this is bbc news — i'm gareth barlow with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. explosion. there's been widespread condemnation as missiles hit ukraine's odesa port — hours after russia signed a deal with ukraine allowing grain to be exported to millions around the world. translation: no matter what russia promises, . they 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. the world health organisation declares the monkeypox outbreak is now a global health emergency. parts of california declare a state of emergency — as wildfires threaten thousands of homes — and authorites try to combat scorching heat and soaring temperatures.

on a mission of penitence — pope francis visits canada to meet survivors of the indigenous community, who suffered abuse at catholic—run schools. today, our days of peace begin. and the long wait is over for millions of lord of the rings fans as a tv prequel is launched at comic con with fantasy, with - anything with a fandom, i don't feel it really exists until it's out there. - so i feel we're like about to finally give birth to this. - hello and welcome to the programme. a landmark agreement to allow the export of grain from the ukrainian port of odesa has come under threat after the city was hit

by a missile strike, less than 2a hours after the deal was signed. russia had promised not to attack the port or any ships carrying grain out of it. but president zelensky said the strike showed that moscow would always find ways to avoid delivering on its agreements. there has been no direct response from the kremlin. our ukraine correspondent, james waterhouse, sent this report from odesa. in a war littered with broken promises an 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 was 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 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 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 boost the country's damaged economy and help address a globalfood crisis now hanging in the balance. translation: this agreement doesn't mean anything to me. | how can turkey and the united nations sign 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 used 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. later, we will have further analysis on the situation in odesa. the world health organisation, has declared the global outbreak of monkeypox, to be a public health emergency. 16,000 cases have so far been reported, in more than 75 countries

and territories. five people have died. as celestina olulode reports, it's hoped the declaration will help governments develop strategies to combat the spread of monkeypox, and speed up the development of vaccines. 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 organization to act. 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. earlier i spoke to doctor wafaa el—sadr. she is professor of epidemiology at columbia university and director of the new york city pandemic response institute. i asked her how they were responding. this outbreak has come very rapidly to new york city in particular and this country overall. and there has been attempts made at intensive mobilisation as quickly as possible to try to prevent further spread of this virus as well as of course to try to provide individuals affected with the most appropriate treatment

for their condition. what will the declaration, calling it a global health emergency, mean for you in practical terms and mean for both the national and international response? it's a very positive move because it allows for the beginning of work to overcome this outbreak across national lines and between countries which is important. we know this virus has spread to many countries around the world and therefore it requires collaboration, cooperation, sharing of resources, anticipating what will happen next and trying to learn from each other as we move forward in terms of how to overcome and stop transmission of this virus any further. how important is it to tackle potential stigma because most of these cases are being seen within men who have sex with men so what can be done to tackle any issues around stigmatisation? this is an important issue and the last thing

you want to do is stigmatise the affected population at this point. what stigma does is it hinders the response, it prevents people from coming for care or treatment, it prevents people from seeking prevention so i think we must be cautious that we do not stigmatise the population most effected at this point in time. this requires being very sensitive in terms of messaging and of course engaging this population specifically in terms of the messages and the tailoring of messages in orderfor us to gain their trust and to be able to assist in overcoming the spread of this virus. countries like uk for the example are administering example are administering vaccines for smallpox so where does this emergency go from here? i am optimistic if we mobilise as a global community we will be able to stop this outbreak from spreading further.

we do have tests available, we have vaccines although the supply of vaccines is insufficient at this point in time to meet the demand and we have treatment. but we have huge disparities in access to the vaccine, access to treatment across different countries around the world and i think what i am hoping is with this announcement by the who today will allow for a push towards producing more vaccines, sharing of vaccines, expertise and knowledge, as well as sharing the treatment that is available so everyone can benefit from these tools and hopefully this will mean we will collectively be able to contain this outbreak. let's get some of the day's other news human rights watch has urged the new president of sri lanka, ranil wickremesingher, to order security forces to cease all use of force against anti—government protesters.

