this is bbc news broadcasting in the uk and around the globe. i'm chris rogers. our top stories... the two contenders to be britain's next prime minister — rishi sunak and liz truss — vow to toughen controls on migration into the uk. russia says a missile strike on the port of odesa on saturday targeted military installations, ukraine's president denounced the attack as "barbaric". after 48 hours of gridlock at britain's port of dover and the channel tunnel, travellers are warned to expect another challenging day. the world health organization steps up its response to the growing outbreaks of monkeypox, declaring its highest level of alert.

hello and welcome to bbc news. the focus of the conservative leadership race — to elect the next british prime minister — is switching to immigration, with both candidates setting out measures to control the uk's borders. the former chancellor, rishi sunak, has proposed a ten—point plan — including a cap on refugee numbers, and witholding aid from countries which won't accept the return of asylum seekers whose claims have failed. the foreign secretary, liz truss, has told a newspaper she would increase the number of frontline border force staff by a fifth. joining me now is our political correspondent, tony bonsignore.

you have been looking in detail at the ten point plan from rishi sunak, what are they saying in more detail? liz truss saying this morning all over the mail on sunday, her key message is she will continue with the rwanda plan, try and expand it to other countries. you mentioned increasing borderfor to other countries. you mentioned increasing border for staff, to other countries. you mentioned increasing borderfor staff, and increasing border for staff, and strengthening increasing borderfor staff, and strengthening the bill of rights so there is a sound legal basis to tackle illegal immigration. rishi sunak with his ten point plan has gone further today. i expect more from liz truss in the days to come. narrower definition, he says, of who qualifies for asylum as is currently the case in the un convention on human rights. ending use he says of hotels to house migrants. you mention the idea of withholding aid,

certain trade terms, for countries who do not agree to accept people who do not agree to accept people who have failed in terms of getting asylum in this country. i think the most eye—catching suggestion here is that he would have a cap on the number of refugees, with the cap being determined by parliament. i think rishi sunak certainly trying to go on the offensive here in this part of the contest, trying to take the fight directly to liz truss. yesterday, we heard a lot of talk about how to tackle the rising cost of living, notjust exclusive to the uk but that is their focus. today very much the focus on immigration, why immigration? part very much the focus on immigration, why immigration?— why immigration? part of the appeal of talkin: why immigration? part of the appeal of talking about _ why immigration? part of the appeal of talking about immigration - why immigration? part of the appeal of talking about immigration is - why immigration? part of the appeal of talking about immigration is that l of talking about immigration is that both rishi sunak and liz truss think it is something that will appeal to conservative party members. they are going to decide who the next leader and prime minister is. ballot papers

going out this week. i think for rishi sunak, he perhaps smells a bit of an opportunity here. what he could argue is that liz truss has been foreign secretary. he says the whole system is chaotic and broken. could put the blame for that at the door of liz truss. don't forget, if we want to go back all those years, rishi sunak was a brexiteer and liz truss voted remain. he could link those two things. the problem for both candidates, so closely associated with borisjohnson and the current policy i am not sure the difference is necessarily going to break through with conservative members. ., , ., members. tony, you mention conservative _ members. tony, you mention conservative party _ members. tony, you mention conservative party members. members. tony, you mention - conservative party members there, they decide. we have one of those membersjoining us now to they decide. we have one of those members joining us now to see what they think of what they have heard so far. we can speak to...

sally—ann marks who is chair of the maidstone and weald conservative association. have you made your mind up? no, i haven't, i am looking forward to the hustings in ten minutes' time. going down to eastbourne and looking forward to listening to both candidates in the same room. really seeing how they perform, i think. and also, i really want to see the breadth of their policies. what and also, i really want to see the breadth of their policies. what are our views breadth of their policies. what are your views for _ breadth of their policies. what are your views for the _ breadth of their policies. what are your views for the plans _ breadth of their policies. what are i your views for the plans immigration were hearing about today? some charities that help refugees and immigrants have branded them as cruel. i immigrants have branded them as cruel. ~ , ., immigrants have branded them as cruel. ~ , . . , , cruel. i think it is an incredibly difficult situation. _ cruel. i think it is an incredibly difficult situation. and - cruel. i think it is an incredibly difficult situation. and off- cruel. i think it is an incredibly difficult situation. and off a i cruel. i think it is an incredibly| difficult situation. and off a lot of promises made and plans put out and policies fund. but the real

