today from our days of peace began. and — the long wait is over for millions of lord of the rings fans, as a tv pre—quel to the epic drama is launched at �*comic con�* in san diego. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. there's been a cruise missile attack on a key ukrainian port, just 2a hours after kyiv and moscow signed a deal, to allow the resumption of grain exports around the world. ukraine blames russia, with president zelensky saying the strike showed moscow couldn't be trusted to implement the deal, aimed at averting a major global, food crisis. the missiles hit the southern port of odesa, which is still in ukrainian control, and central to any hopes of exporting grain out

of the country, through the black sea. our ukraine correspondent, james waterhouse has sent us this report from odesa. in a war littered with broken promises and especially devastating betrayal, two missiles launched from the black sea hitting odesa's port. two others were taken out by air defence systems. for coffee vendor sergei, there is only one thing to do. translation: i saw black smoke after the missiles hit, _ so i knew i had to run to a bomb shelter and hide. it was very scary because there was a big noise and unpleasant to the ears. now, the ukrainian soldiers here aren't letting us do too much filming because it could be used by the russians, but we're told that there was minimal damage to the port and that a number of people were in injured.

but rocket attacks happen frequently, and in the case of this one, it's the undermining of trust which is the most significant. less than a day ago, a deal signed where russia agreed to allow millions of tonnes of grain to leave ukraine through the black sea. a first diplomatic breakthrough which could reduce the country's damaged economy and help address a globalfood crisis now hanging in the balance. translation: this agreement doesn't mean anything — translation: this agreement doesn't mean anything to _ translation: this agreement doesn't mean anything to me. _ translation: this agreement doesn't mean anything to me. how— translation: this agreement doesn't mean anything to me. how can - translation: this agreement doesn't mean anything to me. how can turkey| mean anything to me. how can turkey and the united nations signed an agreement with the country, and everyone knows this, that they will never follow? ukraine �*s leader today meeting a cross party group of us politicians, has become use to russia's predictable unpredictability. translation: no matter what russia promises, . it will always find a way to break them.

that may be through geopolitics or with weapons, sometimes through bloodshed. it has many ways to act. his government says preparations for grain exports will continue, but this fragile operation brings real dangers with high stakes. we can speak to james waterhouse now live from odesa. where does this leave the green deal? ~ , ., ., ., . , deal? well, it is hanging on a cliff edue, to deal? well, it is hanging on a cliff edge. to be _ deal? well, it is hanging on a cliff edge, to be honest _ deal? well, it is hanging on a cliff edge, to be honest with _ deal? well, it is hanging on a cliff edge, to be honest with you. - deal? well, it is hanging on a cliff| edge, to be honest with you. from the ukrainian perspective, it will push on. imagine being a crewmember on a vessel or one of the shipping companies that will actually have to carry out these deliveries, even if the port is left unscathed, they will have to travel along a route littered with mines, through a russian naval blockade, which is expected to not open fire and

travelling. on the other side of those journeys are tens of millions of people at risk of starvation if they don't receive ukrainian grain. that's notwithstanding the benefits ukraine sets to receive through its economy which has strength throughout the course of this invasion, so, at the moment, it is going ahead as planned, but it's just a reminder of the risks and dangers and lack of trust, frankly, thatis dangers and lack of trust, frankly, that is around it.— that is around it. that has been a ureat that is around it. that has been a great deal _ that is around it. that has been a great deal of _ that is around it. that has been a great deal of confusion _ that is around it. that has been a great deal of confusion in - that is around it. that has been a great deal of confusion in the - that is around it. that has been a | great deal of confusion in the last few hours over whether russia has actually admitted to the attack. earlier we reported that the russian ministry of defence said they were behind it. that turned out to be old information from even the russian employee who spoke to us and said initially that russia had meant to military targets retracted that information saying it had been based on old sources. what has russia said about the attack?— about the attack? officially, nothinu. about the attack? officially, nothing. there _ about the attack? officially, nothing. there has - about the attack? officially, nothing. there has been - about the attack? officially, nothing. there has been no| about the attack? officially, - nothing. there has been no comment from the kremlin about this attack,