the call came after hundreds of heavily armed soldiers stormed a section of the main protest site in colombo on friday. the hungarian prime minister, viktor orban, has said that ukraine can't win against russia, and has called on the us to help bring the war there to to an end. mr orban said that the strategy of imposing sanctions had failed. travellers heading to france through the port of dover in kent, and the eurotunnel at folkestone, are facing a third day of disruption. a major incident was declared on friday after vehicles were caught in trafficjams of several hours. france have beaten the netherlands to secure a place in the women's euro 2022 semi—finals. the score at full—time was 0—0 and a penalty decided the game in extra time. france will play germany on wednesday — the winner of that game will take on either england or sweden in the final.

a state of emergency has been declared in part of california as the largest active wildfire in the united states continues to spread rapidly near yosemite national park. firefighters have been unable to control the so—called oak fire, which started on friday. americans right across the country are preparing for record temperatures to rise further, as wildfires continue to sweep europe too. with the latest, here's mark lobel. it's an explosive combination with combustible results. forests combined with drier conditions linked to climate change has caused this oak fire, the biggest wildfire this season, in part resembling a cauldron or volcano. as the wildfire rages since first igniting two weeks ago some of the worlds oldest giant sequoia trees remain under threat.

researchers say human caused global warming has played a role in the creation of this current drought in nevada's largest reservoir, a crucial water source for millions here. there is excessively hot weather in the cotton producing xinjiang region of china, long lasting and destructive heat waves causing mudslides with some meteorologists blaming climate change as they warn of its consequences here. translation: when travelling into the mountains watch out for snow and ice melting floods also the high temperatures lasting for a long time which will have an impact on crops. in italy, the battle to contain wild fires continues as the country experiences its worst drought in 70 years. meanwhile, with another heatwave expected to last over a week, tourists and residents were told to leave a popular resort on the greek

island of lesbos. hundreds evacuated from hotels and houses. as firefighting planes fought the blazes that stormed the beaches as well. wildfires reignite in the north—west of france as amongst the thousands of hectares damaged from similarfires in south—west france, a firefighter is able to fry an egg like this whilst the widerflames are brought under control after days of disruption. hundreds now able to return home, anxious about what they left behind. translation: at last, it is good to have the garden back especially to the house which is in good condition. these disruptions are likely to become more

common as human induced climate change makes extreme temperatures and drought causing scenes like these. you are watching bbc news, a reminder of the headlines: there's been widespread condemnation of a missile attack on the ukrainian city of odesa a day after russia signed a deal with ukraine to allow grain to be exported from the port. the head of the world health organisation has declared the monkeypox outbreak to be an international public health emergency. let's cope more on the situation in ukraine. earlier i spoke to brendan kearney — a retired us marine colonel. i began by asking him for his take on the siuation in odesa, well, i think obviously, the russians are continuing to target, as they have for the past five months, civilian populations that pose no tactical

value to anyone. so other than being a port city that is critical to these shipments of grain, it really is a questionable utility as to why the russians are doing what they're doing. we talk about this grain deal. to give people some sense of context here lebanon, for example, cash strapped, crisis stricken lebanon imports normally 81% of its wheat from ukraine. yemeni children facing starvation would often get food that would come from ukraine here. all of these events happening around the world. yet president putin, 2a hours after this deal is signed, is happy to bomb the port. what does this tell us about the mentality of the leadership in moscow? well, again, i think it's a it's a very, very clear signal that the russians completely disregard the accepted norms of behaviour when it comes to conflict. you know, war is bad. there's no doubt about that for everybody concerned.

but to go ahead and target civilian populations, and especially one that is located in odesa, which is an absolutely critical logistical node for the supply of grain out to the rest of the world isjust, it borders on irrationality. there's no sense to be made from it. and as rational men, you and i probably can't come up with the reason why you would do something like this. the united nations secretary general, antonio guterres, said that the deal which was signed alongside the turkish president was his greatest work as leader of the united nations. this seems to expose the weakness of the diplomacy at the moment. what can the world do to try and stop these egregious acts? well, you know, i think the world is and the un continues to be caught between and this is an american term, a rock and a hard spot. what can they do?

