getting away for summer. it should be one of the highlights of the year to relieve stress of day—to—day life, but today, at the end of the working week, huge tail backs stretched for several miles from dover, meaning misery and frustrations for travellers. it's the start of one of the busiest weekends of the year for dover. the school holidays have begun. but the port has declared a critical incident and told passengers to arrive at least five hours before departure time to clear all security checks. we heard that french border techs are now operating on full capacity. it is where people clear immigration. it arose from technical incident. katy austin synthesis of

bit more freely than they were, but the delays this morning were so great there is a really long backlog. as the blame game continues, the reality is a miserable start to many people's qualities. katy austin, bbc news. —— many people's holidays. republican party mp from calais joins us now. thank you very much for being with us. you will have been following this throughout the day because it affects your constituency as well. what's your take on what has happened today and what's gone wrong? happened today and what's gone wron: ? ~ . �* , happened today and what's gone wron~?~ ., �*, ., ., , wrong? well, what's gone on is we have to go — wrong? well, what's gone on is we have to go with _ wrong? well, what's gone on is we have to go with new _ wrong? well, what's gone on is we have to go with new checks - wrong? well, what's gone on is we | have to go with new checks because of brexit. we are having first holidays without brexit due to covid—19, so basically, we are experimenting what will be our future between the two sides of the

dover street. if you take a look, we had one hour delay to have 100% of the kiosk —— dover straight. before they went on the ferry boats. but they went on the ferry boats. but the delays, we watched and we experienced today and yesterday were not on me because of that delay because of the problem in the channel. �* ., y ., because of the problem in the channel. �* ., . ., ., channel. i'm glad you cleared that u . channel. i'm glad you cleared that up because _ channel. i'm glad you cleared that up because the — channel. i'm glad you cleared that up because the suggestion - channel. i'm glad you cleared that up because the suggestion that'sl up because the suggestion that's coming from the french government was down to that eurotunnel said the incident in dover started overnight, so the problems began before the problem in the tunnel, which was about seven a:m.. i understand it held up some of your police officers coming, but what the chief executive of the port says is the plans have

been and place for weeks. 14 officers requested, only six in place at the start of the shift. that's what i said. we had planned to have all the kiosks filled with persons of capacities, and we had a one hour delay because of an incident. that's why it wasn't... but the incident was declared before that so the argument is the problems... they might have been exact with that's what they said. that's not true. we had plans to have all the police officers at 8:30am your time in dover, that's it. ., y ., 8:30am your time in dover, that's it. ., , 8:30am your time in dover, that's it. ., y ., , ., , 8:30am your time in dover, that's it. have you been able to establish if the request _ it. have you been able to establish if the request was _ it. have you been able to establish if the request was for _ it. have you been able to establish if the request was for 8:30am? - it. have you been able to establish | if the request was for 8:30am? for me, and indirect, it sounds not

particularly early —— an interest. i need to say something more. the port is three to four times smaller than the port of kent. our plan to have a bigger port of dover for such use —— 30 years. it was not done yet. we in calais created a newport. and the fact is the port of dover is too small. you have big cliffs both sides of dover. you have a highway running for the city, so the access to the port of dover, to the kiosk... to the port of dover, to the kiosk- - -_ to the port of dover, to the kiosk... �* ., . , , kiosk... all of which is understood and applies _ kiosk... all of which is understood and applies every _ kiosk... all of which is understood and applies every week _ kiosk... all of which is understood and applies every week of - kiosk... all of which is understood and applies every week of the - kiosk... all of which is understood l and applies every week of the year, so therefore wife this occasion hasn't been this much... 7 so therefore wife this occasion hasn't been this much... ? because we are more _ hasn't been this much... ? because we are more and _ hasn't been this much... ? because we are more and more _ hasn't been this much... ? because we are more and more cars - hasn't been this much... ? because we are more and more cars running j we are more and more cars running through the port of dover, through the dover straight to calais because