but they are being squarely blamed by the west. the us secretary of state, antony lincoln, has said this attack questions the very integrity of russia in this agreement and undermines the work of turkey and the un who brought the steel together as well as ukraine and trying to fix this food crisis. russia has in the past launched long—range calibre missiles, very precise missiles from the black sea where it has total dominance on targets across ukraine. so, the aim, evenif targets across ukraine. so, the aim, even if it was true that moscow launched these missiles, which is the more likely scenario, it is not clear why they would carry this out because moscow has a stake in this green deal as well, in a parallel agreement, they will be allowed to import or export its own grain as well as products like fertiliser, which it struggled to do so because of sanctions in terms of its ability to get ships. so it is not clear

what it is set to gain in terms of the agreements, but i think what we have seen throughout this conflict is a russia flexed its muscles to remind ukraine who is in charge. with that in mind, if this deal falls apart, and not only harms ukraine, it not only harms russia, but so many other countries, particularly those in the developing world to rely on the screen and where people are grappling with an affordably high food prices. imilieu affordably high food prices. when this deal was _ affordably high food prices. when this deal was struck _ affordably high food prices. when this deal was struck this - affordably high food prices. “wren this deal was struck this week, affordably high food prices. 71ng this deal was struck this week, it was seen as notjust the was seen as not just the first diplomatic breakthrough in this war come of the first major when really, we had prisoner exchanges, but this is far larger scale, far more significant. it could well affect global markets which have been disrupted by the supply of grain. it could affect the cost of living for so many countries where, because of the shortage of supply, demand has

gone up, and so have prices. as he saw there commits affected the prophets that ukrainian farmers can make. it is a war which has affected the supply of energy where western countries have tried to stand there reliance on russian natural gas and oil which has had an effect on the price people pay as well. it is a war that has far—reaching consequences for so many people. this green deal was seen as a first real breakthrough where both ukraine and russia, albeit they were aching to say, look, we are not engaging with each other on the same table. it still involves ukraine and russia in the same agreement for the benefit of the wider world and that was a first. whether that will continue, there are absolutely no guarantees i can give you right now given what we have seen in the past months of this work.— months of this work. james, thank ou ve months of this work. james, thank you very much _ months of this work. james, thank you very much for _ months of this work. james, thank you very much for your— months of this work. james, thank you very much for your analysis. i well the russian invasion of ukraine and the fact that grain is not leaving ukraine's ports

is exacerbating the situation where an unprecedented drought is pushing millions of people to the brink of starvation. the us development agency's administrator samantha power has called for more international support to deal with food insecurity there. speaking during a visit to turkana in northern kenya, she said the us alone cannot meet the demand of people in need of emergency aid. our senior africa correspondent, anne soy reports from turkana. a community devastated by drought. even their colour furl adornment can barely hide their suffering. this is in northern kenya. fourfailed rain seasons and fears of ethics have reduced even the most respected here to beggars. like this elder in the village. translation: i to beggars. like this elder in the village. translation:— to beggars. like this elder in the village. translation: i have many

"tt2 mothers that we met with who of their children relapse. tt2 mothers that we met with who had the acutely malnourished children, all of their livestock had been wiped out, decimated by this drought. so we are talking about the massive loss of livelihood in the risk of the massive loss of life, and that

is why, again, the united states has come forward. we are providing $1.6 billion. the stakes really around mobilising individuals, the private sector, national governments and the broader donor community, the stakes are, as we have seen here today, existential. are, as we have seen here today, existential-— existential. part of that money funds food _ existential. part of that money funds food supply, _ existential. part of that money funds food supply, but - existential. part of that money funds food supply, but it - existential. part of that money funds food supply, but it is - existential. part of that money funds food supply, but it is too little. here, many are hopeful to get a mealfor theirfamilies. little. here, many are hopeful to geta mealfortheirfamilies. tt get a mealfortheirfamilies. if they could come of these people would be — they could come of these people would be very happy to go away with a bag _ would be very happy to go away with a bag of— would be very happy to go away with a bag of food, but it is not enough for everyone. all a bag of food, but it is not enough for everyone-— for everyone. all of them have been affected by drought, _ for everyone. all of them have been affected by drought, but _ for everyone. all of them have been affected by drought, but on - for everyone. all of them have been affected by drought, but on the - for everyone. all of them have been affected by drought, but on the a i affected by drought, but on the a small percentage 15% for the most vulnerable and have been chosen by the community to receive relief food. what's they take from here today won“t food. what's they take from here today won't last long. the world food programme estimates that 50 million people in the horn of africa