the un has proven to be particularly ineffective in these type of situations due to the russians and the chinese veto over any resolution that could increase a united nations response to this russian aggression. you know, and the turks have done a masterfuljob. they would like to see the black sea return to a peaceful lake for them. but it'sjust, there's not much the world really can do unless we want to risk the chance of a much larger war. and that would involve, of course, united nations, un or i'd say probably us and nato forces going into ukraine and putting a stop to this. but i think that's too risky for the world's palate right now. pope francis is arriving in canada today on a mission he describes as �*penitential�*. he is going to meet

the survivors of the indigenous community who suffered abuse at catholic—run schools. leaders say they are hoping for more than an apology — they want action, as gail maclellan reports. pontiff speaks in italian. as the pope embarks on what he calls his pilgrimage of penance, he knows the church has much to atone for in canada. more than 150,000 indigenous children were taken from their homes and many subjected to abuse, rape, malnutrition and death at residential schools, 70% of which were run by the catholic church. last year, the remains were recovered of more than 250 children at a former residential school in british columbia and since then more have been found at other former schools

around the country. -- 215 —— 215 children. church leaders say the visit to canada is not celebratory. he is deeply seized by the fact terrible things happened in the past, perpetrated in many cases by people who were representing the church so it's a horrible thing which has left him to use his words, feeling shame and indignation. the pope has already apologised for the harm caused by the schools but as he prepares to repeat those words on canadian soil, some think another apology will not bring about reconciliation. open up the secret archives so we can get the daily journals and i think that will help more with reconciliation than him saying sorry. that would be affirmative action to say, look, an apology, it doesn't really mean anything to me. what i want is affirmative action for them to open up the archives and let our researchers go in there. the theme of the visit is walking together. the indigenous community would like that walk to be in the direction of the truth.

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. 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.

reinforcing my personal opinion that the sea is terrifying! 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 m—zimba has also been lizo mzimba has also been looking at what else has been on offer at the festival. today, our days of peace begin. it's been billed as the most expensive tv series ever, with a price tag rumoured to be in excess of $1,000,000,000. our strange... add to that the expectation of a group of fans who grew up watching director peterjackson�*s oscar winning trilogy. so can you get something more precious than this? so can you get something more pressured than this?

yeah, the... there is a pressure, but that's also really exciting. i mean, i'm a lord of the rings fan, so i'm with them and i'm really excited for them to see it. and also kind of with fantasy, with anything with a fandom, i don't feel it really exists until it's out there. so i feel we're like about to finally give birth to this. together we can survive this. the universe created byjrr tolkien has, of course, a timeless quality. the cast and crew behind this new story set thousands of years before the events of the hobbit and the lord of the rings are hoping it will be equally appealing. the themes in tolkien are really universal, you know what i mean? so i feel like the play is about good versus evil and you know, and we can all sort of get behind that. so, you know, i hope that it can stand the test of time and you know, people want to keep watching it. and yeah, ifeel like hopefully people just have fun when they watch it. of course comic con wouldn't be what it is without, well, comics.

and 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 successful comic book series berserker. i'm 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. i think 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 a part of that kind of history and also just to feel the audience and the appreciation and the passion for what we've 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's what every tv series, comic book and movie here will be hoping for. liso mzimba, bbc

news at comic—con. for the first time in 70 years, two jaguar cubs have been born in the wild in argentina. their mother arami was released with a gps tracking collar in 2021 and has now given birth. according to the rewilding foundation, there are less than 250 jaguars living in the wild in argentina and it's hoped these cubs will help boost those numbers. look at them! don't forget you'll find lots more on the stories we're covering on our website — just head to bbc.com/news or download the bbc news app. the top stories include the wildfires raging in california.

ten homes have been destroyed. hello. with low—pressure nearby, sunday's weather will bring many of the same weather contrasts across the uk that we start to the week with. for many northern and western areas, it was quite blustery, 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. here 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 and spreading towards scotland. 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 there 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 in east anglia and south—east england. low pressure moving away, going into tuesday, it is about high—pressure beginning to nudge its way in. there 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.

this is bbc news, the headlines: the united states has accused russia of worsening a global food crisis by carrying out a missile strike on the ukrainian port of odesa. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, said moscow had breached friday's landmark agreement to resume grain exports through the black sea. the world health organization has declared the outbreak of monkeypox to be an international public health emergency. the disease has now been found in 75 countries, with most infections concentrated in europe, largely among men who had sex with multiple male partners. parts of california have declared a state of emergency as wildfires threaten thousands of homes and authorites try to combat scorching heat and soaring temperatures.
