8:05 pm
for, and your news reader has just gone through some of those signs and symptoms, but equally, we have put in place a vaccination strategy here. firstly, once high risk contacts have been exposed, but particularly we are offering vaccination to individuals who are identified as likely to be at higher risk, and we are hoping to prevent cases coming on board. you risk, and we are hoping to prevent cases coming on board.— cases coming on board. you will remember. _ cases coming on board. you will remember, when _ cases coming on board. you will remember, when we _ cases coming on board. you will remember, when we cast - cases coming on board. you will remember, when we cast our. cases coming on board. you will. remember, when we cast our minds back to the early days of the covid—i9 pandemic, in a similar way, the symptoms with this are things like, we are told, a rash, fatigue, muscle aches. those are things that could quite easily be caused by other things and in the same way that, you know, coughs and fever with covid—i9 could have been caused ijy with covid—i9 could have been caused by something else, people may want to do the responsible thing and check but equally not want to

8:09 pm
have, we can better understand transmission, and i'm sure that research and the advice will change as we go through managing this outbreak. so it is a call to arms internationally, and the uk hsa is working and was in fact the first to identify the first monkeypox patient. identify the first monkeypox atient. g , ., , identify the first monkeypox -atient. g , ., , ., ,, patient. dame jenny harries, thank ou ve patient. dame jenny harries, thank you very much- _ and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30 this evening in the papers. our guests joining me tonight are geri scott from the times and the guardian's aubrey allegreti. it's been a day of more lengthy delays and frustration for thousands travellers trying to cross the channel. on what's been the busiest travel day of the year so far, some drivers have had to wait five to six hours before reaching the port of dover, or the eurotunnel terminal at folkestone. from dover, here's ramzan karmali.
8:10 pm
the queues on the motorway leading into dover. it's becoming a familiar sight. yesterday's chaos seems to be repeating itself today, and for many holiday—makers trying to get away, this has become the worst possible start to their summer break. but for those who set off early there was an air of optimism. i'm assuming at some point we're going to stop and sit in traffic for hours and hours and hours, but so far we've got... we keep creeping forwards and it's been fine. the police seem to be doing a good job and getting the tourists actually moving and stopping the lorries coming in on the a2, because they were all told to come in on the m20. and how long would this journey normally take you? about two hours, so we're now into four hours, but it's fine. cars and lorries continue to try to get through the border control here at dover. in fact 8,500 tourist vehicles tried to make the crossing yesterday, and today that number's expected to be higher at 10,000, so officials are warning there will be delays, and it's feared that these types
8:11 pm
of delays could become commonplace throughout the summer. 3,000 lorries are also expected to make the crossing today. yesterday, the port of dover boss blamed the delays on french authorities for not providing enough staff to carry out passport checks, which are now compulsory since brexit. today, he's confident that situation won't be repeated. after the terrible disruption from yesterday and all the impact that it had on travellers and truck drivers and our local communities, i'm very pleased that police aux frontieres have turned up with a strong complement of officers to man the booths. we've had 12 in from the early hours of this morning, we've got another four on the way, and so the processing time through the port has improved. from leaving junction 12, it took seven— from leaving junction 12, it took seven hours to get to the terminal.