region could face starvation if they don't get urgent food. the head of the world health organisation has declared the outbreak of monkeypox a public health emergency of international concern. director general dr tedros said monkeypox represents a high risk in europe, with a clear risk of further international spread. he said sixteen thousand cases of the disease have been reported in more than seventy five countries, and five people have died. the bbc“s celestina olulode reports. the scar on my nose was starting to pound. it was so painful and without any opioids they were giving to me, i wasn't able to sleep, i wasn't able to do anything. i even told my consultants that, whatever you want to do, you have my full consent because i am feeling that i am going to die. haroun has fully recovered but the global surge in cases has encouraged

the world health in short, we have an outbreak that has spread around the world rapidly through new modes of transmission, about which we understand too little and which meets the criteria in the international health regulations. i have decided that the global monkeypox outbreak represents a public health emergency of international concern. first discovered in central africa, a key symptom of the virus is a rash which develops into blisters and finally scabs, but it doesn“t spread easily. it requires close contact, mainly skin to skin, and exposure to blisters which contain the virus. it can spread through coughs and sneezes but it is much harder to catch than covid. at this infectious diseases ward, they“ve treated dozens of patients, mainly gay and bisexual men.

the virus, if you like, has seized an opportunity to get into a social network where people have shared characteristics, in this case it's men who have sex with men. there is concern that if we see continued waves of infection through multiple populations and then including people perhaps who have got weaker immune systems, that that could help the virus evolve further. most cases are mild and clear up within a few weeks but the who hopes today's announcement will help speed up the development of vaccines and limit the spread of the virus. celestina olulode, bbc news. damejenny harries is the chief executive of the uk health security agency. she explained what the uk is doing to combat the virus. well, for the uk, the risks to

individuals currently is no different today than it was yesterday following the who announcement. of course, that doesn't mean that we are not being very proactive in our interventions to try to prevent any unnecessary transmissions of the virus. we“ve transmissions of the virus. we've got a number of different programmes in place. obviously, the first one is to ensure that individuals know what to look for, and your newsreader has just what to look for, and your newsreader hasjust gone what to look for, and your newsreader has just gone through some of those signs and symptoms, but equally, we have also put in place a vaccination strategy here, firstly, once high—risk contacts have been exposed, but particularly now we are offering vaccination to individuals who are identified as likely to be at high risk. and what we are hoping to do is prevent cases coming on board.— coming on board. given what people have been there _ coming on board. given what people have been there over— coming on board. given what people have been there over the _ coming on board. given what people have been there over the last - coming on board. given what people have been there over the last two i have been there over the last two and a half years with covid, and we are still not out of the woods with that yet, but people will have felt

the restrictions on their lives, the trauma of the losses that many families have faced, the loss of loved ones to the virus, are we in danger of being on the cusp of something similar? or is it not quite the same magnitude? t something similar? or is it not quite the same magnitude? i think this is very. _ quite the same magnitude? i think this is very. very — quite the same magnitude? i think this is very, very different. - this is very, very different. obviously cove it is a respiratory virus. this virus is predominantly a very close contact virus, and that is why it is spreading in the way that it is. i think one of the reasons that the director general at the who has gone out with this announcement today is because we do have tools to prevent the spreading, and there is a lot that we don't know about how it's transmitting currently, so we have a good idea. it's not a completely new virus, but it is showing some changes both in the genome and in the way it is transmitting. so by working globally, internationally together, we can ensure we understand the

benefits of the vaccinations that we have, we can better understand transmission, and i'm sure that research and advice will change as we go through managing this outbreak. it is a call to arms internationally, and the uk hsa is working with and was the first to identify this group of monkeypox patients. it's been a day of more lengthy delays and frustration for thousands of people, 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 uk port of dover, or the eurotunnel terminal at folkestone. from dover, here“s ramzan karmali. the queues on the motorway leading into dover. it's becoming a familiar sight. yesterday's chaos repeating itself today and for many holiday—makers trying to get away, this has become the worst possible start to their summer break.