of holidays. we had eight cars yesterday, and today, it was around 8000 cars that are not usually on the road. the fact is if you take a look at the numbers of kiosks given by the port authorities of dover, 95% of the time for 100% rates. those are two huge kiosks because there is not enough space in the port to enter that people coming because of the holidays are coming from... if i because of the holidays are coming from... , ., from... if i understand your argument... _ from... if i understand your argument... can _ from... if i understand your argument... can i - from... if i understand your argument... can ijust - from... if i understand your i argument... can ijust clarify? fundamentally, even if the full staffing is maintained all the time, these problems will recur? yes. these problems will recur? yes, because of— these problems will recur? yes, because of brexit. _ these problems will recur? yes, because of brexit. this -

frustration for thousands and thousands of people — notjust lorry drivers, but all these tourists trying to get away on holiday. i heard your french guests, but what has gone wrong today is a little more complicated today. it started when the port authorities said there is simply not enough french police border guards turned up to do the work. they expect 14, and only six turned up. the french responded to that by saying some of the staff relate, but they were dealing with an incident in the channel tunnel. this afternoon, eurotunnel appeared to contradict that by saying the incident in the tunnel was only minor and had nothing to do with what's going on here in the port of dover. as you heard and katie's

report, the french embassy are telling us that they're staffing levels —— their staffing levels are at full capacity. to top it all, we fed a statement from the foreign secretary, who says this awful situation should be entirely avoidable and is unacceptable and we need action to the french —— from the french to limit any further disrupted. the chief executive of the port told us if staffing levels aren't sorted by tomorrow, we could see these kind of queues all over the weekend.— see these kind of queues all over the weekend. duncan kennedy, a rather grim _ the weekend. duncan kennedy, a rather grim prospect _ the weekend. duncan kennedy, a rather grim prospect for - the weekend. duncan kennedy, a rather grim prospect for those i the weekend. duncan kennedy, a| rather grim prospect for those has setting out for holiday. thank you very much. in other news, a deal to resume vital exports of grain to ukraine has been signed by the two countries. ukraine is one of of largest exporters.

the poorest countries are the ones who've been most reliant on it. since the invasion, russia has been advocating major ports on the waxy. some 20 million tonnes of grain is stuck there. —— on the black sea. ukraine's golden fields of wheat. but this is a bitter harvest. the grain can't be sold abroad because of a russian naval blockade. the signing of a deal to resume exports from ukraine and help moscow export its grain and fertiliser. nice to see you, mr secretary general. the un secretary general who nurtured the agreement told me it benefits the world.

this is exactly what we needed at the present moment because developing countries are in a dramatic situation with skyrocketing prices, and many people are at risk of famine. so, there is a moral obligation of all those involved in this process to make it a success. isn't there also a moral question that at a time when russia is killing women and children, and we see this every day, and we see this every day — i've seen it in ukraine, you've been in ukraine on the ground, you've seen the aftermath of russian attacks — but here we are with russia being rewarded with russia getting a deal that is going to help it get its food and fertiliser onto the world market. some would see this as a payoff for russia. sorry to say it, that is totally wrong. it is not russia that is rewarded. this was a basic need for the international markets. but russia will benefit. russia benefits much more with the export of fuel.

it's incomparable the volume, and we go on seeing russia exporting it's incomparable, the volume, and we go on seeing russia exporting oil and gas to several european countries and to other countries around the world. that is where the big business is. you understand some on the outside world will see this as the un helping russia to do business at a time when russia is killing women and children every other day in ukraine. no, we are helping ukraine. back in april, the secretary general saw the horrors there for himself during a sombre visit to suburbs around the capital. forever scarred by russian atrocities. when you went to kyiv and ukraine, you yourself were in bucha and you were obviously moved by what you saw, and i remember you said you could imagine your own granddaughters having to flee. yes. against that backdrop, was it difficult to sit and negotiate with

against that backdrop, was it difficult to sit and negotiate with russia? was it a hard thing to do? of course it's not easy, but there is a sense of duty that the secretary general of the united nations must have in relation to the whole world. strong was my emotion when i visited the places just mentioned. today, it was also very emotional for me to sign this agreement. it's probably the most important thing i've been doing since i became secretary general. for the grain deal to work, they will have to be a de facto ceasefire in the black sea ports and safe corridor at sea for cargo vessels. this deal is fragile and peace is a very distant prospect. 0rla guerin, bbc news, istanbul. we set a mother and her partner had been found guilty of murdering her 15—year—old

