the charges were reported by russian state media. andrew hill is believed to have been caught while fighting with ukrainian forces while dylan healy was arrested doing humanitarian work. our correspondentjoe inwood is monitoring events from the ukrainian capital, kyiv. joe, tell us what you can about where they are and what happens to them now? so, it is most likely they are being held in the donetsk people's republic, one of the breakaway republics in the east of this country. if this follows the same pattern as it did for sean penn, aidan haslam, then they will be put in front of an unrecognised court, in front of an unrecognised court, in a process which could last any length of time, really. it is possible they will plead guilty, as the other three men did, despite the fact they were not fighting, or at least one of them was not fighting,

for the ukrainians. what we probably need to do is read behind what is going on here. there is a lot of speculation that actually this is being directed by the kremlin and what they are trying to do is put these men's lives in danger as a sort of negotiating tactic. their families will be hoping that whatever the outcome of any trial, and we probably should that —— expect that to happen, we will probably see a prisoner swap at some time. but as ever, these things are very uncertain. jae time. but as ever, these things are very uncertain-— a parliamentary watchdog is to examine allegations of sexual misconduct by the former conservative deputy chief whip chris pincher. the mp resigned from his role earlier this week after being accused of groping two men at a private members' club, and has now been suspended from the conservative party. our political correspondent helen catt has more. the party said it would not prejudge the investigation and urged people to respect the process.

attraction was still classified as a mental illness and they could have been arrested for kissing on the street. many milestones reached since then. the equality act, civil partnerships, same six marriage etc. today, when1 million people are expected to turn out, 30,000 people marching in london alone, it is a celebration of all of those milestones reached. but it is still a process. people will be protesting for equality within the lgbt community. they will be also making a protest about how homosexuality is still criminalised in so many countries around the world. the march is just about to set off. it will head down piccadilly towards trafalgar square, where they will be lots of live music and speeches. lauren moss at hyde park corner. in rugby union all the home nations are in action today. england are currently taking on australia in perth. earlier ireland were beaten by new zealand by 42—19. ireland opened the scoring in auckland, but the all blacks hadn't lost at eden park

well today did mark the biggest matches in the grade of two british players. the tournament organisers came in for —— for some flak for not putting katie boulter on centre court, given that honour to young star coco graf, petra kvitova and rafael nadal. instead, at 11am, katie boulter walked out onto a half empty number two court and she seemed to miss the big atmosphere that she credited with helping her stone last year's runner—up, karoline pliskova, in the second round. she found life very hard against the wimbledon debut —— debutant harmony tan, likened to a fiendish seagull —— sudoku by the commentary team. katie boulter has been beaten 6—1, 6—1 injust under an hour. disappointment there. later today, hoping to lift the mood a number one record behind me, will be liam broady. he is playing the 19th

seed alex de minaur, who demonstrated his relentlessly high level of play a couple of nights ago against jack level of play a couple of nights ago againstjack draper. you have level of play a couple of nights ago against jack draper. you have to think liam broady may struggle. were he to make it through, it would be the first time since 1979 that britain has had three or more players through to the last 16. laura, thanks. that's it from us. the news where you are is coming up on bbc one. we'll be back a five o'clock this afternoon. bye for now.

hello. you're watching the bbc news channel. russian state media is reporting that two british men have been charged with "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. dominik byrne is from the humanitarian aid agency the presidium network, which works on the ground with communities in war zones. he's been in contact with dylan's family. they seem very, the moment and kind of understand the process under trust in the process. i do know that they're having regular conversations with both the british government and the red cross and the red cross as being really good at trying to monitor the situation the best that they can and they are actually trying to get access to devon at the moment to sure his welfare is ok and being treated ok. but of course they are very scared. they want their son home as quick as possible. and they are worried about the situation. a vigil will be held in east london

today in memory of zara aleena — the 35—year—old solicitor who was killed while she walked home from a night out last weekend. zara's friends, family — and anyone who wishes to join the event — will walk in silence along the same route which she took. a 29—year—old man has been charged with her murder. celestina olulode as more. zara aleena — described by herfamily as insightful, empathetic, independent and fearless. she had a really big heart. and so she would very easily connect with people's pain, very easily connect with their need, and she was always the bigger person. "i'll help you, i'll sort that out." her mother's only child, the 35—year—old was at the start of her legal career when her life ended suddenly. last weekend she was attacked on her way home in ilford, east london.

zara's aunt fara says she's speaking out to protect the rights of all women. this is the most horrific experience that we've had as a family, that we've experienced and that zara's experienced. and there's nothing that can change that for us. but there is something we can do. and that is to say that this shouldn't have happened. she shouldn't have had her entitlement to walk home taken away. zara's family have invited friends, loved ones and those affected to walk the 10—minute journey home from where she was attacked. we'll never get through this. but it will help us. somehow, in some way, it will help us. celestina olulode, bbc news.

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. there's been a huge rise in the number of people checking bowel cancer symptoms on the nhs website, following the death of dame deborahjames.visits to the website increased from 2,000 on tuesday to 23—thousand on wednesday. dame deborah had been living with the illness since 2016, and worked tirelessly to raise awareness of its symptoms — and reduce the embarrassment of discussing them. graham satchell reports. dame deborahjames dressed up as a to, to raise awareness of the symptoms of bowel cancer. in posts on social media, she took people through the common signs. again and again, she urged anyone who had worries never to be embarrassed, and to see their gp. dame deborah died on tuesday. her tireless campaigning has had a remarkable impact. this morning, nhs england has revealed a tenfold increase in traffic to their webpages

about bowel cancer, up from an average of 2,000 a day to more than 23,000 on wednesday, the day after dame deborah died. deborah did the unthinkable, in getting people to talk about bowel cancer and encouraging people not to be embarrassed or prudish. so deborah was just an extraordinary spirit, full of courage and determination, to raise awareness about the importance of early detection, because generally if you detect cancer early, the chances of cure are much greater. in a statement, the health secretary for england, sajid javid, said: deb is sat next to me in a to costume. are you going to wear that for the whole podcast? well, the problem is, because it's designed for a 6—year—old, i can't really breathe in it. deborah's last words, posted on instagram, were "check your poo,

it mightjust save your life." today shows the impact her words are already having, and the countless lives that will be saved as a result. graham satchell, bbc news. 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 would assign out there that says concealed carry guns are welcome here. also going to be expanding the disqualifying criteria for a permit. expanding the disqualifying criteria fora permit. for expanding the disqualifying criteria for a permit. for example, expanding the disqualifying criteria fora permit. for example, if you have a history of dangerous behaviour, you should not be able to get a gun... behaviour, you should not be able to geta gun... he behaviour, you should not be able to get a gun... he leered. it isjust common sense. it is just common sense. the grammy winning singer adele played a huge gig in london's hyde park last night — herfirst public concert in five years. she told the audience of 65—thousand fans that she was "so happy" to be back on stage. 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. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. 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.
