this is bbc news. there are 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. the conservative mp, chris pincher, who is under investigation for allegedly groping two men says he's seeking "professional medical support" and hopes to return to his duties as an mp "as soon as possible". more than a million people have gathered on the streets on london for pride — as the lgbt plus community marks 50 years since the first march. and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers lucy beresford and joe twyman — stay with us for that.

good evening. there are warnings of further disruption for air travellers this summer with more flights expected to be cancelled in the next few days — including at heathrow, britain's busiest airport. it's thought airlines will change their summer schedules, with the aim of giving passengers more certainty and less need for last minute cancellations. paul charles is a travel industry consultant with the pc agency. he says this year's passengers will face a disappointing summer over the next eight weeks. i'm afraid this is going to be a summer of stress after two years where many of us have been unable to travel due to covid lockdowns, notjust in the uk but in many parts of the world. what you're going to see over the next few days are thousands of flight cancellations by british airways and others because they have a window

in which they can effectively hand back the slots that they use for taking off and landing at airports like heathrow. and with this window, it means there's no penalty for them. they also want to give consumers more than 1a days�* notice of any cancellation because, if they give more than two weeks�* notice, it means they won't have to pay compensation to those of us who find flights cancelled. so the next few days are going to be very, very tricky indeed. the planes are, of course, available, but there aren't enough people around who can get the baggage onto or off a plane or help with security processing. every part of the airport infrastructure is a pinch point at the moment, and that's why airports like heathrow and gatwick are asking airlines to cap the number of flights they're flying each day. so on top of the government's slot rule being changed in this window

until friday for airlines to hand back their slots, plus the airport's asking for caps, then you're seeing a lot of flights cancelled over the next few days. it's going to be a very stressful period for all of us who've got flights booked. the last thing you want is that email coming through from the airline cancelling the flight. of course, it's worth bearing mind, over 90% of flights will still be operating as normal. but for those of us on the other 5—10% that are cancelled over the next eight weeks, it's going to be a pretty grim time. the former conservative deputy chief whip, chris pincher — who stepped down when sexual misconduct claims were made against him — has said he's now seeking professional medical support. he was suspended from the tory party following allegations he groped two men at a private members club in london on wednesday. mr pincher said he hoped to return to his duties as mp for tamworth in staffordshire as quickly as possible. our political correspondent helen catt has more. in chris pincher�*s constituency of tamworth in staffordshire this morning, it was all quiet. mr pincher himself has not spoken publicly since he resigned as the deputy chief whip on thursday

night after being accused of groping two men at the private carlton club in london. he said in his resignation letter that he had "drunk far too much" and embarrassed himself. he remains the mp for tamworth. some constituents told us they were unhappy at his behaviour. very disappointed in him because we've always voted tory and we always will. and i love boris. and it's a shame he has to take the flak for all of it. it's not right, is it? it's wrong. he's there to look after the people in tamworth, and he does things like this. he is meant to be representing the town and that is not - representation that you really want. i think it's disgraceful and it is now time he left. a formal complaint has now been made to parliament's independent complaints and grievance scheme, which investigates allegations of sexual misconduct. the prime minister and the chief whip agreed to suspend mr pincher from sitting as a conservative while an investigation is carried out. there's been criticism from opposition parties and some conservative mps about the length

of time it took to come around to a decision that many had felt was pretty inevitable. labour said it showed the prime minister had had to be dragged kicking and screaming to suspending chris pincher, who has been one of his key allies. number 10 insisted that it had acted swiftly as soon as a formal complaint had been made. it's the parliamentary watchdog who will examine the facts of the allegations, but it has raised lots more political questions for number 10. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. and my colleague ben brown will have more on that story and much more shortly. the government is reportedly drawing up plans to offer 50—year mortgages that can be passed between generations — allowing more people to build up equity rather than pay rent. it's part of a wider plan to boost home ownership. the scheme would give people the opportunity to pass their home and any outstanding debt on to their relatives.

earlier i spoke to property expert and mortgage broker tayo oguntonade. there are a lot of things that come out about housing and they disappear and then it doesn't help anyone�*s. i think this will attract some attention. if you lend over 50 years it means people can borrow more. what it will effectively seem to do is bridge the gap between wages and house prices, so people will feel like they can get closer to their goal. but the passing debt down generations can have a serious negative impact and i don't think it is realistic either. if negative impact and i don't think it is realistic either.— is realistic either. if this was a really brilliant _ is realistic either. if this was a really brilliant idea _ is realistic either. if this was a really brilliant idea it - is realistic either. if this was a really brilliant idea it would i is realistic either. if this was a i really brilliant idea it would have taken 15 years ago, or ten years ago, wouldn't it?— ago, wouldn't it? absolutely. lenders like _ ago, wouldn't it? absolutely. lenders like to _ ago, wouldn't it? absolutely. lenders like to lend - ago, wouldn't it? absolutely. . lenders like to lend responsibly, ago, wouldn't it? absolutely. - lenders like to lend responsibly, so if a self—employed person wants to take out a mortgage they need to