situation is there are so many of them, will they be ported to coming to great britain? there seems to be a bit of a disconnect and that we know a lot of them are really coming here for extremely difficult reasons, reasons of oppression, persecution and so on. i totally accept that. the economic migrants however seem to see this as the sunny uplands of the world, it seems to me. maybe they are right. we simply can't take as many as are coming over certainly at the moment, the numbers coming over daily. i think it needs a refresh and a look at again. i think it's almost an impossible situation to crack. another impossible situation is the rising cost of living, people really feeling it across the uk. two very different views on how we tackle that, which one do you agree with so far? i that, which one do you agree with so far? . ,., , ., that, which one do you agree with so far? . , ., far? i am sorry to sound in the middle but _

undecided. are you in the minority or do think some of your 400 members where you are are like you? i or do think some of your 400 members where you are are like you?— where you are are like you? i hope the are. where you are are like you? i hope they are- the _ where you are are like you? i hope they are. the whole _ where you are are like you? i hope they are. the whole point - where you are are like you? i hope they are. the whole point of- where you are are like you? i hope they are. the whole point of it - where you are are like you? i hope they are. the whole point of it is i they are. the whole point of it is to listen to both candidates. i know one of the candidates has been doing the rounds in kent. certainly yesterday spent a lot of time there. i wasn't able to go because i was away, i am sorry i didn't go because i wanted to hear up close and personal what that candidate was saying. i am sure the other candidate will do the same. i think they are travelling the country on a huge roadshow, exhausting time for them. but i genuinely want to listen. and i hope that people won't send off their voting slip until they have at least probably researched, listen to the candidates and hopefully gone on to one of the hustings that is being planned over the next few days. the hustings that is being planned over the next few days.— hustings that is being planned over the next few days. the big problem for the conservative _ the next few days. the big problem for the conservative party - the next few days. the big problem for the conservative party on - the next few days. the big problem for the conservative party on a - for the conservative party on a whole, there could be a general

election almost certainly in the next two years. the wider public have seen a reader being changed pretty much every three years. do you wish perhaps, do some of your fellow members which perhaps, they had just stuck with boris johnson? i had just stuck with borisjohnson? i suspect some will. some won't. some are sitting on the fence again. but i really do feel that that ship has sailed and we have to look forward now with the two candidates we have got. we did have an inspirational leader in boris. i voted for him. but i think sadly there were too many things that happened that proved now was not the right time for him. and i hope that all politicians will reflect on what their promise —— what they promise and deliver, to be honest and open but realistic in what they can

achieve. and honestly, the public want to have an inspirational leader, of course we do, but we do want to have somebody that we can count on in real times of difficulty. so i hope everyone reflects, every politician, and i have been a minor politician in the past, i was a county councillor for many years. it always was absolutely the core of everything i believed, you are under promise and over deliver and you will always speak the truth. that is a really important thing for me for all politicians to remember. and also that they can be removed. salli? politicians to remember. and also that they can be removed. sally and marks sally-ann — that they can be removed. sally and marks sally-ann marks, _ that they can be removed. sally and| marks sally-ann marks, fascinating, marks sally—ann marks, fascinating, thank you. russia has confirmed that its forces targeted the ukrainian port

of 0desa on saturday, just a day after moscow and kyiv agreed to allow grain shipments to leave the port. russian foreign ministry spokeswoman maria zakharova says it struck a ukrainian military boat with high—precision missiles. ukraine's president, volodymyr zelensky, has accused moscow of barbarism over the attack. in his nightly video address, mrzelensky called the strike cynical. he also said his country's forces were gradually moving into the southern kherson region. russia took over most of the area in february. 0ur ukraine correspondent, james waterhouse, sent this report from 0desa. in a war littered with broken promises an especially devastating betrayal, two missiles launched from the black sea hitting 0desa'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. ukraine is one of the biggest

producers of aid and the blockade has hit profits. 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. we can cross live to odesa to speak to james. we have got rusher confirming they were behind the missile attack but