son in huddersfield last thirds. the crown court heard how sebastian was reportedly beaten by the pair and... this report has some extremely distressing information. sebastian kalinowski, a popular sweet natured 15—year—old murdered by his own mother and her partner. he'd been living in england for less than a year, after moving here from poland. his teachers remember a lovely boy. everybody remembers his lovely smile. how nice and friendly he was. and even though he didn't speak very much english when he first arrived, you could tell that he had a little bit of confidence about him and he was determined to get to know people. and as his english improved so did his confidence, and he began to make friends with a lot of students. but any confidence was beaten out of him at home.

his mother, agnieszka kalinowska, would often hit him. but the worst abuse was meted out by her body—builder partner andrzej latoszewski. it doesn't take a huge leap of imagination to know how terrifying being hit by this man would be. the couple installed cctv in their home to spy on him. the same cameras caught the physical abuse. in one 30—minute clip played to thejury, latoszewski is seen hitting sebastian more than 100 times, pausing at one stage to wipe the sweat from his face, while kalinowska watched tv and ate toast. in short, this was the evidence that was the key evidence at court showing that sebastian was subjected to a campaign of terror and torture, assault, neglect and ill—treatment by the people that were there to love, protect and look after him the most. a lot of the assaults on 15—year—old sebastian happened during lockdown. social services are now investigating, but it's not clear if they were aware of him at the time.

the abuse escalated in the school summer holidays last year. sebastian died from an infection from untreated broken ribs. as for his killers, she said she was scared of her partner, yet the jury was told they'd recently swapped love letters and agreed to marry. danny savage, bbc news, leeds. the european commission has launched fresh legal action against the uk over its enforcement of trading rules in northern ireland. the commission's accused the uk of failing to apply the customs and tax regulations which were agreed as part of the brexit deal. the government said the latest claims were "disappointing" and that legal action was "in nobody�*s interest". let's go to hell and cat in westminster. we have heard the foreign secretary criticising and this looks like another round of potential conflict between london and brussels, including paris and that as well. the and brussels, including paris and that as well-— that as well. the eu has brought forward these _ that as well. the eu has brought forward these to _ that as well. the eu has brought forward these to tailor— that as well. the eu has broughtj forward these to tailor additional legal actions and they relate to things they say the uk has not been

doing that it agreed to in the brexit deal back in 2019. specifically, it is claiming the uk has failed to provide data on goods going from northern ireland to great britain, it has not been applying custom rules, excise rolls, vat rules. there are already existing legal actions and failing to set up border inspection posts. the eu said it had... the negotiations have now stalled and what has happened in the last week is a northern ireland protocol bill, bill which would allow the uk to unilaterally override parts of that agreement has passed through the house of commons. it still has to go through the lords, but it has passed at the commons. the foreign secretary, liz truss was speaking this evening and has previously said the eu has been inflexible on this. any statement that came from the government tonight, it said it was

disappointing that the eu had chosen to bring us forward, but a legal dispute was a no one's interests and will not fix the people and businesses of northern ireland. helen catt. it is now —— at half past i will be joined for dateline london, but no too lazy for the sport. —— to lizzie. london, but no too lazy for the sport. -- to lizzie.— sport. -- to lizzie. play was delayed _ sport. -- to lizzie. play was delayed for— sport. -- to lizzie. play was delayed for nearly _ sport. -- to lizzie. play was delayed for nearly four i sport. -- to lizzie. play was i delayed for nearly four hours, so the match is just 29 overs per delayed for nearly four hours, so the match isjust 29 overs per side for england. 38 runs after a batting collapse, which included joe root falling for one. he was one of four wickets taken by dwaine pretorius. after a quick turnaround, south africa had just started their run chase of 201, south africa have a 1-0 chase of 201, south africa have a 1—0 lead in the best—of—three