show two years of accounts. with this 50 year mortgage we are saying an adult can take a mortgage today for 50 years and the lender is going to be willing to give them that mortgage even though they will pass it down to their children, children who may not even have a job at the current period of lending. that's a big stumbling point they have not thought about and it just makes big stumbling point they have not thought about and itjust makes me think it won't be realistic. children who perhaps haven't been born yet. how do those people know that their future children will actually want to take this on? absolutely. one of the great stories in property in the uk is historically you take out a mortgage, pay down all of your debt, your house might have doubled by the time you sell it, and then you have a nice retirement pot and you pass equity to your children. i think this policy is encouraging passing debt to your children, debt your children might not want and that's a fundamental stumbling block with this idea. �* , , ,

this idea. and i guess it underlines a really important _ this idea. and i guess it underlines a really important point _ this idea. and i guess it underlines a really important point that - a really important point that because of the demand there is for property, a limited number, that is pushing up property prices. you've mentioned the huge gap between wages and mortgages and i guess a lot of people would say the government should be looking at ways to build more properties, to make property more properties, to make property more affordable rather than taking on huge debts and longer mortgages. i couldn't agree more. the main issueis i couldn't agree more. the main issue is the shortage of supply. the demand for property in the uk grossly outweighs supply and it has done for a number of years. for a number of years we've been setting targets of the amount of houses we want to build and every single year we are falling short of the amount of houses being built, so we need to tackle that issue first. we need to build more houses to match the supply. that's the main thing we need to focus on at the moment.

more disruption for travellers, with airlines set to announce a new wave of summer flight cancellations in the next few days. the airlines say it will give their customers more certainty — with less need for last—minute cancellations that leave passengers stranded. we've had no real help other than, you know, your flight is cancelled, here's another one, that's cancelled, that's cancelled. also in the programme tonight... fresh allegations about the behaviour of chris pincher — the mp suspended from the conservative party over claims he groped two men. an estimated one million people take part in today's pride parade in london — making it the biggest ever. and a day of drama at wimbledon —

one of the most bad—tempered matches for years, while the women's world number one crashes out. good evening. there are warnings of further disruption for air travellers this summer, with more flights expected to be cancelled in the next few days — including at heathrow, britain's busiest airport. it's thought airlines will change their summer schedules, with the aim of giving passengers more certainty and less need for last—minute cancellations. this from our business reporter noor nanji. after big queues at airports this summer, warnings of more disruption, with a new wave

of flight cancellations expected to be announced next week. we're now right in the midst of the peak summer travel season but we're still experiencing the 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 tremendous dislocation at many airports. the government is allowing an amnesty on airport slot rules, which they say is part of their plan to tackle disruption ahead of the summer season. it means airlines are able to cancel flights without being penalised for not using their slot, but they must finalise their schedules by this friday. british airways services from heathrow are likely to bear the brunt of any cancellations. but ba said the relaxed rules would help them provide certainty to customers by making it easier to consolidate some quieter flights. ba is already facing the threat of summer strikes from cabin and ground crews over a pay dispute.

today, there are already strikes by ryanair and easyjet cabin crew in spain, and some passengers are being stranded across europe. so what should you do if you're caught up in all of this? crucially, i know what my rights are if anything is cancelled and that is to get a replacement flight on the same day if there's anything available that will 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's technical issues or staff shortage, it generally is. but for one passenger who's stuck in geneva after having his flight to bristol cancelled for three days in a row, it's tough. i don't have any available funds to pay for anything. easyjet have said they'll refund me any expenses, but i can't pay for anything at the minute. after two years of covid rules, the travel industry and passengers were hoping for a return

to normality, but for now those fears of delays and cancellations are not going away. and our business reporter noor nanji joins me now. so we've seen serious problems with airlines, but there's been travel disruption today on the railways? that's right. it really feels as if it's another day, another strike, so starting with the railways and around 90% of greater anglia services were cancelled today, due to a strike by train drivers. now, this was a 24—hour walk—out and it coincided with various sports matches as well as concerts by the likes of adele and guns and roses. advice to passengers tomorrow is to check before you travel. another rail firm, check before you travel. another railfirm, trans pennine express, said they'd been forced to cancel a number of its services this weekend due to what it said were staff sickness. now, trans pennine express services have already been impacted