8:13 pm
moscow has not made any comment on the attack. paul adams is in kyiv with the latest on the airstrikes. judging by what we saw this morning, this does appear to have been an attack using sophisticated calibre cruise missiles. so, there is every sign that this was a russian attack. but this does raise an interesting question — given the sophistication of those weapons, highly accurate weapons, they don't seem to have really hit very much or cause very much damage. yes, one or two did land in that vast port area of odesa, but we do not now think that any grain—related facilities were damaged, as was previously reported. and there were also no casualties. ukrainian officials are saying they are still planning to go ahead with implementing the deal reached yesterday in istanbul. so, given that, it does raise all sorts of questions
8:14 pm
about what exactly the purpose of this attack was. perhaps it was just to send a signal that, you know, ukraine shouldn't be too complacent that it has somehow won this round and it is going to be plain sailing from now on. it is interesting that, having used those weapons, they didn't use them to greater effect. let's get more on this from ukrainian mp oleksiy goncharenko, who represents odesa. good to have you with us. do you think this deal can be saved now? tt think this deal can be saved now? tit can, but we didn't trust putin from the beginning. i want to add a bit of information to what your correspondent said. there are wounded people after this attack, immediately after what had happened. it can be saved, because ukraine is ready to receive the ships, to put
8:15 pm
grain on them and send them. again, ican grain on them and send them. again, i can tell you that it is notjust a signal. first, there were four missiles and two were intercepted by ukraine, but we do not know where these two were supposed to hit. just to think about what is going on now with ship owners and which ships should go to odesa, with the insurance companies and with the crew, which is the most important, who should take the ships to odesa and from. when you see this news... that is definitely an attempt from putin to disrupt the deal, because he doesn't want in reality any supply of ukrainian grain to the world food market. he wants the rising of food prices to cause unrest and make government changes, he wants people starving, he wants
8:16 pm
new millions of refugees seeking refuge in europe and crossing the mediterranean. that is what putin wants. that he did. it is quite surprising that he did itjust in hours of the signing. that surprised even me, because it is quite hard to surprise me with anything, especially after february the 24th. it is clear that was his idea. so wh do it is clear that was his idea. so why do you think you agreed to the deal in the first place if, as you suggest, he doesn't want to achieve the aims that were set out in it? three reasons. first, a military reason. he was scared that he would be tested with his capacity to hold this blockade and that he might fail. if any nato warships came into the black sea to convoy grain, he could do nothing. the ukrainian
8:17 pm
fleet destroyed part of his fleet already. together with harpoons that were provided by the united kingdom, god save the queen and thank you for this, we can defend our cause. the second is political pressure from global south countries. he is... the third, keep weaponised this corridor and try to threaten it and use it as leveraged. what he has done, starting from the first day. in starting from the first day. in terms of the grain being stored in odesa, how long can it be stored there four and still be good enough and possible to export to the countries that so desperately need it, particularly those in the middle east who are grappling with high food prices? for east who are grappling with high food prices?— east who are grappling with high food rices? ., ., , food prices? for the moment, it is not a critical _ food prices? for the moment, it is not a critical line, _ food prices? for the moment, it is not a critical line, but _ food prices? for the moment, it is not a critical line, but we - food prices? for the moment, it is not a critical line, but we have - not a critical line, but we have another critical line. the harvest collection hasn't started in
8:18 pm
ukraine. it means that ukraine doesn't have enough capability and capacity to store this grain. we don'tjust have a place, so that is why it was so crucial and why the world was pushing the deal now. we must leave it there. thank you. letsjoin all the at lets join all the at the bbc sport centre. the last of the quarter—finals at the women's european championship is under way. the defending champions netherlands are facing france at rotherhams new york stadium. these are live pictures, they've been playing about 15 minutes.

8:23 pm
as they'd increase borrowing. however in kent, she said it was �*wrong' to take money from people when the cost of living was rising. here's our political correspondent, iain watson. it's more than 30 years since mrs thatcher was prime minister, but today's leadership candidates have been blowing away the cobwebs and paying tribute to her. that is perhaps because she is still revered by many of the conservative party members who will choose our next prime minister. rishi sunak even travelled to her birthplace of grantham to praise herfinancial responsibility and to attack his opponents' plans for immediate tax cuts. brute opponents' plans for immediate tax cuts. ~ ., ., cuts. we have to tell the truth about tax- _ cuts. we have to tell the truth about tax- i — cuts. we have to tell the truth about tax. iwill— cuts. we have to tell the truth about tax. i will deliver - cuts. we have to tell the truth about tax. i will deliver more | cuts. we have to tell the truth i about tax. i will deliver more tax cuts, but i will not put money back in your pocket knowing that rising inflation will only rip it straight back. i have been very clear that not only do i think it is the wrong thing for the economy, i also
