disruption for passengers this summer", and is working with airports on the possibility of additional night flights, which would be subject to consultation. our business reporter noor nanji has more. we've already seen big queues at airports this summer. now come warnings of more disruption with a new wave of flight cancellations expected to be announced next week. the cancellations are triggered by an amnesty on take—off and landing slots, which ends this friday. it compounds existing problems. we are now right in the midst of the peak summer travel season but we are still experiencing problems of lack of manpower, not only for airlines but across airports, ground handlers and even in some cases border control staff, so the mix of high volumes and lack of people is causing a tremendous dislocation at many airports. british airways services from heathrow are likely to bear the brunt of the cancellations. a spokesperson from the airline told the bbc that they welcome

the new measures, adding "it would make it easier to consolidate some of our quieter daily flights to multifrequency destinations well in advance and to protect more of our holiday flights". add to that the threat of strikes from ba cabin and ground crews over a pay dispute. so what should you do if you are caught up in all this? crucially, i know what my rights are if anything's cancelled, and that's to get a replacement flight on the same day if there is anything available to take me there at the airline's expense. and then furthermore, hotel accommodation if need be and compensation if it's the airline's fault, which if it is technical issues or a staff shortage, it generally is. in europe, there is more bad news with strikes there, too, including by cabin crew at airlines ryanair and easyjet. after two years of covid rules, this should be a summer of escape. but for holiday—makers, there is fears of delays and cancellations are not going away.

matt holgate from ilfracombe on the north devon coast is stranded in geneva — his easyjet flight has been rebooked four times since thursday. he told us about his predicament. well, we were booked for a hiking holiday at the beginning ofjune, the original flight was booked for the 4th of june. standing in the check—in queue, we got cancelled, got the flight cancelled, on the way out to nice. by the time we had re—put details into the app, all the flights had been cancelled. we then decided to change our plans and then fly into geneva instead of nice and do our holiday backwards.

so, we managed to get out, we had a great time hiking around, we had a flight booked for the 30th ofjune to get back in time for my son's birthday, which is today. and then for myself to get back to work on monday. consequently, we got the e—mail from easyjet to say that the flight had been cancelled, would you like to rebook? so we rebooked for the following day, on friday. we had to move hotels, dates, which cost us money. we then proceeded the next day and had another e—mail saying that the next flight was on friday and had been cancelled, would you like to rebook?

they didn't offer flights either on friday or the saturday for me to get home, so we cancelled the flight, and then found out via easyjet�*s website, rather than the app, that they were available flights, but they never offered them to us. so, i had to pay for a new flight, which was nearly £200 more than the original flight, which again, another few days before the flight we had confirmation that the flight had been delayed, cancelled. joiing me now is lisa minot the sun's travel editor with more on the travel disruption millions are facing. it millions are facing. is a nightmare. i it millions are facina. is a niahtmare. . ., a it is a nightmare. i fell victim to a ba plane _ it is a nightmare. i fell victim to a ba plane that _ it is a nightmare. i fell victim to a ba plane that went _ it is a nightmare. i fell victim to a ba plane that went tech - it is a nightmare. i fell victim to a ba plane that went tech on i a ba plane that went tech on thursday. we were due to take off at 8:25pm, thursday evening, and we

eventually took off at three o'clock on friday afternoon with many other people impacted by that having to spend the night on the floor at the airport. so, ido spend the night on the floor at the airport. so, i do appreciatejust how stressful situation is for people when they are caught up in it. interestingly, the guest you just had on, really, he should have been getting on to easyjet. i know it is not easy to get hold of them and demand that they put him on any other airline. and demand that they put him on any otherairline. he and demand that they put him on any other airline. he shouldn't have to accept easyjet delaying his flight by 24—hour is. they should be asking to get back by any other means, even with another airline, back on the day of his original flight. but this just shows you how chaotic the situation is, and particularly to these destinations where there are multiple flights a day. that is where the airlines are looking at their schedules and going, we don't need five flights a day to geneva, let's just do three. it makes sense but if you can't get onto one of those three flights, that is when you see the situation that has happened there. it is really

chaotic. hopefully, the moves that the government has asked the airline to slim down their schedules, airports are saying we are going to have less light taking off, hopefully that will mean that people start to see a slightly more positive view, rather than the very chaotic scenes we have seen the last few days. chaotic scenes we have seen the last few da s. ., , ., , .,, few days. so, what should people watchin: few days. so, what should people watching here _ few days. so, what should people watching here in _ few days. so, what should people watching here in the _ few days. so, what should people watching here in the uk _ few days. so, what should people watching here in the uk who - few days. so, what should people watching here in the uk who have few days. so, what should people i watching here in the uk who have a flight booked over the next few months be doing? it is notjust heathrow experiencing problems. do you just have to wait until the day and hope for the best? how can you be sure you will get away when you plan to? be sure you will get away when you [an to? ., ., plan to? the government are saying the want plan to? the government are saying they want the _ plan to? the government are saying they want the allies _ plan to? the government are saying they want the allies to _ plan to? the government are saying they want the allies to make - plan to? the government are saying they want the allies to make the - they want the allies to make the cancellations far further in advance. —— want the airlines. they physically can't actually process that number of people through the airports, that is what they are trying to avoid because that creates chaos, people being told at check—in, at the gate, sometimes, that their flight is cancelled, that is not right. the airlines need to

