but they didn't, they let him die there, and i want to know, why they let him die? why did they let him die? mr urey was held by pro—russian separatist forces and accused of being a mercenary, but he had type one diabetes and other chronic conditions, and his captors said this led to his death. a spokeswoman said... but one humanitarian group seeking mr urey�*s release told me he'd clearly been mistreated. he wasn't being looked after, as they said he was being looked after, and we know that he wasn't getting the medication that he needed. the government said russia should bear full responsibility for mr urey�*s death and summoned the country's ambassador

to the foreign office. the foreign office has long condemned the exploitation of british civilians and prisoners of war being held by pro—russian forces in ukraine, but the kremlin sees them as diplomatic pawns who can be used to put pressure on the west, and officials here don't expect that strategy to change soon. james landale, bbc news, at the foreign office. everyone aged 50 and over will be offered a covid booster vaccine this autumn to top up their immunity. the announcement comes amid a continuing rise of covid cases across the uk, with some parts of the country nearing the record levels seen during the spring. our health editor hugh pym has all the details. yes, reeta, there was confirmation of those groups who are set to get another covid boosterjab in the autumn, including those more vulnerable who were offered a fourth dose in the spring. now they will qualify for a fifth. health experts say everyone aged 50 and over should be offered
10:17 pm
a booster in the autumn. previously, it was suggested it would be the over—65s. in addition, these groups, like health and care workers and other younger age groups with health conditions, will be eligible for an autumn booster. the expert committee, thejcvi, has explained the latest decision on the next vaccine roll—out. well, there's always a risk of another variant. we are undergoing a wave of baa and ba.5 at the moment. there will almost certainly be another wave at some point during the winter and we want to take a precautionary approach and top up people's immunity. the virus is spreading fast now. the latest survey from the office for national statistics suggests about 3.5 million people in the uk had the virus last week, up 29% from the week before. it's still not as high, though, as the level in late march with 4.9 million infections. scotland had the highest case rates. one in 16 people there had the virus last week.
10:18 pm
in england, it was one in 19, and in wales and northern ireland, one in 17 people. where will it go from here? i think we will see a decline in cases towards the end of this month and over august. it's likely that cases will get to about where they were in march by the time this is over, just because hospitalisations have, so it seems those things go together. but unfortunately, we are going to be here again in september and october. the number of covid hospital admissions is lower than earlier in the year. but nhs providers, representing trusts in england, said the increase in infections was a real concern and adding to the pressure when the service was already at full stretch. reeta. thank you very much. there are more updates, news and analysis on bbc news online — that's bbc.co.uk/news — and by using the bbc news app.
10:19 pm
the leader of britain's biggest private sector trade union is warning of a "summer of discontent", with widespread strike action. sharon graham, of the union unite, says that workers — and particularly those who got us through the pandemic — should not now be "paying the price of inflation". the government says action like strikes on the railways are only creating misery for passengers across the uk. our economics editor faisal islam reports. injune, thousands of rail workers walked out in a national strike. now, more announced forjuly and august. and rail isn't the only industry affected by strike action. workers are increasingly willing to walk out to help push up their pay in tough times, says the chief of the biggest private sector union, unite. you know, for workers, they've had a spring, summer, autumn, winter of discontent for years. and quite honestly, if what that means is that an employer who can pay,
10:20 pm
an employer who's made profit, an employer who has made profit out of workers, has to pay a proper, fair wage to those workers. here, union reps from british airways meet to discuss whether to accept the airline's latest pay offer. when we absolutely know that these staff shortages are there because they fired and rehired in the pandemic. at a time like this, disputes about pay are no surprise. but in some workplaces, unions are beginning to assert themselves. but you are winning double digit pay. well, yes, absolutely. so we've won 23% in some of the industries. we've won 23% in the logistics industry, won a 23% pay rise. you want similar wage settlements as we got in the 1970s? well, what i want is, what i want is employers who's got the ability to pay to pay. you should be respected. these eastbourne binmen were out on strike with the gmb union earlier this year before receiving a pay settlement of up to i9%. the strikes on our railways are just the most visible. they're threatened on our airlines,
10:21 pm
the telecom system, also in the postal service. but these are just the big ones. under the radar, there are hundreds of threatened industrial disputes in localised areas, especially with labour shortages. and the fear of the bank of england is that these pay claims spread throughout the country. but union boss graham hit back against such views. i do think that those types of comments from people like the governor of the bank of england, who is sitting a little bit pretty in terms of his own scenario, why are they only talking about one half of that equation? profits have a place in inflation. it's never spoken about. at the weekend, tens of thousands of union members rallied at the traditional durham miners gala. union membership is much smaller now than a generation ago, but leaders and members are feeling increasingly confident about their bargaining power. faisal islam, bbc news. the us presidentjoe biden has said
10:22 pm
