of adele. it's been a day—long celebration of women in music,

with an all—female lineup of supporting acts for one of the biggest musical events of the year. # when a woman wants her man from acts like gabrielle, whom adele adored growing up... # i'm telling you i got a master plan # you been on my mind for a while now # trying to get you off # �*cause this ain't right now ..to a collection of new artists like mahalia, who was delighted to be part of such a symbolic line—up. i would say in the past a lot of festival line—ups have been pretty much male—dominated, and i think we are seeing a shift. but i think we as women also have to be a part of the change, we have to put ourselves forward to do those bills, to do those lineups, and i think you can really see that we're all trying to put ourselves in everyone's faces. will it make a big difference, do you think? i hope so, i really do hope so. because there's a demand for it, there's women like myself who want to see other women on stage, and so many other people that want to see their favourite female acts as well.

so hopefully it does, yeah. # tainted view of us it's an issue that has become more prominent in recent years... # trying! ..with many applauding what adele has done on her return to live performing after a long five years for her fans. # we're both none the wiser # lizo mzimba, bbc news, hyde park. hello. there'll be some decent sunny spells out there for a fair few of us at times this weekend, but always be on the lookout for the skies darkening, showers will never be too far away from the forecast throughout this weekend and there will be a cool breeze to go with it. temperatures down a little bit where we normally expect

for this stage injuly. the bulk of today's rain is linked to this weather system here. it's linking across scotland at the moment in the far north and north west. this is where we'll continue to see the more persistent rain. this one here drifting through the midlands in the direction of east anglia and south east, producing showery bursts of rain, eventually reaching the south east into the evening but the bulk of the day remains dry. but where we started with cloud and rain through northern ireland, southern scotland, northern england, wales and including the north and west midlands, things will turn dry and brighter with more sunshine around through the afternoon. still one or two showers, a bit of a keen breeze coming in from the south west and then those cloudier moments that will make it feel a touch on the cool side, 16 to 19 degrees — below par. but we could still get around 2021, east anglia, south east. by this evening there will be a few showers pushing through, not everyone will see them, though and into the night many will become dry again. further outbreaks are in the far north of scotland and then a few showers developing in the west later on in the night. temperatures as we start your sunday morning, very similar to what they were this morning,

around nine to 12 celsius. so into sunday we go, a dry and bright start for the vast majority, always a bit cloudy across some of these western districts. a few showers around here as we start the day. those showers, as a westerly wind kicks in, will track their way eastwards and so through the afternoon, it's eastern areas most prone to some showers, the odd heavy one across eastern parts of northern england, especially. and that means fewer showers in the west, a brighter end to the day with a lot more sunshine around. now, because there's big gaps between the showers some of you will stay completely dry throughout and it will feel a touch warmer than today. temperatures up a degree or so for most parts of the country. then as we go into the rest of next week, we're going to see is high pressure gradually and slowly build in from the west, but around the top end of it will start to bring a lot of cloud in off the atlantic. that high pressure not fully with us until we head in towards next weekend. so it does mean an outlook across northern half of the uk, plenty cloud around, some drizzle around coasts and hills. there'll be a few brighter breaks here and there, which will lift the temperatures every now and again. whereas the further south and east

you are, this is where we'll see the best of the sunshine, lightest of the winds as we go through the week and it's here where temperatures by the end of the week could be into the mid—20s. hello, this is bbc news. i'm rebecca jones. the headlines... president biden promises the federal government will safeguard womens' rights to travel within the us to get an abortion. the federal government will act to protect her bedrock rights. ukraine wants turkey to detain a russian—flagged ship which it says is carrying stolen grain. french airport workers strike over pay and conditions, leaving holidaymakers stranded as flights are cancelled. and adele — performing herfirst public concert in five years — leaves her sell—out crowd