by industrial action in recent weeks. on to buses and passengers they could also expect disruption coming up, after members of the unite union who are employed by stagecoach in merseyside said they were going to be walking out in a dispute over pay, the first strike is set for this coming monday and there are seven more planned over there are seven more planned over the month ofjuly. there are seven more planned over the month ofjuly._ the month ofjuly. noor nan'i, our business reporter, * the month ofjuly. noor nan'i, our business reporter, thank h the month ofjuly. noor nanji, our business reporter, thank you. - the foreign office says it's working closely with the ukrainian government to secure the release of two british men, reported by russian state media to have been charged with being mercenaries. andrew hill and dylan healy were captured by pro—moscow separatists in eastern ukraine in april. the foreign office says it condemns the exploitation of prisoners of war for political purposes. our correspondentjoe inwood reports from kyiv. andrew hill travelled to ukraine to help fight the russian invasion. dylan healy went there to help evacuate civilians. both men now face being tried as mercenaries in an unrecognised separatist court.

they would not be the first to appear there. last month, aiden aslin, shaun pinner and a moroccan man, brahim saaudun, were all sentenced to death by the so—called donetsk people's republic. according to dominic byrne, who is working on their cases, it is no coincidence most of them are british. this really shows that the russians are putting more and more pressure on the british government than other governments and using the british prisoners as more of a political tool and negotiation tool more than others and we believe that's the case because the british government have really seemed to rattled the russians within ukraine. rattled or not, on the battlefields of the east, russia is very much on the advance. they're said to be taking ground in lysychansk, the last part of the luhansk region held by the ukrainians. russia is moving to encircle the city. if they do, they will cut off some of ukraine's most experienced soldiers. but it's notjust the eastern donbas region that has felt the effects

of russia's invasion. the last fortnight have seen attacks right across ukraine. here in the capital, kyiv, at a shopping centre in the town of kremenchuk, and most recently in the resort of serhiyivka. 21 people are now known to have died when three russian missiles struck the popular holiday destination. roman tried to help. translation: everyone who was inside at that i moment, they all died. my neighbour was a very good person. it's a great pity. she simply died in my arms. it's really scary. i don't know how to put it into words. the attack on serhiyivka came just a few hours after russia was driven from the strategically important snake island under massive ukrainian bombardment. russia claimed it left as a gesture of goodwill, but last night returned to bomb the equipment it had been forced to leave behind. joe inwood, bbc news, kyiv. there are fresh allegations tonight about the behaviour

of chris pincher — the mp suspended from the conservative party amid allegations he groped two men. mr pincher resigned as deputy chief whip on thursday, after admitting he had "drunk far too much" and embarrassed himself at the carlton club in london. he now says he's seeking "professional medical support". what are these new claims? five new allegations, in the sunday times and the mail on sunday, stretching back over about a decade. these include things like a conservative party staffer telling the mail that at the conservative conference she stepped in to try to prevent mr pincher making an unwanted advance the allegation is to a young man. two incidents the sunday times reports, of young backbench mps receiving unwanted advancesin backbench mps receiving unwanted advances in parliament. now, we've approached mr pincher, he has not

responded to our request to comment on these. he has told the newspaper is to a young man. two incidents the sunday times reports, of young backbench mps receiving unwanted advancesin backbench mps receiving unwanted advances in parliament. now, we've approached mr pincher, he has not responded to our request to comment on these. he has told the newspapers that he denies these claims and does not recognise who some of the people are in these cases had no complaints were made. he has released a statement saying he will receive medical attention but wants to get back to hisjob medical attention but wants to get back to his job as a constituency mp so has no intention of resigning. it leaves questions about the culture of the party in parliament and mr borisjohnson, mr pincher was a close ally and appointed to deputy chief whip in february, dominic cummings who is critical of boris johnson has said mrjohnson, he claims, may have been aware of some of these general allegations before saying he tweeted mrjohnson used to call him pincher by name, pincher bynature. downing street said he was not aware of any specific allegations. hundreds of people gathered

in east london today, for a vigil to zara aleena, who was killed as she walked home from a night out. a silent walk was held along the route the 35—year—old would have taken in ilford last sunday. a man has been charged with her murder and will appear in court in september. the mayor of london's office says more than a million people took part in today's pride parade in the capital — making it the biggest ever. it marked the fiftieth anniversary of the very first pride march in london - in 1972. our lgbt and identity correspondent lauren moss reports. it's loud, it's proud and it's back where it all began. the pride march took to the streets of london once again, led by the gay liberation front who started it in 1972. generations came together under the rainbow flag, including 17—year—old erin and her mum, vicky, who travelled from leicestershire.