he'll keep working on resolving the israeli—palestinian conflict, restating the us commitment to a two—state solution. in a meeting with the palestinian president mahmoud abbas in the occupied west bank, he also unveiled a fresh package of financial and technical assistance for the palestinians. president biden then travelled onto saudi arabia, for a meeting with the crown prince mohammed bin salman. let's go live to our correspondent anna foster, who's injeddah for us now. a significant meeting, this? it is, because it _ a significant meeting, this? it is, because it was _ a significant meeting, this? it is, because it was only _ a significant meeting, this? it is, because it was only four - a significant meeting, this? it is, because it was only four short - a significant meeting, this? it 3 because it was only four short weeks ago thatjoe biden said he was not coming to saudi arabia to meet crown prince nayef in salman, the man who the cia concluded approved the murder of the saudi journalistjamal murder of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi murder of the saudi journalistjamal khashoggi in istanbul in 2018. on the campaign trail, as he tried to become us president, joe biden called the crown for a pariah, and
10:23 pm
yet today, in the last few hours, we have seen the two men fist bumping ahead of a meeting that we were told would never happen. joe biden has come under significant criticism from politicians in the us for coming here, but he says it is vital to try to maintain peace and stability in the middle east, to fill the vacuum that could potentially be filled by the likes of russia and china. saudi arabia has many courtiers. it will be interesting to see how this is received and whether or not it sends a really distressing optic to some people about america's commitment to human rights. people about america's commitment to human righte— people about america's commitment to human rightm— human rights. thank you, anna foster, reporting. _ hundreds of thousands of unmarried women who were forced to give up their babies for adoption should get a formal apology from the government. so says a cross—party group of mps and peers, who've been investigating after a series of reports by bbc news uncovered harrowing stories of cruelty towards women who had children outside marriage. nearly 200,000 mothers were coerced into giving up their babies
10:24 pm
in the three decades after world war ii. duncan kennedy reports. this is the moment one group of birth mothers and adoptees heard about today's report. "an official apology should be given in recognition of lasting suffering caused by adoption practices." she sobs. that's brilliant, really brilliant. really brilliant. decades after their forced adoptions, they are still broken. really brilliant. among them, judy baker, who became pregnant in 1967, one of thousands pressured to give up their babies for adoption. how can you do that to a teenager and to an innocent baby? how can you part them, simply because i was unmarried? in post—war years, today's report makes clear, much of the pressure on unmarried women to give up their babies came
10:25 pm
from state employees, like social workers and nurses. one birth mother told the inquiry she had her baby pulled out of her arms. another said she screamed and hung onto her baby like a woman possessed. even during delivery, one woman was told she deserved all the pain she got. i think the least the government can do is recognise that this shouldn't have happened then, and it would never happen now, and it's right for the government to apologise. the government says it will consider the report's findings and offered its deepest sympathy to all those affected by historic forced adoption. i am still shaking, actually. i can't believe i've got this report in my hand. many of the adopted children, like liz harvie, who was taken from her mother, say they welcome today's report. it means an awful lot to everybody involved in the awful, shameful historic practice
10:26 pm
of forced adoption. it will mean a great deal to people today. forced adoptions have reached out across history. other countries have already said sorry. these women say their suffering deserves recognition too. duncan kennedy, bbc news. the family of a 12—year—old boy say they will appeal a judge's ruling that his life—support treatment can end. archie battersbee was found unconscious at his home in southend in essex in april, after a suspected accident. doctors at the royal london hospital say he is "brain—stem dead", but his parents described the ruling as "profoundly cruel". the world athletics championships have just got under way in oregon, the first time the us is hosting them. great britain and northern ireland have sent a team of 76 athletes, who've had to overcome the additional hurdle of securing visas to compete. our best medal hopes lie with our middle—distance runners,
10:27 pm
as andy swiss explains. he's the history student from halifax with the world at his feet. last month, max burgin ran the quickest 800 metres by anyone this year. suddenly, he's one of the favourites for the world title — not bad for a 20—year—old coached by his dad, and before that, by his grandfather, at his local club, halifax harriers. my parents were concerned i wasn't really doing enough exercise when i was young, so theyjust, i suppose the natural thing to do was to ship me off to grandad and do a bit of training down at the harriers, and found i was good at it so ijust pursued it from there. burgin says he was inspired by watching keely hodgkinson win silver in the 800 at last year's olympics. now the pair are britain's biggest hopes of gold. i've actually grown up with max. he's been breaking world records since, god knows, he was 12 years old, so he's definitely a big potential
10:28 pm
for the title at the world champs, so it's good to share that with him and be on thisjourney and hopefully we can both return with something nice and shiny. and those hopes will be decided here, in the leafy town of eugene, in oregon. the birthplace of the nike brand, it's become the spiritual home of american athletics, nicknamed track town, usa. perhaps surprisingly, this is the first time the world championships have been held here in the us. despite america's huge success in track and field, the sport still has a relatively low profile here — something the organisers are keen to change. globally, everybody recognises how strong the us track and field team is, but there are athletes that we sort of celebrate in europe and more broadly around the world in our sport, that can still walk in their own towns in complete anonymity. it's not all been smooth so far. britain's chris thompson has had to withdraw from sunday's marathon because of delays processing his us visa — an issue other athletes are battling.