now there is debate over what the target was. what more do we know? there was footage yesterday which the bbc has verified which showed a burning ship. all the signs showed that it did not look outwardly at least like a military target but of course it is very hard to establish that completely. what is interesting is the detail of this deal, if it was a military vessel technically russia would not be in breach of the significant deal which was signed yesterday because that compels both sides to leave ports and ships associated or involved in the transportation of grain, it involves leaving them alone. in a sense, military targets are still fair game. if it is another type of vessel, it brings in more questions over whether the deal has been

violated a day after it was pretty much signed. the goals of the kremlin in launching this missile attack is clear, given that moscow has gains of its own in this agreement. it can also finally transported some grain and fertiliser which has struggled today because of existing sanctions so it's not clear why moscow has done this other than to simply flex its muscles, to tell ukraine, nowhere in your country is safe or out of range from our long—range missiles. that message also goes to people work in ports like odesa and there is a horrible famine breaking out in east africa and rising prices across world. we need that grain and those people worrying at that port will be worried for the safety even more than before now. i worried for the safety even more than before now.—

worried for the safety even more than before now. i think in terms of the bi aer than before now. i think in terms of the bigger picture — than before now. i think in terms of the bigger picture it _ than before now. i think in terms of the bigger picture it is _ than before now. i think in terms of the bigger picture it is hard - than before now. i think in terms of the bigger picture it is hard to - the bigger picture it is hard to understate the significance of this deal. it would have an impact, if this grain was released on the tenth of millions people at risk of starvation it would affect food prices, the profit that ukrainian farmers can make from selling grain. it has far—reaching consequences for millions of people and then what about those who have to operate for ships or the shipping companies, this is going from the ukraine government, you're saying preparations will continue, we will push on with this deal, even if the port of odesa is left unscathed and those ships make it out across the clear black seat, they will go along a route that is littered with mines. ukraine has said it will not carry out any more de—mining. also those ships won't be allowed to have unable escort, they will simply be accompanied by a minesweeping vessel to make their way through. if they make it through that, they will then

have to make their way through a sizeable russian naval blockade where they have dominated the black sea since well before this invasion. there are a lot of ifs and whats but this deal as far as all parties are concerned is driven by necessity. thank you for that. more details on the bbc news website. holidaymakers and hauliers are being warned to expect a third day of disruption around the port of dover and the channel tunnel. a major incident alert remains in place as officials work to clear a backlog of more than a thousand lorries stranded on nearby motorways. simon jones has the latest. working through the night at the port of dover, to try to clear the backlog of traffic. and there is a warning that for a third day, the summer getaway may end in gridlock. saturday saw little let—up in the long waits to cross the channel, with the roads around eurotunnel suffering too.

as we approached, all the roads in all directions were just nose to tail, people out of their cars, playing games at the side of the road. so i think actually, the infrastructure around the port, around the tunnel, needs to be looked at. because it's not fair on the locals. the immediate challenge has been to get the 1500 hgvs parked on the motorway on their way. we have lorries currently stacking on the m20 as part of operation brock, some of them have been there for several, several hours. and we need to now help them get through and across the channel. so we need to make sure that some priority's given to help get some freight across, but ultimately we now need to see some movement. the blame game continues. the british government said the french authorities had failed to mobilize enough border staff to check passports, and demanded action to resolve what it's calling a terrible situation. the french transport minister hit back, insisting france is not responsible for brexit and the extra checks that brings.

but there are now growing calls from politicians in kent for new infrastructure, such as lorry parks, to get freight off the road when there's cross—channel disruption. what we've been pushing for, for quite a long time, is to say that these should be treated as projects of national significance, nationally significant infrastructure. because clearly it has, as we've been talking about, a horrible effect on people in kent, and a damaging effect. it's also significant from the point of view of the country as a whole. this is the artery through which so much of our trade goes. the department for transport says it's investing more than £30 million to improve lorry parking facilities in england, but for now, the warning is that the coming months are set to be challenging. it will still be very, very busy throughout the whole summer. we've got another busy week on the next weekend, huge numbers of tourists crossing. we're back to pre—pandemic levels of tourists that are crossing the channel. in fact, in some places it's been even busier than it was