but most travellers knew they were going to face a long wait. 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 keep creeping forwards and it's been 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 is expected to be higher at 10,000. so officials are warning there will be delays. and it's feared these types of delays could become commonplace throughout the summer. around 3,000 lorries also attempted 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 was confident that situation wouldn't be repeated to the same extent. after the terrible disruption from yesterday and all the impact it had on travellers and truck drivers in 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 have 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. congestion also began building up around neighbouring folkestone on the a20. that had a knock—on effect on eurotunnel services too. from leaving junction 12 of the motorway, it took us seven hours to get to the terminal. it's about two miles i think. eurotunnel was adamant that some of the delays were beyond its control. when the channel tunnel was built, no requirements for passport controls, no requirements for customs controls on goods moving backwards and forwards between the uk and france. that's different now. so the introduction of controls has some effect on the speed with which people will travel through the terminals. today was probably the port of dover“s busiest day since the pandemic as thousands of families tried to travel abroad for the first time in three years.

ramzan karmali, bbc news. here in the uk, the two candidates battling it out to become prime minister, have taken their campaigns to the tory party faithful, hoping to impress the voters who“ll ultimately decide who wins. speaking in margaret thatcher's birthplace of grantham, rishi sunak suggested liz truss“ tax plans were "immoral" as they“d increase borrowing. however in kent, she said it was "wrong" to take money rishi sunak suggested liz truss“ tax plans were "immoral" 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's perhaps because she's still revered by many of the conservative party members who choose our next prime minister. rishi sunak even travelled to her birthplace of grantham to praise her financial responsibility and to attack his opponent's plans for immediate tax cuts. we have to tell the truth about tax.

i will deliver more tax cuts, but i will not put money back in your pockets knowing that rising inflation will only whip it straight back out. i've been very clear that not only do i think it is the wrong thing for the economy, i do also believe it is immoral. and he pledged to set up a task force to clear nhs backlogs, paid for by the national insurance rise, which liz truss would reverse. by the way, when mrs thatcher was in power, 364 economists wrote saying her ideas were bad and she went on and won three elections. touring kent today, liz truss suggested she was more in the tradition of mrs thatcher by being willing to ignore conventional wisdom to bring about big changes. i'm being very honest about the situation. we face the biggest economic crisis we've had for a generation, and now is not the time for business as usual. now is the time for bold action to get the british economy going,

to unleash all the talent we have in this country, to unleash the businesses to produce more, and that is why i favour keeping our taxes low. rishi sunak and liz truss served in the same cabinet, but with such stark divisions emerging on the economy, it“s sometimes difficult to believe they are in the same party. but tory members set to receive their ballot papers injust over a week, expect both campaigns to put even more policy differences on display. both candidates have been emphasising their closeness to mrs thatcher's ideas as well as their differences from each other. they go head to head in the bbc debate on monday, each hoping it will move them along the path to number 10. iain watson, bbc news. china has revealed for the first time that its most senior leaders including president xijinping have been vaccinated against covid—19, using chinese—made vaccines. until now, there's been no information — only speculation — about the vaccination status of china's top politicians. one of argentina's biggest football clubs, independiente

of buenos aires, has been forced to cancel a match on saturday following violent clashes between supporters and police. authorities say 48 people were arrested and at least 15 police officers were injured. here's a treat for fans of the lord of the rings. a new prequel to the epic drama has been made by amazon prime — and it's being billed as the most expensive tv show ever created. it was launched at "comic con" in san diego, and our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba has also been looking at what else has been on offer at the festival. today, our days of peace begin. it has been billed as the most expensive tv series ever, with a price tag rumoured to be in excess of $1 billion. add to that the expectation of a group of fans who grew up watching director peterjackson“s trilogy. so...