10:29 pm
but for the world's best that are here, it's go time. andy swiss, bbc news, eugene. in football, england wrapped up an impressive group stage at euro 2022 as they beat northern ireland 5—0 in southampton. the lionesses had already qualified for the quarterfinals, fran kirby opened the scoring just before half—time. it is northern ireland's first major tournament. an own goal completed their defeat, as they finished bottom of the group without a win. there's been impressive scoring by some of the world's leading golfers in the second round of the open. but tiger woods has waved an emotional farewell to st andrews in what he admits could be his last open tournament there. joe wilson reports from the old course. before 10am, tiger woods was out again, trying to summon one more extraordinary round from his aching, repaired body. and they were watching, of course they were watching. he still is really the one golfer
10:30 pm
who stands beyond his sport, whose fame spans generations. i've seen tiger tee off on the first hole and he made a par. but the low score tiger woods needed didn't come. there was no magical revival, and in fact, it often looked painful. as for the players who actually might win this championship, well, that was a different story, going on simultaneously in different parts of st andrews. with his second round not beginning until mid—afternoon, rory mcilroy had plenty of time to prepare. but its holding your nerve here that matters. well, mcilroy stayed right in touch. 10—under par. it's got the line. well set. suddenly, a contender emerges from thin air, from nowhere, from norway — viktor hovland. yeah, you're in the mix. what a shot. the young man to catch is australia's cameron smith. this eagle putt took him to 13—under par and to the top of the leaderboard.
10:31 pm
only the better scoring players stay for the weekend. tiger woods, 9—over par, knew his open was over as he strode up the 18th. he doesn't know when or if he will be back, and all those emotions could not be concealed. joe wilson, bbc news, at st andrews. time for a look at the weather. here's nick miller. let's start with an aspect of this we haven't talked about yet on the programme and that is just how warm the temperatures are going to be at night. let me show you some numbers from 10pm on monday, when you're getting ready to go to bed, some spots are still close to 30 celsius, what can you say? it is easy to look at this as a thing of wonder but of course it is a thing of worry and thatis course it is a thing of worry and that is why we have this met office extreme heat warning for monday and tuesday across a large part of england. widespread impacts, already
10:32 pm
some travel disruption being revealed and of course, take a look at this warning, take it in and find out what it means for you going into next week on the bbc weather website. this is the area covered by the red warning, a large part of england, and often i hear it isjust hot in london, but no, birmingham and nottingham are included in this and nottingham are included in this and a much larger swathe of the uk, all of england and wales and into southern scotland, a met office extreme heat amber warnings for sunday into tuesday, again with widespread disruption, we are bringing this excessive heat up from iberia, a natural weather pattern to bring heat and heat ways from the south into the uk over summer but what is unnatural about this is how high the temperatures are and that is the result of climate change. now is the result of climate change. now is the result of climate change. now is the time to bring as much cool air into the house as possible. it is not a warm start to the day tomorrow and if it is safe to do so, open the windows. some patchy rain in northern scotland but otherwise dry. as we go through the day tomorrow, we will eventually bring
10:33 pm
more cloud into scotland and northern ireland and later northern england and you will see a bit of patchy rain but for the rest of england and wales, it is just warm sunshine and there will be parts of the midlands and central and south—eastern areas of england seen temperatures getting up into the upper 20s as we go through the day. for part two of the weekend on sunday, it is turning hotter still, more places getting to 30 celsius or above and by monday, the heat really starts to kick in but as we go deeper into next week, thankfully, from wednesday, showers and thunderstorms are around and by then it will be turning cooler. good news. thanks, nick. and that's it from all of us on the team here at the bbc news at ten. there's more analysis of the day's main stories on newsnight, which isjust getting under way on bbc two. and the news continues here on bbc one, as now it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. but from me, it's goodnight.
