1:38 pm

1:39 pm
has been concentrated in the east of the country, the region known as the donbas. over the weekend, ukrainian forces withdrew from lysychansk in the luhansk region. that came after the fall of another strategic city, severodonetsk, a few weeks ago. that's given the russians effective control of the whole of luhansk. their sights are now thought to be set on taking the neighbouring donetsk region with the towns of slovyansk and kramatorsk likely their next targets. overall, it now means russia controls more than a fifth of ukraine and looks to be seeking more. russia might still want to take the coast, building on its seizure of crimea in 2014 by taking 0desa and cutting off ukraine from the black sea. but that may be a step too far since they were recently pushed off the symbolically important snake island. so, is russia now winning the war?
1:40 pm
despite early setbacks, russia certainly has had real tactical victories in recent weeks in the east, but it has been slow going with significant losses. and the real question is, will russia be able to maintain this progress? it certainly has the manpower and firepower to keep going, but ukraine is hoping it can slow the russians and then launch counter—offensives to push back. crucial to that is the arrival of weaponry from the west, like this and other long—range artillery systems which are now slowly making their way to the battlefield. they could help shift the balance. so, russia has made gains recently, but we may now be entering a new phase in the war where the outcome is less clear and it may depend on each side's ability to sustain the fight for the long haul. meanwhile, in the last hour nato
1:41 pm
secretary generaljens stoltenberg has said that the process to ratify sweden and finland as members of nato has been formally launched. it marks a historic step brought on by russia's invasion of ukraine. last week in madrid, allied leaders agreed to invite finland and sweden to join the alliance following the agreement of a trilateral memorandum between turkiye, finland and sweden. so today we will formally sign the protocols of accession. this marks the start of the ratification process. nato's door remains open to european democracies who are ready to and willing to contribute to our shared security. this is a good day for finland and sweden and a good day for nato. with 32 nations around the table, we will be able to be even stronger and our people will be even safer as we face the biggest security crisis in decades.
1:42 pm

1:51 pm
but leo witnessed what happened. he had all the documentation of a real oil collection until i saw the van. and straightaway, he told me where our oil was and we don't tell anyone where our oil is. they were so persistent in trying to steal the oil, that they will go to any length. and the reason why staff wanted to intervene is becausejust days before, the pub did have its oil stolen. they seem to be coming early in the morning and we caught them actually stealing the oil. and they actually ran through the traffic to escape. it is a real, real struggle in the hospitality trade. prices are going up every single week. it is very, very hard at the moment. i'm struggling myself to try and make the business work. the theft of cooking oil from pubs and restaurants isn't a new phenomenon. around ten years ago, it was thought to have cost the country around £25 million in lost revenue, but of course now, it is a much, much bigger problem. the reason? the huge rise in fuel costs.
1:52 pm
the oil cannot be used as fuel on its own, so whoever is stealing it has to put it through a chemical process. and there has been an increase in thefts this year across the region. i suspect it is cross—border criminality. that is certainly what our incidents are suggesting. so i've been liaising with other forces and i believe in their rural areas they are experiencing the same sort of trends that we have been. a man from enfield has been arrested on suspicion of assault and theft. following the incident, the team have since invested in better security to protect their cooking oil from theft. the bank of england has warned the global economic outlook has deteriorated markedly since december. it's just announced the results of its latest financial stability report, which found banks would still be able to continue to lend, even if the economic outlook darkened.
1:53 pm
heres our economics correspondent andy verity. it's those global inflationary pressures that the bank of england's acknowledging here, not really telling us anything that you and i haven't reported already. that the situation has deteriorated markedly, there are already inflationary pressures because of the pandemic. then you have the war in ukraine, that's made it worse, but what it's saying here is as far as the stability of the financial system goes, the concern we had in the global financial crisis 14 years ago that the banks would go under, that isn't a worry. they've got plenty of resilience, they're saying, and they should be able to still lend to households and businesses who want to borrow, but, indeed, there's pressure on those households and businesses, the banks saying that businesses are going to struggle if monetary conditions tighten further,
1:54 pm
in other words if interest rates go up, but it says actually households are ok. they haven't seen a significant increase in the amount that households are playing to service their debts, partly because of those emergency cost of living measures that were announced a few weeks back so that has softened the blow. it is shaping up to be quite a summer of sport but perhaps the jewel of the sporting crown has been taking in a field in south—west england as the bbc�*s tim allman explains. this is where horticulture meets motor racing. a sort of high—speed gardening, if you will. how else can you put it
1:55 pm
than ready, steady, mow! these are the lawnmower world championships, an annual event that dates back nearly half a century, which would be an awful lot of cut grass, except they take the blades out, just to be on the safe side. there are enough crazy people out there who want to jump on a mower, tweak it up and go hurtling around a field during the summer months. and long may it last! there are various different categories of lawnmower, with some bigger than others, but this is fundamentally a very egalitarian kind of sport. it doesn't drive like anything that you've ever driven before, so you have to learn it from scratch. all the engines are the same, the equipment is pretty much all the same. so everyone is on a level. the weather was not ideal but over the course of two days, we witnessed
1:56 pm
some pretty high endurance lawnmowing. this is grassroots motorsports. quite literally. my lawnmower doesn't look like that! it has continued warming up this week particularly across england and wales and more cloud around across scotland and northern ireland at times. today, pretty similar, most of the cloud across the north and west of the country, best of the dry and sunny weather across england and wales. this weather front working in to northern ireland and western scotland as we move into this evening and that'll bring thicker cloud and rain, sometimes turning heavy and persistent over north—west scotland, dry up at the end of the night across northern ireland. the clear skies across the south and south—east where once
1:57 pm
again we could see temperatures in single digits out of town but quite a warm and muggy night for the north and west. wednesday is a similar story, spots of rain for part of scotland, england and wales with most of the sunshine and best temperatures. we could wreak 24 celsius in the warm spots. further north mid to high teens. more of a breeze as well. pollen levels lower across the north of the uk. 0ne breeze as well. pollen levels lower across the north of the uk. one or two sports could see very high pollen levels which could be quite uncomfortable. play continues on wednesday pretty much uninterrupted, variable cloud, some sunshine, like the breeze in the west and top temperatures of 24 celsius. similar story for thursday. plenty of sunshine again, a variable cloud in england and wales, cloud figures for scotland and northern ireland and the odd spot of rain for western
1:58 pm
hills. temperatures creeping up. reaching 26 celsius possible in the south—east. friday, similar story, could see thicker cloud with outbreaks rain. temperatures up across the board, reaching 21 celsius in belfast and may be 27 celsius in belfast and may be 27 celsius in belfast and may be 27 celsius in the south—east. this high pressure continues to win out as we move into the weekend. weather fronts was plaguing the far north of the country with rain and stronger breeze. more cloud across scotland in particular. northern ireland is well over the weekend. still quite warm but further south more sunshine around it'll be a lot warmer particularly the south—east.
1:59 pm
2:00 pm
this is bbc news. i'm shaun ley. the headlines at 2: a former top civil servant says borisjohnson was briefed in person about a formal complaint concerning inappropriate behaviour by the mp chris pincher — directly contradicting the account from downing street. i know that the senior official briefed the prime minister in person, because that official told me so at the time. trying to move on from the issue in cabinet this morning — but questions are now swirling about the account given to senior ministers who've defended the prime minister in public. a distinction that is being drawn is awareness of a complaint that may