start cancelling flights now in next two months so people have noticed, they can make other plans, they can change their plans for holidays or trips, but you need to note is to be able to do that. and hopefully that is what is going to be happening with this. the slot amnesty as well, the fact that airlines are no longer required to operate 70% of their schedules just to retain those slots. forsomewhere schedules just to retain those slots. for somewhere like heathrow, though slots are worth millions and is pounds to the airlines. having not to do that will make a big difference because it can mean airlines will cancel flights without the fear that they will lose that slot and perhaps another airline who isn't as in a bad position canjump in, take the slot, and that will free up other flights to be available to the public. the government _ available to the public. the government are _ available to the public. the government are looking at easing night—time restrictions but even allowing the prosody of more flights, are they going to be the people to crew the planes and working the airport? because it is staff shortages that are causing these problems. that

staff shortages that are causing these problems.— staff shortages that are causing these problems. staff shortages that are causing these roblems. ., , ., these problems. that could be a way of lookin: these problems. that could be a way of looking at — these problems. that could be a way of looking at trying _ these problems. that could be a way of looking at trying to _ these problems. that could be a way of looking at trying to relieve - these problems. that could be a way of looking at trying to relieve the - of looking at trying to relieve the problem is that i am not sure how that will help. having flights at different times of the day or night will not address the pure problem of the fact that they don't have enough people. we have a shortage of staff across the entire aviation industry and that is from the airline crew, through baggage handlers, caterers, cleaners, security staff, board of falstaff, and the airports themselves. it really is not a situation that lies at night will sell. it really is a state about the number of people they have working a 19 time. night flights, obviously, i think half the reason why a lot of these airlines are struggling to fill the spaces is that it is quite anti—social hours for not great pay, and people who perhaps did these jobs in the pandemic before the pandemic, where they let go or decided to move into a more stable industry, they are not willing to come back, and i think that is the real challenge for airlines and airports.

sons because she wants to educate her sons and to show respect for women. there are local politicians, national leaders who have come to show their respects. the family has said that zara was a brave and fearless and independent young woman, she was 35 years old, she had just secured a job at the royal courts ofjustice and was an aspiring lawyer. one have her friends told me she would have been fully in favour of of what has happened here today, that people are walking to demonstrate their demand for change and for solutions of this very, very pertinent and important issue in their words. yesterday, jordan mcsweeney, 29—year—old from dagenham in east london appeared in court. he is charged with zara's

murder, blairgowrie, and attempted rape. the family said they do not want sara's life not to be defined by her death. they have said they want zara to be remembered as the brave and independent woman that she was. —— charged with murder, burglary, and attempted rape. 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. this afternoon, a spokesman for the foreign office issued a statement, saying... our ukraine correspondentjoe inwood in kyiv had this update. 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. and if this follows the same pattern as it did for shaun pinner, aidan aslin and brahim saaudun, the three men who were charged and sentenced to death, then they will be put in front and if this follows the same pattern as it did for shaun pinner, aiden aslin and brahim saaudun, the three men who were charged and sentenced to death, then they will be put in front of an unrecognised court in a process which could last any length of time, really. but 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. but i think probably what we need to do is read behind what's going on here. and 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. so, their families will be hoping that whatever the outcome of any trial, and we probably should expect that to happen, that acutally we will probably see that actually we will probably see

a prisoner swap at some time. although, as ever, these things are very uncertain. the headlines on bbc news... warnings of further disruption for air travellers this summer — with more flights set to be cancelled in the coming weeks at heathrow — the uk's busiest airport. a vigil is held in east london — dedicated to zara aleena — who was killed as she walked home from a night out. two more britons captured by russian forces in ukraine have have been charged with being mercenaries — according to russian state media. sport, let's get a full roundup, from the bbc sport centre. thank you very much. good afternoon. let's head straight to wimbledon. disappointment already for britain's katie boulter in the third round against harmony tan. chethan pathak�*s at the all england club and chetan — what went wrong for boulter? the latest? full, he is the only hope today for the british fans

as a poo, 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 poo 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. 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 went on to say that only democratic victories in the mid—term