10:34 pm
thanks, reeta. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are lord kim darroch, former british ambassador to the united states, and the features writer for the independent, james rampton. tomorrow's front pages. i say there's pretty much every week. the weekend is coming and people are keen to get away from their desks and who could blame them? their desks and who could blame them? "meltdown" — the mirror leads on the declared national emergency, with a red warning for extreme heat issued for the first time for england on monday and tuesday — when temperatures could hit an unprecedented 40c. the i newspaper also warns
10:35 pm
on the highest warning areas covering london, manchester and york. the ft has borisjohnson reportedly offering pay rises averaging about 5 % to millions of public sector workers next week. based presumably on the independent recommendations. based presumably on the independent recommendations. the telegraph leads on news that candidate penny mordaunt is hitting back at her rivals after days of alleged infighting. the mail seems to support liz truss with their headline "liz tax boost for families" — but in the recent debate other candidates did question where the money would be coming from. and the express has a message from the prime minister to his successor, that they must finish theirjob on brexit. so let's begin. and protect the legacy begun by him
10:36 pm
in ukraine. so let us begin. forgive me because i have lost the bid to pay had to hand. i think were going to start with the mirror, yes. do you want to keep herself? it is a pretty striking image but the mirror catches the dilemma, doesn't it? hot weather means a chance to get to the beach and enjoy it outside but the message we have kind of got to get our head around neck speakers it outside. it will be downright dangerous. outside. it will be downright dangerou— outside. it will be downright dancerous. ., . dangerous. you are right. the mirror's front _ dangerous. you are right. the mirror's front page. _ dangerous. you are right. the mirror's front page. the - dangerous. you are right. the mirror's front page. the map | dangerous. you are right. the i mirror's front page. the map of dangerous. you are right. the - mirror's front page. the map of the uk basically, a burning red colour and i think i've been in a0 degrees briefly when i've been in places like the middle east. there were a couple of weeks in greece when it was 35 and that was blisteringly
10:37 pm
hot. on the point about a0 degrees temperature is it really isn't isa cream and beach weather. this is really, really unpleasant to be out in. and of course it is unprecedented. we've never had... if we get to a0 degrees on monday or tuesday this will never have had happened before so if you ever wanted real evidence of climate change and what is happening to the planet and what that means for the uk, here it is. and it's going to beam brutal and it's very dangerous as well. it beam brutal and it's very dangerous as well. . , , as well. it raises some quite important questions, - as well. it raises some quite| important questions, doesn't as well. it raises some quite - important questions, doesn't it? the newspaper and its little bullet points on the left at the front catches some concerns about a1 degrees scorch. closing roads and stopping trains. schools are charter though that has been left to the discretion of individual head teachers and many schools have already finished for the summer
10:38 pm
term. but, i mean, these are going to pay is quite serious questions in terms of infrastructure and the future and things like school terms because i know from spain, you know, by this time of the year, the kids are long gone from school because the temperatures get so high it is simply impossible to work in. yes. simply impossible to work in. yes, ou simply impossible to work in. yes, you mentioned _ simply impossible to work in. yes, you mentioned that _ simply impossible to work in. yes, you mentioned that it _ simply impossible to work in. yes, you mentioned that it is _ simply impossible to work in. yes, you mentioned that it is pleasant and it_ you mentioned that it is pleasant and it is— you mentioned that it is pleasant and it is lovely to have the odd bit of sun— and it is lovely to have the odd bit of sun in_ and it is lovely to have the odd bit of sun in a — and it is lovely to have the odd bit of sun in a country that other people — of sun in a country that other people still traditionally laugh out as being _ people still traditionally laugh out as being drenched with rain the whole — as being drenched with rain the whole time but i would take a rather more _ whole time but i would take a rather more terrified view of this. there is a genre — more terrified view of this. there is a genre of literature called clay five _ is a genre of literature called clay five it _ is a genre of literature called clay five it is— is a genre of literature called clay five. it is predicting the world turning — five. it is predicting the world turning into a burning ball of fire. and when— turning into a burning ball of fire. and when we see these record—breaking temperatures, i don't _ record—breaking temperatures, i don't want — record—breaking temperatures, i don't want to sound too alarmist but it is alarming. the fact that railways _ it is alarming. the fact that railways have never been built to

10:43 pm
face the sort of inferno that the future threatens at the moment we need to do a lot more in depth ever is one good thing that has come out of these temperatures which, by the way, i have been experienced on the continent for days if not weeks now, it is that we need to do a great deal more on climate change. take us to the ft front — deal more on climate change. take us to the ft front page _ deal more on climate change. take us to the ft front page if— deal more on climate change. take us to the ft front page if you would. - to the ft front page if you would. public sector staff in 5% pay offer. yes. this is very important article because that sort of offer is, i guess, what the government feels it is probably stretching to the limits what they think they can afford but with inflation running at close to 10% now, potentially higher over the next few months, what that actually means, if public sector unions were to that, is a significant cut in
10:44 pm