three orfour years ago. so we are prepared for that, we have traffic management plans in place in kent to really deal with that. and this weekend, the major incident declared by the authorities remains in force. simonjones, bbc news, dover. we can cross live to dover and speak to simon. what is the level of disruption there today, day three? it is going to be another— there today, day three? it is going to be another really _ there today, day three? it is going to be another really busy - there today, day three? it is going to be another really busy day. - to be another really busy day. yesterday they handled more than 33,000 passengers, that shows you the desire of people to get away on their summer holidays. today they are expecting another 6500 cars to pass through. look at the queues building up waiting to get through passport control and to get through and check in. they are starting to grow but the good news here in dover is the local roads are moving normally this morning, it certainly wasn't that case on friday and into saturday, but it is around folkestone that there are the real

problems at the eurotunnel terminal because people are having huge problems reaching the terminal in the first place. the reason for that is part of the m 20 motorway has been shut to become a giant lorry park, it is currently being used to park, it is currently being used to park around 600 lorries that haven't been able to get across the channel. as a result of that all other traffic whether it is heading to dover or folkestone or whether it wants to simply get around kent is put onto local roads and they are struggling to cope. we have been speaking to families, one told us they arrived at folkestone at about nine o'clock yesterday morning, they finally got onto a train at 6am this morning. they had to sleep in their car. eurotunnelsite morning. they had to sleep in their car. eurotunnel site once people get to the terminal the trains are running and people waiting a couple of hours but people are finding it difficult to get there in the first place and as a result the kent resilience forum is now beginning to hand out food and dragged to the

is to blame for this, i think behind—the—scenes probably a more consolatory approach is being taken between britain and france. it is in the interests of both countries to get this sorted.— the uk's health security chief says programmes are in place to prevent and treat monkeypox, after the outbreak was declared a global health emergency by the world health organization. the classification is the highest alert that the who can issue, and follows a worldwide rise in cases. aisling mcveigh reports. 16,000 cases of monkeypox worldwide prompted the world health organization to declare the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. the strongest call to action the agency can make. and while the development could be seen as concerning, health officials in the uk have stressed the situation is not something people should unduly worry about. for the uk, the risk to individuals currently is no different today than it was yesterday,

following the who announcement, but of course that doesn't mean that we're not being very proactive in our interventions to try and prevent any unnecessary transmissions of the virus and we have got a number of different programmes in place. monkeypox is a viral disease from africa. the symptoms are a rash that develops into scabs. it requires close contact to spread, mainly skin to skin, and can also be spread through coughs and sneezes. currently, there are 2,208 confirmed cases in the uk. while anyone can get monkeypox, the majority of cases continue to be in gay and bisexual men. this week the nhs announced it was stepping up his vaccination programme. the world health organization hopes labelling the outbreak a public health emergency will speed up the development of vaccines and limit the spread of the virus. a leading ukjudge has criticised

the number of divorce cases going to court, saying the confrontational nature of the system is harming outcomes for both adults and children. in a rare interview with a sitting judge, the chairman of the family division of the high court for england and wales, sir andrew mcfarlane, told broadcasting house that while thousands of cases were rightly heard in court — about a fifth of them should not be. one of the world's most famous models, kate moss, has revealed how a photoshoot as a teenager opened her eyes to the dangers of the fashion industry. ms moss told the bbc�*s desert island discs that she was asked to take her bra off at a shoot when she was is—years—old. the model said the experience had "sharpened her instinct" and that as a result she could "tell a wrong'un a mile away". 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. 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. people across the united states 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. california's fuel choked, highly flammable forests combined with drier conditions linked to climate change has now caused this oak fire,

the biggest wildfire this season, in part resembling a cauldron or volcano. as the wildfire rages since first igniting over two weeks ago some of the world's oldest giant sequoia trees remain under threat. researchers say human—caused global warming has played a role in the creation of this current drought on nevada's lake mead, the us'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 widespread heatwaves risk causing flashfloods and mudslides with some meteorologists blaming climate change as they warn of its consequences here. translation: when travelling into the mountains watch out i 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 wildfires 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 were 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 similar fires in south—west france, a firefighter is able to fry an egg like this whilst the wider flames are brought under control after days of disruption. hundreds now able to return home, anxious to see what they left behind.

translation: at last, _ it is good to have the garden back especially to the house which is in good condition. despite relief in this instance, these disruptions are likely to become more common as human induced climate change makes extreme temperatures and drought causing scenes like these. mark lobel, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. there will west. heat, with temperatures getting into the low 30s. it was a wet night last night across northern