elections would give congress the power to restore federal abortion 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. the amount of people in the uk falling victim to fraud is expected to increase sharply according to her majesty's inspector of constabulary, matt parr. mr parr described an ever—increasing tide of damage being done to people — with no realistic plans to stop it. he was speaking to the bbc�*s money box programme. we've done a couple of reports into the way policing deals with fraud and they haven't been very complimentary. there are some great people doing their best as ever but they simply haven't got the resources and we saw lots of examples of packages put together by the national fraud intelligence bureau that then are sent out to police forces around the country, and then nothing happens. and even when it does,

the chances of it resulting in a conviction are extremely low. and so that is the frustration. it has been pointed out before that fraud is probably best estimated between a third and two fifths of all crime. if you are an adult, you are much more likely to be a victim of fraud than any other crime type. but despite that magnitude of offending, it attracts less than i% of police officers, fraud investigators. and i think we've said quite clearly in the past that just seems far too low. earlier, i spoke to moneybox reporter dan whitworth, who told me how widespread the problem was. fraud is an epidemic in this country. matt parr was speaking to us on money box in the context ofjust a few days ago, there were figures released by uk finance, the trade industry business body for the banking and financial sector and it described how a certain type of fraud where victims are tricked

and manipulated into transferring money to criminals themselves, that was up by 46% in the course of just one year. to put it another way, that is £500 million that was stolen from 200,000 people in just the last year, so within those numbers, investment scams are up, 60%, £266 million stolen, romance fraud scams, so not just the financial hit but the emotional hit as well, they are up as well, a 77% increase in the space of a year, to see £30 million stolen from just over 3000 victims. fraud is a big, big problem in the uk. staggering figures. why has it gone so bad? criminals, fundamentally, are extremely good at theirjob. they are ruthlessly efficient at many plating people, they are very good at social engineering, and social engineering

they are ruthlessly efficient at manipulating people, they are very good at social engineering, and social engineering is when, for example, they harvest data from people, that people might put up online voluntarily, on social media. also, you might get a scam text, oh, you missed a delivery from royal mail, or here you can get details of the covid vaccine. if you enter any details in there, a week later you might get a call from someone pretending to be your bank, they have your name and address, it is easy for them to manipulate people into thinking they have your name and address, it is easy for them to manipulate people into thinking you are calling from their bank. so, these criminals are a master at their craft. there are not enough resources going into what is such a significant crime for so many people. i know, certainly, the banking sector and law enforcement indeed want greater collaboration between technology companies, social media sites, the telecoms industry, but it is a big problem because criminals are so good at it and there is not enough prevention in this country.

i have nearly fallen for so many of those text in the past, asking for details, or money for a payment from royal mail. you say there are not enough resources going into preventing it, what can be done? i think a lot of responsibility lies on the individuals and to do with awareness. you almost fall for these things but luckily you don't but they can catch people when they are vulnerable, so a lot is to do with awareness, and people have to be aware that there are horrible people out there trying to steal your money. and as the uk goes more digital, as we get banking apps on our smartphone, that money can be stolen in a matter of minutes. the government is putting £100 million pounds and trying to tackle fraud. it has launched a review into how to tackle this. many of us will be hoping there are some real concrete moves in their that will see this epidemic of fraud tackled.

thousands of people are marching through london in the city's first pride parade since 2019. celebrations were postponed for two years because of the coronavirus pandemic. it's also the 50th anniversary of london's first pride in 1972. our lgbt & identity correspondent lauren moss has been following the parade which set off from hyde park corner. everyone started crowding around down here around 10, 11 o'clock. hundreds, thousands of people now gathered to watch the parade that set offjust an hour ago. and 50 years ago, this is it actually all finished. 50 years later, 2022, it's where it all started. and under that archway there the gay liberation front, the group you just mentioned, led the march of 30,000, setting off down towards piccadilly, to haymarket and the theatre district, and they will end up in trafalgar square where they will make a series of speeches and there will be live music and concerts in trafalgar square and other stages across london throughout the day. and indeed, there have been pride events taking place last month, in pride month, injune, and will continue to do so over

the next several weeks. and you can hearjust the cheering behind me, the rainbow flags, everywhere you look there is colour. and after a three—year break because of the covid—19 pandemic, there is no doubt about it, pride is back, it's loud and it is very proud. and while this is a celebration at its heart, everyone here sounding very happy, pride was started as a protest in 1972. the gay liberation front that we mentioned just before, started it all off again today, when they organise that rally 50 years ago homosexuality was still classified as a mental illness. they could have been arrested or kissing each other in the streets, which they did. although, on that day, nobody was arrested. very different atmosphere here today. many people, though, will say that the fight for equality still isn't over, notjust here in the uk but around the world. where homosexuality is still criminalised in a about 70 countries. so it is a celebration, it is a protest, it is going to go

on for quite some time here in london, finishing at around