can you get something more pressured than this? there is a pressure, that is also really exciting. i'm a lord of the rings fan, so i'm with them. and i'm really excited for them to see it. with fantasy, with anything with a fandom, i don't feel it really exists until it is out there, so i feel like we are about to finally give birth to this. together we can survive this! the universe created byjrr tolkein has, of course, a timeless quality. the cast and crew behind this new story, set thousands of years before the hobbit and lord of the rings, are hoping it will be equally appealing. the things in tolkein are really universal. it's about good versus evil, and we can all get behind that. i hope that it stands the test of time, and that people want to keep watching it.

hopefully people just have fun when they watch it. of course, comic—con would not be what it is today without, well, comics. earlier today in hall h, the equivalent of the pyramid stage here, matrix and john wick star keanu reeves took part in a huge event talking about his comic book series, berserker. i am finally close to an answer. the story is about an immortal battling through the ages launched in 2021, and a tv series on netflix is already in the works. it was special for all of us, in the sense that it was the first comic book to be in hall h, it was really oriented towards cinema previously, and television, so to be part of that kind of history and to feel the audience and the appreciation and the passion for what we have been a part of creating, really special.

positive word—of—mouth spreading from events like this can give any project a huge boost, and that is what every tv series, comic book and movie here will be hoping for. finally — this is certainly something you don't want to get caught in. a huge jellyfish bloom which engulfed this boat off the coast of israel. jellyfish migrate in summer months but sea pollution and climate change are said to be the reason for their recent high concentration. hello. with low—pressure nearby, sunday “s weather will bring many of the same whether contrast across the uk that we start to the week with. for many northern and western areas, it was quite blustery, there was there was some rain at times whereas in south—east england and east anglia, it stayed stubbornly dry. it will be again during sunday. it will feel hotter in the sunshine.

he is the area of low pressure, as it begins to move across us. closest to that, some of the heaviest downpours. we ended saturday with some flooded rain in parts of northern ireland, for example. this is how things are to begin with and quite a warm, humid start to the day, quite misty, there will be some hill fog around and we will see some thicker clouds through wales, the midlands, and towards yorkshire, with some rain particularly into wales, slowly easing later in the day. elsewhere, a few sunny spells, some patchy rain or showers, then another dose of heavy, possibly thundery rain, moving into northern ireland. that is during the afternoon. as for temperatures, for many areas, it will be a touch warmer. eastern scotland, for example, hotter in the sunshine towards the south—east. east anglia could reach 31 celsius. overnight into monday, we keep heavy rain moving across scotland, perhaps with some rumbles of thunder. it will begin to turn largely dry

as we go into monday morning. there will still be a few showers around and it will still be rather humid out there and quite warm as monday begins. a few sunny spells here and there on monday but often a good deal of cloud around and they will be areas of showers moving from north to south on a freshening westerly northwesterly wind. some gales are quite possible into the northern isles, for example. for many, it will be turning cooler on monday, still into the mid 20s and east anglia and south—east england. low pressure moving away going into tuesday, it is about high—pressure beginning to nudge its way in. they will be a fair amount of cloud with this area of high pressure, and there will still be a few showers to be had, particularly towards northern and eastern areas, though most places will stay dry on tuesday, rather overcast at times, and temperatures are at or even a bit below normal for the time of year with that north—westerly breeze. now, from wednesday onwards, a couple of fine days, wednesday, thursday. friday brings a chance of rain again into scotland and northern ireland.

by then, south—eastern parts are still dry and turning warmer again.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are aubrey allegretti who is the political correspondent at the guardian and geri scott, who is a political reporter at the times. tomorrow“s front pages, starting with... let's start with the telegraph, which leads on the tory leadership race, and a pledge from rishi sunak to cap the number of refugees able to come to the uk. the scottish mail on sunday reports on what it calls the grim and ugly conditions on ferries in which ukrainian refugees are being sent to live.