i came out this year to my mum as bi and i've always wanted to come to one of these festivals. when i discovered we'd be down here anyway, because i went to the guns n roses concert yesterday, i asked if we could go and my mum was so for it. i'm so proud of erin, i really am. to see everybody today, it's the most amazing experience. for others, it was a homecoming. jamieson went to his first pride 46 years ago. it's wonderful now to see the progression of what it was and what we have become. and there were some familiar faces. after coming out last month, dame kelly holmes went along for the first time. it's thought around 30,000 people took part in the parade today, passing some of the route the original march took in 1972. it is one of the most colourful celebrations in the country but pride is still a protest at its heart. we're not being complacent. we saw this time last week in oslo, hours before their pride, a terrorist attack leading to two

people being killed and more than 20 being injured. so we can't pretend that there isn't discrimination, bias and violence against people from this community. pride is reaching far and wide across the uk with events from shetland... ..to salisbury, and will continue for the next several weeks. lauren moss, bbc news. now a very busy day of sport — let's get all the details from sarah mulkerrins at the bbc sport centre. thanks, ben. it's been an eventful day at wimbledon, with tempers flaring on court one and a shock defeat for the women's world number one, iga swiatek. our sports correspondentjoe wilson was watching it all. if iga swiatek was reading her results, she'd see nothing but victory. at 37 match winning run had been the talk of world tennis. alize

always would. in the final stages they crept ahead. three welshmen were sin binned to trying to stop them. only one was back on again when incredibly they managed to release dewi lake, somehow wales were level and dan biggar had this kick to put them in front with minutes left. just wide. a fraction from glory now came agony when south africa won a penalty in overtime and there was a breathless victory snatched. earlier in perth an evening of pyrotechnics and short fuses, the story started with a but. darcy swainson off, australia would be down to 1a for most of the match. you wouldn't have known. it was england's defence which looked undermanned, aussie is always a sense weakness. now eddiejones was staring at a fourth defeat in a row. there is a world cup next year. at least there is hoping henry aaron dull, just 19, this was his international debut. if you're an england fan remember the name, just probably try and forget the game.

ireland's task was daunting, new zealand haven't lost at eden park in 28 years. they are awesome in auckland and scored six tries. the good news for ireland is that for the rest of this tour the location changes. the opponents, unfortunately, do not. patrick gearey, bbc news. it was an incredible day at edgbaston, in the rearranged fifth test between england and india. the tourists' stand—in captain jasprit bumrah hit stuart broad for 35 runs in one over — that's the most in test history. india made a16 all out. england are struggling in reply, joe root among the batters gone. they're 8a—5 after a rain—affected second day. the former scotland and rangers goalkeeper andy goram has died at the age of 58 after a short battle with cancer. goram was capped a3 times for his country at football, and four times at cricket. he helped rangers win five scottish premiership titles, as well as five cups. you can read about carlos sainz

taking pole for the british grand prix on the bbc sport website. but from me, goodnight. sarah, thank you very much indeed. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel, but that's all from me. have a good night. pa rt part two of the week and looking unsettled. we will have more showers around, some could be quite heavy in places, may be some rumbles of thunder. the winds, light in the south, quite breezy across northern areas. it's because we have low pressure to the north of the uk, higher to the south, and a couple of weather fronts crossing the country, and these will enhance the shower activity. one such front will be lying over central parts of the uk,

so it'll be cloudy here, showery rain, sunshine across the south, showers quite breezy across scotland and northern ireland. all area seeing sunshine and showers in the afternoon, some showers could be heavyin afternoon, some showers could be heavy in some sections in eastern areas, could turn drier in western areas. top temperature, 22 in the south, in the north generally in the teens. there could be the passing shower in wimbledon but the emphasis will be on dry and showery weather. through sunday night it looks like the showers will fade away. lengthy clear skies across england and wales. scotland and northern ireland will stay breezy with showers or longer spells of rain. around nine 12 across the uk. monday we start off with some sunshine across southern and eastern areas. a few showers developing here into the afternoon. most of them will be across the north and the west of the country leaving longer spells for the north and west of scotland.

temperatures in the mid teens in the north. we could see 23 degrees across the south—east of england. this area of high pressure wants to continue to build into the south—west but around the top of it it'll feed in a lot of cloud to northern and western parts of the country. some cloud getting into the south and east as well. maybe a couple of showers here. top temperature is around 17 to 22. moving deeper into the week, it looks like this area of high pressure will continue to influence our weather, pressure will continue to influence ourweather, pushing pressure will continue to influence our weather, pushing these weather fronts away. but it'll always be cloudy with a chance of some showers and a stronger breeze across the north and the west of the uk for the rest of the week. you can see the cloudy skies across scotland and northern ireland. the further south you are, the better chance of staying dry, and it should turn warmer, perhaps reaching 26 degrees on friday.
